Hi Everyone! I just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to all those awesome people who reviewed or added me to their fav story list or author list and all those who are following this story. High fives to you all! Anyway...here's the next chapter of My Life hope you all enjoy it. Yours Dandelion head.
I step out into the cool morning air and suddenly my feet feel something prickly. What the f... I forgot my shoes. Crud! As quiet as possible I open the door and slip inside, only to be met with the blue eyes of my sister, a smirk plastered on her dainty face. "Forgeting something Katniss" she said innocently holding out my soft, worn brown boots. I scrowl as I snatch them out of her hands and shove them on to my feet thinking at least I remembered to put on socks. Prim chuckles and turns like a ballerina saying bye and heading back to her breakfast. I mutter a quick thanks and bye and head out again.
Grabbing all my things and making sure I haven't forgotten anything, I run to my bright blue mini cooper ( present from mum to apologise for dragging my sorry ass half way across the world but hey I get a brand new car so I'm not complaining) and throw my stuff in, buckle in and start driving to the hell-hole I will be going to for the next year for what the Americans call my senior year (I think, I never understood the equivalents to years in England and the junior , sophomore, freshman thingy. Prim spent 3 hours trying to teach me all the American linguo and eventually gave up and she is the most patient person in the universe which just shows the effect I have on people. I'm telling I got Madge angry and she never gets angry even when the schools bitch called her fat and ugly, she quietly and calmly slated her back with words I didn't even know she had in her vocab). The drive to school took 10 minutes and it was 45 past. Yes get in! I have 15 minutes till the bell rings. I get out of my car after parking it and head towards my locker. Blending in with the crowd, I shuffle to my locker. Right you can do this, it's just a lock. No mind it's not just a lock...it's a bloody combination lock where you have to turn cuckoo king dial. Ok here I go... I turn the dial to my combo. Shit is it left than right or... My crazy thoughts were interrupted by a boy next to me. He had curly golden blonde hair that bounced on his head when he moved and went over his gorgeous blue eyes that could rival the clear Panem sea. He was tall at least 6ft and well built and had a dimple in the corner of his mouth when he smiled. "Do you need some help?" he asked kindly, his American accent subtly rang thourgh when he spoke. I nodded and moved out of the way and showed him my combo. Swiftly he turned the dial and I watched remembering it so I could do it myself next time. He opened it and I put in my books for lessons I have after lunch. "Cheers" I say once I have closed it and look at his puzzled face. "Cheers?" he questions his eyebrows furrowed together in confusion.
"You know: thanks" I say blankly. Was he stupid didn't he know that...wait Crap! "Sorry that's an English way to say thanks, I guess you don't say it here" I say quickly feeling stupid. He must see this because he smiles "Don't feel stupid old habits die hard, I , myself can't stop making Bread every morning and I thought I recognised the accent so you're Panem Highs eccentric British new girl huh?" " Well I wouldn't say eccentric but yes sorry if I didn't live up to your expectations, Bread boy" I say. Bread boy grins at his nickname. "Nah you surpassed them, I'll see you later mockingjay" giving me a nickname cause of my pin he smiled one last time and with that he left. What did he mean by surpassing expectations? Oh well gotta head to registration before more people realise I'm the new girl.
