Chapter 15 - Pageant
Jett POV (A/N Surprise!)
I found something to take Clove's mind of the conflict with Cato. A pageant! Not just any pageant, a sport theme pageant. I knock on Clove's door at about six in the morning. I have a huge dress bad with me. Clove didn't answer the door so I just walked in and turned on the lights. Clove groaned and I sat on her bed. She sat up and her eyes widened when she saw the bag. I smiled and stood up. I opened the silk dress bag. I pull out a fluffy floor-length blood red glitzy pageant dress. I then pulled out a purple and black striped glittery bikini. After that, I pulled out single sleeved gold and silver gymnastics outfit. I decided to enlighten her.
"Sister dearest, I signed you up for a glitz pageant."
"And you didn't even consider consulting me first?" she barked.
She got up and I braced myself for impact of her fist. She hugged me. She hugged me? I suddenly understood. She always did pageants until Cephas, um, passed on. I was bringing her back to a simpler time. When she was a beauty queen. I looked at her shelves. I noticed she had her old pageant case with all of her crown, sashes, everything in there. It was custom made for Clove's pageant awards. I thrust the dress into her hands. She changed into it. Perfect fit. Same story with the bikini and the gymnastics outfit. I hired a hair and makeup person.
Clove went outside and started to create some routines. I watched her beauty and swimwear but I went inside while she did her gymnastics routine. I couldn't wait for her to participate in this pageant.
*Pageant Day*
Early morning and Clove is getting her hair and makeup done. I pulled her red dress out and she slipped it on. I had her step into my red pumps. We went down to the stage area. I noticed Cato sitting with a little blonde girl in a pink tutu pageant dress. Clove goes to line up with her group while I go sit beside Cato acting like I didn't know Cato was there.
"Jett? What are you doing here?" he asked me pulling the little girl onto his lap.
"Clove is participating in the pageant. Who is your little girlfriend?" I asked grabbing the little girl's hand.
"This is my cousin, Ginger. She's only six and her parents both have to work and her brothers refuse to go anywhere near a pageant. I figured I might as well bring her and check out some of the hot girls my age."
"Next up, we have contestant number 94. Clove," the emcee said.
We watched Clove do her beauty routine. I listened to the emcee reading Clove's information card.
"Clove has raven hair and emerald eyes. Her favorite sport is gymnastics which she will be using for her sports wear. Her favorite performers are herself, her best friend Desiree, and her brother's band. And this is contestant number 94, Clove."
She exited the stage and grabbed my hand. She dragged me away from Cato. While she changed into her bikini and yelled at me while she did that.
"Jett. I can not believe you invited Cato. I thought I was doing this pageant to get away from him and yet you invited him? Why on Earth would you do that stupid?"
"He's here for his cousin, Clove. He isn't here for you."
She stepped out from behind the changing stand and showed off her bikini. The swimwear went by very quickly but next was sports wear. She was in her gymnastics wear. She her hairdresser straightened her hair for swimwear after it was curled for beauty. For sportswear, it was being tied into a simple ponytail. Her makeup was changed for each routine. For sportswear, it was simple eyeliner, mascara, and lip balm. I watched as she lined up. I saw Cato and Ginger sitting in the crowd. Ginger looked like a little female Cato. She was in a football outfit. It was so cute. It was Clove's turn. She did her routine to Bring The Fire.

I smiled as Clove finished her routine. It was all these flips and cartwheels and handsprings. It was so complicated. I was so proud. It was time for crowning next. I had Clove change into her glitz dress and let her ponytail out. I didn't made her change her makeup. We sat with Cato and watched Ginger's crowning. Ginger won queen of her division so she didn't pull out. She was freaking out. Cato had trouble calming her down but Clove managed to calm her down. Ginger sat on Clove's lap. I noticed Clove glaring at Glimmer. This would be entertaining for crowning in Clove's division.
Clove set Ginger on her chair while she went up for crowning. I noticed a couple girls we knew from school in pageants. Madge, Glimmer, Cecelia, and Raquel. I was ready for Clove to pull out of her division.
Third runner up was Raquel. Second runner up is Cecelia. First runner up was someone named Lizzie. The divisional queen was someone named Bria. The girls with glitter passes, the passes saying you were going to be called again later, were Madge, Glimmer, and Clove. I saw the uncrowned girls without glitter passes in the group looking upset. I saw how mad the loser were. I found it funny. Clove lifted Ginger up and sat her back down on her lap. I listened for The girls I knew being called.
Madge won supreme personality.
Glimmer won grand supreme.
Clove was left with only one title left. She either won ultimate grand supreme or she didn't win anything. I lifted Ginger off her lap just in case she was called. I sat Ginger on my lap but she held Clove's hand.
"And the ultimate grand supreme is, contestant number," the emcee paused. "94. Clove!"
Clove walked up to the stage. She was crowned, given $5000 cash, given a cape thing, and was given a sash. She looked beautiful. I was so proud of my twin. When she came off the stage, I hugged her. This went perfect except for one thing.
That didn't distract her from Cato since he was here.
Chapter fifteen! Yay! Smiles! I am probably way over excited! Please review, favorite, and follow.
