Chapter One:

Katniss POV

My life sucks. I just moved to a new town, my dad died, my mother is depressed andI have to get used to a new school. So like I said, my life pretty much sucks right now…

"KATNISS!" my little sister Prim yelled. I love Prim more than anything. She is friendly and loving but also very determined when she wants to be. She is still trying to break the barrier my mother has built around herself since dad's death…

"KATNISS!" Prim yells even louder. I sigh, get out of bed and maneuver my way through unpacked boxes and walk downstairs. "Yes Prim?" I ask as I grab an apple from the counter top. "Can you help me please?" she pleads. "Sure thing little duck." I put down my apple, grab some scissors and cut the sellotape off of the box. When we have nearly finished unpacking the box, I check the time to see that we are running late. Great.

"Prim, we're running late and you need to get changed so we can get to school in time: I tell her. She mumbles something back to me that sounds like 'we have plenty of time' but she then checks the clock and realizes I am right. "Katniss! We are going to be late!" she yells while sprinting up the stairs to her bedroom. I laugh and follow her up the stairs. I change and braiding my hair into what Prim refers to as a 'Katniss braid'.

25 minutes later Prim and I are walking out of the house. I am literally dreading every step I take. I drop Prim off at her school and walk 5 more minuets until I am standing outside the front gates of Panem High School. I take a deep breath and find my way to the front office. After meeting with the principal Mr Snow, who's office smelt strongly of roses, I manage to locate my locker. I open it, that's when I spot the hair. The sandy blonde hair of my best friend before he moved…

I am jolted back to reality when the bell rings. He turns and sees me. Its him. My best friend. He looks at me with those beautiful blue eyes. Just looking at me.

"Cato?"
