AN: I've got most of this fic written already. Was taking a break from Tied Together to work on this prompt so once I've finished writing the last chapter of this I'll work on Tied Together again. Will be attempting to post one chapter a day and it will be about 8 chapters long.

Prompt from tumblr user The-real-poetic-rambler - Kat notices that Clove glares at her and really seems to hate her. But Kat keeps getting these really deep and sweet love notes from a secret admirer. Everything gets revealed soon after.

I walk through the halls on my way to my locker. I have English next, another lesson of having that girl, Clove, glaring at the back of my head as if she'd like to kill me. I wouldn't be surprised if she did, she is often seen beating the shit out of people in the hallways.

I shudder, having her glaring at me all the time is not a good thing, after all there's a rumour going around school that the dark haired girl is an accomplished knife thrower and I'm pretty sure it's true. You just don't want to be on the wrong side of the deceptively small girl or it could get you in trouble.

I sigh when I see her near my locker; she shoots a glare my way as she watches me approach. I glance at her to find her smirking at me in a self-satisfied way before she walks off. The crowd parts for the smaller girl, knowing better than to get in Clove's way.

I sigh shaking my head wondering what I ever did to get her to hate me so much. I open my locker and find a piece of paper has been slipped inside it. A small smile graces my lips and I unfold the piece of paper and read the note which is written in distinctive messy writing.

Katniss

You are the most gorgeous person to ever walk the earth. My love for you is so strong that I can barely contain it. Just a look from you is enough to cause my heart to feel as if it is exploding within my chest. When I see your beautiful eyes on me I find myself unable to do anything but stare.

I want you to know that even if you don't know who I am that I am yours. Your laughter sounds like the music of the gods. I wish I could be the one to cause your laugh just once, when I hear it I just want to cross the room and take your lips in mine.

I know you don't know who I am and I'm sorry I cannot step forward, when I see you and try to actually talk to you nervousness swirls inside me and I find myself immobilised. How is it that you have this power over me? How do you cause these feelings to erupt inside me? Sometimes I wonder if I should hate you for it but I will never be able to hate you. I love you.

Forever Yours

C

I smile as I read the note, I can feel a blush forming on my cheeks. I've been receiving these notes for the past couple of months and have yet to figure out who C is. Whoever they are they're very sweet and I find I get butterflies in my stomach when I think of the possibility of meeting them.

The bell rings and I look up abruptly, cursing myself for getting distracted I grab my English text book and shove the note into my pocket as I slam my locker shut. I run the short distance to the lesson, hoping that the teacher is late as usual so I can sneak in without getting detention.

I'm not paying much attention to where I'm going and just as I reach the door I crash into someone and fall to the floor. "Ouch, watch it!" I look up at the voice and recognise Clove, she's sprawled out on the floor and rubbing the back of her head, her eyes screwed shut. It dawns on me that this is probably the first thing she's ever actually said to me.

"Erm sorry…" I say and she pauses, slowly opening her eyes. She stares at me with a startled expression on her face and I notice her dark eyes are actually a green colour. We stare at each other blankly for a few moments before her expression is replaced by its usual glare.

She stands abruptly and storms through the door as if she cannot stand to be in my presence. I shrug and follow her cautiously.

It looks like I'm out of luck today as I enter the room to find our teacher, Miss Coin, is on time for once. She glares at me, angered even more by the fact that two students are late. I suppress the urge to roll my eyes. Coin is almost always late, why are teachers such hypocrites?

We're both given detention after school, I notice Clove tense up and glare at the teacher. "That's bullshit." She growls folding her arms. He class looks on in interest, knowing that Clove is likely to create an entertaining scene that will save them from a few minutes of having to study Shakespeare.

"What did you say?" The older woman fumes, her lips forming a straight line as she stares at Clove challengingly.

"You're always late for class, I don't see anyone giving you detention." Clove remarks coolly, my lips twitch in amusement as I try to keep a straight face, Clove's got a point there. Suddenly the older woman is towering over Clove which is impressive considering Coin is one of the shortest teachers unfortunately for Clove, Clove is probably the shortest student and Coin is taller than her by a few inches.

"I am a teacher!" She snaps, Clove simply raises an eyebrow, keeping her cool while the old woman stands there fuming.

"And you're always late." Clove says calmly, her eyes gleaming with amusement. The teacher storms over to her desk and Clove smirks knowing she's won. I'm unable to keep the amused smile of my face Miss Coin is nobodies favourite teacher, she's unfair and easily angered, watching Clove get the better of her is always amusing.

Unfortunately when Coin turns around she sees my amusement. "And what's so funny?" She asks angrily. I take a step back.

"Nothing ma'am." I say, forcing the smile off my face. The woman strides over to me her eyes glistening evilly, she can see that I'm more easily intimidated than Clove.

"Oh is that so? Then perhaps you would like to explain why you were grinning in my class."

I shrug not knowing how to answer. My eyes drift over to Clove who's gone to sit at the back of the class and is watching the scene with a dark expression on her face. Probably relishing in my discomfort.

"Sorry ma'am." I say quickly.

"Take your seat." The woman hisses and I scurry to my seat next to my friend Gale. He gives me an amused look and subtlety elbows me. I roll my eyes and share a smile with him making sure that Coin doesn't notice.

"So why were you late?" Gale asks through a mouthful of burger, I pull a face in disgust. It's lunch time now and we're sitting in the cafeteria.

"God Gale, don't talk with your mouth full!" I exclaim chucking a napkin at him when I notice him spill ketchup down himself. "No one wants to see that." Why are guys so disgusting when it comes to food? I roll my eyes when Gale wipes the ketchup up and chucks the napkin back at me a playful grin on his face.

"You're not telling me why you were late." He grins lopsidedly. I turn away looking at my own burger. I know there's a blush on my face that is telling him the exact reason why I was late for Coin's lesson. "You get another note?" He asks, nudging me playfully.

I blush harder and take a bite of my burger, pointedly ignoring him. "Let's see then." He holds out a hand and I roll my eyes and I pull the note out of my pocket and place it in his hand.

"Don't get ketchup on it."

"Why? You still keeping all of them?" He laughs and makes a point of almost dipping the note into a dollop of ketchup. I lunge for the note.

"If you're going to mess it up you can give it back." I say causing him to laugh.

"Alright Catnip chill." He laughs, elbowing me, as he unfolds the note carefully. He takes a few moments to read the note. "Seriously is this guy for real?" He remarks shoving the note back into my hands.

"Maybe they're not a guy." I mutter hopefully and Gale rolls his eyes. I've never been that attracted to guys and it would be awkward I it turns out that C is a guy.

"Fine whatever…Who do think it is?" He asks his eyes scanning the cafeteria. I shrug and join him in surveying our surroundings. I pause when I spot Clove glaring at me from the corner, for god's sake what is her problem? I have literally never done anything to her why does she hate me so much?

I meet her eyes in irritation and she raises an eyebrow her eyes flicking to Gale before turning to her food. I notice she's alone as usual. No one ever wants to associate with Clove. Everyone's scared of her and for good reason.

My eyes find the cheerleaders table. The cheer squad is led by Glimmer and she rarely lets anyone that isn't in the cheer squad sit at that table. My eyes scan over the girls, taking note of their names. Only Cashmere has a name that starts with the letter C and I know she has a boyfriend so that rules her out for being my secret admirer.

I see the footballers Cato, Marvel, Brutus and Gloss. I shudder at the thought of my admirer being Cato, I think he's going out with Glimmer anyway so it can't be him. I'm glad of that ,I've heard Cato is the kind of guy who doesn't take no for an answer.

I continue surveying the cafeteria, looking closer at people whose name I know starts with C. Eventually I find that I rule everyone out. This has become a daily ritual for me. Trying to figure out who it is that writes those notes that and make my heart do a backflip when I read them and ruling everyone out

The next lesson I receive a detention slip telling me exactly when and where I will serve my detention for being late to English. I sigh when I see that I have to stay after school today for an hour.

The day passes quickly and I ask Gale to tell my mother where I am on his way home. It's mostly so my little sister won't be worried. My mother doesn't really care much where I am.

I stop by my locker on my way to the detention room to drop off my heavy books and I'm pleased to find another note has been poked into it. I glance at the clock and decide to read it after detention as I don't want to be late again.

There's only two other students in the room when I enter, including Clove who sits at the back of the room scowling at the ceiling. She glances at me when I enter and purses her lips in irritation. I sigh and turn to the teacher at the front of the room, I recognise him as Mr Abernathy, the alcoholic History teacher, holding up my detention slip in explanation as to why I'm here. He nods, putting a tick by my name on his list of people who are to attend detention and points to a seat in the back two chairs away from Clove.

I sit down where he told me to, purposely refusing to look at Clove, I can feel her eyes on me, I bite my lip and stare at my hands. Her constant glaring is starting to get to me. I hear a huff and chance a look at the girl, she turns away from me and glares at the teacher at the front of the room, her lips pursed, she looks like she's ready to kill someone.

A boy enters the room and tells the teacher his name. Once he's seated Abernathy stands. He pulls out a box of paper and starts handing out sheets. "Clove and Katniss will write the lines I will not be late for class 500 times. Johanna and will write an essay on why you must not start fights and Finnick will write the lines the school is not a place for physical intimacy 500 times." He instructs in a bored voice. "If anyone needs me I will be in my office, do not leave this room, no talking, you know the rules." He sighs and leaves.

I hesitantly pick up a pen and write the words I will not be late for class a couple of times. "You're not actually going to write those lines are you?" I look up to find an older girl with dark hair that has a red streak through it towering above me.

"Er…"

"You know it's not like they ever check whether you write what you're supposed to." She gives me a smirk and pulls out the chair in the desk in front of me and sits down facing me. "So why are you here, late for class? Seems a bit harsh."

"It was Coin's class." I tell her and she nods in understanding.

"Coin's a bitch." She states. I hear a snort beside me and glance at Clove.

"You can say that again." She says nodding towards the older girl.

"And why are you here Clove?"

Clove turns her glare to me "Same reason as her." She mutters before turning to the paper in front of her and scribbling a few things down, determinedly ignoring everyone else. The older girl sighs before turning to me.

"And that's all we'll get out of her for the rest of detention. I'm Johanna by the way, Johanna Mason." She smirks at me.

"Katniss Everdeen." I mumble unsurely.

"You know that's all she does when she's in detention." Johanna says nodding towards Clove, whose gripping her pen so tightly that her knuckles have turned white. "Just scribbles on that piece of paper, she sure as hell isn't writing those lines. Won't let anyone read it though, takes it with her, go figure." She shrugs sending me a grin.

I hear a laugh and a handsome boy approaches us sitting in the chair next to me. "Leave Clove alone Jo." He says, "Besides you ask the newcomer why she's here and forget to ask me, I'm insulted." He feigns a look of hurt and Johanna rolls her eyes.

"It's not like I have to guess Finnick, You get caught making out with Annie again?" She asks, leaning on my desk lazily.

"Of course." He sighs and slumps on the desk. "What about you? Who'd you beat up this time?"

"Oh just some footballer." She says shrugging, Finnick laughs.

"The one that's always trying to get with you?"

"Yep." She nods. "He won't be trying that anymore."

Finnick erupts in laughter. I watch awkwardly as the two interact, they obviously know each other quite well. My eyes drift over to Clove who is sitting completely still glaring at the piece of paper.

"So Clove what are you writing in these oh so frequent detentions?" Johana asks turning to the girl.

"Fuck off Johanna." Clove snarls and within moments Johanna is towering above her.

"Excuse me, I was just trying to bring you into the conversation." She says sarcastically. Clove glares up at her.

"And I said fuck off." Clove says clearly. I am shocked that Johanna is daring to pick fights with Clove. I've never seen anyone dare talk to Clove like that.

"Leave her alone Jo." Finnick sighs. "Must we go through this every detention?" He rolls his eyes turning to me. "Don't worry it always get close to a fight but they'd never actually fight here, too risky." His eyes flick to the door and I nod in understanding,

Briefly I wonder what would happen if a fight did break out, I've never seen Clove lose a fight and she gets into quite a few in the halls but Johanna seems to be the type that'd be able to take her.

"What if I don't want to leave her alone?" She leans in close to Clove. "What if I stay right here?" She smirks at the smaller girl whose hands are curling into fists.

"Then I might have to break your fucking nose." Clove growls dangerously. I know that tone it is always the tone she uses before beating the shit out of someone, no matter what Finnick has said I can feel a fight brewing under the surface.

"Oh yeah? I'd like to see you try."

Suddenly Clove has flown at Johanna her fist connecting with her cheek. She grabs the older girl by the scruff of the neck and pulls her face up close to hers. "Fuck off." She growls before releasing the girl and sitting back down.

"Johanna stop…" Finnick tries to placate Johanna but she's giving a feral grin and flings herself at Clove easily throwing her off the chair.

Before I know it a full-fledged fight had broken out. The girls seem to be evenly matched. If Johanna thought that Clove would be an easy target she was definitely mistaken. The two fight furiously and tables start to be thrown aside as the two throw punches at each other, some missing and some finding their mark. Johanna manages to get Clove in a headlock but she somehow manages to slip out of it.

"What is going on here?" I turn to the door and spot Abernathy glaring at us angrily, his eyes slightly bleary showing that he's probably been drinking. "I leave you with specific instructions and come back to this?" He growls grabbing Johanna and Clove by the scruffs of their necks and pulling them apart.

He shoves them towards their respective seats. "You two have just earned yourselves another detention and you Finnick, back to your assigned seat."

"Sorry sir." Finnick says giving the man a winning smile, probably hoping to make him calm down. The teacher simply glares at him as he takes a seat.

Clove huffs in irritation as she strides over to her seat, stopping only to pick up the piece of paper covered in writing that had been knocked onto the floor. "If I find you out of your seats again then you'll receive detention for the rest of your school careers." He growls before leaving the room.

"Heh, so you're not actually a bad fighter." Clove looks up when Johanna speaks holding her gaze as Johanna leans back in her seat nodding towards the smaller girl. "You've got guts Clove, I like that." She laughs and gets up crossing the room and sitting next to Finnick. Clove huffs again before picking up her pen and continuing to write.
