A/N: Please review, this chapter took a lot of time to write, and I don't want to continue with a story that no one cares about. But, I will continue with it because I love it. I love writing all this sappy stuff, but I can't wait for the surprise I have in store much later in the story. There's a few hints in here, but they're very subtle. Review if you think you know what it is. Please R&R, see ya later!
The Following Friday
Katniss P.O.V.
It's been a week and a half since the Peeta incident. It's 4 am, and in four and a half hours school starts. Peeta will be there for the first time since Tuesday. I was having a dream, I don't remember of what, but I notice a small tapping on my window. I look over to see Marvel, outside my window, grinning like the Cheshire Cat. I went over and opened it. He jumped inside. "Hey Catnip."
"Marvel! What the hell? It's 4 am!"
"Couldn't stay away. Excited for our date tonight?"
We were going to the movies tonight. I love going to the movies, it inspires me and my filmmaking. Unfortunately, because of the Peeta incident, we haven't begun filming. However, Marvel has been helping me with the script. He's such a gentleman. I think I love him.
"I can't wait. What movie are we seeing again?"
"Carrie."
"Great."
He leaned in and kissed me. It was a passionate kiss, but more full of love than lust. When we were done, we were breathing shallowly. He had swept me off my feet, quite literally, as he was now holding me bridal style. He looked into my grey eyes as I looked into his stunning blue ones. He smiled, I smiled we were both happy. I heard a light turn on. "Shit, Marvel, hide beneath my bed."
Marvel quickly scrambled under my bed, dropping me onto mine. My mother opened the door. "I thought I heard talking. You okay?"
"Yeah, just talking to myself; I can't sleep."
"Alright. But remember, school starts in four and a half hours. I will ask around to make sure you attend."
She left, and Marvel came out from under the bed. "That was close."
I attacked his lips, and we made out for nearly an hour. When we came up for breath, his face was red. He just looked at me, for so long. I know that I love him. "I love you." He said.
"I… I love you too." I blurted out.
"Hey, I barely know anything about you. I know you're stubborn, good with a bow, and that your favorite color is green. But, like, what kind of music do you like."
"I like Evanescence."
"Who?"
"Evanescence, they're an Alternative Rock band."
"Sound cool. Play me some?"
"Okay."
I got out my iPhone and hit my playlist. My favorite song, 'My Immortal' came on. "Oh, I've heard this on the radio, I think."
We danced to that for a while. Then, the next song came on. It was more of a rock tune, 'Going Under'. We rocked out to that, until the next song, 'Call Me When You're Sober' came up. When that was over, I decided to shower. It was 5:30, when I normally shower. "I'm going to shower. Do you need anything?"
"Can I watch?" he joked.
"Nice try, pretty boy."
"I'm pretty?"
"Pretty and naughty. Naughty boys get punished."
"Can I get my punishment now?"
"Alright. You have to do my laundry. Touch my underwear and I'll cut you!"
He complied, gathering all of my laundry. He brought it downstairs to do. I got in the shower, and was out 20 minutes later. Marvel was waiting for me in my room. Thankfully, I had gotten dressed in the bathroom, so I didn't put on a show for him. "I parked my car outside, so when you're ready we can go. Did you ask your mom if you could spend the night?"
"She said yes, as long as we were careful."
"Don't worry; I don't want to have sex yet. We've only just met."
"Thank god."
"But, we can sleep together."
"Well, that is different, and I'm sure that's not what she meant. Besides, we'll probably make out for a while.
"Great. What are we going to do for the next hour and a half?"
"I've got an idea."
Cato P.O.V.
I woke up at 7:45. School starts in 45 minutes! Peeta would be there! Peeta and I were going to see a movie tonight, called Carrie. As it turned out, he loved scary movies. So did I. We were made for each other. I picked him up that day. On the drive to school, he was very quiet. I put my hand on his leg, and rubbed it gently. He looked up at me, and I whispered to him "I love you."
His mouth dropped open. He kissed me then, very passionate. I had to push him off so we could make it to school alive. When we got to school he blushed and ran away. When I walked in, people were laughing. Not at me though, at Peeta. Peeta, Glimmer, Marvel, Katniss and I were standing in the doorway. There was a picture of him kissing me with full force. People knew now. However, when I took one of the kids, a boy from team 3, and threw him into a locker so hard that I heard a crack, no one was laughing. They all looked scared. Peeta put his hands on my shoulders, and looked at the crowd. Glimmer came up behind us, and so did Katniss and Marvel. Clove even came over to join us. Finnick and a little girl named Rue, along with her older brother, Thresh stood behind us as well. Gloss and Cashmere stood behind us too. Soon, we were all holding hands, and put them up in the air.
Gale came up to confront us, along with his team of meatheads. I saw a Goth girl wielding an axe bring the axe down on a power box. Suddenly, all the lights went out. I heard Gale mutter "They're holding hands, I want them dead."
All Hell broke loose. I don't know what happened to the Goth girl, but I think she made it out. The football jocks were on us, beating us up. Glimmer, being the whore she was, started making out with one of them, until she gave him a head-butt that hurt me. Gloss was punching one several times in the gut, while Cashmere held him down. Katniss had a cheerleader in a head lock, while Marvel was punching Gale in the face. Rue was dancing around, easily avoiding cheerleaders that were chasing her. Thresh threw two jocks into a locker. I punched a cheerleader in the face so hard she flew back into three jocks, pushing them all into a locker. Peeta was clinging to my shirt, obviously afraid. I heard a low voice shout "Enough!"
We all looked up to see Principal Snow standing there. "Everyone in this hallway is to report to the gymnasium immediately!"
Gale P.O.V.
We marched unwillingly down the hallway; I saw Katniss and smiled at her, but she drew a line across her throat. I was scared shitless. When we were there, Vice Principal Coin stood in the center, 12 balls surrounding her. "Hello. We are going to solve this with a violent game of dodge-ball. Who started this?"
Every one of the losers pointed at me, while all of my friends, including Gil, pointed at Peeta. "Mr. Mellark, Mr. Hawthorne, you two are team captains. Alright, now choose your teams."
Peeta chose all the losers, including that Goth girl, Johanna. I chose all of my friends. Vice principal Coin was now over behind the gymnasium door. She blew her whistle, and all hell broke loose. While we were strong, they were fast. They grabbed all 12 balls. Oh shit.
Peeta P.O.V.
Well, we won the volleyball match. The other team was suspended until Wednesday. Cato picked me up and kissed me. I was shrieking and laughing as he threw me over his shoulder. "Cato! Put me down! Katniss, help!"
Katniss wouldn't be much help though; she was making out with Marvel. "Glimmer, Glimmer!" She was too busy laughing.
"Cashmere, Clove, help me!"
But I was carried out of the gym, and I could tell Cato was walking for a long time, because at least five minutes passed. Suddenly we were in his car. In the backseat. Oh god. He kissed me, very passionately. "Cato, no. I don't want this."
"You don't want to make out with your boyfriend?"
"Oh, well in that case." I started being very aggressive. We were lie that until we heard a voice behind us. "Get a room."
It was Katniss, as she was groping all of Marvel. They were making out just like us, against Cato's car. We got out, and laughed at them. They soon joined in. Then the first hour bell rang. "Oh shit!"
Katniss P.O.V.
After school, Marvel took me in his car to my house, so we could grab my stuff. "Hi Katniss." Said Prim.
"Hey. This is Marvel, my…"
"Boyfriend."
"Great."
We ran up to my room, and we both went through my drawers in a frenzy. Once we had it all, we rushed to the theatre. The show started in 10 minutes. We got there with 5 minutes to spare. We saw two people we were not expecting in there. Cato and Peeta had decided to go to the same movie that we had. "Hi Katniss!" said Peeta.
Cato turned around to see us. He smiled, and waved us over. "We should all sit together. It'd be fun."
We sat in the back row. The trailers were interesting enough, if you wanted to be bored to death. The movie started. As soon as Peeta saw how Mrs. White treated Carrie, he started crying silently. Cato put his arm around him and comforted him. Peeta cried into his arm until the prom scene. I was on the edge of my seat. When the blood fell on her, I was almost dying to see what happened next. The bloodshed was so awesome! I wanted more. The ending was really good. I went to Marvels house completely satisfied. We did sleep together that night.
Cato P.O.V.
He was so scared when the movie was over. He was hiding behind me the entire prom scene. I comforted him afterwards, as we sit on is bed. "Let me tell you why I cried when I saw Mrs. White."
"Okay."
"When I was 4, my mother locked me in a closet for two days until I could find Jesus. I don't believe in God, never did. She was so angry with me, that she forced me out and beat me for half an hour. When I was 6, my mother tied me to my bed until I apologized for eating a cookie. After I apologized, she left me there for five days, whipping me with a belt every chance she got. When I was 7, she put me in a garbage bag and left me on the side of the street until I stopped breathing. When I was 8, she forced me to drink boiling water because I got a 7/10 on a math test. When I was 11, she tied me to a pole in our backyard because I read a book that wasn't the Bible. When I was 13, she gave me a black eye and I had to stay home from school to protect her. Then, of course, she almost killed me last week. I've had nobody there for me, well, besides the Everdeens, until you, Cato. I love you."
I let him cry into my chest. "I love you too, Peeta."
