A/N: This is my first Fanfiction and I decided to base it on Cato and Clove, the first chapter is quite long but I hope you like it anyway! Please review! Xx
Clove POV
Beep-beep. Beep-beep. I lift my arm and slam it down on the alarm clock causing sudden silence! I bury my face into the pillow and try to sleep again. No use. Slowly I drag myself out of bed and dress into some suitable winter school clothes. It's now January and it's the first day back after the Christmas holidays. I'm walking across my garden (that is now covered in a beautiful thin white layer of snow) when I hear my name.
"Hey Clove wait up!" I recognize the voice immediately. Cato.
We have been best friends since we were little. We walk to school slowly, talking about our Christmas holidays. We reach the school gates and the bell sounds, we join the group of kids pushing and shoving through the oh to familiar doors. Cato isn't in my first lesson which is C.S with the over enthusiastic Miss Trinket! I say bye to Cato and head off down the hall towards my hour of boredom and inevitable detention. In my last report Miss Trinket said that I was 'an enthusiastic pupil with no confidence issues and a strong willed attitude. Sadly she said these for all the wrong reasons. I continue down the corridor to where Katniss and Glimmer are leaning on the faded red lockers that are now turning a shade of light pink.
"C'mon Clove! The lessons nearly started and you know how much Miss Trinket hates late students!" Katniss says bouncing off the locker and beginning towards the door.
"Yes, you don't want the must follow schedule lecture again do you? " Glimmer cocks her head to the side expecting an answer.
"Nah, she'll just chuck me in detention for like the 152nd time! I say reluctantly heading for the door.
"Don't push your luck Sullivan! Next time you'll get suspension." says Katniss opening the door fully.
I roll my eyes as the sound if pre-lesson chatter fills my ears, I walk in last and shut the door behind me and groan slightly knowing this lesson will last forever...Miss Trinket is scribbling ferociously on the blackboard as glimmer and I silently slip into our seats at the back of the room. I look around for Katniss and see that she is sat next to lover boy Peeta Mellark. I notice a boy and a girl with identical wavy brown hair and sea green eyes, seated at the front of the class next to Miss Trinket's desk (unlucky for some) which makes me wonder if they are related. Miss Trinket eventually turns from her scribbles and claps her hands together making half asleep students like myself start.
"Good morning class "she chirps enthusiastically. " As some of you, who aren't Darius, may have noticed" she says directing her eyes towards a red haired boy sat in the middle of the classroom staring at Katniss which makes me laugh slightly. "We have two new students joining us this year. Finnick Odair and Annie Cresta." Her grin could now be seen from space.
I shake my head and take my pen knife from my pencil case, zoning out from the lesson completely and running the smooth, cold blade between my fingers. I'm not sure how Miss Trinket never notices this but then again she is probably too caught up in her own little world to care. I only look up when I hear my name and see that the girl is walking up the aisle towards the seat next to me, occupied by my bag. I grab the strap and hurl it under my feet before the girl plonks herself down on the chair and leaves her books on the table.
"Annie" she says quietly when Miss Trinket starts talking again.
"Clove and this is Glimmer." I smile and gesture next to me.
I go back to messing with my pen knife, carefully carving my name into the soft wood, I look up expecting to see Miss Trinket babbling on about how great the capitol is...only to find that she is not there. I turn towards Glimmer who is staring to my left in complete horror; I slowly shift my gaze noticing that Annie is suppressing a grin. I continue my gaze upwards staring straight into the face of Miss Trinket; her pursed lips and narrowed eyes tell me that I have landed myself in detention! "Clove Sullivan! What on earth do you think you are doing with a penknife on school premises? Hand it here immediately! Do you know what that is?" She squeaks pointing to my desk.
"Err wood?" I look around me and notice that a few people are sniggering.
"NO THAT IS MAHOGANY! DETENTION!"
This sends Annie over the edge and into a full blown fit of laughter, which makes most of the class also erupt into hysterics.
"Do you find something funny Miss Cresta?" She says raising her eyebrow inquisitively.
"Ermm...N-No Miss..." She says still in absolute hysterical laughter.
"Well let's see how funny you find detention hmmm?"
She totters back over to her desk in her ridiculously high shoes and takes out two yellow pieces of paper before scribbling down something and handing them back to us before going to sit down behind her desk. Annie is still clutching her stomach in laughter, while the rest of the lesson is silent until the bell goes and everyone files out of the room.
I walk to the canteen with Annie, Finnick and Cato and we find an empty table at the far corner of the room, we are talking about Annie and Finnick's first day when I notice Peeta, Katniss, Glimmer and Marvel looking around the room and I call them over. We all squish up as they try to fit to fit around the circular table.
"Who are they?" Marvel says pointing in the direction of Annie and Finnick.
"This is Annie and Finnick." I say happily, while gesturing towards them and then I go round the rest of the table, "and this is Marvel, Glimmer, Cato, Peeta and Katniss.
Cato POV
I walk to my next lesson with Clove, which is M.S (military studies) with Mrs Coin. We sit at the table furthest to the back and I place my book on the desk. This lesson is usually long and boring as Mrs Coin just nags on about special training you have to go through to join the capitol military and suddenly I feel a sharp nudge in my ribs, I sit up and notice that my vision is yellow. I am slightly confused by this until it is ripped from my forehead taking several of my beloved hairs with it. It was Clove and she hands me the piece of paper, it's a detention slip for falling asleep in lesson again! I look at Clove and she is grinning to herself.
"What are you laughing at?" I ask slightly confused. We are leaving the room as she pulls out a yellow piece of paper.
"Because I've got detention to!"
