Katniss POV
My stepdad, Plutarch, opens my bedroom door, comes in, and opens the blinds. Unexpectedly, I hiss like a snake and bury my head in my nest of pillows.
My mother remarried after my father died. I was only 11 years old when he was electrocuted by a fence. He died in the hospital shortly after. I was there with him, in the grassy meadow. We were trying to get a turkey for Thanksgiving. My family didn't have a lot of money at the time, so my dad taught me how to hunt. My father tried to go under the fence, into the woods, but it electrocuted him before he knew it.
My mother went into depression after he passed away, shutting the world out. She didn't bother to go to work at the pharmacy, so she was fired, leaving me, Prim, and her with zero income. Luckily, I was able to hunt very well, or my sister and I probably would've starved.
I miss you, daddy, why can't you come back?
Plutarch is a very rich man. He bought me and my younger sister, Prim, many things. I guess he wanted us to like him.
"Katniss, c'mon, get up. It's your first day of senior year!" he smiles. Finally, one more year, then it's off to college. I want to get into the District University, so I need to get extremely good grades this year.
Stumbling out of bed, I walk across my huge room into my polka dot themed bathroom. Swishing some Listerine in my mouth, I hear my iPhone 5s ding. The text is from my brother from another mother, Finnick Odair. We've known each other since preschool.
F: Hey Kat are you ready for the last year of high school?!
K: You bet I am 😝
F: I gotta go pick up Annie. See you at the tree?
K: Yeah see ya
I click my phone off. Annie Cresta is Finnick's girlfriend, also one of my best friends.
I do my make up first, dusting a shimmery white shadow on my eyelids. Putting on liquid eyeliner, I wing it out. I dab concealer over some of my face. Mascara slides over my lashes.
Brushing my hair, I put into a half-up braid. I jog into my walk-in-closet and put on my outfit (shown above).
Grabbing a granola bar from the pantry, I make my way to the garage. I back out onto the street in my grey SUV and drive to school.
I park my car in the lot and get out of my car. Some boys are already staring at me. One boy even wolf whistles. Perverts.
I walk over to the tree where my group stands, the Victors.
"Hey Katniss," the group says in almost unison. "Hey guys."
"C'mon Kitty, give Finnick a hug," Finnick says. I hug him and pull away.
"What's up?" Clove asks. Our group consists of Clove, Cato, Johanna, Glimmer, Marvel, Annie, Finnick, and me.
"Oh not much. Just excited for the last year of high school!" I smile. The bell rings and we all pull out our schedules.

I make my way down the halls to the music room. Some kid drops his water bottle, clear fluid going every which way. I slip backwards and then feel two strong arms around me. They lift me back up and I turn around. I'm looking into bright, sky blue orbs of a tall, blonde haired boy.
