UPDATE ON 1/12/13:

So if you've been a long time reader, you know that I've been struggling with this story. I hated it SOO MUCH, and I thought of deleting it. But ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL DEAR READERS stopped and begged to continue. After a long time of thinking, I've decided to actually re-write the whole story! I've deleted all of the previous chapters, and re-posted the re-written ones! :D

There will be big changes, and all the beach fun stuff will be cut out. Or at least added… later.

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS STORY FOR ALL THIS TIME! I LOVE YOU ALL!

Okay, now on to the story! Please enjoy! :)

Katniss' POV:

Today is the first day of school. For me, of course. I have recently moved from Minnesota to California, and I'm being placed in a new school…in the middle of the year! Sucks right?

I'm standing on the concrete sidewalk outside the school, and I suck in a breath at the sight.

So there's the big school, that's way bigger than my old school. Well, because my school was a pretty small community.

Small. Filthy. Poor. Yup, that sums up my old school.

Huge. Luxurious. Rich. And that, sums up this…this heavenly school. And this is too heavenly to be a public school. YES, that's right! I've been sent away to boarding school!

And you'd think, "WOW! This girl must be so rich to be in a luxurious boarding school!"

No, you've thought wrong. One word. Scholarship. Straight A's, 4.0's, extra credit, how can I not get in?

I'm one of the few people who got accepted to this school with the status of mine; poor. Yeah, I'm not embarrassed about it. There are other things in life to worry about.

As if I can feel it, a pair of eyes bore at the side of my head. In a swift motion, I turn my head to the left, to only meet the eyes of a huge, muscular boy around my age, with short blond hair. He leans against a large tree outside of the school, not far from where I am.

What makes him stand out the most, are his eyes. Blue. Icy blue. Strikingly beautiful, icy blue. Wait, what am I saying? When and where did I ever pick up those words?

I then notice that he isn't alone though. There are 3 other guys with him that are currently having a hilarious conversation, by their loud cackling and knee slapping. How charming.

Suddenly, one of his friends with light brown hair comes up to the blond and gives him a questioning look. He then waves a hand over the blonds' face, and we both quickly break eye contact. How long have we been staring. He must think I'm a creep. Wait, I'm the one who should think he's a creep. He stared at me first.

I clutch my notebook tightly against my chest with one hand, and the other tightly holding the strap of my messenger bag that hangs on my shoulder.

I snake my way through the crowd of wandering teens, but not without being stared down by them. A quicken my pace in awkwardness, and get in the school.

But wait! Once I step foot in the school tiles, all eyes are on me. It's like they never seen a new student. Have they? I shift uncomfortably under their gazes, and continue walking. But… to where? I should probably find the principal's office to get my locker combo and textbooks.

For what feels like an eternity of walking up stairs and circling hallways, I still have not found the principal's office yet! Why does this school have to be so big!?

As I continue my search, I suddenly collide into something hard. I drop my bag and hit the floor butt-first. Papers and books are scatter around the school floors.

I let out a groan in pain, and slowly sit up, to see the same blond boy from earlier. Wow, he's larger up close. He's freaking HUGE. ALL muscle. His biceps are bigger than my thighs!

Murmurs and snickers fill the hall, and I look down on my lap, hiding my flushed face. What a great way to start off the first day.

A large hand then comes in my vision, and I look up to see the blond, knelt down with his arm reached out towards me. I take it hastily, and get right off the floor, picking up my belongings as I do.

Okay, Katniss. Now is the time to walk away awkwardly, before anything else happens. I quickly turn around to do so, but I'm stopped when a hand grabs my small shoulders. Oh no, he's going to kill me now.

Slowly, I turn back around, and give him a small, nervous smile. He quickly returns the smile, and clears his throat, and reaches out his hand again to me. "Cato, my name is Cato."

My eyes dart down to his hand, and then back up to his eyes. I don't know why, but something about him… makes me breathless. What am I even saying?

"And your name?" he says with an arched brow.

"Um, Katniss." I respond shortly, as I grab his large hand and shake it slightly.

"Katniss." He tests out, tapping his chin with his fingers. "That's an… interesting name. Not very common." He says with a smirk. Wait, was that supposed to be offensive?

I lightly scoff at him, "Yeah, like yours is everybody's favorite name."

A smirk then grows on his face. "In this school, my name is everybody's favorite name. Right ladies?" Cato asks, turning to 2 girls that stand near their lockers to his right.

He flashes them both a smile, and they pretty much melt, with a tinted pink color rising on their cheeks. Cato arches a brow sexily at them for an answer, and they both nod their pretty little heads furiously at him, not before they whisper to each other with excited squeals and giggles.

His eyes then turn back to me. "See?" he says arrogantly, crossing his arms. I simply roll my eyes at him, and turn to walk away from him.

Not long after take several steps away from the scene, I hear Cato shout for my name. I stop in my tracks, feeling irritated, annoyed, and frustrated. Doesn't he have other girls to bother? I'm sure they'd love to be bothered by hot, hot Cato.

I let out an aggravated sigh before swiftly turning back around to him, whipping my long brown braid on the way, only to stumble into a large, sculpted chest.

What the hell now?! I didn't need to actually say that, because my fierce glare says it all.

I eye the blond, as he takes his time to study my face, my irritated face. His lips then form a smirk, again. He's doing that too much, it's annoying.

"You know, you're pretty hot when you mad." He says teasingly. He's kidding me, right?

Before I can stop myself, my face turns beet red. Cato's smirk then grows bigger at my reaction. Great, just great.

As I open my mouth to reply to him (and it's not going to be so nice), the bell rings.

I feel relief and frustration at the same time. Damn, I wanted to tell him off. But I least I can get away. And I do so, running off to my destination. Oh great, I still can't find it. Thanks a lot, Mr. Time waster.

Okay, how was it?
