-CLOVE-
"Clover!" Katniss shrieks over the phone. "Hello? Are you awake?"
"Yeah, I'm awake, Katniss! Stop screaming!" I yell playfully as I quickly grab my phone from the bathroom counter.
"OKAY GOOD. TODAY'S THE FIRST DAY, AND I CAN'T STOP FREAKING OUT ABOUT THE CLASS I GOT INTO WHAT DID YOU-" Katniss rushes.
"Katniss! Did you go to 7-Eleven this morning? I bet you got that toilet seat and beat the record for bring your own slurpee cup day!" I reply.
"Um... NO. That thing made me get a headache." I could hear Katniss silently giggling.
"STOP FREAKING LYING. I WILL INHALE THAT OUT OF YOU, KITTER." I holler. "By the way, I'll pick you up in 10 minutes. Be there or die." I laugh.
"Okay, cool." Katniss replies nonchantly, and hangs up.
I laugh to myself and pick up the textbooks Ms. Trinket handed to us on the day of our school orientation. I then stop by the mirror to cover my small cut I got on my face from hitting a rock while surfing.
"Clove!" Glimmer yells from the other room. "I have a fashion emergency!"
"WHAT?!" I yell back, marching up to her room.
"My braids won't coordinate!" Glimmer whines like a baby. "Why are fishtails so hard to do?"
"Glimmer, get your ass downstairs. We have to go." I point to her clock. "It's like, 7:40."
"Okay, fine." Glimmer whines again, and runs downstairs.
Why do I even have to dorm with Glimmer? I ask myself jokingly. I still remember Glimmer's expression when her parents had to leave for out of town for their Peacekeeper (in the council) jobs, and so did mine. Glimmer begged me for her to move in with me, and it took a whole bag of chocolate to say so.
"You ready?" Glimmer says from the top of the stairs.
"It looks like you finally evened out your hair." I roll my eyes sarcastically. "I think we're late. Do you want to stop by Peeta's bakery and grab cheese buns?"
"Sure!" Glimmer runs down the stairs, and grabs her backpack. I make sure to grab mine also. I turn off all the lights to save electricity, and lock the door as we're leaving.
"So, do you know anyone at Panem Distria High?" Glimmer looks around the quiet streets as we're walking to my car. "Cause I'm really nervous. I don't want to freak out."
"Oh, right." I remember. Glimmer doesn't know anyone here because she used to attend Wiltshire Boarding before moving to Panem. "Well, I do know a few besties of mine. They'll probs LOVE your hair."
"Alright." Glimmer straightens her walking posture, and we hop into my Lamborghini.
"Put on your seatbelt, Glimmer." I roll my eyes patiently. She does so, and I drive off while raising the automatic car hood over us.
"Nice ride!" Glimmer smiles nervously.
"This is like, the first time I've seen you nervous." I playfully bump her shoulder. "Amirite?"
"Stop!" Glimmer laughs. "Yeah. But remember, you've been, too."
"Lolz, definitely." We chat about school and life, before the next green light suddenly turns red.
"Damnit!" I shriek, and Glimmer laughs at me.
"Hey, Clover!" I turn my head to the open window, and I see that Katniss is on the front passenger seat along with Peeta, who is driving. "Ayyyyy!"
"Peeta had to drive me to school." Katniss sobs playfully out the window. "And my car's being repaired. Too bad." Katniss pats the van from the outside.
"My ride." Peeta glances sideways. "It's gonna be green light!" And just like that, Peeta drives off real fast.
"Shoot." I push the accelerator, and speed off after them.

-ANNIE-
"Hello, earth to Annie!" I wake up to Finnick's voice and the sudden splashing of cold water across my face.
I sit up suddenly. "What the hell, Finnick?!" I chase after him while he runs downstairs. I continue to pursue him down the stairs, around the backyard, into the kitchen, and in the bathroom (finally)!
"Alright, you got me." Finnick lies down on the checkered bathroom floor, gasping for air. "Dude, did you like, run ten miles yesterday?"
"Hyped enough." I walk over and kiss his cheek lightly. "Come on, it's like, 7:20. We gotta get going before we're late."
"Fine. But I want a sugar cube first." Finnick demands lazily.
"Help yourself." I chuckle. "Huge pack downstairs." I laugh again as Finnick speeds out of the bathroom after my words.
I use the first fifteen minutes to exfoliate my face, and then rub a small layer of foundation across my face, and fill in my eyebrows. "Done." I pant, tired of using my arm for so long.
"Are you finished stuffing yourself, fishyboy?" I yell from upstairs.
"Yup! Already washed up!" Finnick yells from downstairs.
I go into my bright pink room and change into my casual outfit I did not plan the night before (time for everyone to gasp). I throw on some light blue jeans, a plain pocketed tee, and some platform Nikes my cousin got me for my summer birthday. I grab my bag from the corner of my room and march downstairs.
"Oh, ANNIEEEE!" I hear Finnick from the bathroom. "ARE YOU FINISHED?"
"YES I AM. STOP YELLING!" I yell hypocritically.
After bearing with Finnick's painful disorder of swallowing sugar cubes, I drag him out the front door before locking it. "Stop overreacting, Finny. Today's the first day, and you're already so hyper."
"Katniss told me she inhaled three huge servings of Slurpee." Finnick groaned. He obviously hated my mother-ing voice.
"You're like, drunk." I laughed when he stopped whining. "Come on, we gotta go."
"Fine. Annie Cresta will hereby win only once on the first day." Finnick squints like a kid.

-KATNISS-
When we finally pull up to school, I notice that we're arriving on overboard time. Peeta and I made this up. Overboard time is when the school is suddenly PACKED to the point of expansion on the first day of school. Other than the first week, everyone arrives either really early, right on time (which barely happens), or VERY late (which mostly happens).
"I'm so excited about my special archery class right now." I laughed in delight. "Dude, I can't believe they have the talent classes now."
"Me too. I finally got to bake without any gender discrimination." Peeta laughed out loud. "I still can't believe my mom was against it."
"Same. Anyways, I'll meet you at break!" I lightly kissed him, and he kissed back. I then got out of his van. "Bye!"
"Bye Katniss!" He waved, and got out of the van also, stopping to lock it.
"Katniss!" I heard Clove two parking spots away. I ran to her, and found her with a very petite and fancy girl.
"Hey Clove!" I replied. "This is..."
"Glimmer!" The girl replied. "Sorry. I have a really weird name."
"No probs! It's just so bright." I grinned, and shook hands with her.
"She's from out of town." Clove informed me.
"Omigosh, that is so cool." I replied genuinely. "What school did you go to before coming here?"
"I went to Wiltshire Boarding." Glimmer smiles. "It was pretty awesome."
"Cool!" I exclaimed. "We better get in before Abernathy catches us being late. He literally locks the door in front of all late people."
Clove laughs along with me. "Then, come on!"

-JOHANNA-
"So, who's this new fella?" I glance at the new blonde, who stands shyly next to Katniss and Clove. "Did she transfer?"
"Yup. She's Glimmer. Glimmer, Johanna. Johanna, Glimmer." Clove introduces us to each other.
"Cute name." I comment.
"Thanks." She smiles politely.
"So, did you come from out of town?" I ask.
"Ye-up, I did." Glimmer replies. "Where do we get our schedules?"
"Oh shoot, I forgot to pick mine up." Clove chuckles. "Better get to the office."
When we get to the office, Glimmer peeks around, careful not to act rude. "Aw, come on Glimmer. We're all wild at some point. Stop acting shy." I assure her.
"I have a crazy-girl-with-knives side. That's my talent." Clove laughs.
"Shhhhhhh." Ms. Trinket calls from the desk. "What are you girls here for?"
"We're here for our schedules." Katniss tells Ms. Trinket gently.
"Alrighty, please sit down and wait for about two minutes." Ms. Trinket motions towards the chair stupidly.
I roll my eyes when I turn around to sit. Glimmer sits next to Clove, I sit next to Glimmer, and Katniss sits next to me. Soon the office is filled with twenty more students that forgot to pick up their schedules at the orientation.
"Why do we have to wait so long?" Glimmer groans after ten minutes.
"Ms. Trinket can't, ah, focus on things." I reply without looking up. I then focus on my horror book again. "She has some sight problems, too."
"Oh. Okay." Glimmer laughs. "I once had a teacher like that. She almost tripped over her coffee while commenting on my shoes."
I laugh along with Glimmer. "Definitely worth a snap." Glimmer needs to get used to attention right now, because some jocks are eyeing her from the side.

-MARVEL-
I bust into the main office with Cato, laughing as quietly as we can about the rumor spread about Ms. Trinket. She was apparently spotted making out with Abernathy, the drunk hog, at the back of the office. The rumor spreader had snaps to spread the news.
As soon as I open the door, the first thing I notice is a new blonde, laughing along with Johanna. She looks new. "Have you ever seen that girl before?" I bump Cato's arm.
"Nope. Maybe a new transfer. But I'm not interested." Cato rolls his eyes before returning to his phone.
I stare at the girl, who now returns to staring nervously at the ceiling, probably waiting for her schedule like me. She bobs her leg up and down.
"Okay, Marvel? Glimmer?" Cato sneers as the new girl walks up to the front desk to get her schedule. "Glimmer? What a nice name."
"Whatever, man. Stop chilling with your hood, ghetto." I walk up and grab my schedule that Trinket has laid out.
"Wait, this isn't mine." I look at the new girl. "Is this yours?"
"Yup, I guess so." The girl hands my schedule over to me. "Sorry." She says shyly.
"You new here?" I ask her without my normal torturing tone.
"Yeah." She smiles gently. She looks pretty cute when she does that, a thought nags me.
"Marvel." I say. "Glimmer." She replies. "Nice meeting you."
"You too." Glimmer nods and walks to Clove.
"Cato? Clove? Finch?" Trinket calls.
Cato strides to the desk and grabs his schedule from the middle. He then walks back to me. "Come on bro. Let's go."
"Alright." I stand up and make my way out of the office with Cato.

-MADGE-
"Gale!" I run to Gale, who is unsuspectingly sitting by himself at a bench.
"Hey, Madge." Gale kisses me on the cheek when I sit down next to him. I smile back in return. "How's morning going?"
"Pretty horrible." I roll my eyes. "My dad woke me up at five in the morning and told me it was 7:50."
Gale laughed gently. "Why does your dad always do that?"
"I don't know. When I was a kid, I had a problem of waking up five minutes before school started. Dad still remembers that from five years ago." I say, obviously tired.
"Anyways," Gale plays with my hair. "What's your schedule?"
"Pretty much usual. Art for my talent class. Yours?" I question.
"Mine is defense. My mom sort of got upset when she found out I would be um, VIOlating the terms of peace." Gale rolled his eyes. "She's like, the ultimate hippie."
"Don't say that." I laugh playfully. "See you. I gotta get to my locker."
"You too." Gale stands up, and I tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek.
"Bye!" I stroll away.
