Cato POV

"Cato Hadley, you are sentenced to 200 hours of community service, at 'Panem School Of The Arts. When you have completed the form, feel free to go. Have a nice day." The judge says sarcastically.

"Cato, how long did you get?" My foster mother Julia says concerned.

"200 hours, at the art school, great."

"When do you start?" She asks.

"The form says tomorrow, so I guess tomorrow."

I get into the car and we drive home, as soon as we get in the house I go up to my room and change, and fall into a dreamless sleep.


"Cato!" My adopted sister Camille says, "Julia told me to get you up."

"Camille! Go away!"

"Fine, don't blame me if your late on your first day and get longer time." She shouts and walks away.

I slip into my t-shirt, spike my hair. Put on my tracksuit bottoms and grab my trainers and walk out the door. I make my way towards 'Panem School Of The Arts.' I enter the school, I see kids playing violins, dancing, singing. Note to myself, you stand out big time. I find my way to 'Director Snows' office I knock on the door. A minute later no reply, so I just walk in, I realise he is on the phone.

"Yes Miss Coin, I will have to call you back. Good day."

"Ahh, Cato Hadley, the young offender, so you got 200 hours. I wouldn't say that is enough but its a start." He says smugly but in a posh voice.

"Excuse me? Not enough." I say kind of offended by his comment.

"I don't think you understand that 'stuff' you vandalised, although it's best to say equipment. That has cost someone their future, as it would take ten thousand to replace everything."

"So?" I say, it comes out as more of a question.

" I can see you are not to fussed, I think you should be though. Please follow me."

I follow , and he leads me to the janitors closet, "Please grab a bucket, and get to work. Good day ."

I start to walk, and then something catches my eye. A dance class, said I had to clean wherever, so why not take a look? I walk in and I see some students practicing then one girl catches my eye. She has long black hair tied into a ponytail, shorts and a crop top on. I see her friend look at me, and then speak to her. She just shrugs and joins in with the dance. I have got to admit, the girl has got moves I've never seen someone so small move like that, she looks flawless. She moves onto my side and waits to jump back in.

"Hey." I say.

"Hey." She replies back, and looks away. She waits a minute and then looks back. She turns her head away fast. The class ends and I am going to speak to her until some guy beats me to it.

"Hey babe." The boy says.

"Hey Mavel, how was practice?" She says kissing him on the cheek.

"Who is that hottie over there?" The girl with the braid says, "Is he new?"

"Him?" That guy, I think he is called Marvel says, "He is the one who trashed our school."

"Oh right, um lets go?" The girl with the long black hair says, she takes one final glance at me and walks away.


I walk outside and I see my boy Thresh and Thom outside.

"No way!" I shout pointing towards the car "Where did you get that!"

"Outside the off license!" Thresh shouts as he turns on the radio, my tunes come on and I start to street dance.

"Go Cato, go Cato, go Cato." They both shout as I do some flips, and some turns.

I look up and see the girl looking out the window, when she see's me looking at her she immediately walks away.

"Cato man, you coming?" Thresh says.

"Community service remember. I'll catch you in a bit."

I walk back into the school and see the girl with the braid talking to the girl with the long hair, they hug and walk separate ways. I walk past 'braid girl' and she says "I saw you checking her out."

"What?" I say.

"You checking my friend out."

"Whats your name?" I ask.

"Katniss, what is yours?" She says folding her arms.

"Cato."

"Well Cato, nice to meet you." She says adjusting her braid. "Don't worry about Marvel by the way, he is all bark and no bite."

"I gathered that anyway, bye.. Katniss"

"Bye." With that she walked away, I gathered Marvel wasn't a threat anyway.

I get back to cleaning, I forgot to ask Katniss what her friend is called, I sign out with and walk out the doors.
