AN: This is the first chapter of my new Haysilee story. I don't know if I'll continue but if you guys like it I will! I hope you enjoy leave me feedback I accept anonymous reviews too! SORRY ABOUT THE BAD SUMMARY
When I climb under the fence in the morning, I don't expect much just another normal on the outskirts of District 12. I trek across the mountainous terrain until I reach the clearing. The same one my father would take me and my brother Hayden to before he died. I sink down into the warm earth and peel off my shoes and socks and stick my feet into the warm water of the pond. I always liked coming out here. Even as a kid, my father said it was a nice place to escape the hell that is District 12.
"What are you doing out here?"
I turn around and see the voice and smirk slightly. It's a small girl, with golden hair and sky blue eyes. No way in hell she's a Peacekeeper. "It depends what are you doing out here?"
She shrugs her shoulders and steps closer. "Going for a walk, what about you?"
"Thinking." I say flatly. I was never one to make friend, I saw no point in it.
The girl walks right up to me and sinks down next to me. For the first time I notice she's in a soft pink dress. I grimace she must be a merchant's kid. No one in the Seam dresses like this.
"About what?" She asks breezily.
I roll my stormy grey eyes. "Who's this girl in a dress hassling me."
She turns red and looks back down. "Oh, I just heard some kids in school talking about the other side of the fence and I w-wanted to see what it was like."
"It's a world away from District 12." I mumble.
She nods. "It's nice. My sister didn't want to come."
I look her over and look at her face, it's spotted with a few freckles and her blue are framed by thick eyelashes. She's not bad looking, but I ignore that when I remember how annoying she is.
"Who are you anyways?" I ask as I skip a rock.
She sticks out her hand and I shake it. "Maysilee Donner."
I nod, she is a merchant girl. She lives in town and her parents run a shop. She has a twin sister named Marisol. I'm a grade ahead on them.
"Who are you?" she smiles at me.
I shake her hand again. "Haymitch Abernathy."
"So Haymitch how long have you been coming out here?"
"A while." I answer gruffly. "You?"
"This is my first time."
"Oh."
The two of us sit there in silence for a while. I can only take her shuffling and presence for so long before it annoys me. I pull my feet out the water and slip my socks and then my boots back on. I stand up and she immediately pops up next to me. I give a small wave and turn around and start walking way.
"Haymitch?" She sounds almost nervous.
I turn around and glare at her. "What?"
She jumps slightly and rubs her arms. "I know this is asking a lot but I don't know how to get back. Can you take me back?"
I run my hand through my dark hair and groan. "I guess."
She looks relieved. "Thank you."
"You have to keep up." I warn.
Maysilee nods and quickly catches up with me. I quickly take the path I did on the way in and she sighs when she sees the fence.
I point at it. "There it is."
"Thank you Haymitch."
She stops and throws her arms around my neck and hugs me. I go stiff and inhale her scent, she smells like strawberries.
"You done, there sweetheart?" I ask with sarcasm.
Maysilee pulls back and is blushing with embarrassment. "Yeah sorry."
I walk up to the fence and she's right behind and me steps in front of me and sticks her hand out and I quickly throw it down.
"You have to listen for the hum. If it's quiet you can go under if not you have too wait until it stops."
She furrows her eyebrows. "Why?"
"You'll get fried."
Maysilee is silent before ducking under. I follow her and stand next to her.
"Thanks for the help." She says as she touches my arm. "I was beyond lost."
I stare at her and roll my eyes. She smiles way too much. "No problem."
She starts walking in front of me and I stop in front of my house and watch her walk on. She's so happy it makes me sick. She turns around she has yet another grin on her face.
"Thanks Haymicth!" She waves at me. "See you around!"
I wave before I duck into my house. I sigh and put my shoes by the door. I never would've expected that to happen. Not in a million years would I choose to spend a day in the woods with Maysilee Donner.
Oh well I think to myself with an amused smirk on my face. First time for everything
For some reason I can't help but think this isn't the last of my time with Maysilee Donner.
AN: Well this was the first chapter. I don't know yet. What do you think? Should I continue it will get better. Let me know what you think.
