A/N:Hey guys! :) Sorry I've not uploaded in a while. I have been SUPER busy with school, having a life, blah blah :)
But, it's the summer holidays in two days! :D I might not be able to upload till Saturday, then Monday or Tuesday, because on Thursday, I have this huge class tradition thing, celebrating the end of school, Friday I'm going to the cinema with some friends, and Sunday I had a massive camp out with my Mates! Phew!
And guys, this story is LOOSELY based on Wild Child. As the owner, I can make any changes I want. But to see them, you will have to keep reading ;)
But anyways, Before you read, Mrs Mellark is a NICE person! And, I know that the movie goes into her not wanting friends, but this is different. For you guys, theres gonna be lots of Peeta and Katniss love! Ok? Well, now you may read!:D
DISCLAIMER: Do you think I own The Hunger Games or Wild Child? Really?
Creamy, white gravel crunched underneath the wheels of the limo.
The view from the window revealed bunches off school girls, in burgundy blazers, pleated skirts and knee high socks, with some sort of cross stitch pattern on it. People kept turning around, gawking at the car with pure amazement and bewilderment, like Finnick Odair had just showed up.
The car slowly stopped, and Dad turned around to speak to me. Running his fingers through his blonde hair, he looked ten years older. He had bags under his weary, tired blue eyes, and stress lines were splattered across his face. You could tell that bring a single Dad, coping with the grief of losing his wife, and working as a fancy lawyer had taken its toll. I almost felt sorry for what I did.
Almost.
" Katniss...". He says softly.
"What?". I snap. He closes his eyes at the tone of my voice. I can't look at him.
"Promise me one thing. Please.". He try's to keep his voice normal, but the pleading in his voice is noticeable.
I look at him.
" Try to be good.". I laugh, a cold, cruel laugh.
"Good? Good? You expect me to be 'Good', when you have completely ruined my life, by throwing me into this pleated skirts, knee high sock filled hell hole". I sighs.
"Whatever...". And with that, he gets out the car. I sigh. Suddenly, the car door swings open with a jolt, and I jump.
Looking up, I see a woman with bright blonde hair, in a donut bun, pinned back tight. She's wearing a pinstripe, grey suit jacket and a skirt, with high heels. She smiles at me, before letting me out of the car.
I instantly feel a chill creep up my legs. I decided to wear purple shorts, a white vest top, purple high heels and a simple denim jacket on top. I rub my arms slightly, while the woman talks.
"Hello Katniss. I, am Mrs Mellark. The headmistress of Panem Academy for young girls."
She says officially. I stare at her blankly. She sticks out her hand, and I lightly shake it. She grins.
"Welcome! The entire school body and myself are very confident you will enjoy your year here. I raise my eyebrows. She sighs, and takes my hand.
"I promise." I nod.
"Your luggage will be delivered to your room". She states, before spinning around.
"Miss Stenburg!". She calls. A girl with curly, dark hair, that's piled on top if her head, and dark skin, runs up. She is very small, and looks like she should be in a box labeled 'Handle With Care'.
" Take Miss Everdeen to her to her room ". She nods, and gestures me over. I cautiously step over. Grinning, the girl speaks.
" My name is Rue. What's yours?". I have no choice but to smile back. This girl is so sweet, you have to like her.
" Katniss. Katniss Everdeen". I smile, shaking her hand. We begin to walk along the green lawn. " How old are you?". I ask her.
"16". She replies. I gasp.
"No way!". I say. She giggles.
" I'm pretty small, right?". I nod.
She nods. " I get that a lot". She opens her mouth to speak, when's she's interrupted.
"Hello.".
I turn around, to see a very pretty girl, standing before us. Her blonde hair is pinned back, neatly, and she looks very official. I give her a nod. "Hey..". I say back. She gives me a small smile. "I, if you don't already know,". She exchanges smirks with the two girls standing next to her. "Am Glimmer Rambin. Head Girl of Panem Academy.". She sticks out her hand. I stare at it, and I can tell by Rue's fidgeting I look revolted. Glimmers eyes flash. " Your supposed to shake it.". She says, slowly, like I'm dumb. I smirk. " I know. I'm not brain dead. Like SOME people.". I reply, hand on hip. Glimmer laughs. "Really? Well shake it.". She hisses. I laugh again. " I don't want to.". Glimmer slowly brings get hand down, and, again, shows off her trademark smirk. Which mine of course tops. " Well, at least tell me your name. I should know it. You are quite a... memorable student." She glares. I glare right back. " Katniss. Katniss Everdeen.".
She scoffs. " Katniss? What kind of name is that?". She scowls. I suddenly go all stiff. I feel myself go pale. " What? You suddenly gone all quiet?". She says. I
look her in the eyes. " It was my mothers name.". I turn around, and start to walk away. " And you would do well to think about your own name before insulting other peoples. Glimmer,". I smirk. Me and start to walk away., before I freeze. " If her mother and her share a name, they must be equally slutty, tarty and stupid.". Glimmer whispers to her entourage. I lock eyes with Rue, her chocolate brown eyes staring into my silver ones. She just nods. I stalk over to Glimmer, my heels clicking on the ground. Tapping her on the shoulder, she turns around, face blank." Glimmer?". I say, calmly. "Yes?" She smirks. And then I lose it. Delivering a sharp kick to her leg, she shrieks, and goes down, clutching her leg. Gasp's erupt around me. I bend down, so my face is right next to hers. "You ever, EVER insult my mother again, I swear I will rip your stuck up, snobby, bitchy guts out, and throw them in your smug little face. Got it?". I hiss. She nods, her eyes filled with fear. " Katniss Everdeen!". I look up, to see Mrs Mellark, staring down at me. "My office. Now!". She says, sternly. I simply nod. " You too, Rue.". Rue scurries after her. Glimmer stands up, limping slightly. I step towards her. " This isn't over." I scowl. She glares at me. " It's only just begun.".
TEN MINUTES LATER
" Now. I want you-". I try to cut in. " I want RUE!". She speaks over me. " To explain everything that happened.". She puts her hands in her laps, face calm again. Rue takes a deep breath. " Myself and Katniss, were walking away after talking to Glimmer. You see, Glimmer had made fun of Katniss's name. Katniss had told her that she was named after her Mother. Whilst we were walking away, Glimmer whispered to her friends that,'If her mother and her share a name, they must be equally slutty, tarty and stupid.'. Katniss got very angry.". Rue tells her. Mrs Mellark nods. " Thank you Rue. Could you wait outside the door for a moment? I have to speak to Katniss.". Rue nods, and skips out if the room. The door swings shut, and Mrs Mellark clears her throat.
" Katniss. I know about your Mother. And, it's understandable that Glimmer would make you... angry.". I smirk.
" But, I would advise you to try and keep your actions civil when around Glimmer.". She continues. I roll my eyes.
She sighs, and goes to start writing on a slip if paper. " You are dismissed". She says. I sigh, and walk out of the room, hands on hips.
I spot Rue sitting in a plush, red chair, swinging her legs. She smiles when she see's me. " Ok! Let's go!". And before I know it, Rue has grabbed my hand, and is dragging me at top speed through the school.
I'm just gonna end it there, as this chapter seems to take ages! So, yeah :P
I might not upload till later this week, but see if you push that pretty little review button? It might make me write faster ;)
