Hunger Games One-Shot Book

Friday The 13th

Everyone says that Friday the 13th is supposedly a scary day. I don't see what's so scary about it at all. Then again, I don't get scared. I walk down the halls, to find my regular group of friends standing around outside of the double doors. I was surprised to see that they are accompanied by The Careers. That is another popular group here at our school. I was surprised because normally the popular groups don't mix at all, yet here we are. The Careers consist of Glimmer, Cashmere, Gloss, Cato, Marvel, Finnick, Enobaria, and Coraline. My group consists of Annie, Katniss, Johanna, Gale, Peeta, Madge, Thresh, and myself. Our group is known as The Outcasts. We got the name because we all used to be outcasts, well all of us except for Annie. She wasn't ever really considered an outcast but she was always bounced around the popular groups. She would be part of one, then part of another the next week. The only people who are missing right now are Gloss, Cashmere, Glimmer, and I.

"What the actual fuck is this?" I ask, as I approach.

"Oh look! The detention delinquents finally decided to grace us with their presence." Finnick exclaims, causing the three other members of his group that weren't just in detention to laugh.

I roll my eyes and walk over to Katniss and Jo.

"Seriously though, what's going on?" I mutter to them.

Katniss shrugs and motions to Johanna. I turn to Jo and she raises her hands in mock surrender.

"So, basically, these dumbasses think that they can beat us in a fear competition. Right now, they are trying to figure out what each side gets if they were to win." Jo explains.

"Well that's the dumbest thing I've heard today." I reply, shaking my head.

"Any of you got an idea?" I hear Finnick ask, knowing he means Katniss, Johanna, and I.

"For what?" Jo asks, immediately getting laughs from The Careers.

"I'd say, haunted house or something." I say, because unlike Jo, I actually know what Finnick meant.

"Not bad, nerd." I hear Marvel say quietly.

"Oh, so I'm a nerd now? Just because I know how to not fail a class doesn't make me a nerd," I say, as my temper begins to rise, "And you know what? I don't care what the hell you guys come up with because I'm not participating." I finish, making a not in my head to continue working on keeping my temper at bay. As I begin to walk away, I hear footsteps following me. Turning around, I see it's Cato and Glimmer. Once they realize I've seen them, I begin to run.

"You can't outrun us Clove!" Cato yells after me.

"Clove just because you don't like us doesn't mean you need to ignore us! You don't have to forget the past!" Glimmer screams at me.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW I DON'T WANT TO FORGET?! HOW COULD YOU ASSUME YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME ANYMORE?! NEITHER OF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME ANYMORE BECAUSE YOU DON'T CARE! IF YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GOOD FOR YOU, YOU WOULD LEAVE ME ALONE!" I scream at them, turning and running off the road down a small path. I continued running, until I knew I was alone. Then I slowed to a walk, admiring the beauty of the forest. I walked to a small river and sat down, watching the water as it moves freely, much unlike me.

I can hear footsteps behind me. It's only one person, and not very heavy. I turn to face where the footsteps are coming from and see Glimmer.

"Clove," she pauses, just staring at my face, "You say I don't know anything about you anymore. That's because you won't let me. If your going to scream at us for things we have done in the past, then maybe you need to learn to move on. Everything you do doesn't have to go unnoticed, everything you do doesn't have to be hidden from everyone, everything you do doesn't have to be a secret."

As she finishes I realize she doesn't hate me like the rest of The Careers. I just laugh. It's not a happy laugh. It's not a laugh of pain. To be completely honest, I have no idea why I'm laughing. Suddenly I feel the urge to not be there anymore, I get up and just take off running towards the road. Some dumb driver sees me and decides to swerve off the road and hit me with his car.

Falling, I see both mine and Glimmer's group coming towards us. I know they were looking for us. I can feel Glimmer come up behind me. She tries to lift me, but can't. The only reason she can't is because I'm clinging onto the ground for dear life. I don't want to let go and then bleed out, or something else like that.

"GUYS!!" I hear Glimmer scream at our friends, although now it's very distant even though she's right next to me.

Suddenly, all of our friends are surrounding us. I can now tell that Glimmer is crying, and so are my siblings.

"I don't know what to do. I can't lift her. I'm scared to even try again. I don't want to hurt her, and plus, she's literally holding the ground." Glimmer says, though I don't hear anything. I can just see her lips moving which is how I know she's talking.

I can feel that I'm being lifted. I am moved to see an ambulance. When did that get here? As I'm laid down in the ambulance I can see that it was Finnick, my own twin, who had lifted me.

I can slowly feel myself dying. I'm losing my strength, my energy, everything. When we reach the hospital I'm put into a room, and they check some things. I have no idea what the doctor told my friends (and Glimmer's of course), but they seem to think I'm dying. Honestly I do too, so I can't really blame them, can I? They each say goodbye to me, each of them saying something different. The last to come we're Cato and Glimmer.

Glimmer gave me a hug and said, "You were the best best friend I could ever have." She then leaves, leaving me with Cato.

Cato says something but I have no idea what it was, I mean, I didn't hear what Glimmer said either. All I know is that he said something, and then it happened.

He kissed me.

After that happened, I was scared for the first time in my life.

That was the last thing I remember before I left. Before I got to go into the light. Before I got to go see my mother, my father, and my sisters.

A/N That was so bad I know. I just wanted to write a one shot. I got the idea two days ago, on Friday the 13th. In this chapter it was October, and Friday the 13th. Clove wasn't scared of anything, or so she thought. I wanted to just prove that, not everything goes as planned. Not everything on Friday the 13th might be scary. The few things that are scary on Friday the 13th, are things that happen on their own. Let me know what you think! If you have any ideas pm and I will see what I can do! (Note- I can receive pm's but I can't message u back. Don't worry I can still see them and all, I just can't say anything back.)
