My name is Clove Eryx. I'm 15 and I'm from District 2. You most likely have heard of my name in the 74th Annual Hunger Games. Though my fate wasn't good during the games, I'm here to tell more about myself, how I felt towards the Hunger Games, and about the people who mattered to me before and during the Games. It's my turn to tell the story now, since everyone's attention has been fussing about District 12's Girl On Fire, Katniss Everdeen.

I came from a rather wealthy family and I grew up without a mother. I have been District 2's very own Prima Donna since childhood. My father is the District Mayor, so that explains my pampered childhood. District 2 is known for having fit and healthy children. Kids here are trained a specific skill since childhood. I'm a very ruthless and lethal person myself. Though I have been District 2's sweetheart for years, I know that there's one thing that's running clear through my bones. I will become a victor of the Hunger Games.

I have been trained to do knife throwing ever since the age of 5. I've mastered the skill, and I can pretty much throw more than 7 knives at someone from 15 yards away, and each knife would pierce through one body part. I've been trained to do a bit of archery and snares, too, but nothing compares to my knife throwing skills. I'm pretty much competitive myself.

Okay, so know maybe you're thinking that I'll never have friends since I'm so violent and all. Wrong. I do have friends, but they're not the type you'd want to be with. My friends, actually, are the people whom I train with. My father had a special quadrant constructed at the Nut just for our training. Professional trainers and some expert Peacekeepers are hired to train all 5 of us: Me, Vidia, Kreed, Calliope, and Cato Tylk.

We all came from famous and wealthy families- Vidia coming from a family with both parents as renowned doctors, Kreed coming from a family with a mother who is a famous entertainer at the Capitol, Calliope coming from a wealthy family and she is known to have been born in the Capitol, and Cato Tylk coming from a wealthy family with his father as my father's adviser.

Every week, our trainers would rank us according to our lesson scores. We have three lessons all in all: Knot tying, Self Defense, Weaponry. As of now, Cato with his swords tops the chart, I stand as the second, Calliope with her spear stands as the third, Kreed who is known for his snares stands as the fourth, and Vidia with her poison darts as the last.

Okay, I was kidding. We're not exactly friends. We're more of a group of competitive friends. Calliope is the one whom I least like. She's that kind of person who'd do anything to top me, and of course do what it takes to get Cato's attention.

I know what you're thinking by now, and NO. I do not have feelings for Cato Tylk.

Okay fine. Maybe just a little bit, but we are certainly not lovers. We're more of an intimate friend to each other. My father forbid me to have any romantic interests with him because it will get into our goal to be victors of the Hunger Games. Besides, I give more priority to my knife throwing more than my love life.

Cute, aren't we? but we've got a catch here. Celix Tylk, Cato's brother, fancies me. I'm a pretty attractive person, aren't I? Don't worry, all of you Clato fans out there, I have no interest in Celix Tylk.

Enough about myself. Let's start my story now. Do you want to know where we'll start? No? Well it's during the training at the Nut...

Hi! This is my very first fanfiction. EVER. I hope you guys like it, and I would love a review! The very reason I made fanfics are because of Clato. 3 Some lines are from the GIFs I found on Tumblr. I'll link the GIFs and all so that no copyright infringement shall be done. Enjoy!

Hello! Thank you all for your wonderful reviews! I will continue writing about Clato and I hope you guys will stay tuned! I've just recently started I am Clove's sequel, I am Cato. Check it out here: s/8608242/1/I-am-Cato :)
