Why me. This stuff always happens to me. No one else my age would be looking after a family and working to help pay the bills. My only light of sunshine is my beautiful sister Prim. Well actually it's Primrose but we all call her Prim. There is one thing about Prim is once you have met her you won't be able not to love her. Sometimes she is the only thing that keeps me going.

When my dad died if it probably weren't for kindness of neighbours and prim we wouldn't be here today. She was the one that kept me going after the horrible car crash. Now I am in grade 12 about to finish. Final are 3 weeks away then last week of school is 2 weeks after.

My entire 2 'friend' and best friend are talking about wanting me to go but I don't want to go to that stupid thing but both of them don't have dates. My mum and sister also want me to go but not even my sister could get me to go. Back to my mums broken wrist. The lady handed me papers to fill out then we could leave and go home.

Once we get home I tuck Prim and my mum in then do homework. I get a text from Gale.

G (Gale): Hey do you want me 2 pick u and Prim up 2morrow.

Me: You know tomorrow is spelt with a to not a 2 and u is spelt like you. Yes please J.

G: Ok so can YOU come to prom

Me: Yes but no I am not going and you spelt you right.

G: Thank you and Please you need to come it will be fun promise. Just remember if you say 'no' Madge will keep asking you until you say yes.

Me: Well you put it that way no. Bye going to bed.

G: you are no fun

Me: I know. Bye

G: Bye

I go have a shower and go to bed. My dream was about this Blond head I could only see his back. We were at prom and when I was about to tap his shoulder I woke up. I got up and got dressed. Today I was wearing tank top that said 'Love isn't Love Until You Have Met the One' and my jeans with love hearts on them. I go down get a banana. Tell my mum to take her meds for her arm and depression. Then grab Prim toast and lunch and then we are out of the door into Gale's sport car. It is so cool.

As I hop in Gale says, "Doesn't someone look fancy today." I role my eye and off we go Prim and Gale are talking to day while I am day dreaming about the blond he looked so familiar it isn't funny. I was doing this until Gale said, "so catnip are you coming to the Prom or do I need to get Madge to keep asking." Prim joins in, "Yeah catnip aren't you going to the prom."

"If I say yes will you guys leave this subject alone."

At the same time the say loudly, "Yes we will"

"Guess I am Going to this stupid thing." The rest of the time they talked about prom wether I just looked at the view like normal. Once we get to school we go our separate ways. Me and Gale walk to our lockers. When I get out of the car like normal all eyes are on me. Boys stare because of my body it is what they would call 'a body made in heaven' and girls glares say 'don't touch Gale he is mine'. Gale is good looking but to me he is a brother not a future boyfriend.

Once I am at my locker Madge come up behind me and say, " So you going to prom."

"Yes."

"Well that's a bummer because…wait did you just say yes. She said yes we have to go dress shopping and shoe shopping and shopping."

"I am going shopping by myself Okay."

"Okay"

Gale butts in and say, "You know by morning tea I bet 5 boys will have asked you because the news is already getting around."

Oh how is was right by morning tea 7 boy have asked me to prom I said no to all of them. I don't even want to go but people think I need a date. Next session I have art I am no good at it but it is way better than having to do drama.

I walk in like I usually do sit in my usual spot. Talk to Madge and when the teacher comes in I shut myself up. The teacher starts the lesson of normally then bam he drops a bomb on us. Not that we have a pop quiz that he gets to choose were we sit. Agh great I am going to end up next to someone that isn't Madge.

He starts saying our bench partner for the rest of the term Delly and Madge, Daruis and Thresh, Cato and Glimmer, Clove and Annie, Finnick and Johanna and me and Peeta. Well least its Peeta it could have been Cato the school douche. Madge moves and goes to sit next to Delly and Peeta starts to walk towards me. He sit down and the teachers says you have 5 minutes to get to know one another.

Peeta turns towards me and starts to talk about something. When I start to listen it is about how he broke Dellys heart for another girl and all that I turn towards him and Say, "Peeta why bother telling me this if it happened 2 weeks ago and we aren't that good of friends."

"Because I want to be friends Katniss and I have wanted to be friends for a while."

I am shocked by this. Well it is Peeta I might as well give him a chance at being my friend. So we can study this afternoon together. "Really why didn't you say something. Do you want to study for the art project we have to do together."

"How did yo –"I pointed to the teacher and sure enough the teacher started to talk about how we have to choose a topic and create 3 art pieces about that topic. I face him and say, "We should do ours about the kids in Uganda and about how they are starving, environment they live in and how they want education."

"Great Idea Katniss. Let's do it."

I hope you guys liked it 1 review for another Chapter and in your spear time search up Uganda. Hope you like it.
