Peeta POV:
This shouldn't happen, but I saw Cato first before my father remarry to his mother. I was fourteen when I first met Cato; he was coming out detention for god knows what, and I was waiting for my bus. I was kick off and not kick off more like remove do to the constant bullying I got on the bus, and so my father and the school found a different bus that will accommodation to my needs at first I hate because it was bad enough that I was mute now I have to ride specialist bus for me, but slowly I warm up to idea riding specialist bus if that meant I got away from Glimmer; she always steals my white board and the only to get back if had to say 'please' forcing me to speak no words can come out my mouth only grunts or whimpers that came out of my mouth they all laugh at me.
My family couldn't afford speech teacher not after my mother's death my father and brothers were grief stricken while I felt empty I mean sure my mother wasn't the best mother, but she still my birth mother, and sure she yelled at me for being freak of the family, but I could live with that. Now both my brothers are gone leaving me and my father to run this small bakery. Life was simple until that afternoon when I heard women crying in alley near our bakery so I grab my white board and head outside. Then I saw her Ms. Striker she was sitting crying her makeup was running. I carefully approach her with simple tap on her shoulder she looked up. I wrote "are you okay and why was she crying" and she start to spill her life story how her husband was cheating on her and now her son hates her for divorcing her husband then my father came out seeing us. The rest was blurry for me until the day of wedding I hid among party goners. I know Mrs. Striker has son close to my age, but I guess he didn't attend the wedding seeing that his mother is getting re-marry to another men probably didn't sit well for him. After the wedding Mrs. Striker wants me and my father move in with her, so we did that. When she called down Cato so he can meet us I felt my heart drop he was downright handsome. At first I avoid Cato like the plague it wasn't hard since the house was big already and since we hang out with different group of people. Then one day when both of our parents were out Cato came downstairs looking for something I was about write something down, but when we share look he right away pick up and found what he was looking for. At first I thought it was fluke, but it happen again with my nightmares I don't why but my reaction was to find Cato. Once I did find him I was afraid of walking him up because he'll make fun of me for having nightmares, but I mustered up the courage walk into his room. I nudge him hoping he will wake up he stir for few second, but he finally woke up we just stare at each other few second he move over telling me to get in. I nod and crawl into his bed I felt safe his arms wrapping around me spooning until I fell asleep. That was until my father found us like this next morning. Cato explains I had nightmare and I didn't want to wake up dad or step-mom. My dad bought since this was first few weeks away of my dad's remarriage and I'm trying to cope with it.
A few days before the bed incident Cato got in fight with Gale; we joke about going out, but apparently Cato thought Gale actually ask me out so in that same day Cato ram Gale into the locker bank and they start to throw fists at each other. When I heard what was going I ran looking for Cato and Gale I found them with no problem since there was group of kids surrounding them chanting their name. I push past them I try to get Cato to calm down, but that was impossible it was like calming raging bull that's already it's on stamped. I grab-hug him hoping that will calm him down which it did to my surprise. That didn't stop him getting dentation from the principal and Ms. Striker grounding him from everything. That only means Cato and I grow closer making our relationship more unique.
Then month after the bedroom incident our parents drop the bomb by telling us that they sign Cato for the Marines. I cry as he holds me. He whispers gentle words into my ears to calm me down.
Now it has been two years and my parents are moving me out to the east coast for fear of Cato finding me. I left him a little note where to find me in place where he can find it.
