So does anyone else hate school as much as me right now? The amount of work that I have to do keeps growing and never decreases. Also hate my math teacher right now. But never the less I think that this story will have to be updated every other Tuesday. Seeing as I never have time on my hands anymore.
Enjoy!
"Emergency girls sleepover Friday"
"I felt like this week was never ending" Glimmer complained.
The girls were at Kat's house hanging out in their pyjamas as they lounged around her bedroom scoffing down junk food.
"Don't even get me started" Clove said as she shoved another spoonful of ice cream from the tub into her mouth.
"I saw Carter at the academy yesterday" Jackie said. "He's as good as I remember him"
"Why do you think I haven't gone to the academy in over a week? If he's there I'm not"
"You can't keep avoiding it, if he's there. If you don't work out you'll get fat"
"Oh well. Better then being in the same room as him" she said with a mouthful of ice cream.
"So I got some dirt from Kevin on him"Glimmer said as she laid across Kat's white carpet floor.
"Keep talking" Clove said now fully interested.
"What Kevin heard was that before Carter moved to Vancouver he was kicked out of his last school for serious violence"
"No surprise there" Clove muttered.
"It gets even better. When he knew that he was coming back here, he had to convince his parents to move into this town so he could attend our school. They wanted to go back to the city they were before they left"
"So he did move here because of you" Jackie said to Clove. "That's just proof right there as to why he's here"
"Kevin could just be lying. You know those story's they spread like wildfire" Kat said as she flipped though a magazine lying in pink sweatpants and a black shirt.
"He said he heard it from several other guys. Truth be told I don't think he's lying as this is something he would really do" Glimmer commented.
"So he has a motive then"
"That motive being me" Clove groaned as she rolled over onto her back on Kat's bed. Ice cream spoon still in hand. "Why is he so interested in coming back for me? He's the one who broke up with me in the first place"
"What happened again between the two of you again? I need a refresher to hate him more" Kat said as she rolled over facing Clove.
Clove took a deep breath as if to calm her nerves before speaking. "Everything went fine until the weekend of my birthday. He thought Marvel was hitting on me at my party"
"Eww" Glimmer interrupted. "Marvel was not hitting on you"
Clove once again winced at the name Marvel. But she continued on without showing her feelings. "He got really mad, and we had a huge fight right there. He said we were over, stormed out and ruined my birthday for me. The next day he was on the plane to Vancouver and that was the last I heard of him"
"I remember your birthday" Jackie said. "That was the first time you had got so drunk"
"Ya I was trying to erase the memory of the fight and him. It didn't work so well..." she said trialing off. "So what are the guys doing tonight?" she asked trying to get everybody off the topic of Carter.
"I could get Marvel to ask around the football team about him being here. But if it get's back to Carter he will know we were the ones asking" Yep not off the subject.
Jackie pondered for a moment before adding. "I could ask him next time were at the academy. Try and get something out of him" she said finally before closing her magazine.
"We won't answer if your asking. He'll give a half ass excuse. Plus there's no asking Carter, there's only threatening. You won't be able to get anything out of him" Jackie said as she jumped up and went to check her charging phone.
"We need to know why he's here, so we can get him out of here. If he's here for Clove it will be easy. Anything else might be a problem" Glimmer said.
"God, guys can you get off the topic of Carter already I don't want to talk about him" Clove wined.
Glimmer flinched at Cloves remark and instantly changed the subject when her phone went off. "My parents just text-ed me saying their leaving for the night"
"Where they going?"
Glimmer scrolled though her phone messages looking for her answer. "They said they won a one night stay in a suite at the Hamilton Hotel. They had to use it by this weekend or they lost it"
Jackie laughed. "And they never thought to tell you? Just text you where they were going the moment they left?
"That's how it goes in my family" Glimmer said before pressing her phone to her ear.
"Who are you calling?" asked Jackie.
"They guys"
"This was a bad idea" Clove said as the walked down the streets with the girls. They were dressed in sweatpants and shirts with shoes as they headed down the road to meet where the guys had parked their car.
"What are you talking about? We do this all the time?" Jackie said as she pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Blowing out the smoke into the cold black sky.
"I know I just don't feel right, right now" It only scared her because she knew that Carter lived around here. He could be hiding in a bush right now ready to jump out and grab her. Even though she could kick his ass he still scared her after their past.
They rounded the corner and saw Cato's black truck parked on the side of the road. As soon as the girls got close enough the guys hoped out of the car. They all embraced their girlfriends with hugs and kisses. Clove snuggled into Cato's chest letting him wrap his arm around her small waist. Her long black hair swopping in and covering most of her face.
"So what are we doing ladies and gents?" Thresh said as he held hands with Jackie who was just finishing the last of her cigarette.
"I'm going back up to the house I'm freezing" Clove said as she stepped away from Cato wrapping her coat closer to her body.
Cato steeped forward and grabbed her hand lacing his fingers though hers. "I'll go with you" they both said goodbye to everybody else as they headed back up the street.
"Use protection!" Peeta yelled at them. Clove turned around giving him the finger before they could no longer be seen in the dark.
The group stayed quiet for a few minutes before Marvel spoke. "So Glimmer what are we gonna do?"
"Do what?" Jackie said looking between the two of them.
"After I hung up the phone I text-ed them saying we all needed to talk about Carter. I was hoping Clove would leave with Cato and now that they did, we need to do something about him being back here" she said quickly.
Peeta was the first to speak. "Well what can we do? He's not going to leave if he ask him. We just have to deal with him"
Jackie huffed madly. "Okay I can deal with him being here but I don't want him around Clove. We know what he's like and what he'll do if he gets a chance. It even thrills him more her being with Cato. This will end badly for all three of them if Carter goes after Clove"
"Well what are we supposed to do? Telling him to stay away only intrigues him more, he won't listen to any of us" Thresh said.
"Okay so how about this? At all times someone is with her? Carter won't go near her if any of us are around, its only when she's alone. If at least one of us is with her at all times he won't try anything"
They all nodded at the idea. "I like it. But we can't let Clove or Cato know what were doing"
"Deal" they all said.
Back at the house Clove and Cato were making out on Glimmers couch in her room. Clove had her arms wound around his neck and he had hers though her dark hair.
Clove heard her phone ringing and pushed Cato off to answer it, thinking it could be her mom.
"Hello?" she said somewhat out of breath.
"Hello Clove, nice new number" Carter said at the other end of thr line.
Short I know but hoommmeeeewwooorrrkkkkkkkk sorry :(
Review for next chapter and the entire story behind Clove and Carters past together.
