Panem High part 2

Chapter 2: The Tutors
"DAMMIT BOY! HOW COME YOU CAN'T BE MORE LIKE YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER? TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT THE MARVEL BECAUSE THE 2 OF THEM ARE DESTINED FOR SUCCSESS AND YOU'RE DESTINED FOR FAILURE!" Marvel, Gloss and Cashmere's mother screeched at the youngest King child. Marvel's eyes were focused on the floor, he couldn't look up into her angry, disapointed face.

"Gloss, Cashmere, how do you think we should go about this problem?" The father of the family, Trenton King asked the Twins who were giggling nearbye.

"Get him a tutor!'' Gloss blurted out as a joke and Cashmere laughed along with him.

Instead of laughing like his childern, looked completely serious. "That's a great idea!"

Cashmere, Gloss, Marvel and 's heads all snapped up, eyes wide and confused. "What?" Mrs. King asked.

"If Marvel is failing his classes then we should get him a tutor to help him study and graduate, I want all three of you childern out of the house within the next 3 years thanks." Mr King said, walking over to the wall phone to call the school-board.

"Foxface?" Marvel asked hopefully.

"No! If it was her you two wouldn't be studying, instead you'd be giggling and prank-calling your siblings and their friends!" barked,"It should be a boy and not your friend Thresh, I don't like him. That way you won't get sexually attracted to them and the only thing you two can do is study!"

"Oh Father no! Please! Me and Foxface will study!" Marvel begged, he didn't like talking to the people his parents 'approved' him to socalize with. Most likely this tutor would be another annoying stick-in-the-mud.

"My mind is made up Marvel, I'm scheduling you a tutor to start tommarrow after school. Now I suggest that you go to bed or else." His father raised an eyebrow to intimadate his son and it worked.

Marvel nodded a 'good night' and ran upstairs to the 3rd floor of the mansion where his room was located. It was probablly the only thing Marvel liked about being home, his room. The only other rooms this high-up were the servant's courters, The library, two bathrooms(one of which was only axesible through Marvel's bedroom) and a TV room which was hardly used by anyone except the servants and Marvel himself.

The teenager's own room was pretty amazing itself, it was large and spacious with a high-ceiling and a set of large glass doors that lead out onto a gigantic balcony with a hot-tub and comfy loungers. Inside the walls were painted a light shade of red, covered in posters for movies and bands and the floors were hard-wood. Marvel's huge king-sized bed was in the left corner of the room, a gorgeous night-stand was beside it with an amazing lamp that was imported from China on it. At the foot of the bed was a custom made wooden chest that held all his books(Marvel loved to read and collect rare books). Resting up against the wall was wardrobe painted Marvel's favorite color, True-Blue and not too far from that was a desk imported straight from Italy. On the desk was his computer, a text-books and some photos of himself, Thresh and Foxface. Across the room was the large flat-screen and beside it was a large DVD and VHS movie display, an olive green couch sat in front of the tv with Marvel's favorite hoodie on one of the cushions.

Sighing loudly Marvel flopped down on his bed, not bothering to undress himself. He was a prince, and he lived in a palace so then why did he feel like a prisioner?

"WE'RE HOME MA!" Katniss shouted up the stairs to her mother as she, Peeta and her little sister Primrose came inside and took their boots off on the matt.

Mrs. Everdeen came to the top of the stairs to see them and smiled,"Hello kids! Have a good day at school?"

"Yeah! Me, Rory and Vick ate lunch in the woods and spent recess catching snakes and frogs in the river!" Prim smiled and set her kit-bag down on a nearbye bench.

"Ate lunch with Cato and Clove, made Cato look like an idoit infront of his crush and got to make pretzles in cooking class!" Peeta smiled up at his aunt warmly. It was no secret that Peeta loved to cook and always brightened his mood.

"Me and Gale got in trouble, nothing new but-." Katniss grinned,"-I'm thinking of setting him up into a relationship."

"Really honey? Neat, someone nice and sweet is just what Gale needs to brighten his spirits." Mrs. Everdeen chuckled, came downstairs and pulled the three kids into a bear-hug.

"Yeah the only problem is I don't know Gale's type." Katniss said as she wiggled herself free.

"Well, I invited The Hawthrones to dinner tonight so you can just ask him then." Mrs Everdeen said as she walked into the kitchen to start making dinner, completely aware that her three charges were following.

"I can't just ask Gale what type he is! Then it'll look like I like him!" Katniss protested, hopping up to sit ont he middle of the island.

"Don't you?" Prim asked, copying her older sister and hopping up beside her.

"I'm gay Prim." Katniss said as if it were common knowledge. Prim only said a soft 'Oh yeah' and looked at her feet.

"Anything else new?" Mrs Everdeen asked as she gathered up the stuff to make her famous beef stu.

"Gloss and Cashmere are heads of the prom planning commitee again and they've already announced this year's theme. It's Hollwood/Celebritity themed so we have to show up looking like stars on the red-carpet and we have to pick a celebritity to pretend to be for the whole night." Katniss hissed,"It's the stupidest prom idea since our Semi-prom and the theme was aliens!"

Peeta smiled abit,"I never went to the semi-prom at my old school."

"Oh but I thought you liked dances Peeta." Miss Everdeen said getting a pot out from the cupboard.

"No guys asked me and I kept getting depressed when I saw all the happy couples." Peeta looked down at his socked-feet to avoid having to look at his aunt or cousins.

Katniss sighed,"I'll try and set you up after I get Gale in a stable relationship...I'm becoming a dating service I am."

Prim, Mrs. Everdeen and Peeta had to laugh at that.

"Hey Kit-Cat, what you get for number six?" Glimmer asked as she chewed on the end of her pencil.

"-42." Cato said as he rolled his eyes. Don't get him wrong, he loved hanging out with Glimmer and Clove but when they did their homework together he did most of the work.

"That's what I thought." Glimmer smiled showing off her pearly white teeth as she wrote the answer in.

The three of them were at Cato's, Peeta was supposed to be there with them but his aunt was having company for dinner and he had to cancel. Glimmer was hanging upside down off of her bestfriend's bed, Clove was lying on her side with her lower back under said bed and Cato was lounged out in his arm-chair.

"Yeah, Yeah." Clove said sarcasticlly,"What's the capital of Canada?"

"Ontario." Cato said as he continued to work on his English project,"Seriously girls you're going to need to learn how to do this by yourselves one day."

There was a soft knocking at the door and Cato got up to answer it,"Yeah Mom?"

Mrs. Slayton was a tall, middle-aged woman with her son's dreamy eyes and a round-face. She had long, flat, raven colored hair and dressed like a classic mother, light red dress, black slip-on shoes and a white apron tied around her waist. Now, Dont' misunderstand this but sometimes Cato really disliked his mother. Ever since his father died she became over-protective, alittle crazy and really embrassing but that was only because her son was her entire world.

"Phone call honey." She said handed him the phone and smiling at Clove and Glimmer,"Hi girls."

"Hello Mrs.S."

"Hey "

"Hello?" Cato asked into the phone.

"Is this Cato Slayton?" Cato reconised the voice, it was principal Snow!

"Yeah, why?" Cato asked.

"Well you see , I got a concerned call from requesting that I find his youngest son a tutor. Since you've been on the honor-role since coming to this school and after talking to many of your teachers we've decided on you." Snow explained.

"And why would I want to take this job?" Cato asked.

"You'll be paid top dollar, allowed to skip period 2 on Monday, period 6 on Tuesday and Friday, period 4 on Wednesday and period 5 on Thursday plus you'll be spending alot of one-on-one time with young Marvel King." Snow coaxed.

Upon hearing his crush's name Cato almost dropped the phone,"Ma-Marvel King? The kid in 1A?"

"Yes and I'm sure that by tutoring him you'll make a good impression on Mr. and and will by able to get very VERY close to young miss Cashmere." Snow really didn't need to add that. Principal Snow had Cato at yes.
