A/N: Yay! I updated faster this time (just for you guys) lol. School's almost over omg. Just for you guys to know, I'm pretty young. I'm not an adult yet, I'll tell you that. Anyways, thank you to everyone who reviewed in the last chapter. If you are an FF user and I didn't respond to your review in PM, you may yell at me or do something. I'll be responding to the guest reviewers at the end of every chapter (: Okay, I'm going to stop talking now but I need to say the disclaimer first.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything besides the plot and Xavier - yeah that's right, I own him (; - the rest belongs to Suzanne Collins.

Warning: There is swearing in this chapter (near the end). We need to clean Cato's mouth with a bar of soap lol xD

Enjoy this chapter!


Previously on Chapter 18:

"We need a plan. I will continue to stay with the Careers and both of us have to act cold to each other if we want to stop Glimmer and her evil schemes. When the time comes, we'll find a way to put her down. You in?" he asked with a hint of playfulness in his voice

"I'm in." I cracked a smile. It's game time Glimmer.

The next morning, I hopped out of bed and went through my normal routine: wake up, get ready for school, eat breakfast, and then walk to Finnick's house. My car was still at the car shop being fixed. Hopefully, I will get my baby back soon then I wouldn't have to be snuck in the car with Finnick and Cato every morning. Don't get me wrong. I love Finnick but not Cato. I walked up the steps into Finnick's massive home and before I could ring the door bell, Finnick already opened up the door.

"Kitty Kat!" he exclaimed and pulled me into a bone-crushing hug.

"Hello to you too Finnick," I said. I pulled myself out of his arms when a cough interrupted us.

"Oops. Sorry, was I intruding?" Cato asked. His hair was spiked up; his eyes were bluer than ever. What made them stand out what his shirt. It matched the color of his eyes.

"No, I was just hugging a really hot girl before you interrupted us. You weren't intruding at all," Finnick said sarcastically, "And oh by the way, I loved your outfit Kat." Finnick smirked and I rolled my eyes and slapped his arm. He jumped up as my hand came in contact with his tanned arm. "Ow!" he yelped. "What was that for? Don't girls usually love compliments?" he complained.

"That was for being a perv and this one," I slapped him again, "is for hitting on me when you have a girlfriend." He rubbed his now red arm.

"I'm sowrey Kitty," Finnick apologized in a little kid's voice. He can be such a baby sometimes. Another cough came out. Both of us turned around to see who it was. Standing behind us was Cato. Oh yeah. I forgot that he was here. Oops.

"Can we get going because I don't want to be late for school you know?" Cato said in an annoyed voice. He grabbed Finnick's car keys and unlocking the car door. I went up close to Finnick's ear and whispered:

"Someone's grouchy today."

"I think something crawled up his ass and died." Finnick whispered back. Both of us giggled.

"What's so funny?" Cato asked seriously.

"Nothing," we both said.

"Come on. I'll drive you little kids to school. Get in the car," Cato commanded.

"Okay daddy," Finnick said, trying really hard not to laugh. I smiled. All of us got into the car and Cato drove us to school. When we got to school, Cato tossed Finnick his keys back and we all headed our separate ways.

School was boring as always. I was so glad when school ended, but disappointed when Cato decided that he would make his daily trip to my locker afterschool.

"Hello Kitty Kat," Cato purred.

"Don't call me that," I snapped, closing my locker.

"Why do you let Finnick call you that then? If he can do it then why can't I do it?" he asked while a glint of playfulness in his eyes.

"Because Finnick's different," I stated.

"How so?" he advanced towards me. Not this again. I shuffled over to my right.

"He's special," I said, not wanting to say anything more.

"What can he do that I can't?" Cato challenged. I didn't answer the question.

"Why do you want to know?" I shot back.

"Because," Cato took another step towards me, this time putting his arms on the lockers right beside me, to block my chancing of escaping. His face started inching closer to mine. I glanced around in panic trying to look for someone. "You'll soften up to me. One day, I will be able to talk to you and you will become putty in my hands; a total lovesick girl."

"That's never going to happen,"

"We'll just have to wait and see. You'll come around eventually." His hot breathe tickled my ear. I scoffed. "I think we should do some more research for our project. I'll call up Xavier." Cato whipped out his phone and dialed Xavier's number. Then he pressed his phone close to his ear. After a few seconds Cato said:

"Hello?" Xavier said something through the phone that I couldn't hear and Cato stifled a laugh. "Alright man. Hey Katniss and I are at school right now, wanna come with us to the library to do some more research on our dumb project?" I hear a muffled noise. "Okay, okay. Meet us there in 10, got it? Alright see ya," Cato pressed the end button and shoved the phone back into his pocket.

"Come on, we need to leave now if you want to get to the library on time," Cato beckoned. Normally, I would object, but I wasn't in the mood to argue today.

"Okay," I agreed. Since my car was still being repaired, I got into Cato's car.

We parked right in front of the same old, shabby library. I glanced around and immediately saw Xavier's shiny, navy blue pickup truck. When we walked in, Xavier waved for us to come over.

"Hey Cato," Xavier greeted completely ignoring me. I was mad for a second, but then I remember our plan. Xavier looked at me. "Oh hey Katniss, I didn't see you there," he spat.

"Xavier," I grimly said.

"Okay then. We finished most of the research but we need a bit more. Katniss, show him the notes," Cato commanded. I obeyed and took out the notes we took then handed them to Xavier. Xavier scanned them quickly and said:

"Okay, I already got some book we can use," Xavier showed us the books he found. All of the books were colorful and bright.

"What information do you need Cato?" I asked him.

"Um- just interesting facts," Cato replied. I nodded and we each took a book to read.

We stayed at the library for hours, finishing up our project. We finally got it done at around 6PM. When we finished, Cato and I got into his car and Xavier got into his then we all drove home. Cato drove me back to my house. During the car ride home, we made some small talk. I replied in short answers because I didn't want to talk to him. Despite the small talk, one point of our conversation got pretty intense.

"Cato?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"Did you figure out who ran you over?"

"No."

"So you don't have a clue at all? Did you see what the driver looked like?"

"No."

"Do you remember anything that happened before the car accident?"

"No."

"Not even a little bit?" I asked, trying to contain my composure. I tried my best not to cry or blow up in his face. Wow. He still doesn't remember that we used to date. Even after everything we've been through, the hints that I've given him, he still doesn't remember. The person must have run him over hard.

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT OKAY?! STOP TRYING TO GET INTO MY PAST. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME AND MY PAST!" he yelled, his jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed on the road. He sharply jerked the car around the turn. I couldn't hold my anger back anymore.

"YOU KNOW WHAT! I WAS IN YOUR PAST. I WAS THERE WITH YOU BEFORE YOU WERE IN THAT ACCIDENT. I KNOW TONS OF THINGS ABOUT YOU. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE AN OLDER BROTHER NAMED COLE AND TWO YOUNGER SISTERS NAMED COURTNEY AND BRIANNA. I KNOW THAT YOUR MOM DIED OF CANCER WHEN YOU WERE 3. I KNOW THAT YOUR FATHER IS AN ACHOLIC. I KNOW THAT-" I was about to continue until Cato cut me off. He abruptly stopped the car.

"HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF?! DID FINNICK TELL YOU?"

"No"

"THEN HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?" he spat. Some of his spit flew into my face. I looked up into his eyes. They were very dark blue. His eyes were like a weapon, the piercing look in them could have caused some serious destruction. I just stared at his red face for a moment not saying anything. "GOD DAMNIT! ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION KATNISS! I NEED AN ANSWER. HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?" His hands slammed against the steering wheel causing the car to honk as if it yelped in pain. There was a battle going on through my head. I didn't know if I should tell him or not. I hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, closed my eyes, then spoke.

"We used to be in a relationship before your car accident."


Oooo, Katniss just confessed. What do you think Cato's reactions going to be? Review your answers or PM them to me (: Remember, reviews give me motivation to write faster because they show me that people actually care about my story and want to read more of it. It would be a waste of time and effort if I made a story and nobody liked it -.- As always, I will try to update the next chapter as soon as I can (: Bye! Review please; I might update the next chapter if I get 10 reviews! And if the FF users review, I'll send them a sneak peek of the next chapter (: This is going to happen to every one of my chapter from now on. The review doesn't have to be long and wordy, just a few simple words is fine.

The next update might take a bit longer because there is something wrong with my wrist right now. I'm probably going to wait a couple more days and if the pain continues, my parents are going to bring me to the doctors that get my wrist checked out. Don't worry, it's only a minor thing; nothing big at all.
