The Hunger Games- Secondary School
I woke up to blaring sound of my alarm clock. "Prim! What's with the noise?" Katniss yelled from the up early. We had moved from District 12 to the Capitol because I got a scholarship to Capitol High School, one of the best schools here. Katniss had got in three years ago and she had saved up to buy an apartment close to the school.
I made my bed and turned to the wardrobe. I decided on a plain white t- shirt, a pair of dark skinny jeans and a pair of grey boots. Nice and simple for the first day, not plain but not preppy either. Perfect.
I went into the kitchen and sat on one of the barstools. Katniss was already awake and reading a sports magazine. I grabbed a cereal bar and slowly savoured the taste of it. There were no such things as cereal bars in District 12.
Once I had finished it I asked Katniss if I could come with her to school since was the first day and I didn't know the way there. She agreed and she took me to school. When we were walking to school she told me to avoid the Careers because they were from Districts 1,2 and sometimes 4.
She took me to the gates and told me to have a good day. She left me to join her friends and so I decided to go to the office to get all my stuff I needed for school.
When I got to the office then the lady there gave me all my school books for today and tomorrow and told me bring a friend and come back on Monday to get the rest of my books. As I was walking I crashed into someone.
"I am so sorry!" I cried, bending down to pick up the textbook which had fallen on the floor. But before I could reach it, a pale hand swooped it up. Mumbling my thanks, I looked up in awe and was instantly lost for words. Smiling down at me was a tall, muscular guy with spiky blonde hair which was set into a tuft at the front. His blue eyes, aligned perfectly with the rest of his face, were friendly, unlike the strange looks everyone else seemed to be giving me.
"No prob. By the way, I'm Cato. From District 2. What's your name?"
I felt my face redden to the tip of my ears.
"P, Primrose. E, everyone calls me Prim." I managed to stutter.
"Nice name. Right, I've got to be going now. It was nice to meet you! And oh yeah, good luck on your first year!"
Before I could reply, he walked quickly away. I could not help staring after him, however silly it felt.
