Chapter 8

Back in the day, if her brothers even hinted at something, Katniss would freak out and do whatever they said.

But this time? Nah, she wasn't having it. No matter what her brothers threw at her, Katniss stood her ground. Nobody knew what had changed.

Oliver stormed over, yelling at Katniss, "Look at Clara, she's got her act together, and here you are, getting people to mess with her. Katniss, you're a disgrace to the Manners family!" Everyone looked at Katniss like she couldn't even breathe right.

Hearing all this crap, Katniss felt a pang in her chest.

She used to crave family warmth, but what did she get in return?

The Manners family hurt her the most.

Katniss lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not apologizing for something I didn't do."

Oliver was about to blow a gasket.

The once obedient Katniss had turned into this? He was totally lost.

"Dad, I'm fine. Katniss is my sister, I won't hold it against her," Clara said, then turned to Katniss, "Come on, apologize to Dad, cook a nice meal, and this will all blow over." Clara kept defending Katniss, acting like she'd rather suffer herself than let Katniss be embarrassed.
