I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing.

I kept on ignoring it for 5 minutes until I found out it would not stop ringing.

"HELLO!," I practically yelled harshly somewhat annoyed.

"Yes, is this Katniss Everdeen," A woman said in a strange accent.

"Yes this me, Katniss Everdeen," I responded.

"My name is Effie, I would like to tell you have been accepted to Panem Capitol High School," she said excitedly. I was not really thinking of going to college, so I must deny the offer.

"Umm...How can I say this, I was not thinking of going to college because first of all I don't really have enough savings on my college fund account sec-"

"Oh don't worry Ms. Everdeen, don't really worry about the money, Principal Snow has everything under control about the money problem. However, think about it, being in Panem Capitol High School is a very rare privilege and it does not happen to any other teenager. This might be your only chance. Have a good day Ms. Everdeen," Effie said and hang up.

Should I really go? I mean since I was a little girl I have dreamed of going to Panem C. High School but now, I don't really want to go. I don't want to leave Prim and my mom alone.

I already have a life in District 12 with my Prim and my mother and my boyfriend Gale . Me and Gale have been hanging out for about 1 year and a half. He is sweet but whenever jealousy takes over he gets so violent.

A month ago I went hunting and he thought that since I was not with him, I must have been smooching around with some guys. When I went back home he was waiting for me outside the door, mad. He threw my bow and arrows and held me tight by my arms. He slapped me harshly and threw me on the ground.

"YOU CHEATER!," he said in a very harsh voice.

"W-What?! I-I was not che-cheating on you," I said barely audible. I was shaking just like a chihuahua because I feared the most might happen. He might brake up with me after all of these marvelous times together.

He wasn't mad anymore. He was furious. He left because he knew he might do something that he would probably regret.

The next day he acted like if nothing ever happened.

Panem C. High School is very fancy place full of luxurious items. I have even heard they have a boutique and a jewelry store inside. It is filled with delicious food. Well, that is what my friend Madge sais since her mom went there when she was young and told everything about it. About the food, about the fancy rooms, technology, sports, clothes, accessories, and most of all, about the huge size of the building.

I am 16 and have went to poor high schools near by that are very filthy. This high school is mostly recommended for rich and wealthy people but however, poor people go to them too. It only depends on your grades and how intelligent you are.

Once you graduate from high school, you have the choice to join Panem Capitol College to, or as people called it, the PC College.

But the only bad news is that Panem C. high school is all the way to the capitol.

But I can't lose this opportunity to have a better life for me and my family.

I changed into some jeans and a spagetti strapped green shirt with some leather boots. I braided my hair but decided to put a ponytail on instead.

I quickly ran downstairs with a grumbling tummy. Unfortunately, Buttercup was blocking my path.

"Get out you stupid cat," I tell him. He does not move and hisses at me.

I kicked him out of my way and walked towards the kitchen. I wished I should have burned him instead, it would have been much quicker than drowning him.

In the kitchen, I find Prim eating rice and beans and my mother in the corner, staring off into space. I feel sad for her but yet, my dad died years ago and she is still suffering about it. It's time to move on don't you think?

"Hi Prim," I say as I hug my lovable sister.

"Hi Katniss, Wow! Finally you got rid of that braid," Prim says with a smile as she takes a mouthful of rice from yesterday's leftovers.

"Was it that bad?," I question her. I went on the counter and served myself some beans and rice.

"No, but I kind of got tired of it by seeing you with the same looks everyday. Anyways you look happy, Why?," Prim asks curiously.

"Well, mom," I said. My mom looked at me. Prim looked curious.

"Well, I have been accepted to Panem Capitol University!,"
