Just a chapter to tell you that CLATO WILL BE BREAKING UP! MWAHAHAHA!
No, April Fools! XD I wouldn't do that… Yet…
Chapter 51: Pranks
Clove gets up and groans.
She hates getting out of bed, but she knows she has to, or else she's going to be late for her date with Cato.
As soon as Clove cracks open her bedroom door, she's covered in icy water, from head to toe.
Only one word escapes her mouth, "ATHENAAAA!"
As if she was waiting, Athena smiles at her step-sister. "Good morning, sunshine."
Clove clenches her fists, "Not funny…"
Athena laughs and runs away before she gets punched.
Clove sighs, going to the bathroom and turning on the shower.
Athena, entertained and pleased with herself, makes her way to the kitchen.
She makes breakfast for herself, knowing that Clove wouldn't trust her with making food.
Athena smiles, putting red and blue food coloring into the water pitcher and shaking it up.
Clove comes out into the kitchen, and makes her breakfast.
"Happy April Fool's Day, Clove!" Athena chirps happily.
"Oh, bite me."
Athena giggles and turns on the sink to wash her dishes. She's sprayed by a stream of cold water.
"EEEEEEK!" she turns it off.
Clove chuckles and spoons another bite of cereal into her mouth. "Classic."
"Nice one," Athena mutters, going into the bathroom to dry herself off.
Clove laughs, getting up to grab some water to drink.
When she sees it coming out purple, Clove jumps back. "Woah!"
Athena smiles at her, head popping out of the bathroom door. She giggles.
"That's it!" Clove says, "This is WAR."
Athena laughs, opening the door to come out of the bathroom.
"EW!"
Clove smiles, as Athena washes the peanut butter off her hand.
"The ol' Peanut Butter on the door handle trick. Nice one."
"Thanks. Come eat your cereal."
Athena eyes it suspiciously, "What did you do to it?"
"Nothing," this time, Clove's being honest.
"Yeah, sure." Athena dumps it in the sink and grabs an apple instead.
Clove chuckles to herself.
Clove's phone suddenly starts blasting, "I'm Sexy and I know it."
"Like your new ringtone?" Athena asks, "It's Cato's personal ringtone."
Clove turns pink and answers the phone, "Hello?"
She tries to ignore the peanut butter on the side of her face.
Athena howls with laughter as Clove talks to Cato.
"We can't meet at my house…" Clove says, "Thena and I get a little crazy about April Fool's Day…"
Athena makes animal noises as Clove tries to have a conversation with Cato.
"Actually-"
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Athena giggles.
"What in the world was that?" Cato asks.
"It's just-"
"BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Athena rolls around on the floor with silent laughter.
"ATHENA is being an-"
"QUACKQUACKQUACK!"
"I'll text you," Clove says to Cato, and snaps the phone closed.
"I hope you're happy now."
Athena laughs, "Yeah, for now!"
Clove rolls her eyes, "Get me a damp paper towel," she tells Athena.
When Athena turns on the faucet, she's sprayed again.
Clove laughs, and Athena turns it off.
"That never gets old!" Clove giggles.
"Shut up," Athena says, grabbing a paper towel and throwing the rest of the roll at her sister.
Clove grins, "Hey, Thena. Do you still have that old creepy clown mask that you used last year?"
"Probably, somewhere. Why?"
"Cato's gonna crap his pants," Clove smiles wickedly, and Athena follows her into the bedroom.
When Clove finds it, she puts it right up into her step-sister's face. "LOOK AT IT!"
Athena yelps, "Holy crap!" she pants, "That thing is scary…"
Clove laughs, and Cato rings the doorbell.
Athena smiles when she hears him say, "EW!"
The two girls high-five. "Peanut butter on the doorbell… Nice!"
"Sssh!" Clove sneaks up to the window and slams the clown mask against it.
Both of them can hear Cato scream, and both of them fall to the floor in laughter. Athena gets up first and opens the door. "Hi, Pretty Boy," she greets.
Cato rolls his eyes, "You didn't even scare me."
Clove laughs, "We both heard you scream!"
She gets to her feet and walks over to him.
"Hi," Clove smiles sweetly.
"Yeah, yeah," Cato says, "I need to wash the peanut butter off my fingers."
"Why don't you use the bathroom sink?" Athena puts on a wicked smile.
"I think I'll just use the kitchen…" he says.
The two girls high five as Cato is sprayed with water.
"Nice reverse psychology."
"Thanks."
"Clove, I think we should go to the park now. I don't think I can take much more of this…"
Athena giggles, throwing Cato a towel.
Clove takes Cato's hand and a jolt of electricity makes her pull it away.
Cato laughs, showing them the buzzer.
Clove rolls her eyes, but Athena goes for a high five, pulling her hand away and shouting, "Too slow!"
He rolls his eyes, and Clove takes his other hand. "Let's get out of here." The two walk to the park together.
When they get there, and Athena sneaking after them, they all see the park divided.
"EAT PIE, PANEM HIGH!" Lucas chants.
"Capitol Academy," Athena mutters.
She feels a tap on her shoulder and turns around to a pie in the face.
She looks up and sees Sebastion and Rudi laughing.
"Eat pie, Clarke!" Rudi pies her own ally.
Sebastion stands in shock, and Rudi and Athena high-five. "Nice one."
"You better pick a side, Mallinsky," Rudi warns.
Athena had been thinking about it. "Thanks." She wipes the pie off her face into Sebastion's hair and says, "We'll talk later," before scurrying off to join the school where she knows she belongs: Panem High.
Theo greets her with a pie-y hug and a smile.
"Ew, you covered me in pie!" she says, laughing.
Mason hands her a cream pie. "FIRE!" he shouts.
Athena launches the pie at Sebastion, laughing.
Cato takes a pie and tosses it at Luke, who's also the captain of the Capitol Academy swim team.
Luke shoves the pie tin off his face and, licking his lips, tosses a pie at Marvel when his back is turned.
Marvel jumps and whirls around, pie in hand.
Nathalia pelts Ariadne with pies, and Ariadne laughs, licking her fingers.
Skeeter can't resist the urge to put a pie in Rue's face just once, and soon, it turns into Every Man for himself.
Even when both schools run out of pies, they still pick up pieces off the ground and toss it at each other.
Nathalia tackle-hugs Mason, covering him in pie.
He laughs, lying on the ground and staring at the sky.
Nathalia hangs over him, tidbits of pie in her golden hair.
She giggles, "I'm so glad we're friends again!"
Mason brushes a piece of hair out of her face, "I'm not."
"You're not?" she doesn't believe him for a second.
"April Fools!"
"Thought so!"
She falls on the grass beside him and the two watch the sky together.
Theo throws pieces of pie like crazy, at everyone, especially Luke. The two boys laugh.
Cato smudges pie in Clove's face, and she kisses him so that the pie goes back onto him.
Ariadne throws pie at anyone who even aims at Sebastion. "I'LL PROTECT YOU, SEBBY!" she screams.
Sebastion just laughs.
Rue and Skeeter throw pie in each other's faces before sitting back and laughing.
She's about to put some more cream on his nose when she notices something else.
"You're scratched," she says.
"Yeah, I just got into a little skirmish. I told you that."
"With who?"
Skeeter shrugs, "You don't know him."
Rue waits for an "April fools," but when it doesn't come, just watches the sky quietly.
Theo splashes pie on both of them, and they both sit up, laughing.
Skeeter shakes the pie off of his hair and it goes everywhere.
Rue and Theo laugh.
Everybody ends up lying and watching the sky together.
"We should have an alliance," Luke says, "Between glee clubs."
"That's a good idea," Theo says, winking.
As if planned, they both say "APRIL FOOLS!" at the same time.
Everybody ends up laughing.
