Okay, so soon my updates are going to be quite spaced due to school, which starts in about 2 weeks. PREPARE FOR IT! Okay so now I am going to let you all read this. I do not own The Hunger Games.

Chapter 2: Strong

"Clove! CLOVE I KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE! I HEAR YOU BEING SILENT!" Yells a voice I can only identify as Katniss', breaking me from my slumber.

"SHHH I'M SLEEPING!" I shout back, snuggling into my comforter. I just as I shut my eyes, she barges in. I sit up, just as she goes rummaging through my closet.

"Why are you going through my closet?" I ask whilst rubbing my eyes. She looks at me with that Are you freaking kidding me? look, which I answer with a shrug.

"Classes start today you idiot!" She screams in my face, making me flinch back. My eyes widen and I bolt out of bed, and rummage through my closets with Katniss. I pull out a black leotard and a forest green wrap skirt. Katniss pulls out a grey sweater, and a pair of high waisted denim shorts. She hands them to me, and goes outside of the room, closing the door on the way out. I put on my undergarments, tights, leotard, shorts and the sweater. I put on some Ugg boots, and pack my wrap skirt, turquoise tutu, black pointe shoes, a bottle of water, soft ballet slippers and a pair of green leg warmers in my dance bag.

I quickly make my hair into a tight bun, and rush out the door, to find Katniss ready with the exact same outfit as me. She smirks, and I scowl.

"Really Kat, you have to copy me?" I ask, and wonder if she packed the same things as me. She tends to do that, mostly on purpose.

"I felt like it." She replies, and I don't argue, as she always wins. Although I do punch her playfully in the arm, and she mocks being injured.

We walk down the halls, and go to the locker area. Apparently I have Locker 2F and Katniss has 12F. She goes over to her own locker, and I go to find mine. 'There it its, locker 2F' I think. I use the combination to open it, and find a pair of pointe shows on a rack. I leave the shoes where they are, and examine the schedule taped to the locker door. I have classical ballet first, and then something called C.N.M.B, I use my finger to mark the spot where it is.

"That stands for Contemporary Ballet." Says a deep voice from behind me. I turn around in a snap to find a boy with blonde hair and ice blue eyes. He has a strong muscular build, and is quite tall. He holds out his hand for me to shake, and I take it.

"Cato Hadley." He says.

"I'm Clove Sevina." I say, and hitch my bag higher on my shoulder. I close my locker.

"I'll see you around" He says and walks over to a group with a blonde girl and a brunette. Katniss walks up from behind me and links arms with me, pulling me along.

"So who was that blonde beauty you were talking to?" She teases. I roll my eyes "His name is Cato." I answer, and she pokes my side and wiggles her eyebrows. "Katniss! Stop that, I only just met the guy!" I whisper and shout at the same time. She laughs and pulls me a long to class.

Once we get there, I see Cato the blonde girl, and the brunette boy again. He waves and I give him a small smile, as I put my bag on a shelf, and pull off my sweater, shorts and boots. I tie on my wrap skirt and slip on my ballet slippers. I go over to the barre, and stretch my legs and back.

After 15 minutes of stretching the teacher Miss Coin walks in. The way she walks, shouts authority.

"Alright, Listen up! Girls on the right barre, boys on the left," She yells, and everyone scurries off to their place. "Do all the positions, repeated." She says, and we follow, all at once. 1st position, 2nd and so on. After 20 minutes of positions, Miss Coin tells us girls to change to pointe shoes.

"Girls line up, and stand in 1st position on pointe" She says, after we all have our shoes on. We all stand on pointe, ignoring the burning pain in our toes. The blonde girl Cato was talking to, is standing up gracefully.

"Excellent Glimmer" Miss Coin praises. So the blondes name is Glimmer. Miss Coin examines the girls, until she gets to me. She stops abruptly.

"You can't be on pointe" She says, and gestures for me to lower myself. "Your ankles are not strong enough".

Sorry its so short guys! I have been busy for the last couple of days, but I hope you liked it! Please review as well!

Xoxo, Jada
