The sun which was shining through the window as I woke up, warming the sheets of my bed. I glanced over the clock, 7 am. Had to get up pretty quick. The beach was amazing yesterday, though I still had a little headache from all those drinks we drank there. It actually surprised me that I didn't had caught a cold from running into that water, but I was glad.
I remembered that I had to climb inside the window again when I got home. The lights were already turned off downstairs, parents already sleeping. I hoped they didn't notice that I wasn't in my room then, or else I would have a big damn problem when I would get downstairs now to eat breakfast. Though it all was fun, breaking free out of your window, and just climb inside it again at midnight.
I sighed, then slapped the sheets from the bed to the other side, and got up. I was still a bit tired, only got six hours of sleep. But sunlight did always make the morning better. Funny how I just was so optimistic about everything right now. It had to be the love feelings inside of me what made me feel happy.
But the thoughts about going to school kind of ruined it again. That was why I was afraid to be happy, because of the fact that it was going to get away by something bad. What would leave me in a negative mood instead.
Holding my arm out of the window, it felt pretty warm. Just like an early summer. I decided to wear a tank-top and shorts. After applying my makeup and got my hair done, I took the time to get downstairs. Still nervous if they were going to say something about yesterday.
Everyone was already sitting at the table, except my mom. She must have got my dad mad too, but at this moment it was more comfortable without her. I released my breath and sat in between of Shane and Lotus. I grabbed some toast without making a single noise, it was quiet anyway. Until my dad started talking to me.
'Sorry about yesterday, your mom really went crazy.' He shook his head. 'Where is she?' I asked, still a little curious where she was. 'She said she was going to sleep at a friend's house. After that I didn't see her anymore.'
Whoa wait, this shit wasn't going in a right way. What if they would get divorced or something? All because of me! God I was a terrible person, but at least I could admit it. 'Really?' I asked quietly.
He nodded. 'But hey, we're not going to start a day with this kind of conversation, are we?' Then he gestured at Lotus. He probably just didn't wanted to let her hear these kind of things. 'No.' Lotus shook her head quickly.
'Can you give me a ride to school?' I asked Shane. For some reason all my things I could drive to school on, were still standing at school. Cato did brought me home a few times, what didn't meant that he was picking me up. Plus my scooter was still not fixed.
'Yeah sure.' Shane shrugged, then we both got up from the seats by the table. I grabbed my bag, and headed out the door. It was indeed pretty warm, and the sun was still shining. The cloudless sky meant that there was probably no rain coming, so I was fine in a tank-top instead of sweater.
He grabbed the scooter, I hopped on the seat too, sitting behind him. Shane just quickly drove towards school. For a second I thought about the people who first thought that he was my boyfriend, so damn stupid were they. But the ones I didn't tell that he was my brother, could make up a lot of rumours right now. God I hated all these rumours when people had no idea what they were actually saying. That was just a thing we all did; when you have nothing interesting to tell about you start making up things. Starting a fire which you couldn't extinguish by yourself, and before you know it you've burned everything down. No, really great things these rumour-makers.
I got off from the scooter in front of the school, while the parking places were in the back. I mumbled a ''Thanks.'' and then moved towards the doors. I glanced over my forefinger, after all these days they had to prick that needle inside of it there were a few little dots, where the blood used to come out from, able to see. There was nothing as fading away, healing these little wounds; because of the fact that there were new ones coming every day you would arrive here. And wanted to go inside. Still these rules of the school made no sense to me at all.
I held out my hand in front of the woman, the left side of the table as usual. Actually I never went to the one on the right, this was just my routine and I'd keep it this way. She pricked the needle inside of it as usual, dipped the blood on the paper. It was a little book, I guess that they used a new book every day to keep all the blood dots from every student. It really didn't make sense to me. After the woman said that I could go through the gate, I went towards the back building, which actually was an indoor sport hall. Once I got there, there was a white paper on the door of the dressingroom with the announcement that we should ''Go to the field.'' Of course we would sport outside today, it was nice wheater. But at least they had to give us that announcement a little earlier.
The field, as they called it, was outside the school's territory. Behind the fence, located on the right side of the school. So I walked towards that place. Once arrived, I saw Jackie standing in front of the fence. I rushed towards her, excited to hear about her date with Thresh yesterday.
'Tell me!' I told her while I walked next to her. 'We are like,' She began, not sounding really confident. 'A couple now?' 'Yay.' I said. 'So we went to I don't know where, but it was a restaurant with good damn food.' She told me. 'It was so much fun.' 'Great to know.' I smiled. She gestured at the field. 'We're going to play soccer.'
Great, now I already knew I was going to fail doing something, which would be totally awkward. I hadn't played soccer for like 6 years. Since an pretty serious injury I stopped, and never started again. Jackie, on the other hand, was playing it every week at the club, with a competition and shit like that. First time I had this lesson, and that Brutus was already going to dislike me I guess.
Once Jackie and I got out of the dressing rooms, we walked on the field of grass. 'Fuck the warming up,' Brutus said. 'Enobaria and I are going to pick the teams, we're just playing a 11 against 11 game the whole hour.'
The only people I knew from my team were Jackie and Finnick. Peeta, Cashmere, Glimmer and Cato were on the other team. The rest was simply not in this lesson. Actually wanted to get in the same team as Cato, but this team had positive things too. Well, actually I could tackle Glimmer now, without getting in trouble. This was time for revange, bitch.
Brutus was giving us the line up, while Enobaria coached the other team. 'And you,' Brutus pointed at me. 'Uh, right wing?' I just nodded. Back in two I always stood somewhere at the midfield, attacking wasn't a really strong point of me. But it was always a better one than defending, something what I really sucked in. I mean, if people so much bigger had to get past me, that wasn't even something they would put their effort in, I wasn't able to stop them anyways. Plus, I always was in a girls team, and now the teams were mixed. Only one thing I could say about this; I was going to die.
We just played the game, what actually went better than I thought. A boy I didn't even know the name of was defending my side, but he was just around the same height as me, so that wasn't that hard. Sometimes things didn't work out like I wanted, but I couldn't call it ''failing''. So for the first time I had played this, I was actually satisfied. Plus I tackled Glimmer once, who since that fall literally thanked me for it. Then acted like she was injured so she didn't have to do anything anymore. That thanks wasn't even sarcastic, she was just too lazy to do something.
A few hours later during the break, we stood in a group in the middle of the hallway, kind of blocking everyone who wanted to pass. Surprisingly Marvel already stood here too. I knew that he and Cato used to be good friends, but since that weekend fight thing I doubted about that. But right now everything seemed fine between them. Guess that I was just overthinking again.
Because of Marvel who was standing at our group right now, Glimmer and Cashmere joined too. I rolled my eyes.
'So,' Glimmer began. 'Because of the fact that Marvel and I are having our birthday in the same weekend. We are giving a party at his house. And we wanted to invite all of you.'
I frowned, I guess we used to hate eachother? And to be honest I still did. And now they wanted to invite us at their party. I remembered that Cashmere had done the same, then said that it was a chance you'd get once in a lifetime. Then invited me again, and now Glimmer and Marvel were doing it too. I guess that secretly they just were obsessed with me.
'Including you.' She looked at me, putting up a (fake) smile.
'I'm flattered.' I said, sarcastically as fuck.
Clove and her sarcasm ^.^
