Cato
Clove and I get into the backseat. Aria and Thresh sit in the middle. Lucky. " Hey Marvel! What did Clove do the last time you were in her car?" Marvel laughs. " Want to tell that story Clove?"
" Gladly. So Marvel and Me and McKenna, our friend, were going to the arcade since I thought I was the only one leaving. So I told Marvel that he had to sit in the backseat because I had to tell McKenna something so he was super dramatic and acted all stupid about it." Clove explains.
Marvel fakes offended. " I was not being all dramatic about it!"
Clove laughs. " Sure Marvel. Anyone here a wimp and not going on the extreme rides?"
We are all silent. " Great!" She says.
We arrive at the park twenty minutes later. Clove goes straight to this huge roller coaster with about five drops, and eight loops. We join her in line. Since it's pretty early, and a Friday, the line isn't too bad. Most kids started school a week ago, so we got cheaper tickets. We get to the front of the line, and sit down in the car. I sit next to Clove, Aria and Thresh sit behind us, and Marvel sits by himself, in front of us.
" You ready Clover?" I ask.
" Please." She replies with a smirk. " I was born ready." She grabs my hand. We start to move. We drop, and turn, and go upside down. Clove screeches a high pitch on our first loop.
Afterwards Clove is jumping up and down. " That was fun!"
Aria nods. " Can we go again?"
Thresh shakes his head, " No there is so much more to do!"
Clove.
I decided to do something bold and hold Cato's hand on the ride. He didn't pull away in disgust, so that's a good sign.
We go through a bunch of different rides an I continue to sit next to Cato. Later in the day, Marvel winks at me and nods towards Cato. I glare daggers at him. He starts to laugh.
The end of the day comes too soon and we have to leave the park.
Cato.
We walk toward the car, and I take my seat next to Clove in the back. Clove falls asleep on the ride back, her head resting on my shoulder.
We come to a stop and I tap Clove's shoulder. She wakes up, her green eyes alert, then softening. We climb out of the car. Clove and Aria wave at us and walk to their dorm.
" She totally likes you bro!" Marvel yells at me. " Shut up Marvel!" I yell back. We race to our dorm. " Do you really think she likes me?" I ask. " It's actually pretty obvious." Thresh says. My phone chimes. " Wonder who that is." Marvel mutters.
Clove: Hey Cato! Thank you for inviting me! I had a lot of fun with you.
Cato: Hey Clove! Had fun with you too. Want to compare schedules tomorrow?
Clove: Yeah! Meet at the library's cafè at one?
Cato: Yeah! See you soon.
Clove: Goodnight
Cato: Night.
I don't wake up until nine thirty. The sun shining in my eyes. I wake to Marvel yelling at our XBox and Thresh hitting the WiFi hotspot. I go to the dining hall, grab an apple, and head back upstairs.
"You guys know it's schedule day right?" I ask my roommates. " It is?" Thresh asks confused. " Yeah," I say. " Clove and I are meeting at the library to co"
" Ooh Clove!" Marvel interrupts. " Cato's got a crush!" My face reddens.
" It's about ten now. When do we pick up schedules?" Thresh asks.
" One thirty." I reply.
We play video games and watch TV until it's time for us to go downstairs. We get our schedules and I head to the library. Clove isn't there yet, so I wait at a table my schedule in hand.

Clove walks quickly into the library and sits down. " Sorry I'm late."
"It's fine." At that, she hands me her schedule.
" We have four classes together." I say.
" Great!" She replies. " You guys want to come over for a movie at seven?"
" Sure!" I say. " What movie?"
" How about the Avengers?" She asks.
" Totally! We'll see you at seven." I say.
She walks out of the library.
Clove
It's now six fifty and I have blankets and popcorn on my desk. Aria lays on her bed reading. " Thresh is so cute!" She squeals putting her book down on her nightstand. I laugh. " I guess so,"
" Who's your favorite Avenger. I love Black Widow. She's so cool!" Aria exclaims.
" I really like Wanda. You know, the Scarlet Witch." I reply.
" Yeah! She's so powerful though!" Aria says.
" Duh! That's why I like her!" I say.
Cato, Marvel, And Thresh walked into our dorm. " Hey ladies!" Thresh exclaims. Aria blushes.
Cato grabs a blanket and sits down next to me, his arm around my shoulder. The blanket is only on him. I tug on it lightly. "Share." I say smiling. Cato laughs and spreads out the blanket. Aria starts the movie and passes out popcorn. Marvel turns out the light.

Clove lies curled n a ball next to me. She fell asleep about twenty minutes ago. The movie ends, and we wave to Aria.
