Chapter 1
My first fanfic yay! Since it's my first and I have a lot of schoolwork I may take a bit long to update. Also I did not plan how long I want my chapters to be so there might be just short and long mixed together… we'll see. By the way this will probably be switching POVs. This chapter is dedicated to JesssMelark!
Prim POV:
I skipped along the path to Hillside High School (it used to be D-12 High School, but I always call it it's new name to not bring back memories from The Hunger Games or The Rebellion) Katniss had promised one day I could wear her communion shoes that she had saved in a box. They were very expensive, but yet even today my first day of school, she lets me wear them. I am wearing a light blue short-sleeve button-down shirt with a buttercup flower pin, a small light grey skirt, and Katniss' expensive white Mary Janes. My hair is in two pretty waterfall braids, courtesy of my mother. My small knapsack is actually tons of fabric scraps that Gale's mother, Hazel, has very kindly sewn together in exchange for only 6oz of Lady's goat cheese. I am positively sure I will make new friends, but I still have painful thoughts of the last time I went to school, and not only because of The Hunger Games.
Katniss POV:
I am worried about Prim. In Junior High things were bad for her, in High School it will get worse. She disagrees. She says High School is a new beginning, a new hope. Although she wasn't bullied in Junior, I feel as if bullies will find her an easy target-she will never fight back. See Prim doesn't have the big three-anger, sadness, and happiness. Yeah she has sadness and happiness, but she never gets angry. Okay she does, but she handles it in a totally different way. She handles it as if she was a meditation guru. She kneels, prays, stands, breathes deeply, and asks for peace among herself and whoever got her angry; Which gives just more reason for people to bully her. I can just imagine her running home crying non-stop every single day, maybe joining a group of Goths eventually. I wouldn't be able to stand that. The minute she says bully I am going to do something, something BIG.
Yeah, this was a really short chapter. I am kind of down on inspiration, so anything helps. Especially reviews! So I think I may want a Beta, but I am not sure. PM me if you think you might want to be my Beta, or PM for pretty much anything. Constructive criticism is fine, too!
