AN: Hey everyone so this is my first fic like ever so I really hope you guys are into it. Clove and Katniss are my OTP and I really didn't think the collection of fics about them was big enough so I put on my writer pants and got to it. Anyway, please review and leave any suggestions or constructive criticisms you have, or if you just wanna tell me you love it, I'll probably love you a lot more than anyone else. So yeah, please enjoy!

Also, I do not own any of the characters in this story, I'm simply using their names and general personalities. All credit for the Hunger Games trilogy goes to Suzanne Collins.

This was insane. My teachers were certifiably insane. Honestly, what person in their right mind makes a group of ten teenagers get to the airport at five in the morning, I repeat FIVE IN THE MORNING, to take a twelve hour flight. Sure, we were going to Italy, but no one should be at an airport when the moon is still visible. I climbed out of Gale's car(he had picked me up since my mom still hadn't come home when I woke up), pulling my suitcase with me. The biting wind hit me right away and I pulled the hood of my jacket up, pulling hard on the drawstrings. Gale and I walked through the automatic glass doors and into the lobby. The rest of our travel group was already there.

Ms. Trinket, Mr. Abernathy, and his T.A. Cinna were to be our guardians for the next week and a half. As Gale and I approached, Ms. Trinket, in her annoying high pitched voice, greeted us and told us how glad she was to see us. Everything about this woman was unnatural; nobody should be that chipper so early in the morning. Mr. Abernathy was her complete polar opposite and was almost falling asleep on his feet. Cinna was chatting with a few of the other students; he was in college, so he was pretty cool and easy going.

Peeta, Thresh, Rue, and Madge waved at Gale and I, and we made our way over to them. I looked around, checking out our other companions. It was the "popular" crowd: Cato, Glimmer, Marvel and Clove. They were all rich and all attractive. Cato was kind of their leader and the biggest asshole I had ever met. Glimmer and Marvel were his ditzy little followers; they had a cumulative IQ of around 85. Clove was sarcastic and vicious but not like Cato. She almost always had a reason behind her torment. Unfortunately, she also hated my guts. I just couldn't figure out why.

We all exchanged complaints about the time of our arrival and our lack of sleep while we all went through security and finally arrived at the gate with a half hour to spare. Ms. Trinket gathered us all around and pulled out a sheet of paper.

"Now, everyone, on this trip we'll be using the buddy system. You'll sit next to your buddy, you'll share a room with your buddy at the hotel, and you'll do all travel and sightseeing activities with your buddy," she explained to a collective groan from the students.

I glanced at Gale and saw the same grimace on his face that I knew was on mine.

"Thresh and Rue, Madge and Glimmer, Peeta and Marvel, Gale and Cato," at that I almost fell to the floor trying to contain my laughter; if anyone hated Cato more than I did, it was Gale. I was too busy cracking up at Gale's misfortune to realize who that left me with.

"And Katniss will be with Clove! Alright, let's get going, Italy awaits!" she shouted just as they called for our flight to begin boarding.

Fuck! That thought ran through my head over and over as I went to stand next to my 'buddy'. Clove was about half a foot shorter than me and there was no way she weighed over a hundred pounds. But damn was she terrifying. Everyone knew she was a total badass, and, unlike Cato, she didn't need huge muscles to intimidate people. She stood with her leather jacket, dark ripped up jeans, and black combat boots, giving me a vicious smirk, and I nearly peed my pants.

I glanced nervously back at Gale who was standing with his crossed, glaring at Cato. Cato just had the same smirk on his face that resided on Clove's. Gale gave me a sympathetic look and I returned it. I stood next to Clove with sigh and bit my lip, trying to look anywhere but at Clove. I slowly realized that that's exactly what she wanted. So with a defiant glare, I turned my head towards her. She was standing there with her arms crossed and an eyebrow raised, looking almost amused. She proved my thoughts correct when she let out a chuckle.

"Oh, Everdeen, won't this trip be...interesting?" she sneered while shouldering her carry-on. She stalked over to wait in line and hand the lady her ticket.

I sighed again and gritted my teeth before grabbing my own bag and following her. I felt my phone buzz and glanced down to see it was a text from Gale who was a few spots behind Clove and I.

Gale: This trip is gonna be interesting

I shook my head at the repeating of Clove's words and replied.

Me: You have no idea

AN: Alright, well I hope you guys enjoyed it! I know it was short, but it was more of just an intro than an actual chapter. Please review and favorite it if you liked it! xoxo
