It's been a week since I updated, I feel bad. I know I said to get to 30 reviews, but 5 reviews were from the same person... o.o not that that matters. I'm just happy I have some; it's great to see people are reading this story, makes me very happy. I've decided I would like, if possible 40 reviews for the next update? Come on guys, I know you can do it! Love you all x-x I am also going to do a Peeta's POV in this chapter, since I think it would be nice to add him in here just for a bit.
Peeta's POV:
It was hard being so close to Prim and not being able to tell her how I feel. I so dearly wished to confess my feelings to her, and find out she feels the same way. Sadly, I know she won't. I see the way she looks at him, the lust in her eyes, the way her face lights up when he enters a room. Why couldn't that be me? I could be the one she is eager for, the one who she thinks about all the time, but no, I'm not Cato, I'm Peeta, the shy boy nobody really knows.
I kept remembering the chariot rides, the way our bodies were hardly covered, just a coating of coal dust to hide our bare skin. I loved the way our hair was on fire, it made us stand out, especially Prim, and she looked amazing. I wondered how many men were thinking about Prim whilst she entered on the chariot, she was definitely a sight worth remembering. I bet she didn't even know how good she looked that night. Then again, I bet she was thinking about the district 2 boy. I mean, when is she ever not thinking about him? He really drove me angry. She hardly knew him, but he made her fall head over heels for him. I bet she is just another fling for him, ''Oh let's have some fun before the games'' I bet he's thinking. It disgusts me, she deserves someone like me, and I can keep her safe. Yes we both won't make it out of the arena alive, but I can protect her until the end, and I WILL give my life up for her. She has so much to live for. This most likely seems strange, a bakers son, who was madly in love with Katniss Everdeen now loves her younger sister. But that's what happens when you meet your true love. I honestly couldn't care about the age gap, and she doesn't either, since that Cato boy is around about the same age as me. Why couldn't she just be happy with a boy from her own district like me?
Training went by in a blur, I threw a few spears, but I wasn't too good. I was pleased with myself when I picked up some weights and threw them over to the spear station knocking down the rows of equipment. I could feel people's eyes watching me as I did it. It's great to be noticed once and a while. Whilst I was getting ready to pick up another weight, I saw Cato talking to Prim. It drove me nuts, so I decided to walk over there and have a look at what was going on. Whilst I was approaching her, I watched as Cato kissed her on the cheek, got up and left. I would have hit him right there, NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO TOUCH HER. She doesn't know what he is doing; he's using her, fresh meat as some would say. It isn't really my place to tell her what to do though, so I pretended I didn't see anything and just asked what he wanted. Gosh, I wish she wouldn't be so stupid, he doesn't like her, in those games she will be one of his first to kill, that's how he works, and that's what Careers do. Poor Prim, she will make a fool of herself. But no, I won't let him; I will do anything I can to get him away from her. Oh, and he will be my kill. So I suggest nobody touches him, he's mine.
Prim's POV
I'd fallen for him. I Primose Everdeen had fallen head over heels for Cato Evans. I don't know if he feels the same way, but since that small kiss, I couldn't stop thinking about him. The way his eyes stared into mine, his golden hair that reflects the sun shining brightly, he made me need him. Although, every time I am around him, I get butterflies and start to mumble, is this what first love is really like? I've never been in love before, I found boys to be weird, and very childish. But he was different, despite the huge age gap, he was so mature, and could talk to a girl normally. I wonder what he is thinking about now; I wished it was me, as I was thinking of him.
''Prim, get ready dinner is in 30minutes.'' Peeta shouted to me from across the room. I'm glad he was here for me, I felt protected, he was like a big brother to me, and I really respected him for that.
''Ok, I'm going to go for a walk for a few minutes then'' I shouted back, straining my voice a little. Sometimes I just liked to go for a walk to clear my mind of things. I'd heard there was a roof top somewhere, so I might try and find it. I began to stroll towards the elevator, and clicked the top button, hoping it would lead me towards the roof. The doors shut, and I felt the elevator begin to move. I sighed loudly and slumped against the wall. I liked being alone, it really made me feel free. I use to sit alone in the field back in district 12, it was great just laying under the old willow tree, singing to myself. I felt like I could lie there for years, staring into the sky, watching the clouds form weird shapes which I use to make into animals.
''The Roof Top'' the robotic voice said once the elevator had come to a stop. I quickly ran through the doors and onto the roof. My jaw dropped as I took in the sight in front of me. The Capitol was so lively and bright at night. It was like something I had never seen before. You could see people below us, but they looked like little ants. I breathed in the fresh Capitol air, and sat down on the ledge. Bringing my knees up to my chest, I began to sing an old song Mother taught me. She said it was her and my father's wedding song; I really liked the song, and enjoyed singing it to my cat Buttercup.
Follow me down to the edge of the town,
The edge of the town where the graves are,
Swallowed in weeds in the throes of those trees,
The throws of the trees where my heart lies.
You can be my one if you want to go,
You can be my Juliet then,
We can drift asleep in a lover's pose,
But never go away,
No poison here we're safe.
''Who knew little Prim could sing?'' a male voice chuckled. Cato.
DUN DUN DUN, What did you think? I enjoyed writing this, and the song is called Juliet by Royal Wood. :] Come on guys, let's get those 40 reviews!
