Note this continues with Cato's and Gale's conversation

GALE

I hate to admit it but I'm actually kind of nervous. Eating next to a guy who wouldn't hesitate to kill me and for some reason doesn't seem to like me has nothing to do with it. Suddenly my nervousness seems stupid, I'm nervous about being on live TV, but not of eating with a guy who might want to kill me. See? Stupid,Katniss would probably laugh at that.

I frown, Katniss, I have to live for her. It sounds cliché the guy falling for his best friend when he could have anyone else, but I did and I don't regret it. I just wish I was the only one who felt that way. I know Peeta Mellark likes her but I'm not worried about him. Then there's Cato, I had a suspicion but it was only recently confirmed when I was talking to him about her. His showed no expression in his face but I saw a hidden anger in his eyes. Katniss doesn't need someone like him, he's just going to add on to her fire, she has enough fire already. She needs someone who knows her and where she comes from, not someone who ticks her off every ten minutes.

"Come on we should get down there." Cato says as he stands up. I deftly follow him down to where the interviews are going to be filmed.

KATNISS

I spotted Cato and Gale making their way to us from the elevator. I rushed over and told Gale where to stand in the tribute line. Minnie was standing just in front of him.

Cato and I met up with Cinna and Portia and made our way to our seats in the audience. The interviews were the same as always. The girl from district one went for sexy like all the girls from her district do. The boy from her district went for cocky and arrogant but also he was rude. The girl from district two went for heartless killer. The boy from two was different though, he seemed nervous. The rest of the interviews were pretty forgettable. Three stood out to me, the girl from five was really smart and did a bit of the mysterious thing, the girl from eleven was smart and seemed agile and appeared to have good common sense, and the boy from eleven kept to himself he gave brief answers and stayed curt. Next comes Minnie's interview.

"So Minnie tell me what you think about the Capitol," Ceaser said. Minnie spoke softly and even with the microphone it was hard to hear her.

"It's kind of overwhelming."

"I know, I know, now tell me what was your favorite moment here in the capitol?"

"When we first got a glimpse of the Capitol. It stood tall and majestic in the distance and with the sun shinning right on it it looked...radiant,"

"Yes the capitol is often described that way." Ceaser said and then launched into how many people often see the capitol with Minnie smiling and nodding during it. The buzzer went off and Ceaser stopped talking and seemed to realize that he took up all of Minnie's time.

Gale strutted up to Ceaser, yes, he strutted. The very first words out of Ceaser's mouth was, "So Gale have any special girl back home?" I expected that one, Ceaser asked that to every guy up there who was generally good looking so that was a no brainier.

"Yeah, I got tons of girls back home."

"I mean someone special to you."

"Well some of those girls are quite the kissers," Gale joked and the audience laughed. Ceaser chuckled and went on. A minute later he asked.

"So is it weird being taught by someone younger than you?"

"Nah, I think it's kinda funny. All our lives we are taught stuff by people older than us, we were taught that they knew more than us, but then here I am learning the most important thing. How to survive by someone younger than me, it's ironic really."

Ceaser looked thoughtful. "You make a good point Gale and I'd love to hear you speak more but I'm afraid your time is up," he announced as the buzzer went off.

We all met up in the living room. Cato and I congratulated Gale and Minnie both before telling them to go to bed. They listened and left. I headed up to the roof and Cato well...he was just standing in the middle of the living room last I saw.

After fifteen minutes Cato came to join me. He sat next to me and stared up at the stars. We sat there in complete silence, until I started to shiver. I tried to stop myself A) because I wanted to stay up here longer and B) because I didn't want Cato to notice but he did.

Cato took his jacket off and gave it to me. It smelled like, well not like it belong to a guy who trained so hard he was covered in sweat most of the time. I looked at Cato.

"What was that for?" I asked him. He shrugged "You looked cold." I fingered the coat sleeves.

"Thanks, I was pretty cold." I told him. He turned and faced me.

"It was no big deal. I don't mind the cold that much anyway and you looked like you didn't want to leave so...I gave you my coat," He ended awkwardly. I smiled at him.

"Thanks to you I'm toasty warm." He smiled at that and scooted closer.

"Well I'm glad, I can't have you getting sick right before the tributes go into the games," he told me.

"I hope Gale will be okay in the Arena. He's really important to me, if he died I have no idea what would happen," I said softly. I can't even believe I'm telling Cato this. Cato frowns slightly and then as fast as a viper leans forward grabs my face in both hands and kisses me,hard.

I don't even know how to describe it. It's indescribable, although that kinda described it. Cato's lips are soft and warm and I felt a tingle go through me as he kisses me. He pulls away and stands up.

"Sorry if you hate me now but I couldn't resist. I'll see you tomorrow Katniss," He mutters as he walks away. All I can do is stare at him in shock until the door closes and I can't see him.

Now I ask myself, do I like Cato?

YES!YES!YES YOU DO! Well I got that long awaited kiss up YAY! I'm leaving tomarrow to go on vacation for like ten days (we are driving there) and we are not bringing a laptop so I can't update, bummer, but I'm sure i'll have some more good ideas to make this story even more interesting!=) if I didnt that would be sad. Also I did intend to update earlier this week but all week I'm doing this thing called vbs (vacation bible school) and it only last for three hours but it really tired me out. So anyway hopefully when I get back i'll open my inbox on my email and see a bunch of great reviews=) so to make that dream come true please review!
