About an hour after the hilarious incident with Marvel, I'm cruising down the hall when the bell rings. Within seconds, the hallway is flooded with the bodies of teenagers desperately trying to get to their next class without being late. They push, shove, and throw others to the ground to get where they're going. Suddenly I feel someone grab my arm and lead me through the people and into an empty hallway.
As soon as I'm released, I spin around to see the face of my rescuer/kidnapper. A medium height blond guy with crystal blue eyes is standing there, most likely waiting for my reaction. I'm unsure of whether to slap him or thank him. Don't be scary Clove. You need to make friends. I refuse to let you be the lonely loser again.
"Thanks." I say, giving him a small smile.
"No problem. I'm Peeta. I'm guessing you're the new kid that Glimmer lost." Glimmer thinks she lost me? Wow. I haven't seen her at all since this morning. That's new.
"I guess." I say with a shrug. "I'm Clove."
"Well then Clove, I'll see you around." He tosses me a quick smile and disappears around the corner, leaving me alone in the dark deserted hallway.
I wander for a few more hours before Glimmer finds me.
"There you are! I've been looking all over for you! Did you get lost?" she exclaims. She seems out of breath, like she's been running.
"Yeah, sure." I don't feel like coming up with some story to satisfy her.
"Well then, I'm sure you've seen the majority of the school, and the final bell is about to ring, so how about we just head back to office, hm?" She guide me back to the office, chattering the entire way.
When we get there, the secretary starts quizzing me on what I'd seen during my "tour".
"Did you see the Theatre Room? Simply splendid! The Board of Education spent a small fortune on our school's arts programs! And don't even get me started on our history programs, amazing!" I just nod and 'uh-huh' until she finally stops. "Well then, your classes start tomorrow, so you should go home and get a good night's sleep!"
As I'm leaving, the secretary yells after me, "Goodbye, dear!" Sigh. Thank God it's over. Miraculously, that day hadn't sucked as much as I thought. Yay.
