i dont own the hunger games
chapter 10
cato's pov
as we enter the dorms theres a group of girls bantering about how theres one king suit and who should get it. i look to the door at the end of the hall assuming that is it. i look to mark for confermation and dee he nods so i take off down the hall. but just as my hand reaches for the knob so does a little hand. i look over and see clove and a blonde girl thats a few inches taller then her. "i was here first" clove whines. "c-clove m-maybe w-we sh-sh-should g-give it to the big one" the blonde girl stutters but clove waves her off. "no way we were here first." mark finally catches up. "sup clove?" he asks. "your meat head room mate is trying to take our room" she says motioning to cato and then the blonde girl. "yo cato let clove have it dont need to die in our sleep now do we?" he says smirking at her and nudging her hip she smiles up at him and giggles."flirt" i mutterunder my breath and stalk off in search of a room. before clove can even get the door open a giant of a boy has her pinned to the wall."ill be taking tis room but feel free to come visit anytime beautiful" he say tracing a line from her chin to her shoulder then down her arm. clove suppresses a shudder."id rather not" clove spits at him. "dont be like that darling" he sas inching his face closer to hers. i run over knocking him off of her. "i gave clove this room for her not so that some jack ass like you could come take it from her. " i snarl as he picks himself up off the floor."its ok cato he can have it" clove mummbles grabing her suitcase and hurrying off to find a room. "who do you think you are?" the boy snarls at me and he is lifting his fist to punch when a tall girl with brownish redish hair and pointed teeth apears. "brutus" she hisses at him. he turns to her and smiles. "did you get us the room?" she ask. "of course i did" he says hugging her and planting a kiss on her lips. this sickens me considering her was just trying to kiss clove a few minutes ago. brutus opens the door and enobaria hurries in. brutus goes to i stop him."guys cant room with girls" i snarl punching him in the face. he grabs me by the throat. "you wont tell and i wont tell noone else will tell...so principal snow will never know" he hisses through his teeth. "whos to say i wont tell ?" i snarl though i can hardly breath. his grip tightens and i know i cant speak. "i say" he hisses" i say you wont tell" he snarls throwing me to the floor and following the girl enobaria into the room slamming the door in response.
i decide i should check on clove. if im correct thats the brutus she has issues with. i follow in the direction i saw clove go in and find her and the blonde girl lugging suitcases into a room. the room acrossed from them is open so i motion mark to come and we'll have our room there. clove smiles sheepishly at me before turning and pushing a stack of boxs into her room. i would never tell her but i feel better having a room acrossed from her that way im close if she needs help and i can hear if brutus bugs her again.
after we are done unpacking i knock on clove's door. the blonde girl opens it and smiles at me."your quite brave taking on brutus like that "she says the smile still on her face. i nod my thanks to her compliment ."you must really love her" she says her eyes looking up at the ceiling as if shes daydreaming of someone to love her. "shes my best friend's sister's best friend" i reply with a shrug. "i gotta protect her" i say that feeling in my gut fluttering again. im not going to explain this to the stranger and im just about to ask for clove when clove herself apears at the door. " as thankful i as i am for what you did earlier i dont need to be protected if been batteling brutus and the blonde bitches for years and im doing fine on my own." she says solemly."clove i" i start but she cuts me off."i get it cato...really i do...but josh may be family josh may feel the need to protect me but you...i just met you...you dont ow me anything" i nod. "ok " i say and she smiles ever so slightly. "so are we allowed to leave this building...or this floor atleast or am i stuck here all night?" i ask. "im going to the common area. its a place for all the districts to chill together i texted annie her finn josh are going to be there. jackie and jack will probs go. jo is almost always there." she pauses."mostly because the tributes(thats what we're called here)find a way to smuggle alchohal there" she thinks for awhile. "marvel may be there peeta and madge might show up maybe bring gale so you can come if you want" she concludes. i nod"wanna come chloe?" she asks back into the room"nah im good" chloe says still unpacking clothes. clove nods and shuts the door taking her key with her. we begin to walk but clove stops and turns to me a disaprroving look on her face."well dont be rude ask mark if he wants to come" she says tapping her foot and motioning to my door. "hey mark you wanna come to the common area?" i ask he nods and follows us. him and clove joke and flirt the whole way there bareley paying me any attention. when we get the mark waves goodbye and joins his friends. "so you like mark?" annie asks with a laugh. im glad she asked so i didnt have to. clove shakes her head."goodness no"clove laughs. "me and mark are just...well me and mark he jokes with me i joke with him. you know that annie" clove is on the verge of laughing hysterically so annie covers her mouth. peeta eventually shows up with the burnette and blonde sisters that got reaped into his district."clove , everybody this is katniss and prim" he announces. they look shy but annie and clove welcome them warmly into their group. i laugh as i hear them explain the blonde bitches to them and we hear prim exlaim"oh i wont be one of them" and shaking her head vigerously. peeta is stareing at the girls. "peeta? you falling for clove?" marvel asks jokingly walking up behind him. peeta shakes his head."not her" he lifts his finder pointing at katniss."her" he whispers. we all laugh and he scowls. madge and gale show up a little latter talking intently to eachother even when they arrive. johanna is there but stays with a group of kids with plastic red cups. jackie and jack never show neither does thresh or rue but then i relise rue was never on the list that clove said would come. another hour passes and clove stands up."ditching already?" i ask. she shrugs. "gotta see the guidence counslers they always likes to see me on the first day to make sure i settle in niceley expessaly now i guess with the big change in living her." she says. "clovers got anger issues so the principal makes her talk to the councilers." josh clarifies. clove scowls at him. "considering your rep they probably want to see you too" finnick say kicking up his feet."me?" i ask. "you dont think james dean let the fight you got in last year go off record do you?" gale laughs i huff "you can come if you want" clove says i laugh cause thats the same thing she said when inviting me to come to the common area. i heave myself out of the chair."lead the way" i laugh. "gladely" clove says and walks with a bounce in her step out of the room.
as we walk out of the door we pass glimmer she glares at clove them smiles at me. she stops and lays a hand on my arm."you should stay a little while longer" she says fluttering her eyes flirtatiously. "i gotta go" i say pulling my arm away and following after clove who didnt even bother to stop and wait for me. "cover" i yell after her she doesnt stop. "clove!" i yell again trying to catch up without running but she is walking too fast and has to much of a head start."cato im not stoping look behind you theres no way im stopping" she hisses only loud enough for me to hear. i sneak a peak behnd me and see brutus, enobaria and glimmer all following us. shit.
