I'm Back!!!
***
Effie Trinket started out every morning the same. She would get up, get dressed, eat breakfast and do her makeup, and then head out the door with a steaming cup of tea and drive off to work, mentally preparing herself and walking through her lesson plans for that day. She would then proceed to the school building and into her classroom, occasionally having a small chat with some of her fellow staff members. She then would get some last minute grading done as well as make copies of things she needed that day, and write the day's agenda up on the board for her students to see. She would sit at her mahogany desk and drink her tea, letting herself relax until students flooded into the building.
This morning was different.
Sure, her routine at home wasn't changed at all. It was when she arrived at the school, however, that the day took a sharp turn from normal.
The very first thing she saw when she walked through the front doors was a group of other teachers, all frantically speaking to one another, each with a equally confused equally shocked equally furious expression on their face. Effie was confused herself. What had gotten her coworkers into such fuss?
"I cannot believe this!" hollered one of the gym teachers, Brutus. "Has anyone called Mr. Sevina?"
"I just got off the phone with him," the art teacher, Cinna, responded. "He should be down shortly to have a look at it."
"A look at what?" Effie asked, causing all of the staff's heads to turn towards her. Brutus let out a sharp laugh. "Wait until you see, just wait," he said, and then proceeded to lead her and the rest of the teachers into the gymnasium, where Effie found herself completely baffled. Her eyes went wide as a gas escaped her lips.
"Oh, dear," she said, almost breathless, "I think we have a major problem here."

Much to Clove's amazement, her first though when she woke up was of none other than Cato Hadley. Thinking about him made her confused. She knew that he was bad news, and that her father especially thought so, but she couldn't help feel a rush of excitement every time someone mentioned his name.
He was very attractive, she would give him that. And not to mention that he had a way with words. Clove wouldn't be surprised if he left a slew of girls back in Miami who where head over heels for him. That and he probably made each one of them feel special, then did what he wanted with them until her found thinnest best thing, and kicked them to the curb one by one.
Clove would not be one of those stupid girls who let herself fall for him, let him take advantage of her, and then let him cast her aside like she was a piece of garbage. No, not Clove Sevina.
That's when it struck her. She had completely forgotten about it, until now.
"Oh no..." she breathed, sitting up in her bed and putting a hand up to her mouth. "Oh no oh no oh no oh no..." she kept repeating to herself, as what she and the blonde boy had done ran through her mind over and over again, until she felt as though she was going to both pass out and throw up.
"What have I done?"

Cato Hadley smirked to himself as he made his way into school that morning. The memory of what he and Clove had done still fresh and vivid in his mind. He carried on with his morning like normal, but for reasons he couldn't explain, he felt more energized. He felt like.... He didn't know what he felt like. All he knew was that he felt different, a good kind of different.
He told his buddy Blaze what had happened before he left the house that morning. Blaze was stunned that Cato had somehow convinced Clove to go along with it. "Dude!" he had exclaimed, and Cato could practically see his friend go nuts. "And I thought you were loosing your game!"
And then Blaze proceeded to gush to Cato about what he and Clove had done, and before Cato knew it, Blaze had completely forgotten about it and was giving Cato the details about his latest hook up.
As soon as his eyes landed on the crazed faces of his fellow classmates, Cato knew that they knew. But what gave him great satisfaction was this: They had absolutely no idea that the new kid (the said to be bad news, good for nothing bad boy) and the perfect girl (the preacher's daughter who never did anything out of line) were behind the whole thing.
The thought made Cato's lips turn up into a smirk. He let out a small chuckle as he made his way to his locker, anxious to see what the day would bring.

Woo! Look at me! I updated, finally!
Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates (I feel as though I say that way more than I should have). I started high school (yay to being a freshman) and it wasn't as bad as I though it would be. It's a bit stressful, but the football games are fun and I just went to the homecoming dance last night and had a totally blast. A girl had the same dress on as me though and the only one of my friends who really danced besides me was my sister, but other than that, I had fun.
And no, for those wondering, I went with friends and not with a guy.
How's school been going for everyone? I was sick when I went back, so I feel like nothing can get worse than it already has. I had a double ear infection and a sinus infection at the same time, and I ended up throwing up on like, the fourth day of school. It happened right in the hallway and was super embarrassing, but good news is that it didn't get on anyone else but myself. So, there's that.
Does anyone else have any cringe worthy back to school stories? Leave them down in the comments so we can all suffer through the memories together. Also, anyone have any ideas to what Cato and Clove did? Drop a comment down below and lets see if anyone can guess it. And who knows? I may like your ideas so much that I might pick one of them to use.
Anyway, I'm glad to be back, and (hopefully) expect more soon! (:
PS: I unpublished Uncover today. I'm sorry if this upsets anyone, it's just that I hated it so much and am extremely unhappy with it. So, it's gone for now.
