Hey guys! This is a shorter chapter because I'm having some trouble writing properly. Hope you can wait for next one! I promise it will be much better! REVIEW!

Cato's POV

"Cato, wake up honey!" Felicia said while banging on the door. I had to blink a few times before my vision was completely clear. I stood up and changed my clothes into formal black pants and a red shirt. When I walked into the dining room Joy was already there and her eyes looked red and puffy with big bangs under them, she probably didn't get a lot of sleep. I wondered, is that my fault? of course it is Cato.. don't be stupid, you kissed her idiot. I sat down across from Joy but she didn't even think about making eye contact. "So, what are we talking about?" I asked. "Well, I was giving Joy some advice." Our mentor Brutus said. "Okay, such as?" I asked. "First, you need to find water" He said. "Yeah, yeah, I already know that, you told me last year. After that you find high ground, don't make fire, and make an alliance with other careers. I already know that." I said looking at Joy but she still kept avoiding my gaze. "Yes, Cato, but Joy didn't." Brutus said glaring at me like I was ruining everything, he should have known..

"So Joy, what are your specialities?" Brutus asked her but she kept quiet. "Joy? Are you even listening?" Brutus asked again. "Wh-what?" Joy said looking up startled. "Whats wrong dear?" Felicia said. "Oh, sorry I didn't get a lot of sleep, but I already know what to do in the arena, how to survive and stuff." She answered. "That wasn't my question." Brutus said with one raised eyebrow. "Well, I can throw knives a bit, and I like axe's…" Joy answered shy. "A bit? I've seen her in training, she's the best one around!" I chimed in. "Clove was the best around, you know that idiot." Joy glared at Cato, but Cato was enjoying it. "Joy, dear, she was the best one around, you are." I answered. That was just enough for Joy to leave, she stood up and walked out of the dining room without saying anything at all. "Well, she doesn't have many manners does she?" Felicia said with her oh, so annoying capitol accent.

"Shut up, Felicia."

Joy's POV

I just needed time for myself, I didn't want to be with anyone else.. Was that really so hard to understand? I'm probably going to die in the arena, and I don't want to waste time talking to people that I don't like. I know what to do in the arena, I'm not a little kid. Cato is the little kid here, he started about clove, again. He knows I can't process anything about her well yet, and he is the one grownup to keep bugging me about it, idiot. I hate him, he had some kind of relationship with Clove, and in a matter of time he was already kissing me? I admit, he's a good kisser but how many girlfriends does he have back home? 6? 7? maybe even 8? I don't know..

But what I do know is that I'm going to let him pay for what he did to Clove, no matter what he says about how he was just to late to save her, and how he took his revenge by killing Tresh. Yeah, I don't believe that for a single second. I arrived at my room and took a hot shower. Those warm streams of water were probably the last I'll ever get, or maybe one or 2 at our own rooms on the second floor in the Training Center, but that's it.

Cato' POV

"I think I crossed the line" I said. It was true, I shouldn't have started about Clove again, she was dead and it was my fault. "Well, you could have been a little more careful" Felicia said. "what? you were the one who said that she didn't have any manners?" I felt my anger boil up inside of me. "Let's not make any more drama out of it. We'll arrive in the capitol soon, you should try to make it up with Joy" Brutus said. And he was true, I walked down the hallway to the door with 'Joy' in it and knocked. "Who is it?"

"It's Cato, we need to talk"

There was a big silence. "Please?" I asked again.

"Go away Cato, I don't want to hear any of your lies." She answered.

"I just want to talk to you, we'll arrive at the capitol soon and we need to be strong and make an impression."

"Fine. It's open."

I opened the door and saw her sitting on her bed faced away from me. "Joy, please, I'm really sorry for what I said.. I-I just can't always help it and don't think about what I say all the time." I sat down next to her and pulled her closer.

"I know, and I've already forgiven you, but I just miss her." she laid her head on one of my shoulders and started sobbing.

"Joy, we'll have to be strong when we arrive at the capitol." "Yes, and I'll be ready then. I'll show them what our family is made off, they can't tear us down so easily"

"That's the spirit!"
