Just Catching

Just Catching

Just Listen- Owen and Annabel

Catching Fire- Katniss and Prim

    It was a very hot day in District 12.  The days lately have been like this, hot, muggy, just not the way you want a day to go...and it got worse.  There was this thing called the radio the the capital was bringing in the districts.  With the radio came new people to put on the show.  These people were from the west side of North America.  “Prim, come and eat” my mother said to her.  Today was Prims first day of school.  I have been going to school for 10 years.  I am a Sophmore in High School.  Prim is in 8th grade.
     “Katniss, will you make sure Prim gets on the bus okay while i go to the market?  “Yes mom, do you think you can try to be faster this time and not talk to that man again?” “Yes Katniss”.  I walked Prim to the bus and we waited forever then if finally came and Prim got on.  Now I had to wait for my own bus.  I am on bus 4 same as the two new people that go to my high school.  One of them is on the radio station and the other just helps out.  These people are Owen and Annable.  

The bus was packed so tight barely Prims cat could walk down the center.  “Hey do you think I can sit with you?”Annable asked me and the first thing that popped out of my mouth was “Ummm, yeah sure”.  “Thanks this bus is packed with people my friend, Owen, had to sit up front with the drivers kid!”  I could not figure how she just kept talking then just stopped.  I sorta wanted her to stop talking too because I was not really listening and i did not want to.

The rest of the bus ride was silent.  Besides the other people on the bus, they were talking about all sorts of stuff.  Finally we get to the school.  Since I was sitting near the back I was one of the last to get off the bus.  I saw Owen (Annable’s friend) and decided to wave but then he turned and did not see me.  I could not wait for the day to end.

THE DAY IS DONE!!!  I could not wait to pick up Prim and go home.  Change of plans.  Annable saw me try to wave to Owen and she found me walking home and she introduced me to him.  Then they invited me to go to the radio place.  I forgot what they called it, something fancy.  “Thanks but I have to pick up my little sister from the middle school.” I said because i really did and I just didn't want to say no without a reason.  “Thats perfect because Owen has a sister in the middle school also!” Annable said like it was a great chance that it would change my mind.  It did.  

“Okay, i guess it will not hurt to go see, is that okay with you?”  I wanted to make sure that that was okay with Owen before i just have my and my sister walk with the new people.  “Yeah sure its fine” Owen said like he didn't care whether I go or not.  So we picked up Prim and Owens sister.  Then walked to the radio place.

We got there and it was i was back in the Capital building.  It brought back memories I didn't want back.  Owen and Annable didn't know anything about the Hunger Games and what my family and best friend went through.  I didn't want them to know so I just played it cool.  That was the best idea I ever had to play it cool and keep walking because it is nothing like that Capital.  The people are nice and they treat you like a person not like a piece of a game.  my final word right now are...these people are going to be so great to have here.
