Clove is 4 years old when she steps foot in the school for the first time.
She sat at one of the tabels -alone- when this little girl came up to her.
"Hi. Im Rosie."the little girl said.
Clove looked the girl over quickly.
She was small, with blond curly hair done up in a little white ribbon.
she was wearing a pale yellow dress, and she was looking at the ground.
She was obviously shy.
"Hi."Clove awnsered."Im Clove. Come sit?"
Rosie directly looked up , and slowly sat down.
"Whats wrong?"Clove asked the little girl, who was now picking at her dress.
"People dont ask me to come sit. I guess im different."
"Me too. Thats okay."
Rosie smiled.
At the other side of the classroom, there was a tall blonde boy.
Hewas looking at Clove, and he waved.
Clove slowly waved back.
"Who you waving at?"Rosie asked, and Clove looked at her.
"That boy over there."
"Oh. Ooh. Thats Cato. Hes mean."
"Really?"Clove asked.
Cato seemed nice, but then again, so did everyone in District Two before you met them.

Then Cato started walking to Cloves desk.
Rosie took that as her sign to leave, and Cato sat down.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"Im Cato."
"Clove."
"Are you new?"
"Yeah. Today's my first day."
"Why are you hanging out with Rosie?"
"Because shes my friend."
"Shes annoying."
"Why? Because she's different?"
"Yeah."
Suddenly, Clove narrowed her eyes.
She got up, and stood up to sit down next to her friend.
"Where are you going?"Cato asked.
"Away from you. Stupid head."
