A/N: Hey my lovely readers! I wrote a Catoniss one-shot a little while ago and I have been completely obsessed with Catoniss fanfics! So… I decided to write one of my own! This is going to be at least 20 chapters and I have a lot of ideas for what I would like to do with this! I get all my inspiration from you guys to don't be shy and review! I love hearing from you! Anyways, here is the first chapter! 1 review = 1 chapter. The more reviews the longer the chapter! (Don't worry though, I won't be one of those authors who won't update till you review but I would really appreciate it if you did)
A man was at the park just standing there. He had his hands covering his eyes while he was counting. "15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20! Ready or not, here I come Flower!" He yelled. A little girl was hiding in a tree. SHe thought for sure he wouldn't find her. That little girl is me and I was hiding from my dad. He looked on the playground and didn't find me. Then he starts to walk over to my tree. I held my breath so that he wouldn't hear me. Then two big men came and they had guns in their hands. They started to talk to my father and he was staying calm. Then out of nowhere, they started shooting him. "Daddy! Nooo! Daddy!" I screamed. He looked at me and said "I love you…". Then he fell to the ground dead.
"AHHHHH! NOOO!" I wake up screaming with the blankets all twisted between my legs. Prim came running into the room, fully dressed. "It is okay Katniss, it was just a dream. You are okay, I am right here," she said softly as she rubbed my back. "Thank's little duck. What time is it?" I ask her as I get up.
"Sorry, I forgot to wake you. It is, umm, 7:45. I am so sorry I just finished getting ready and Rue is almost here to go to school with me," Prim said.
"It is okay little duck, you go to school and have a good day," I tell her as I get up. Prim goes outside and begins to walk with her best friend Rue.
I get out of bed really quickly, throw on the first things I find in my dresser, and braid my hair. I look at my outfit. I have on some tight ripped jeans that hug my curves, a forest green long sleeved crop top, and my dad's old leather jacket. I throw on some quick mascara and I sprint out the door. It is my first day at Panem high and I am already late. I got into my beat up red 1998 Toyota camry. I put the key in and it won't turn on. I try again, still nothing. "Come on baby, not today," I say as I continue to try to turn it on. After about 10 tries, I gave up and started to run to school. It isn't that far but it is a 10 minute walk and I only have 5 minutes to get there.
I grab my backpack and begin to speed walk towards school. Many cars pass me and they all just stare at me like I'm crazy. I scowl at them and walk faster. Then a blue mustang slows down next to me. They roll down the window and I see a boy with blue eyes and ashy blond hair. "Hey, do you need a ride? You look like you're in a hurry," he says.
"Yes that would be amazing thank you so much," I say shyly.
I open the door and he asks where I am headed to. I tell him that I am going to Panem High and so is he. "My name is Peeta by the way. What is yours? I haven't seen you around," he says as we reach the parking lot.
"Katniss. I am new here and it is my first day. Thank you again so much for the ride, I would have been totally late on my first day," I tell him as I get out of the car.
"Well I have to go get my schedule, see you around Peeta," I call to him as I race to the office. Luckily the office is right in front of the school so I found it quickly. I go to the desk lady who's name is Ms. Coin.
"Hi, I am Katniss Everdeen and I am new here. Can i have my schedule please," I ask as nicely as I can.
"You are late, don't let it happen again. Here is your schedule. Now get to class before you are even more late," she says harshly while handing me my schedule. I scowl at her before I leave. I glance at my schedule and see that I have Mr. Abernathy for first period. He teaches math in room 12. I look at the map that is right outside the office and see that it is on the other side of the school. I quickly run to the classroom and walk into class without the teacher noticing because he is passed out at his desk. Unfortunately, I didn't go unnoticed by the rest of the class. A few of the guys whistle at me and others just stare at me with a stupid smirk on their face. I honestly don't know why they stare at me like that, I'm not even pretty.
Some of the girls glare at me or don't even acknowledge I am there. I walk to the back of the room and sit in the corner trying to ignore all of the eyes on me. I pull out my phone from under the table and text the only person I know at this school, my best friend Gale.
Katniss : Hey Gale
Gale : hey Catnip, did you make it to class ok
Katniss: Yeah, I was late and the desk lady got mad, but I made it to first period. Luckily the teacher was and still is passed out but all they guys are staring at me
I decided not to tell him they whistled because even though we aren't together, he is like my brother, he is very protective and would probably beat them up
Gale : Don't worry Catnip, I'll make sure they don't bother you anymore
Katniss : I don't need you to go beat them up or anything just like glare at them or something to make them back off
Gale : okay Catnip, i gtg tho cause my teacher is starting cya
Katniss : cya at lunch
I put my phone down and a group of girls walk in my direction. There are three of them. A red head, a girl with spiky brown and purple hair, and a blond. "Hi I'm Annie and this is Johanna and Madge. What is your name?" she asks while painting to the two other girls. Johanna is the one with the purple hair. "I'm Katniss, it's nice to meet you," I reply.
"Do you want to sit with us at lunch? We can introduce you to some of our other friends," Madge asks.
"Yeah thanks, that would be great," I reply, not wanting to be mean and decline. They then walk back to their seats and chat amongst themselves. I get down to put my phone into my backpack and I am met with a pair of brown, chocolaty eyes when I look up.
"Hey beautiful," the boy purrs, "I'm Marvel." I hate these types of boys. They don't actually like me, they just want to play with me and my emotions. I used to have a boyfriend who did that before I moved here.
"That's nice," I say while avoiding eye contact. I can see him getting a bit annoyed with me. He lifts my chin up so I am looking at him. He doesn't remove his hand so I grab his wrist, yank it off my face tell him this,
"If you would like to keep that wrist, I advise you to not touch me again and leave me alone." I hear a loud burst of laughter and see all of his friends laughing at him as he walks back to their table and rubs his wrist. My father taught me to do that if anyone touches me without my consent.
The bell finally rings and I grab my backpack and leave. I have science with Mr. Beetee in room 3 next. Luckily room 3 is right across the hall. I go to my locker which is in the same hallway and put my stuff in there. I grab my science book hoping he is at least awake.
I close my locker and see Gale standing against the one next to me. I haven't seen him in a few months and hug him tightly. He hugs me back and we have the same class together. We head to the back of the room and sadly Marvel and the rest of his friends are in this class too. They are about to whistle when Gale shoots them glare and a few of them glare back. I take my seat and wait for class to start.
"Today we are going to start a project. We will be building a volcano and testing which chemicals will make the clay people I have dissolve. The first pair to figure it out will get a surprise," he pauses while looking every one figuring out their partners, "but, I will be choosing your partners. First up is Gale and Madge, Marvel and Enobaria, Clove and Finnick, Cato and Katniss…" I tune out the rest of the partners because I have no clue who Cato is. I was really hoping to get Gale or at least Madge, but I get stuck with a stranger.
I grab my science book and start to look at possible chemicals. I decided to wait for my partner to find me. Someone sits in the empty chair next to me. I look up and see a blond haired boy staring back at me. He is tall, has a lot of muscle, is pretty handsome, and has the iciest blue eyes I have ever seen. I realize that I have been staring at him for at least a minute when he starts to smirk.
"Like what you see?" he cockily asks. Oh no Katniss, think fast. You have to have a good comeback. Oh I got one…
