Clove POV

The first thing I noticed when we got to Jackie's house was the entrance. It as a huge double door with a knocker the shape of a dragon's head. Pretty freaky but cool at the same time. The roman columns (or I guess you could say pillars. Whichever you prefer) were of the Corinthian design meaning it was really intricate. The house was pretty big but not as big as the boys' houses. But hey, let's not compare sizes here. They have their own income afterall.

"What took you guys so long!" Jackie greeted us at the door.

"Sorry. We had 2 houses to stop by remember? Our houses aren't exactly right next to each other. We both still had to pack and-" Katniss said, getting all defensive.

"Yeah yeah I get it! Just hurry up and come in already! We're starving!" As we were walking in, our bags in tow, I heard Jackie mutter "excuses." I decided not to tell Katniss in fear of another round of going at each other's throats.

Once we got to Jackie's room, Annie and Madge were already sitting on the floor setting our dinner and snacks for the events to come. Greetings were passed around and soon enough, we were all digging in on Annie's homemade pasta. It was absolutely delicious! Of course I still prefer my mother's cooking but this is definitely an easy second! Way better than restaurant food that's for sure.

After eating, the inevitable happened. I'm pretty sure every girl sleepover party ends up with boy talk in it. We decided, just to give it a little twist, that we were going to use a bottle to spin in order to choose who would be the one talking about "her guy". This made it fair for everyone since we were leaving our fate to chance. Whoever gets chosen has to spill the beans then afterwards spin the bottle for her target.

"I'll go first!" Jackie said, spinning the bottle that was in the center. It landed on Madge.

"Madge, how are you and Jason?" Jason was her boyfriend for almost a year now. He also happened to be the guy who found me running and crying in the hall a few weeks ago and brought me to Gale's dad's office. He is, after all, Gale's childhood best friend.

"Um… We're alright I guess. But I don't know. Sometimes I feel as if he doesn't really care anymore. I'm sure he still likes me but not to the same extent as to when we first started dating." She looked a bit disappointed but not all that bothered by it. I guess they just weren't meant to be. Too bad, they were kind of cute together.

After her confession with her somewhat failing relationship, she spun the bottle which landed on Katniss.

"How are you and a certain baker?" she asked with a smirk. For someone who's supposedly in the middle of a difficult relationship, she sure knows how to turn the tables. She acted as if it didn't phase her at all.

"We're taking it slow and steady I guess. I mean, he hasn't even asked me out yet. I'm hoping he does but it just hasn't happened yet. I'm sort of hoping he asks me to prom a few months for now but I don't know. He's just so shy, you know?"

"Yup. Definitely sounds like Peeta." Jackie commented, making all of us laugh.

The game kept going, surprisingly the bottle hasn't landed on me yet. So far, we learned that Jackie has a whole lot of Hollywood superstars crushes (not that that was surprising. I'm pretty sure all of us like at least one actor), Annie's was recently introduced to Finnick's parents after a year of dating. It wasn't that he didn't want to. It was more of because they were too busy and couldn't make time for a casual dinner. They were usually out on business trips and whatnot. But I think the biggest news we got was Madge sort of has a crush on her boyfriend's best friend, the one and only Gale Hawthorne. Oh the drama.

"Clove! I can't believe you still haven't been chosen! We're out of boy gossip to talk about! Screw this bottle! It's your turn!"

"Yeah Clove. Spill. What's going on between you and Cato?"

I blushed a bit, shy to the core. Sighing, I say, "What do you want to know?"

"EVERYTHING!" Everyone shouted at once.

"Let's start with the song." Annie asked.

"Umm. Well, we went to my house as usual. We sat on the piano and wrote a song that took over 4 hours to write."

"Nothing happened?" Jackie pushed.

"Not really. I mean, before we wrote the song, we did have our 'moments' I guess you could say."

A lot of squeeling came from everyone in the room. "Like what? Have you guys kissed?"

I'm pretty sure I'm as red as a tomato by now. I didn't think I needed to say anything anymore seeing as how obvious that reaction was but I still nodded nonetheless.

"How many times?"

"Uh…. Around 3 times? Twice when I told him about my past and once after writing the song."

"Oh my gosh, Clove! You guys are totally going out!" Annie said. A bit out of character but I guess she's just really excited.

"Has he asked you yet?" I shook my head.

"Ugh! That boy needs some serious talking to. I mean, who kisses a girl three times and doesn't ask her out!" This time it was Madge's turn to be uncharacteristic. Boys must really get them riled up.

After a few more hours of nonstop conversation, a few movies and the cliche pillow fights, we finally decided to hit the sack. I've got to admit, this has been a wonderful day. I overcame my stage fright and then I got to go on my first slumber party in this town. A day well spent. As I was about to fall asleep, I saw my phone light up. I decided to check who the sender was in case it was an emergency. I mean, who would be texting at 3am? What I saw brought a huge smile on my face. Luckily the other girls are already asleep and wouldn't get the chance to tease me. As I drifted off to sleep, my thoughts consumed by the text, I thought to myself, what a wonderful day this has been indeed.
