They are reaped for the Games and meet the other Careers. Clove strikes up a quick friendship with Glimmer who has a crush on Cato who flirts back, but everything isn't smooth sailing. kk now enjoy!
I was talking to Glim when she blurted out "I think I might like Cato." My heart broke into twelve million pieces and I had no clue why, why did it matter that My best friend was in love with the boy I grew up with and had a close friendship with. We knew each other better than the other knows them. But I didn't want to break my friendship with Glimmer, the pretty blonde haired, greened eyes beauty from 1. What was so special about me? I had brown hair, brown eyes and stupid freckles all over my pale face. Why would an, admittedly, beautiful, blonde blue eyed, tall, boy ever look at me? Cato and me had always been good friends. We trained together and spent all our breaks together with our other friends. I was NOT jealous. He was just a friend.
"Uhhh, and why are you telling me this?" I replied
She laughed, "Because you're my best friend here!" She bit her lip "Can you keep a secret?"
"Maybe" I replied smiling a little. We laughed together for a moment then went back to training. Glimmer picked up a bow and arrow; she was good, but still not as good as that girl from 12. Clove was always into her knives and attacked the dummies with such ferocity that she almost cut into Cato's face when he came up to her and said "Nice Job Clove."
"God Cato you scared me," I said while putting the knife into my pocket. "Train with me?" he asked
"Sure" I replied. We went through the dummies and watching both our backs destroyed all of them in less than 20 seconds. I smiled and hugged him "That was awesome!"
"Yeah, I never realized that I work better with you than alone" he laughed.
"Oh c'mon! We've been training together for years!" I could almost feel Glimmer sizing me up as me and Cato talked. He looked briefly back at Glimmer and i knew exactly what he was thinking, make Glimmer Jealous. Cato was what you call a heartbreaker. He loved breaking girls hearts, he did it all of the time at home. He never did it to me though he used me in his plots a lot. One day I knew one of us would take it too far and I was sick of being his pawn but went along with it nonetheless. He began to flirt mercilessly with me. He leaned against the wall and put his arm up in just a way to show off his bursting muscles.
"That was wonderful what you did with those knives, Clove" He said in a stage whisper seductively. I would never tell anyone, not even myself, but i loved the way he said my name. This was one of the only reasons i went along with his plots. I loved the attention, I know id never get from any other boy, that he provided me, even if it was fake. He made me feel special, like i was beautiful. Then I'd remember that he was just saying words and not actually meaning them. I flirted back not missing a beat.
"Ya well your a god with a sword Cato" it was the same old routine, same words like Déjà Vu. He smiled and got closer to me and spoke in a soft seductive voice again
"I could swim in your eyes all day, they're like pools of chocolate" I giggled the same way id always done, but i saw a difference in Cato's eyes, they were softer, more meaning what he was saying. We went back and forth for it seemed like minutes, never breaking eye contact. I knew something was going on. He got closer and closer. Then all of a sudden he leapt up and turned around embarrassed walked to Marvel and began to talk to him. i felt myself become disappointed. I shook that though out of my head, no, he was just a friend, or was he? I shook those thoughts out of my head at once. I noticed then that Glimmer was watching me slightly confused.
"Y-You guys are a couple?" She asked half amused half shocked and disappointed.
"No, no definitely not! Were just good friends, nothing more will ever come from that" I just realized that my words had carried throughout the entire training center. I looked at Cato but he looked away. I looked down and heard Glimmers exhale "Good" she began to laugh. I heard a large noise and looked up to see Cato attacking every dummy with his sword. He was angry and out of control. Peace Keepers came in but he fought them off and stormed off to the male restroom. I looked back at Glimmer who seemed to not notice. She seemed to be talking but I wasn't listening. I went back to practicing and wondering what was going on with Cato.
