A/N: Hello, readers! This is my very first fic and I would appreciate if you review this story. I don't know how long I plan on making this but I do know that I'll try to update every day or every other day. Well, enjoy!
"Katniss Rose Everdeen! Get out of that bed right now!" Prim hollered to her older sister upstairs.
"For Pete's sake, Prim! I'm coming!" She yelled back.
"Hurry or you'll miss the bus!"
"What?!" Katniss glanced at her clock. 6:55, five minutes until the bus comes. How did that happen? She wondered.
She didn't have anymore time to think. There was only one thought on her mind: Hurry up. She scrambled out of bed, pulling on the clothes from the floor and ran to the bathroom. She brushed her hair and teeth, raced downstairs, grabbed a piece of toast, and ran outside. "Bye, mom! Bye, dad! Love you!"
The bus was just pulling up when she closed the door.
"What took you so long?" Prim asked.
"Nothing to concern yourself with, Little Duck." Prim glared at her sister. She hated that name because she wasn't little anymore.
"I'm in ninth grade. I'm not little anymore." She replied, echoing Katniss' thoughts.
"I know." Katniss said with a sigh. Then they both climbed onto the bus that would lead them to school.
"Here!"
"Clover Fuhrman?" Mr. Abernathy asked as he went down the attendance list.
"The one and only." She said with a smirk.
"Yeah, yeah. Katniss Everdeen?"
No answer. He looked around the classroom, but wasn't surprised to not see her in her seat near the back.
"Katniss Everdeen?"
Just then, an out-of-breath Katniss entered the classroom.
"Here." She said, panting, and took her seat. She felt uncomfortable, but she had a reason: Peeta Mellark's beautiful crystal blue eyes were watching her. Why does he always do that?
"Great. Uh, Finnick Odair?"
"Present!"
"Gale Hawthorne?"
"Heerre!" He said, drawing it out.
"And... Peeta Mellark?"
"I'm here!" He replied, looking up from his paper. There appeared to be a drawing on it, but Katniss couldn't tell from where she sat in the back.
"Perfect. Now, do whatever you want. Just don't bother me."
It didn't matter, everyone was already on their phones before he could finish.
"Hey, what are you doing'?" One of Katniss' only friends, Madge Undersee, questioned over her shoulder.
Trying to read. Katniss thought. "Nothing, you?"
"Well,..." Great, she has a story. Katniss tried to look interested in what Madge was saying, but that's the problem. She wasn't saying anything. She looked like she wanted to say something, but she wasn't.
"Spit it out, Madge. You're never this nervous." She said, getting irritated by her friend's unusual silence.
Madge took a deep breath, stared down at her hands, and then the words spilled out as fast as lightning.
"Gale asked me out to the movies next weekend and wanted to see if you want to come." Her words were all jumbled together and almost inaudible to anyone not paying attention. Katniss, though, heard them as if Madge had yelled them in her ear.
"What?!" She whisper/shouted.
"You heard me. Well, what do you think?"
"What do I think? I think you're out of your mind is what I think! You know I can't stand any of those boys!" Has she gone completely insane?!
"No, you can't stand Finnick and Gale. But I think you like Peeta, and you'd look so cute together!" She said with a smile. "Please, please, please come!"
"No way, Madge. It's not going to happen!" She said. Madge gave Katniss he puppy dog eyes and kept pleading until Katniss finally said, "Fine."
"Yes! Oh, thank you! You won't regret it, promise! But, as soon as school's out were going shopping."
"What?! You said it was just a movie! Why do I need to go shopping?!"
"Oops! I meant dinner and a movie. Sorry." All Katniss could do was glare at her until the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Madge grabbed Katniss' wrist, pulled her out of the classroom, and to her car.
