HEY GUYS! This be da rewrite ;D Okay I'll talk normally now. So some of the lines are exactly the same but I changed most of it so... I hope it's better this time haha! Please review :)
xXx
"Clothes?"
"Yup!"
"Your um... teddy bear?"
"I don't use that anymore Katniss!" Prim giggles.
"Toothbrush?"
"Yup!"
"I don't know... your stuff?"
"You're really bad at this," she says.
I sigh as I pull mine and Prim's bags along with me. Prim is always so organized. She has to check five times over before she's sure that she has everything. Worse part is she always expects me to remember everything that she packed.
"Hey... why don't you use Snuggles anymore?" I ask.
"Katniss!" she says as her eyes dart around to make sure nobody heard me.
"What are you too old for Snuggles now?" I ask. "Come on, I spent ten bucks on that stupid bear!"
"Sorry but I'd rather have an actual animal... like a cat!" she says.
"Prim we're at a boarding school. You're not gonna have a cat for a while," I point out bluntly.
"I know," she sighs.
I stop when we reach the hallway for kids Prim's age. Twelve... that's the age requirement for living in this hellhole. I lean down and give her a hug before she takes her bags from me.
"Have fun," I say as I put Mother-Mode on. "But not too much fun. And remember to call me."
"I will, Katniss," she sighs before rushing off towards her room.
I continue down the hallway wishing I was as excited as Prim is. But really I hate the idea that I'll be living with one person in one room for one year. One year as in twelve months. Three hundred sixty five days. Okay that's not really true, we do get breaks, but still.
As I walk down the hall my eyes automatically find the two neon colored pieces of paper on each door. There's "Brittany" and "Jessica" in room 210.
Putting the two cliches in one room. Makes sense.
In room 213 I see the names "Annie" and "Johanna" written on pink and green papers. Then right across the hallway is my room. I know because it says "Madge" and "Katniss" on blue and green papers. I take a deep breath... mostly to give myself some time to just turn around, leave, and never come back... but then I open the door. When I walk in, I see a girl my age with blonde hair pulled into a messy bun sitting on the couch. She looks over her shoulder as soon as she hears me come in.
"Hi!" she chirps. "Are you Katniss?"
"Yup," I answer. "Are you Madge?"
"Yes, I'm Madge!" she says as she hops off of the sofa. "So nice to meet you!"
"Thanks," I mumble as she shakes my hand.
"Is this your first year here?"
I nod.
"You're gonna love it!" she says.
Love? School? I don't think so.
"I'm sure I will," I say as I fake a smile.
I walk into our bedroom and put my bag on the bed that she left for me. I shared a room with Prim at home, so I guess this will be fine too. Actually when I really think about it, Madge kinda seems like an older version of Prim. What with the smiley face and the excitement and the happiness...
"Do you wanna meet my friend, Gale?" she asks. "I was just gonna go see his room."
"Uh... sure," I say.
She smiles and takes my hand to pull me with her. That's not gonna fly. I'm gonna have to tell her that I'm not the hand-holding type.
