chapter 8
annie's pov
last night everyone just crashed in the basement. i wake up and naturally everyone else is asleep. i begin to shake them awake. first josh. he then wakes the boys. im glad i didnt try to wake them because several of them reflectivly slap him. i leave clove for last since shes the grumpiest. johanna,jackie, madge, rue and the boys all stand at my side as i go to wake clove. the girls are watching cause they know clove might hit me. the boys watched assuming it would be a good show. i shake clove"clove you gotta get up" i whisper. clove sputters out a slur of non intellegeble words. i shake her again. "up" i demand she only rolls over so shes no longer facing me."clover feild up or ill carry you up the stairs" josh demands without opening her eyes clove sits up and raises her arms. this gets a laugh from everybody. josh picks her up resting her on his hip like a year old and she lays her head on his shoulder still half asleep. when we reach the top of the stairs. he gently sets her on her feet."thank you" she mutters her eyes half open and she begins for the stair all of the girls following.
"shower" i demand to all of them. it takes an hour to get through all of us. then i begin sceptiacllay dressing them. i give johanna skinny jeans and a vneck tshirt. knowing she'd kill me for putting her in a dress. i shove rue into a pink dress thats skirt foofs out at the hips. madge gets a brown one with sparkle details . i know its her favorite that i own. clove gets a dark blue one similarly shaped to rues except it has sparkles at the end of the skirt. she scowls at me. i know how much she hates wearing dresses to school. claims she cant intimidate people in them and she hates throwing knifes in them too. but after today she'll have to wear the school uniform anyways which for girls is a plaid skirt so... she can deal. "now we get to dress you!" rue says happily i shake my head. clove retrieves the sea green dress with cryatal decals and silver heels ive been saving. "annies had her outit covered for months" clove says handing it too me. i slip into the dress and begin accessoriseing everyone and doing their hair. when i am through we are stunning and ready for the day ahead.
josh's pov
the girls come down the stairs and they look beautiful. its a beauty ive grown used to . annie dawls them all up for the first day of school every year. since the first day is the only day other then fridays that they dont have to wear uniforms. i motion to the platers of eggs and bacon ive made. and annie and clove run over pouncing on me to give me a hug. i laugh as they release their grip and slide to the floor, they guzzle down as much food as the boys have left and grab their bags. "how we getting to this prep school?" cato ask. " i dont know about you but i cant drive till later this year." clove pouts. "why not?" cato asks sarcasticaly. clove decides to oparah sing her anser. "im still 15!" we all cover our ears."youll never win the talent show if you sing like that" i say she slaps my arm playfully. "can you even sing" thresh ask." she can i as witness know she can sing" i say clove blushes. "im not too good but i can sing a bit" she mummbles." shes being modests shes amazing" annie says covering cloves mouth when she goes to protest. "thats all very nice but we still dont know how we are getting to school." gale says from the other side of the room. "well i can drive 4 people other then myself of us" cato says. "and i another 4 that arnt me" i say "ok so boys withcato and girls with josh" johanna declares. i see the gears in annies head turning as does the math." that leaves a girl without a ride and an extra spot in catos car." she declares. "then race to the car and whoevers last to the car goes with cato" annie nods."and ...go" she yells and they all take off . all except clove. she was re tying her heels when the desision was made. she tyes faster and takes off but is too late everyone reaches the car before her. she scowls. "i want a rematch." she declaires."we're going to be late" annie whines." fine" clove hisses hoping into catos car" hurry up" she hisses at all the boys who have not yet got in the car . "good luck" i smirk at him."dont need luck" he mutters" need happy pills for her" he finishes i laugh "if only those worked on clove" he frowns "they dont?" i shake my head"not even close"
