We were both fighting for dominance. I eventually won out. I was punching him in the face. Then immediately he turned me over and was on top. Before he could punch me a man came up and pulled him off.

"Cato, what did I tell you? Keep yourself in check. Hold in your rage." The man said

"But….."Cato started.

"No ands, ifs, or buts Cato." The man said.

They walked away. Cato grumbled under his breath. As soon as they left my dad came. By the look on his face I knew I was in trouble.

"Katniss! What were you thinking? You should be ashamed of yourself." He looked very disappointed.

I used the best trick in my book. The innocent little girl card. You know the, I'm sorry daddy I will never do it again thing. Yeah that. I told him what happened and he explained that Cato, I think that is what it is, is from another district and isn't so welcoming over outlying districts. I was curios. So I asked why and my dad said I will tell you when you get older. I kinda found out way before that though.

The next day I searched the whole town. It was early so the "visitors" won't be leaving soon. I saw Cato exploring. He had a look of disgust on his face. I know my home is not that beautiful but it is not that bad.

"I know you are watching me." He said.

"Why do you hate my district?" I asked

"You people here are slum! You live with a fine layer of coal dust coating your skin. You are pitiful mistakes for humans. Your lives are not needed in this world!"

I pulled my fist back ready to punch when I heard something I didn't think I would hear from anyone like him.

"The only things interesting about this place are that meadow you have here and you." He whispered.

"What?" I say. I am a little confused. Did I just here what I think I heard.

"I mean come on. The meadow is full of flowers not covered in coal dust, I might add. You are a beautiful singer and you pack a mean punch. I still have the marks from yesterday!"

"I have just now decided we will be friends. No not friends. Best friends." I say with confidence. I now this seems way too fast to be best friends but I probably wont ever see him again so what the heck. He looks surprised. Immediately I feel heat rise to my cheeks.

"Sure! I will see you next year. We are leaving today but I can try to get a seat here for next year." He says.

Now I want to now as much as I can about him in the short time we have left. "I am Katniss. I'm 6."

"Cato. 7."

I look at the sky and see that my dad will be up soon. I say that I have to go and run off. I'm gone in a flash.

I can't wait til next year.

Sorry for the log wait. Thanks for all the support, criticism, and reviews. I really appreciate it.

REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW.
