Hey Guys! This is my first fanfic that I'll be posting. I'm really new to this, and I am VERY poor at grammar and stuff. Also I am not sure what exactly a Beta is, but I'm pretty sure I need one. Chapters will be posted weekly, and they will be short like this one but longer. Please leave suggestions.
The Thrill of it All
5:56am. That is the time that I start my day. As President and CEO of Panem Parks I have to keep a tight schedule. It starts when my alarm goes off; you guessed it, 5:56am. That leaves me four full minutes to lie in bead and clear out any remaining stress from the previous day. Rule number one: never dwell on the past. I never do, and that's how I got to where I am today. I didn't look back when my parents died, when my ex-boyfriend cheated on me, or when my baby sister died. I kept my eyes ahead, and didn't look back. So here I am, Katniss Everdeen, age 23, one of the most successful businesswomen of the 21st Century.
It was now 6:00am. I began my morning routine. It started with getting on the floor and stretching, not only does it wake you up, but it also helps with my scoliosis. I had gotten my spine straightened about ten years ago, just before my 14th birthday. It hasn't slowed me down or anything but it can get kind of stiff, and my scar is pretty embarrassing. That's why I don't have a boyfriend, besides from the fact that I'm always busy. Its 6:15. I head to the shower, not a very long one, but enough to get clean and wash my hair. I don't have much more time in the morning to do anything with my hair so I braid it all to the side of my head. It's 6:50, I am dressed and ready by this point, so I head to the kitchen and grab a quick bite to eat. Today it's an apple and a fiber one bar, but it changes daily.
It is 7:00am, sharp. I am in the car on the way to the office. It's only a few blocks away, but I normally run into Starbucks first. I order a venti skinny vanilla every day. I know it's a lot but hey, it's a pretty busy day coming up. From there I head to the office. It is conveniently located smack in the middle of the park. I have to walk past various coasters and rides everyday. Not like they interest anything or me though, I am at Panem Parks for work, not fun. The day is filled with various papers to sign, calls to make, and meetings to run.
I worked from 7:30am that day until 9:45pm. I'm exhausted but going home I know that instead of sleeping I will be working on next weeks proposal. Sleep is another thing I don't really do. I often find myself lying awake with so many thoughts in my head, or nightmares from my past. But at this point I'm tired, so damn tired. I think my hair is falling out. It isn't until I'm in the bathroom re-applying lipstick, when my secretary, Delly speaks up.
"With all due respect Ms. Everdeen, I don't think just lipstick is going to be enough." What the hell is the talking about? That's a really bold think fir her to say considering I could be firing her on the spot. But she speaks her mind, and I like that.
"Okay Delly, what do you suggest?" she looks at me dead in the eye and thinks for a minute.
"I've got it! You need a co-partner!"
Please Read and Review! xoxo
