Clove's POV

After school, I was introduced to some of Jackie's friends, Katniss, Annie and Madge.

"Hey Clove, we were heading to the bakery for an afternoon snack. Wanna come?"

"Sure. That'd be great!"

"C'mon then. Let's go!"

I found out a while later that we were at Peeta's family bakery. Here, we were served the best tasting sandwich I had ever had in my entire life (don't tell my mom!)

It was warm an cozy in here, just what you'd expect a bakery to feel like. It was a bit different from any other bakery I've ever been to seeing as they had booths as well as individual tables that seated two people. We sat at one of the booths so that we didn't have to put tables together and mess up the layout of the room.

Some time later the bell chimed behind me, signaling that a customer has entered the bakery. I turned to see none other than the band itself. Not that it was surprising. I mean, this bakery does belong to the family of one of the members.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Annie turn a slight shade of red. Hmmm. I wonder what that's about?

Before I had time to think about it, the group started approaching us.

"Hey guys! Long time no see!" Marvel said.

"Hey to you, too! How was the tour? You guys were gone all summer!" Jackie answers back. I just sat there, awestruck. Apparently she forgot to mention they were friends.

"It was amazing! The fans were crazy! In a good way, of course." Peeta responds, standing next to where Katniss was sitting.

"I'm glad you guys had fun. Now you're back in town. Back to the books, boys!" Katniss jokes, poking Peeta on the arm. Their laughter was echoing throughout the whole bakery.

"Yeah well I'm honestly glad to be back. It feels good to be at least a little bit normal again. Missed me, Annie?" Finnick, one of the other blond guys asked the now very red Annie.

Annie, despite her deep blush, smiles at this. Finnick makes his way towards her and sits next to her on the booth, pulling her closer and wrapping his arm around her waist in the process. Annie nuzzled her face in his neck and whispered, "of course I did, Finnick. I thought about you every minute of everyday."

"Awww. Aren't they just adorable?" Jackie coos at the lovebirds.

"Wait a second. I don't think I've ever seen you before." The tall, brown haired boy named Gale said, pointing at me.

"Oh I'm sorry. My name's Clove. I'm new here." I answered with a genuine smile on my face.

From the corner of my eye, I saw their tall, muscular leader look at me. When I glanced, I noticed he was staring. We gazed at each other for a second before I looked away, feeling self-conscious. I felt a shiver run down my spine from his gaze. He had the most amazing blue eyes I had ever seen in my life. What am I saying? He's a super star. He'd never go for a girl like me. I'm a nobody.

When I got home, I talked to my mom a bit about my day. Since it was only the first day, the teachers decided to cut us some slack and give us at least another day free of homework. I was thankful for that. I went to my room and started playing with my guitar. It's been a while since I've used this thing. I started to get the hang of it again after a while and noticed that I had a good melody going on. I quickly went to get one of my songbooks in one of the boxes (that I had yet to unpack) and wrote the notes down. Not long after, I started to come up with lyrics that came with the tune. I was half way done with my new song when mom called me for dinner.

Afterwards, I went back up to my room to finish my song. About an hour went by with practically no progress whatsoever so I decided that it would probably be best if I called it a day. I was too tired from school to be able to think properly. I'll finish writing the song some other time once I have inspiration again. I'm never going to be able to sing it anyway, so what's the rush?

Just as sleep was about to claim me, the image of clear blue eyes flashed in my mind, sending me into a night of peaceful oblivion.

R&R? :)
