Hey Guys I've been thinking about this idea for a while now :)

I'm sorry for any mistakes.
Please Read & Review... ENJOY!
My alarm went off at 5 am. Normally I would hit the snooze button and turn back into my pillow. But today was different; today is the day I go to Rome. I got up and shuffled my way into the bathroom. I took off my clothes and got in the shower. Once I was done I went to my closet and threw on some travel clothes. I put on some leggings and an oversized lime green t-shirt. I then began to braid my hair to the side.
My name is Katniss Everdeen; I'm 16 years old. I have a 12 year old sister prim who's at sleep away camp. I love her to death. I am originally from District 12, but we moved to district 4 when I was 6, because my mom got a promotion up here. I like District 4 I've made decent enough friends, and the weather is nice majority of the time. I'm going to Italy because my grandma Effie is on the board of some fashion company. The Pope is going to bless their newest line "Capitol Couture" which is a big, big deal. I'm not positive if this trip will be fun or not though. Because I've never been away from Prim for so long, yes, she is at sleep away camp but I wont be there when she gets home. I also don't if I can last 15 days with Haymitch and Effie. I mean, I love them and all, but we sometimes but heads. Sometimes I forget why I had even said yes in the first place, but no turning back now.
I had just eaten a granola bar, when I heard a knock on the door. I was my Grandparents. "Hi Effie, Hi Haymitch" I said. Handing Haymitch my bags. "Mornin' sweetheart." He grumbled, walking towards the car with my bags. "Oh, Katniss! I love the look, it's so…casual!" she said excitedly. She too looked casual. Well, as casual Effie could get. She was wearing a yellow maxi dress with wedges. Her yellow dress matched her hair, her hair wasn't blonde, it was indeed, yellow. "I have the itinerary mapped out with all events and dress requirements." She said handing me a stack of paper that was as thick as a novel. I smiled at her as I stuck in my headphones. By the time we had arrived at the airport it was 7:00 and the airport was in full swing. While Haymitch was checking in our bags, and Effie was redoing her makeup in the bathroom, I took the opportunity to finish off the half empty bottle of water in my carry-on before I got to security. By the time I had finished my water they were both ready to go. I was happy beyond belief that the business class line was much shorter than the regular one. We were easily able to get through security. While Haymitch and Effie were at the gate I took the time to go to the bathroom before our first flight. On the way back to the gate I headed grabbed a hot chocolate from Starbucks. I walked back over and sat in between Haymitch and Effie, "How many planes to he have to get on before we get there?" I asked Haymitch. "Just two. The first is to District 12, and then from there we fly to Rome" Haymitch says not looking up from his iPad. "But, if you had bothered to read my itinerary you would have known that." Effie says looking up from her Capitol Couture magazine "and you might want to slow up on the hot chocolates, you won't be 16 forever" she adds on. I scroll through my phone to see if I have any new messages. Just one from my mom I see you left. Have fun. I quickly type thanks before our gate had been called. We board the plane very quickly. The flight was really short, probably because I managed to sleep the whole way.
We had grabbed some breakfast at one of the District 12 airport dinners. Effie had an omelet, Haymitch had 3 eggs over hard, and I had pancakes. By the time we had finished. It was almost time to board. Before we hear "Effie!" we turn our head to see a blonde woman walking towards us. "Kathy! Darling, it has been ages since I've saw you last! Who knew we would be on the same flight, did you bring your family?" she says kissing her on both cheeks. "Yes I did!" she says motioning at them to come say hello. "This is my husband Haymitch, and granddaughter Katniss!" she says excitedly. I smile at the other family. The older man shook my hand; "I'm Mark Mellark, Kathy's husband, and this is our son, Peeta" I look over to see a boy who looks to be my age. He's wearing jeans and light purple polo; he has blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He smiles shakes my hand "Nice to meet you Katniss" I smile "Nice to meet you too" is all I can say. I most certainty nice to meet Peeta Mellark, maybe this trip won't be as bad as I thought.
Sorry its so short! The chapters will be longer, as the story goes on R&R!
