That's a lot to me and I'm so thankful!
INPORTANT QUESTION!- What are everyone's thoughts about me writing a Cato's POV?
ANYWAYS! Time for shout-outs!
Anbeedomo: Cato's POV!? Hmmmmm... I have to give it some thought, but what I have in mind might work. I would like to see how many people actually want a Cato's POV first before I put any time into it. :)

We were only at the mall for two hours until Nick thought it would be a good time for us to leave. I only went into one store and bought a navy blue button up shirt and a pair of dark grey dress pants that were quite fitted on me. The rest of the time I was following Nick, Rue and Madge giving them my opinion when they asked for it. The ride home was the same as the ride to the mall except that everyone was talking about the old clothes they could pair with the new ones they bought. Since I stayed out of the conversation I decided to stare out the window.
I tell Nick where to go so he can drop me off at my house. It's 2:15 p.m. so my parents should be coming home soon since they leave the bakery early on the weekends. I go upstairs to my room. I lay on my bed and check my phone to see if I have any texts. None, so I close my eyes and take a quick nap before I get ready for the movies.
"Peeta dinner is ready." I wake up to my dad standing over me shaking me to wake me up.
"Ok dad thanks." He leaves the room and I check my phone. 5:30 p.m. Oh god! Cato didn't text me though so I'll probably still have time to take a shower.
I rush downstairs and eat what my mother made for me. She made grilled cheese... at least she made me something. she's rarely this nice to me. I rush back up stairs after eating and get in the shower. I decide to take my time while in the shower that way I can be more relaxed. After 20 minutes goes by I get out of the shower and dry off my body with a nearby towel. I put the towel and the clothes I wore today in a hamper. I take a step out out of my bathroom and stop.
"OH MY GOD!" I instantly cover my crotch with my hands and I can feel my face become extremely hot as I stare into Cato's sapphire eyes.
"SORRY!" I see Cato turn aside and cover his eyes. I go back in the bathroom and get the towel I just used and cover up.
"What are you doing here?" I step back out. I'm still blushing and I'm also shaking because of embarrassment.
"Sorry! I texted you a few times, but you never answered so I came over. Your father let me in and he told me that you were in the shower. After a few minutes I came up in your room to wait for you. I'm sorry! I didn't know you would come out naked." I notice Cato's eyes wonder down my body a few times when he is explaining himself.
"Stop saying sorry, it's no big deal. I'm just a little embarrassed."
"From what I just saw you have nothing to be embarrassed about!" Cato has a childish grin on his face when saying that. I walk over to where Cato is sitting on my bed and grab the new clothes I bought. the whole time Cato is watching me.
"What?" Cato turns red and stops look at me. He distracts himself with his phone. I walk over to my dresser and get a pair of boxers and socks. "I'll be done in five minutes."
"Take your time." Cato says still playing on his phone. I go back into the bathroom, get dressed and brush my teeth. I come back out again and I notice what Cato is wearing. He's wearing the same outfit as me, but he has black pants and a gray shirt on. He looks really good. He always does.
"I'm ready." I say.
"Alright lets go!" Cato sounds very excited. We both go down stairs. I say good bye to my dad and Cato does too. My dad is too busy watching t.v. to look at me, but he still says bye. We both walk out the door and head towards his car.
"Wait! I almost forgot something!" I say.
"What?"
"It's a surprise. I can't tell you." I run back inside and run up stairs. I go into my school bag and take out the drawing for Cato. I go back downstairs and go outside again. Cato is in his car so I get in also.
"So...What's the surprise?" His voice is overly curious.
"Hmmm...I don't know if I should show you..." I say trying to keep a straight face.
"Pleeease!" Cato is sounding like a kid begging! It's to cute.
"Alright. I drew you something like you wanted." I give him the picture.
"Whoa! Peeta this is amazing!" Cato continues to look at the drawing. He has a huge grin on his face. "Who are these two people?" He asks still smiling obnoxiously. I start to blush.
"Um that's...you know just to random people..." I can't look him in his eye while saying that.
"Well they look awfully familiar." Cato says while starting his car. He starts driving towards the movie theater. He doesn't turn on the radio, but the silence isn't uncomfortable. "Peeta...can I ask you something?" Cato's tone is completely different than it was a minute ago. It's a lot more serious and now I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.
"Yeah of course!" I say in a positive manner in hopes to make things less serious.
"Peeta...do you like me?" Oh god. My heart starts beating out of control and I can feel myself blush again.
"I-yes, I do." I look out the window, anywhere but in his direction.
"Then can you answer truthfully. Was that really two random people or was that us in your drawing?" I look at him, he's busy concentrating on the road. I take a minute before I answer.
"It's us." I say in a voice that doesn't sound like me. He looks at me for a short second then back to the road.
"I didn't mean to make you cry! I'm sorry!"
"What!? I didn't even notice!"
"I was just wondering I'm sorry, but why cry about that?"
"I didn't know I was crying! It just happened." I answer a little harshly.
"Peeta...I like you too, so please stop crying." Cato's tone changed again. This time it's much more warming. I try to stop crying to make him feel better.
"You like me?" I feel a lot more reassured since he said that, but I'm still nervous.
"Yes I do! A lot!" I don't understand how someone like him can like me. Especially seeing how we just meet tree days ago.
"So does this count as our first date?" I ask mainly to brake any awkwardness still between us.
"Haha, not quite. Lets take things slow, we just met after all." We don't talk for the rest of the ride. Luckily we were almost there.
Cato pulls into the parking lot and parks with a group of cars far away from the actual building. He turns off his car and we both get out. We walk next to each other and after a few steps he puts his arm around my shoulders. He is so warm, it's very comforting. I look at him and smile, he was already smiling. We walking into the movie theater and go towards a group of people. I recognize almost everyone. Clove, Glimmer, Gale, Katniss is here also. I don't understand why, but I don't care. The new person here has green eyes and brown hair. he is a little taller than Gale.
"Aw you two look so cute together!" Clove shouts.
"So this is who you constantly talk about. I finally get to meet him." The brown haired boy says.
"Peeta this is Marvel, He basically is my like my brother."
"Hi Marvel." I say emptily. I'm distracted about what Marvel just said. He really does talk about about me?
"Well anyways guys lets pick what movie we're going to watch! I want to watch 'The Hunger Games' I heard it's really good!" Clove says. Everyone agrees. We all get in line to buy our tickets. I see that Gale buys Katniss's ticket for her. That's very sweet, but I thought they weren't going out. When it's my turn to buy a ticket Cato steps in a buys it for me.
"Thank you Cato!" That was very sweet of him. He just looks at me and smiles. Everyone goes into the movie theater. The theater room is completely empty Gale and Katniss go and sit by them selves and Cato takes me away from everyone else also.
"Hey Peeta do you want any candy or anything?" Cato asks while the previews are still playing. I'm surprised I got here on time even after I accidentally fell asleep.
"Not thanks." I think it's really sweet how he's treating me right now.
"Alright, I'm going to get some popcorn." Cato gets up and leaves. The second he does that Clove runs over to me from where she was sitting at.
"Hi Peeta! Ok so tell me you and Cato are dating!" She sounds a little too excited.
"We aren't dating." I answer flatly. Even though I wish we were I don't think it would matter if we were. He would probably still be as nice to me like his is now.
"You guys still look so cute together even if you aren't!"
"I know, you shouted it when we got here."
"Well it's true! What else do you want me to say? I'm going to go back to my seat, have fun Peeta!" Clove goes back to her seat and I just stay here. Cato comes back a few minutes later with a huge bag of popcorn.
"Are you good on popcorn Cato?" I think its quite funny how much he has. He must have got more for me because I know he can't eat that much popcorn.
"I like my popcorn! Are you sure you don't want any?" I have a stupid smile on my face because he is too cute.
"You're silly." I take some popcorn. I always think the movie theater popcorn taste better than the kind you make yourself. The lights dim and I pay attention to the screen.
