Hey guys! Sorry for not updating school is very hectic right now! I have like so much homework! There's always books to read and papers to write! Hope you all like this chapter!
Clove's P.O.V: We pull up to the shop and I hop out. I walk into the shop, Cato in tow. I see my dad and go give him a hug.
"Hey Daddy. This is Cato, I'm teaching him piano." I say with a smile.
"Nice to m- hey haven't you been here before?" My dad asks Cato. Cato nods.
"Yeah I got my board here. And you guys buff it for me." He says with a smile, my dad smiles.
"Clove I like this kid." My dad says with a chuckle. We walk into my kitchen and I grab a Cherry Coca-Cola, and grab one for Cato.
"Here you go." I say with a smile.
"Thanks." He says, we walk into the room with the piano in it, he sits on the bench while I take out some music. I set it in-front of him and I sit next to him
"You play guitar right?" I ask him. He nods. "Well then this should be pretty easy." She says and smiles. I teach him the basics like the basic notes and I then teach him the minors. That takes about an hour.
"That seems good enough for today." I say and he smiles at me.
"What are you doing tonight?" He asks me.
"I'm staying home..." I say quietly, and look down. God, he makes me so nervous!
"Your not going to a party or something?" he asks and I shake my head. "Your not going to see Catching Fire?"(In my story this is the premiere day) He asks and I shake my head again. "Why not?" he asked.
I shrug. "I don't want to go alone." I say quickly.
"Oh, okay then..." He says quietly. He turned for the door and then turned around again. "Do you want to go see it tomorrow?" he asked her. I nod.
"Sure... But do you actually want to be seen in public with me?" She asked shyly. He scratched the back of his neck.
"Well you see... It will be dark there... Plus there's going to be a party... So no one is going to see us..." I looked down and nodded.
"Oh, okay." I say quietly.
"Clove... No one can know I like you..." He says quietly, and rubs the back of his neck. I shake my head.
"I get it. Just go to the party tomorrow night, I don't want to go the movies anymore, have fun." I said quietly, and ran up to my room. I could hear Cato calling me from behind, I ignored him and said "Go home!" I shut my door and turned some music on loud. I was playing 'Silhouettes' by Of Monsters and Men.
It's hard letting go,
I'm finally at peace, but it feels wrong,
Slow I'm getting up,
My hands and feet are weaker than before.
And you are folded on the bed
Where I rest my head,
There's nothing I can see,
Darkness becomes me.
But I'm already there,
I'm already there,
Wherever there is you,
I will be there too,
There's nothing that I'd take back,
But it's hard to say there's nothing I regret.
I layed in my bed, and started to cry. 'No one can know I like you'. God I'm such a joke, he doesn't even want to be seen in public with me. If he doesn't want to be seen with me in public, I don't want to see him in private. Aw crap, me and him have the private class thing, what am I supposed to do about that? Quit? I can't do that, I couldn't lose a scholarship like that. I'll just only talk to him when necessary.
I take out one of my song book, maybe my creative juices are flowing. I grab my guitar and start to strum, I get a good melody, and write it down, I write down a few lyrics. I'm not really feeling the song I'm writing right now, so I strum the melody to 'Out of My League'. As I play quietly I feel my phone vibrate, I look and see Peeta texted me.
Peeta: Clover, what happened with Katniss?
Clove: Meet me at In N' Out
Peeta: See ya in 5
I put my guitar away and head across the street, I order 2 French fries and a vanilla shake. I deserve it. I get my order just as Peeta walks in, Marvel came with him, they must have been hanging out before hand. I wave at them and they come over.
"2 French fries and a shake?" Marvel asks with a chuckle.
"I had a bad day okay?" I say while eating some of my fries.
"Alright, spill." Peeta says." Well it all started this morning... Katniss told me that she didn't want t be friends anymore because 'I'm uncool and bringing her down in popularity', then I ran inside and I ran into Cato while I was crying because of the Katniss thing... Then I was chosen for a scholarship teaching with one other student and the other student was Cato... Well he asked me to teach him how to play the piano, and well of course I said yes... I told him I had to go get my license first, he asked why and I told him because my ride said that they can't give me a ride anymore. He offered to take me to get my license and I accepted. Well I got my license, but after I had to teach him piano, and after his lesson he asked me what I had planned for the weekend and I told him nothing and he asked me to the movies and he said it was so no one would see us because there was going to be a party and no one would see us because no one can know he likes me..." I say and look down.
