Second chapter in one day :)


Carter's POV:

"She didn't just kiss you." Cato says shocked.

"Oh yes she did." I say smiling.

"She kissed you and waved to me, shouldn't it be the other way around?" Cato asks still puzzled.

"You're so dumb Cato, she likes me, she thinks of you as a friend. You gotta be a gentleman, like I am." I say crossing my arms across my chest.

"Let's just call her, and let's see who she likes better." Cato suggests.

I pull out my Blackberry from my pocket and dial Katniss' number.

"How the heck did you get Katniss' number?" Cato asks. I put a finger to my lips signaling him to shut up. I put the phone on speaker and let it ring. I hear music from the living room and hang up my phone.

"You idiot! Katniss left her phone here." Cato says.

"I guess that, I'll just have to go bring it to her." I say and run into the living room grabbing her white iPhone.

"I'm coming too. We'll see who she likes better." Cato says running out the door behind me.

"I bet you a hundred bucks she'll say she likes me better." I say to Cato. Cato sticks out his hand.

"Deal" I shake his hand.

"I have a feeling that after tonight, we'll be going out." I say to Cato.

"Dude, she's way to old for you." Cato says.

"She's like three years older then me, age doesn't matter, love wins in the end." I tell Cato.

"Sure." Cato says rolling his eyes.

After ten minutes of walking we get to Katniss' house. I ring the doorbell and Katniss opens the door.

"Hey guys, what 'cha doing here?"

"You forgot your phone at my house." I give her, her phone.

"Aw, thanks Carter, you're way better then Cato over here, who would always call me home and tell me to come pick it my phone up." Katniss tells me.

"Well we got to go now." Cato interrupts.

"Okay, bye Carter." and Katniss kisses me on the cheek again!

"And BTW, wear a dress tonight." I say before Katniss can close the door.

Me and Cato start walking back to our house.

"You owe me a hundred bucks."I say poking Cato.

"I can't believe she kissed you. AGAIN!" Cato says madly.

"You want her to kiss you... start being like me. But I'm not suggesting you get back together with her." I say and run back to our house, not wanting to talk to Cato anymore.

Katniss' POV:

Hahaha! Cato looked so sad when I kissed Carter on the cheek again. I don't actually like Carter, I just like jokes and the joke's on Cato now!

I go back in the living room, where Finnick and Prim are laughing so hard..

"So why are you laughing?" I ask putting my hands on my hips.

"Prim told me a funny story about you when you were 6." Finnick says in between giggles.

"PRIM!" I yell. She told Finnick the most embarrassing story ever, I was six and I started running around the neighborhood naked with a blanket tied around my neck and I was telling people that I was a superhero.


Annie had to help me get ready for dinner, it's not like I was going to start dating Cato or Carter, they both liked me but, I'm staying single and giving Cato and Carter the impression that I want to go out with Carter, oh I love my jokes!

Annie put out a red strapless dress that ends right above my knees and black pumps. I slip the dress over my head and put on my shoes. My hair is already curled so I leave it alone, I just change the gold hair clip to a black one. Annie does my makeup and drives me to Cato's house. I ring the doorbell and Carter opens the door, wearing a dress shirt, bow tie and dark jeans. He left his hair spiked up at the front.

"Hey-" When Carter sees me he freezes. "WOW! Hey Beautiful."

"Hey Carter, how you doing?" I ask.

"Great now that you're here." Carter says taking my hand and leading me in his house. "So dinner won't be ready for another half hour so you wanna go chill in my room?" Carter asks.

"No she won't" Cato interrupts coming into sight.

"Hey, Cato." I give him a small wave. I turn to Carter.

"Sure." Carter puts an arm around my waist and when he thinks I'm not looking sticks his tongue out at Cato.

Carter's room is green, he has a flat screen TV on the wall with two bean bag chairs in front. I sit down on on of the bean bag chairs.

"So what video games do you have?" I ask Carter picking up a controller.

"You like video games?" Carter asks raising one of his eyebrows.

"Totally" Carter plops into the other bean bag chair and puts in Halo.

"You know how to play Halo right?" Carter asks.

"Yeah."

After beating Carter at Halo twice we decide to play something more calm before we eat dinner so we won't have horrifying pictures of dying people in our head while we eat. We play golf on his Wii. I suggested it, because his Wii is down stairs and Carter will probably put his arms around me "helping" me get a good shot and Cato will see it. I usually don't really play a joke on Cato when we just made up but now was the perfect time, everything was perfect for a prank, so I took the opportunity.

When we get downstairs Cato is sitting on the couch watching TV. Carter pops the Wii Sports disc in and we grab our controllers. I kick off my heels and Carter starts setting up the game.

"Uh, guys, I was kind of watching TV." Cato says.

"You can play with us Cato." I say throwing him a controller. Cato catches the controller and throws it back at me.

"No, thanks." he says.

"Cranky much" Carter whispers to me and I laugh and nod my head. "Okay, Katniss you go first."

I hold the controller the wrong way so Carter can put his arms around me and fix it, which is part of my prank.

"Oh baby, you don't hold the controller like that." Carter says and comes behind me putting his arms around me and shows me how to hold the controller.

He helps me make all my shots and I won.

"Dinner's ready" Cato's mom calls. I slip on my shoes again and Carter puts his arm around my waist and leads me outside for dinner. Carter pulls out my chair and sits next to me. On my plate there is a steak, cooked vegetables and some mashed potatoes. I lay my napkin on my lap and start eating.

"So Katniss, how've ya been?" Cato's dad asks.

"Good, Carter has been really nice. And you?" Carter beams at his compliment and Cato just glares.
