Katniss POV:

"Katniss how was your first day at school?" Prim says as she's running down the stairs.

"Prim, it's not like it's my first day of high school, I'm a sophomore I went there last year too." I yell at her. I feel bad though, she is my little sister and she just wanted to know how my day went. "It was good though" I smile so she won't get mad.

"That's good." She says as she's skipping into the other room. Finally I get to just sit, relax, and be alone. Then I hear my phone vibrate in my bag.

"Ugh." I say as I get off the couch and head over to my bag. It's Clove.

Clove: "Hey want to come over? Everyone's going to be there!"

Me: "Sure, when?"

Clove: "Um. 10 minutes?"

Me: "K. ill be there soon."


*Ding-Dong* I open the door not waiting for her to come and open it. This is like my second home.

"Hey Katniss you're here!" she says walking to the door holding hands with Peeta. I wish that could be me and Cato, and we could be the most adorable couple in school. Wait, what am I saying? He's my best guy friend; I definitely don't want to ruin it!

"Hey." Is all I manage to say. I'm too busy thinking about Cato to say anything more. Who am I kidding he's like the most popular guy in school he would never date me. He'd end up dating the head cheerleader Glimmer. Or at least someone like that.

Then Cato, Madge and Marvel come in. Madge and Marvel are holding hands making it so Cato and I are the only ones who aren't. Could this get any more awkward? "You guys want to watch a movie?" Madge says breaking our silence.

"Sure." We all say and walk over to Clove's living room.

We pick out a movie, and of course it has to be a romance according to Clove. Then Clove and Peeta sit down on the couch and he puts her arm around her while she lays her head on his chest. Marvel and Madge do the same thing leaving me and Cato standing in the middle of the living room.

"I'm going to go make some popcorn." I say walking to the kitchen hoping this well get less awkward.

I can barely hear Cato but I think he says "Me to." Turns out I was right because next thing I know Cato is right behind me getting a bowl from the cabinet. I walk over to the pantry and get the popcorn then I put it in the microwave.

When it's done popping Cato comes over with the bowl and I can't help but notice how close he is to me. His face is only about an inch away from mine. I'm so temped to lean into his soft warm inviting lips. I need to snap out of it!

He's my friend, just my friend.

I take the bowl from him and turn away knowing if I stare into his soft blue eyes any longer, I will end up doing something stupid like kissing him.

"Do you want any butter on it Kat?" I love the way he says Kat, it sounds so cute. What am I thinking? Just answer his question!

"Uh. Sure." I tell him and take the butter from his hands.

This is going to be an awkward night.
