Author's Note: Here I am! Sorry about the late update but I spent the day tubing with the family and my brother's friends. Anyways, like I mentioned before, my cousin is down for a week so my updates are probably going to be delayed or late night updates. Here is my third chapter. I had a request but I'll post that chapter later. This chapter is only Wednesday. The party is Friday. I hope this chapter is enjoyed. Here it is.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games. I also don't own the book 'Prom and Prejudice.'
Chapter 3 - First Steps In The Wrong Direction
Clove POV
Uh! They make me so sick. Gale, Madge, Peeta and Katniss. Those four are always together and it's obvious Gale and Madge our in a relationship and Katniss and Peeta were dating. I just want to read my book in peace. I started to read it this summer but I was always interrupted by my brother and his friends. Isabelle and I were always wanting to read this book but we never got a chance to. If only those four would leave the library. They aren't even reading or studying. They are just sitting there talking and laughing. I'm surprised the librarian hasn't snapped. I picked up my book and walked out of the library a looked for a quiet place to read. I saw the school had an atrium. I looked and it appeared to be empty. I walked in and looked for a bench. I saw a redhead sitting on a bench. I turned but the redhead shot her head up and smiled.
"You don't have to leave, come sit down," the redhead said patting the seat beside her.
I took a deep breath and sat down beside the redhead. She was reading a book. I looked and saw the cover. She was also reading Prom and Prejudice. I pulled my book out.
"I'm reading that book too," I stated.
The redhead looked at my book and smiled. "Well maybe we should be friends if we like the same book." I smirked and laughed.
I sat with the read head for probably half an hour talking about the book and reading. I liked this redhead. I learned her name is Desiree. We walked out of the atrium and went to our lockers. I noticed the redhead turn to talk to someone. I saw my brother and decided to eavesdrop.
"Jett, I'm not sure if this is a good idea to push our friendships with Clove. She and I actually could be friends. We can't push it! I can actually be her friend. Just please stay out of this friendship. Medal with Cato's friendship with Clove, medal with Marvel's, medal with anyone's, just not mine," Desiree barked pushing my brother away and walking away.
I couldn't believe this. Jett was going to force friendships upon me. I noticed a guy with two girls come up to me. The guy had his arms around the girls. Both of them. I pushed past them. I went to my locker. I heard my phone playing my ringtone. I answered it. It was Isabelle.
"Hey Izzy."
"Hey Clover. What's this I hear you night be coming to live with me after the first semester?"
"Well, if I don't like this school, I'm coming to finish off school back in town."
"I'm going to miss you this first semester. My mom said we are coming after semester one to see you and possibly bring you with us back to home."
"Can I call you back after school? I have something I need to deal with? " I asked looking around my locker door at Desiree.
"Ya, talk to you after school. Bye."
"Bye."
I hung up and followed Desiree into the gym. I grabbed a dodge ball and whipped it all her. She turned to face me as I ran at her. I pushed Desiree against the wall and pinned her there. She looked at me in horror. That is another reason I can't hold onto friends. I have anger management issues.
"What is my brother doing?" I demanded.
"He doesn't want to lose you so he said he wants us to try to be your friends," Desiree looked scared.
I let her go but quickly pinned her again. "Never tell anyone of this. I swear you won't see the light of day if you tell anyone."
Desiree frantically nodded and I released her. I went to my locker and grabbed my stuff for my next class. I will deal with Jett after school.
...
Home at last. We walked in the door and I shut and locked it. Jett looked at me in confusion. I dropped my bag and grabbed Jett by his throat. He was scared. I could tell. Now it was time for me to get the answers I wanted from the mouth of mine own sweet brother.
"What is your and your friends' little plan?" I demanded pushing my brother against the wall.
"Clove, don't be mad! I just wanted to keep you here with me," Jett was scared.
"Jett, don't mess with my life. My decision will be based on who thing actually go. Not how things were laid out by my brother." I released my grip on Jett and went upstairs.
I ran to my room and face planted on my bed. I realized I left my book bag downstairs. My homework was in there. I went to grab it but it disappeared. I marched down the hall towards the kitchen where Jett always goes after school to get food. Jett wasn't in there. I couldn't text him because my phone was in my bag. I yelled. I freaked out.
"Jett! I swear to god, if you took my book bag, I'm going to kill you!"
I heard foot steps going up the stairs. I chased them. I saw Jett going into his room and locking the door. I noticed my book bag on Jett's shoulder. I beat on his door. He finally opened it slowly. I pushed past him when I didn't see my bag on his shoulder. I searched his room. I threw his bed apart before he lifted me up and dragged me out of his room and into mine. I threw myself into my desk chair and covered my face. I looked at the wall phone in my room. I'm the only person with a wall phone in my room. It was lime colored. I remembered that I was supposed to call my best friend. I dialed my best friend. Her mom picked up and I asked for her.
"Hey Clovely. Why are you calling my house phone?"
"My brother stole my phone and is lying about it and I forgot your cell number."
"Whatever so you might be here for second semester?"
"At this rate, I will be. I feel like everything here is messed up and I don't know who wants to be my friend and who has been set up by my brother."
I fell against the wall in the inside of my closet. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I listened to Isabelle's voice. I couldn't hear what she was saying but I could just hear her voice. I was going to cry and I guess I did. Isabelle questioned it.
"Clove, is everything alright?"
"I just miss you. I don't think I can deal with a semester considering how many people are possibly lying to me. I got to go. Talk to you later."
"Bye, Clove, just feel better. Talk to you soon."
The other end went dead. I hung up the wall phone. I decided to go talk to Jett. I burst into his room. He had my book bag sitting by him on the pillow. I walked up to him and grabbed my bag. I took everything that was also mine. He had my day planner, book, and a couple of my personal binders out along with my phone. I marched to my room and locked the door. I opened my planner. Wait, this isn't my planner. It was a copy my planner. It was half filled out with my exact plans. This was sketchy. I went back to Jett's room he was about to open the door when I burst in. He held out my planner. I snatched it from him. I threw his copy at his face. I walked to my room. What's going on?
Something is happening behind my back and I need to know what is happening.
Here is chapter three. What is Jett's plan? What is going to happen? Please review, favorite and follow.
