Chapter 21

Clovers POV

We walk back to our dorms, trying to miss all the crowds who are doing the same thing as us. We are the youngest in the school so many people are much taller than us.

The competition isn't until tomorrow but today will be jammed packed with decorating our costumes and training. I've also got to learn how to hide my powers from the school while the competition goes on. That's the main thing I'm anxious about.

"Clover, you ok? You look a bit, nervous." Olive links arms with me, feeling how worried I am about tomorrow. I force a smile.

"Yea, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." I say and she squeezes my arm. "Anyway, if I were you, I would be really excited for the swimming competition your in!" I try and change the subject. Her eyes light up at the word swimming.

"Yea, I am! I'm going to call my mom up at some point and find out from her what is the fastest swimming technique I can use to help me win!" She shouts and throws her fist up in the air. I grin at her.

"Is your mum a good swimmer then?" I ask and she gasps at me.

"She's not only good, she's amazing! She won 2 Gold medals at the past two Olympics. She wasn't allowed to use her powers though as she had to go under cover but she still won!" Olive says with true excitement in her voice.

"I guess she will be a great help then! I would love to go into the human world and visit those countries." I dream.

"Well guess who got to watch her get those medals? Me!" Olive says and my mouth drops. That means she must've visited London and Rio.

We finally get to our dorm and I open the door. Tiffany, Mia, and Rebecca must've not arrived yet as there's no one in the room. Olive bounces in, still very hyper from the last conversation and Robyn trails in after her.

"Should we start practicing then?" I say and Robyn nods her head in agreement. Robyn told me she signed up for the dancing competition so I'm really excited to see her perform. 

"How are you going to practice Clover? You signed up for the Hearing didn't you?" Robyn says quietly. I think for a moment.

"Maybe you two could make sounds in the room and I have to try and locate where it is? I haven't been told what we're doing yet." I come up with and they both seem to like my idea. The door opens to Tiffany, Mia, and Rebecca.

"So, what did you guys sign up for?" Rebecca asks us while her friends walk off to their beds. I kinda feel sorry for her because she's actually really nice but she's made friends with the wrong people.

"I signed up for Hearing, Olive signed up for Swimming and Robyn signed up dancing. What about you?" I say kindly.

"I signed up for Swimming too, Mia signed up for Hunting ( attacking ) and Tiffany signed up for Burning. I guess I will be against Olive." She says. Olive looks up from her phone.

"Make the best swimmer win!" Olive shouts, throwing her fist up in the air again. Rebecca copies her and they both go into fits of giggles. Rebecca looks over towards her friends and waves us goodbye and joins them.

"Oh hey mum! Omg something amazing is happening tomorrow!" I hear Olive say into her phone as she finally gets hold of her mum. I never realised how much Olive enjoys swimming.

I watch Robyn nervously pace around the room, muttering words in her head and covering her wrists. Her eyes stay looking down at the floor. "Robyn, are you ok?" I ask and she looks up. The other girls watch her as well. Fear flashes through her eyes, not like the fear you get before a competition.

"Y-Yea. I'm a bit scared, that's all." She stutters and places herself down on the bed. Her hands shake and her breathing is quick like she had just been on a run. I sit down on the bed beside her and she looks up at me.

"You sure you're alright?" I ask and she nods her head. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door and a Six Former opens it. He carries a massive box full of clothes. He drops the box on the floor and regains his breath.

After a while, he straightens his back and gets a piece of paper out of his pocket. He reads the note out loud. "Dear students, these costumes will be the ones that you will be wearing in the competition. You may sew things onto them but not anything rude or offensive. I hope you enjoy them."

The Six Former takes out one costume and reads a tag on it. "Olive for Swimming, this one is yours." He says and Olive eyes lights up. She runs towards him and takes the costume out of his hand. She looks at it in amazement. He calls out everyone else's names until everyone has a costume.

"I wish you luck in your competition!" He says and then exits the room. Everyone is silent for a while, waiting for the first person to talk. I decide I will speak first.

"Does anyone have a sewing kit?" I ask.

"I do! I'll get it out!" Olive says and she digs into the suitcase under her bed. She takes out a green, small bag and then opens it. Robyn and I crowd around her, wanting to see what's in it.

Many needles are in a small little bag and next to it is colored thread. There are 15 different colour thread, with every colour of the rainbow. There are also other things in the sewing kit that I don't recognise.

"Could we use some of your things in the sewing kit Olive?" I ask.

"Of course! You didn't even have to ask!" Olive says and hands each of us a mini needle. She looks towards the other girls and then gets up to hand them a needle.

"Oh, thanks Olive," Tiffany says as Olive hands her one. Rebecca smiles at Olive and then looks at the mini needle.

I look at the different colored thread and try to decide which one to use. I finally go for a light red colour. Robyn chooses a green colour and Olive goes for a blue colour.

I hold up my costume and think what to sew onto it. I think of doing a C for Clover with a heart in the middle of the C. My costume is mostly black like everyone else's with a silver strip going down the middle. It's kinda like the costume they wore in the movie Hunger Games. (The picture is at the top of the chapter)

"Are we supposed to put our own colour to our costumes?" I ask.

"I think so. I'm going to try and make mine blue. Like the ocean. I got a tip from my mum on how to win the competition so I'm going to make my costume match!" She says and inserts the needle into the fabric.

I look down at mine and start to sew. The room goes silent while everyone focuses on their sewing. And we continue sewing until we have to go to sleep.....
