A/N this is my first one so please be nice! Reviews are nice too, criticise if necessary. :)
Set in a more modern time, I brought back some of the dead, you'll see soon ;).
Sadly I do not own THG, that master piece was created by the wonderful Susanne Collins.
~PEETA POV~
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP
I groan; it can't be time already can it? I check the time on my clock, yup, it is 5:45, time to wake up. I trudge into the bathroom where I have a quick shower and get changed. Since I'm only doing a shift at the bakery and can get ready for school later, I just throw on some grey track suit bottoms and a pale blue wife beater (vest). I make my way down to the bakery and start kneading the dough straight away, two batches of cinnamon buns and one batch of cheese buns. The sooner I'm at school the better, Finnick and I have major catching up to do, I haven't seen him since two weeks into summer when he went away to celebrate his cousin's birthday or something, all I knew is that when the Odair's have a party, you never forget it.
I finished kneading the dough, put it in a cooking tin and shoved it in the oven. After I iced the cupcakes and had some toast I went back upstairs to get changed. Since it is the first day of high school I want to make a good impression, especially because my brothers left a legacy, typical jocks and massive douches. I don't want that to be me though, I'm the odd one out in my family (not including my dad), that's what my mother said anyway, she thinks I'm weak, dim and disgusting, she was hoping for a daughter and got me, she wasn't best pleased so she left my father when I was 3. I'm 17 now and I haven't heard from her since, except the annual phone call during the winter holidays, but that doesn't really count.
After some consideration over my outfit, I settle for a faded orange V-necked muscle shirt and black skinny jeans. I yell to my dad and tell him I'm leaving, he replies with a simple goodbye and something about not forgetting not to come back here tonight, I walk out the door. Oh yeah, dad and I have stayed in the apartment above the bakery for the past week because the pool needed a repair and some guy burst a pipe, last night was the last night. I jump in my super-awesome-because-its-dark-blue-and-roofless car and drive to school.
~KATNISS POV~
"Katniss, sweetie, you have to get up now, big, big, big day today!" the shrill yet caring voice of my aunt Effie fills my ears. I let out a groan and tell her to give me five more minutes.
"Katniss if you don't wake up now you'll be late and hate us even more than you do now." My mother chimes in, chuckling at my attitude towards the day, I death stare her. I then hear a small giggle and then feel something land on me, Prim. Prim is my little sister, she's 13 but still likes to wake me up on big occasions, like the first day at a new school.
"Mother, Effie," I pause and make space for Prim next to me in the bed. "Prim, thank you very much for waking me up this morning in such a lovely way but I have to shower now so could you please evacuate my bedroom?" They all laugh at how polite I was and then leave. I drag myself out of bed, into the bathroom and have a shower. I turn the radio on and one of my favourite songs starts to play, I sing along until the second verse and then get out of the shower.
After 15 minutes of deciding what to wear I go for a navy blue over-sized sweater with an anchor on it, a white tank top, grey leggings and brown ankle boots. I walk downstairs for breakfast and say good morning to my uncle Haymitch.
Haymitch is my mother's brother and is incredibly rich, making me and my family incredibly rich. We moved in with him around four days ago, I finished unpacking yesterday. We moved because Haymitch asked us to, he paid for everything, I reckon him and Effie we're getting lonely.
"Morning, sweetheart" Haymitch calls out from somewhere in the direction of the hot tub. "How did you sleep?" he asked, his smile coming through in his voice.
"I slept in my bed of course, you?" A smile playing on my lips, we acquired this routine after the first time we came to stay over here. I shove some toast in my mouth and follow the sound of his voice; he was in fact in the hot tub, with a small tray floating above him on the water, carrying his breakfast.
"How are you getting to school today Kat?" he asked, still smiling.
"I was just going to walk, it isn't too far, right?" I replied, not thinking much of what he just asked.
"Well how about you take the keys for the green car and drive instead?" he says in all seriousness.
"I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!" I yell, I kiss him on the forehead and run down to the garage, get in the car, and drive to school.
-x- TIME PASSING -x-
I stepped out of the car, locked it and walked into school, I take a deep breath, here goes. As I walk in to reception I see I blonde guy, around my age walk in the other door to reception. I get my schedule and turn to find my locker. Instead of walking straight forward into the corridor I slam into a wall. Except it wasn't a wall. It was a person.
