CLOVES POV

It's our first night in Cheer camp, everyones finally settled in.

"Clove, can you come sleep in my bed with me?" Asks Annie.

"Yeah sure" I slump off the bunk-bed and slither under her covers.

"I can't sleep. I can't believe they banned alocohol this year," She wails.

"It's good Annie, i think you need to lay off," Interrupts Katniss, and this sets Annie off into tears.

"Now look what you've done!" I exclaim, "You need to realise she's sensitive" I moan.

"Blah blah blah" Says Katniss, and i can hear Glimmer giggle over by her bunk. We share a room with this other girl, her name's Elsa. She is the biggest bitch.

"Urgh, shut up over there i'm trying to get my beauty sleep," Murmers Elsa.

"That would require beauty," I whisper to Annie, and she starts to giggle


"EVERYBODY RISE AND SHINE! WE HAVE A BIG DAY AHED, LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!" Shouts Coach Candice through the megaphone.

"URGGGGHHH" we all groan, except Elsa, who's already left this morning.

"Where are the uniforms?" I ask

"I think they're by the door," Says Glimmer

I rush over to them, and pick them up, skim through them to find the one with my name on.

"They're so neat! Pink uniforms!" I excalim.

There was a cheer throughout the room and we all throw off out PJ's and put on the uniforms.

"I love it!" Squeals Katniss

"Same" We chorus.

I throw my hair up into a neat ponytail and wrap the silver and pink ribbon around my hair and tie it into the siginature bow.

"Go bulldogs" I pose, putting on my bright purply-pink lipstick from Mac.

30 minutes later, everyone was read, that was after we took selfies of course, we head down to our base where coach Candice will be coaching our team throughout the camp.

"EVERYBODY IN A LINE" She squeals. Coach Candice is the apitomy of a mans dream, skinny, long blonde hair styled into lush natural beachy waves, sexy exotic voice, but also the mean spirited high-school cheerleader traits she obviously had from her long ago teenhood.

"Too fat, to skinny, don't like your hair, jesus christ sort out those thighs!" She started going down the line pointing out everyones insecurities.

"Okay, so now i just went down the line listing everything thats wrong with them do you know what we're gonna do about that?" She demanded.

"No, Coach Candice," We all say together.

"NOTHING. WE'RE GOING TO DO NOTHING. We're here to cheer and only do that. No drinking, no smoking. No drugs, no partying. No talking to the football teams during practice. If these rules are broken, then gosh darnit you'll never hear the end of it. Got it?"

"Yes, Coach Candice"

"Okay i want you all to practice your kick double baskets. Do three each. This is of course, after i read out the positions," She says as she grabs a pink sparkly clipboard. Oh the irony.

"FLYERS ARE: KATNISS, GLIMMER, CLOVE, ELSA AND PIPPA, CONGRATULATIONS."

Me and the girls all squeal, then we look over to Annie who looks really dissapointed.

"Now Annie, you were supposed to be a flyer, but Elsa came and told me about some drinking problems you'd had, and thought you werent able to be a flyer, so sorry," Says Coach C firmly. Annie's face looks like a slapped ass, and i can't imagine what she must be feeling right now.


"I HATE HER, I HATE HER SO MUCH, THIS IS SO STUPID!" Crys Annie, who is sobbing into Finnicks lap.

"It's okay pumpkin, you'll look gorgeous anyway," Murmurs Finnick, stroking Annies hair.

"NO, nobody understands, i hate my life!" She gets up and runs away, leaving Finnick running after her calling after her.

"Poor little Annie," Sympathises Peeta, who has his arm around Katniss' waist.

"Yeah, i feel so bad for her" I add.

"She'll get over it," Says Katniss

"So anyways, where's Glimmer and Marvel?" she adds

"Um they went for a swim in the lake," Says Cato, who is staring straight at me.

"Clove, can i have a word?" Says Cato to me.

"A word, yes; a sex request, no." I say, and Marv and Glimmer giggle at my snide remark.

Cato grabs my wrist and pulls me away from the two.

"Sorry about everything, so can we start over?" He asks

"Sure" I say, walking away.

Surprisingly he doesn't stop me, and i hear another girls voice behind me. I turn around to see one of the prettiest girls here. She had long red hair and a petite face, along with red lipstick and a very tight dress. Her name was Jackie i think, but everyone calls her Foxface.

"Hey C-Boy" I hear her slur into his ear, and i have to stop myself giggling from the stupid nickname. 'C-boy', wow that name almost made me suicidal.

"Hey gorgeous," He says, putting his hand around her waist. I start to go red and my insides swell with anger. Who is this girl? Why was Cato always hitting on me when he is quite clearly dating another girl. I didn't want to care but i did.

He leans into her and they start doing what me and Annie call tonsil tennis. Making out. They're doing this for a while, then i see his eyes are open and he's staring at me, he can tell i'm shocked by what he's doing and he just keeps staring at me, so i turn around and stomp away.

"Hey Clove, wheres Cato?" Asks Marvel.

"Umm, making out with Jackie,"

"DUDE, no way, Cato is making out with Foxface?" Marvel excalims, and Glimmer nudges him.

"She's the slut of the camp," Scowls Glimmer, and i nod in agreement.

"Why would he do that when he's been trying to get you all summer?" Asks Marvel.

"If i knew, i'd tell you. I'm going to the cabin guys, night," And before they can object i'm on my feet practically running towards the cabin.


I unlock the door to find Elsa on the bed, painting her toes.

"That was a real bitchy move you know," I say to her, and she looks up with a satisfied smile on her bleak face.

"Thanks" She retorts.

"Wasn't a compliment," I scowl

"Well, i'll do anything to get to the top,"

"Literally" I add "You're a flyer now, even though your school is ametur comparred to Annies, and you're letting the team down by doing your little sabotage games" I spit.

"Urgh, spare the sob story, my boyfriend's coming over here in a little while, so go sit in the corner and do whatever you want while we make out," She says dreamily, and i can't stop cringing.

I hop onto my bunk and get out a CHEER! magazine and flick through it, and grab a can of coke out the mini-fridge and snuggle down.


I must of drifted off to sleep, because when i wake i can hear the sound of slobbery kisses going on from underneath me, it must be Elsa and her stupid boyfriend. I put my head over the bunk to see it's Hunter Maloney, Captain of the Red Strikers team.

"Oh my god.." I murmur, and they both look up at me. Elsa suddenly jumps up in shock.

"Oh my god, Clove, please don't tell Coach, please please?" She asks, desperate. By that time Hunter had made his way out of the cabin for a fast and safe exit.

"I AM SO TELLING COACH!" I scream, and run out the cabin, and on the way out i hear Elsa start to sob. Serves her right for taking my best friends spot on the team.

"COACH CANDICE!" I squeal, running into her cabin.

"Yes Clove?" She suddenly jumps up.

"Elsa Hosk is the girlfriend of the Red Strikers captain Hunter Maloney! Our enemies, she's a traitor!" I said, trying to sound innocent. I am desperate to get Annies spot back on the team, i don't actually care that Elsa's dating the second hottest guy on camp, after Thresh Okeniyi.

"Send her here. NOW." Says Coach C, looking seriously furious.

"Okay, on it," I say, heading out the cabin.

Halfway back to the cabin, i get a shock. a huge hand comes towards my face and thats the last thing i see, pain overcomes my petite fragile body and i'm on the floor, my nose is bleeding and the blood is chocking me, and i fall on the floor before i see who it is, but i assume it was Elsa.

"OW" i scream, then i start to cry, and curl up on the floor.

Someone runs over to me,

"CLOVE! CLOVE!" I hear the voice shout.

it's Cato.

I open my eyes and he's above me, looking into my eyes.

"Clove, are you okay? You're bleeding," He says

"No shit sherlock" I retort, and he looks hurt.

"Let me help you up," He suggests.

"No i can do that myself" I say, trying to stand up but then i feel dizzy, and fall back, and just before i hit the ground Cato grabs me.

"No you can't. Here have a tissue," He says, handing me a kleenex.

"Shouldn't you be making out with someone? Jackie Emerson?" I question.

"Oh Clove, that was a stupid joke to make you jealous," Says Cato

I snatch the tissue and blow my nose into it, feeling relieved.

"Anyway, how come you found me?" I ask

"Well i was just taking a stroll around you know.."

"So you were stalking me?" I ask

"Well i wouldn't say stalking" He says innocently.

"Really Cato? I wish you'd leave me alone," I mutter

"Fine then, i'll leave you alone, no i won't, i'll make your life hell" He says grumpily, and slopes off, and i sigh because he's finally got the hint. But i doubt he will really make my life any more hell-ish than it is right now.

I slope back to my dorm and when i get there, all the girls are sat on Annies bed, who seems to have cheered up a lot.

"Hey, i got my spot ba- OH MY GOD" She excalims, seeing the sight of my nose, then they all gasp and run over to me.

"What's happened?" They all ask.

"Well i say Elsa making out with Hunter Maloney, then i went to try and get Annies spot back, which must of worked because Elsa punched me in the face, then Cato said he will make my life hell," I say, getting my breath back.

"Oh my gosh, you're the best friend ever!" She laughs and they all give me a huge hug.

"My nose bled all over my Michael Kors trainers," I say dissapointed.

"You'll be fine Clove, drama queen!" Laughs Glimmer.

"So Katniss, you decided to return from the land of being in love" I say as i clean myself up.

"Yeah, our date was pretty perfect if you ask me, i'm so happy!" She looks dreamily at the stars, then we all make pukey noises and before you know it, we're having a pillow fight. We're interrupted by a knock on the door from Coach Candice.

"Hi girls, i've come to get Elsa's things, she no longer wants to bunk with you girls, which is understandable. Oh and also its time for supper, everyone make their way down to the dining hall immediately,"

We all cheer and skip down to the dining hall, linking arms.

"WE ARE COOL, WE DON'T CARE, FUCK ELSA AND HER STUPID TACKY HAIR, GO BULLDOGSSSS" We all sing until we're eventually dying of laughter.


"I'll have a salad please, a diet coke and a honey low calorie non-fat greek yoghut please Sandra" I smile at the lovely dinner lady at the camp. We all take our seats and see the boys table, and i look over to see Cato whispering into the guys ears and looking at me, then they all bursting out with laughter, and i go bright red and feel so humilated and embarrassed. Why were they talking about me?

"So Finnick gave me a promise ring today," Annie says, and we all gasp and stare at her.

"He promised to love and protect me forever," She says dreamily.

"Oh my god" says Katniss

"So jealous" Says Glimmer

"That's not fair!" I sigh.

"Maybe you shouldn't of fallen out with Cato," Says Annie

"No. He's horrible and i can't stand him!" I exclaim.

"Okay drama queen. Let's carry on eating," Says Glimmer, and we all tuck into our healthy cheer food.
