Hunger Games Boarding School

Chapter Twenty Four

Clove's POV

I dry myself off and change into sweats and a t-shirt. It's not like i'm trying to impress anyone. It's most likely gonna be me and Kat watching 'Friends' until Finch calls us and forces us to go to dinner with the group.

"Do you wanna get a pizza, 4 has the best food so if not we can order in." I ask Katniss what she wants to eat before we binge watch something.

"Actually I gotta go.." She walks out of the bathroom wearing a nice black skater dress with red heels.

"Where too?" I ask eyeing her outfit, "And with who?"

"Well um. Peeta asked me out on a date." Katniss smiles. Her cheeks almost turn as red as her shoes.

"Aw! Well good for you Kat! Have fun, you better tell me every detail when you come back." I smile as she waves goodbye and leaves.

Well.. More food for me.

I order a pizza, side of pasta, breadsticks, and a salad. Okay, just kidding not the salad.

I pop on the tv and go to On Demand and turn on my favorite show, the one I was supposed to watch with Katniss. That date better be good, she needs a good reason to leave me by myself.

My phone rings, and I hope it's not the food place saying nothing is wrong with my order. It's Cato, act cool.

"Hey"

"Hey Clover, are you busy."

I look at the T.V and then the takeout menu. Cato or food?

"No, what's up?"

"I was wondering, you wanna go to the boardwalk later?"

Duh!

"Haha, okay, i'll pick you up at 6." Did I say duh out loud? So much for keeping it cool.

"Alright, see ya." I say and hang up after he says bye.

I look at the clock, 5:30?! He only gives me 30 minutes to ready?! I throw my clothes around looking for something to replace my sweatpants and old t-shirt. Now I actually do have to impress someone. I finally chose a black crop top with white high waisted shorts. For all that time I spent trying to find a cute outfit, I chose the simplest one there is. What a waste of 10 minutes.

A knock on the door stops me from doing my makeup and I completely mess up my eyeliner. He's here? Already? It's 5:47!!Shit.

I don't see Cato when I answer my door, I see my food, god bless. I've never been this happy to see food. To bad I can't eat it. I quickly curl my hair by the time I finish he's here this time.

I open the door and Cato is standing with his hands behind his back. "I didn't know smudged eyeliner was the new thing." He laughs. Oh no! I forget to fix my makeup! I run to the bathroom and look at my reflection when I hear Cato yell "Clover I was kidding it looks fine."

I walk back to him with my arms crossed, "You're such an ass" I laugh.

"I'm sorry Clove, will you forgive me?" He asks with a pouty face.

I pretend to think about it, but then answer, "Hmm.. no I don't think that's going to happen" with a smile.

"Will these help your decision?" He pulls a bouquet of lilies from behind him. How did he know those were my favorite?

"Hmm.. I guess, but..." I say with a smile forming on my lips.

"But what?" He wines.

"You gotta win me something from those stupid arcade games." I laugh at how cliche I am.

"Deal." He grins and we head off.  

Wow I finally updated haha. I'm putting everyone's request in so I started with some Clato.

Happy St. Patrick's day!
