Clove's P.O.V.
Oh, the horrors of the week before winter break. First grade teachers think they have it bad… but they've never seen the eleventh-grade teachers struggling to maintain a somewhat orderly classroom. It is chaos.
Let me introduce myself here- I'm Clove Renson. Winter break is just a long period of time to relax and not do schoolwork, right? Not in my case. You see, eleventh grade kids are just starting to go on vacations without their parents. I know it may seem far-fetched, but a week before winter break, I was already planning the most awesome vacation ever with my friends.
"I vote France." Rue Orchid, the one and only fashionista, said. "The styles there are amazing, and we could go shopping all day long!"
"Vetoed. I, Peeta Mellark, will never be found in any type of store unless the world is ending or the store happens to be my parents' bakery." Swore Peeta. Katniss laughed and called to him from across the lunch table, "Even Jake's Pizza Parlor?"
"Dude, that's a different story. Everyone has to go to Jake's at least once in their lifetime," Cato Frewer told Katniss. Cato is my awesome boyfriend. He was the one who introduced me to Jake the Pizza Guy, and took me to Jake's Pizza Parlor for the first time. We got together in August, so we've been dating for about five months now.
"What about Australia? They have wicked waves." Suggested Finnick Odair, the son of all-star surfers Nomi and Crest Odair. He's been in the water since he was one, and started surfing when he was two. Honestly, I can't tell if he's human or not. For all I know he could be half-fish.
"Australia is known for shark attacks, too." Added Sparrow Foxman (A.K.A. Foxface). As you can probably tell from her nickname, Sparrow has the likeness of a fox. She's probably the school's most animalistic girl.
"Sharks are seriously misunderstood creatures! The sea is their domain, and we as humans living on land, are intruding in their space! Besides, most shark attacks occur because the shark is either protecting its young, or is provoked because of metal or blood in the water. Metal will attract sharks because it's so shiny. Plus, Fin could just swim away, couldn't he? He won the national championships when he was five." Annie Cresta explained. Annie is Finnick's girlfriend, and the gang's personal encyclopedia. Along with having the knowledge of at least ten grown women, Annie holds the record for the most women's swimming titles in the District.
"Screw Australia, what about Brazil?" Asked Gale Hawthorne. Gale is addicted to soccer, so it made sense for him to suggest the soccer central of the world.
"OMG, like, I could go shopping in Rio! Brazil has such colorful fabrics, I could get a whole new wardrobe!" Rue squealed. Katniss groaned and threw her hands up in the air.
"Can we just go to Canada? They've got tons of woods, and we can leave Rue in Quebec." She sighed.
"I've got it! Greece! Right along the Mediterranean sea is a great place for a vacation!" Annie piped up.
"Egypt!"
"Peru!"
"Mexico!"
"New Zealand!"
"Spain!"
"SHUT UP!" Yelled Madge Undersee. Usually Madge is quiet and passive, so when she yells, everyone listens.
"My Aunt Hazelle (A/N: I know Hazelle is Gale's mom, but I'm just going to make her Madge's Aunt) owns a cabin company in the Highlands of Scotland. I bet she'd let us stay at the cabins for winter break. Heck, she might even pay for us. The snow in the highlands will be pretty, too. What do you guys think?" Madge said.
"I love it! Maybe we can come over to your house on Saturday and read some travel guides." Katniss replied.
"Yeah, sounds cool." Cato added. I nodded and looked at Rue. Surprisingly, she wasn't rolling her eyes at the idea of going to a country that wasn't known for its styles.
"I like it!" Rue smiled. Madge sighed a breath of relief.
"Okay, I'll see all of you at my house on Saturday at noon. Rue, text Thresh and fill him in on the plan. I-" Madge began before the bell rang.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring!
And just like that, my winter break was decided.
