Author's Note: Hey, hey, hey, hey! Mama's home from vacation! To all the guests that reviewed, I applaud you. You accomplished something awesome. I'm so proud. This is the next chapter. I am going to post a poll after I post this chapter. It will be about doing a third book in this series. I have total prep ready for a new book. No chapters typed but the whole plans for each chapter. I probably should of been thinking about this story but I had to make up a song for my story and I spent a lot of time on the road typing it. I really like the lyrics. Sorry about going off track there so here is chapter 8. BTW, school is starting really soon for me so updates from the start of September on for a while will be slowed down.
Disclaimer: Am I the owner of The Hunger Games or anything else you recognize? No.
Chapter 8 - Big Reveal
Clove POV
It was my turn to pick up the mail. I grab the mail and shuffle through. I stop at a letter addressed to me from a music college I applied to. I went inside and dropped the rest of the mail of the counter. I then went to the living room and sat on the couch beside Jett. He leans over to see who the letter is from. He smiles as I rip the envelope open. I pull out the letter and quickly scan over it.
I've been excepted to my dream college?
I've been excepted to my dream college!
I stood up and screamed. Everyone jumped and looked at me. Jett grabbed my letter and read it he hugged me as soon as he finished with the letter. He lifted me off the ground. Isabelle and Desiree were looking at us like we were insane. Jett set me down but didn't remove his arms from hugging me. I smiled and turned to them.
"Ladies. I got into the best music school in the country," I explained as Jett lifted me up. Again.
They exchanged a look before running at us and hugging me. We smiled and laughed as we fell to the ground.
"Clove. When do you start?" Jett demanded.
I fought out of everyone's arms and scrambled to get my letter. I look at it. My smirk faded as I read when they wanted me to start. I sat on the couch.
"They want me to start at the end of this first semester," I said lowering the letter.
"Are you kidding us?" Isabelle demanded pushing herself up.
She snatched the letter out of my hand. She read it over then handed the letter to my brother and Desiree. They pushed themselves to their feet and came and hugged me.
"Are you going to go?" Desiree whispered.
"I think I have to. I really want to make it in the music world and they college can help me accomplish that," I said running from the room before I started to cry.
I fled to my room. I locked the door and grabbed my guitar. I started to play Shut Up And Dance by Victoria Duffield.
Here we are, right back at the start
You put your hand on my heart
And you ask me to take you back once again
I don't care cause my heart's on the dance floor
And I don't wanna hear you talk anymore, don't talk anymore
If you wanna get up and dance with me tonight
Baby don't say you're sorry
If you wanna take me, take me away tonight
I don't wanna hear you say to me
You were wrong to cut and run
Can't this wait until the morning comes
If you wanna get up and dance with me tonight
Shut up and dance, get up and dance
If you want me
If you want me
Shut up and dance, get up and dance
Now I'm lost in the music again
I don't want it to end
Just let it take you away, yea take me away
Baby don't talk while your heart's on the dance floor
I don't wanna hear you talk anymore, don't talk anymore
If you wanna get up and dance with me tonight
Baby don't say you're sorry
If you wanna take me, take me away tonight
I don't wanna hear you say to me
You were wrong to cut and run
Can't this wait until the morning comes
If you wanna get up and dance with me tonight
Shut up and dance, get up and dance
If you want me
There's so much to say, I know yesterday
And that you torn me apart!
But baby I know, you're sorry I know
That you would never mean to break my heart
If you wanna get up and dance with me tonight
Baby don't say you're sorry
If you wanna take me, take me away tonight
I don't wanna hear you say to me
You were wrong to cut and run
Can't this wait until the morning comes
If you wanna get up and dance with me tonight
Shut up and dance, get up and dance
If you want me
If you want me
Shut up and dance, get up and dance
If you want me
Shut up and dance, get up and dance
I listened as someone pounded on my door. I couldn't face any of them. And I couldn't leave them. I was the only thing keeping them together as I group so they didn't tear each other apart. I called my mom to let her know the news. She said she will have everything sorted out. Isabelle will probably move out because the result of Jett and Isabelle living together will be them ripping each other to pieces. Desiree had told me her mom had found a place for her to move into if she wanted to. She probably would because she only moved in because I was here. Everything will change. But this could be good. I could make it in the music world. I heard someone knocking on the door. I popped to the top of the stairs. I couldn't quite see the front door. I walked down until I could see who is at the door.
Cato and Marvel.
I ran down the stairs and at Cato. He caught me when I jumped at him.
"Why are you so tall?" I asked.
"Why are you so short?" he responded. "And why isn't Jett as short as you since you are identical twins?"
"I got our mom's height and Jett managed to get out dad's height," I explained. "Now answer my question."
"I have no idea," he said tossing me over his shoulder.
He carried me into the living room and dropped me onto the couch. I ran out onto the back deck. Cato came and locked the door. He crossed his arms. I stuck my tongue out and ran onto the dock to the lake. I sat on the end. I decided I should use this time to think. I need to decide if going to this music college really is the best choice.
I really don't have time to think before two pair of strong arms lifted me up off the dock. the threw me a far ways into the water. When my head came up, I saw everyone laughing. I took a deep breath before going under the water. I swam under the dock. I knew could scare everyone. I smacked the underside off the dock. They all jumped and Jett looked under the dock. I grabbed him and pulled him into the water. I knew Cato and Marvel were the two who threw me into the water but Jett was probably the master mind behind it. I got up onto the dock and gave Cato and Marvel shoves. They toppled into the water. I also knocked Isabelle and Desiree into the water. I casually walked to the house and to my room. I needed to change.
I blow dried my hair and tied into into a high, sporty ponytail. I slipped on one of Jett's old baseball jerseys and plain denim Capri pants. I walked down the stairs grabbing some towels. I walked outside and saw everyone having fun in the water. I walked out onto the dock and set the towels on the beach. Everyone looked at me. Jett put his arms on the dock.
"Isn't that one of my old baseball jerseys?" he asked.
"You know I take a lot of your stuff that you grow out of," I smirked walking off the dock.
I sat in a wooden lounge chair on the beach. I grabbed one of the towels and set it over my legs. Everyone climbed onto the dock and came to me. I threw towels out. Everyone dried off and we went inside. Everyone quickly changed and I turned on Netflix. I looked through the movies until I found Grown Ups. We went going to watch Grown Ups 2 this weekend in theaters. I grabbed a fuzzy pillow. I fell onto the floor and cuddled up to it. Everyone came into the room and Cato picked me off the ground and cuddled me up to him on the couch.
"You're still wet," I complained pushing away.
"Just cuddle me," he said pulling in so tight, the jaws of life couldn't pry his arms off me.
"So anything new and exciting?" Marvel asked while he half tackled, half hugged Desiree.
I relaxed in Cato's arms. I thought about my new situation. I managed to squirm out of Cato's arms. I sat on the floor with my back against the wall facing everyone.
"I have a chance to go to an amazing music school but it means I need to leave the school," I sighed.
"But we're transferring to the school to be closer to you all," Cato whined.
"Well I'm leaving the school. Sorry," I stated looking down.
I got up while Cato did the same thing. I shoved him down and ran to my room. Am I truly about to lose everything I love except music? I heard someone knock.
"Princess? Can we talk?" the voice asked.
I stayed quiet not knowing who was at the door. I heard the person walk away. The next person who came was obviously Jett.
"Cloverfield Sabrina! Oh the door before I knock it down!"
"Go away Jettison! Jettison Victor! No one every wants to see your face when they're mad!" I barked.
I listened as Jett started picking the lock. I went into my closet and shut the door. When we got the house, I found a hidden room through the back of my closet. I snuck in there and turned on the light. I hope the shut door and all my clothes would prevent Jett from finding me. I walked around back there. I listened as Jett walked out of my room. I turned the light off and walked out of my closet.
"That was a close one," I said looking at my door.
"Yes. It was a close one," a voice said startling me.
I whipped around and saw Desiree and Isabelle sitting on my bed. I jumped and threw a pillow from my chair at the girls. They both managed to fall off the bed. I laughed as I picked them up by their arms.
"Ladies, I need time to think. Please. Get out," I stated brushing my ponytail over my shoulder.
The girls nodded and walked out. I decided to go back into the hidden room. I sat in a chair back there and just sat down the relax. I really need to sort everything out.
Nothing, at this moment, is coming up Clove.
And here it is and here I am! Chapter 8 and The Other Katniss Everdeen (Me!) is home. Shattered Glass will continue now. Please review, favorite, and follow.
