"Mom! It's the first day of school and I don't want to be late!" Katniss's daughter shouts from downstairs as Katniss puts on her work uniform, Katniss works as a waitress at a local restaurant but she's no ordinary mom, she got pregnant with her daughter at eighteen and Willow is now twelve but has grown up with no father, she doesn't even know what he looks like due to her mother keeping pictures of him locked away in a box in her closet, through Willows entire childhood she's always tried to get it open so she could get at least a glimpse of a picture of her father but she always gets caught by her mother and till this day Willow still doesn't know why her mother doesn't want her seeing a picture of her dad, even though it's all Willow wants.
Katniss decided to stay in her hometown when she found out about being pregnant and with the help of her parents she was able to get an apartment that she still lives in today with Willow, Katniss thinks about Willows father almost all the time, they were both so in love, in fact they were so in love that they planned a future together but of course every relationship had it's difficulties, Peeta was chosen to go to a college that was across the country and they would've had to have a long distance relationship which they weren't sure they could've done and so Katniss had done the most hardest thing she's ever done, she broke them off thinking that it would've been better for them but what she didn't know was the baby that was already growing inside her. She hadn't found out for sure till the day after Peeta had left and she cried, every day and every night because she knew that she had to let Peeta go completely, she didn't want him to be tied down by a pregnant girlfriend when he could be getting somewhere and so she kept Willow a secret from everyone that knew Peeta just thinking that it was best.
Katniss pulls up to Willows school, Willow is in 7th grade which is just unable to process for Katniss, she doesn't want her daughter growing up too fast but she knows someday she'll have to let her go, Katniss watches as her daughter looks at the school nervously
"This place looks bigger than middle school..." She trails off making Katniss sigh
"I know it's scary sweetie but I promise that if you walk in there with your head held high and be the amazing and stubborn girl you are then you'll be just fine. Don't forget, you're my daughter" Katniss encourages and Willow smiles, they both embrace each other before they both say goodbye. After Katniss leaves Willow is able to have time to look around her school, find her locker and classes before the day starts. Willow is in her second class of the day which is art and she knows she's going to love it due to her passion towards art, the girls all giggle at the new teacher because of how good looking but Willow was never fazed, Willow sits next to her best friend and they discuss what they did in the Summer, Willow goes on about how she went on a family holiday with her mom and grandparents to Hawaii, her best friend Jessica then tells her how she went to California to Disneyland and they're interrupted by the teacher starting the class
"Good morning boys and girls! I'm Mr Mellark and I just moved here this Summer, now as I call the roll please say if you're here then I can mark you here" Mr Mellark introduces but gets distracted when he spots the girl who looks so much like the woman he once knew, his first ever love but he doubts that Katniss even still lives here but his confusion grows as he calls her name out
"Willow Everdeen?" He calls out, she calls out saying that she's here but all Peeta can do is stare at this girl before him who looks so much like Katniss but he chooses to let it go.... didn't Katniss have a sister? He thought maybe that's her sisters kid and maybe.... that's a sign saying I could get her sister to tell me where Katniss is he thought again. Peeta has started the class and teaching everyone the basics of drawing sketches, once he thinks they at least have an idea on how to do it he sets a small dog statue in the centre of where his students where sitting so that they can start, everyone asks for his help when they're stuck but only one of the students hasn't asked for help and so he walks over, looking over her shoulder he watches as she draws the statue, she has even drawn the students around it who she can see, Peeta is extremely impressed
