Chapter Eight
[Cato's P.O.V.]
I'm looking for Katniss. I'm sure Clove is alright because I just saw her swim to safety. I see the familiar dark and messy braid of Katniss, and see her eye are closed. That's when I realize she's drowning!
My protective mode kicks in. I'm not losing Katniss just because of a fucking storm! I think I love her! I dive underwater, and grab her around the waist and heave her up. I'm not saying she's fat, I'm saying that I think she blacked out, because she's not struggling against me or anything like that.
When we both reach safety, everyone is there. Clove, Marvel, Marissa, Annie, and Finnick. I glance at Annie and see that she is blacked out. I heave Katniss up and place her on the safe part of the land.
"She blacked out," I gasp out. "What happened to Mrs. Odair?"
"She blacked out too," Finnick answered, ignoring the Mrs. Odair comment.
"How'd she black out?" I ask, confused.
"Let's just say... she got... surprised by my sudden appearance," Finnick said, scratching the back of his head.
I fought the urge to laugh. "You mean she thought you were a ghost?"
"... Sorta..." Finnick said. He notices my need to laugh, and he glares and says, "Shut up Cato! This is not a time to laugh!"
I stop laughing after a couple of seconds.
"Where were you guys? I couldn't find you!" Clove said, slapping my arm.
I shrug and say, "I dunno. We just got kinda separated from you guys." Marissa wraps her arms around me and pulls me into a hug. I hug her back too.
"What happened to Katniss?" She asks, concerned.
"She was drowning, I guess," I say, shrugging. I kneel besides her, and gently pick her wrist up. I feel for a pulse. She's alive, but she's cold like shit. "What do we do?"
Marissa kneels down next to me and bites her lip, probably thinking of what to do. "Do CPR," Marissa said, suddenly.
I was thrown off-guard and stutter, "Wh-what?"
Marissa rolls her eyes and says, "Perform CPR on her, Cato! What else do you want to do?"
"You mean kiss her?" I ask, breathlessly.
"You are such a freaking idiot! You're going to shove your tongue down Katniss? That's a kiss. I said do CPR! Blow oxygen into her mouth!"
I frown at her comment and say, "I know what CPR m-"
"Shut up and do!" Marissa interrupts. True, Marissa was sweet but she was mean too.
"Fine," I snarl. I take a deep breath and look down at Katniss's pale face. I then lower my lips down to hers.
[Marissa's P.O.V.]
Cato is such an idiot! I tell him to do CPR and he says kiss her? Pfft! I watch as he lowers his lips down to hers, and when the gap between them closes, I let out a sigh of relief. It reminded me of a Disney movie. Sleeping Beauty. Well, partly. Cato's the prince- I must be dreaming because Cato is far from a charming prince- and Katniss is like Aurora- Katniss would shoot a arrow through my heart if I even called her a princess.
I lean against Marvel, who wraps an arm around me. I look at Finnick and say, "Fin, do CPR on Annie? What are you staring at? Do it!" God, boys could be so dumb...
Finnick shrugs, and captures Annie's lips, and I can see his cheeks puff out as he attempts to blow air into Annie.
"Marvel?" I whisper.
"Hmm?" Marvel says, indicating for me to continue.
"Are they going to be alright?"
"They are Foxy. Don't worry," Marvel says, calling my by my nickname.
I turn around and smile at him. Our eyes lock, and he leans in to kiss me.
[Clove's P.O.V.]
I sighed. I really hoped Katniss and Annie were alright. I felt grateful that my friends all liked each other. But I wonder who is out there for me. I really hoped Steve liked me. He was cute and smart. Just the type of guys I like.
Rumor has it that he and Ivana, Glimmer's sidekick are dating, but I don't believe that. Sure they hanged out a lot together, but there must be a reason behind it, right? I wasn't even so sure if he was dating Ivana or not. They hanged out a lot together, and sometimes I saw them holding hands.
Maybe there wasn't any guy out there for me.
I feel a vibrate in my phone and I see a new post from Facebook about the storm from Glimmer.
Hey Clove. Seems like the storm was violent, huh? I was just hoping you, and your bitch of a friends, Katniss, Marissa, and Annie died.
Have a wonderful last day!
Glim-Glam Glimmer
I was about to burst out laughing. Glim-Glam? What kind of fucking nickname is that? She really was weak? Sending me death wishes through Facebook? She must have forgotten that Principal Trinket has a Facebook account, and can immediately suspend her for that. Principal Trinket was a big no-no on bad manners. Oh well, I'll be counting down the hours till Glim-Glam is suspended!
[Katniss's P.O.V.]
I was swimming. I was droning. That was the last thing I remembered when I lost consciousness. No-wait. There was another thing I remembered. Someone grabbing me. I didn't know who it was, but I was hoping it was one of my friends. I knew it could be any of the girls. So it must have been one of the guys. Not Marvel, because he was with Marissa. It had to be Cato or Finnick? Now that jolted me.
I felt lips on me, and blowing of oxygen. My eyes shoot open and I look at the person who is performing CPR on me.
Cato.
