Hey everyone! This is a series of events in Katniss' life that she experienced with Prim. This was created with the help of Innocent Primrose Everdeen, so go check out her stories!
I look outside while I make myself a glass of water. Today is the first day that the children are returning to school since the Rebellion. I go out onto the front porch to watch the little ones make their way to the elementary school. It's an odd assortment of kids from 12, 13, and kids whose parents moved here to help from other districts. I smile as I watch a little boy manage to jump into all the mud puddles left from last night's rain. Then I see two small girls, holding hands, one about five, and the other about ten. They smaller girl is crying; it must be her first day of school. The bigger one bends down and starts talking to her-
Prim is sitting on the bed, shaking like a leaf. "Primmy, what's wrong?" I ask her. She says, "I am scared." "Are you nervous about school, Primmy? You shouldn't be," I say, pulling her into a hug. "You're friend Baley will be there." She buries her face into my shoulder. "I make more friends, right Katniss?" "Of course you will, Prim! You are very friendly," I say. She smiles and says,"You nice too! You make LOTS of friends!" My eyes darken, but only for a moment, before I say, "Maybe. Are you ready? Daddy is going to take us to school on his way to work!" "YAY!" Prim shouts, then tries to put her shoes on backwards. I laugh and help her fix them. Daddy comes in the room and says," Are my two Mockingjays ready to go?" "YES!" Prim shouts, and runs to him. He puts her on his shoulders and Daddy says, "Are you ready for your first day, Little Flower?" I giggle because they look so funny. Prim giggles as Daddy walks out the door. I laugh and grab mine and Prim's lunch pail and head out the door after them. "BYE MOMMY!" I shout on my way out.
The flashback passes and I find myself still on my porch at my house in the Victor's Village. I am breathing heavily, and I see something approach out of the corner of my eye. "Katniss? Are you OK?" He asks. "You look like you've seen a ghost." I nod weakly, then stand to go inside but collapse. He helps me up and into my house. He leads me to the couch and goes to the kitchen, where I can hear him making something. He comes back a few minutes later, but has a cup of tea in his hands. He holds it out. "For you," he says. I take it and we sit in silence. After a while he gets up and goes to the door. "Katniss-" he begins, but then stops. "What?" I say, kind of annoyed. "Nothing. If you need anything, you know where I am." Then he leaves.
I know it's short but it's a bunch of one shot memories building up to a bigger story. Don't hate! Review my lovelies! Feel free to leave suggestions of more memories for Katniss to have!
