Panem High

Gale P.O.V

I see Katniss looking at me though my car window, and smile to myself. It's so obvious that she's had a crush on me since 8th Grade. I'm Gale Hawthorne, and I go to Panem High. We are a very large school, with 24,000 students. Because of this, we're separated into 12 teams, which determine who we have in our core classes, who our homeroom teacher is, and what our schedules look like. I'm on team 12, with 2,000 other students. Our mascot is a Coal Miner.

The teams also decide who you compete with on a team for the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are a school-wide event, basically our own Olympics. However, some of the events are a little obscure. Sure, we have Swimming, Archery and Javelin throwing, but we also have knot tying, poisonous plants, and fence climbing, and, oddly enough, singing in our competitions. Team 12 hasn't won a Hunger Games in 24 years. In the past, we've won two games. This is the least amount of any team, with Team 11 having won three games, winning last year.

It's the first day of school. I walk from my car to the entrance building. Principal Snow is there, with Vice Principal Coin and Guidance Counselor Trinket to hand us our schedules. "Hello Mr. Hawthorne. Here's your schedule." Vice Principal Coin says to me.

"Thanks Ms. Coin." I reply.

Ms. Coin is my mother's best friend. She's known me my whole life. While she doesn't favor me over other kids, she actually pushes me to try harder, and is stricter towards me. This tough love has helped me to become the person that can lead my team to victory this year in the Hunger Games. I look at my schedule. M homeroom is in the C sector. There are seven sectors, A, B, C, D, E , F and G. Most of the art classes are in C, with Miss Enobaria's Clay Studio in G sector, with the I.T. classes. F sector has the band, orchestra, and choir classes. A and B sectors have your core classes. E sector has Health and FACS classes. D sector has the two gymnasiums, with Mr. Abernathy and Mr. Brutus being the gym teachers.

For my home room, I have Mr. Cinna, the art teacher. In my homeroom is also Katniss, a boy named Peeta Mellark, his friend Delly Cartwright, my younger brother Rory, Peeta's older brother who's my age, Gil, and several other people whose names I do not know. I'm a senior, but we have all four grades in every homeroom. "Hello class. I'm MR. Cinna. I'm here to help you in any way that I can to prepare you for The Hunger Games. The hour block of Homeroom we have is set for training on Fridays. We'll train with Teams 2 and 11. The other days are for watching movies or studying. Also, once a month, we'll be having preliminaries on the Hunger Games, so the scoreboards tell us what we need to improve on."

Normally, I get pretty excited. Since I'm a senior, and my team has never won while I've been alive, the pressure is put extra hard on me to help my team win. This means I'm excited and determined to win. We train with team 2, the usual winners, and team 11, the nice kids. Team 11 should be a pushover, but team 2 is the team to beat. Time to put my game face on.
