Primroses real chapter1 5yrs old

My sister Lily was sitting behind me combing my hair, while I was sitting in a stool in my room in front of a mirror. Since I just turned five years old I was about to start school, I was nervous but I didn't want my sister to know.

"Ow Lily be careful!" I said when she tried to comb a knot out of my hair.

"He he sorry little buddy I'm almost done." She said

I blushed when she used my nickname "little buddy" she called me this my whole life even though I was far from little. Lily and my dad always told me I was big for my age, and I agreed with them I was a lot bigger than most boys my age. My big sister Lily was really pretty she has long orange hair that I think is really pretty. Lily says the name for her hair color is ginger; I never understood why it's called that it's not even the color of ginger root. I asked Lily why her hair color is called what it is, she just told me that's what it's called.

My dad says Lily inherited her hair from my mother's side of the family. I never knew my mom. Lily and my dad said that my mom died in the hunger games when I was only a few months old. My dad didn't want me to know about mom until I was 12, but Lily had my back she told me once I was able to say the word mama. I inherited my dad's hair. I think it's weird my hair doesn't have a diffident color. During the winter, fall and some parts of spring, my hair is a light brown color. During summer or months when it's hot my hair is almost black. I think it's weird but Lily says it handsome.

My whole family had the same eye color. Well it doesn't have a total color. I, Lily, and my dad have eyes that aren't quite green but not quite blue. Lily tells me mom had the same eyes to.

"There you go little buddy your hairs all comb you nervous?" she asked. God sometimes I think she can read my mind.

"Ya what if I don't make any friends and I'm all alone?" I said

I was genuinely nervous other than Lily I have never really had friends the first five years as my life. Lily just laughed and smiled, the way Lily smiled could put anyone out of a bad mood.

"Ha ha don't worry little buddy with the personality you have you'll be the most popular guy in school and have a best friend in a minute." She said smiling

My sister could always put me out of a bad mood. I almost immediately was in a good mood with a smile on my face. Lily said id have a best friend but that wasn't true Lily was, is, and will always be my best friend.

"Come on little buddy lets go get some breakfast dads waiting." Lily said. I just nodded and let her take my hand and led me into the kitchen were my dad was sitting. My dad looked up from the paper he was reading and smiled.

"Look at my son growing up already and so fast, don't bring to many girls home son." He said smiling. Other than Lily I haven't really noticed any other girls they all seemed weird.

"Ewww dad girls are gross." I said sticking my tongue out.

This caused my sister and my dad to burst out into laughter. I didn't realize what was so funny I just spoke my mind. Soon after watching my dad and sister laugh I started laughing. We all stood there in our kitchen laughing. Looking back on my life I wish I could have lived this moment forever.

Lily finally stopped laughing wiped a tear from her eye and said "Ok little buddy let's get to school we can't have you late for your first day now can we."

I nodded my head and she took my hand and led me out the door. We walked through the seam I looked back at my house it was small and looked like every house in the seam. The seam is the poorest part of district twelve. Well district twelve was poor we were the farthest district from the capitol and deffinnently the hungriest and poorest. I looked up at my sister and all my worries went away. As long as I had Lily I would be happy. She looked down and smiled at me, she then led us out of the seam toward district twelve's one and only school.

When we got to the school Lily took me to where all the five year olds gather for their first day. Lily then left to go to the school across the road to the other school with the other 9 year olds. Before she could leave I ran up to her and clung my arms around her waist, I decided I couldn't do this.

"Lily I don't think I can do this." I said all my past worries flowing back into me

Lily got down on one knee to be eye level with me she hugged me smiled and said. "Don't worry little buddy its normal to feel like this Dad had to pry me of his leg my first day, and now I'm having a great time with all my friends."

"Ya but your you, I'm me, I'm not good with people like you are." I said still not convinced.

"I'll make you a deal little buddy after if you go to school now and not be scared I'll take you to the meadow after school." Lily said smiling.

The meadow outside district twelve was like Lily and I's happy place. Whenever something was bothering us we would go there, and I loved it, "Can can we please please Lily?" I said excited.

"Ha ha yes we can… I got something for you little buddy." She said still smiling

She reached into her schoolbag rummaged through it for a bit then pulled out, two rings they were sparkling knew made of what looks like copper and bronze. She put one on her hand and gave the other one to me, these rings must have cost a fortune "Wow thanks Lily I love how did you get it?"

Lily laughed a bit. "I made them yours has your initials on it; I have a matching one with my initials. As long as you have that ring on little buddy I'll always be with you protecting you and you'll remember I love you." She said still smiling

"Thanks Lily I love it, I love you to more than anything." I said hugging her

She hugged back and kissed my cheek. "I love you to little buddy more than anything." She said getting up of her knee and standing up.

We hugged one more time then she left. I looked around the entrance with the other kids till I found a man with a clipboard; I assumed he was in charge. I walked up to him and told him my name, he directed me to a line and said to wait in it until my teacher came.

I was waiting in the line just looking at my ring when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw a boy about three inches shorter than me he had black hair and seam grey eyes.

"I'm Rory Rory Hawthorne." He said extending his hand.

I shoke it gladly. "I'm Dom Dom Virelli." I said.

He eyed my right hand. "Wow that's an awesome ring how'd you get that in the seam?" he asked

"My sister Lily made it for me." I said

"Cool you have a sister I have a brother his names Gale he's 11." He said proudly.

"My sisters name is Lily she's 9." I said just as proudly

We talked for a bit about our siblings, what our life was like, but before we could get any farther the teacher came. We followed the teacher to the classroom where I sat next to Rory. "Maybe this won't be so bad" I thought.

The school day turned out not being bad. Rory and I talked and I found out I got a talent for writing. The two of us were walking across the road to the other school were Lily and apparently Rory's brother Gale was. I was walking with my head down looking at my ring when I ran into something large, and feel to the ground. I looked up to see a giant boy bigger than me over top of me.

"Watch were you're going kid." He said

I got myself up and said "S..sorry I wasn't watching were I was going."

He pushed me onto the ground again I was about to cry but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. He then eyed my right hand. "Nice ring kid I'll take that." He said slipping it of my finger.

Rory tried to help but was just thrown aside by the kid. I was about to cry until I heard a lifesaving voice. "You BETTER get of MY little brother before you regret it kid." Said the voice of my sister. I looked past the kid and saw Lily hands on her hips anger in her eyes. I only ever saw Lily mad once I broke her doll and let's just say. IT WAS TERRIBLE for me. I really was glad I wasn't this boy right now.

"Ha and what are you going to do girl." He said tossing my ring in the air laughing.

Lily's eyes went wide "Ohhh now you've done it." I said.

He turned around and laughed at me. When he turned around his face was met by my sister's fist. He immediately dropped the ring and ran away crying.

"Lily!" I said running to her.

"Alright little buddy I promised you the meadow let's go." She said smiling like nothing happened.

I just nodded this is why I loved my sister. I said my good bye to Rory who found his brother after quick introductions me and Lily left for the meadow. It's at this moment when I realized how much I loved my sister. The next two years were amazing. Until about a month after my seventh birthday it all started going downhill.
