Chapter Two.

Cato POV

Yay. Start of the school year. Don't I sound excited? My alarm beeps telling me I need to get ready for a run. I shut off the annoying beeping. Over the summer Dad has been pushing me even harder than usual.

"CATO! GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUT OF BED! TIME FOR A RUN!" Dad yells. I groan and pull myself out of bed. I make my way downstairs. Yawning I make my into the kitchen, my sister Maia squeals loudly making me wince since she is a 5 year old yelling at 6 o clock in the morning.

"Cato! I'm starting school today Can you believe it? I'm so excited!" She giggles. I laugh, peck her on the top of her head and sit down at the table. A few moments later dad comes in to tell me to get running.

Five minuets later I am jogging down the street. I really should have put on a shirt. Ah, oh well. I run for about twenty minutes and return home to Maia's high pitched screams and the laughter of my parents as dad tickles Maia's tummy. I laugh at the sight of my family.

I head up to my room to take a shower and change. I meander back downstairs to get breakfast, after helping Maia pick out an outfit like I do everyday; Dad is ready to drop us off at school. I give mom a peck on the cheek and a hug, take Maia's hand and close the back door.

"Yo Cato." My best friend Marvel says as he saunters up to me. "Hey man." I reply coolly. Marvel and I have been best friends since I moved. I moved away from my best friend. I still miss her. I'd give anything to see her again. "Cato! Dude!" Marvel yells in my ear. "What?" I asked, slightly annoyed. "Check out the new girl. She's hot!" he says whistling under his breath. I turn around to see who the 'new girl' is and my heart stops.

It's her.

"Yeah, sure. Have fun. I'm going to my locker." I say walking off. "I will" I hear him reply. I roll my eyes. Such a Marvel thing to say. I follow the bobbing braid. I need to talk to her. I spot her at what must be her locker. I decide to see if she will notice me, so I just keep my back to her. The warning bell sounds before she notices me. I turn around and she meets my eyes. So she did notice me, I think to myself.

"Cato?" she asks. "No. I'm his evil clone." But she's already running at me. I envelope her in a hug. "Cato. I can't believe its you." she says once we break apart. "Like wise. I've missed you so much Kat." she smiles. Oh, her smile. "I've missed you too Cato." she looks at me. "Where is Room 206?" she looks so cute when she's confused. "Right this way Miss Everdeen." she laughs. I lead her away to our mathematics class.

We walk in the door just after the class bell rings. Ms Trinket welcomes Katniss and tells her to find a seat. She follows me. She looks like a lost puppy. Oh, she's so cute. I missed her so much. I lead her over to my friends. She seems to fit right in. "Mr. Stone. Hush now. I am starting my class now." Ms Trinket says from the front. This is going to be a great year.
