A/N: I hope all of you are enjoying this story so far! I'm having a great time writing it (because the Games haven't started) and there is more drama to come! When I said that there would be 10-11 chapters, that was before I did an outline of the entire Games so this will be 15 chapters… Oh and you probably will fangirl while reading some of this… my friend who reads my fanfics before I post them did… so enjoy everyone!
Disclaimer: (I forgot to add this last time) I don't own the Hunger Games or Glee (I kind of make a reference), but I do own the notebook where I write all of this before I type it!
ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
~Cato's POV~
When I exit the room that I was in, I start to exit the room that I was in; I start to head to the train stop.
I tap the shoulder of the person in front of me and realize that it's Clove. She turns around seeming startled.
"Oh… hey Cato," Clove says hesitantly.
"Hey. So do you think you're going to win the Games?"
"Maybe… but I'm against you, the best spear thrower in the District."
"And I'm up against the best knife thrower."
She blushes and the train arrives. I follow her inside the train and sit next to her.
"I hope you don't mind me sitting here…"
"I was going to ask if you wanted to anyway…"
"So what's your token?"
"Maybe we should go in private to see the tokens."
"All right."
I lead her into one of the bedroom compartments and we sit on the bed together.
~Clove's POV~
He wants to exchange tokens! Now he'll know the truth and I won't have to make a huge announcement.
"So what did your brother get you?" I asked.
"See for yourself." he answered.
He handed me a dog tag that said Cato, District 2 Champion on the front.
"It's nice," I admit.
"Flip it over," he commanded.
I flipped it over and I saw a heart with the initials, C.C. and C.F and the word forever inside of it.
"Is this for me?" I ask.
"Yes it is…" he admits.
"Now look at my token."
I hand him the charm bracelet and he examines it.
"I love you too Cato."
"Your parents bought a charm dedicated to me?"
"My best friend did."
"Do you think we could…."
"We could what?"
"Get together. Live. Or survive the Games together."
"But there can only be one winner…"
"And it will be you. I can't live a day without you."
"But you're one year older than me…. That means that you survived a whole year without me."
"Ever since I laid eyes on you, I knew that you were, and still are, the girl for me. I can't imagine how I can live without you now."
"I can't live without you. If I win, I wouldn't be able to go on."
"Cato, Clove, it's dinnertime!" Amy announced.
"Seriously Amy? We were having a moment!" I shouted.
"Ok good. Because only one of you is getting out of that arena alive. Might as well bond now," Amy replied.
~Cato's POV~
So I'm confused. Are Clove and I together? Or do we just really like each other and neither of us is taking this further?
I turn to clove who hasn't left the room.
"So are we now boyfriend and girlfriend?" I inquire.
"I don't know… do you want to be?" she answers in a flirty tone.
"Is that a yes?"
She plants a kiss on my cheek.
"I guess it is."
I take her hand and we go to the dining car.
"I see you two have bonded," Brutus says.
We take our seats and start eating. It is a mix of Capitol food and District 2 specialties.
"So you two, we all know your talents and ways to kill. Now the main question is what can't you do that you think may be helpful?" Enobaria asks.
"Tie knots." Clove announces.
"Use a trident." I admit.
"Of course you can't do those things; you're from district 2, not 4. That's why they're in your alliance. Along with district 1." Brutus answers.
"Are you two thinking of adding to the alliance?" Enobaria asks.
"Depends on the tributes and what Districts one and four say." Clove says.
"Everyone. The reapings are being recapped! Let's go to the living room to watch them!" Amy announces.
The four of us make our way to the couches even though I see the Capitol getting bigger in my view which each step I take.
~Clove's POV~
Now is the time to watch the reapings across Panem. While watching, I will learn who my new allies are and who I can easily kill.
Amy turns on the TV just in time to watch the District one tributes heading towards the stage.
The girl is all around GORGEOUS. She has shimmering blonde hair and emerald green eyes. She really lives up to the name Glimmer. I'm sure I'm going to like her, but what does Cato think of her? She's his typical type. Basically meaning picture perfect and flawless.
"She's gorgeous," I admit.
"Not as much as you are," Cato replies.
I couldn't help but blush at that statement. I was also relieved.
The boy, marvel or something, volunteered for a thirteen year old. He looks like guys I've dated, but not as attractive. He has curly brown hair and blueish grayish eyes. He seems like a fighter, but we'll wait until training to find out.
"He seems nice," Cato announces.
"Yeah…" I reply.
"Remember the male district one tribute from last year?"
"Can we not bring that up?"
So basically, I had a crush on the district one tribute last year. Even though I LOVED Cato, I thought the male tribute from last year was hot.
"Why?"
"No reason… look it's us!"
I watch myself confidently walk on stage and Cato lunge to volunteer.
District three was the typical district 3 tributes. They look weak, but probably can kill everyone with a wire. Trust me; somebody from their district electrocuted the tributes one year.
District four looks decent. The boy, Shell or something, looks to be about 12, and the girl, I didn't catch her name, looks like a girl from the old show Glee.
The rest of the tributes look like their typical weak selves. The only one that actually looks tough is the boy from district 11, whatever his name is.
~Cato's POV~
The tributes look okay this year. Districts one and four seem nice and strong, and the six of us will dominate.
"I think we should have District 11 as our allies," I announce.
"Only the boy. The girl looks weak and defenseless," Clove instantly replies.
"True… anyone else catch your eye?"
"No… but did you see? A girl volunteered in district 12!"
"District 12?"
District 12 has always been the joke of the Hunger Games. They haven't had a victor in 24 years, and their mentor is always drunk. So them having a volunteer is just hilarious.
"Yup. And she's a typical 12 girl. The boy looks kind of weak, but can probably lift some weights."
"How do you know that?"
"Based on the amount of muscle on his arms."
"So do you two know who you are going to add to the alliance?" Brutus asks.
"The boy from district 11," Clove blurts out.
"Well you guys are going to have to talk to him yourselves, if you wanted both tributes, then I would go to Seeder," Enobaria replies.
Brutus and Enobaria leave the compartment and the train slowly arrives at the Capitol.
"I guess it's time to meet our prep teams and stylists," Clove says.
I take her hand and we exit the train.
~end of chapter 2~
