I wake up to buttercup meowing.
"Buttercup! I was having a good dream, you ruined it!" He just meows in response. I hear yelling downstairs. What's going on? I slowly get out of bed and tiptoe downstairs. I stand at the bottom of the stairs and listen to the yelling in the lounge.
"You left us in the dark for 5 years I'm sick of it!" Katniss yells.
"I missed your father too much!" Mother shouts.
"SO DID WE, BUT WE DIDNT GIVE UP LIKE YOU!" now Katniss is screaming.
I'm shocked. Yes, they have fought about this before but Katniss never screamed at mother.
"FINE KATNISS GO PACK YOUR BAGS AND GET OUT!" mother is also screaming now. Wait, she's kicking Katniss out?
"FINE! BUT IM TAKING PRIM WITH ME!" the room goes silent, nows my chance to ask what's going on. I walk into the room slowly and they both look at me.
"Katniss? What's going on?" I ask.
"Prim, we aren't living here anymore, I'm sorry. Pack your bags, I'll find us a place to stay." Katniss answers. I can see she's guilty of bringing me into this but, honestly I dont care. Katniss has done so much for me, mother has just sat there starting at the fireplace.
"Okay!" I reply enthusiastically. Mother probably thinks I hate her, and if she does, shes right. I do hate her. We almost starved to death If it weren't for Katniss and her job as a pizza deliverer.
I run upstairs to my bedroom and barge in, buttercup is lying on my bed. Wait! I cant leave buttercup, I love him too much.
"Prim, I know you love buttercup so he can come I guess!" Katniss yells. It's like She can read my mind sometimes. She hates buttercup so much though, how can she cope with him now? Oh who cares. I pack my clothes, my hairbrush and hair bobbles. I pull my backpack onto my shoulders and I pick up buttercup and barge out my bedroom and sprint downstairs. Katniss has two backpacks one is a lavender shade of purple with spots all over it and it's over her shoulders like mine, her other is a dark foresty green that shes holding in her hand.
"Ready to go little duck?" She gives me a small smile.
"Yes!" I answer. Mother walks into the room and trys to give me a hug but I push her off.
"Your not our so called 'mother' anymore so dont touch us, look at us, or speak to us again. " Katniss says coldly.
"Exactly." I agree. Katniss takes my free hand and we walk out the door.
"Theres a boarding school in district
Two, we will go there tomorrow, I called Haymitch when you were packing, he has two spare rooms for us to stay in for the night." Katniss says. Haymitch is our uncle, he is only a few blocks away, but we never go there because of how drunk he is.
"So we will go to uncle Haymitch for tonight, then go to district two in the morning?" I ask.
"Yeah, uncle Haymitch is coming with us. He needs money and 'wants to take care of us' so he's signing up for a job at the boarding school. " She answers.
"What job? Janitor? Chef?" I ask curiously.
Katniss is silent a minute.
"Maths teacher. " she replies. I burst into laughter. How can uncle Haymitch be a math teacher? He's drunk all the damn time
"U-uncle Haymitch? A maths teacher?" I stutter, still laughing.
"Yes." She laughs.
We arrive at uncle Haymitchs house and Katniss hesitantly knocks, probably making sure she can cope with uncle Haymitch. The door opens.
"Hi, sweetheart," He greets Katniss.
He looks at me "and sweetheart 2.0, nice to see you both." I dont think he's drunk, he's actually talking normally.
"Well, come in." He says. We walk in, it smells like alcohol and theres bottles of liquor all over the floor.
"You need to get this cleaned, it smells horrible!" I say, he stares at me for a minute.
"Ok, ok. I would, but what's the point if we're going to district two tomorrow and not coming back?" He finally replies.
"Oh, that's true, sorry uncle Haymitch." I say. I feel so guilty saying that to him, I just came in and I'm calling his house horrible.
"We're good, your sister used to say that all the time." He says reassuringly. I smile. Uncle Haymitch motions for us to follow him, so we do. He takes us upstairs to a room and opens it. The room has white walls with a pastel pink princess bed.
"This is yours, kiddo." He says smiling at me.
"Thank you!" I smile and hug him. After I finally come put from embracing him I run into my room and start to unpack my pyjamas. I hear a knock on my bedroom door. Who is it?
"Come in!" I yell. The door slowly opens, Katniss.
"Hi, Prim. How are you settling?" She asks sweetly.
"Good, You?" I smile.
"Good. Don't get too happy here though, we're leaving in the morning." She replies.
"I won't." I smirk.
"See you in the morning little duck." She says.
"See you." I say.
Katniss leaves the room and closes the door behind her.
I turn around and get my sleeveless sunny yellow pyjama top on and my white snow leopard pyjama bottoms on. I take out my plaits from my hair and get in bed.
I can't wait for tomorrow, I know I'll make friends with as easy as a click of a button, but Katniss is not good at friends, shes really stubborn. Really. But she can stick with me until she finds friends, if she finds friends. But seriously. Katniss is better at enemies than friends! Wait, now that I think about it, we have dorms, what if I get a different dorm than Katniss?
I stop thinking about the school and drift off to sleep.
