Author's note:
Hey Everyone! Thanks for all the wonderful reviews. Okay, sorry if this chapter gets a little confusing….or a lot. I'll be changing from Cato and Katniss' POVs from time to time. But it will say who is saying which.
And for this scene to make sense, let's pretend that there's a wall. There's a wall separating the elevator and the training room. And there's a door. Okay?
Sorry. I'm not good at describing these things. xD
Also, I apologize for Katniss' ranting at the last part.
Again, I am open to suggestions. Basically because I have no clue on what will happen next after this chapter.
Read and Review! But please take it easy on me -_-
Okay. On with the story!
Chapter 2
Katniss' POV
"I'll meet you outside?" Peeta asked.
"I'll be staying for a few more minutes. You can go on without me." I told him.
"Are you sure? I can wait. Haymit-"
"I know what he said, Peeta. I just need some time alone. Please?"
Peeta thought for a moment then nodded.
"Alright. I'll be off then." He said.
Then he left.
Cato's POV
"Hey, I heard 12's staying" Marvel said.
"And the boy?"
"Gone. Good luck, bro"
"Yeah. Now get the fuck out of here!"
"CATO!" Clove shouted as Marvel left.
"What?"
"I'm leaving"
"Go. I'll be there in a few minutes"
"Whatever" She said then left.
"Well well well. I guess I'm staying" a seductive voice said from behind me.
I turned around to see Glimmer, The girl from 1.
No.
I grabbed her by the shoulder and she cried out in pain.
"" I told her.
She smirked.
"Fine. But I will have you. And what were you and Marvel talking about a while ago?"
"None. Of. Your. Business. Now get out!" I said, shoving her inside the elevator.
"Fine. I'll just get Marvel to tell me. We have this special bond you know?"
"Just fuck off"
As the metal door closed, her smirk was still visible.
God that girl was fucking annoying.
Katniss' POV
I heard the elevator's last 'ting' and concluded that I was alone.
The bow and arrows stood by the side.
My want for those were so bad it made my hands itch.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I held my hand out to reach for it.
I studied it for a while and took a shot.
Embarassing.
I missed the dummy. Missed it by an inch!
I was glad no one was there to see that.
"Huh. That's the best you can do, fire girl?" a voice from behind me said.
Startled, I turned around and pointed my arrow at the person.
It was him. District 2 boy.
"What do you want?" I asked immediately.
He raised both his arms, as if to surrender. I, on the other hand, still pointed my arrow at him. Letting my guard down was not an option.
"I just want to talk" He said.
"I don't talk to your kind"
He laughed. Did he take that as a joke?
"Calm your tits, fire girl. I'm Cato." He said, pulling out his arm.
I dropped my bow and arrow, played along and shook his hand.
"Katniss. Katniss Everdeen" I stated.
"Tell me. Do you think you can win?"
That question took me by surprise.
"Yes. And I will win" I said.
I didn't want to be seen as a weakling by other tributes. Especially by a career. That would only make me an easy target. Correction. More of an easy target.
"You have no chance of survival if you shoot like that" he said.
Anger rushed through me.
I took the bow and arrows from the ground, aimed it, then…Bullseye!
I looked at him. His face a bit surprised.
I tried to look like it was nothing but I couldn't help but smile.
Cato's POV
A perfect shot. Now, did that impress me? To be honest-it did. A bit.
Initially, I didn't think this girl was good at anything but she proved me wrong.
A smile escaped her lips. She'd probably done this before. A shot like that took skill.
Or was it just luck? Sheer dumb luck.
She turned to me. "How about a shot like that?" she asked
I need this girl wrapped around my finger. But first of all, how can I charm a girl that is clearly disgusted by who I am? Plus, how can she trust me? I'm a career. I'm not loosing this bet. I'm determined to win this as much as I'm determined to win the games.
I will get this girl's virginity. Trust me. I will.
I brushed my blond hair with my fingers and put on my best and most charming smile that always got the girls back at home to deliver themselves to my bed.
She turned bright red. Good. I advanced and she stayed at her place.
"That was quite impressive, fire girl" I smirked.
"Quite? And tell me, what can you do that's so impressive"
I was ready to tell her my skills with the sword but what I did next surprised even me.
I stepped closer, placed one of my hands on her cheek and pressed my lips on hers.
What's more surprising? She kissed me back.
It was sloppy, I have to say. Her first kiss? Maybe.
But that was good. I'm sure I'll get her in bed within the week.
I pulled back first and looked her in the eyes.
Grey eyes. Grey innocent eyes filled with confusion.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Katniss" I told her, and then I headed outside.
She stood there. Her eyes fixed on me as I left.
The elevator door opened. I got inside and pressed the number 2.
In less than 15 seconds, I landed on my floor.
My trainers and Clove stood in front of me, arms crossed.
"And what the fuck have you been doing?" Brutus asked
Oh fuck.
Katniss' POV
First kiss. I just had my first kiss.
It had been what I had always imagined it to be: Soft and filled with innocence.
But was it perfect? No. Of course not.
Had I imagined it to be with someone I just met minutes ago?
No.
Had I imagine it to be with someone like him? A career? A career who'll end up killing me in the arena?
Of course not!
But did I enjoy it? Did I want more? Did I feel absolutely frustrated when he pulled back?
Yes. Yes. And yes.
When he kiss me, I just wanted to kiss him back. I wanted to kiss him and never pull away. His soft lips on mine and his hand on my cheek.
I just wanted to hold him. To kiss him.
Nothing about him looked gentle or even loving.
But the way he kissed me…I was wrong.
My heart literally skipped a beat when he smiled.
My feet felt like it was glued to the floor.
My brain told me to back away but my body betrayed me.
I stood still when he advanced and…kissed me.
'I'll see you tomorrow Katniss" he said
He called me Katniss.
Not fire girl.
Again, my heart skipped a beat. Maybe two, when he said my name.
'Snap out of it! He's playing with you" said a voice inside my head.
Great! Just great! I'm going crazy!
'Snap out of it!' it said again
Okay, the voice inside my head is right.
He's a career. He's out to get me.
And I won't allow it.
I'm going home. For Prim.
Liking someone is not an option.
'Wait! You don't like him! You do not like him. He's nothing to you and you're nothing to him.' The voice said
Alright alright! I don't like him-I think.
Dammit!
No. I don't like him.
I don't. I don't.
And he doesn't like me
But why did he kiss me?
'Dimbo! I already told you that he's messing with you didn't I? Now just go back to your room!' it said.
"Oh shut the fuck up! I already have Haymitch telling me what to do" I said out loud.
Yup! I'm going crazy!
Okay, I'll just do what's best for me. I'll stay away from him.
No physical contact. No talking. No eye contact. And especially no kissing!
Oh may God forbid that last part!
Stay away from Cato, district 2 tribute.
…
When I arrived at my floor, Peeta greeted me with a smile. While Haymitch shouted:
"I thought I told you to follow orders?"
I looked down, apologized then went to my room.
Tomorrow we'll meet again but nothing will happen. Nothing….
I hope.
Author's note:
Okay some of you sent me questions:
1. Is Marvel trying to sleep with her as well?
-No. Just Cato. Sorry.

-Okay. She told me she can't anymore but she probably has her own reasons for it. Oh well. Let us just abandon that story xD
Well that's actually the only questions I got xD
