Clove POV:

I woke up bright and early the next morning which surprised me seeing as we slept so late last night. Then I realized the reason I woke up was because I felt my phone buzz in my hand. Astonishingly I didn't drop it while I was asleep. I checked to see who the sender was and what the text said.

From Cato

Good morning, beautiful. Hope you have a good day! :)

I looked at the text above that one. The one he sent last night that sent me to a night of bliss.

From Cato

Good night, my Clove. Sweet dreams. I miss you.

I decided to text him back this time. Still grinning from ear to ear.

To Cato

Good morning to you too! I trust you had a good rest? :)

Not even a minute went by before my phone buzzed again.

Yup, sure did. Dreamt about the most beautiful girl with dark hair and the most dazzling brown eyes. Too bad Charlie woke me up. I could've stayed in dreamland all day. Then again, I'd much rather see her in person. Which reminds me, are you doing anything today?

I had to stifle a giggle over that one. Oh this boy. Ever the charmer, even at this hour.

Haven't asked the girls yet. I'm with them you see. We had a sleepover party last night at Jackie's. I'll let you know once they wake up and everything's decided. :)

Kay. Oh tell them I said hi!

I will. Talk to you later!

With that, I put my phone down and got ready to start the day. I might as well make breakfast seeing as I'm already up. I made bacon, eggs, toast and pancakes which was basically all I could find that would be adequate for breakfast. I was already half way done setting the table when Katniss arrived.

"Good morning, Katniss. Would you like some breakfast?"

She answered with a nod and a yawn. "What are you doing up so early?" she asked. I took a glance at the clock and realized it was only a little past 9am. I had only slept for roughly 6 hours. Surprisingly I wasn't even tired despite my lack of sleep.

"My phone started buzzing. Since I was already awake, I thought I might as well start with breakfast."

"Who would be up at this hour on a Saturday?"

"Cato, apparently."

She stopped stacking food on her plate and stared at me as if startled by what I had just said. "Cato? As in THE Cato Morgan? Awake at 9am? And was awake enough to text?!" I simply nodded. When you put it that way it was a bit odd. Cato isn't really a morning person.

"Wow. You really know how to make a guy change his ways, Clove. What'd he say?"

"He just greeted me good morning then asked if I had anything planned for today."

"So he basically asked you out."

"Well, not really. I told him that I'm with you guys and that I would tell him what we have planned for today. If we're doing something girl related then I'm not taking him with me."

"Why not? It could be like a group date or something."

"Before we jump to conclusions we should probably wait for the others first. They'd feel left out if we just decided on our own."

About half an hour later everyone started coming to the kitchen one by one. Once everyone was there, we decided on the game plan for the day. We all agreed to go to the mall and ask the boys if they wanted to come. Once that was settled, we started to get ready. We told the boys we'd meet them for lunch at the mall food court. We took a shower two at a time seeing as Jackie's house had two full baths, one next to her room and one by the guests room downstairs.

By 11:30, everyone was already dressed and ready to go. None of us really use make-up, just a bit of powder, blush, eyeliner and lipgloss. Seeing as it was still winter, all of us were dressed in layers. Annie was wearing a skirt with black legging underneath, boots, a floral-printed long-sleeved shirt, sweater and a coat. Madge was wearing something similar except she didn't have a skirt and her shirt was loose and plain. Katniss was wearing jeans, black shirt, boots and a leather jacket. Jackie decided to be a bit different and decided that the cold didn't bother her. She was wearing a button-down shirt, black leggings, boots and a jacket. I decided to go with a sweatshirt instead of just a sweater. Similar to Katniss, I thought of wearing dark colored skinny jeans and boots. I put a plain long-sleeved shirt on and a t-shirt on top of it, just so that I had an extra layer. Being small and thin meant that I was more susceptible to cold than my friends were. Plus, I lived in California all my life where it doesn't get this cold ever.

"Ready to go?" All of us nodded. "Let's go then! Don't want to keep the boys waiting!"


It took as roughly 10 minutes to get to the mall. We went straight to the food court, not only because we thought the boys would already be there but also to start decided on what we wanted to eat because we were a bit hungry. Funny how it hasn't even been 3 hours since my last meal and I'm already hungry.

Once we got there, we found them straight away. It wasn't just because they were tall but also the huge crowd that was gathered around that area. Now I remember why they don't like going to the mall all that much. Oops.

We had a mini debate on whether or not to rid them of their suffering or just let it die down. It took a minute but we finally decided that as true friends, we would help them in times of need, no matter how fun it is to watch them "suffer". It was, after all, our fault they're in this position in the first place. We decided to use Annie as bait since everyone already knew that she and Finnick were a couple. Of course there were haters and all but once they saw dear sweet Annie Cresta they just couldn't resist her charm. The crowd slowly diminished, leaving us to be able to dine in peace.

"Thanks Annie. Saved us back there."

"And thank you ladies for the wonderful meal." You see, we felt bad for dragging them here on their day off so we decided to treat them to lunch. It was sort of our apology for getting them into that mess earlier.

"They were really sweet though. If I wasn't so hungry I wouldn't have minded. They are, after all, the reason we're still in this business." Marvel said. Always the ladies man, that one.

Everyone agreed but afterwards we decided to drop the topic. This was supposed to be our day of fun. Work is not to be discussed.

"So, where to next ladies?" Marvel asked once we were all done eating.

"Why don't we watch a movie?" Everyone agreed and started heading to the second floor where the theater was. It took a while for us to decide which movie we wanted to see, seeing as the boys wanted to watch a action/gory movie while the girls wanted to watch a romantic comedy. After careful deliberation, we decided to watch Catching Fire (AN: I know it comes out in November but just for the purpose of this story. Besides, it's more fun that way). It had romance, action and it was gory so why not? Gale was the one who got on line at the ticket booth. I was reaching for my wallet when I felt an arm stop me. I looked up and saw Cato hand over 20 dollars to Gale which would have been enough for two tickets. Then he leant down and whispered to me, "A gentleman never lets the girl pay for him. He should be the one treating her."

"Cato this is the 21st century."

"So? Rules still apply."

"I thought rules only apply when you're on a date?"

"Isn't this considered a date?"

Before I could answer, we were called by the others who had already bought popcorn, drinks and other snacks. We went into the theater and sat on the row that was smack in the middle. Best seats in the house, I would have to say. Funnily enough, without really meaning to, we sort of sat by "couple". In order from right to left there was Gale, Madge, Katniss, Peeta, Finnick, Annie, Jackie, Me, Cato and Marvel who was seated at the other end. Sometime during the movie, I felt an arm stretch and rest on the top of my chair before wrapping itself around my shoulder. I don't know what made me do it, but I suddenly found myself leaning my head against his shoulder. We stayed like that for the rest of the movie. I was so comfortable, I almost fell asleep. Of course, I had to force myself to stay up because the story was really interesting but at the same time I lacked sleep so it was really tempting. After all, it was really dark and cold in the theater. Perfect for resting. Luckily, the movie was almost over.

Once the lights were back on, we all got up and left the theater. Everyone was chattering about the movie and how excited they were for the next one, Mockingjay, to come out. No one seemed to have noticed how close Cato and I were standing. Our arms were practically brushing against each other with every step we took. We strolled around the mall for about another hour before we decided to head back to Jackie's.

Once there, we basically just hung out some more. We talked, played games, watched more movies well into the night. We also ordered pizza for dinner. The typical high school weekend if I do say so myself. The only thing missing was the alcohol which thank goodness no one got. I feared the house wouldn't look the same if we had drinks going around. For some reason though, we still ended up crashing in Jackie's living room despite being completely sober. I bet we'd regret all this chilling tomorrow once it starts to kick in that the weekend's almost over and we actually have to start working on our homework. But hey, that's the life of a student.


AN: Not really sure what to feel about this chapter. More of a filler, really. I'll try to get another one posted ASAP since I probably won't be able to go online for awhile. Midterms next week! Wish me luck! :D
