Finding a dandelion in the snow

Chapter 1: The beginning

Chapter 1

Katniss P.O.V.

First day of senior year. Finally! I've been waiting for so long. It's finally here.

My mother wakes me up, talking gently to me. I wake up with a weird feeling in my stomach. Is this a special day? Or is it just another day during summer vacation? No it's my first day in senior year. My last year of high school.

I jump out of bed feeling the excitement taking over my body, inch by inch as I make my way to my bathroom. I do my my makeup carefully and I pick out the perfect outfit, green skinny jeans and a wine red blouse. I hear the door to my bedroom open slightly.

I put my clothes on the bed and turn around to face my little brother. Gabriel Christopher Keiden Everdeen. He just turned seven this past June and is very proud to not be six anymore. His dark hair is messy, he doesn't like to comb it, he has a pair of jeans and a simple black t-shirt. He has green socks on his feet. With a smile his head peek into my room, his big gray eyes glistening in the light of my crystal chandelier. His nose is slightly wrinkled in a very cute way.

"Mommy says that it's breakfast", he says.

"Okay little man, I'll be right down", I tell him.

He giggle, nod his head, and closes my door again.

I quickly get dressed and drag a brush trough my messy hair. I let it fall in waves over my shoulders and put my sunglasses on top of my head. I grab my phone and keys and put them in my bag. On my feet I put my favorite black pumps.

I take my bag and walk down the stairs and towards the kitchen, from where I can hear loud noises.

I hear a small bark from Felix, who sounds just like that when someone is teasing him and doesn't give him his candy. It was a small bark, a bark where he tries to sound like a puppy.

I enter the kitchen where my mother is standing by the stove, making pancakes, my father reading the newspaper, Gabriel watching how my sister, Primrose Christina Everly Everdeen, is teasing Felix. She's dangling a piece of candy above his nose and he is whining and looking at her with pleading eyes. That dog loves and lives for his candy.

"Primrose, stop teasing the poor dog and give him the candy", my father says, looking up from the newspaper.

Prim looks up at dad, looking slightly annoyed. "Prim dad", she says and throws the candy up in the air and Felix jumps to catch it, making Gabriel laugh and applaud before he starts to pet Felix.

"You know I don't like nicknames for my girls who has beautiful names", dad says folding the newspaper. "You'll always only be Primrose to me".

"And I'll always be Katniss and not Kit to you", I point out walking towards the table.

"And the sunshine in our lives", dad says with a big smile. "You are so right".

Christopher Everdeen, more known as Chris, is a silly man. But a loving husband and a wonderful father. Everyone says I could have been a copy of my father if only I chopped off my long hair and didn't have breasts. Prim is a copy of our mother and Gabriel a mix of our parents. Our dads dark hair, gray eyes and nose, even the jaws, but the shape of his eyebrows and lips, his cheeks and the length of his eyelashes is all mom.

Carolina Everdeen, is a beautiful and loving woman. Always thinking of everyone else, always helping others and her cooking is delicious.

Primrose Everdeen, is a thirteen year old and full of life, always enjoying an adventure and very fond of doctors.

Gabriel Everdeen, is a seven year old and always happy. His dimples can enchant whom ever is watching him laugh and he loves our dog endlessly as he does the rest of our family. He is a love giver and doesn't expect to get it back the same way he give it to everyone else.
