So this is my first chapter to my first story so please R&R. If you have any suggethings then feel free to tell me and I will take them into account
Enjoy!
"Katniss" I hear my mother shout "Katniss get up its time for school".
I groan as I roll out of bed and walk to the bathroom, I have not been looking forward to this day at all. Moving from district eight to district twelve did not sound fun to me at all, but now I'm just glad I got away from Gale,his friends and all those painful memories. I shake my head to clear it I'm not thinking about that anymore I remind my self. I open the door and look in the mirror, I look terrible I think to myself. My hair is a tangled mess, my eyes have big dark circles under them and my skin looks greasy and dull."whatever" I mumble as I grab a brush and start to attack my hair I stopped caring what I looked like the day we moved here.
I spend about ten minuets cleaning my self up and picking out my outfit. I settle on the first things I grab, a pair of plain blue jeans and a plain green v-neck. I take one quick look in the mirror grab my black converse and walk down the steps to the kitchen. I'm met by my younger sister Prim siting at the table eating her breakfast. I bid her good morning and start to braid my hair in its signature braid.
"That's all your going to do to your hair" she says "it's your first day of senior year try change it up"
I mumble something under my breath but start to braid it to the side to make her happy. I finish and look at her for approval she smiles and gives me a thumbs up. I can't help but smile when I see her happy that's all I want for her after all she's been threw with this family.
"Where's mom" I ask her I at least half expected her to be her to see us off but at the same time I almost don't want her to. Shes is a nurse at a hospital and is almost never home, after dad died she acted like we didn't even exist anymore.
"She left for the hospital already" Prim says with disappointment in her voice and dropping her head a little.
I can't help but feel sorry for my sister she's almost never really spent time with our mother. Even before my dad died she was always at the hospital leaving me to help my father raise Prim. Then after my father died he left me alone to raise Prim. I feel bad for making Prim sad and try to change the subject off my mother.
"You look beautiful" I tell her with a nudge in the shoulder "plus aren't there volleyball tryouts today"
Her eyes light up at this and starts speaking very fast and enthusiastic, "Yes yes they are and I've been working on my serve all summer I think I might make varsity dont you don't you".
She says all this with out a breath and I laugh lightly and smile, Prim never lost here happy,fighting spirit and love that about her.
"Of course you will now go get your backpack little duck" I say
She giggles and runs off to get here things well I go and grab my things as well. I don't have much I just fill my bag with notebooks and take a muffin for breakfast well I wait for Prim at the door. She sneaks up behind and takes my arm in her hand gently feeling the dark purple bruises left there from less then a month ago.
"Your bruises look better" she says gently then looks up at me with understanding in her eyes
"Thanks" I answer blandly not wanting to bring up painfully memories by thinking of that day. I smile slightly and and kiss her on the top of her head. "Come on " I say "let's get to school I don't want you late for your first day"
She looks at me with concern then smiles and walks out the door. I follow her to the truck heading to my new jail cell of a school. Remeber your goals Katniss I tell my self no getting close to people and make sure no one knows what happened back at district eight. The pain Gale caused in no one else's business just make it threw this year and everything will be ok. I stop the car in front of District twelves high school, Prim jumps from the car and waves good bye. I take a deep breath and subconsciously rub my bruises.I open the car door and step out let senior year begin I think.
So as you can see I'm no Suzanne Collins or J.K. Rowling but it will get better I promise. I'm looking for a Beta so if your interested please PM me. Any please review and tell me if you want me to continue
Thanks,
Lily
