Clove's POV
Training was pretty easy, especially the gauntlets. I may be small, but I can leap like a leopard. I did it in the fastest time, Cato and Marvel just narrowly missing beating my time of 23 seconds, as they both tied with 26. Glimmer, unfortunately for her, got 35 seconds.
She was even beat by the District 11 male, Thresh. How embarrassing must that be? I stood there, howling with laughter as she stormed past, sulking and whimpering. Marvel was busy throwing spears and Cato seemed to be making fun of Peeta Mellark. I run over to him.
"What's going on?"
Marvel soon joins us, and then Glimmer comes too, as we watch him climb on the net. Just as we turn away, he slips and lands with a thump. I fold my arms, as Cato sways slightly and Marvel and Glimmer exchange smug glances. He slowly sits up, and jumps slightly as Katniss appears at his side. I chuckle silently as Katniss whispers to him. The only thing I heard was 'Haymitch'
I watch him study us carefully, taking in our triumphant smiles. Katniss walks away as Peeta gets up. He walks over to the weights, and he looks at us, panting as he lifts up the heaviest one. I nudge Cato and he looks back grinning. I begin to laugh, but my voice gets caught in my throat as he hurls it through the air. Marvel steps back surprised, and Cato nods.
"Ok guys, let's go." He snarls, avoiding eye contact with Peeta.
I watch him clench and unclench his fists. He sits down on the bench outside the elevator and Marvel hands us all cups of water. I take it graciously and gulp it down. Leaning back against the wall, I secretly link hands with Cato. He smiles into his cup as I catch his eye.
Glimmer perches on the end of the bench, her backside nearly sat on Cato's lap. Of course, she is doing it purposely. I glare at her, but she doesn't seem to notice. I shuffle up the bench, and Cato does too.
"There you go Glimmer, you can sit down now!" Cato laughs. Glimmer goes bright red and pretends to drink out of her cup. Marvel sighs from the end of the bench, and he gets up.
"What up?" I ask him, dragging him away from Glimmer and Cato. As much as I dislike Cato being left alone with Glimmer, I'm intrigued to know what is up with Marvel. "You can't act all dopey and sad in the games! Get a grip." I hiss at him.
"It's Glimmer! I really like her, and there she is, flirting with Cato. Literally!" He admits. I feel my stomach drop as I see Glimmer sat on his lap. Cato is trying to push her off, but to no avail.
"I'm sorry." I whisper to him as we walk back.
He shakes his head. "It's not your fault. I just wish she would realize."
I nod. "I knew that feeling."
Cato's POV
"Look, I don't like you. Go away!" I grit my teeth and try to shove her off. She leaps off, and I sigh happily, to see Marvel and Clove coming back. I instantly clench my fist as Clove puts her hand on his shoulder.
"I'll be okay." She says, smiling. When she walks back over to me, I raise my eyebrows, but she waves it off.
Atala claps twice to get our attention. "Thank you for being behaved today. You may leave now. Same time tomorrow."
I leap up from the bench and dash for the elevator, leaving Marvel and Glimmer behind. I push her inside and close the door, hoping nobody comes in. Glimmer dashes for the door, but I press the button that closes it, and it shuts in her face. I sigh as I punch in the number '2', and then I grab Cloves cheeks and kiss her lips. I pull away, and she looks shocked.
"Sorry. I had to do that. Glimmer just gets on my nerves."
Clove rolls her eyes as we arrive at our floor. We walk out of the elevator, to be cornered by Enobaria.
"What did you do? Who did you meet? Did you do well?"
I slide out from underneath her. "We both did fine. We did some knive throwing, spearing and swords, and we met the other careers. They're cool. Marvels alright, but Glimmer-" I shiver, walking away.
"What's up with...Glimmer…" she pulls a weird face at the name.
"She tried to make a move on me! Perching on my lap all day probably got her some bruises!" I shout, jumping onto the sofa.
"Ah, that probably got Clove here all frustrated and angry!" she waves her arms around, following Clove to the sofa.
"So? He doesn't like her, so I don't need to worry. "Clove says, plopping down onto the sofa. I wrap my arm around her shoulders.
Enobaria rolls her eyes. "I'll see you two lovebirds later, I've got something to do." She mutters, walking away.
"So, what was up with Marvel?" I ask Clove.
"Some Sweet Lurvin' problems"
I nod. "Luckily we don't have that."
She replies. "I'm glad we don't."
At this minute, I wish Glimmer would back off! Well, I get to control her. *laughs evilly*
I wonder if any Glato fans are reading this. As much as I still want views, why are you reading this story? I will never understand the minds of fanfiction readers. Anyway, thanks again for reading, and keep reviewing! I love hearing your opinion! R&R R&R….
