"Peeta Mellark! Oh no, I think. Not him. Because I recognize this
name, although I have never spoken directly to it's owner. Peeta
Mellark. No, the odds are not in my favor today."
Page 25 (direct quote from book)
Katniss is shocked because she recognizes the name, and feels scared because Peeta saved her life before (by giving her the bread) and she is thinking how she will have to fight him in the Hunger Games.
A kiss with peeta
Peeta fell in love with Katniss when they were young, and Katniss didn't return the feelings. Peeta was in love with Katniss before the story started, and Katniss began to like him back during the "cave scene" near the middle of the first novel.
In the first book, Katniss and Peeta both survive because Katniss pulls out poisonous berries (referred to as nightlock) and gives half of them to Peeta, telling him that if they both can't live, then niether of them should. In Catching Fire, Finnick, Beetee, Enobaria, Johanna, Katniss, and Peeta all survive because Katniss blew up the force field to the arena.
Katniss and Peeta's main connection is the bread. When they were little, Peeta had a huge crush on her, which was unknown to Katniss, and he took a beating from his mother and gave her a loaf of bread because she was poor and had no food.
She doesn't get to see Peeta because Peeta wants to kill her. Peeta was kidnapped by the Capitol and they used trackerjacker venom to corrupt the images of Katniss in Peeta's head so that when he sees her, he will try to kill her.

Peeta loved Katniss first
Ever since Peeta first saw Katniss he was in love with her. Katniss's' first memory of him was when she was starving and she tried looking for food in Peeta's family's bins. His mother chased her away put Peeta purposely burnt a loaf of bread so Katniss could have it. Peeta tells Katniss in the 74th Hunger Games that he remembers that in assembly Katniss was the first to volunteer to sing a song. He declares it in the interview to help Katniss in the arena an made her look more vulnerable. Katniss takes this offensively and accidently injures Peeta. Haymitch then convinces Katniss that this was a good thing.

Peeta has had a crush on Katniss every since the first day of kindergarten.

It would seem as if she loved Gale first and then Peeta.
That's all they did in the first book.
* Sparks flew *
Peeta hopes (in the first book) to end up with Katniss out of the arena. At this stage, the audience is on the side of Gale who is obviously a better choice for Katniss.
Katniss doesn't relize it at first but she loves him more than gale.
