"Katniss! Come down already, your breakfast is getting cold!" said my little sister, Prim. Yes, I am Katniss Everdeen, the girl who no one talks to at school and got bullied for 5 years. This is why today is so important. Today, me and Prim are going to a new high school. Some place I called Panem High.
I ran down the stairs and was greeted by my care worker, Haymitch Aberthany. He's been my care worker ever since I was 10, ever since my mum got caught...
"Hey sweetheart." He said, slurry. I hated that nickname and I hated him more as he was drunk, as always. But when he's sober, he can actually help me. We have had many heart to heart chats about things that mattered. In a freaky and cute way, Haymitch is sort of like a dad to me, although I'd never say that to his face.
"Hey Haymitch" I replied.
"Not excited about your first day?" I nod. "Don't be like that. This is a new experience, enjoy it. Let it take your mind of your mum." Hearing her name made a blood run cold, it made my fists clench together. I could remember her.
"Oh you stupid little girl. It was you, you know, that made your dad die. I wish you were never born!"
"Katniss! Sweetheart! It's me, Haymitch!" What? Oh right, I spun out again. My therapist said I'm getting better, but I'm not convinced.
So we pulled up near our new school. I was staring into the gates of Panem High.
