Glimmer's POV: I peer through the door to the math room. There sits Wiress and Beetee...Beetee asked her out a few days ago. Great! Every girl in the school has a boyfriend except for me! Passing by me are Cashmere and Gloss, arms linked. Clove is by her locker with Marvel...I really wanted that dude. But he ran off with Clove, so I hate him now. This is just great, I think the world should rub it in my face-"Oh, sorry," a guy says. He just bumped into me. I think his name is Cato...OMG! I sooooooo want that guy! "No, I'm sorry," I say with a wide smile. He smiles back. "Hey, I gotta go meet my girlfriend. Uh...bye!" And he runs off. Okay, now the universe can rub it in my face.
Now what! Every boy in school is taken except for Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorne. I've never heard of Gale, but I know that Peeta is the nerd with the box head. I hope to see Gale...oh, would you take a look at that! Katniss is with Peeta! Now all that's left is Gale.
Katniss's POV: I look at a sign nearby. The prom is in three days! I'm taking Peeta, he's so hot!
I can't wait! I see a lonely girl walk by. I wonder if she has a boyfriend...
Glimmer's POV: The prom...I still don't have a date. It gets worse...I see Cato again.
He's flirting with the new girl. She looks puny. They must be going to prom together. Go ahead, Panem! Rub it in my face that I don't have a stinkin' date for the pro-
"Sorry, Cato! I just met this really cute guy-" "It's over!" I hear Rue and Cato talking. They just broke up! Now I have a chance to get a d-
"Hey, girl. I notice your...man over there. Looks pretty whimpy. And he's not even on the football team," I hear Cato say. To Clove. Clove shoots a look of disgust to Marvek and shouts, "We're through!" I feel like the universe just exploded.
I think Cato's the head of the football team. "Every girl wants a MVP player...don't you?" Cato flirts. "I certaintly do!" Clove says. Then Cato asks her to prom. And she says it's a "resounding yes!".
So here are the pairs: There's Katniss and Peeta, Clove and Cato, Rue and Whoever-Her-Date-Is, Wiress and Beetee, Cashmere and Gloss, and a million others. So Gale and Marvel are the only ones. I wonder who's hotter...maybe Gale?
Suddenly, Wiress and Beetee come out of the math room. "So that's the girl who doesn't have a date?" I hear Wiress whisper to Beetee. He nodds. I roll my eyes.
Then a really pretty girl walks by. I think her name is Leena. I hear rumors that she's trying to take down Cashmere for Gloss. She turns around and walks up to me. "So you don't have a date to the dance?" she asks me. I nod.
This is fair! Everybody on the stinkin' planet has a boyfriend except for me! Even my history teacher, Mrs. Mags, has a husband! What am I going to do?
