A/N OMG I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! I know that this isn't a good excuse but I have just been so busy lately and I haven't been able to read any fanfics till late at night on my phone. School started about 3 weeks ago and we are doing some sort of hybrid school… It is a little odd but it is better than being stuck at home! (in my opinion) I also tried out for a soccer team! And guess what…. I MADE THE TEAM! So yeah, I have practice 3 times a week and I just haven't had the time to write! Also my dog got pretty sick last week, but he is doing better now. Okay okay, enough of my excuses. Hope you enjoy the chapter!

Katniss POV:

It has been a week since I started school. I haven't talked to Cato since that incident at lunch. I keep thinking about why he was staring at me and smirking. He is just trying to get in your head, don't think too much about it, I keep telling myself. I haven't texted him yet about either of the projects that we somehow got stuck with together. The one Mr. Beetee gave us is due on friday and we haven't started it yet. Mom is at work and Prim is at her friend's house for the night. I really don't want to have to do it last minute so I decide to just text him and see if he wants to start the project.

Katniss: Hi

I decide to start with just a hi and see if he even responds. Almost immediately i get a text back.

Cato: Hey there ;)

Katniss: Its katniss and I wanted to know if you wanted to start our science project

Cato: sure, when were you thinking?

Katniss: right now, cause its due on friday

Cato: anything you want, where do you want to meet?

Katniss: you can just meet me at my house

Cato: k, cool. See you soon kitty kat ;)

I send him my address while scowling at the nickname. I pick up the house a little bit and clean my room. I don't want him to think I'm a slob. Then I go downstairs and wait for him. After about 10 minutes I hear a knock on my door. I get up and open it to find Cato standing there with his signature smirk plastered on his beautiful face. Stop Katniss! You cannot be thinking that, especially with him right in front of you! I immediately scowl at him.

"You know, you look better when you don't have a scowl on your face," Cato says as I let him in.

That only makes me scowl harder and he chuckles lightly. I walk to my room to get my stuff but he follows me. Looks like we are gonna do the project in my room then. I sit on my bed and pull my science stuff out of my bag. Cato plops down on bed and pulls out his stuff too.

"So, do you wanna do the writing part or the drawing part? I'm not too good at drawing but you can choose first kitty," he says as he flashes me a cocky smile.

"First of all, DON'T call me kitty. Second of all, I can the drawing I guess. But only because i'm not that good with words," I tell him as I glare at him.

"Whatever you say, kitty," Cato says while ducking as I throw a pillow at him.

We both get to work and after about an hour, Cato has to leave. I lead him out to the door and before he leaves he says, "Thanks for texting me kitty, that was fun!" I give him the bird and he chuckles while walking home. He must live close by if he walked all the way here.

Annoyed by the nickname, I walk to my room with a scowl on my face. It's Sunday, 9 P.M and I am bored out of my mind. I finished all of my homework for school, already ate dinner, and I am not tired. I decide to call Annie and just see how she is.

"Hey Katniss! How are you doing?"

"Hey Annie, I'm good. How are you?"

"I'm good, just finishing up some homework. What are you doing?"

"Nothing, I just started my science project with Cato. He came over and we are almost done, so I won't have to see him for much longer,"

"Awww, you two would look soo cute together!"

"*Gag* gross! He is so arrogant, and cocky, and annoying! Why would you even thing I like him?"

"Oh come on, I saw him staring at you when he was dancing to that song last Monday! And I didn't see you look away,"

"Yeah because if I looked away he would have thought I was weak. In case you didn't notice, I was glaring at him,"

"Yeah yeah, sure you were. I saw you checking him out. You may not like his personality, but he is totally into you! And he isn't too bad to look at,"

I feel heat build up in my cheeks as I blush at the whole conversation with Annie. Well, he is pretty handsome, but that does not mean I like him!

"He is not into me!"

"Hey, you didn't deny that he was hot!"

"Okay i have to go now Annie, you are almost as annoying as him right now!"

"Sure sure, you still didn't deny it though, bye see you tomorrow!"

"Bye"

I quickly hang up and decide to go to bed. Is Annie serious? Cato does not like me! He just likes annoying me! That's why he was staring at me at lunch last week, he was just trying to get under my skin! I do not like him, i mean he is cocky, annoying, arrogant, and annoying. Yes I said annoying twice! I think about all of this as I drift off into a dreamless sleep.

I wake up to my annoying ass alarm and I go into the kitchen. Mom is already at work so I grab some cereal, get dressed, and leave. On my way to school I get a text. It says it is from Cato…

A/N Hey guys! Thank you so much for reading! Sorry that it is so short, but I promise to try and update sooner. Let me know if you have any ideas on what should happen next or if you just want to tell me that you like it! See you soon!
