Katniss' dad is in the military, how will she deal with a new school and new friends?
I'm rubbish at descriptions.
The mature rating is on because I mention anxiety and depression throughout. I'll try and put trigger warnings before but incase I fo...
The alarm beeped loudly, stiring me from my not so peaceful slumber. It's 5 am, way too early to be up if you ask me. School didn't start until 8:55, but I had a horse to feed.
I quickly threw a hoodie on over my pajamas and put my jodhpur boots on. I didn't care what I looked like at the yard, as most people where in their pajamas at this time.
I got in my car and drove the 5 minute drive to the yard. I went my horse, Pablo's, stall.
"Morning Pabs." I whispered and got a soft nicker in reply.
I tied his hay net up and put his soaked sugerbeet in the manger on his stall door.
Pablo is an 9 year old Thoroughbred cross Oldenberger gelding standing at 16.3 hh. He's a deep bay with white markings on his sides.

When I got home I realised it was only 5:45. I still had a few hours before school started, but I knew I wouldn't get back to sleep even if I tried. I was too nervous to start a new school.
My dad's in the military so we move around a lot. When I say we I mean my dad, my mum, my younger sister Primrose and of course Pablo came with me everywhere I went.
My dad had been given a permanent base and would be deployed over seas soon, so this would be our last move for at least 2 years. Making me all the more nervous, if I was to stay here, I had to make a good first impression.
When it got to 7 I woke Primrose up. We'd be going to the same school now as she was in Year 7, a high school student. I was in my final year, so I didn't have to endure hell for too long.
Prim and I quickly got dressed into our school uniform and I straightened my lilac and mint green hair (pictured at the top) I'd always loved having my hair unnatural colours, it was a way to express myself. Plus the looks I got off of people where hilarious.
As soon as I was ready I went downstairs, to find Prim waiting for me.
We got into my car and ivould tell she was nervous.
"Everything will be fine Prim. I promise." I said, pulling out of the drive way.
"I know. Anyways, how is Pablo dealing with the move? Buttercup isn't too happy about it." Prim asked.
"He's munching happily on his hay. He's gotten used to the moving so he's settled in well. "
The rest of the journey was in silence.
When we got to the school we went straight to reception, where the annoyingly chirpy receptionist, Miss Trinket gave us our time tables and a map of the school. Since I'm in Year 11 I had to wear a lanyard with my picture and name on it.
Soon after the bell rang, Prim and I went our separate ways to form.
I was the last to show up as I got lost on my way. My form tutor introduced me to the class and told me to sit at a table with three guys in it.
They all smiled at me warmly and introduced themselves as Pollux, Messalla and Castor. I introduced myself and Mr Abernathy took took the register.
After the register Castor asked " So what do you do outside of school?"
"I own a horse so he keeps me pretty busy." I replied as the bell rang.
As I was leaving the room Pollux said; " If you want to hang out with us at breaks and lunches we're pretty much always in front of the library with our friend Cressida."
I nodded my head in thanks before heading to first period.
A/N I hope you guys like it. Anyways tell me if Ishould carry on.
