A/N: So, this is my fist fanfic and I'm very excited! This is one of the stories where the Games are a high school. It's not an original idea but it's an original plot compared to the rest. Please review and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh and hope you don't mind that some characters did not die or abandon Katniss like in the story and the fact that there are no games and she doesn't have to provide for her family lets her live a bit. She's not fearing her or her sisters life so that's why she's more open.
Katniss POV
"Be safe sweetie" My mom calls while I give her and my sister, Prim one last embrace before I board a plane to my new school.
"I will, you know that. I'll miss you guys so much, I love you. I'll call every chance I get but I'll be really busy the first few days." That's what you get for switching schools mid-year, right?
"Ladies and Gentleman, plane 12 in ready to depart please give you tickets to the lady on my left." A strong female voice calls for me.
"Bye, love you" The three of us say in sync, which coaxes a small smile out for them before I turn and leave.
It was so hard to convince my mom to let me leave for this school and even harder for Prim to except it, but they realize how hard I want to make a name for myself. My teacher, Mrs. Carillion recommended me to this school and when my information was sent in they offered to pay for everything. They wanted me. Badly. They sent baskets and letters to my mother begging her to let me go. Eventually she gave in and here I am in first-class, off to one of the best schools in the nation. _
Finally I'm off the plane and on a private car the school sent for my highly anticipated arrival. Wow, they really want me, don't they?
"You're quite the talk of the school board." Says the husky voice driving me.
"I hope that's a good thing. I'm Katniss, you?" Of course it's a good thing.
"Paul. And of course it's a good thing" He answers echoing my thoughts.
"Well, Paul to be honest for the last week this school was all I could think about,"
"Well I hope your not disappointed." He says pulling into the school.
"Wow" I'm at a loss of words the school it's…beautiful. It has the architecture and furnishing of the…eightieth century? It's so old but at the same time it looks so new.
"Welcome to The Capitol Prep, I will escort you to your room then the Dean would like to speak to you about this transition," Says Paul
"Uh, Sure… thanks"__
"Oh! Hi, You must be Katniss! I'm Madge! You're gonna love it here. I promise! And you need, you just come to me." The blonde hair, blue eyed girl in my room squeaks.
"Uh, Hi Madge. It's nice to meet you and thanks. I'll make sure I go to you so…we're sharing a room…this is gonna be fun" Hopefully she didn't note my sarcasm on that last part.
"Yeah isn't it! So I'll let you get settled and then I guess you have to go talk to Mr. Potter. But when you come back we can talk!" I guess she didn't.
