Author's Note: So, this is my first Fanfic. My friend and I use to sit together for hours writing stories. We both agreed no-one was ever allowed to read our stories though. My friend was in a car accident last week and, well he didn't make it. It made me realise that I should give it all a shot and see how it goes. Be nice please


Chapter One (Prologue [sort of])

"I'm Katniss Everdeen. I'm sixteen years old, I have a little sister called Prim who is with the younger kids at the moment and I'm here with my friend Gale. I don't want to be here. I think this whole idea is pretty ridiculous." I look at all the older teens stood in front of me in pens according to age and gender. "I'm here because Prim had to come and I wouldn't let her come alone. Simple as that." I spoke how I felt, bored.

"Oh how lovely! And how old is our little Prim!" The woman next to me was wearing the most ridiculous set of extensions I had ever seen and he voice drove me insane. Her name was Effie. Even saying it made everyone's voices go as high as hers, it was ridiculous. I suddenly realised what she had said. Prim was not hers.

"Prim is thirteen. Are we done now?" I spoke very rudely and Effie pursed her lips at me and shuffled me off the wooden stage.

"How lovely, I do love it when siblings come to our camp together. It's so lovely. All that love they share together. Just marvellous, don't you think!" I ducked under the rope of the pens and slid in next to a girl with a sticker saying 'Madge' on her chest. She smiled at me and I felt myself smiling back unintentionally. "So, now that everyone has spoken, I am going to direct you towards your directors. They will be in charge of you while you are here, they'll explain it more when you get there! When I say your name, please listen to the cabin number I tell you and walk – orderly of course – to that cabin and take a seat. Your director will appear when everyone has been put into your group! Lovely hm!" Effie continued to ramble on, I scanned the boys' pens looking for Gale, I found him almost instantly.

He was towering over most of the other boys in the pens; he looked over to me and winked. I felt a nudge in my elbow and I turned to the girl called Madge.

"Is he your boyfriend?" She asked. She sounded confident but she was repeatedly licking her lips so I assumed she was as alone as I was in this pen.

"No, we aren't dating. We're just good friends." I finished the conversation quickly but then I felt bad because she blushed in embarrassment and stepped away slightly. "I'm Katniss. Katniss Everdeen." I held out my hand, Madge smiled and shook it.

"I know, it says on your sticker." Madge giggled and it was such an infectious giggle I found myself giggling too.

"Katniss Everdeen! Cabin number 16! Hurry along now!" Effie's shrill voice rang through my brain and I shuddered.


Author's Note: So yeah, it's really short but I nearly started a fight with myself just to upload it :) I'd love some reviews to let me know how it is, mistakes, or anything. If there's anyone that could help me get to grips with the whole idea of writing Fanfics it would totally rock!
