A/N Hi guys. Thank you so much for all the reviews it means the world to know people like my story. I'm really sorry I haven't posted in ages! I've had a lot going on at the moment and schools kept me busy. Hopefully some of Cato's POV will make up for it? I will try to update as quickly as I can but I've had a rough few weeks so I haven't really had any inspiration.

Cato's POV

After yet another beating from my violent uncle, I walked into the training centre wearing my signature smirk. I'd never let anyone at the academy know of my weakness. The only person that knows is my best friend Derek. He's the one who helps me clean up the bruises and cuts. I knew that everyone else in the academy would laugh. The great Cato has a weakness. And I hate it.

I walked towards my first class. Weapons. I couldn't wait to get my hands on my favourite sword. I began walking past the lockers to find myself being shoved into them. I looked up to see who had pushed me to see one of my friends, James.

"What the hell James?!" I yelled shoving him off of me. He looked ready to slam his fist into my face. As I had been taught, I automatically moved into a defensive position, ready to put him in a headlock if needed.

"Myra has been our friend for three years! You've known that girl for two weeks!" He yelled back, starting to step towards me. "You made Myra cry." I rolled my eyes.

"The difference is Myra has friends, Clove doesn't." I said, not wanting to yell any more. I knew if I allowed myself to get mad my anger would get the better of me and James could end up hurt.

"Why do you care if she has friends or not? Has Cato found his weakness?" James teased, smirking.

I stormed off. If I'd have stayed I'd have hit him. I knew I could, not like I hadn't done it before.

Clove's POV

I walked into the gymnasium for weapons training and I was met with people glaring at me. All except for three people. Charlie of course, Cato as well and also a boy who I'd heard people call Derek. I was surprised he wasn't glaring considering I knew he was friends with Myra.

I went past everyone and over to the corner where Charlie stood. I tried to ignore the hostile glares I received. I guess my first week at the academy wasn't going as well as I'd hoped. I was already hated by almost everyone here. The trainer gave us instructions to work in groups of four on our hand to hand combat. I sighed inwardly, not knowing who would willingly work with me and Charlie.

I was surprised when we were approached by Cato and Derek.

"You guys wanna work with us?" Cato asked. I nodded.

"Sure." Charlie told them. He seemed quite excited at the idea of working with two of the more popular students. I, however was puzzled. Surely they'd rather work with people who weren't hated by the entire academy.

"Why would you want to work with us?" I asked

"We're friends, remember?" Cato reminded me, smiling. I couldn't help myself but to smile back.

A/N Well that was the new chapter. Sorry it wasn't great. I've been thinking of skipping time once Cato and Clove's friendship is more solid to their friendship anniversary two years later. Let me know in reviews if you think I should.

Next Chapter...

- More bonding with Derek and Cato

- Some more of Clove's home life

Until next time, enjoy!
