I wake up to loud banging on my bedroom door. And Prim is screaming. I groan, loudly, sitting up straight. "Alright! Alright! I'm up Prim, damn!" I hear her small giggle from behind my door.
"You better be, I made pancakes!" She shouted back. I hear her little feet running away then. In that moment I am so glad I locked my door the night before. Today I am going to a new school where I know no one. I've never really had friends honestly but, I've wanted them. I'm just not a people person. I, Katniss Everdeen, am afraid of letting people in. Shaking my head, I walk in the bathroom and get ready; showering, getting dressed in snug blue jeans, a sunset orange top, and my father's old hunting jacket. Not because I think it's stylish, but because I love it. I then put on a pair of hidden wedged sneakers with green laces. I put my hair in a simple braid over one shoulder and head out the door after grabbing my keys, bag and phone. Flip phone. Don't judge me. Wait....who am I talking to? I think this as I grab an apple from the bowl on our island and start to head outside. "Katnissss." I hear Prim whine from behind me.
"Prim I gotta go, I'm already late, I'll eat them later.Love you!" I run out before she can say anything else. Yeah, she's gonna be pissed when I get home. But I have enough stuff to worry about. I hop on my motorcycle and pray that today will be different.

I park in an empty space near to the school. Apparently I wasn't late, school here started at 8:30. So I was actually early. Oops. As I got off my bike, I noticed people staring at me. I took my helmet off, walking quickly, I get up the front steps, through the front doors, and to the front office to get my time table. When I get it, I find my locker, 123. I smile at how weird that is. I put my helmet in then lock it back. I go to turn and walk smack into another girl. "Oh I'm so sorry..." I trail off when I see how pissed this girl looks. Shit. She shoves me, hard, into my own locker. And I notice two girls behind her.
"Can you believe this newbie walked right into me? You're the one that's invisible, not me." She hisses, her friends laughing on cue.
"Never said you were invisible." I reply, my blood boiling. "I have bigger things on my mind then some stuck up, daddy's girl who probably doesn't know how the fuck to spell Orange!" I shout, shoving her from me looking shocked. I may be quiet. But I am not someone to be bullied. "I don't know who you are and I don't care. I just want to get to my classes." That's when she slaps me. My vision actually turns red. Blood red. I go to punch her and her friends hold me back against my locker. The head bitch with curly blond hair, slaps me again. I buck and kick. I know people can see this. Suddenly, the arms holding me back are gone. But before I could beat the living shit out of that Real World reject, a pair of arms wrap tight around my small waist.
"Back off Shimmer, go paint your nails or some shit!" A girl that looks alot like the blonde bitch (I have decided that will be her name to me) shouts at her before shoving her away. As she flips my savior off and turns to leave, the red in my eyes disappears. I take a deep breath.
"Whoever's holding me back, can let go now." I reply. The person lets me go. I turn to see a girl with short black hair. She was tall, and pretty. I take a step back and slip in my new shoes, landing on my ass. The girls, I notice now their are like five of them, burst out laughing. At me. I scowl. Okay it was kinda funny.
"You alright, brainless?" the tall black haired girl asks. I get to my feet and scowl at her.
"Just dandy," I say sarcastically, wiping dust off my ass. "Who are you guys, anyway?" Before they could answer, a group of rowdy boys comes running toward us, staring at me. Oy.
"This the new girl?" One of them, with bright blonde hair and sea green eyes asks.
"Yeah, had to save her ass from Shimmer and her lackeys." The blond girl who looks like the blond bitch replies. This bugs me.
"Well, actually..." I get interrupted.
"Cant believe you two are related." One of the guys who could be my brother, with gray eyes, olive skin, and dark hair.
"Can someone explain...." I try again.
"She cant fight alone, wimp." Comments another blonde girl but in a different way. So many damn blonds that I don't have names for!
"EXCUSE ME!" I shout, they turn to me. "I have no idea who you guys are." I state plainly irritated.
"Whoa, kitty got claws." Comments the green eyed dude. He then offers his hand, I shake it awkwardly. "I'm Finnick." He points to a red head I hadn't noticed till now. "That's Annie." The way he says it sounds like he thinks highly of her. Maybe their dating.
"I'm Johanna ." The tall girl with dark hair says.
"I'm Gale," the guy who looks like me says next.
"Glimmer, sorry about my sister." Shimmer and Glimmer. Seriously?
"Cato." A guy in the back calls. Another blond guy.
"Marvel, but you can call me Marv." He had hair almost darker than mine. Finally. Soon I know all their names. Finnick, Annie, Johanna (or Jo), Gale, Glimmer, Cato, Marvel, Clove, Delly, Thresh, and some guy named Peeta. He wasn't with them yet though.
"What classes do you have?" Annie asks me smiling.
"Uh," I look down "Art."
"Me two." She smiles bigger, she seems really nice. I smile back.
"All the girls do, Annie," Jo replies dryly.
"Peeta has it to," she seems confused.
"I said all the girls." She smirks as she says this. The guys crack up.
"So, I'm a girl now, huh?" A voice so sweet, it was like sugar on my tongue calls from behind me. I turn to see a guy, about 6 foot, with dirty blond hair, blue eyes, and was now wearing a smirk. I blink up at him.
"If he's a girl then I'm pretty girl." Finnick says in a high pitched voice. Everyone bursts out laughing, including the Adonis before me. I snort and he grins.
"Whose the new girl." He asks, looking directly at me. They get quiet. Right, I never told them.
"Katniss." I reply.
"Catnip?" Gale asks from behind me.
"No you moron, she said Catpiss." Finnick responds.
"Katniss!" I say louder glaring at them, they snicker.
"Beautiful name." He replies, smiling at me. I feel a blush creep up to my cheeks and I turn away. Jo is pretending to puke. I raise an eyebrow at him. "For a beautiful girl." this time I laugh.
"How corny are you?" I ask, my hands on my knees. I look up to see him scratching the back of his neck. I stop then. "Sorry. Thanks." I say quickly, playing with the strap on my bag.
"Anytime." The bell rings and the girls and Peeta start walking. I notice he's wearing hugging black jeans, a tight blue T shirt and a leather jacket. I watch him walk, dazed. Wow. He's hot.
"Don't bother. He's a player." Delly whispers in my ear as we walk.
"Oh. Wasn't planning on it." I say back. That's the last thing I need, boy drama.
So, what did you guys think? Did it suck? Give me you're thoughts. Love ya!
