Hey you guys! This is my first ever fanfiction. I decided to try to write and see if you'll like it (which I hope). Hope you'll enjoy!
My name is Clove. Real name Clover. I don't bother saying my last name because I want my name to be remembered and treasured. Clove. I'm sure the first thing that comes to your mind when you here my name is some sort of flower. Then there are other minds that think otherwise about my name. Take Cato for example, he calls me names that I'd rather not say. Anyways, I'm sure you all know that Cato and I are representing District 2 in the 74th Hunger Games but do you know the story of us? Yes, we were together once until before the Reaping. So here is my or should I say, our story.
It was another Sunday morning and my parents are out yet again. They're Peacekeepers stationed at District 1. Sunday, as I say, is a rest day so I usually sleep in, but today I want to do something different. As I step out of my house I think to myself that its been awhile since I've breathe in fresh Sunday air. I walked down the steps and roam the neighborhood. It's springtime so all the flowers are looking beautiful. Daisies, orchids, you name it we've got it. I went to a bush to examine this beautiful looking rose when I hear the most seductive voice,
"You're not supposed to pick that without my permission" said the boy
I look up in surprise and saw the most gorgeous man in my life
"Name's Cato" he says with a smirk
"Clove" I say in return and hoping that he didn't see me blush
"What brings a beautiful girl like you here in the streets?" he asked still smirking
"Well it's been awhile since I've been out so I decided to walk around and check the City Square" I reply
"Oh is that so? I was walking to the City Square too, do you want company?" he asked
"Well.. Sure why not" I said politely, hiding my excitement
It's not everyday you see a hot guy asking you if you want company so it's now or never
"Where are your parents?" he asked
"They're out pretty much everyday" I reply. "They're peacekeepers"
"Oh really? Mine too!" he exclaims
And so we walk towards the City Square, exchanging stories and having a comfortable conversation. I've never had a friend to talk to in what? 5 months all because of training. You see, training is serious stuff. Distractions and all those nonsense are the things I'm trying to avoid that is why I don't do small talks with the other trainees. Plus, my parents are expecting so much from me. Talking to Cato is just relaxing and based on his expression, I'm pretty sure he feels the same way too.
"Why don't I see you around?" he asks
"Well, I don't really mingle with people here. I'm pretty much an alone person and prefer not to have company." I reply uneasily
"Oh.. so umm.. do you still want me to hang with you?" he asks, clearly uncomfortable
"Uh.. Yeah!" I blurt out
His uneasiness completely vanishes and is replaced with utter joy
"Well then" He holds out his arm. "May I have this last 100 meter walk?"
I laugh. "Do you have to be so accurate?"
"At least I know" he replies "And I'm not cooped up in the house unlike someone I know" he whistles looking in the opposite direction
I punch him in the arm. "Yeah yeah" still laughing as I take his arm and walk the remaining few 100 meters to the City Square
Did that go well? Please review! It would mean so much to me c:
