BEEP BEEP BEEP. My alarm clock went off and I quickly turned it off. I pulled the cover over my head and groaned. I wish I didn't have to go to school today.

"Up up up! It's going to be a big big day!" mom calls from the door, imitating Effie. I sigh and yank my covers off. I've only met Effie a couple of times, and from what I know I don't plan on seeing her again for a while. That's fine with me. She's really nice she's just a little...out there.

I bring my thoughts back to the moment and sluggishly start getting dressed for school. I am deffinately not a morning person.

Roy and I are good now. Like nothing ever happened. I smile at the thought but am interrupted by my dad.

"You sure look happy." Dad puts down his cup of tea. "What happened?"

"Roy and I got back together!" I say accidently. Dad's smile disappears. Oh no, I forgot that he doesn't like Roy. Not at all. I think he just hates the Hawthorne family altogether.

"You're still hanging out with him?" He murmurs. That was a stupid question, of course I was. But I nod slowly anyway before mom walks in and hands me my plate of toast. "Why? Don't get involved with that family. Don't get involved with him. He's a bad influence."

"Is this..." Mom sighs as dad nods his head. I look at them both.

"NO! I love him." I cover my mouth as the words try and escape. Mom and dad look horrified. Great. Another mistake.

"You can't love him. Your father is right. Don't get involved with this family." Mom tells me. Are they ganging up on me or what? I at least thought mom would understand.

"You can't tell me who I can see and who I can't. This is my life!" I scream furiously and storm out the door. A second later, I walk back in and grab my bag before slamming the door behind me and walk to school.

I mumble under my breath and stomp away towards the old school building. NOT a good way to start the morning.

Who do they think they are? I scream silently in my head and keep walking.

"Hey!" I hear from behind me. I turn around and see Roy walking towards me. I dont stop and wait, I look forward and keep walking.

"What's wrong?" he asks putting a hand on my shoulder and stopping me.

"My parents." I say. "Now they don't want me to hang out with you. Just like your parents. Why do they have to hate each other so much?"

I keep walking and he walks next to me. "I know how you feel..."

"Wait." I stop. "I have an idea." I smirk a little. "Go ahead." he says staring at me.

"We need to get them all together again." I say smiling.

"What? Are you crazy they'll kill each other!" he says raising his eyebrows. "And besides they'd never agree to see each other again."

"Not if they don't know we're all going to be there."

"Okay I'm lost. Explain." he says stopping. I stop with him.

"Okay here's what we do. You know the restaurant in town, the new one." I say.

"Yeah, that expensive one with all the Capitol food."

"Exactly. We ask our parents if we can eat there for dinner. You go at 8:00 and we go at 8:15. That way they won't see us leaving." I say.

"Okay, that makes sense. But what if they won't sit together? And what if they start screaming at the restraunt?"

"Gosh you ask a lot of questions." I say playfully. "First, you sit at the biggest table there, when I walk in I'll come sit in the chair next to you and my family will be forced to follow me. And dont worry, we'll be the only people there, they're never busy on Monday nights."

"...okay this is crazy." he finally says. "But we might as well give it a shot."

"Yay! Thank you!" I say jumping and giving him a big hug. I was expecting him to say no.

School went by in a blur. I walked through the front door of our home and saw mom and dad sitting in the living room discussing something. Hoping that they wouldn't realise, I walked pass the door and up the stairs. Unfortunately, my plan doesn't work.

"Rose." I hear my dad say. "Come here." Hesitantly, I turn back and walk into the room, sitting on the couch opposite them.

"We're really sorry about earlier." Mom apologises. "You're right. It is your life and we shouldn't be controlling it by telling who you can or cannot see..." She trails off.

"Or love." Dad finishes quietly and mom rests her head on his chest. It's a really sweet scene.

"Good. Can I leave now?" I ask impatiently, tapping my foot.

"Just wait a bit please." Dad replies. I slide back into the couch for further comfort and wait while my parents look at each other awkwardly like they're deciding who should kill someone. Kill. The word hits me. Are they planning to kill the Hawthornes'? Finally mom speaks up.

"We're going to arrange a meeting with the Hawthorne family tonight." Mom smiles at me weakly. "At the new restaurant that just opened." I open my mouth in shock. Did they just make my plan like...a hundred percent easier? Without realising, I dive into my dad's arms to thank him. Mom strokes my hair softly.

"You might like to get ready. We'll call the Hawthornes'." Dad states before walking off with mom. They do everything together. I just don't know if I could have a relationship with Roy like that.
