Haiiii! I'm making a new story...I will still be continuing my other stories but until I get out of my writer's block, then I'll be writing this new one! So...I don't really know but an idea popped into my head. I'm not sure if it's original or not but yeah...
Modern Day and maybe OOC characters. It's about Cato and Katniss. Katniss goes to her first year of Capitol University, the college of her dreams. But will someone from her past return and make it unbearable? It has been about 2 years since Katniss has talked to Cato Greene, her best friend since 13 and boyfriend at 15 until Cato rudely dumped her for the school's slut Glimmer Glitterwax in the 11th grade. Will Katniss fall for Cato again?
This chapter does not have Cato yet. Until the next chapter. :)
Disclaimer: I do not own the hunger games. Derp. :-]
"Katniss! Hurry up or you'll be late for the train!" Katniss's fourteen year old sister yell up the stairs.
"Almost finished!" Katniss yelled back while shoving her outfits into the suitcase. Today the eighteen year old is going to be attending Capitol University in California, the best college there is in the country where all the students with the highest potential gets to attend, but rich or not you need a scholarship. Katniss was anxious and nervous because this was the college of her dreams and she, the lucky one got picked to attend.
Her father had also received a scholarship to attend this college at her age. He was at the top of his class and got to graduate early. After he graduated, he became something called an astronaut that went into space. But something tragic happened that caused her to have nightmares every night. (A/N: Will be explained in future chapters)
Katniss ran down the staircases as quick as her long legs could carry her all the way to Prim.
"Aw Prim I'll miss you." Katniss pulled her sister into a tight lasting hug.
"I'll miss you too Katniss but I can take care of myself. I'm fourteen for godsakes. " Prim giggled and pulled away.
"Okay tell mom I love her. I'll see you in a few months." Katniss said with a sad smile. She's excited to go to the university but she would miss her sister dearly. Katniss kissed Prim's forehead and started to sprint towards the door but Prim quickly stopped her.
"Wait Katniss! Take this to remember me." Prim placed a gold mockingjay pin into Katniss's hand. This pin is made of pure gold, not fake or copper, but pure and it made Katniss wonder how she afforded it.
As if Prim was reading her mind she said "Greasy Sae gave it to me! Now go!" Prim practically pushes her sister to the door.
As Effie Katniss's escort to the school, ushered her into the train Katniss couldn't help but admire the whole room. She escpecially loved the fancy crystal chandeliers that hung above the polished mahogany tables.
There were also a few other people from Georgia who are going to the university with her. She recongnized some of her friends, they were Madge, Gale, Peeta, Johanna, Clove, Finnick and Annie. She walked over to Clove and put her hands over her eyes.
Clove took out the knife she hid in her boots instantly. "Whoever is covering my eyes you better let go or you will get a knife in the chest." she hissed while the others sniggered.
"Chill Clove. It's Katniss!" Katniss's hands left Clove's eyes.
"Katniss!" Clove yelled in surprise.
"Katnisssssss!" Madge pulled Katniss into a tight hug.
"Catnip!" Gale greeted
"Kit Kat!" Finnick embraced her and gave Katniss a squeeze.
"Candy!" Peeta waved (Kit Kat is a candy)
"So all I get of a greeting is pet names?" She cross her arms over her chest.
"Katniss! How are you!" Annie squeezed her cheeks and after she let go Katniss rubbed her numb cheeks.
"See! That's a greeting." Katniss smiled warmly at Annie. Annie was a very nice girl that sometimes isn't very stable but they still love her.
"Guess what!" Annie squealed excitedly. It's very usual to see Annie cheerful and jumpy everyday.
Katniss arched an eyebrow at Annie, curious to what she's happy about today.
"I'm going to the same college as you guys! Isn't that great?" Annie exclaimed. Johanna rolled her eyes at the obvious. This train only had one destination. To Capitol University and if you're on it, it means you are attending the school.
"Oh and Katniss!" Annie whispered while pulling Katniss to a dark corner.
"Yes Annie?"
Annie grinned before saying, "I think Finnick likes you!"
"What?" Katniss became flustered. There was no way Finnick Odair, thee Finnick Odair liked Katniss Everdeen. There were millions of other girls who he could pick.
"You heard me." Annie smirked
"You think." She replied casually
"He told me before we went on this train that he couldn't wait to see YOU and his friends." Annie jumped out and down. "He likes you!" With that she left a gaping Katniss to go back to her friends.
Katniss doubted Finnick likes her. No way. They're only friends.
When they arrived at the university, Katniss and the girls went to the front desk for dorm keys. They found out that Katniss would be rooming with Johanna, Clove with Madge and Annie with a girl named Delly who is also Peeta's best friend. Did they not see her on the train? She's usually bubbly when she see's her friends, like Annie. Maybe they'd get along.
"So who's your dorm mate?" Clove asked the boys.
"I got the baker." Finnick nudged Peeta.
"I got a person named Cato Greene." Gale said in a bored tone.
Did he just say Cato? My eyes widen in fear and so do all my other friends except for Gale who doesn't know who he is. Cato goes to this school? No. That's not possible because Cato used to be the stupidest person in high school. He couldn't have been accepted. No.
If I happen to run into him while going to this university then I'll lose it. I hate Cato. I hate him. I used to think we were friends but that was over a long time ago.
"Who's Cato and why are your eyes so big?" Gale asked confused.
My friends all look at me to see if I would tell Gale. I sigh before reluctantly telling him the whole story.
"Cato Greene was well...used to be my bestfriend and boyfriend. Best friend since 13 and boyfriend since 15 until Cato dumped me rudely in the 11th grade for the school's whore Glimmer Glitterwax. "
Gale scoffs. "He dumped you for a girl named Glimmer Glitterwax?"
I nod and continue. "You know why it's so rude? When he dumped me he said 'Look babe I'm dumping you cause I found someone else who's hotter and better than you. You're just a loser and the only reason I was ever your best friend and boyfriend because I saw how desperate you were and I said what the hell, some charity wouldn't hurt.' And the he told me to get out of his face. They even made out right in front of my face for proof! You know what made me hurt even more? He had a bored careless expression on his face and when I started to cry, he smirked at me! I was so stupid for ever falling for him. But that was also the same moment I became friends with these people." I smile at my friends while trying to keep in my tears. Finnick steps foward to wipe away the ones that got away. Thank you, I mouthed. He nodded at me.
"What a bastard. I can't wait to room with him to kick his ass." Gale growled.
I laugh lightly at his protectiveness. "I hope you do."
"I'm serious." Gale grinned.
Then everyone started laughing and Finnick drapped his arm around my shoulders in a friendly way.
But it died down afterwards when we saw him. Finnick tightened his grip on my shoulders.
It's him. The heartbreaker. That Bastard Cato.
Is this a good idea? Should I continue?
I'll explain about Kat's dad in future chapters.
