A/N: HI! I hope no one forgot about me! Because There is no way I forgot about you guys! I've just been VERY busy and didn't have much time to type everything up. BUT I have been writing in my notebook so I have a little stockpile. Also I feel like transferring the stuff I have written from paper to my computer lets me change and perfect things.

The lights dim and Cato puts his arm around my shoulders again. I really appreciate it so I rest my head on his shoulder. Also it's so cold inside the theater and he's keeping me warm. Cato is basically shoving handfuls of popcorn in his mouth while I'm eating a few at a time. This stuff is really addicting.
The movie starts out with a girl who looks awfully familiar to Katniss. This girl is hunting in a forest trying to get food. Eventually she ends up in a futuristic city that is forcing her to fight against 23 other kids like her. At the end of the movie she finds a way around the rules and makes it out of the arena she was trapped in with the boy that likes her.
Once the movie ends me and Cato wait for everyone to regroup outside of the theater room. Me and Cato got there first since we were the closest to the exit. Cato doesn't say anything to me, we just look at each other and smile.
"So what did you think of the movie?" Cato asks his voice sounding a little dull.
"It was really good! I thought it was a little freaky how some of the actors look like out friends."
"Really I didn't notice. Well anyway are you ready for the rest of tonight?" I look at Cato and he has a sly smile.
"What do you mean?" I ask a little too nervously. "I thought we were just watching a movie?" It doesn't really matter what we do because I am enjoying the time I'm spending with Cato.
"Well I wanted to take you to some place special and Clove is having a sleep over at her house." Cato answers.
"Ok I'll do whatever, but let me call my dad real quick." I reach in my pocket to take out my phone, But Cato stops me.
"You don't have to. I already talked to your dad about sleeping over and he said it's fine with him."
"But what if I didn't want to sleep over?" It sounds childish saying that, but I'm only kidding after all.
"Are you sure? Don't you want to spend more time with me?" He sounds like he's begging me to stay. He is too cute.
"Yes! Of course I want to sleep over! I was just kidding, I don't want to go home." Cato's eyes light up and he smiles before I even get to tell him I was kidding.
"Ok Good!" Everyone else comes comes out of the theater once he finishes his sentence.
"What a movie!" Clove shouts. She looks a little tired, but I doubt that she actually is.
"Yeah it pretty cool. I definitely need to see it again." Marvel says.
"I'm going to get going guys." Gale says sounding a little sad.
"Aw, but you're still coming over though right?" Clove asks.
"I'll try, it will probably be late." Gale answers and once he finishes him and Katniss leave.
"We should get going too Peeta we've got quite the drive." Cato says. I wonder what he means.
"What!? Where are you two going!?" Clove shouts more than actually asking.
"I'll text you, but we've really got to get going." Cato and I leave, we walk back to his car. We both get in, but Cato doesn't drive.
"What was that about?" I look at Cato, he is busy texting.
"Oh, uh nothing. The place I wanna take you is far away so I wanted to get going." He explains while driving away.
"Oh." I say plainly. I want to ask where we're going, but at the same time I want it to be a surprise. Cato turns on the radio like always, but it's not al loud this time. I'll take this opportunity to talk to him a little bit. "So...tell me about yourself." He chuckles.
"What do you want to know?"
"Um, well I don't even know your last name, so lets start there." Cato hesitates for a second before he answers.
"Snow." Snow...Why does that name sound familiar?
"Ok next. What about your favorite color?" I ask.
"Black. What about you?"
"Orange, like the sunset." His favorite color is black? Isn't that like a sign of a psychopath or something? Whatever. "How about your favorite car?"
"This one." He answers plainly. I should have known.
"How did you get this car anyways?" BMW's are quite expensive and he is a kid in high school after all.
"I work hard for my money and since it's my money I'll do what I what I want with it." Cato's tone sounds very defensive.
"Ok sorry! I was just wondering. You don't usually see a 16 year old with a brand new BMW unless they're rich." I hope he's not angry, it's a little scary when he is.
"My parents are rich, but that has nothing to do with it. Like I said I work hard for my money. And besides I'm 17, I'm a grade ahead of you. Not that it really matters." I didn't know he was that old and he's only in 10th grade, but then again I'm 16 and only in my first year of high school.
"So what do you do for work then?" I ask since I'm a little curious how he makes all this money.
"I uh...I work for a senator." Oh his job involves politics. I hope he isn't money and power hungry like some of those people. I shouldn't think like that.
"I guess that's all I have to ask for now. Well actually one more. Are we close? I don't mean to sound impatient, I'm just a little tired. I don't want to accidentally fall asleep on you." He laughs once then takes a quick look at me and goes faster. We're on some back road out in the middle of no where so he probably won't get caught. I look at the speed he's going, it's over 100mph. It's a little nerve wracking since I've never been in a car going that fast, but for some reason I feel safe. I listen to the radio, nothing familiar comes on which isn't surprising since I don't really listen to the radio much any more. Only when I'm in Cato's car. 20 minutes go by with out any of us saying a word. Cato is still speeding on a back road
"We're here." Cato says, his voice a little raspy from not talking. Cato pulls over on the side of the road. He gets out and starts to walk over to my door. I'm already half way out by the time he gets there, but he still hold his hand out to help me get out.
"So where are we?" I finally ask. Waiting all this time has been killing me.
"You don't recognize it yet?" He asks. He walks over to his trunk once I'm out of the car and takes something out. "I'm sure you will soon. Follow me." I do as he says, would I not follow him? We both climb over a wooden fence and start walking on a hill. I look up at the sky. It's so clear tonight, it's very pretty.
"If I'd known we were going hiking I would have worn something different." I hear Cato laugh to himself. All these small hills are tiresome.
"This looks like a good spot." Cato gives me a childish smile. His teeth are very white. they are so noticeable even right now. He lays down the blanket he got out of his car. " Come sit with me." He pats a spot right next to him. I sit down right next to him so our sides are touching. He's so warm, I love it. "Do you recognize where we're at now?" He looks at me while I look around.
"No." I rarely leave town so I have no clue where I'm at, but I'm not going to tell him that. "If you left me here I would never find my way back." Cato laughs to himself.
"It's the place in the drawing you gave me!" He sounds surprised and relaxed at the same time. I look around again. He's right! this look almost exactly like my drawing!
"How did you know this place existed? I just randomly thought of this place for my picture."
"My father would drive down these roads sometimes and I would always be with him. He said the scenery is so beautiful here." I do agree with his father, it is very beautiful out here. Cato lays on his back and looks up at the stars. I lay down right next to him, almost on top of him. He puts his arm around me again and his warmth returns. No one says anything, we just gaze at the stars for a while. "Peeta, about what I said earlier, I take it back."
"What do you mean?"
"This is our first date." I look at Cato, he's still looking at the stars. His face doesn't have a flaw on it. He turns his head and looks at me. I stare into those incredible eyes. There're so beautiful and mesmerizing, to bad it's too dark to see how blue his eyes actually are. I don't want this moment to end. "Can I...kiss you?" He asks. I think it's very sweet of him to ask before he kisses me.
"Of course." We both lean in and kiss. after a second or two I feel his tongue trying to enter my mouth. I let him in, this experience is so foreign to me. He pulls away after a few seconds. I didn't want to stop, but I needed to breathe. "Cato...I really like you."
"I really like you too Peeta." When Cato says that I honestly feel in heaven right now. I break my gaze with him and go back to look at the stars. After a few minutes go by I hear my stomach growl and Cato laugh afterwards. "Are you hungry?"
"I guess so, I didn't even know!" How embarrassing and mood killing.
"We should head back so you and I can get something to eat at Clove's." We both get up and go back to his car. He puts the blanket in his trunk and gets in the car. He turn's it on and I hear the soft purr of the engine once again. After spending all this time in his car I'm starting to want one myself.
We pull up to a house that I assume to be Clove's. Cato turns off his car and gets out, I don't. I want to see if he opens the door for me. Cato walks over, opens the door and holds out his hand. I've never seen anyone as chivalrous as him. I get out and thank him. We both walk up to Clove's front door and Cato knocks. A couple seconds later Clove opens the door.
"THERE YOU GUYS ARE! Everybody has been waiting for you!" Cato and I both walk in while Clove makes up go deaf.
"Sorry Clo we lost track of time, but we're here now." Cato says while Clove escorts us to her living room. Clove's house is quite huge, not exactly a mansion, but still big. When we get to her living room I see Glimmer and Marvel watching t.v. Gale isn't here though. "Do you have anything to eat? Me and Peeta are starving."
"Not yet I ordered some pizza, but the guy is taking forever! He better be here soon, if not then he isn't getting a good tip. Gale should be here soon also. Too bad Katniss couldn't come." Clove says.
"Why can't Katniss come? And why is Gale acting so weird?" I ask. I didn't mean to be so blunt, but I have been wondering for a while.
"Well. After Katniss's father died she hasn't been stable. Gale has been looking after her, Her sister and Gale are the only people who can calm her down. Katniss needs both of them. And tonight wasn't a good night for her." Clove tells me.
"But I thought that Gale wasn't seeing Katniss since they broke up since she is...unstable?" I hesitate on that last part.
"No who told you that? If anything I think they both love each other now more than ever." Someone knocks on the door the second Clove finishes her sentence. Clove gets up and runs to the front door. From what I hear it's the delivery guy, which is good. Clove comes back with two boxes of pizza. "I got cheese and pepperoni. Also Gale texted me, he's not gonna make it tonight." Clove puts the boxes down on the coffee table in the middle of the living room. Everyone including me sits down around the table. This kind of reminds me of little kids huddling around a teacher for story time.
"Clove you knew I was going to be hungry, so why did you get only two boxes?" Cato asks almost sounding like he's mad.
"Don't you think she learned her lesson from your eating frenzy last week?" Marvel says and everyone laughs. I don't get the joke so I feel a little awkward being the only one not laughing.
"Aw come on Marvel you ruined it!" Clove runs back to the front door and a few seconds comes back with two more boxes of pizza. "One whole pizza for you Cato." She hands him a box. "And one for you Marvel." He gets the other box. "So that leaves the other two for us." I'm guessing that I'm included with her and Glimmer.
"You're the best Clove!" Marvel and Cato shout in unison. They really are like brothers. Before I know it they are shoving pizza into their mouths. I don't doubt that Cato can eat a whole pizza, but Marvel? No way. I take a piece of pizza and start eating before I look like a weirdo looking at everyone else and not eating. I get full after my fourth piece.
"Alright guys now that everyone is basically all done eating, what movie are we going to watch? I didn't pick one out today." I don't say anything. I don't care what we watch and I can't think of anything off the top of my head.
"I wanna watch Ironman!" Marvel shouts. Cato shouts a yeah to back him up
"Honestly I don't care what we watch as long as it's nothing like what you picked last time." Glimmer says.
"Sorry okay? I thought it was gonna be good! Besides I was thinking Titanic tonight. Titanic will redeem my movie choices! How could it not?" Clove says while Glimmer sighs. "What about you Peeta, what do you want to watch? Titanic or Ironman?"
"Uh...Titanic sounds good." It sounds a lot better than Ironman. I don't know why I picked it though I know I'll cry at the end, I always do and I don't want anyone to see me crying.
"Just great! I thought Peeta would be on our side!" Marvel says sounding upset, but I know he must be joking. "Where's Gale when you need him?"
"Oh stop it. You know I'll cry at the end, that'll give you an excuse to get close to me." Glimmer says. There has to be something going on between them.
"You guys are weird... let's get this movie started." Clove says. I kinda feel bad for her. She's the only one with out a relationship. I have Cato, Katniss has Gale, Glimmer and Marvel have...something... she's the odd one out.
The previews before the movie start. Me and Cato have the love seat, while Clove, Glimmer and Marvel are sitting on the couch. Cato gets up to get a blanket for us, I think it sweet, but pointless. He's constantly warm. I get up so Cato can lay down behind me. He's completely stretched out which is surprising since we are have the love seat and not the couch. I lay down in front of him and he covers us with the blanket. I can feel his whole body up against mine, we're basically spooning. I feel so warm and safe, it feels so right being with him like this, but nothing like how I was feeling earlier. About half way through the movie I start to doze off and before I know it I'm falling asleep in Cato arms.
