Fifteen ~ Results Day

Three Months Later:

Katniss' POV-

It was the day in which we found out if all the hard work we had put in paid off, or if it was just all a waste of time in the end.

I was actually feeling rather nervous and I was apprehensive about opening the envelope which would determine where I went after this.

My entire future was now based on whether or not I had passed Year 11. 

A set of exam results was all that now stood between me and the future which I wanted; I wanted to go to college and I just wanted to get on with my life now.

Johanna hadn't really spoken to me since everything which happened between me and her a couple of months ago - she caught me having a drunken kiss with Marvel, which inevitable led to the breakdown of mine and Peeta's relationship, which then led to an unsortable division in the group.

I was stuck with Marvel, Gale and Glimmer while Cato, Clove, Peeta and Johanna formed their own group.

So, to say things have been awkward would really be an understatement.

"Good luck today Katniss. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about." my mother smiled at me before I walked out of the door, and it gave me a small sense of hope that everything was going to be OK because my mother had actually wished me luck; the one thing she never did before today.

"I hope so mum. I hope so." I replied quietly.

"If your father was still here, then he would be so proud of you now. You know that, right?" 

"I know mum, and that's all I want to do. Make the both of you proud." I said and then I took the walk towards school, it suddenly seeming longer to walk than it had ever done in the time since I started there.

I don't know if that's because I was going to find out where my life is going, or wheter it's because I've got to face the entire group again for the first time in just over a month, or whether it's just because something in me hoped I would come across Peeta on the way and he'd actually want to talk to me now.

I still loved him, more than anything, I loved him.

But he wants nothing to do with me after I shattered his heart in millions of unbreakable pieces by cheating on him with someone who was supposed to be his best friend.

So it's hardly surprising that he wants nothing to do with me and he can't stand to be in the same room as me for longer than five minutes, sometimes even less than that.

"Alright Kat?!" I heard someone shout from behind me, and I turned to see Glimmer running towards me with a grin on her face.

"Yeah, just a bit nervous, and you?" I smiled back at her.

"Same here. I've spent the last week thinking of nothing other than what I'm going to do if I've failed my exams, and none of the options are something which I even want to do." Glimmer sighed and I immediately felt sorry for her because she already thought she had messed everything up and that she had failed, so I really do hope she had passed, otherwise she was going to spend the rest of her life working at her parent's training centre.

"Don't worry Glim, I'm sure you did amazing." I reassure her as the school begins coming into view.

I can feel the sick rising towards my throat as I wonder whether or not I actually did enough to be able to pass.

My palms fill with sweat as the nerves kick in, only hitting me a lot stronger than they previously were.

My head clouds with thoughts of negativity and I find it next to impossible to think that there is even the slightest chance I passed my exams, esepcially since my head was all over the place when we had to sit half of the papers.
