Chapter 1

A new addition to the family

The last of my things where packed, I was all ready, ready for my new life at college. I was starting Panem College and I was really excited, only thing was I was going to miss my mother, father and sister Prim.

My mum came up, "you all ready Katniss?" she asked me, mum was amazing, she had mid length blonde hair and she always dressed in her nurse uniform, she worked at the District 12 hospital, my dad walked in not long after, dad was amazing as well, " oh I remember when you were a little baby, he then brought a pair of red socks out his pocket, "oh no dad, not them socks" I replied, I had this pair of red socks that people used to love me in when I was a baby, "just wait Katniss, when you bring a boyfriend home from college, I will show him your red socks" dad replied laughing, I always imagined Prim got my dad's personality as she was always the one to crack a joke, I on the other hand got my dad's looks with the dark brown hair and the grey eyes.

"look I am not going to college to find a boyfriend, I am going to study, boys are the last thing on my mind" I replied, mum and dad laughed, "we will see Miss Everdeen, you will meet a lovely boy, I said that and I met your dad a few days later" mum replied, oh my god I can't believe we were having this conversation, I picked up my bags and took them downstairs, I wasn't leaving till the morning but least they were all ready, mum, dad and Prim were driving me there, we were all going for one final family meal tonight to my favourite place ever Chubby Cheese, okay so I was a right kid when it came to that place, my favourite was a whole cheese pizza with a Chocolate milkshake, and it was our last eat out together till I came back for the week break.

I went in to see Prim, she had her friend Rue around, Rue was a tiny little girl with tanned skin and dark wavy hair, she reminded me a lot of Prim, "we are going to miss you Katniss" Rue said running over to me and giving me a hug, I loved Rue like she was my own sister, her and Prim had been friends since I can remember, she had an older brother named Thresh but we never really spoke, he was the kind of guy you wouldn't want to mess with, him and my best friend Gale got into a disagreement once and it was not a pretty sight.

Oh I forgot to mention my best friend Gale, he is a Tall muscular pretty boy, he has brown hair and is quite tanned, and he got a lot of attention from the girls, am I interested in him? No way he is my best friend and that is all he will ever be to me, he was also coming with us tonight, we were not going to the same college which I was pretty upset about but we vowed that we will always be best friends no matter what, he was going to the one in district 2 but we would see each other in the breaks.

"can Rue come tonight? She wants to eat with you one last time" Prim asked, "I am not going to my death you know, I am only going to college, I will be back in the holidays" I laughed tugging on her two braids, "I know but Halloween is so far away, how will I get by without my big sister?" she replied cuddling into me, "well just think you are going to the big school, you are a big girl now as well" I replied, "I am scared though, what if I don't fit in? I am not as pretty as you" she said looking down, "Prim you are pretty, and I bet you have a boyfriend by the time I get back" I said I chuckled, she then started to turn a shade of pink, "oh wait don't you have a crush on Rory?" Rue said as she started giggling, "no of course not" Prim replied but I couldn't help but notice she was getting pretty embarrassed, Rory was Gale's brother, he was the same age as Prim, and he was just a mini version of Gale, she had liked him for as long as I could remember, she was growing up so fast she just didn't realise it.

"so little duck, well my big duck, I am going to nip out, I have a surprise for you that I am going to collect from a friend of mine, so I will be right back, okay" I said to her, "okay, promise you are not saying that just to leave for college now?" Prim asked, "of course not, you will see" I replied to her, I quickly ran downstairs and grabbed my jacket; I left the house and went off to meet Gale. Prim was quite upset as she had recently lost her cat buttercup, I was off to get her a puppy, she had wanted a puppy for a while, Gale knew someone called sae who had a mongrel dog which had just given birth to puppies, and we were on our way to pick one up.

I saw Gale and ran over to him, "hey catnip, well I guess after today this is it" Gale said, "you all talk like I am going to my death or something" I replied laughing, "yeah but you are, I mean Katniss Everdeen going to college, that is a death sentence" Gale replied, I smacked his arm softly, "and what is that supposed to mean?" I asked, "well come on, you are not the most sociable, I can really imagine you at the College party's and stuff like that" Gale replied to me chuckling, "I am not that bad, besides you go to college to learn" I replied, "yeah, but there is a thing called a social life as well, and believe me you will get a lot of that" he said, "maybe I will but study's come first" I replied, I nicked a berry off him, "you are such a geek catnip" Gale laughed.

We got to Sae's there were four little scruffy bundles of fur in a box on the ground, they are all males, one caught my eye in particular, he was all black with a little white bit on his eye, I picked him up, and he immediately licked my face, he was so cute, "this is the one" I said, Sae smiled and we took him back to my house.

We Arrived back, me and Gale smiled at each other, I tucked the puppy inside my jacket with only it's little nose poking out, "Prim, come down here, I have a surprise for you" I shouted up, "coming" she shouted back, next minute I saw her running down, "what is it Katniss,have you decided not to go to college?" she asked with a smile on her face, "no not exactly, but I have someone who needs looking after while I am away" I replied, I unzipped my jacket and pulled out a liitle ball of fluff, I swear if Prim's eyes had lit up anymore she would of lit the whole room, "oh my god, a puppy, I love him, I love him" she said excitedly, she held the tiny little body close to her, "he is a boy so you can name him whatever you want" I said to her, "I want to call him Patch, because of his white eye" Prim replied, I loved seeing my little sister happy, I was going to miss her so much when I am away at College.
