~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~time flash to homeroom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clove POV:
I walk into homeroom and sit in my usual spot, the back of the room isolated from everyone. Ever since Cato and I broke up and Gale left me for Madge, I've hadn't had any friends in this homeroom. I have no homework to work on, so I just sit there and play on my phone.
After a few minutes a hear the chair next to me scout out from it's place. I look up startled. I see that it's Madge. I turn in my chair to face the window. I don't want to see her.
"Clove, look at me. I have something to tell you," Madge says.
"What?" I say harshly.
"I was talking to Delly," she whispers. I roll my eyes at the name. "Apparently, she is faking the whole pregnancy thing. She just wanted to get Cato." I just stare at her in disbelief. This can't be true.
"You're so lying," I say.
"I swear that I am not lying to you," she whispers.
"Why would you be telling this to me? Do you think it's funny if I told Cato and he made me look like a fool? I'm not falling for it," I say. I'm actually offended that she thinks I'm stupid enough to fall for this.
"Here's the thing, Delly literally just told me, I hate the fact she took him from you, and this is one of the worst lies you could tell. That is why I'm telling you," Madge says quietly. "I will look you in the eyes and swear to God that I am not lying."
"Okay then, do it," I say smugly.
"I swear to God that I am not lying to you. Now go get Cato back," Madge says.
"No way. He cheated on me and I don't want to talk to him unless I have to. Now get away from me," I say. She smiles and walks away. I actually believe Madge. She is one of the most honest people in this school. Most of the time it's not a good thing, she can be too honest if you know what I mean. If it is true, Delly is sick. I hate her even more now.
I look over and see Delly walk back into the classroom. She goes over to Cato, Madge, and Gale and sits down in their little circle thing. The bell rings and I'm glad to get out of this hell hole.
Peeta POV:
I walk out of my homeroom with Katniss and Annie. No one knows where Glimmer is. I haven't seen her since Lunch. I walk to my locker and pack up. Katniss comes over to me and we walk outside. I see Johanna going over to Finnick and Annie. Katniss and I go passed the office and I see Glimmer sitting there with her mom.
"Was that Glimmer?" Katniss asks.
"I think so. Why was she in the office?" I ask. Katniss shrugs. We get outside and go to where our group usually meets. Well, what's left of it. I think that means Clove, Glimmer, Katniss, and me for sure. I'm not positive on where Marvel, Finnick, and Johanna stand. Finnick, Annie, and Johanna are already there and Clove is no where to be found.
"Where's Clove?" Annie asks. I scan around me and see her talking to Delly. What did I miss?
"She's talking to Delly," I say.
"What? Where? Is she screaming at her?" Johanna says looking around excitedly.
"Right there, in front of the steps. She looks pissed. She being Clove," I say pointing in the direction of the steps.
"This is going to be interesting when she tells us what's going on," Johanna says laughing.
"Yeah," I say. Clove starts running over to us. "Hey, what was that about?"
"Nothing," Clove says bitterly.
"Ok, let's go," Katniss says.
"Where's Glimmer?" Clove asks.
"Katniss and I saw her in the office. Her mom was here. I have no idea why though," I say.
"That's weird," Annie says.
"Great, I have no way home. This has turned out to be a great day," Clove says.
"You can ride home with me," Katniss says.
"Thank you," Clove says gratefully.
"What time should we meet at your house, Katniss?" Finnick asks.
"Umm, would 5:00 work? We can eat at my house then go to the game," Katniss answers. We all nod. "Don't forget Prim and her friends are coming with us. Plus one of her friends' brother's will be coming with us. I think his name is Thresh." We all nod again and we go off to our ways home.
Marvel POV:
"Cato, pass me a drink," I say. "I heard that Glim's mom found out about you two," Cato says throwing me a soda.
"Yeah, I don't care though. She is still letting us stay together," I say.
"I heard," he says.
"Wait, where did you here this from?" I ask not realizing before that I'd never told him any of this stuff.
"I was talking to Glimmer today. I ditched 6th and she was having some sort of panic attack over the Math test," he says.
"Oh," I say.
"You're going to the game tonight, right?"
"Duh, I'm playing in the game. Are you going to the game?" he asks me.
"Duh, I'm going with Glimmer and her friends," I say.
"They aren't your friends?" Cato asks.
"I don't even know anymore. I get along well with Peeta and Finnick, but Katniss, Annie, Johanna, and Clove aren't my favorite people ever. And you know how I feel about Glimmer. You're my best friend, not any of those people," I say.
"Are you doing the blackout?" he asks. Since our school's colors are black and gold, we have blackouts at any major game. At all the other games we do goldouts. If that makes no sense then we all have to wear black or gold, it just depends on the game.
"Yeah, I gotta change before I go. It's better to wear school stuff, right?"
"Yeah, did you never go to a football game at your old school?" Cato asks.
"Like I said, I had barely any friends and I had absolutely no interest or desire to go the games," I say. Kids used to think I was weird at my old school. I'm really not, right?
"Oh, what do you wanna do?" Cato asks.
"CoD?" I suggest. Cato goes and grabs the game controllers. We start to play.
Gale POV:
"Are you going to the game?" Madge asks me over the phone.
"I don't know. I'd be watching the game alone. I don't think so," I say. Since Madge and Delly are cheerleaders and Cato is on the team.
"Couldn't you sit with Johanna and them? They might accept you sitting with them," Madge says. What I could do is call up Johanna, ask her if I could sit with her, and just show up at the game, and then I'm kind of forced to sit with all of them unless they all ditch Johanna. Or she would ditch me. It could play out either way. Or she could just say 'no' in the beginning.
"I guess I could try that," I say.
"Alright, well I got to go over to Delly's, so hopefully I'll see you at the game. Text me if you're not coming, so I don't have to look all over the stands. I love you," Madge says.
"Love you too, bye," I say and hang up the phone. Now I have to call Johanna. I hit her contact and wait for her to answer.
"Who are you and why is your number blocked?" she asks in her friendly tone, note the sarcasm.
"It's me, Gale," I say.
"Sorry, you know why I said that," she says."What's up?"
"I was wondering if I could sit with you at the game tonight," I say.
"Sure, just meet me in front of the steps. You can sit with my friends. If they get mad then screw them they can deal with it for one night," she says.
"Thanks all my friends are apart of the game," I say.
"At least I won't have to hear Delly talk," she says laughing.
"That's true. The only person out of my friends that likes her is Madge," I say.
"Not even Cato?" she asks shocked.
"God no. He's only with her for the reason we hate her for. Well, the reason he left you guys," I say.
"I got to go get ready for the game. Meet me there at 6:30. Bye," she says and hangs up the phone.
Hi, people! Sorry I haven't updated in forever. So yeah. I don't know what to write so I'm gonna go. Peace out girl scout! (that's like my new thing)
