New story! My other story is on hold so I can write this one because I have lost interest in the other one. Sorry.
No one's pov
Clove Odair was awoken to the sound of Blow Me One Last Kiss by Pink, indicating that she got a text. Her slim wrist shot out of under all the blankets swiftly, grabbing her phone before pulling it back under the pile of blankets, kind of like a frog pulling a fly to it's death. She opened the text before reading it.
Wake up, wake up, wake up! I'm going to be there in half an hour and you better be ready!
- Katniss, the one who you adore
Clove sighed at the text from her best friend, Katniss Everdeen, but got out of bed. Walking to the bathroom that was attached to her bedroom, she turned on the water to the right temperature and slowly undressed. Stepping into the warm water, she felt her muscles relax. Grabbing the Tresemme shampoo, she coated her long, dark locks. Washing it out, she grabbed the matching conditioner, repeating what she did before. After quickly rinsing her body, she stepped out of the shower and dried herself off.
Slipping back into her room, she picked out her outfit for the day. It was a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, a red tank top, and a simple black cardigan. She topped it off with a pair of red converse, her favourites.
She walked down the stairs and saw her little sister at the island in the kitchen. She walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead.
"Hi Clove." She told her older sister, but her child tongue turned all the l's into w's. Laughing at her younger sister's speech, she replied.
"Hi Cira."
Walking around to the counter, she saw a plate of pancakes, at least 15. She knew her mother didn't expect her to eat all of them, she expected her twin brother, Finnick, to gain at least 5 pounds eating all of them.
She grabbed 2 pancakes and put them on a plate. Grabbing the syrup from the fridge, she had just finished pouring it when Finnick stomped into the room, wearing only pajama pants.
Clove sat down at the island beside Cira, as Finnick grabbed the plate with all the other pancakes. He sat down and dug in.
"Finn, you look like you haven't seen food in days, when I know for a fact that you finished an entire bag of barbecue chips just last night." She told her fraternal twin.
"Hey, I'm a growing boy." He defended. Clove snorted.
"Ya, width wise."
Just as Finnick was about to reply, his phone beeped. He checked it and jumped up from his seat.
"Shit, Peeta's gonna be here in 15 minutes."
He forgot all about his pancakes, worrying more about what he was going to wear today.
He's such a girl sometimes, Clove thought.
Clove finished off her pancakes and put her plate in the sink for her mother to wash later. She heard a car horn outside and rushed to the closet. She grabbed her letterman jacket and her backpack and went outside.
Seeing Katniss parked in the driveway, she went to the passenger side and sat down. Katniss drove out of the Odair's driveway and took the well-known route from Clove's house to Panem high, the high school they attended. It was the first day of their sophomore year and they both didn't want to be late.
Arriving in the parking lot, they looked around for a spot. After finding one, they both got out and headed for the fountain, which was the place where their group of friends always met up in the mornings.
They saw that Annie Cresta was already there, same with Gale Hawthorne, who was busy throwing paper balls at Marvel Quaid. Walking over, Gale went to Katniss and picked her up in a giant bear hug.
If people saw them from afar, they would think that they were dating, but they were actually best friends. Katniss actually had a boyfriend, Peeta Mellark, and they were in love. They were practically attached at the hip.
"Sup people who I have agreed to be friends with." Shouted Johanna Mason, another one of the group. She was the school badass and nobody messed with her.
Just as Johanna sat down, Glimmer, the self-proclaimed queen bee, and her followers walked by. Glimmer was talking to a new boy, by the looks of it, and was very obviously flirting with him.
Meanwhile, at the gates, another new boy walked in the school yard. He was extremely tall and muscular, with blonde hair and icy blue eyes.
He looked on his map for the fountain, the place where his cousin told him to them. He walked to where he thought it would be and looked up. He could see the fountain, with a group of people around it. He walked over to where the group of people were watching a bronzed hair boy.
Johanna looked away from Finnick tell the story of his brand new BMX and how Clove had to rush him to the hospital and saw her cousin, Cato Ludwig. Cato locked eyes with her and she waved him over.
"Guys, this is the guy I've been telling you about, my cousin, Cato Ludwig. Say hello Sherlock." Johanna yelled to her friends and him.
"Jo, I thought I told you to stop calling me Sherlock." Cato whined.
"Never Sherlock." She turned to her friends who were confused at the nickname and explained it.
"When Cato was little, he used to solve mysteries around his house, like who ate the last cookie, and his mom would always congratulate him and call him Sherlock, so I guess the name stuck."
Everybody who was sitting at the fountain burst into laughter and Cato blushed slightly.
While Clove was laughing, she noticed Cato's slight blush and started laughing harder. Cato noticed this too, and crossed his arms. Clove could see every muscle in his arms ripple and Cato could see her staring so he smirked.
"Liking what you see there?" he asked her.
Now it was Clove's turn to blush.
Cato made his way to Clove's side and sat down. He stuck his hand out.
"The names Cato. What's yours?" She grabbed his hand and shook it.
"I'm Clove, and that is my twin brother Finnick, his girlfriend Annie, my best friend Katniss, her boyfriend Peeta, Marvel, and obviously you know Johanna."
Cato took in all the information Clove told him. But he was also taking in Clove. Her porcelain skin, her long black hair, her light blue eyes, her slender form, long, thin legs, and melodic laugh. He was thinking one thing.
I'd like to know her better.
Clove watched Cato look her over, starting to feel self-conscious. She thought Cato was attractive, but she knew he wouldn't go for her. He seemed like more of Glimmer's type, the one she could use and dispose of, then use again.
She told herself that she wouldn't let him into her heart, at least not more than friends. She couldn't let herself get hurt again, not like last time.
But Clove knew that deep inside she really wanted to know him better, like he did her.
So I hoped you liked it. I will hopefully update tomorrow. If not, by Tuesday at the latest. Please review and follow and favourite. Bye.
