I drove through the gates to the school and parked my car in one of the nearby spots. It was far enough away to not be claimed by some self important jock, but not so far away as to make me walk for ages. Plus I was parked near Katniss' car.

I walk up to the entrance and see the group of people who are here to welcome me! What a lovely sight! I walk over to quite close to them and clear my throat ever so slightly. Katniss immediately looks up and screams 'Clover!' She immediately comes and hugs me. The others all follow suit finishing with a big bear hug that can only be Finnick's.

'Hey Clovie' he whispers in my ear, 'I can't believe that I get to see you for so long again!'

I pull away chuckling, 'Thanks Finn, I missed you too!' I address them all, 'In fact I missed all of you! I can't believe that I actually go to school with you guys now!'

They all look very pleased and we go inside the building. Katniss offers to come with me to get my timetable, locker number and other admin and the others head straight off to our year's locker room. We have an extra long time before we have to meet our tutors, and then an extra long tutor time before lessons to help everyone get settled in and sorted.

Once we have my timetable, Katniss and I compare. 'Yes Clovie, we've got Sport and Biology together!'

We only have to do 4 subjects and along with those 2 I am taking Chemistry and Maths. Katniss is taking Music and Art. But we both have sports at the forefront! I am very glad that I have at least 3 of my classes with someone I know, especially Katniss, together we will make the work so much more fun!

…..

We walk into the locker room which is surprisingly nice, much nicer than my last school! I am locker 76 so Katniss comes with me to show me to my locker, she then leaves, telling me that hers is 34, on the third row down and that the others will be there when I am done putting things in my locker.

Since this is the first day and I haven't had any lessons yet I can only put my sports kit, my folders, pens and paper into my locker, I don't have any extra books. I try and sort out my stuff quickly so that I can return to the others.

As I close my locker door I see a tall blond boy staring in my direction from a few lockers down the row. It seems as though he is looking at me, but other than the fact that I'm new, I can't see why he has the need to stare at me for quite that long. I put off the idea that the stare means anything and head to Katniss' locker to find the others.

…

CATO'S P.O.V

Who is that girl? She must be new, I noticed her with Katniss, Finnick and the others outside the entrance. How she knows them is beyond me. Wait, maybe she's the athlete and swimmer that Finnick and Katniss are such good friends with, they always go and see this girl at meets.

I notice that I'm staring at the girl, who is yet to see me. She's very pretty, long dark hair tied up in a pony tail and green eyes. She seems to be very small, much smaller than I would have imagined, but she still has the classic look of a runner, slim body and high head.

The girl turns round and notices me staring, she shrugs it off as if it's nothing. Any other girl would be running towards me if I so much glanced their way. But this girl, she's different to the others, different to that classic blond bimbo that walks these halls. That intrigues me.

…

I am enveloped in a Finnick Hug as I reach the locker and I hug him back in our sibling like relationship. This is Finn's way of saying 'Good Luck today' and 'If you need me I'll be here'. I like that he is such a good supportive friend and tht he is protective of me, he always has been, it makes me feel safe.

'Oi, Finnick, you've already got your own girl, hands off!' A blond haired, tall boy quips from the other side of the group.

'Careful Marvel, this is my 'almost little sister' you're talking about here' Finn replies with a slight edge to his voice.

'Calm it Finn,' Annie says, 'I'm sure Clove is perfectly able to handle crazy Marvel over there!' She turns to me, 'Clove if you hadn't already guessed, that hulk over there is Marvel, he wasn't able to do athletics last season because of an injury, that's why you haven't met him.' Marvel gives me a wave, 'Oh and don't take much of what he says seriously, he's a bit of a joker.'

Everyone gives a small chuckle, 'Hey but you all know that deep inside you think I'm hilarious, oh and wait for it, MARVELOUS, oh yes I did!' I let out a little laugh as the others grown at the seemingly over used joke.
