After a huge revolution ( not the one with Katniss.) , leaders of Panem discovered a new land. The citizens who lived there said it was called 'Europe', but they didn't agree with that. They gave the great new place a name, and called it 'District 14.' And then the peace came. A lot of people who lived in Panem, moved to the new district.

The most of the people there in the new district were happy, and lived in peace and a new generation was born. No one told them what really happened back then, with the Hunger Games because they thought it was too cruel. They finally saw that there was no Hunger Games needed to live in peace. Panem just got a little bigger now.

A lot of families moved to the new district, to forget the past. So did Clove, with her parents, and her brother and sister. They bought a big house close to a place what was used to called Amsterdam. But since Europe became a district, the city's didn't have official names anymore, it was almost illegal to say these names out loud. Though people still did it.


'No, this is no fairytale.' I thought. 'I am not a princess, I don't think I'd ever find my prince on a white f*cking horse. I just moved to a whole new district which isn't called 'wonderland.' No, this is still a cruel word full of secrets. So expecting for a happy ending? Why would I even think about it?'

'I didn't want to leave district 2. Why did we have to go?' I mumbled while I looked out the window of the car. The place was so different compared to my old neighbourhood.

'It's better here, for all of you.' My mom said.

'But why? It was pretty good in district 2 too. And if we wanted to move here, we should have been faster. Half of the year already passed, now we are the newcomers in the school. ' My brother Shane filled in.

'Just accept it. This is your new home, no more questions okay.' She sighed, probably annoyed by us.

'So, here we are.' My dad stopped the car.

I opened the door and breathed in the air of my new hometown. I looked upon a pretty big house. 'Is this our house?'

'Yeah, would you please come help us with carrying the boxes?' My dad beckoned me.

I lifted a heavy box and carried it into the house. My parents already came here before today, so a lot of furniture was already in the house.

I walked upstairs, to see the rest of the house. There was a weird feeling inside my chest, which had been there since I entered the house. I didn't know what it was, but it didn't felt good. I looked around myself. Three rooms and a bathroom, and then there was an attic with two more rooms. In one of them Shine is going to sleep, the other one is going to be used as a home cinema room. I headed into a place what must be my room. It was a wide room, with big windows. The walls a very light shade of mint green, not pink. I was never such a girly girl.

I walked down again. My brother and parents almost carried all of the stuff inside, so I hopped down the sofa.

I always was home schooled, and tomorrow I had to go to a place called 'Panem High.' Which was going to be my new school.

I didn't look forward to it, all those new people. Tomorrow isn't going to be a good day, I already knew that.

'Do we really have to go to Panem High?' Shane muttered and sat down next to me.

'I don't feel like going either.' I shrugged.

'All new people who are immediately going to judge you in whatever you do.'

'Better make your reputation quickly, before someone else ruins it.' I patted my brother on his shoulder.

'I am going to make dinner.' My mom headed down to the kitchen.

'Just let us order pizza.' Shane rolled his eyes. He was 18, I was 16. Not really much difference in age, and we were pretty close. Of course we had those brother-sister problems, like everyone else. But we would always be there for each other.

'Yeah, Shane and I will get some pizza. And we are going to see more of this place, right?' I already walked to the door.

'Okay.' My mother replied and gave me the money.

I made a lower ponytail and walked with my brother towards the scooters. Mine was white, the one of my brother black.

I turned it on, and a minute later we drove through the city, looking for a pizza tent.

'Let's go here.' Shane suddenly slowed down, then we parked our scooters in front of Domino's.

I ordered a pepperoni, margarita and something with four cheeses.

'That's 15,95.' The red haired girl told me.

I paid with 20, and put the change in my pocket. 'Thanks.' I told her and picked up the pizza boxes.

Shane picked them up for me, and we walked back to their scooters. It was already late, so there weren't that many cars and it was pretty quiet everywhere. Shane and I drove back to home without saying anything. We were both just focused on the way home, we didn't remember exactly how we came here.

...

Suddenly a police car stopped in front of us.

'Wow!' I mumbled while I stopped my scooter quickly to not bump into the car.

'Can't he drive? Who the f*ck stops in the middle of a road.' Shane sounded just as angry, but confused as I was.

The two policemen walked out of the car and stepped towards us. 'And what do you think you're doing?' The policeman looked at us like he was inspecting.

'Can't we ask the same thing? You just stopped in front of us, didn't you have any drive lessons?' Shane told them. It was hard for me to not laugh at this moment.

'We know exactly what we're doing.' The policeman said to us, looking firmly. 'But you two have to wear an helmet.'

'Well sorry, we didn't know. Things changed here okay.' I tried to convince them that we're innocent. I didn't want to get into trouble. Of course we knew that we should wear helmets, but it just so much more free if you don't.

'A lot of things changed here. But next time, you have to wear an helmet okay?' Then the policeman headed to Shane. 'And you, you better keep quiet next time if you don't want to get into trouble.'

'What is this? A conspiracy of silence?' He laughed.

'Good evening.' The policemen walked towards the car.

I just shook my head when the policemen got inside the car. 'What the f*ck was that?'

'Let's go.' My brother suggested.

We drove back home again. 'I hope the pizza isn't cold yet.' I wiped my hair out of my face, the wind blew it back in my face the whole time.

'If it is, they're going to buy us a new one.' Shane swore.

When we finally arrived at home, the pizza was still warm. We both kept quiet about what just happened with the police. Our parents couldn't know that, they'd become mad.

My mother sliced the pizzas and placed them on the table. Lotus, our little sister hopped down on the chair next to me. She grabbed a slice of the four cheese pizza and lay it down on her plate, just like everyone else did.

After dinner I looked at the clock. Almost 11 pm, I should sleep now if I don't want to walk in school tomorrow like a zombie. Not that I felt like going to school tomorrow, but I have to. And when I go, I better make a good reputation and don't ruin everything on my first day.

'I'm going to sleep.' I stood up from my chair and walked upstairs. The house smelled so new, and not familiar.

I walked inside my room, and put on pyjamas which were still lying in one of the boxes.

Then I let myself fall on the bed and pulled the blankets over myself.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep, knowing that the time would pass by faster if I was sleeping.

...

I slowly opened my eyes, and looked at the alarm clock next to my bed. 6:45 It showed. I forced myself to get up, and waddled towards the bathroom.

I was still very sleepy, so I splashed cold water in my face. I headed to my room again, and put on a dark coloured sweater and shorts. It looked pretty rainy outside, so I put on a bit of black waterproof mascara. I quickly brushed my hair and teeth, and went downstairs.

My mother and sister were already eating their breakfast.

'Excited for your new school?' My mom asked me.

'Is that even a question? No, not really.' I shrugged and sat down next to Lotus. Actually I was more afraid than excited.

'Why? The school seemed good in my opinion.' She gave me a stare, which I didn't really liked. It was so fake, but nowadays you can't expect for 'real' things.

'That doesn't matter, I don't like school.' I told her.

'How do you even know that? You're home schooled Clove.'

I rolled my eyes, just because of that I'm home schooled doesn't means that I don't know what is going on in a school. I just made myself breakfast and ate it.

'I'm leaving.' I got up from my chair and grabbed my bag.

'Bye, have a nice day.' I heard my mother saying after me when I closed the door.

Maybe in between of all these awkward moments, which are coming today, I'd have a nice day. But actually I didn't think so.

I headed to my white scooter and again, didn't put an helmet on. I put it on and drove away to my new school.

...

When I arrived I parked my scooter on probably the right place, somewhere behind the school. Then walked all the way around again, inside the hall.

I looked skittish around myself. It's funny how you see very, very much people around you and you still feel alone.

Not for long, I guess. I'd make some new friends.
