Hey guys! So don't worry Gale and Katniss will be reunited again, and I know that most of you have come for Gale and Katniss but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them together. I have other plans. Enjoy! (Probably another short one) And again sorry for saying Gail in chapter 3! I also am kind of switching up the way Katniss acts around people I guess.
Katniss POV:
A loud shrilling sound goes off and startles me awake. In the corner is a red bell that goes off in less than ten seconds. I was told it was the dinner bell.
I look at the bedside table and realize I dozed off right when Darrel left me. I get up and look through the clothes in the armoire meant for me. It has green and lilac dresses, white shirts and many black jackets. I slip off my brown and dirty shirt, and slip on the white one. Then I move to the bathroom and re-braid my hair.
I suddenly get a warm and fuzzy feeling following a flash of my mother doing my braid with Prim watching and twisting her hair next to me. She must have been around 5. I sharp pain comes to my chest but I quickly snap out of it right when there is a knock at my door.
"Andy" I say under my breath.
He knocks three more times but this time in a rhythm.
I open the door and am surprised to see that he actually took off his mucky clothes and replaced it with a nice white shirt and almost dress pants. Suddenly I feel less appropriate.
"Hey! I was worried you fell asleep and wouldn't hear the bell or me knocking" He smiles and looks down.
"Yeah, well I would have to be much drugged to sleep through that" I respond and he looks up and laughs.
"So are you ready to go? If we get there before 7:30 then we get the best stuff." He takes off down the hall and I follow him, "Of course you're a guest so you can get the best either way. Now before we get there I'll update you on the rules and stuff around here.
He tells me about how breakfast is from 6:00-9:00AM, lunch is a tiny snack from 12:00-2:00PM and dinner runs from 6:00- 8:30PM, and the water for the shower is on any time after 3 PM. I do the occasional nod and ask a few questions like what's usually for breakfast or dinner, but when he replies I just fade off in the rest of the crowd getting to the food hall. He opens the doors to the food hall and we walk down the rows and rows of metal picnic tables. This large room, with people lined up to get they're food just like at a school cafeteria, could fit probably around 1000 people. We finally approach a picnic table with Darrel, and Aud sitting at it with some others.
"Katniss! Andy! Join us!" Yells Aud, she moves over a bit and squishes a boy around my age with tan skin and auburn hair who's talking to Andy now. She pats the space next to her softly and I take my seat.
"I'll get you some food." She stands up leaving me sitting there awkwardly.
Someone's scoots beside me but I just ignore until I hear someone clear they're throat.
"So you're new here right?" Says the boy with the tan skin and auburn.
"Gee how'd you guess? Is it me sitting here awkwardly or the fact that everyone is treating me special?" I say glimpsing up, this time I notice his green hazel eyes and bright hair that falls into his eyes.
"None" He says with a laugh, "Just a lucky guess, but now that you mention it, the awkwardness."
I ignore him and look the other way.
Luckily my escape came pretty quick.
"Sam, don't upset our guest." Says Aud, Evan slides away and murmurs and sorry.
"Eat this, you must be hungry." Aud says passing me a plate filled with what looks like mashed potatoes and chicken. I take a bite and find it surprisingly good.
At 7:45 people start clearing out slowly leaving on about ten tables left including ours. I just finish eating when I get back into the conversation at the table.
"So Andy you have your plan for tomorrow all figured out? I was thinking getting her prepared starting at 6:00 then leaving around 10:00AM. You will also need some others for a good team so take our best fighters." Auds says and that's where I take the hint that she must be the real leader around here. Or one of them.
"Yes, well I was thinking James, Jake, Al, Sabrina and Evan." The name of Sam makes me flinch.
"Wait are you telling me she actually knows how to fight?" Says Sam grinning,
"What are you saying Sam? That girls can't fight?" Ask a black haired girl wearing a bit too much eye shadow.
"Sabrina calm down. And yes Sam she can fight. And you better get used to it because you'll be training and on the mission with her. Now those going tomorrow go and get your sleep. Andy and I will be in the control room planning." She speaks while she gets up with Andy and move out the doors.
The moment they're out of the doors, everyone else remaining at the table, which I'm guessing was James, Jake, Al, Sabrina and Sam.
I get up first and leave the way I came in. But when I head for the halls I am suddenly lost, I think about taking a chance but I could stumble somewhere and get in trouble.
"This way Katty." I spin around and arrive face to face with a laughing Sam.
"It's Katniss, not Katty." I reply angrily.
"Just follow me." And I do, through familiar hall ways. We suddenly stop at a room that says 505 and it takes a while but clicks that this is my room.
"Thanks." I say awkwardly, he nods and we stand they're for a while doing nothing but just looking at each other. "I'm going to go in now." I turn the knob and go in, I hesitate halfway through but continue just as he grabs my arm and spins me around.
"See you tomorrow, Katty." He turns and walks back down the hallway we just came. I can feel his smirk but just return back in my room and dive straight for my bed.
So that's it for now! Hope you adored it because I did J leave a review please! Oh and Gale will be coming soon, but I made up my mind for what's going to happen. And do you like Sam?
