Delly POV-
Hi. I'm Delly Cartwright, but you can just call me Delly. I've been living alone, in my own dorm, for the past two months which has actually been quite peaceful if you think about it. No dormmate snoring at two in the morning, no noisy people I don't know or care about and lot's of extra space!
Today is Wednesday, October 31st, other wise known as Halloween. Oh dear lord, help us all. This is going to be a long day. Let's just say I've watched enough shows to know that at these type of schools, Halloween never turns out the way people want it to. There's pranks, scares, really freaky costumes, and plenty of Haunted Houses. There's no Halloween Dance tonight, but there will be Haunted Houses every where, opening up at five.
So far, I've made a total of one friend at this school, but that's all I need. Her name is Leevy. She's a really quiet person, quite like myself, and doesn't go out seeking for attention everyday, especially from guys. Like me, Leevy has only made one friend, myself. We don't care about others, we only need each other and we're fine.
A couple days ago, my peacefulness of living alone was completely ruined when some chic 'Olivia' appeared at my doorstep, claiming she was my new roomy. I didn't believe her at first, thinking it was a six-month-early April Fools joke of some kind. So I made my way down to the Head Office and had an annoying chat with our all-too-chirpy secretary, Effie Trinket. But she prefers us to just call her Effie, apparently it doesn't make her feel as old. Ha! It's too late for that, she's old in everyone's eyes! 'Effie' explained how Olivia was correct and that I now have a roommate.
Now I only get to use half of the amount of space I had before. My side of the room is a sort of bluey-greyish, while her's is all happy and full of orange, lime green and purple. Ugh, what a dreadful colour coordination.
Anyways, back to my day. I just woke up, to my extremely irritating alarm clock. I wish I never had to use it, but it's the only one I have and I'm quite a heavy sleeper, so I'm not able to wake up on my own. After I throw my pillow at the damn thing, finally making it shut up, I drag myself out of bed. Sadly, my attempt failed, and I ended up on the floor. Moaning, I pushed my self up, and made my way over to the washroom. I had a quick shower, washed my face, brushed my teeth and brushed my hair.
Today, all students are expected to wear their Halloween costume to class. So I headed over to my closet, and pulled my fake wedding dress off it's hanger. You see, I was dressing up as a dead bride. Making my way to the bathroom once again, I changed out of my Tweety-Bird pyjamas, and into the silky gown. I grabbed some face paint from a drawer along with a blush brush. After covering every inch of skin seen with white, I put on a lair of blood red lipstick, and created an unreal, but quite realistic cut, mid-neck.
Grabbing my text books for the day, I slipped on a pair of my best white flats, which contained a large bow at the toes, and headed down to the Cafeteria, which I presume is where Olivia is, for I didn't see her in bed this morning.
Walking down the halls, I saw fake cobwebs, spiders, and monsters everywhere. What did I tell you?
Once I reached the Cafeteria, I searched the room for Leevy. She told me yesterday, that she would be dressing up as Hermione Granger from "Harry Potter", so I looked for a person wearing a black, floor-length robe, and bushy brown hair. It didn't take too long to find her, for she was about ten feet away from me, already eating breakfast. I got in line and grabbed some waffles and a glass of milk, then sat next to her. We talked about Halloween, Haunted Houses and Olivia. I really didn't like her. She hung out with Katniss' crowd, so that's my main reason, but she was also quite talkative and tried to be sarcastic with me all the time. So yeah, not my type of girl.
After breakfast, 'Hermione' and I made our separate ways, and I was off to History. As I turned a corner, a vampire jumped out at me and scared me out of my wits. Screaming, I bolted it down the hall and screeched to a halt just outside my classroom door. I walked casually inside, not wishing people to think of me as a wimp.
After both History and Math class, I made my way back to the Cafeteria for lunch. I entered to a room full of laughter, screams, fangs and wigs. As I made my way to the lunch line, I saw Olivia sitting with Katniss' Crew, ugh I hate them, They think they're so cool, but they're really not. Sure, they're the most popular group at this school, but I just find them snobby and horrible- wait, is she flirting with Gale Hawthorne? Ha! She won't have even a percentage of a chance with him! Great, now he's nodding his head and laughing. Huh, seems like he finally got over Catpiss. Ignoring them, I grab my food and eat.
Classes ended at 2:30 on the dot, and everyone rushed out of class. I headed up to my dorm, and chucked my books and papers on my bed. After I quickly touched up my make-up, I made my over to the door. Just as I was about to exit the room, I bumped into Olivia and found myself tumbling to the floor.
"Jeez, watch where you're going." Olivia mumbled while rubbing her head.
Well that was a but harsh wasn't it? Ugh, I thought to myself.
Grabbing the door handle, and pulling myself up, I made my way to the front entrance of the school, that's where Leevy and I decided to meet.
Katniss POV-
After classes ended, I met up with Peeta.
"Hey Peeta." I said to him, when he wasn't looking. Therefore, causing him to jump.
"Woah, hey beautiful." He smiled at me and leaned in for a kiss.
Peeta pulled back and said, "Can you guess who I am?" With a smirk and striking a pose.
"Hmm, let me see. Green tights, a green shirt, brown pointy shoes and a green hat with a red feather? PeterPan." I said. Peeta smirked. "And can you guess who I am Mr. Pan?"
Peeta gave me a look over, and said, " Hmm, well you're wearing a white dress, fluffy wings, white tights, white shoes and you have a white halo atop your head. I'm guessing an angel?"
"Correct!" I stated. "And here is your reward..." I stood up on my tip-toes, for Peeta is about a foot taller than I, and planted gentle kiss on his moist lips that I adore so much. I could sense Peeta smile into the kiss, and when he pulled away, he wrapped an arm around my waist, tugging me closer, and we walked down the hall to meet up with the wrest of the Victors at Madge and I's dorm.
As we were walking, I saw Cashmere, who was dressed up as a princess, wink at Peeta and I mentally threw up. Peeta just ignored her, laughed at me and kissed the top of my head.
Once we reached the dorm, we found that everyone was already there and we were the last to arrive.
Annie was dressed up as a mermaid, Johanna was dressed up as a bumblebee, Clove was dressed up as the 'Grudge', Glimmer was dressed up as a 'sexy pirate', Madge was dressed up as Jessie from Toy Story 2, our new member of the Victors, Olivia, was dressed up as a princess, Cato was dressed up as a wrestler, ( I had forgiven them by now, for they all were very sincerely sorry, but not Gale. I'm still pissed at him.), Marvel was dressed up as Merlin, Gale was dressed up as a baker, Finnick was dressed up as Elvis, Thresh was dressed up as a zombie, and Beetee was dressed up as a wizard.
We decided that we were going to watch a horror movie, then head down to the Haunted Houses which should be open by then.
"Did anyone bring the candy?" I asked, searching the room.
"I did!" Elvis yelled, "I brought, like ten bags full of two hundred fifty pieces each!"
We all whooped and cheered and I brought out the horror movie I bought. "Apparently they made a Grudge 2 guys!" Glimmer screamed and hid behind Marvel.
"Aw, come on Glimmer! It's Halloween!" Clove yelled.
Sighing Glimmer came out from hiding and said, "Just this once," while glaring at Clove.
"Yay!" We all yelled in unison.
Madge and I only had about four couches, all love seats, so we set up blankets and pillows on the floor for people to sit too. Peeta and I took a couch, Clove and Finnick took another, Gale and Olivia another, and the last one was taken by Glimmer and Marvel. So on the floor was Cato, Madge, Annie, Thresh, Johanna and Beetee.
I hugged my legs to my chest and rested my head on Peeta's shoulder, while Peeta kissed my forehead and wrapped his arms around me.
Two hours and forty-six minutes later, our movie ended and we had to pry Glimmer's hands off of her eyes. After everyone got up, I checked the clock on the wall and said, "It's 5:37, the Haunted Houses opened about forty minutes ago. Let's go!"
I walked hand-in-hand with Peeta down the hall and we passed Leevy and Delly in the hall, Delly just rolled her eyes at us, and stomped off with Leevy right on her tail. Okay...
We reached a Haunted House after about ten minutes.
"Two at a time please." Said the man in charge.
Peeta and I went first, followed by Madge and Cato, then Glimmer and Marvel, Gale and Olivia, Thresh and Johanna, Finnick and Annie, and lastly, Clove and Beetee.
Between each two people was about five minutes, so we would all be separate.
As Peeta and I walked through the black curtain, all turned dark. We barely saw a table full of flashlights to our left, but as I went to reach for one, a hand shot up out of nowhere and grabbed mine. I screamed and jumped back, breathing heavily. Peeta laughed and picked up the flashlight. He turned it on and we kept walking. I saw dead bodies, skeletons and bats everywhere. Suddenly, my foot hit something and I fell to the floor, face first screaming. I guess we should point the flashlight at our feet once in a while. Peeta helped me up and we saw a door up ahead. Timidly, we walked forward and turn the doorknob. We entered what looked somewhat like a lounge. In the far right corner I saw a cupboard shaking violently. Peeta stepped towards it, while I hid behind him. Pulling open the door to the cupboard, Peeta gasped and jumped back. Curious, I looked at the ground and found a 'brain'. I screamed and bolted from the room, leaving Peeta alone...with the flashlight. I entered a room with many doors, and headed for the nearest one, throwing it open, and running through. I ran, and ran, and ran, till I had no idea where I was. It was even more dark than before since I had no flashlight, and I was completely scared out of my wits by now. I heard the floor creak from the corner about ten minutes later, quickly covered my mouth from screaming and crouched behind a torn up couch, so I wouldn't be found.
I saw light, and heard voices. "I opened a cupboard and she ran off. I've heard her screams, but I can't find her anywhere. I don't know where she is."
Is that Peeta!?
"It's okay mate we'll find her." That's Finnick.
"Yeah, we'll help!" And Annie.
I started to stand up, but tripped over something sticky and mushy on the floor, sending me right back down, face first. Out of the corner of my vision, I saw the light leave the room and internally groaned. I could already feel the bruise beginning to form across my cheek.
Pushing myself up off the floor, I carefully made sure that I didn't step on whatever that was and raced out of the room, following the direction the flashlight went.
I closed the door and saw a light up ahead. I quickly rushed towards the light, and sure enough there was Peeta, Finnick and Annie. Although suddenly, a dead corpse fell from the ceiling right in front of me.
"AHHHHHHH!" I screamed cowering from fear on the floor.
"Katniss!?" Peeta yelled, running towards my continuous screams.
Hands clamped over my eyes, knees tucked into my chest, I felt arms wrap around me, pick me up and run off. A couple minutes later, I was set down on a chair of some kind.
"Katniss?" Peeta said.
I took my hands off my eyes, and found Peeta kneeling in front of me, with Annie and Finnick standing behind him.
"Peeta!" I yelled and jumped in to his arms, and he wrapped one around me waist, while the other was resting on the back of my head.
"Stay with me next time." He muttered into my hair.
"Always, " I replied. (I know I know! Peeta's supposed to say that! But I thought it was good!)
We let go of one another and held hands, then continued walking with Annie and Finnick.
As we walk, I saw something glistening off the floor, and stepped in something sticky.
"Ew..." I muttered, stepping out of the gooey liquid. Annie shined her flashlight on it and I found that it was fake blood. "Gross." I stated in disgust, while Peeta chuckled. I lightly pushed his shoulder, which just made him laugh even more. "Peeta!" I complained.
He stopped laughing and said, "I'm sorry, but the look on your face was priceless!" I just scoffed and walked off. "Oh come on Katniss! It was funny!" He whined.
I just kept walking, but then felt someone grabbed my wrist and turn me around. I was now pulled up against Peeta very, very closely, and he was grasping both my wrists, then he smashed his lips onto mine. Pulling back, he asked, "Am I forgiven?"
I playfully pushed his chest and said, "Yes, you're forgiven."
"Good," He started, "I can't stand you being mad at me."
I laughed when suddenly Finnick said, "Hey, what's that over there?"
"Huh?" I questioned then followed where he was pointing, and saw light.
"It's the exit!" I proclaimed and ran off.
"Katniss wait!" Peeta yelled, but I just brushed him off, and kept running.
I was just about to exit the Haunted House when someone grabbed me from behind, but it was too cold to be any of my friends... turning around, I saw a man with a bloodied up face, holding a chainsaw. I screamed once again, and burst through the exit.
I saw the person at the exit laughing at me, but I couldn't care less. I just continued past him, and sat down on a bench, waiting for the others. Peeta exited the curtains running, and desperately searched for me. As soon as he spotted me, his shoulders relaxed and he sighed in relief. "You really don't like scary things do you?"
I just huffed and brought my knees up to my chest, throwing my arms around them and resting my chin atop them in response.
By now everyone else had exited, and were laughing at how scarred Glimmer looked. Peeta checked the time and said, it's 6:37 guys."
Wow, it really took that long?
"I say we go find another!" Marvel suggested.
We all agreed, but me and Glimmer were still pretty scared, so we stuck together.
After about three other Haunted Houses, it was 12:21 and Halloween was over. We all said our goodbyes, and went our separate ways.
When me and Madge reached our dorm, Madge slammed the door closed and said to me, "I like Cato."
Well since most of you have already figured out that Gale and Olivia are being paired up, I decided to make Madge like Cato instead! Please don't freak at me about it if you don't like it.
Well out of all 6 of my stories, this is definitely the LONGEST chapter I have EVER written! lol
A special shout out to my dear reader ChocolateCupcakes1! Please go read her story 'The Drama of School' it is AMAZING!
I hope some of noticed that I got the part where Katniss was covering her eyes and had her knees tucked into her chest, then had Peeta carry her off from Catching Fire. Although in Catching Fire her hands were covering her ears so she wouldn't here the MockingJays.
