Chapter 7 "Are Here (Part 3)"

Clove's POV

Fucking Finnick, just ugh! What the hell, double standard much? Just so...ugh! I'm about ready to rip my own hair out.

I didn't even want to come here but I did because of him. Cause I wanted to help him get with a girl who I don't even like. And what does he do? He pisses me the fuck off, that's what. And where the hell is Glimmer? Why am I even asking, she's probably with Cashmere or Gloss. I actually find it kind of disturbing how she's determined to be friends with them. Whatever, none of my business.

I'm on the other side of the room when I see Mason enter the dining room, and not a minute later Glimmer steps out. Wonder what that's about? I'd like to find out.

Since there's no way I'm getting through everyone dancing I go around. Takes me awhile since certain people don't understand the term "excuse me" but they do understand "Get the hell out my way". Idiots, I swear.

By the time I get there Glimmer's talking to Hawthorne. Huh?

She sees me but doesn't say a word; she just smiles my way. Since there's nothing else to do I'll just wait for her to finish. I lean against the wall and listen.

"Why should I listen to you Glimmer?" Glim rolls her eyes at that.

"Well why shouldn't you? You know I'm right."

Messing with Hawthorne I see.

Glimmer continues. "Just do it...You know Mason likes you too."

The fuck? What is she doing? I give her this crazy look and she continues to smile.

The next minute Mason walks right past me and leaves with Hawthorne. Glimmer rolls her eyes as they leave, which confuses me even more. What is going on?

"What was that?" I ask approaching Glimmer.

"Nothing. Just my way of keeping Mellark on my hook."

Of course! I should have known that's what Glimmer was doing.

"Let me ask you this, Glimmer. What are you going to do when Mellark actually gets a girlfriend?"

"He's not," she says with confidence.

"Why so sure?"

"Cause I make sure once in a while I give him a little hope for us. Like right now. I helped Mason even thought she hates me."

God, Mellark's so stupid. How can he not figure out that's what Glimmer is doing to him? She's been doing this since she found out about his crush. I don't understand it. Is he really that blind? Or maybe he just stuck on the sweet little girl Glimmer used to be. I know they grew up on the same block but I don't know how close they were when they were younger. In Glimmer's house there's a couple of photos framed hanging on the wall. They're of little Glimmer in her cute little dresses with Mellark and few other kids in them. Glimmer looks so cute and innocent in those photos. Is that it? He's not crushing on who Glimmer is, but who she used to be.

"What happened when you want a guy, huh?"

She smile, "I'll get him of course. Why wouldn't I?"

"Big head," I tease.

Glimmer hits my shoulder playfully. "Oh shut it."

I breathe out amused. "So are there any guys you're interested in?"

"Well there's Cato—"

"Besides Cato."

"Ooooo, jealous?"

I snort. "Yeah right. Just continue."

"Well, that's pretty much it."

It's kind of odd that Glimmer doesn't like any other guy. I would have thought for sure she'd be all over Gloss. First of all he's hot, and secondly she'd be one of them. It seems like Glimmer to go after him. Psh, I would.

Suddenly I notice Glimmer's staring at me with this creepy smile on her face. Her smile just gets bigger and bigger, maybe she isn't looking at me. I look behind me but no one we know is there. I turn back and Glimmer has moved close to me.

I jump. "Glimmer! The hell, what?"

She laughs. "You think you can talk to Cato for me?"

"Uhh—"

"Great!" Glimmer gets a grab on my shoulders and spins me to the right and there's Cato.

He sees me then smiles.

"Now go on." Glimmer gives me a little push.

"Ugh! I hate you." I start walking.

"Love you too!"

I roll my eyes. Sometimes I just want to slap her, in a loving way.

Cato's leaning on the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. His blonde hair isn't as neatly combed as it usually is. Either way, he looks good. Marvel's with him, looking as goofy as ever. Marvel's a strange guy. First he pats me on the head, than he offered me "treaties", and yesterday he rubbed my belly. I don't understand him. He's just weird.

"Clove!"

"Hey Marvel—Oh my!" Marvel hugs me tightly. I feel like he's trying to squeeze the air out of me.

Cato is looking at me with a huge grin on his face. I send him an evil glare, which just makes him smile more.

Marvel finally lets me go and start to cough repeatedly. I'm coughing like crazy and what does Marvel do? He pats my head. When I stop I narrow my eyes at him.

"Well I'll just be going then." Marvel runs off.

"What is with him?" I ask Cato. He shrugs.

"I don't know. Maybe he likes you."

I snort. "Yeah right."

"No, he wants you." Cato teases me.

"Yeah, maybe as a dog."

Cato looks like he's trying to hold back laughter. "You do realize you technically called yourself a bitch?"

Oh my God, he's right. "Shut up."

He laughs and suddenly I'm laughing with him.

"So what are you doing here? Thought you weren't coming."

"What you don't want me here?"

"No, no. Just curious to know."

I shrug my shoulders. "Doesn't matter."

I lean beside him on the wall and stare forward. Gale and Johanna walk in together from the door, hand and hand. Finally those two are together. Took them long enough. I'm sure Mellark with be thrilled. Hawthorne actually listened to Glimmer. Glimmer, I'm supposed to talk to Cato for her. I completely forgot.

I turn to Cato. He's staring at me or he was. The moment I turned he turned away. Odd.

"So…" I start off "What's up with you and Glimmer?"

"What's with you and Odair?" Cato raises his eyebrows.

"What?"

"I saw him pulling you away from Johanna. For the record you could have taken her."

I bite my lip, debating whether or not I should say something about him and Mason. Obviously that isn't going anywhere, but it could have. I don't know what he saw in her. My stomach starts to twist when I think about it. Wow, I hate Mason a lot.

"I know." I smile.

Cato nods his head up. "You've got a visitor."

I look to my other side. It's Finnick, with his hands in his pocket and a really sad look on his face.

"So," I turn back to Cato. "Glimmer?"

"Clove!"

I roll my eyes. "Sorry, Cato. I have to deal with this jerk right now."

"It's alright. Save me a dance." He glances at Finnick before leaving us alone.

I turn my whole body to Finnick. I look him up and down and wait for him to say something.

"You still mad?"

I pretend to think about it before replying, "No. It's not your fault Mason's stupid."

He smiles. Then he puts his right hand out in front of me.

I play dumb and act like I don't know he's asking me to dance. Finnick grabs my hand and pulls me into the crowd.

It's a slow song so I let him lead. Quickly I come to the realization that Finnick can't dance. Period. He's taking me all over the place and he's bumped into two other guys already. The song isn't even half way through.

"Damn, Finnick. Do you have two right feet or something?" I ask after he steps on my foot for the fifth time.

"Sorry and it's it two left feet?"

"Shut up, either way you suck."

He laughs, "Why don't you lead?"

Good idea.

I grab his hands and have them placed on my shoulders and I put my hands on his hips.

"Well someone likes to be in charge."

"Someone likes things done right." I step on his foot.

"Ow, Clove!"

I smirk. "That's for my feet."

"Good luck to the guy you end up with. He'll need it," he teases me.

I scrunch my face up to him as a response.

Finnick's smiling than out of nowhere he's face goes stunned.

"You okay, Finn?"

"Look."

I turn my head. A couple of feet behind us are Gale and Johanna. She has her head on his shoulder, him with his arm around her and just peacefully together. I've never seen these two more a peace than right now. Even I have to admit, good pairing.

"It's about time."

"What does that mean?"

"This is the way I see it, Finn. When a boy and a girl are best friends, one of them is going to secretly fall for the other."

I knew Gale and Johanna were eventually going to be together. It's happening with Finnick and Annie now. Peeta's the only odd one out. I would have thought he'd fall for Johanna. Maybe he still will.

"It happened to them." I turned back to Finnick.

He looks at me seriously for just a moment before a huge grin appears on his face. "So you're telling me you're going to fall for me eventually."

I jerk my head back. That's not what I was saying at all.

"No. You're going to fall for me." I tease.

He laughs, "Yeah right. I would never fall for you Clove."

"Back at you Odair. You aren't my type."

"Psh. Who is? Cato?"

"What?"

"Oh come on Clove. You aren't that blind are you?"

My eyes flutter for a few seconds. I don't know how to respond to that. I don't say a word. There's a long silence before Finnick breaks it.

"Do you really believe that?"

I nod. "Two people with that kind of connection, are they really ever just friends?"

"I think you're wrong."

I shrug. "Think what you want. It happened to you and Annie, right?"

…

It's around eleven when I deicide to go home. Marvel, Glimmer, and Cato begged me to stay longer but the fact is I'm so sleepy. I'll admit I'm lazy. I need me my sleep!

Finnick offered to walk me home but I told him no. He seemed to be having a nice time with Annie. I didn't want to get in the way of that. Besides, I'm perfectly fine walking alone in the middle of the night in our town. Nothing bad ever happens here.

I walk out the front door and put my coat on. Cashmere is sitting on the first step. I can't tell what she's doing but it looks like she's just staring at her fingers. By the time I get to there I can't go any further. For some reason, I feel the need to talk to her.

"You okay?"

Cashmere looks up to me. "Yeah. I'm great."

"Then what are you doing out here?" I ask.

"I don't know. I'm kind of bored."

She starts playing with her fingers; I notice she has a sliver ring on her right index finger. It has a little heart engraved on it.

"Nice ring."

"Thanks." Cashmere stares at me for a moment. "You were hanging out with Cato and Finnick tonight right?"

Okay? Creepy, how does she know that?

I nod.

"You aren't with either of them, are you?"

I shake my head.

"What's Finnick to you?"

I pause for a moment. I'm not actually sure. Besides talking in class tonight was the only time we've hung out.

"He's a…friend. I guess."

She nods. "And Cato?"

Again, I don't know.

"A friend."

"Good," Cashmere says, relieved.

I cross my hands over my chest. "Why is that?"

She gives me a confused face. "Umm maybe because we've been in school for a week and I already know four girls crying over him."

What?

"Your name's Clove right?"

"Yeah." I nod. "Cashmere right?"

She smiles. "You can call me Cash."

"Well Cash, I better get going. I've got a date with my pillow."

"Have fun."

I'm about to leave but instead I take a seat next to her on the steps.

She raises her eyebrow at me.

I shrug. "My pillow can wait."
