I don't own any of the characters or songs apart from the ones I created :)
Clove
I jumped out of bed sweat dripping down my face. Panting I looked around searching my room checking it was safe. Noticing my clock I groaned as I realised what time it was. It was half past four in the morning. I wasn't meant to getting up for another hour for my run. Collapsing back on my bed I picked up my phone and checked through the messages. My boyfriend Gloss had sent me several texts telling me goodnight and that he loved me. I smiled then went through the rest. Glimmer had sent me a text asking why I wasn't at school yesterday. Throwing my phone across my bed I stood up and stretched then walked over to my wardrobe. Quickly pulling out my gym shorts and shirt I carefully plodded downstairs trying not to wake my step dad up. Making my way out into the dark I started running my usual path around the estate as normal until I noticed something. A light was on in a window and a boy was staring out of it watching me. He looked at me sleepily then turned off his light. It was only two weeks into the first term at my new high school so I had not seen many peoples faces. I had moved here from a different school because of things that had happened at my old school and was in my ninth year at school.
Shaking my head I carried on running until I reached my point then ran back. As I opened the door I realised a light was on and I sighed.
"Clove?" my dad called from the living room and I walked in to find him sitting on his chair in the corner of the room.
"What are you doing up dad?" I asked looking up at the clock.
It was only six thirty and usually it was later than this I would get him up.
"Clove you need to start getting more sleep sweetheart. I know its hard for you but you can't keep doing this," he said and I shifted on my feet.
"I know I'm sorry I'll just take sometime to get used to this house," I told him hugging him.
"Good girl now go get ready for school," he said and I nodded heading up the stairs.
Quickly I pulled on my clothes then ran downstairs. I grabbed a granola bar and ran out the door after shouting bye to my dad.
I started making my way down the road towards my school. It was only seven but it was a forty five minute walk and I had to find Katniss.
Suddenly a car ran past me and music was blasting from it. I ignored it as people started shouting at me from it.
"Hey sweetheart come on you know you wanna come with us!" One shouted at me and I turned the corner disgusted.
As they zoomed past I put my earphones in. Lady Gaga blasted out my earphones and I smiled. She was one of my favourite artists.
"I'm gonna marry the night. Not gonna give up on my life. I'm a warrior queen with passion and freedom tonight!" I sung quietly when suddenly my phone rang.
"Hey," I said quietly.
"Hey babe," Gloss said into the phone and I smiled.
"Hey how are you?" I asked smiling.
"I'm good. Hey would you like to come to mine tomorrow?"
"Of course I'm sure my dad will be fine with it," I said and then another call came through.
"I have to go love you," I said.
"Awww love you too," he said before hanging up.
Answering Katniss's call I smiled as I heard her voice.
"Hey Kat!" I said and I smiled as I heated her rushed reply.
"Hey Clove! Guess who I've just seen? It was Peeta and he smiled at me! Can you believe that Clove?"
"That's great! You should just go talk to him already. You both obviously want to know each other," I said and she sighed.
"Fine ill try today promise," she sighed and I laughed.
"Good!" I said and she laughed again.
"So how about you and Gloss? When are you gonna become more older Clove and wear clothes that aren't tomboyish and more girly? You've got to realise we're not in juniors any more. We're in year ten now you need to wear skirts and act like you are," she said and I sighed.
"This is just who I am Katniss," I said sighing.
The truth was I didn't want to grow up. I wanted to hold on to my old self and try to stay like this forever. Katniss carried on for at least half an hour about it before I got to school.
"Kat I'm going now," I said and I heard her sigh.
"Fine ill see you in tutor," she said.
Hanging up I walked into school towards my hiding spot...
I sat through Spanish doodling in the back of my book. As the bell rang I walked out of class down the corridor when suddenly I heard singing.
Turning the corner I looked through the door to find five students.
One was a small petite girl with sake skin and I smiled at her small form whizzing round dancing. Next to her was a red headed girl dancing holding hands with a tall boy with sandy hair. Next to them was a large boy with dark skin and restless eyes. Finally there was a tall brown haired boy with dark coloured hair and broad shoulders.
"That was great guys now were gonna go down to the hall so you can audition," he said leading them out another entrance.
Cautiously I followed until we ended up at the school hall which had a desk and a chair as well as a stage at the far end. I hovered by the door as they made there way down and the teacher sat on the chair with the rest behind him on stools.
"So this is glee club and you signed up to audition. We will be going to competitions all around the world and having fun. So we will start with Rue Smaulding," he said and the small girl stood up and walked up to the stage.
"I will be singing the first eight lines of castle on a cloud from Les Miserables," she said before standing in the middle of the stage.
I sat upright as I heard this as it was my favourite musical.
"There is a castle on a cloud. I like to go there in my sleep. Aren't any floors for me to sweep. Not in my castle on a cloud. There is a lady all in white holds me and sings a lullaby. She's nice to see. And she's soft to touch. She says Corsete I love you very much," Rue sang softly her voice sweet and high.
She did a walk and run of the stage over to sit next to the dark skinned boy who ruffled her hair.
"That was amazing rue. Okay now we have Finch and Peeta" he said and the boy and girl walked up to the stage.
"We will be singing the elephant love melody from moulin rouge," the boy said smiling.
"I was made for loving you baby you were made for loving me."
"The only way of loving me baby is to pay a lovely fee," Finch sung her voice sharp.
"Give me one night. Just one night," he sung taking her hand.
"There's no way because you can't pay," she sung softly taking her hand away from his.
"In the name of love! One night in the name of love," he said lifting her in the air.
"You crazy fool. I won't give into you."
"Don't leave me this way. I can't survive without your sweet love oh baby don't leave me this way," he said grabbing her arm softly as she attempted to walk away.
"You would've thought that people would've had enough of silly love songs," she sung putting her hands on his chest.
"I look around me and think it isn't true."
"Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs."
"We'll what's wrong with that? I'd like to know. Because here I go again! Love lifts us up where we belong!" He shouted jumping off the stage.
"Love makes us act like we are fools," Finch finished softly while jumping into his arms.
"That was amazing you two! So I'm guessing you go out?" He said looking down at his sheet.
"Erm no just best friends," Peeta said smiling at him.
I was shocked. The way they were acting made me feel like they were going out. It seamed real.
"Okay Thresh and Gale have already auditioned so I guess that's it! We're going to have to get more people to join though because there's not a lot of you," he said turning to them all.
They all smiled and followed him out the hall chatting between themselves. As soon as they had gone I walked slowly down the hall until I reached the stage. Sitting down at the piano that was at the side I let my fingers slide over them before starting to play.
"I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side," tears were falling softly down my face now,
"When you walk away I count the steps that you take. Do you see how much I need you right now? .When you're gone. The pieces of my heart are missing you.
When you're gone. The face I came to know is missing too. When you're gone. The words I need to hear to always get me through the day. And make it OK. I miss you."
Suddenly I noticed there was a boy stood in the corner of the stage watching me wide eyed. Quickly I got up from the piano.
"I'm sorry I know I'm bad," I said turning away from him.
"No wait!" He shouted and I spun round, "That was amazing. You have a great voice."
He was walking towards me and sudden I realised it was the boy from a few of my classes. His had dark blonde hair and blue eyes that reminded me of my real mums eyes.
"I'm Cato," he said holding out his hand.
"Im Clove," I said taking it.
"Do you sing anything else?" He asked and I nodded.
"Do you sing?" I asked and he laughed.
"In the shower occasionally," he said smiling.
"You wanna try?" I asked and he laughed.
"Sure Ill try," he said and I laughed.
"Do you know any good ones?" He asked and I smiled.
"What about I've had the time of my life?" I asked him and his face lot up.
"That's an amazing song!" He said and I laughed.
"You ever seen dirty dancing Cato?" I asked and he looked confused.
"What's that?"
"It doesn't matter your ready?" I asked and he nodded.
"Now I've had the time of my life. And I never felt this way before and I swear its the truth and I owe it all to you," he said holding my hand and spinning me round.
I laughed, "cause I had the time of my life and I owe it all to you."
"I've been waiting for so long. Now I've finally found someone to stand by me," he said dancing slowly.
"We saw the writing on the wall. And we felt this magical fantasy," I sung and he pulled me towards him then away again.
"Now with passion in our eyes. There's no way we could disguise it secretly. So we take each others hand. 'Cause we seem to understand the urgency," he said grabbing my waist and picking me up into the air.
I saw him frown as he picked me up and I was confused for a moment then his smile was back again.
"Just remeber!" he shouted.
"Youre the one that," I sung and he cut across, "I can't get enough of!"
"So I tell you something," I sung and he joined me, "this could be love."
I ran backwards and he laughed then nodded.
"Because I've had the time of my life!" we sung as I ran towards him and he picked me up into the air and I tried to get into the right position, "and I've never felt this way before. And its true cause I owe it all to you."
Our voices died down as he lifted me down and looked into my eyes. We leaned towards each other then I looked away. Suddenly we heard clapping and both of us turned round our eyes wide. The teacher stood there and we realised he had heard the whole thing.
"That was amazing you two. If your intrested you both have a deffinate place in the club," Mr Woodcock said and I saw Cato smiling.
"I'd deffinatley love to," Cato said and I thought about it.
I knew Chaff wouldn't like me spending more time away from him yet I enjoyed singing. All though I wouldn't like being around a lot of people.
"I'd like to please sir," I mumbled quietly.
"The first meeting takes place tomorrow at lunch. Cato I would just like to talk to you about your homework for a moment," he said and we both nodded.
I made my way to the door and walked out only to be pulled to the side harshley.
"What the hell was that?" Gloss shouted at me grabbing my wrists pressing down on them.
"Gloss your hurting me," I whimpered.
"I dont care! What the hell were you doing with that Cato person! How dare you cheat on me!" he screamed pressing down harder.
"Gloss please I wasn't cheating on you I was auditioning for a club with him it was nothing," I cried out.
Suddenly his hand connected with my face and I screamed out. His eyes softened a bit then widened.
"Never do it again. I want you to quit this club and never see him again is that okay?" he said storming off.
Tears welled in my eyes as I raised myself of the floor. I could feel a bruise coming on and I knew I was going to have them on my wrists too. Suddenly I heard a door open and then running footsteps. Someone helped me to my feet and I looked around to see Cato.
"Clove what happened?" he asked and I backed away from him, "Clove are you okay?"
"Yeah I just walked into the wall now stay away from me!" I said before turning the corner my skirt blowing around me.
He called after me but I didn't listen as the first tear fell down my face. I quickly made my way towards the toilets. As soon as I got there I went and locked myself in the toilet tears streaming down my face. Sobbing I hid my face in my hands as I slumped against the stall wall.
How could Gloss do that to me? He had always been loving to me and always cared for me. Now he had hit me. I supose it had been my fault as I had danced with Cato.
I got my phone out my pocket and got the mirror out to see what it looked like. It was red and swollen. Gloss was strong and I knew he hadd'nt hit me as hard as he could.
Suddenly my phone started ringing and Katniss's face poped up on my screen.
"Kat," I said my voice shallow.
"Clove where are you? Why do you shound like your crying?" Kat asked her voice worrying.
"Come to the 1st social area toilets please," I begged my coice breaking.
"On my way," she said then hung up.
Aftera few minutes I heard the bathroom door open then a voice whisper, "Clove?"
"In here," I said unlocking the door and she stepped in locking it behind her.
"What happened?" she asked touching the spot he had hit me, "Clove?"
"He hit me Kat," I whispered looking down.
"He what?" she screached going to unlock the door.
"Kat it was my fault I was dancing with Cato and he saw then got angry. It was completley my fault," I said.
She passed me a tissue and I wiped my eyes.
"That doesnt mean he should hit you Clove!" She almost screamed.
"It was one time. It probably won't happen again," I said when suddenly a sharp pain went up my face again and I gritted my teeth, "I just wanna go home Kat."
She nodded then got out her phone and clicked on a number.
"Gale can you take me and Clove to her house please?" She asked and I could hear Gale laughing about how she had become a rebel.
"Hurry please. Meet us at the car in five," she said before hanging up.
"Kat you do realise Gale auditioned for glee club don't you?" I asked her and she laughed.
"No but I do know hes a good singer so I can see why. How do you know?" she asked raising her eyebrows.
"Because I tried out," I whispered and she smiled.
"Really? Thats amazing whens first practice?" she asked and I looked away.
"I'm not going."
We walked out of the toilets and down towards the car park. Gale was in the twelth year of our school in our sixform. He was Katniss's cousin from her mothers side. He had short stook up brown hair and sharp green eyes.
As we reached the car we heard a shout from behind us.
"Hey rebels whats up?" he shouted and Katniss frowned.
"Gale just hurry up!" she shouted and I shrunk back.
"I'm coming now get in the car!" Gale shouted and me and Katniss got into the back of the car.
"So whats up you two?" Gale asked getting into the front of the car and starting the engine.
He looked in the mirror and I saw his eyes widen.
"Clove what happened to your face?" he asked and I looked at Katniss.
Katniss looked at me and I nodded slowly. Gale pulled down and started down the road.
"Gloss hit her," Katniss mumbled and Gale hit the breaks hard throwing us forward.
"He what!" he shouted.
"Gale calm down," I mumbled and I could hear him breathing heavily.
All three of us had been close for years and Gale had been the most protective.
"He hit you Clove?" he asked.
"Yeah but it was my fault Gale. I was dancing with Cato," I whispered.
"He still shouldn't hit you," he said angrily.
"Can we just go home?" I mumbled and Gale nodded.
As we went home all I could think of was the scene of Gloss hitting me over and over...
