Hi, my first fanfic for THG I just love Cato/Katniss, honestly cannot get enough hahah!
"District 12? An 11 for the girl from District 12?" Clove was outraged, I could see it in her face, I knew her very well, she knew me very well
She knew me too well, she's like an annoying sister, as much as I would appreciate her support in the early days inside the arena, I'm looking forward to killing her, she's the only one who knows that I have emotions, that I am human, and I don't like that. Emotions make you appear weak.
"Relax, they're still from District 12, and they're still no threat" I said calmly as I got up and left
Truth was, I wasn't as calm as I appeared, I was worried
During our training sessions I'd been secretly filming the other tributes, our mentor said it would be a good idea, to get to know every single one of them
Personally, I didn't see the point in getting to know every single one of them, especially the small ones, they'd be easily killed in the bloodbath, however the threats, I did want to get to know – like the boy from District 11, and both of the tributes from 12
I watched some footage of the girl using the spears, she was athletic and knew what she was doing. She excelled in areas like survival skills, and she knew her way around a weapon, unlike the boy
They both stayed together, at lunch I sometimes watched the girl, she seemed uncomfortable around him, like he was the geeky kid at school and she didn't want to be seen with him, but he seemed to love being around her, he hung onto her every word and was always staring at her hair. I felt sorry for him because it was painfully obvious that he adored her, and that will only do him harm in the arena
I went to sleep, tomorrow was the interviews, and then we'd be heading into the arena, I needed my rest
KATNISS POV
We were all sat in a room waiting to be called up, one by one, for our interviews
Everyone looked their best, Glimmer, the girl from District 1, looked the best out of the girls, her blonde hair curled perfectly and her pink dress was flattering to her figure
I uncomfortably sat in my red dress, I knew Cinna had done his best to make me look good, but I wasn't used to this, back home people are judged on things like intelligence not looks, I had no idea how to make someone like me for only superficial reasons
I looked around the room and my eyes met with the boys from District 2, he was perfect, like the height of human evolution was him, for someone like him it's easy to make people like him, someone that looks like him will not struggle to find sponsors
They called him up for his interview, Cato, that name will not be soon forgotten
I watched his interview on the TV
"Cato, Cato, Cato. You my friend, have been causing quite the stir among the females out there"
"laughs Well what can I say"
"You can put them all out of their misery by saying, are you single? Or is there a special someone waiting for you back in District 2?"
"I'm single Caesar, although there is a lot of pretty girls here in the Capital winks"
"Any of the other tributes catch your eye?"
There was a long pause, and a sudden flash of emotion went across Cato's face
"Erm, Glimmer. Glimmer is very pretty"
"Why yes she is! Well, maybe something will hit off with you two inside the arena! Oh I do love a good Hunger Games romance!"
"Me too Caesar, makes it much more interesting!"
The interview came to an end and the girl from District 3 went up for her interview
Time almost flew by and then before I knew it I was being called up
"Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire" Caesar said as I sat down
"Hi" I said quite shyly
"You looked amazing in that fire suit, and you look just as amazing tonight!"
"Thank you" I smiled
"Now, you were the highest scoring tribute this year, how does that make you feel?"
"It makes me feel confident, confident in that I can do my best to win, and that I have a good shot at it"
"Wow, I love a girl with confidence!" Caesar smiled, and the crowd whooped
The interview finished and I came off
"Well done sweetheart" Haymitch said patting my head
"Hey, watch the hair!" Cinna said slapping Haymitch's hand "Well done Katniss, you were amazing!"
"Yes, very good!" Effie smiled
I smiled, and let out a sigh of relief, maybe now I'll get some sponsors
I looked over Effie's shoulder and saw Cato, he was staring at me, but it wasn't one of his usual deathly glares, he was smiling? Albeit an extremely small smile, but it was there, the small curvature of the lips signified it
It was only for a micro-second, and then like he realised he'd been smiling, he reverted back to his deathly stare
I felt the stare of Glimmer's eyes on me and as I turned around she was staring at me and Cato, she shot me an evil look and smiled at Cato. He broke is stare from me and turned to nod approvingly at Glimmer
What had just happened?
Tomorrow I'm going to be thrown into arena with all these people, and we'll have to fight to the death, I promised myself I wouldn't get dragged into all the politics and stupid drama, I promised Prim that I would come home
Okay, any ideas or anything just let me know! :-) x x
