Hey everyone! As it's my birthday I decided to post this new story and I'll try to update again tomorrow. :)
Chapter 1
Katniss Pov
I awake to see my mother burst through the door and open the curtains. "Mum", I moan as a bright light shines through the window. I get no privacy.
"Katniss" she said ripping off my duvet, "time to get up, you have a big day ahead of you". I knew what she meant, a few weeks ago I had applied for the Hunger Games University and last month I was sent a letter of acceptance.
After my mum left I got up, showered and put on a green t-shirt and black trousers. Then I went downstairs and had cereal. On my way upstairs Prim ran out of her room screaming. I stop her and say "Prim, what's the matter".
"I-I thought you left without saying goodbye", she stuttered.
I tell her "Prim I would never do that. C'mon you can help me finish packing" I say leading her toward my room.
After packing I had two suitcases and a backpack. Then we go outside and I say goodbye to my mum and Prim. "Katniss will you come back?" Prim asked.
Kneeling down to hug Prim I whisper "I'll be gone for three years but I'll visit for Christmas and birthdays and I'll always call".
"I'll miss you", she whimpers. "I'll miss you too, goodbye", I reply. Then I kiss her forehead and stand up. I wave goodbye as I climb into the taxi and we pull away. It's a 3 hour drive so I should be there by 2pm. I then ask the driver to turn on the radio and I stare out the window getting lost in my thoughts.
Peeta Pov
"I'm sorry Mr Mellark it seems you grades aren't up to standard".
"What", I yell. "But I was accepted I got A-A* in all my subjects".
"Well I'm sorry but you must be mistaken", he said carelessly while continuing his work "You're being dropped".
I leave feeling miserable and go home explaining myself to my mother . She stares disappointed and begins to rant about everything that shows how useless I am to her. Screaming she grabs a rolling pin and hits me at the back of my head saying, "You're such a disappointment, I hate you!". Then she slams the door leaving me alone outside of my house in the cold.
I awake with a startle to the sound of my neighbours shouting. It's 11 o'clock and I go to my window and look out to see a girl hugging someone who I presume is her little sister. She then waves and gets into the taxi. While watching the woman I remember I'm supposed to be going to my new university. So I shower and change into a brown t-shirt and black trousers. I then grab my luggage -1 suitcase, a duffle bag and a backpack-and walk downstairs for breakfast. I go to the kitchen and make some toast because I'm in a hurry then I say goodbye to my Dad and leave. As I go outside I throw my luggage in the boot of the car and drive off. I leave at 11.20 so hopefully I'll get their by 2.20pm.
