clove's pov
i laugh slightly as chloe closes the door,. then we flop down on our beds with our cheer magazines. "we really got to convince couch portia to get us new uniforms." chloe whines as she flips through a uniform catalog."why chloe the old ones dont show enough skin?" i teases she nods. "nope glimmer shoes more skin in history class" at this i burst out laughing."true true" i say between breaths. as we flip through the magazines i begin to day dream about none other then cato...
i awake in the morning to the screach of our alarm. time for school. i smile to myself. i jump out of bed and figure since i showereds yester day im fine for today so instead i slip on my school skirts. i shake my head i dont know why i hate skirts so much when we wear them in cheer leading they just annoy me. i sigh. as i am putting on my makeup chloe rolls over in her attempt to stay asleep and actualy falls off the bed and onto the floor i laugh . she just glares at me and begins sleeping on the floor."get up" i say nudging her with my grumbles unintellegibly. "up now or we arnt going to have time to get all the cheer try out posters up and we get to go to district 4" i say with that she springs up and is in fast forward mode as she does her hair puts on her uniform brushes her teeth and does her makeup.(stuff ive already done). i laugh. say we get to go to district 4 and chloe is up as fast as can be considering she has the biggest crush on josh. once shes finally done we hurry out of the room. i run into something hard and solid. i look up and shee ive hit cato."sorry" i mummble looking at my toes. "its all good. where are you two hurry off to so early according to my schedule classes dont start till 10 its 8." he states."cheer posters" me and chloe sing. "and to speak with miss portia about the need for new cheer uniforms. " chloe says with a nod to prove shes determined and right. i nod to let her know we'll do that too."want help?" cato asks. i raise my eybrows and eye him suspiciously."why?" i ask."well im up...classes dont start for 2 hours and i have absolutly nothing to do" he states and i nod but i know theres something else so i keep looking at him in a way that tells him i know theres more. he sighs."and i didnt think you wanted to go down to district 1..." he says hesitantly. i nod. i really dont."she usually makes me go down there."chloee says shyly and i shoot her a look. cato laughs. "see i can do that for u" cato replys sheepishly. "ugh you just want to see glimmer but since im NOT in the mood for another fight with her you can go" i say he shakes his head."i dont want to see glimmer i just dont want you to have to see her" he states. i sigh . "thats all very nice cato but i can protect myself from glimmer and i have to see her no matter what she may be turning 17 but shes in almost half my classes" cato stares at me scheptically and i know hes confussed. before i can speak chloe does."i know what your thinking and yes glimmer is dumb but no she did not fail a grade smarty pants clove over here takes advanced in most of her classes so instead of studying what most schools call grade ten she studies grade 11 and in some classes grade 12." chloe says proudly."we've got a smarty pants on our hands do we?" cato smirks and then stops."wait im in the 12th grade so you are in some of my classes?" he asks. i shrug. "maybe never know i may get all my senior classes at different times then when you have those classes." i conclude. he looks sorta disapointed but i brush it off. he doesnt like you clove. i scorn myself."now enough about my brain take these and do floors 1, 3, 5 ,6 and 7" i instruct as i hand him a pile of posters. "i i capain" he mocks suluting me and heading to the elevators. once the elevator closes i slumping in a chair but i dont get to relax long soon chloe is pulling on my arm "can we please go to district 4 now?" she pleads i cant help but laugh as i heave myself out of the chair. "sure" i say giving to the elevators we go.
cato's pov
its 2nd period and my nerves are getting the better of me. i was desperatly hoping clove would be in my first period class but no such luck. i dont know what it is about her but i want to be near when im not i just cant get her out of my head...this has never happened to me before ive never wanted a girl to be mine so badly...snap out of it cato shes josh's unofficial sister. even after i tell myself this i cant help the fact that my stomach drops when shes not there. isigh taking the empty seat next to josh. "why so glum? prissy school not as great as you thought?" he jokes. im not in the mood . i narrowly avoided glimmer this morning and im far to tired to joke around and this awful feeling of longing in my gut just keeps worsening no matter how many times i tell myself having feeling for clove is wrong i cant make them go away. its terrible to be pulling myself in two different directions and its really giving me a head ache. so im not in the mood to joke with josh...even if he is my best friend."dude whats wrong?" josh asks really consern now plastered on his face.i cant tell him im thinking of clove. hes made it clear he wants her to have nothing to do with me."its nothing...just tired thats all"i tell him but i can tell hes not buying it."cato i have known you forever and i can read you like a book. there is something wrong and its sure as hell not that your fess up." he says harsh but queit. just then the teacher walks in."i aaabbeerrrnathy but you ccan caall me haaaaayymitch." he slurs. "now my hang over is far too painful today so just talk amuncks yourselfs" and with that he passes out on his great now josh is gonna make me explain. "spill" he demands facing me. "its...its" i stutter."now cato" he spits impatiantly."its clove" i whisper hoping he wont hear. but he does."what about her?" he nearly hisses. i take a deep breath and tell him everything including all the feelings and thoughts ive kept to myself and im sure that by the end he is going to hit me but to my suprise he doesnt he sighs. "it sounds ...like ...you...love her...so if you want clove i give my permission." he says and a smile spreads acrossed my face before i can stop it. his face hardens till its severily harsh and serious."but i swear if you hurt her or break her fragile little heart i will personally rip out your intestines do you understand?" he hisses through his teeth eyes black passing his message along. "understood"i say letting him know i got his message. "you better not mess this up cato you only get one shot with clove." he says smirking. great ...now im nervous.
