This is ALL in Cato's POV because I didn't know if I should've done it in Clove's...

I tossed and turned. It was a stormy night. Just like almost every other night. But this was a night I wanted to last. Tomorrow was my first day of training. Yes, training. Her in District 2, we train once we're 12, just in case the odds aren't in our favor, and we get reaped, or chosen to fight to death, however you want to call it. But now, I'm afraid.

It's not my first year going to this school. I'm 16 now. But I have this odd feeling, as if I was not coming back to this Training Academy ever again. But I can't think like that now. Suddenly, I wake up.

"What happened?" I ask myself. I guess to much thinking made me sleepy. I heard a small voice next to me. My sister. She was only 11, and I loved her.

"Mom says it's getting late. You should probably get ready for your first day of training today." she says. I look into her eyes. Sadness. That's all I see, before my mom comes upstairs and gets me out of bed.

"HURRY UP, CATO! IT'S YOUR FIRST DAY OF TRAINING AND YOU'RE ALREADY GOING TO MAKE A BAD IMPRESSION SHOWING UP LATE!" she screams.

My mom never cares about me. She only cares about herself. She probably won' even care if I get reaped this year. There was only one thing I was looking forward to. And it was a girl.

I walked outside. It was cold, but I didn't mind. I just wanted to get to the Training Academy to see her beautiful face. Her braid, the freckles on her face, her dark hair, everything was perfect about her. I couldn't wait, so I walked faster.

"Hi, Cato!" I heard someone giggle behind me. I turned around and saw a girl named Trish. Blonde hair, blue eyes, just like me.

"Hi, Trish." I said politely.

"Well, you look like you're in a hurry!" she said, catching up to me. I shrugged. She didn't need to know why I was walking fast. She started talking about how her friends wanted her to ask me out, and how she thought we were a perfect couple, since we had the same characteristics.

"Sorry. I cant." I said. Trish stopped me right in front of the Academy.

"Of course you can, Cato! You and I are perfect for each other! I'm the most popular girl, and you the most popular boy! It will work out."
I got out of Trish's grip.

"Whatever." I say
I walked into the doors of the District 2 Training Academy. I went to the office and picked up my schedule. Swords. My first class. I was excited, since swords was my specialty.

"Piece of cake." I thought to myself. I entered the room and saw her. 5'4", dark hair, looking beautiful.

"Everyone! Shut your mouths and listen! You are here to be trained, not to be messing around! The reaping is in less than 1 month, and you ALL have to be ready!" yells Mr. Drew. "Everybody, get in a straight line! You will be picking a piece of paper from this hat, and that person shall be your partner. UNDERSTOOD?"

I was only hoping for one thing. To be partnered up with her.
