CH4 – Wakey, Wakey

Katniss POV

"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP"

"Erghh! Annie what time is, so early, more sleep" Is all I manage to mumble through my state of sleep. I wait for her to answer, but she doesn't. "ANNIE!" I shout sluggishly. Still no answer. I begin to swing my arms rapidly on the other half of the soft, double mattress, where Annie should be sleeping, but her body isn't there. I slowly raise my right eyelid and realize it is still dark out. I peer around the small living room of my apartment and notice that Prim is still sleeping, her breaths slow and quiet. I reach my hand for my phone on the carpeted floor next to the mattress to turn off the alarm. I fiddle with it for a while before I hold it in front of my face, opening both eyes to see it clearly. The screen of the phone is on the normal home screen and I realise Annie set the alarm on her phone, not mine. I push myself up and red my head on the couch behind me.

"ANNIEE!" I shout, becoming annoyed at the alarm on her phone that is still going off.

"In the kitchen, Katniss" Annie says, her voice a low murmur. I stand up and drag my feet along the carpeted floor as I walk towards the kitchen. The light coming from the small florescent light I have in my kitchen burns through my eyes as it becomes my intense the closer I get. Squinting my eyes I make out the shape of Annie standing in front of the sink with 2 cups of coffee in her hands. As my eyes adjust to the lighting I notice a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon sitting on the wooden counter of my kitchen.

"Coffee?" Annie asks as she passes me one of the cups in her hands. "I also made you some breakfast, I already ate mine" she says sweetly. It is just like Annie to do something like this. I grab the old cracked stool I have sitting under the counter and slump down on it.

"What timessit" I slur, still not completely awake. I take a sip of my coffee hoping it will help me wake up.

"3:50 in the morning, we have to be out of here by four" she says, sipping the last bit of her coffee.

"I will go get dressed then" I say slowly because the coffee still hasn't kicked it. I place the coffee onto the counter and walk to my bedroom. I pull out a pair of faded, skinny jeans and a black oversized t-shirt with a brown leather jacket and a big cargo-green knitted scarf. I slip my feet into a pair of black boots and grab the duffel bag that I packed last night and throw it onto my bed. I dig into my small cupboard and grab one of my old, small backpacks. In the backpack I shove in my keys, phone and wallet. Then I walk to the wooden dresser that sits next to the big window in my room and pull open the top draw, I rummage through it and find the old watch my dad gave me before he died and wrapped it around my wrist and clip it down. I then reach into the draw and grab a pair of sunnies that use to be my dad's and slip them into my backpack. I reach over my bed and grab my pillow and duffle bag and head back into the living room where Annie is sitting on the couch playing with her phone.

"Ready to go?" she asks jumping up and walking over to the door. I carry my bags over and dump them by the door frame.

"I need to wake prim" I say and turn back into the living room. I kneel down beside the mattress and shake her softly. "Wakey, wakey, little duck" I whisper into her ear. Her eyes flutter open slowly, still droopy from sleepiness. "You have to get up to go to Gale's house" I tell her.

When I was 16 and Prim was 9, our father died from cancer, it wasn't a surprise, we all knew he was going to go, but it doesn't change how much I miss him. A year and a half later our mother was diagnosed with clinical depression so they put her on medication. Half a year later, they decided she hadn't improved so they put her into the hospital, luckily by then I was 18, meaning I could be listed as Prim's legal guardian so we didn't have to go to foster homes. Gale still lives with his mother and brothers so while I'm away Prim's going to be staying at their house.

"Come on Prim, I have to go" I say and shake her, a little rougher this time. She gets to her feet unsteadily and gets changed into a brown skirt and white shirt. She braids her wavy blonde hair into two braids like always and picks up the bag she packed yesterday. I put my arm over her shoulder and guide her to the front door.

We step out into the piercing, cold morning air and head down the staircase that leads to the parking lot. I jump in the front seat of my car and slam the door, trying to trap in as much heat as I can. Annie sits in the passenger seat next to me and Prim sits in the back. I start the car and we head to Gale's house.

Time lapse

"Be good, Prim and Listen to Hazel! I will be back before you know it, little duck!" I say and kiss her on the forehead. Her cheeks flush a bright red.

"Katniss! Don't call me that! Gale's brothers are here" she says giggling. I laugh and pull her into a tight hug.

"I'm going to miss you, you know that right?" I tell her, feeling tears build up in my eyes. I never left Prim after my father died. I was always by her side. As my mum got worse and worse, I ended up caring for her, I was the only thing she had left. I don't know how I'm going to deal with leaving her for 2 weeks. "Text me every night okay?" I tell her as the tears begin to flow down my cheeks.

"Oh come on, catnip. My brothers will make her feel at home!" Gale says "won't you Rory" he continues, nodding towards his younger brother. He is Prims age and goes to the same school as her. Rory's cheeks blush a bright red and he scampers inside the house. "Kids these days" Gale says nudging my arm. I wipe my tears away and look to the entrance to Gale house where Prim is now standing.

"I love you" I mouth to her; she does the same and then runs inside the house.

"Chuck your stuff in the back" I mumble to Gale, my voice not steady yet. He does as I say and then slides into the seat that Prim was sitting in while I get back into the driver's seat and start the car. I check the time on the dash; it is 4:15am so we still have 45 minutes to get to school. I pull out of Gale's driveway and head down the street.

"Hey Gale" Annie says in her sweet little voice after a few moments of silence.

"Hey Annie, how was your girls night?" he asks, a smirk wiping across his face. I smile to myself as I remember how last night panned out. After our little relationship advice session we had tried to name all of the girls gale has gone out with, Annie had tried to include me because of our little blind date but I didn't let her. We ended up getting to 47 and they were only the girls we knew about. Annie bursts out laughing causing my smile turn into more of a grin.

"What?!" Gale asks watching as Annie losses it in the passenger seat

"Did you know you have been out with more than 47 girls, Gale?" I ask him calmly, raising an eyebrow. Gale looks confused but his face tones into a dark red, he looks out the window, which causes me to laugh.

"How do you know that?" he snaps at us.

"It's called maths" Annie says still laughing. We spend the rest of the car ride in silence besides the Gale mumbling something about invasion of privacy and they have no right to do that.

We arrive at school 20 minutes later and I weave through all the people crowding around talking to get to my classroom. I walk through the door and see only a few other people in the classroom, Cato was sitting in his seat up in the back right corner talking to his friend Marvel. I dig through my bag and find the small envelope that I had stashed the money in, I hand it to Ms. Coin and she gives me an approving nod even though her eyes tell a different story. I start to head to my seat and catch a glimpse of Cato staring at me, a give him a weary smile and look back down at my feet, I need to sort things out with him but I really don't want to do it now, especially with my lack of sleep.

I don't realise until I'm standing right at my seat that Finnick is sitting in it, talking to Peeta who is sitting on my desk.

"What are you doing" I snap, eyeing him down as he smiles at me.

"Ahh! Katniss, how lovely to see you!" Finnick says, ignoring my question. "Excited for the trip?" he asks.

"Why would you care?" I say, repositioning my bag on my shoulders and tightening my grip on my duffle bag.

"Well… because I think this trip is going to be very interesting" He says, smiling at Peeta and then giving me a wink. What is with this guy? I'm glad I'm not spending 2 weeks in a tent with him.
