I do not own the hunger games and the characters inside it.
Cato
"Cato you're going to be late for the reaping," my mom says. I put on some nice looking cloth and went downstairs for breakfast. "Brother are you sure you're going to volunteer," Maria my sister said. "You bet I am and I`m going to win this thing like a piece of cake," I said. "But you might lose," she says. "Well no one can beat your big brother right," I say as I think of Clove and how she could`ve taken me down if one of the knifes hit me. I took her down yesterday it`ll be a piece of cake I thought. I knew it wasn`t a piece of cake and deep down inside I knew I couldn`t kill her. Her bright blue eyes are so pretty and her hair… I need to stop thinking about her I thought. I`m not falling for her me no way. After breakfast we walked to the reaping. I saw Clove and I ran to her. "So you're still going to in the games," she says looking at the ground. "Yeah and I`m going to win." "Ok everyone," says Lysander. "We shall now choose a handsome young man to represent us for the hunger games," he shouted. He put his hand in a big jar and pulled out a slip. "James Holloway," he says. "I volunteer as tribute" I say quickly. "Thank-you so much," he says. "No problem," I say back.
"Now for the girls" Lysander says "Clove Cleverwood." Please someone volunteer as tribute please I thought. Anyone but her I would be fine with, please. No one said anything. As she came up I could tell she didn`t want to be reaped. "Presenting our tributes for our 74th annual Hunger Games Cato Wood and Clove Cleverwood," he says as the crowd roars. She grips my hand tightly and I grip hers back. I knew from that point on I wouldn`t win because I couldn`t kill her. "Promise me you`d win," Maria said. "I promise," I lied. I knew that I couldn`t kill Clove and had to get her to kill me.
I went to Clove after the reaping and said, "I`m sorry." "For what," Clove said sadly. "For volunteering when you were going to be picked," I said. "We didn't know," Clove looks at the ground sadly. "I guess the odds aren't in our favor is it Clove." "Guess not." "Everyone fears us Clove we can defeat anyone we want," I say. " you don't get it there's 24 of us and only one of us comes out," she says as she starts crying in my chest. "That means only one of us is coming out Cato and it`s you." "It`s going to be you Clove." "NO CATO." I knew I couldn't` argue her out of this one so I pretend. "Ok I`ll live, ok" I lie. "Thank-you" she sobs. We said good bye to our families and went on the train.
