If I get 7 reviews I will update soon! *cough* filler chapter *cough*
Katniss POV
I finally made it to school after getting lost about 4 times, but then that is why I left 30 minutes earlier than I needed to, but I guess in the end, I arrived on time. A girl called Annie was chosen to guide me around the school. At first I didn't get why they need a guide, but now I actually see the school, and I realise why. It's absolutely massive; at least 7 times the size of my old school, and that was a normal sized school. I'm so glad they issued me a guide, I would have gotten lost 100 times today. I probably still will get lost, knowing my luck though. But it looks like luck was in my favour, the front office, where I am to meet Annie, is clearly labelled and right near the front entrance. I push open the front door and a peculiar smell hits me, I immediately scrunch up my nose in disgusted, but luckily it wasn't that strong of a smell. While these thoughts were going through my mind, I realised that I had been standing with the door open, and a gust of cold air is coming through.
"God woman! Shut the door! It's bloody freezing!" I quickly comply and mumble an apology towards her general direction. All eyes in the room are on me, making me feel like I have something on me, so I hastily look me up and down, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary, but then I realise, I am the new kid, that's what they're supposed to do.
I walk to the front desk, and a Man called Caesar with a purple coloured hair looks up from his newspaper
"Can I help you?" he asks rather impatiently.
"Umm… I'm… argh…. Katniss Everdeen, I'm the new student" I say rather quickly.
"mmhmm, Principal Snow will be expecting you, along with your guide. Go down the hall, third door on the left." I thank him and leave quietly, but I notice every pair of eyes is still trained on me as if they were listening intently to the small amount of conversation I have made, but then again, they probably were.
I walk down and find the principal's office without any difficulties. I walk in and the peculiar smell from earlier hits me, but a lot stronger. It smells like a mix between blood and maybe roses? I don't really know because I'm not really concentrating on the smell, I'm concentrating on keeping my stomach content in. A man I only presume to be Principal Snow looks up from his desk and notices me. His eyes look me up and down as if he is examining me, but linger a little too long near my nose. I then realise I had scrunched it up again, and immediately stop. His eyes avert from my face rather suddenly, probably because he realised he was staring. He cleared his throat and said
"ahhh, Katniss, it is nice to finally meet you, I have heard…" he pauses for a considerably long amount of time, before continuing "so much about you" I guess he was going to say good, but realised that probably isn't the best of words to describe me. I mean, I'm not bad. But people never pass on information like "she doesn't talk much" or "she always does average in her tests" to the principal of my 3rd new school in 2 years. No, of course they pass on the information about my bad behaviours, like "she gave 2 kids a black eye because they called her a name" and "she ran right out of class and then started a fight, all because a kid teased her sister". Well, I'm guessing Principal Snow is going to keep a close watch on me for my first few months, if I even make it that long in this school. I look back at Principal Snow, and realise he is looking at me, waiting for me to say something, answer his question I didn't hear, so I just do what I always do, keep my mouth shut and nod my head in agreement. He looks rather pleased with this answer, and continues on. A short moment later he calls out a girl's name, Annie. A girl I assume to be named Annie walks in.
"This will be your guide for your first day here, now hurry along please" Principal Snow confirms what I had already thought, the girl in front of me, Annie, is in fact my guide. Annie then gestures for me to leave, so I grab my stuff I didn't realise I had put down and do so. I walk out with Annie right on my heels, and notice about 10 people were all standing near the principals door, probably listening in on our conversation or are Annie's friends. I'm guessing the first, because they all seem to be looking at me, and are talking in hushed voices, but I'm used to this, like I said, I have been new plenty of times. I notice that there is one pair of eyes that isn't looking at me, but rather my guide, Annie, maybe they are friends?
Annie's voice brings me back reality, and I quickly avert my eyes from the group when I realise I had been staring. I then realise she isn't talking to me but to the one person in the group who wasn't looking at me, Finnick, I think she called him. She gives him a smile and a wave and calls out
"I will be back by 4th period, I have to show Katniss" she gestures to me, "around the school" she then turns to me "where do you want to start?"
"Up to you, you're the expert" I reply.
I'm sorry it's so short, but I am super tired. but I will try to update ASAP! I will update when I get 7 reviews? I think that sounds fair, but I probably won't update until Monday at the earliest, because I have lots of plans all weekend! I was alos thinking about doing different POV's? who should I do do you think? I was thinking maybe clove… Anyways, if you have any ideas what could happen in this story PM me or, leave it in that review I know you're dying to give me ;) (don't forget, if you are the lucky 13th reviewer, you get to choose something important about this story! Yayayy),
