The Hunger Games High School Fan Fiction

Elena: district four girl tribute

Glimmer POV

I rubbed the mascara on my eyelashes while they flapped back and forth sending a wave of beauty through me. The luscious blonde curls overlapped my back and I spun in circles making sure every point of me was gorgeous. A smile plastered my face as I looked down to my phone; incoming call from Cato.

"Hey beautiful." His voice made my heart skip a beat and I knew I was in love.

"Hey, spread the word about my party tonight okay?" Tonight my parents were going off on some trip for my dad's work and wouldn't be back for five days and since it was a Friday, what would be a better way to enjoy the last few days of summer?

"Of course. I'll see you later love you, Glimmer."

"Love you too." I hung up the phone and trotted downstairs, where the aroma of muffins and pancakes lifted my spirits. Although I lived in a huge mansion, life sometimes tended to get lonely. My parents were always gone and on weekends our maid service had the days off, so inside there was a hole, a piece of me wanting a companion, a brother of sister; anything to take this offal feeling away.

I reached across the counter top for a blueberry muffin. In front of me was a note, written in sweet sensible letters:

Hey Baby,

Sorry, Daddy and I had to take off early this morning, but we will be back soon.

Mom.

I felt my body clench up and then a few tears gather in my eyes. Like they care. I put the muffin down, and got up suddenly, I had lost my appetite. For a few minutes I calmly walked through the empty halls, looking at pictures from when I was little. The time I was six and we drove all the way to the end of Panem and back. The time that my dad and I made a dollhouse for my Barbie, Emerald. Then, my favorite time, when Cato's family and my own went on a real airplane to the ocean where we stayed in a cabin for a week. See, my father and Cato's father work together, they are business partners for the biggest diamond jeweler in the country so obviously we would each have a lot of money. Ever since our families met when we were two, it was like we were family. My family loved the fact Cato and I were dating, they hoped all their lives we would get married and so did I. I was taken aback from my thoughts as the car horn went off outside. I grabbed my designer purse and ran out the door.

Clove, Madge, and Elena sat in Madge's red corvette, made especially for her. Madge was the Mayor's daughter, and has been my best friend since kindergarten. Clove is like my sister, and Is more athletic than anyone in our group and finally Elena, she just moved here a year ago, but she fits right in with us.

"Glimmer!" Madge giggled as I hopped in her car "I love the skirt." I looked down at my sparkled black skirt and smiled.

"Thanks, it's designer." Elena and Clove sat in the back chatting about some kind of basketball tryouts Clove is doing. As the car takes off, I turn to Clove. "So when are the tryouts, I want to come," I smiled.

"Oh god you are NOT signing up for basketball Blondie!" Her laugh caused everyone else in the car to giggle even though they knew what I meant.

"Well we all want to come support you!" My voice blew back as he wind hit our faces.

"Of course name the time and day and we're there." Madge replied.

"Monday at eight. Be there." Clove said as we pulled up to school. Being the most popular girl in school has its advantages, saying that when you arrived at school all heads would turn just to catch a glimpse of you. I smiled as I got out slowly from the car and we walked into the school. People automatically moved away when I walked without any question and life was pretty much perfect here.

Cato turned from in front of the school, football in hand, yet when he saw me, it fell from his hands and he took me in his arms and kissed me while everyone watched. I loved this life I thought, pulling back just to catch a glimpse of a girl with gray eyes and dark hair pulled back in a braid enter my hallway.
