Mockingjay High: An Everlark Story

Chapter Twelve: The Rules

CHAPTER TWELVE.
-
••Katniss's POV••

Fencing with Peeta was fun. We learned a lot of defensive skills which is what we went for, but we also used some attacking skills that might come in handy.

When we arrive at the school for the tributes meeting, Peeta gets out of thw car, goes around to my side and opens the door for me.

What a gentleman, I think, my gentleman. I smile to myself.

"What are you smiling about?" Peeta questions as he holds out his hand for me to take.

"Oh nothing really, just how lucky I am to have you." I reply, taking his hand.

We walk into the school, hand in hand, and walk down the the hall, into Snow's office. As we walk in all of our friends except Finnick and Annie give us an evil stare.

"God. Principal Snow sure knows how to turn friends on each other." I whisper to Peeta.

"They'll come around. Don't worry about it." Peeta says, giving my hand a little, reassuring squeeze.

We go and take the only seats left, in the back, left corner of the room. Just then Prinicpal Snow walks in.

"Attention tributes, listen up!" Snow says with a hint of evil in his voice and the room goes silent. Then he continues, "As many of you know you will transported to an arena tomorrow for the Hunger Games. The students at Mockingjay High are required to watch it during the day at school and during the night at home. The last person standing, when everyone else can't move after being beaten, is the victor. Any questions?" Snow asks

Nobody raises their hand.

"Good than that's all settled. A car will be at your houses to pick you up at 4:00 AM sharp. Don't hold them up. That will be all you may be dismissed." Snow says as he exits the room.
