The smell of hamburgers and hot-dogs being grilled wafted across campus as Prim and Rue sat under a tree. "Hey, guys." Peeta said sitting down next to them. Prim gaped at the two hamburgers on his plate that were surrounded by fries. In contrast, the girls had hamburgers, a reasonable amount of fries, and a slice of watermelon on their plates. "How are you doing?"

"Good." Prim answered. "We got our books. Gale and Katniss helped us carry them to the dorm."

"Katniss - yeah right, girl, Gale carried all those books back!" Rue yelped. Peeta chuckled.

"Well, I'm glad they have been helping you these last few days. I'm going to be at the Restaurant and Resort Management table. Do you girls know anyone on your floor interested in that?"

"Nah." Rue said. "We're in the science dorm. But we'll stop by." Prim nodded eagerly. "Are you baking a cake for them?" Peeta chuckled.

"Yeah." He replied. "How did you know?" He asked with a teasing gleam in his eye.

"Educated guess." Prim replied.

"BREADBOY!" Peeta groaned. "HEY, COME HERE!" Cato lumbered over to the group. "Peeta - my magic spice makes the ovens smoke! You gotta help me!" He pleaded frantincally.

"Cato!" Peeta groaned. "Don't tell me you tried to bake at The Frat!" Cato stammered something about brownie mix.

"I swear I only added the magic spice! I SWEAR! I kept everything else the same!" Ignoring the giggles of the two freshmen girls, Cato dropped to his knees in front of Peeta. "PLEASE, BREADBOY, PLEASE!" Their ears detected the sound of a firetruck racing by the campus.

"Too late." Peeta said. "Cato, you did turn the oven off before you ran over here, didn't you?"

"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Cato wailed flinging himself on the grass and pulling out clumps with his large fists. "Nooooooooooooooooo! MY BROWNIE MIX - My special brownies! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Well, I'd better go in case the frat burnt down." Peeta muttered. Rue and Prim giggled as they left the area leaving a sulking Cato under the tree.

Prim grinned at a girl with her dark red hair pulled back into a bun. "I'm premed." Prim explained.

"Well, a lot of people join the premed club and something else like the microbiology or chemistry club." She explained. "I'm a biochemistry major."

"Cool!" Prim answered. "When do you meet?"

"Microbiology club meets every other Tuesday at 6pm and then the premed club meets right after at 7pm." Prim nodded.

"Yeah, I"ll join micro, but I'm in agriculture." Rue explained. "You talk about plant disease too in micro?"

"Yeah. We do." The girl said. "I'm Molly Fox. Nice to meet both of you." She said shaking their hands.

"I'm the grad student advisor for the Physics club and -" Wiress, the engineering graduate student began standing next to a group of students in the central plaza.

"And we get to make things explode!" A black haired boy called. "I'm Colin and I'm VP of the Physics club! I'm shooting off a bottle rocket! Who thinks I can land it on the roof of the Student Union?" Quite a few people cheered.

"Well, be careful with the windows -" Wiress pointed out.

"We got this! Remember, you helped us figure this out last night!" Colin replied as his advisor shrugged. The students cheered as Colin shot the bottle rocket before it hit the roof with a resounding thud.

"AWESOME!" The group cheered. Prim and Rue clapped and cheered before visiting the other academic interest tables.

Once back at the dorm, Rue went to visit some girls she had met further down the hall while Prim pulled up Skype on her ipad and began a video chat with Rory. "Hey, Prim!" Rory called.

"Hi, Rory." Prim said sweetly. She smiled as Rory grinned back at her.

"How's college?"

"Good." Prim answered. "I haven't started classes, but Rue and I got our books and we've just been going to orientations and stuff."

"You'll do really well." Rory said encouragingly. "I'm just here in Rolling Green. Doing handiwork stuff like Gale did around the neighborhood. Your mom's doing good. I saw her the other day. You see Gale a lot?"

"Uhhuh." Prim said. "I saw where Gale and Katniss live." Rory looked around frantically and made a shushing noise.

"Ma doesn't know that yet!" Rory hissed.

"I don't know what?" Mrs. Hawthorne asked coming into Rory, Vic, and Posy's room with a full laundry basket.

"Um - " Rory paused.

"Rory Hawthorne!"

"Gale's living with Katniss, Ma." Rory said quickly as his ears turned bright red.

"THAT BOY SAID HE HAD A ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT!" Mrs. Hawthorne yelped.

"Um - he does." Prim said. Mrs. Hawthorne blinked as she looked into Prim's face through Rory's second-hand laptop.

"Where does Katniss sleep, Primrose?" Mrs. Hawthorne asked more gently. "I'll talk to my boy if he's making her sleep on the couch."

"She gets a bed." Prim said. With Gale. Mrs. Hawthorne nodded.

"Ma, I'm chatting with Prim!" Rory groaned as Mrs. Hawthorne began hanging clothes in the small closet and putting them in different dresser drawers - each labeled by name.

"Go on." Mrs. Hawthorne said. Rory sighed.

"Well, are you excited about classes?" Rory asked.

"Yeah. They should be really cool. I'm joining the premed club." Rory nodded. "How's Seam High?"

"Dunno. Good. Do you know if Mr. Undersee cares if you dit - I mean - didn't do the extra credit?" Rory caught himself just in time.

"I dunno. I never took AP History." Prim answered. "But I'm sure you'll do well."

"He'd better do well. Mrs. Hawthorne said piping up.

"MA!" Rory yelped.

"What, boy, I pay for the internet in this house, I get to hear what you say!" Rory groaned.

"Just wait. One more year, and if you get the Panem University scholarship, you can come here too!"

"Yeah. Then Ma will just bug Posy and Vic."

"Rory! Are these your underwear? What were they doing under your bed, boy?" Mrs. Hawthorne asked. "And what's this copy paper of Prim's yearbook picture doing in your sheets?"

"MA!" Rory yelped turning bright red before the chat session abruptly ended. Prim blushed suddenly realizing what Rory had been doing with those particular items. The session restarted with a very embarrassed Rory staring into his webcam. "Uh - I gotta help ma with the chores. I'll talk to ya later." Prim smiled.

"Talk to you later, Rory." She smiled and drew a heart in the air with her finger. Rory sighed before closing the chat session. This was turning out to be an interesting year indeed.
