So hi guys and gals, I've decided to post a new story. I HAVE finished my Prim and Cato story just in case some of you didn't realise. I felt like typing up a story so I decided to make this. I don't know if I will update a new chapter...depends on how well this update is.
Glimmer's POV
Pushing my glasses up my nose, I let out a loud sigh before flicking to the next page of my book ''The Last Girl Standing''.
''Billie Jean stands hidden behind a tree, studying the girls face from a distance. He watches her skip towards the river's edge and lets out a loud laugh as she tumbles into the icy water'' Why on earth I bought this book I will never know. The plot is so strange yet it makes me want to read on.
''Yo Glimmer, what shit book you reading now 'en?'' Marvel shouts from across the field. He stands with his top off, surrounded by a group of giggling girls. Katniss Everdeen lets out a loud chuckle at his snarky comment.
''Is it any of your business? Besides, it isn't shit, it's actually really good...plus, reading books will help me in the future, chilling with your top off whilst flirting with slags will not help you. Then again, if you wish to be a pimp continue doing what you're doing.'' The group of girls snarl at me whilst Marvel smirks ever so slightly.
''You're alright Glim you know that? Not as innocent as people say you are'' With that, he turns around and begins making out with Katniss.
''He's still bothering you?'' Rue sits down next to me underneath the old oak tree. She's wearing a long, baby blue skirt with a white vest and brown belt going around her waist. On her feet are gladiator sandals. She's pushed her Ray Bans onto her head. Rue and I are 15 and probably the weirdest people in our year.
''Oh, no not really, he's just trying to impress the girls. But too be honest, making fun of a geek is not attracting their attention, his bare chest is what makes them swarm around him'' I let out a high chuckle before placing my book down and taking a bite out of my cherry red apple.
''So what's new then Goldie?'' Rue started calling me Goldie when we were 7 years old.
Flashback
It was a bright summer's day, no breeze. I'd recently moved in, and was playing outside in my garden. Whilst I bent down to pick up flowers, a shadow appeared next to me.
''Hi I'm Rue, would you like to be my friend?''I stood back up clutching a handful of daisies. Smiling a toothy grin, I nodded my head and handed Rue one flower. From that day on, Rue became my best friend.
''I got an A in my French exam and an A* in my Chemistry, what about you?'' I look down to my iPhone and flick through my songs until I find ''How to Save a Life – The Fray'' clicking play, I look back up to Rue.
''Basically, I got an A in French too, detention in Maths and I'm not allowed back into my Welsh class. But other than that, it's been a good day'' I sigh deeply to myself, Rue is always getting herself into trouble. She isn't thick but sometimes she is just plain stupid.
''Why do you have detention and why are you not allowed back into Welsh?'' Taking another bite from my apple I fiddle with my glasses and push my hair out of my face.
''Well...you know that homework I had in Maths? Basically, when she came around the classroom to collect it, I told her my dog ate it. She stared at me for a while before asking for the real reason I forgot my homework. So I told her again that my dog ate it. Anyways, In the end, she got angry at me, started shouting, I told her to quiet down since we're in a classroom and people are doing exams around us, she glared at me for a while before beginning to shout again. I packed my things in front of her, stood up, and walked out of the classroom. The last thing I heard her say was that I have detention on Friday for the next 2 weeks for 1hour. I'm not going to go though, she can shove off'' She takes a deep breath before beginning to speak again.
''My Welsh teacher hates me, you know that. I was in Welsh, ignoring her as per usual when suddenly someone threw a piece of paper onto my desk. Now the normal thing to do would be to read it and reply, so that's what I did. Turns out the note was from Peeta asking me if I was doing anything tonight. So I wrote on the back of the note, folded it back up neatly and launched it across the classroom. However, I didn't really pay much attention to who was standing in the way when I threw it. It hit miss right in the face. She started screaming at me in Welsh and her face went bright red so I told her to stop overreacting since it was only a piece of paper. Miss said she couldn't handle me anymore and sent me outside'' Rue started to giggle uncontrollably and started rolling around on the grass.
''RUE YOU CAN'T DO THAT. THIS SMALL MISTAKE COULD RUIN YOUR FUTURE'' I sigh loudly before glaring at her through my glasses and making a small pouting face which makes my nose scrunch up.
''Goldie, calm downnnnn, you gotta let loose. Anyways, we have History next so I suggest we leave now since I need the toilet first'' She stands up, patting down skirt and reaching for her brown over the shoulder bag.
''LET'S GO THEN. Can't miss History, your favourite teacher is waitingggg'' she says in a sing song voice. Rue loves taking the piss out of me since she knows how much I love History. I can't help that I've grown up reading books about history and the subject itself is very interesting to me. Plus we have an amazing teacher.
''Ok, let me just pack up my things'' Taking the final bite out of my apple, I place it on the floor before picking up my book and putting it neatly into my bag. I pause my music, wrap my headphones around my phone and put it into my pocket.
''I NEED A WEE, HURRY UP BEFORE I PISS MYSELF'' Rue starts jumping around the place and overreacting.
''Fine, please can you put my apple in the bin?'' She bends down, picks up the apple and throws it across the field.
''RUE, THAT'S LITTERING, GO PICK IT UP''
''Nope, it's compost'' She begins skipping towards the school doors leaving me standing there glaring at her back.
''I will burn you with my eyes Rue'' I mutter to myself before walking the way she just went
Rue's POV
Goldie worries so much, she needs to live a little. She's beautiful, but doesn't realise it. I would love to have her golden hair. It flows neatly down her back, and shines brightly in the sun. Her eyes are unusual, and I swear they change colours. Plus, she has a lovely figure. It's not too skinny, and it's not too chunky. She doesn't realise it but a lot of girls envy her.
''Where's your nerd friend then Rue?'' Katniss shouts from behind me.
''Katniss, I've told you already, Glimmer is not a nerd. She's smarter than you and far prettier. Jealousy is a bitch.'' I flip her the bird before taking my seat at the front of the class. If I had it my way I would've sat at the back with Jessica, but Goldie wanted to sit down the front since she loves History.
''Sorry I'm late sir, I'm so sorry'' Glimmer fast walks into the classroom with her hair covering her face. Katniss snorts slightly and sticks her foot out in an attempt to trip Goldie.
''1. You aren't late, and 2. Watch out Katniss is trying to trip you again'' I shout from the front.
''Open your books and look over the last thing we did'' Mr Jones says from the classroom door before dawdling back outside to wherever he goes. Glimmer opens up her bag, places her pencil case and book onto the table before taking off her jacket and settling down into her seat.
''So, I heard they're looking for the person who threw that apple onto the field. They want to put them into detention'' I whisper. Goldie turns her face to me before gasping.
''I TOLD YOU TO PUT IT IN THE BIN. OH NO, I CAN'T GET IN TROUBLE'' I start giggling to myself and try to stop myself from bursting out into laughter.
''Just kidding. Anyways, I heard Katniss and Marvel were making out in his house and his little sister walked in. Apparently she caught them in a very 'sexual' position. I'm pretty sure they both still had underwear on but that's not the point. His sister told his parents who have now banned her from coming over and he isn't allowed out for an entire week. I mean that's a bit harsh, but they're 15 so I don't know what they thought they were doing. Also, rumour has it they weren't intending on using protection. Could you imagine Katniss being banged up...haha.'' Glim giggles softly before pushing her glasses up her nose which she does continuously since they're too big.
''PST Rue'' I turn around to face Peeta. Smiling I nod.
''I never got your reply in Welsh, so are you doing anything tonight?'' He smirks before running a hand through his blonde locks.
''Um no I'm not. Why?'' I bite my lower lip whilst waiting for a response.
''I was wondering if um, you'd like to come over? I just bought a bunch of new movies and I can order some pizza?'' This is a normal night for us two; we've been friends for years. His Mum and mine are very close. For the past 3 years I've been madly in love with him.
''Sure, sounds good! Should I bring the popcorn and nutella?'' When we were 9 I had a bag of popcorn that my Mum had bought me, and he was having nutella on toast. I suggested putting some nutella on my popcorn, so that's what we did. Since then every time we go down each other's houses I bring popcorn and nutella.
''Well obviously'' He chuckles. Right at that moment Mr Jones decides to stroll back in.
Glimmer's POV
Lying down on my bed, I smile and relax. I love coming home from school. Taking a deep breath, I pick up my book and find the page I left off at. Placing my phone into its docking station I scroll through my songs before finding ''The Fire – Dan Griffin''. When the music begins to play I hum slightly to it and start reading my book.
''Glimmer Rue is on the phone, she said she tried ringing your mobile but there was no answer'' My Mum shouts from downstairs. Quickly I get up from my bed and jog down to take the phone off her.
''I have a problem'' Rue states.
''What is it now? Run out of food? Lost your phone charger AGAIN?'' I try to hold back my laugh; she can be such a drip on times.
''No...It's worse than that. But yes I have lost my charger; HOWEVER, that isn't what I'm calling you about. I'm down Peeta's right now, and I'm in the bathroom whilst he orders the pizza. So we were on the sofa watching 'Jack and Jill' some comedy, it's really funny. At one point, I looked over to him and he was studying my face, so I asked him what he was doing and he said ''Rue, you're so different to other girls, do you know that?'' I didn't know what to say, I was blushing like crazy so I just awkwardly said ''Oh, really? It's the effect I have on people'' he smirked and then...then'' She trails off leaving the phone conversation quiet.
''What happened Rue?'' I hear her giggle.
''Well it isn't really a bad thing but um, he kissed me'' I can hear her squealing excitedly.
''OMG, THE FEELS, WHAT WAS IT LIKE? HOW LONG? TONGUE? DETAILS PLEASE. I'VE BEEN SHIPPING YOU FOR AGES. I WAS THINKING ''Pure'', CAUSE YOU KNOW P AND E FROM PEETA, U AND R FROM RUE''
''Calm down. No tongue was involved...I mean come on, it's our first kiss. BUT IT WAS AMAZING. I will tell you about it tomorrow, he's calling me saying the pizza is here. Love you'' Then the line goes dead. I awkwardly dance around my house not being able to contain my happiness for her. I knew it would happen at one point, I just knew it. Obviously I'm jealous since I'm forever alone, but who cares right now.
''Glimmer stop moving around and come down for dinner'' My Dad screams from the kitchen.
Hope you guys like it. I know it's very different to other Hunger games fanfictions but it's based on my friend and me. She's Glimmer and I'm Rue. Plus, I am a lot like I described Rue.
