Catching Princesses

District 11

(This one's shorter)

A 14-year-old girl sat on the porch of her house, sighing. She had jet black hair cut in a hideous haircut, with a red bowtie glittering in the sunlight as it caught the sun's rays.

She wore a pretty blue-yellow dress that hugged her body and showed her petite stature.

(is that even a word? (This entire thing doesn't make sense))

(What was I even thinking of when I wrote this)

She had on a bright smile and she whistled. Almost immediately, a mockingjay appeared from the trees, repeating her whistle.

"Snow!" Someone called out. It was Snow's friend, Dopey.

Dopey was quite short for his age. Today, he wore a green shirt and pants that reminded Snow of vomit.

(ew)

Snow waved at Dopey, "Hey Dopey!"

Dopey waved back, "Snow! Why are you sitting on the porch?"

"Mother blamed me for her missing necklace" Snow replied

"Oh. Did you do anything to it?"

"Duh. I love messing with the old woman" Snow smiled, "I don't think she noticed I hid her Apple tree"

"You hid what now?" Dopey sighed, "How?"

"Oh you know" Snow got up, "I paid someone to dig a hole right below the tree and bury it."

"You have issues. Did you do anything else?"

"What? No."

Dopey looked at Snow's pale face. Probably a result of iron deficiency because no one can have skin that white.

"Snow."

"Dopey."

"C'mon Snow, I know you well enough to recognise that smile"

Snow sighed, "I may or may not have paid MM to tell Mother I was prettier than her"

(Magic Mirror but she's human)

(Took me a second to realise who that was because I completely forgot)

Dopey gasped, "Snow!"

"What?!"

"You know how insecure your mother is about her looks!"

"Well, she should. If I looked like her I'd be insecure as hell too."

"This is why your Father left you."

(Oof)

"He didn't leave! He just went to milk the cows."

(💀)

Dopey's eye twitched.

"Snow. We don't have any cows in District 11"

"We don't? But what about Mo-"

Dopey interrupted her. "Finish that sentence and I'm leaving"

"-ther" Snow finished.

Dopey took a deep breath, turned around and left.

"And the female tribute for District 11 is..." The announcer, a man named Hunts (Huntsmen) yelled, "Snow White!"

"Huh?!" Snow choked.

But how? I removed every single slip of paper with my name! Snow looked at her mother, who was smirking in the corner and praising the good lord for taking this burden of a daughter off her hands.

"And the male tribute of District 11 is..." Hunts opened a slip of paper "Bash Dwarfson!"

(Bashful)

Bash?! Snow's face turned even whiter, which isn't possible but imagine it is for the sake of this. Dopey's brother?!

No one visited Snow because why not?

God, I'm freezing. My door opened by itself a few minutes ago and I literally jumped out of my chair, threw my laptop down and panicked cause I'm supposed to be asleep. Luckily I managed to close the lights before my younger sister appeared out of nowhere like the genie she is.

I'm turning into an ice cube help.

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone else just like use a calculator for the stupidest questions ever? Like part of the question would say something like 50-20 and I'd still use a calculator.

A few weeks ago, I was on a school trip and I bought pancakes to eat cause I was hungry. And I paid in cash.

Anyway. I got my change back and spent over 10 minutes contemplating if I got an extra coin, the exact amount of money, or a coin less. And I still don't know.

A/N is a week old from when I originally wrote it. Bold Italics is from now.
