i walk down the stairs my eyes scanning for any blonde bitches. and thats when i see her. shes onthe couch with cato her hand rests upon his theigh. what the hell! i scream in my head. he was on m side and now hes with her? ugh i want to scream at her to leave since this is basically my house but i know i must keep my cool. annie has stopped beside me when she relises ive stopped. she follows my narrowed eyes until she sees what i see"he was playing us"she mutters."or glimmers beauty got the best of another guy" i say rolling my eyes and heading for the kitchen. "clove!" someone calls"annie"someone else calls. we turn to see peeta and marvel heading our way. "peeta!" i squeel running to hug my long time friend who was in spain all summer. "you missed me i take it then?" he laughs. "of course i missed you noone else feeds me bannana bread" i say with a laugh."ah so you missed my baking not me" he says faking a pout. "well ya but i missed you too" i say tapping his nose. he smiles picking me up and twirling me around." well dont you look pretty" he says as he puts me down. "of course" i say"i WAS dressed by the famous annie cresta after all" i say and we all laugh a little too loud drawing the attention of the surrounding seniors including cato.
cato's pov
i turn to the sound of laughing and my eyes lock on clove. shes looks beautiful. if i thought she was beautiful at the pool she is stunning now. her sparkle belt excentuates her tiny hips and her hair is curled. her skin looks like porcalin and she's...she's standing far too close to that peeta kid for my likeing. i want to talk to her. for four reasons really. 1 to get her away from peeta(i dont know why but i dont like the idea of him touching her it makes me mad) 2. i want to here more about her and the school i will be attending. 3. shes obviously seen me with glimmer and i want to explain. and 4. i just really want to talk to her again."can i talk to you?" i ask i know she knows im talking to her cause im looking straight at her. she shakes her head. im about to ask why but then i relise who im siting with."glimmer" i say as politely as i can. "please go away" she looks at me in shock" what?!" glimmer nearly screams. "im guessing noones ever told you that but i need you to go" i say i hear annie and clove snickering at the look on glimmers face and i kind of want to laugh too. glimmer then huffs and storms away. i look back at clove."can i talk to you now?" i ask and she smiles then nods."i suppose " she whispers.
her and annie walk over and i wonder why annies there."annie has decided shes suppervising" clove says in a way that tells me she was not part of the desicion. annie nods absent mindedly her eyes trained on someone else. her face becomes a torn expression.. me and clove follow her eyes. shes stareing at a boy around my age with bronze hair and sea green eyes. i dont know him either. "go" clove tells annie pushing her towards the boy who is slowly attracting a group of girls. annie gives clove a torn look and then walks over to the boy. "who is he?" i ask clove turns her attention back to me. "only the famous finnick odair that annie has loved since we were freshman" clove says happily . "shall we sit?" i ask her as josh turns up the music so its blastng so we can barely hear anything."what?" she yells back . "do..." shes leaning her ear closer trying to here but is shaking her head cause she still cant. i grab her hand and lead her up the stairs. i only know what one room is so i lead her to josh's room. she sinks into the bean bag chair tenitivly as i sit in the rolly chair. "im not allowed in here" she mummbles i shrug. "oh well josh can take it up with me"she smiles slightly."so what did you want to talk about. ?" she asks. "well i was wondering if you could tell me more about school" i say leaveing out the part about wanting to know about her. "sure " she says"ok i know about the reaping and the games and the favorites" i say she smiles at the mention of the reaping. "im guessing you like the reaping?" i ask."its my favorite part of the first day the new kids look so scared its funny." she says. "what district did you get sorted into are you a favorite?" i ask she nods. "proud to be from district 2 the favorite of president snowshe says "is it rigged?" i ask. "nah everyone pulls a slip from the same glass ball its just fate i guess"shes smiling at the roof remembering something. "think i can win the games?" i ask she nods. "if your good with a weapon..." she says "and survival skills" i say. "just by your size you'll probably scare all the guys out of volunteering...well enless you get reped into district 2 i doutt brutus would back down..." she says her voice shaking on his name. "whos brutus?" i ask. she shudders staring at the floor it takes her awhile to answer."hes nobody" is all i get as a response before the door flys open. josh is with some girl but he stops in his tracks when he sees us. his eyes narrow at me as he drops the girls hand(to her disapointment) and grabs my shirt collar dragging me out the door. before i know it he has me pinned to the wall of the bathroom."what did i say about clove?" he snarls. "that shes off limits" i say calmly."glad you were listening now what do you think your doing. ?" hes hissing through his teeth anger in his eyes. "nothing you made it too loud to talk down stairs so we came up here." i say he relaxes a little."you shouldnt be talking to her anyways. " he snarls letting me leave the room. im a step away from the door when i turn around."hey whos brutua?" i ask and josh freezes. "we dont speak of him...expessaly not with clove around" and then he leaves the room.
