Hey guys! This is my first Hunger Games Fanfic...so please don't hate :D I'm going to do my personal favorite pairing...Clato. So I hope you enjoy. :D
Clove's POV
I'm Clove Steele I'm 16 and I hate moving. I hate it, not that my parents care. They're both big executives for a software company. So now instead of being curled up on the couch, at my home since I was eight years old, reading a book like every Sunday I'm sitting in a moving van listening to my ipod. I have a copy of The Hobbit in my backpack that I brought but I always get sick if I try to read in the car. I look out the window and remember when we moved to my old house when I was eight. It's weird cause we're actually moving to the exact same town we moved from.
I still remember my friend Annie. Even though we were only eight when I left she's still one of my best friends. I managed to find her facebook a couple years ago and we've kept in touch. She says that the school I'm going to, Panem Prep, is a really good school. She even mentioned there were a lot of cute guys. When Annie and I were eight we basically thought boys had cooties, oh how things have changed.
I've changed a lot too since I was eight. Not so much height wise since I'm only 5'3 but I've gained a lot of muscle from soccer and track. I'm pretty much built to be a runner because of my small thin body. Annie's changed a lot too. She used to be my height but now she towers over me since she's 5'6. She has long brown/red curly hair and sea green eyes. I used to be jealous because my long black hair is straight as a board and refuses to curl, but I actually like it now. I don't have sea green eyes either, but I have an emerald green.
The only two people I remember besides Annie is Cato and Finnick. I don't really know what happened to them, but I do remember them when I was eight. They would chase Annie and I around the playground trying to kiss us and give us cooties. Annie and I had none of that and would run away from them all recess. We were faster than them even back then. I bet I could still beat them in a race.
Besides that I only remember one thing about Cato. I remember the Valentine's Day before I left he had made me a heart shaped card that said "Will you please be my Valentine" written in his messy handwriting. By that time Annie and I had realized boys didn't actually have cooties, so I said yes. The end of that day I remember giving him a peck on the cheek before leaving school.
The car slowly stops as we pull into our new driveway. I turn my ipod off, grab my bag, and get out of the car. The house isn't huge, but not small either. It's been painted a dark brown but has a green door, this reminds me of Bildo Baggins house. That reminds me I still have The Hobbit to read. My mom calls me over to the van saying I need to help. I grab all the boxes that have my name on them and carry them inside.
One perk of being an only child is that I don't have to fight anyone for a room. I take the biggest one, besides the master, so the other smaller one's that guest room. I stack my boxes in a pile next to the door and wait for the movers my mom called to bring my bed up. In the mean time I quick text Annie.
Just got here. starting to unpack, what's up? :)
She quickly replies,
Nm, just hanging with Finnck ;D
Finnick! I knew you liked him! Are you guys dating?
No :( He hasn't asked me yet
He will, I remember how he used to chase you around the playgound ;)
Haha well Cato would chase you :p Have you talked to him yet?
Um no, I don't even have his number and I haven't talked to him since I moved :p
Well you should. I told him you were moving back ;) The look on his face was priceless. Someone's gotta crush on CLOVE ;)
Whatever :p I gotta finish unpacking now ttyl...tell Finn I say hi :)
I slide my phone in my pocket and slowly unpack my box with bedding and start making the bed. This is going to be a long day.
Sorry if this chapter was a little boring...I'm trying to get the character kinda set up :P I hope you liked it though! Clato is to come! :D
