A Never Ending Story ~Everlark~

The Boy With The Bread

Katniss' POV~

It's been 6 years since that boy gave me bread. That boy gave me hope. I never really experienced hope, but ever since that day, I never lost it. I can't stand this. How can anybody love like this. All for the beauty of the Games? Today is the first day back to school, so I decided to get up very early to go hunting. I can't go a day without hunting. Clears my mind and distracts me from the world.

I get up, brush my hair and put it in its usual braid, slipped on my hunting boots and put on my dads hunting jacket. I walk outside slowly to not wake Prim or Mother. I shut the door and start walking to the woods. The nice cool air refreshes myself, and I actually smile. It's nice to be doing something nice for a change.

I get to the fence and climb under the wires and start walking slowly to the woods. I go to my tree trunk where I hide my bow. I pick it up slowly as I hear branches break. I quickly lift up my bow, o lot to see a man standing outside the woods. Gale. My best friend and hunting partner.

"Easy Catnip." He says with a chuckle
"Whatever Gale." I say coldly. He knows I don't mean it.
"Wanna go in the woods? I found a bunch of squirrels. Weren't even scared of me." He says
"Yeah let's go" I say running into the woods I stop after a minute and starting walking very quietly and slow. I look in all directions when I come across and squirrel. I slowly aim my bow towards it and count in my head. 1.....2....3..and shoot. It hits it straight in the head.

"Good shot." Gale says. I stay quiet.

We hunt for a little more and decide to go back home and get ready. I get back to my house and get some what nice clothes on. A pair of jeans and a grey long sleeve shirt that matches my eyes. I wash my hair and put it back into a braid. After I'm done I wake up Prim. She doesn't budge.

"Prim wake up first day of school" I say quietly. She groans and rolls over and gets up.
"That's my little duck." I say as a I ruffle her hair. She smiles and starts getting ready. I find some bread left over from a few days ago and toast it. This is the only good thing we have here. Just a toaster. I put one on the table for prim and the other I eat.

She finishes getting ready and takes the toast with her to go. We walk to school together since it's not far. I'm actually proud of how I look. I usually wear jeans and old shirt. Now since we have been getting more clothes here in 12 I've been getting more clothes and so has Prim. She's starting middle school today. I'm really proud of her. All of her achievements and I'm mostly proud of the person she has become.

We get to school, I kiss her goodbye and walk in. I see all of my familiar classmates and walk to my first class. If I haven't told you already, I have no friends. Not because of how I look or anything, people are just scared of me. It hurts a bit but I don't care. I have gale that's all I need. First period is English. Yay. I walk in and find a seat in the second row from the back. I see a boy who looks very familiar, blue eyes, blonde curly hair...
