Clove's POV

Beeeeeep

My alarm went off bright and early. Today's the first day of my junior year. Sadly, I won't be attending Capitol Academy this year cause I had to move half way across the state to New Jersey. This year, I'll be entering Panem High, which is luckily just a few blocks away from the house my dad recently bought.

"Time to face reality, Clove. You won't be going back to California anytime soon."

Sighing, I got ready for school.

Once I was done, I headed down to the kitchen to get breakfast that smelled oh so divine.

"That smells great, mom!"

"Thank you, dear! I made your favorite since I know it's a big day!"

My mom's the best. I honestly don't know what I'd do without her.

"Where's dad?" I asked, noticing he wasn't at the table yet.

"He said he had to finish something first but he'll be down in a minute." She answered, still concentrating on making the perfect pancakes.

I heard someone heading down the stairs and knew instantly that it was my sister, Madeline. She tended to stomp around whenever she makes her way down the stairs.

"Beautiful day out, isn't it?" she said, sitting next to me, looking out the window while idly grabbing the plate of pancakes and bacon that was in front of her.

"Sure is. I hope that means luck is on our side today."

"I'm sure you'll both be fine. Now stop worrying and just dig in!" Mom ordered.

Seeing as I didn't' have a license yet, Maddie had to drop me off first before heading to NYU.

This school was huge. I seriously hoped I wouldn't get lost.

That was a given though. Obviously, with a school like this, it's impossible to not get lost on your first day. By the time I made it to the office where I was supposed to get my schedule, it was already quarter past 8. I only had fifteen minutes before first period.

"Hi. My name's Clove Kentwell."

"Ah. You're the new girl. I was wondering when you'd arrive. Well, seeing as you don't have much time left before the bell goes off, let Jackie show you around."

As if on que, on a red head stood from her seat and smiled at me.

"Hi I'm Jacqueline Finch but you can call me Jackie."

"It's nice to meet you, Jackie. I'm Clove." I said, accepting her outstretched hand and shaking it.

"We don't have much time left so we better get going. What's your first class?"

"Umm," I said, looking at my schedule. "History with Mr. Abernathy."

"That's great! We have the same class! C'mon! It's this way!" she sounds way too excited for the first day.

The day seemed to have zipped by fast. Before I knew it, it was time for lunch. Despite how quick it seemed to have come, I was starving. That was when I noticed them.

AN: And that's the first chapter! This is my first multi-chapter fic so hope you like it! Reviews are love :)
