First Time Post, No Mean Comments Plz!
In The Capital before the Games begin.
"hey Katniss wait up" I yelled down the hall
"huh? Oh hey Cato what do you want" she said uninterested in the conversation
"hey I just wanted to tell you that when I win the games there's no hard feelings" I say, out of breath.
"So what are you telling me for? I'll be dead so how are their no hard feelings?" She said raising a brow at me
"because, I know you and Peeta are a power couple and all and he declared his love to you but…I wanted you to know that I love-"
"Hey Katniss" Peeta yelled down the opposite hall
"Oh hey Peeta" she said as her eyes ricochet across the room.
"what do you want Cato?" Peeta said crossing his arms.
"Just to warn your little girlfriend here that I'm not going easy on her in the arena. What's it to ya?"
"You leave Katniss alone." he said as his face turned red as blood.
"What are you gonna do about it…pretty boy?" I say looking as dominant as possible.
"Hey guys calm down…We'll see you in the arena Cato." she says pushing me away
"Whatever!" I say marching down the hall in anger. Who does this Peeta boy think he is. Who the hell names their kid after bread. I'm Cato Hadley, the male career tribute of District 2. Who are they, District 12 wannabe's.
The next morning I wake up and we are having a group feast. Every tribute of every district is required to attend.
"Good Morning tributes, I trust you got a goodnight's rest and is ready to start the day" said president snow with a smirk.
I go to sit in the seat next to Katniss when all of a sudden…Peeta shows up and takes the seat. Can't sit next to Clove because she's flirting with that district 1 boy Marvel. Only seat left is between Peeta and Thresh.
As we eat I can feel my fellow tributes eying me like a hawk. As if I were about to strike.
"What the hell are you looking at" I snap "there is nothing going on over here" and instantly everyone's eyes look away.
I can here the light chatter amongst the tributes. "I love you…a lot" I hear Peeta say to Katniss. Pretty loud, as if he wanted me to hear him. "ok, I love you too…" I hear Katniss reply, as if unsure of her response.
I bang my head three times against the table bored, tired, irritated ready to lash out at everyone.
"CATO! What is wrong with you" Clove yells across the table"
"you know what Clove, I don't think it matters whats wrong with me. Am I disrupting your beautiful little paradise going on over there." I say sarcastically.
"All right tributes that's enough, breakfast is over. Time for training" said President Snow.
As we are training we all look over at Peeta. He looks like bait to get Katniss. It's the perfect plan. While we are doing our warm up, Peeta bumps me.
"hey watch it you little freak" He says shoving me.
"Who the hell do you think you are you little fuck! Stay out of my way" I yell with my face red, fist balled and my toughest look on my face. Peeta and I are now face to face, his light blue eyes looking into my dark blue ones. I'm frozen, then, I make my move. To be continued…
