Chapter 4 (In Marvels dream)
I'm standing in front of the classroom reading out my essay to the other kids. Mrs. Maggs wanted me to write them a story because she says I have a descriptive way of words. So as I get to the middle of my first paragraph some of the boys start to taunt me and calling me 'Powder'. I have gotten a lot more pale lately and I don't know what is going on but my mother tells me not to listen to those people. My freckles stand out on my face the most. I get teased a lot so I am used to it. When the bell rings for recess I run out towards the swings. I don't have any friends. Mainly because I keep moving and people think I am weird because I look different from them or talk differently. But when I make it to the swings I notice a kid named Brutus and a few of his friend waiting there for me.
"Hi." I say timidly. They might even want to be my friend!
"Diseased little freak. Why don't you go back to the little rat whole your 'mother' found you in?" They taunt me. I actually thought I could have a friend. I get fooled a lot. I really need to quite this habit.
"I am no diseased! There is a reason why I don't look like you. God made me special. That's why I don't look like any of you and your just jealous." I say triumphantly. Obviously thinking I had won this fight. But when I go to turn around I see Katniss in the back. Someone stuck a gag in her mouth. She shakes it off and screams,
"Marvel!" I run towards her but every time I move it's like she is being pulled further away from me. Then voices start going off in my head.
You have cancer
Your nothing but a little freak
No one will ever love you
Powder
Disgusting little weirdo
Then I feel myself being shaken. The image of Katniss getting closer and closer. Then someone pulls out a knife and slits her throat. The image getting fuzzier by the second until I see Katniss's face yet again.
"Marvel! I'm here! I'm here! Don't worry I'm here." Katniss whispers to me as she hugs me. My body wracked with sobs and I just let it all go.
"People used to call me Powder. And a lot of really mean names. No one liked me." I say, muffled by her cotton shirt that my mother had put on her. That's when I realize that she is out of bed and is bending her wounds.
"Katniss! You shouldn't be out of bed. Your burns must hurt really badly now." I say as a grimace takes over my face thinking of how she must feel, bent over comforting me.
"No I think your mother used Capitol medicine on my burns because they are completely healed." She says as she looks down at my tear-streaked face.
"I'm sorry I am acting like a baby. I shouldn't be crying. I don't deserve to. I'm a monster." I whisper the last part hoping Katniss didn't hear me but she did. She hugs me again then takes my shoulders and makes me look at her.
"Marvel Hinder! You are no where near a monster. You are my best friend and I will not let anyone walk over you like that ever again! Do you hear me?!" She finishes looking at me with such intensity. I gulp and nod. I am so glad Katniss is my friend now. I hope I will get to have her around me for the rest of my life as well.
"Thank you so much for being my friend." I tell her.
"I would have found you sometime so don't worry about it." She playfully punches my arm with a wink.
"Ok so lets plan that sleepover we were talking about earlier." She says as she sits down in front of me, legs crossed.
"Well since it is morning I think we should talk about this at the table where the breakfast will be served." I say as I walk to the kitchen, Katniss not far behind. When we get there I see the oranges and apples piled up in a dish with the waffles beside it. When I look over to Katniss her mouth nearly touches the floor staring at the food.
"Well come on lets eat!" I say as I take a seat across from Katniss. She digs in immediately. Her braid frizzy and a little burnt at the ends. I know how to cut hair. Hmmm.
"Hey Kitty?" I ask. I like the new nickname I just gave her.
"Kitty? Fine then what, Mavvy?" She teases back with her eyebrows arched.
"Can I do your hair?" I ask finishing off my orange.
"Yeah sure You can do it while we discus the sleepover." She skips off into my room. I walk in to find her sitting on my bad. Oh my gosh! I actually have a girl ON MY bed!
"Ok so what do you want the hair style to be like?" I question getting out my mothers scissors, Curler, straightener, and a towel to put over her.
"I just want the burnt part cut off but in a straight, even line. And can you also trim my bangs so they hang off to the right side so they will fit into my braid better?" She asks. I nod and get to work. First I cut off the burnt pieces then make the bottom straight. Then I work on the bangs. Dang this girls hair is long! But it's like a chocolate fountain, with all of the waves coming down and with the color. I'm tempted to chew on it just to check but I don't want to scare her off.
" How about we have the sleepover tonight at my house?" I ask. She beams then nods at me.
"Ok we can do all sorts of things. So starting our friendship out and yesterday was Friday, I think we should have like a hang-out night every Friday from now on!" Katniss suggests. That's a great idea! I nod at her then tell her I'm finished. She turns to look in the mirror. And gasps. I hope that's a good sign.
"This is amazing Mavvy!" She says I blush a little at the nickname.
"Thanks I learned how to do fashion and hair from my uncle, Cinna." I say. She is still beaming as she hugs me.
"Thank you!" She says. I smile and nod. Just watching her makes me get butterflies in my stomach.
"Do you want to go see your family now?" I question. She nods then asks,
"Will you come with me?" I smile and nod then we walk out the door of my house. We walk around the corner and enter their new house.
