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.

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

The Manners family hurt her the most.
