Chapter Two

"Finally!" Clove screamed,, running out of school as soon as she heard the bell ring. Her flip flops smacked against the concrete as she ran to give her best friends a hug.

"What's up with you Clo?" Cato asked, grinning.

Clove made a face at Cato, and crossed her arm over her chest. "Don't think I'm a lunatic. I know what you're thinking," Clove said, squinting her eyes at Cato.

Cato stared at Clove, almost as if on guard. He knew Clove. She was so mysterious and would pounce on anyone unexpectedly, if they even thought or said something mean about her or her best friends.

"Anyways, when are we going to the beach?" Katniss asked. "How about now, because, we as in the girls have got to change!"

"Sounds good to me. Cato! Drive us!" Annie said, tossing her brown hair back.

"Why do I have to?" Cato complained. "You girls take forever."

Marissa raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't make me do something I'll regret later."

"What is going on with girls today? They are all threatening me!" Cato said, to Finnick and Marvel, who backed away not wanting the girls to threaten them. "Gee, what good friends you are," Cato said, sarcastically. "Fine, I'll take you girls. But don't expect me to enjoy this."

"Oh don't worry. We won't expect you to anyways," Clove said, in a sickly sweet voice.

"Can at least one of the guys come with me? Actually can everyone come? It's big enough for all of-"

"Oh Cato!" A sickly sweet feminine voice called. Who else, but Glimmer Macintosh? The rich and snobby girl of The Sea Hugh School. Anyone could tell it was Glimmer. After all, she was the only girl who could have a blonde hair like that. A fresh new layer of mascara painted her long eyelashes. Katniss couldn't even bear to look at her. She actually put gunk like that in school. It wasn't even prom or anything! And of course her loyal and snobby rich friends, Madge Undersee and Ivana Lockhart , were standing behind her with their skinny little arms crossed against their chest, glaring at the girls behind Cato.

"What are you doing here?" Cato asked, impatiently.

"I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to the beach with me? We could swim, and ride the new roller coaster, and see the sunset," Glimmer said, seductively, completely ignoring Katniss and her best friends.

"Sorry, I can't because I'm going with my friends to the beach," Cato said, abruptly. He turned around and grabbed Katniss's arm and whispered, "Let's go quickly Katy! She's going to follow me everywhere!"

Katniss sniggered and motioned the others to get into Cato's car. Of course Cato was going to drive, while Katniss sat in the passenger's seat. Finnick and Annie cuddled at the back, while Clove said something out loud. She was probably cursing at Glimmer, and marvel and Marissa sat at the last back seat, where they just talked.

"So Cato, how was it like to have Glimmer drooling over you?" Katniss asked, laughing. She despised Glimmer, but she couldn't help but laugh at Cato's reaction when Glimmer had tried to be seductive. Of course it didn't work, but the failed attempt to just asking Cato out was enough to make Katniss burst out laughing.

Cato glared at Katniss and said, "That was embarrassing. And insulting! Why would I even go out with her?"

Katniss just shook her head, and continued laughing. "Hey Clove! D-did you se-see Cato's face, when Glimmer asked him out?"

Clove grinned mischievously. "Oh, how could I miss that? Anyone who wanted to laugh right then, should have seen his face!" Clove and Katniss cracked up even louder. The other two couples were unaware since they were in their own love world.

Cato rolled his eyes, until they landed on Katniss. She was still laughing, but he could see here eyes twinkling. Her gray eyes were ablaze, and her wavy brown hair was in her signature braid. Her skin was flawless and smooth, and she smelled like cinnamon and honey. How come he never realized it before? Cato shook himself out of his trance, and mentally scolded himself for thinking like that towards Katniss. She was a friend! Only a friend! Nothing else!

"Hey turn that up," Katniss said, once she got over her fit of laughter.

"What up?" Cato smirked, knowing very well what she was asking for.

"The radio, you doofus!" Katniss said, rolling her eyes playfully.

Cato smirked, and turned up the radio.

"Weather report is that their will be a twenty percent of thunderstorms, so today looks like it won't be a good day for going to the beach," the meteorologist said, in her annoying chirpy voice.

"Oh, who cares?" Clove asked. "Only twenty percent? That's like one percent! Let's just keep going Cato."

"I was thinking the same thing," Cato said, grinning.

After the girls had gotten their bikinis and other clothes and accessories in their tote bags, it was time to get rolling!

"I can't wait to-" Annie started, but was interrupted when they heard thunder in the sky.

"No, please don't make it rain," Clove prayed. But her prayers were answered by a flash of lightning, and fat droplets of water raining down on them.

"Great. Just what we need," Marvel said, sarcastically.

Katniss, sighed and said, "I've got an idea! Why don't we go to Cato's summer cabin? You know? In the beach? Until the rain goes away. We could stay over their, until tomorrow. There is no point in going to my house. My mother is staying over at a friend's and Prim is too."

"And what? Do our homework in there?" Cato asked, groaning.

"No. We could do something. I just don't know what yet," Katniss said.

Cato shrugged his shoulders, and turned the steering wheel, so that they could head to the beach.
