Annie
I wake to the sound of my alarm clock blaring in my ear, practically screaming, "Get your butt out of bed!". I sigh and sit up in my queen sized bed. I look around my room and sigh once more, pulling my iPhone off of the charger, just checking for some texts from my friends. Only one.
From Kiity Kat

Hey chika! B there in like 30 or so
~Kat
My eyes widen when I see the time it was sent. I groan and throw the big fluffy blanket off my body and run to the bathroom. I quickly brush my hair and teeth and spray a little perfume on before applying lip gloss and eyeliner. Shutting the lights off I go to the closet and pick my outfit out. Just a white skirt and a lace shirt, with vintage saddle shoes . I make my bed and grab my bag and run down the stairs. I grab a granola bar and throw the trash in the garbage when I hear a horn honk for a long period of time. I laugh and run out the door, not even bothering to yell goodbye because mom and dad are already at work. I run down the drive so that the girls won't get impatient.
"Hey chik!" Katniss greets. I smile and get in the front seat of Katniss's convertible. She pulls the car out of park just as I pull on my seatbelt. "So, we just have to pick up Clove and Madge."
"Kay." I say taking a bite of m granola bar. I take the time to look at what Katniss is wearing today. She rocks a coral blazer with a NIC+ZOE Party top, paired with a basic pair of jeans. Along with that she wears purple canvas shoes. I look over the door and watch as the other huge houses go by. I'm pulled out of my thoughts by a loud holler, thanks to Katniss.
"Hey Chic!" Clove hollers throwing her bag and herself into the backseat. She wears her normal. A tank top that is pretty flowy around her torso, grey linen shorts. She pairs that with white leather oxford pumps. "What up, crazy?"
"Not much, psycho." I retort. Although I do laugh in my head at her good nickname she came up for me when we first. I was on a sugar high and was acting kind of, well crazy.
"OH… nice one. I might need some ice for that burn. "She says and I smile. By that time Katniss was already driving to the mayor's house to pick up Madge, his daughter. She is one of the girls in our little 'clique'. There's us and Glimmer, but she drives to school with her boyfriend, Marvel, and Johanna. They're a really cute couple. Clove also has a boyfriend, Cato. Katniss is going out with Peeta. Madge, Johanna and I are the only singles of the group. I'm pulled of my thoughts, again, by the sounds of feet pounding on the pavement. "Hi Madge."
"Hey Guys!" she exclaims throwing her bag and herself in the backseat, kind of like Clove did only a lot more graceful. Clove is not the most coordinated person in the world. Katniss starts driving towards the school and I turn the radio on. I sit back until I realize what station it's on. The oldies, so I take charge and turn it to 98.7 WMZ FM. The best song is one and I start to sing along. Clove joins in and soon Madge does to. Katniss just bobs her head, trying to not crash.
"To-o-uch, you get this kind of ru-u-ush, Baby, say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ,if you don't wanna take it slow, and you just wanna take me home, baby, say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" We sing/ exclaim. "And let me kiss you!"
"You guys are so weird." Katniss claims as we finish. I look around and realize that we're at the school and see that the guys, Finnick, Cato, Gale, Marvel and Peeta, are waiting for us. They wear amused faces. I look down and grab my bag. I notice that when I get out the girls follow in pursuit. Clove runs o Cato's side and hugs him as he wraps his huge arms around her. Peeta hugs Katniss from the back and kisses her hair. I smile at thinking of me in that kind of relationship, secure, in love. I look sheepishly at the ground to hide a content blush as I think of being in a relationship like that.
"Okay love birds, let's go before I throw up!" Finnick exclaims. He wears some khaki cargo shorts and navy blue button up and a pair of converse. I can't help but think of how cute he looks, other girls can't either apparently by the looks he's getting. I blush, once again. Madge nudges me and gives me a curious look. I just shake my head with a reassuring smile. She shrugs and throws her backpack over her shoulder.
"Well as much as I would love to stay and chat, I don't exactly want to be late to Mr. Abernathy's class." Madge says and everyone looks at their schedules. "Today is the only day he's sober," she quickly mentions, clearly not wanting to be late. "I'm leaving in 3 seconds."
"Calm down, Madge!" Katniss exclaims and Gale rushes forward to her side. They shyly smile at each and wave to the group. I laugh and look at my schedule.

I sigh and look at everyone else. "Anybody got Ms. Trinket first?"
"Yeah," Finnick says readjusting his messenger bag. Everyone is looking at me with this knowing look. They know how I feel about Finnick. I give them the 'shut up' look when Finnick turns around to ask if anyone else had her. They shake their heads and Finn and I start to walk off. "See you guys later."
"Okay." Katniss answers for the rest of the since they're too busy making kissy faces at us. I roll my eyes and turn around and hear faint laughing behind us.
"So, how was your summer?" Finnick asks.
"I spent most of the summer with you guys at the pool, Finn." I laugh. I'm pretty sure he has the attention span of a squirrel. "How, exactly, do you forget that when we were just at the pool at least 4 days ago?"
"I know, but what about when you weren't with us." He says. "Like that one day. Or week, I don't know I've eaten since then."
"I noticed." I tell him and laugh at his confused expression. "I had dance and voice lessons."
"Did you just call me fat?" He asks me. I nod and he sighs.
"Were you not listening to what I was saying like 2 seconds ago?" I ask him and he shakes his head. I laugh. Attention span of a gerbil, now. We get to the classroom but he keeps walking. "Where are you going? The classroom is literally right here."
"Oh I know, I have Abernathy first." He informs me. Then he winks and says, "See ya later, Annie."
I stand at the door way with a confused expression on my face, as I watch him walk down the hallway and up the stairs.
What just happened?
