The flashing red and white lights beamed all over the place, and the trace of vodka never left the musty, sweaty room.
Summer was in the air, and with summer break, comes summer gossip,
with only a month before school reopened, everyone was back from vacationing and that's the only thing they're talk about.
It was a Sunday night like any other; everyone was out with their friends, having a good time, enjoying their summer.
Cato, Finnick and Peeta decided to hit the clubs that night, not realizing what a headache that would be.
They walked up to the bar and took a seat.
"So where's Katniss?" Finnish asked Peeta.
That was the beginning of the list of flings the boys were going to discuss that night.
As much as they tried to deny it, they liked chattering about 'who, what, when, where and why' as much as the girls.
Katniss and Peeta had what everyone called 'a perfect summer fling'.
They grew so close over the month they coincidently spent together in Puerto Rico, and it was finally time for their friends to spend a little time together.
"I have no clue! She said she'd be here!" exclaimed going on his tippy toes and shoving through crowds trying to find her.
Cato sat at the bar sipping on his ginger ale, Cato had had a slight drinking problem in the past, but he'd been sober for a month now and he was proud.
"Dude," Cato laughed squinting his eyes.
"I think that's her," he continued as he pointed at a braid of chestnut brown hair swaying.
Next to her though, was what really caught his eye.
Peeta had told him about this girl.
She was short, but this time she was wearing four-inch red pumps that clinked across the marble dance floor as she glided to the loud thumping of the beat.
Her long wavy hair was pitch black and was messy but looked ever so stunning.
Her torso swayed back and forth and finally gave Cato a full view of her chalky, freckled face and intense green eyes.
"Yep, come on, lets go say hi!" Peeta said motioning for the boys to follow him. The three walked coolly towards the girls on the dance floor.
Annie, Clove and Katniss go to Lake Tahoe High, a private school 20 kms away from here.
"Kat!" Peeta yelled so she could hear him through the crowd.
"Hey!" she yelled turning around and embracing him in a hug and a make out session the other four had no idea would last a full fifteen minutes.
After a sufficient amount of time the rest realized that they weren't coming up for air and decided to get on with the night.
"Cato," he said letting out his hand waiting for someone to shake it.
"Annie," Annie replied smiling and shaking Cato's hand. She had to be the prettiest of the lot.
She had long light brown hair that swayed around her waist. She was at least 5'8 and had brown eyes warmer than a summer's day in the tropics.
"Finnick, Finnick Odair." Finnick said extending his arm and smirking. Annie shook it slightly confused.
"Who's your friend?" Cato asked looking at Clove who was dancing with a tall muscular guy who had literally popped up out of nowhere.
"Clove!" she pulled Clove away from the guy.
"This is Clove." Annie said as Clove took another sip of her vodka.
She smirked at the boys before going back to dancing.
"Sorry, she's kind of like that, but once you get to know her she really is a lot of fun!" Annie smiled.
The two nodded.
"Would you like to dance?" Finn asked Annie.
Cato chuckled at how Finn was so distracted that he didn't notice that he wasn't in a ballroom,
he was in a club, and you don't ask someone to dance in a club, you just do it.
"Sure," Annie laughed and grabbed his hand.
And then Cato made a revelation that was clear to anyone with eyes, that he was utterly alone.
He sat on the bar stool and took a sip of the ginger ale he left unattended, and that's when she came up to him.
"Hey!" he smiled at the green-eyed girl. She nodded her head in recognition.
Her hair was puffed on the side and her mascara smudged at the corners of her eyes.
She wore a loose black crop top with grey shorts and fishnet tights. "
You seen Katniss?" she asked bluntly. Her voice was sweet; it could have been sweet if she wanted it too.
But instead it came out manipulative and nasty.
"Yeah, she's over there with Peeta." Cato replied pointing at the couple grinding on the dance floor.
Clove snorted before she started sipping her empty glass.
"Can I buy you a drink?" he asked.
She looked at him for a minute, smirking as her green eyes looked into his blue ones.
"I'm fine," she replied before walking off onto the floor her heels making it very prominent.
And Cato sat there still utterly alone.
Finn had ditched him to go dance with Annie and Peeta and Kat were god knows where doing god knows what.
"Come on! We should go," Peeta said rallying up the boys so that they could leave.
"Where is Kat?" Finn asked.
"She's outside with Annie and Clove," he replied walking out the door the two following behind him.
Cato watched carefully as the girl with the raven hair blew puffs of smoke out of her red full lips.
Her vibrant nails matched her mouth and held a tight grip around the cigarette.
There was a flash of sight between the humid air, the loud voices and the smoke clouds
where Cato managed to get a good sight of Clove,
and it wasn't pretty.
In that one second, he got an obstructive view of the girl throwing up into one of the nearby plants,
with her hair in one hand and the cigarette in the other.
The boys got into Finns car and drove home.
"Dude, she's fifteen!" Cato exclaimed looking at Clove through the window as they slowly drove away.
Clove, after throwing up was still blowing smoke.
"Yeah, she doesn't have the prettiest of stories," Peeta replied.
"Tell me," he said.
And then Finn and Cato listened carefully to what he was saying.
