So cheers to making me grin at the computer. Also, below I will be replying to the comments. Enjoy!

Katniss turned quickly away from the window. Her grey eyes were wide in alarm as she stared at her brother. "Cato lives next door." She growled at her brother, upset that he withheld the information from her.
Ian awkwardly scratched his hair, careful of what he said when his sister was like this. "I didn't want you to worry."
"Worry? I am definitely not worried." Katniss said as she took a wistful glance at the window before turning her attention back to her brother.
"Right, you are not worried at all." Ian said warily before turning back to his video game.
Katniss let out a breath she didn't know that she had been holding. "I'm going to go talk to him. To go ahead and get it over with."
"You do that." Ian said jerking his body left and right with the controller in hand.
Katniss opened the front door. She abruptly stopped and smoothed down her braid and tank top self-consciously. She took a deep breath and walked down Ian's porch while nudging away many garbage bags, she made her way to Cato.
As soon as Cato stood in front of her with his blonde locks, piercing blue eyes, and muscular build Katniss knew that for one, the two years she had been away from him he had been blessed with gorgeous looks; second, she wanted to run far, far away. She couldn't help remembering that that day she had last seen him, and just like that it felt as if there was not enough air in the world.
"Hey Kat." Cato said, smiling. He acted as if the day he had last seen her had never happened.
Katniss gave him a half smile. She halfheartedly hoped that he would say something, if anything about what had happened between them.
Cato's smile faltered and all of Katniss hope vanished into thin air.
Cato frowned shaking his head. "Don't do this to me Katniss."
Katniss felt like Cato had struck her in the gut and all she could do was take in a sharp breath.
"Don't do this to you?" Katniss questioned furiously.
"Yeah, me. I actually try to make everything less awkward between us and there you go with-with that." He said gesturing to Katniss.
Katniss bit her lip, disbelievingly shaking her head. "I'm just here trying to piece everything together of what happened between us."
Cato furiously rubbed his arm, his blue eyes shooting daggers at Katniss. "Well, maybe I don't want to talk about it with you." He snapped.
Katniss let out a harsh puff of air and pointed an accusing finger at Cato. "You are the biggest jerk ever. I can't believe that I actually thought you could carry on a conversation without blowing up."
Cato scoffed. "Yeah, well you always did have a distorted view of things."
Katniss rose her eyebrows. "Really? Well, guess what I was stupid for ever loving you."
Hurt flashed across Cato's eyes but, was covered by anger. "Well, I'm glad that I was smart enough to never love you."
Katniss threw her hands up and glanced up at the sky before looking back at Cato. "Don't ever talk to me again."
Cato gave her a cruel smirk. "Gladly"
Katniss turned on her heel, her heart was pounding hard. Katniss brought a shaky hand to her face wiping away at the unwanted tears. All she could think was that she hoped Cato was hurting as much as she was.
So, what did you think? You know what you want to do it…Review!

Thank you so much! You are also a good guesser it was Cato. I am not sure if Peeta or Prim is going to be in this. I am glad though that chapter two was better!
