Author's Note:
Sorry I haven't been updating! I was on holiday. As an apology, I finished a little Hunger Games on shot, did you see it? Here's my 2nd Hunger Games story: Mean Girls. This is also my first cross-over/movie based story. Summary: My name is Katniss Everdeen and I'm 16 years old. Until today, I was home-schooled. Then, it was good-bye District 12, and hello high-school. Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the Hunger Games. The entire amazing trilogy belongs to Suzanne Collins. I don't own anything from Mean Girls either. All of it belongs to Paramount Pictures Corporation. I've also used the same dialogue as the film. Enjoy!
Katniss Everdeen's P.O.V.
"This is your lunch. I put a dollar in there so you can buy some milk; you can ask one of the big kids where to do that," My father says.
"Did you remember your phone number? I wrote it down for you just in case. Put it in your pocket, I don't want you to lose it." My mother is very worried. "Okay? You ready?"
I stand up. "I think so!" I say.
"Me too!" Prim cheers. My father whips out his camera. "It's Katniss and Prim's big day!"
We all smile at the camera and my mother is sobbing. I guess it's natural for parents to cry on their kids' first day of school. But, you know, this usually happens when the kids are five. I'm 16, and until today, I was home-schooled. So was my little sister, Prim. She's just 12. And I love her more than anything. I know what you're thinking. Home-schooled kids are freaks. Or that they're weirdly religious or something.
But my family's totally normal. Except for the fact that my family spent the last 12 years in District 12. I had a great life. But then my mom got off her tenth year at North Western University. So it was good-bye District 12, and hello high school. We dropped Prim off and then my parents went to drop me off. I told them to stay on the other side, that I could totally cross the road by myself. I was waving, when I nearly got hit by a school bus. My mother freaked out and screamed.
"I'm okay. Sorry, I'll be careful," I reassured them. And so, I took a deep breath and walked through the doors of high school. As I walked to the door, I bumped into many people. Are all high schools like this? Never mind that, I need to get to class. I walked up along the corridor until I found Classroom 3-B. This is a normal classroom. I thought I saw the teacher at her desk, so I went up and introduced myself.
"Hi, I don't know if anyone told you about me. I'm a new student here. My name is Katniss Everdeen," I said briskly. The 'teacher' frowned.
"Talk to me again, and I'll kick your ass," she told me. Lots of people laughed. Oh no, I completely humiliated myself on my first day! I saw lots of empty seats, so I walked towards one.
"You don't want to sit there," a friendly looking girl told me. "Leanne's boyfriend is going to sit there."
As if rehearsed, Leanne's boyfriend sat in that seat and they started making out. Gross. I saw another empty seat. Again, I walked towards that seat. The same girl stopped me. "Uh, uh," she said. She pointed to the guy sitting in front. "He farts a lot." I have nowhere to sit. I started walking backwards and bumped into the real teacher, who spilled her coffee all over her sweater. "Oh, god, I'm so sorry," I said, completely embarrassed, again.
"It's not you, it's bad luck," she said. She started taking off her sweater, but her T-Shirt was stuck to her sweater, and her bra was showing. Suddenly, the principal walked in. "Ms. Trinket?"
Ms. Trinket sighed. "My T-Shirt's stuck to my sweater, isn't it?" she asked.
"Yes," I replied, pulling it down.
"Fantastic," she said sarcastically.
"Is everything alright in here?" The principal asked.
"Oh, yeah."
"So, uh, how was your summer?"
"I got divorced." They started chatting, and then the principal said, "Well, I just wanted to let everyone know that we have a new student joining us. She just moved here all the way from District 12." The principal took out a slip of paper. "Her name is Katiss. Katiss Everdeen. Where are you Katiss?"
I raised my hand. "That's me," I said "It's actually Katniss."
"My apologies."
"Well, welcome, Katniss," Ms. Trinket said. "and thank you, Mr. Cinna."
"Well, thank you." Mr. Cinna said, then he whispered, "And, if you need anything, or if you need to talk to someone…"
"Thanks, maybe some other time when my shirt isn't see-through."
"Okay. Okay! Good-day everybody!" Mr. Cinna said, and left.
The first day of school was a blur. A stressful, surreal blur. I got in trouble for the most random things.
Flashback
I got up to use the toilet during chemistry when Mr. Long stopped talking and looked at me. "Where are you going?" he asked.
"Oh, I have to go to the bathroom."
"You need the lavatory pass."
"Okay, can I have the lavatory pass?"
Mr. Long chuckled. "Nice try, have a seat." I was so confused.
End of flashback
I had never lived in a world where adults didn't trust me, where they were always yelling at me. Saying things like:
"Don't read ahead!"
"No green pen!"
"No food in class!" Even my German teacher yelled at me in German, "Stay in your assigned seat!" she said.
Finally, it was lunch time. I don't think anyone wanted me to sit next to them. I had no choice but to eat in the toilet. I wonder how Prim was doing.
When I got home, my parents were waiting for me outside.
"Hey!" My father said. "How's your first day?" I didn't reply. I just walked into the house.
Primrose Everdeen's P.O.V.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow at there, right?" I asked. Rue smiled. "Of course, Prim!" I laughed. "Okay, bye Rue!" I turned around and skipped all the way home. Mom and Dad were sitting outside with shocked faces. "She just had a bad day!" I heard them whisper. They looked up at me. "Hey!" Dad said. "How's your first day?"
"Awesome!"
"Were people nice?"
"So nice!"
"Did you make any friends?"
"Yeah, I met this girl called Rue. She's lovely. You'll love her!"
"That's good news, Primrose!"
I walked inside. Something didn't seem right. Where's Katniss? "She just had a bad day!" Dad said. Oh, poor Katniss! I threw my backpack in my room and knocked on Katniss's door. "Kat?" I asked. "Can I talk to you?"
She opened the door. "Come in, Prim."
"Did you make any friends, Katniss?"
"No," she sobbed, "no one wanted to be my friend!"
I sighed. "Katniss, here's what you do. Tomorrow, don't wait for people to ask you to be their friend, you go to them."
Katniss looked up at me. "Are you sure, Prim?"
"Positive." She smiled at me. "Okay."
So, my first chapter! What did you think? Please review! Thanks! :)
