Cato's POV:

I check my alarm and think, 'oh shit' I'm late. Clove is going to kill me, I shove on my clothes and run to the arts school. I enter the school and run up the stairs, I get to the studio and their is a bunch of ballet dancers practicing. A blonde with fish plaits in her hair winks at me, I slam the door and walk up the corridor. I hear somebody singing I push the door open and see that jerk 'Marvel' singing. He has an alright voice, but it's not the best. I see Clove sat there with some other boy.

"Clove, hey i'm so sorry I'm late." I pant from all that running.

"Sorry, well that doesn't cut it Cato!" She shouts arms folded.

"Well, can we go and practice now?" I ask.

"No Cato, there is other dancers in their now."

"Well..um" I scratch the back of my kneck awkwardly.

"Just go man, no one wants scum like you around." Marvel laughs.

I start to go for him, until someone grabs me and pulls me back. He leads me out of the studio, and shuts the door.

"Wow man, as much as I wanted to see that I couldn't let it happen." The other boy says, he was sat with Clove before.

"And you are?" I ask.

"Finnick Odair, and you?"

"Cato Hadley." I say as I shake his hand.

"Mate, I've known Clove all my life, and when she gets pissed, she does. Marvel is a jerk, and very self centred. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. Especially not about Clove."

"Why is she still with him then?" I ask.

"You tell me, I think she is waiting for the right moment to break up with him." Finnick says.

"Where abouts you from Finnick?" I ask.

"New York, rough area's though."

"That's where my boy Thresh is from, I live in a rough estate, sucks doesn't it."

"Anyway, I better go back in. Clove will get over it, eventually. See ya later." Finnick nods closing the door.

I walk down the corridor and see Katniss, I think she is called talking to the blonde ballerina. The blonde points at me and giggles, Katniss turns around.

"Oh hey Cato, how was practice? This is Glimmer." She waves me over. "Do you know where Clove is?"

"Clove? How come he is with her, thought she is with Marvel?" Glimmer, says.

"I am her dance partner, well kind of."

"He is filling in for Clove's dance partner." Katniss explains to Glimmer.

"Well, I kind of missed practice, and she is pissed."

"Hey, i'll go and talk to her, where is she?" Katniss asks.

"Music, with Marvel and Finnick." I say laughing.

"Be right back."

"Hey, I'm Glimmer."

"Cato." I smile.

"So what are your intentions with Clove, may I ask?" She says, her green eyes glistening.

"Um..nothing? To rehearse, and help her in the showcase?" I say shrugging, this Glimmer is quite intimidating.

"Good, I have got to go to my next class, see you around...Cato."

I see Katniss coming back laughing, "She is proper pissed with you Cato."

"I gathered that, why does she take this really seriously? You don't seem too."

"Well, I am a dance major, and something else, but Clove this is her dream, to get into the biggest dance company in New York." She says smiling. "She is really annoyed with you though, be careful." With that she walked away.

Clove's POV

I am in the dance studio, waiting for Cato to come for our practice, after he slipped up yesterday he better be on time. I start to practice, an hour later he has still not shown up. I grab my bag and coat and leave the studio.
I walk through the corridors and I see Finnick,

"Hey Finnick! Have you seen Cato?" I shout.

"Sorry Clo, I haven't." He shouts back.

I carry on walking and check everywhere, I guess he hasn't shown up. I never should have trusted him. The corridor seems endless, everyone is leaving as their day is ending. Only the showcase people stay, but seeing as I haven't got a partner I may aswell go home.
I walk outside and I see Cato cleaning the steps, all my anger builds up and I shout

"Cato! I cant believe you, you stood me up again! I trusted you, and you just threw it all away! You don't understand how much this means to me!"

"Well, I guessed you didn't want me around after yesterday, so I thought there is no point anymore." He shrugs.

"No point! No fucking point? Cato my whole future is ruined if I don't get this scholarship! Thanks a lot, Thanks a fucking lot!" I storm off into the cold, not looking back.

I walk to school the next day alone, Cato isn't there I don't care really. I walk in and see Finnick talking to Katniss angrily, I can just make out their convosation.

"Finnick, whats up?"

"That, I cant believe he would do that Katniss!" Finnick shouts angrily.

"Do what Finn?" Kat says.

"Marvel, he got signed. Not me, I thought we were a team, but he used me, all my tracks and passed them off as his own. He has claimed all my work, so I have to start again. I knew he had a big ego, but I never thought he would do this." Finnick says and walks away. Katniss see's me stood there, I shake my head and shout,

"I knew it." I storm through the corridors until I get to the recording studios, Marvel is surrounded by a ton of girls. "Hey baby." He smiles trying to kiss me on the cheek.

"I can't believe you! You used Finnick! All his work, you passed off as your own!"

"Baby listen, remember when we were talking about our dreams, well this is mine." He says sickly. "We planned we would do this."

"But we never said we would step on our friends to get there!" I say, folding my arms like I always do when I'm pissed.

"Clove, they handed me my dream! Something that I've wanted all my life, you don't ask questions!"

"I would." I say simply.

"You think you would, but if you were in front of the New York dance company? No you wouldn't. you wouldn't walk away." He shouts.

"No? Well I'm walking away now." I say and turn around on my heels.

"Your breaking up with me?"

"Yes!"

"This isn't about me, or Finnick is it? It's about him...Cato." He shouts back.

I suddenly turn around on my heel, "No Marvel, this is about me."

Cato POV;

I heard Clove's argument with Marvel, and I was thinking about everything she said to me, I sit on the steps outside of the school waiting for her to come out.

"Clove." I start as she walks out the doors.

"What? I've had enough of everyone.. Especially you" She folds her arms, I gathered she does that when she's annoyed.

"Please let me make this right, I am honestly sorry for what I've done, please Clove." I say catching up to her.

"Why should I trust you? I trusted you once and look how that turned out!"

"Clove, i'll do anything!"

"Anything?" She says with a smirk and sparkle in her eyes.

I didn't realise Clove's anything would be ballet! Ballet! She teaches little kids ballet, and I have to be in the class. Honestly the things I have to do, but I have to say she does look hot in a leotard.

"Plie, and stretch." She says walking up and down.

"Come on Cato, get to work." She says snickering.

I start to laugh, and the little girl in front of me, I guess about 7 turns around and puts her finger to her lips and goes "SHHH!"

This makes me laugh even more, so she turns around again and stomps her foot. I notice even Clove is snickering, "Emmeline, turn back around." she says.

"But Miss Sevina, he is laughing and distracting me!" She protests.

"Cato!" Clove shouts, "Pay attention, and do not distract Emmeline!" I notice she is snickering too.

The class ends, and me and Clove walk out of the building laughing, "No joke, I thought that kid was going to kill me or something!" I laugh. "Can I walk you home?"

"Sure, it's this way." She says, we walk I can hear the click of her heels on the pavement, we discuss everything, to favourite food, songs, drinks.

"Hey Clove? Would you like to grab a coffee? There is one on the end of this road?" I ask nervously.

"Okay, lets go." We get to the coffee shop and I hold the door open for her, she walks in and orders a latte, and a mocha. We sit down and begin to drink.

"Don't worry about paying." She says smiling.

"No way am I letting you pay." I reply, she starts to laugh, "I am not paying either."

"What? You wanna do a runner?" I snicker.

"No, this is my sisters Coffee shop, I get everything for free, just say you know me and you will get whatever you want free."

"So, are we back to rehearsing tomorrow?" I ask her.

"Yes, don't be late." She says seriously.

"Do you want to see a movie later?" I ask her, hoping she would say yes.

"Okay, but were going to have to go now, because I need to change and stuff?"

"Okay lets go."

We start to walk, we have a good time laughing and joking around, then I say "So where do you live?"

"Oh shit!" She says laughing "We've gone past it." I start to break down in laughter.

We walk back up the street and she stops at a gate, I have to say the house is beautiful.

"Pick me up at 7:30? Don't be an idiot like me and mistake the wrong house."

"Don't worry, I wont. I'll see you tonight?" I say.

"Yeah, bye Cato." She says and goes through the door.

I think to myself, 'You don't know the effect you have on me Clove Sevina' as I walk down the street.
