Katniss POV:
Beep-Beep! Wake up! It's ten o'clock! Wake up! It's te-...* BAM! *..
''Ugh!'' I groan.
Why did I put this as my alarm ringtone, seriously? Still, better that than my favorite song. Wouldn't be able to stand it anymore.
Why did I have to wake up this early? Oh, right! I ask her to go on one date, and she comes back with a ring on her finger. I know I should be happy for her, but she's rushing into this relationship really fast. She's been with my father for six years before marrying him. Why is this one so different? Whoever he is, I don't like him.
On top of everything, I'll have to change schools. I wonder what Prim thinks about getting two brothers after mum's one passionate reunion with...Derek. Ugh! Just his name is repulsive. He must've been some charmer to pull this out. She wasn't thinking straight I reassure myself. In a couple of days she'll see what a grave mistake she made, and everything will go back to the way it was. But, what if it doesn't?
''Honey, we are leaving in twenty minutes, put your stuff in the car!'' my mother yells from downstairs.
I can't believe I'm leaving this house. The house I grew up in. I'm leaving with my dad's memories sealed within it. And the bench, the beautiful bench made by his hands which lies in the center of our garden. The same hands that used to hold Prim and me on his lap while we eagerly waited for him to tell us a story. One story for each and every night.
I packed all my stuff and went out the door. I sighed. I'm going to miss this place.
''Is that all? Prim, did you lock the door?''
''Yeah, mum,'' Prim says rather...happily?
Guess she's taking this whole idea much better than I. That is Prim for you. Loves everything and everybody.
''Kids, get in the car!''
I groan.
''Catnip, leaving without a goodbye?''
''GALE!'' I yell running into his embrace.
Gale Hawthorne. My other best friend. His dark hair, olive skin and grey eyes can make every girl dreamy. We dated for a while, but it didn't work out. I guess I loved and needed him only as a friend. Can't say the same for him. Sometimes i still think he has some hope on us getting back together. The world would be a better place if i could choose who I love.
''Glimmer has basketball practice. She said she'll stop by your house later,'' he said.
Oh, right ! Another dream that's going down the toilet, and I just made team captain. We were going to win the All Star tournament this year against Panem High. Twenty teams competing each other for the golden trophy. Last year we came second. We lost after some girl put Glim in hospital. Back at school we call her Foxface. A clever, sneaky, sly bitch.
''I'll miss you,'' I say.
''It's not like you're going to a different country. You're half an hour away,'' he says.
''Yeah, but school won't be the same without you and Glimmer,'' I say with a hint of sadness in my voice.
''KATNISS!'' my mum yells.
''Don't worry. Everything is going to work out,'' he pulled me into a tight hug.
Why can't I believe that? I get in the car and wave Gale goodbye. Goodbye? Wow, this really does feel as if I'm going across the world. I'm off to a new life!
Soon enough, we have arrived at our destination. I must admit, the neighborhood looked pretty awesome. I could see at first glance that this wasn't something we could afford. Trees that were spread in what seemed like a line all the way down to the end of the street, green lawns in front of big houses that all looked like they were squished to one another.
At the corner of my eye I could see a group checking me out. In the middle stood a girl with blonde hair, blowing bubblegum. Hmm, her face is kinda familiar. She was giving me the dirty look. I smirked.
''Bitch.'' I muttered.
''Matilda!'' someone yelled.
Oh, Derek. Well, he was quite good looking in his black suit. Blond hair, blue eyes and my, was he tall.
''Derek, what a wonderful neighborhood this is.''
''Thank you, dear. I couldn't wait to meet the girls,'' he says with a smile plastered on his face.
Can't say the same, buddy. He looks like a smiling idiot. It's obvious he's trying to hard.
''You must be Prim,'' he said while shaking her hand.
She giggled. I rolled my eyes. What a sleezeball.
''And you must be Katniss. Matilda, you didn't tell me she was this beautiful. We're going to get along just great.''
''Doubt that,'' I snap.
''KATNISS!''my mum yells.
I roll my eyes.
''No ,it's okay. It's going to take some time. Let me introduce you to my sons. Cato! Marvel ! ''
I see two figures from the group before heading our way. Pfft. They must be some lame, egocentric, absoulu-...
''You must be our new sisters,'' said the sexiest voice I've ever heard, while the other guy was snickering.
I gaped. They were gorgeous. Khm, I meant not bad. Yeah, not bad. The voice belonged to a boy with sun kissed hair, striking ice blue eyes. He was very tall and you could see his abs through his shirt. The other looked nothing like him. He was skinny and tall, but was still muscular with brown hair and green eyes.
''Find something you like?'' he smirked.
I blushed. Crap. Katniss, control your hormones. You have guys swooning over you back at school, don't blush like an idiot in front of these. I put on a cold facade.
''I'm Katniss, and this is Prim,'' I say looking at Prim.
''I'm Marvel,'' the brunette winked.
I gape. What a flirt. Wonder where he gets that from.
'' I'm Cato,'' the blond said, getting all up in my face with a smirk plastered on his face. Well, this one isn't any better.
'' Catoo!'' a voice whined.
'' Be right there, babe.''
I smirked. It's the bitch from before. Wait a second. That's why she's familiar. Basketball tournament. Foxface's best friend. Then she must be here als-
''Marvel!'' another voice called.
I recognized it immediately. Foxface.
Oh boy, was Glimmer gonna love this !
Well that's the end of chapter two. I hope you enjoyed and please review !:)
