Hi everyone! So this is a new story I'm writing and it's a modern day version where the Hunger Games go to high school! They're all juniors. Throughout the story I will be focusing on numerous point of views.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games.
Chapter 1:
KPOV:
Hi my name is Katniss Everdeen. I'm 16 years old and I go to Panem High school. I'm an only child and live with my Dad and Mum. I have a good group of friends but you'll meet them later. Today is the first day back at Panem High. I'm a junior now which leads to many new privileges. For example: We can ride our cars to school, we can sit in the cafeteria and most importantly we get free periods! Just think 2 whole hours 3 times a week my friends and I can stare at the 'it' boys.
"Hey honey, it's time to come downstairs. We have a special breakfast waiting for you." Dad tells me. I love my Dad and Mum so much! My mother is a doctor and my father is a lawyer; there both the best you can get. They get paid lots of money hence why we live in a mansion and I get a whole floor to myself!
"I'll be down in a few minutes." I reply back to Dad. I quickly make my bed and take a shower. I put my hair in a high ponytail and put a white and blue ribbon in my hair (I just got the position of the head cheerleader so it's tradition for the head cheerleader to have the ribbon in her hair). I then change into a white floral dress that hangs just above the knees and needs a white camisole underneath. I grab my bag I packed yesterday and sprinted down the stairs and into the kitchen where the folks sat and I sat in the middle of them and started shovelling down my bacon and eggs.
"So Katniss, excited for your first day back?" Mum asked me.
"Yeah Ma. Can't wait to see my friends." It's true. This summer we went to Brisbane Australia. It was so cool visiting south bank. And Brisbane was so beautiful I made some good friends there. Dad and Mum keep on glancing at each other and I ask
"Is there something that I should know about?" I ask.
"Well as a congratulations on getting head cheerleader, we got you these." Dad hands something metallic to me and Mum covers my eyes while leading me out the door. Mum pry's her hands off my eyes and I stand there shocked. My parents have bought me a red, shiny new sports car!
"OH MY GOD! Thank you so much!" I say hugging Mum and Dad.
"That's alright sweetie. Now hurry up if you want to socialise with your friends." I'm not exaggerating when I say my parents are the best! They don't ground me and understand modern day society (unlike most parents). I toss my bag in the passenger seat and jump into the driver's seat and race down to school. A 5 minute drive and I'm at school. My eyes immediately spot a group of girls (10 of them to be exact) I get out of the car door and all of their heads turn around.
"KATNISS!" They all scream running towards me. The first one to get to me and pull me into a hug is Clove. She's small and has long brown hair (that's in a fish braid); Everyone follows after her; Glimmer, Cashmere, Annie, Foxface, Johanna, Madge, Rue and Prim. Let me describe them for you: Glimmer is tall and has strawberry blond hair and gorgeous green eyes, Cashmere has platinum blond hair and chocolate brown eyes, Annie has chestnut red hair and deep sea green eyes, Foxface (no-one knows her real name) has fiery red hair and amber eyes, Madge are she has blond hair and crystal blue eyes, Johanna had short brown hair in a boyish cut but had the most beautiful brown eyes ever, Rue had curled black hair and rich brown eyes and finally Prim, she's a beauty; straight blond hair and blue eyes as deep as the sea. We were all different but excelled in something. Glimmer, Clove, Cashmere and I were cheerleaders; Annie was on the swim team; Johanna and Foxface were in the track team; Madge was a musician; Rue was a dancer (I was a secret dancer, no-one knows) and Prim is a going to be a doctor. After I gave them the 410 on my Australian trip we talked about our little interests. Glim, Clo, Cash and I were talking about who would be the new head when I lowered my head so they could see the ribbon on my head. They saw it and told all of our group. We started jumping and hugging.
"That means that today at lunch you have to change into you cheerleading outfit so everyone knows you're the head." Clove tells me excitedly. Another tradition, this one I didn't know if I wanted to show. Normally the head is a snob but I don't want to be. While we are talking some more about cheerleading and the advantaged of me being head cheerleader when we heard a car and saw a yellow sports car park next to mine; then, they came in. The 'it' boys; they are the most popular and hottest boys in the school. There's Peeta, Gale, Cato, Marvel, Gloss, Thresh, Rory, Vick, Brutus and Haymitch .
"And here they enter." I mumble to myself.
"Gale looks fit." Madge starts.
"Finnick's looking damn sexy." Annie says licking her lips.
"Marvel is hot!" Glimmer says.
"Give me a piece of Cato!" Clove sighs.
"Haymitch has definitely taken a piece of my heart." Johanna winks.
"Vick has worked out and is looking sexier than ever!" Foxface adds in.
"Thresh is so kind and caring. Oh and hot." Rue blushes.
"And Rory, oh I wish he noticed me." Prim sighs.
They never take their eyes off them. I only had eyes for Peeta Mellark though. He's slightly taller than me. Has ashen blond hair and beautiful blue eyes that I could get lost into for eternity. But I don't like him for that! He's so nice and accepting, he always put others before him and he's great with children and he's the head of the wrestling team! But who a am I kidding? He would never like me ever. I just have to accept that. We all do.
"Come on guys! We need to get our lockers and our timetable." Another advantage of being a junior. We get the top lockers. We head the front office passing the 'it' boys (I don't look but my group does and giggle). We (well should I say I. The girls are probably staring at the boys) get to the front office and the secretary smile at me.
"Katniss! How was your summer?"
"Great thank you. Can I please get my locker and my schedule?
"Why certainly! And good job on getting head cheerleader. I bet your mother was so proud of you." The secretary hands me over 2 pieces of paper.
"Thanks and she was." I leave and find that the girls are flirting with the boys. I roll my eyes and head off to the school entrance. My locker is 322; I look for the lockers and finally find 322. I look at it and realise that this is the locker to have. It's reserved for the head cheerleader and you get a full locker (not one you have to share). I open it and put my books in my locker and then check my schedule.
Monday:
Home Room- C5
Period 1-PE
Period 2- Maths
Period 3-Home Economics
Period 4- Lunch
Period 5- Free
Period 6- Study
I get my stuff for PE and close my locker and head over to C5 (which incidentally happens to be near my locker. I go out the back entrance and head over to the girls (who are still flirting with the boys while Peeta is looking awkward by himself).
"Hey girls, unless you want a detention from Ms Trinkett you better get you asses to the front office. I guess same goes for you guys." I say. They all head over to the front office except for one, Peeta.
"Guessing you've already got your stuff." Peeta says.
"Yeah you?" I reply
"Yep. I got homeroom in C5 and then PE."
"Same!" I exclaim.
"Cool. So what locker did you get?" Peeta asks me.
"I got 322. You?"
"459. Hey isn't 322 for the head cheerleader?"
"Yeah."
"Hang on! You've got the blue and white ribbon in your hair! Katniss you're head cheerleader?"
"Yes." I reply sheepishly.
"That's great! You deserved it! Come on. Let's find my locker." Peeta says.
"Ok." We walk around the school trying to find his locker and making small talk. We find it 5 minutes before the bell rang; which gave us enough time for Peeta to unload his bag and get his PE gear. We walk to C5 and our homeroom teacher is Cinna.
"Hey Katniss and Peeta!" Cinna yells out.
"Hey Cinna." We reply. We go sit down next to Cato for the half an hour of homeroom.
"What do you guys have first up?" Cato asks. Cato has short dirty blond hair and some huge muscles!
"PE." We reply in unison.
"Same. Walk together?"
"DUH!" I reply. The half an hour went quickly (it took 5 minutes for Cato to figure out I was head cheerleader) then Peeta, Cato and I walk down to the oval pitch to see who's in our PE class. All my girlies and the 'it' boys were in our class (Yippee, in case you haven't realised, I was being sarcastic. I would have to listen to the girls about how they just love the 'it' boys). Our teacher Atla decided that for today we could just talk with each other. Thankfully the girls didn't talk about the 'it' boys, we were talking about our holidays; apparently Madge had a fling with some guy she met named Woof who she met at the mall. The bell rang and it was time to go to Maths (I walked calmly to my locker to get my books). Fortunately for me, Prim, Finnick and Gale were in this class with me. Our teacher was Mr. Seneca Crane; while he was writing on the board Finnick, Gale, Prim and I were having our secret discussion via notes. It was a fun lesson (although the girls in our maths class were staring at Finnick the whole time making me uncomfortable because I was sitting next to him). Finally the bell rang and I got out of my chair ready to kick some butt in Home Ec.
So what did you think? Please review and tell me your ideas and I'll put them in the fanfic. The more reviews, the quicker I update.
