Monday October 31st Halloween
The kiss wasn't in her dream and wasn't because she was drunk, it was because she had actual feelings for him.
A week had gone by and Clove and Cato had told nobody about their romance. Ever since their kiss in the woods they were quiet about everything. At school he would act cocky with her, and she would turn him down just as they had before everything. But after school when Kat dropped her off at home he would appear at her door minutes later, when her mom or dad wasn't home. They would make out until he was forced to go. The academy was different. He would have to lure her into an abandoned room or office to see her. There was always prying eyes there and sneaking around there was always tricky.
Cato wanted to tell everybody about them being together but she was against it.
"But why not" he said between breaths as they made out on the couch in her living room one afternoon after school.
"Because people are supposed to believe that we don't like each other. If we come right out of the blue saying were together people are going to question it" she said as he sucked down her neck with his lips.
"I like people questioning it. It gives it mystery" he said as they went back to making out. Clove quickly glanced over at the clock on the stove.
"Holy shit is that the time?!" she yelled as she threw Cato off her. Him falling over and smacking onto the floor.
"Um ow" he said starting to get up. "What was that for"
"Its four thirty. My mom will be home any minute and I was supposed to meet Glimmer thirty minutes ago to help with the final touches on the haunted house for tonight" she said running around the house as she slipped on her shoes and fumbling to get her coat on.
"Will I see you there tonight?" he asked as he cupped her face with his hands forcing her to stop moving and look at him.
"Yes I will be at the front waiting" she said smiling.
"What time should I meet you?"
"Everybody's coming around seven ish"
"I'll catch a ride with Marvel and meet you there" he said as his lips pressed against hers lightly.
"Okay" she said pushing him away. "I've got to go. If I'm any more late, Glimmer with put my real organs in the house" He laughed as he stepped out the door. She watched though the window as he drove away and then she ran to her car and flied to the school. Clove already knew she was in trouble with Glimmer when she pulled into the school and Glimmer stood outside clipboard in hand with a pissed off look on her face. Clove quickly got out of her car and made her way to Glimmer wincing as she knew what she was in for.
"Your lucky I don't shove my foot so far up your ass, you'll choke on it" she said as they made there way into the school.
"I know I'm sorry. I was doing homework and lost track of timing" she said lying. "But I'm here now, what do you need help with?"
"Getting the front set up. Apparently know body knows how to sell tickets. I've been doing this all by my self for the last half hour"
"Your a real control freak you know that?" she said as she turned to look at her as they made their way to the front, to set up.
"I'll take that as a complement" she said as she gripped the clipboard to her chest. "NO!" she yelled at a couple of juniors who were draping back sheets over the front entry. "There supposed to be set up five feet from where the door frame is. Does nobody know how to do anything right around here?!" she said as she ran down the hall to where they were setting it up.
Clove laughed as she started setting up the table and box to collect the money. She got out the ticket rolls to give out and once she was done she helped to decorate. She hanged fake body parts, spilled blood on the floor and made sure people knew where they were supposed to be hiding in the house to scare people. Around six-thirty the house was just finished.
"Can someone go down to the mechanics room, and cut the light down halls two, three and four please?!" she yelled at a whole bunch of students. Two boys in there grade nodded their heads and took off down the hall to the room.
"Got to say, this house looks better than it has the last four yeas" Clove said nodding her head.
"Well duh. That's because I'm in charge this year, that's why the dance will be the best one this year. It's also why this camping trip will be awesome"
"Why do you want to go camping so much?" Clove said they walked down the hall waiting to officially start the haunted house. "Your the biggest girly girl I know and yet you want to be around bugs, dirt and sleeping on the ground?"
"I think it will be a great bonding experience for all of us. It's our senior year and I want it to be fantastic. Next year we could all be separated at different schools, and I just want to go with a bang you know?"
"I see, but have you ever gone camping before?" Clove said.
"No" she said smiling as if it was no big deal.
"I have a feeling your not gonna wanna again after this" Clove said pulling out her phone, checking the time.
"Everybody should be arriving in a few minutes, you got people ready and to cover you while your gone?"
"Yep. I'll text everybody see where there at"
Clove waited outside the front of the school and just at seven people started to arrive. About ten after seven she saw the girls car pull in with Kat and Jackie. They greeted her and waited for the guys to show up. Once they did they went inside and found Glimmer to start. They paid there entry and started to go in. As they went in Cato stayed very close to her side, as their hands brushed against each others. He didn't say anything though, not wanting anybody to question what was happening between them. As they went into the haunted house the lights were cut and everything was pitch black. Expect for a little bit of light from some torches, most things were black. As they started though creatures would jump out at them or slimy stuff would come from the ceiling. As they started to go deeper she felt Cato lace his hands though hers.
Clove didn't object to this. She knew it was dark and that nobody would be able to tell as they were behind everybody else. Clove knew Cato wanted to show her off to the world as his but, she couldn't just go from 'I hate him" to 'now were dating' people especially her friends would tease her. But Clove knew she would have to tell them at some point. Maybe she would this weekend when they went camping. Glimmer had paired it up so everybody's was with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Kat with Peeta, Jackie with Thresh, Glimmer with Marvel and her and Cato. Even though everybody didn't know they were dating, sharing a tent in October int he middle of know where now wasn't such a bad idea.
The group made the way though the house. Even though Clove wasn't easily scared, she would still clutch close to Cato, so his manly ego would kick in trying to protect his girl, that wasn't really scared. When they got to the end of the house they discounted from each other and she stepped a foot away as they broke into the sunlight of the cafeteria.
"That was so scary!" Jackie squealed.
"Please that was nothing. I've seen scarier things on T.V" Clove said as she brushed her hair out of her face.
"So what do we do now? Its seven-thirty and were already done?" Peeta asked.
"I have no idea but I don't want to go back home. If I do I have to do dishes" Jackie said disgustingly.
"Should we go back to my house? Maybe watch a movie or something?" Glimmer said.
"I gotta go, I never finished my homework. Plus I have a math test tomorrow" Clove said.
"Okay, but before you leave we need to talk about camping this weekend" Glimmer said stopping her.
"So I have the site booked from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon this weekend. We know the sleeping arraignments, and who has to bring what for food. But I was thinking we leave shortly after school Friday? It takes an hour to get up there I want to be up there before it gets dark so we can set up and get cooking. So we would all go home finish packing and leave say four ish? How does that she work" she asked.
"Sounds good" Marvel said.
"Ya, I'll cancel work for this weekend" Thresh said.
"Okay and final check. Who's driving? We can't take all our small cars as it won't fit everybody plus the bags. So does anybody have a big car we can take?"
"My dad's got a truck I can use" Cato said.
"And we can use my dad's GMC, its pretty big" Jackie said.
"Perfect. So leaving around four on Friday get your bags packed and food bought this week"
"Got it. I'll see you guys tomorrow" Clove said as she headed out of the school into the cold night. She tugged her coat and scarf closer to her chest as she made her way to her car. She could see kids trick or treating down the street, and she smiled as she got into her car and headed home.
Friday November 4th
Clove was in her room trying to pack her bag. She had packed so many big sweaters and pants for the cold nights that it wasn't closing. She quickly checked the time on the clock. It said three-fifty five. That meant they would be leaving in a couple minutes. Clove sat on her bag managing to get most of her body weight on it to close the zipper. She sighed in relief as she sat off it and carried it down the stairs, groaning from the weight. She dropped it in the hallway making a big loud smack as it hit the floor. She ran into the kitchen as she started shoving the food she bought into bags. She was in charge of snacks. So she got chips and candy, stuff for the fire and even a bottle of vodka.
By the time she was done she heard the doorbell go off. She ran to open it, revealing Kat in a big sweater, with leggings and boots.
"Ready to go?" she asked.
"Yep. Bye mom" she yelled down the hall.
"Bye honey. Have fun. And text me when you arrive so I know your safe" her mom said from down the hall.
"I will" she said as Kat took the food bag and Clove grabbed her bag. They lugged them to the car and loaded them into the GMC. For the four girls in the car, it was packed with bags of clothes and food. With pillows and and tent boxes. Once everything was loaded they got into the car and headed onto the highway, the guys truck right behind them. The drive wasn't long, and they talked about how much fun it was going to be this weekend.
Clove wanted to bring it up that her and Cato were dating but she decided against it, as she wanted him with her when they told everybody. Soon enough they arrived at there campsite. It was cold outside and the leaves were all turning red, yellow and orange them. As they stepped out of the car Clove could already feel the nature around them. The smell of trees,and dirt with the smell of campfires from the people on other sites around them.
"So you ready to get this party started?"
I know its short, but I was gone all weekend at a friends cottage and didn't really get the chance to write. But next one will be longer promise!
