Cupcake looked around and sighed "Cato this is not funny." She walked out of the store and looked around. He was no where to be seen. She started walking around the shops. She stopped occasionally to admire the shops displays. Her feet started to get sore so she took a seat on a bench. Where the hell was Cato spoke quietly. She heard a bunch of laughing and cocked her head to the side. She saw Cato with a bunch of his friends laughing their heads off. "Shit" she muttered under her breath. How long had they been watching her. She narrowed her eyes at Cato. A tall boy beside Cato yelled over to her "Hey Cupcake not like your regular Capitol shops." he howled with laughter. Another boy mocked her "Where's the pink and the sink" Furious Cupcake stood up and walked up to the boys and shoved them both then glared at Cato. "Piss off." Both boys raised there hands in mock defense. "Not any good boys to jump in bed with" the tall boy laughed.
How the hell did they know about that. Without thinking Cupcake slapped the boy across the face, leaving a red hand mark. Cato and the other boy's mouth dropped. The one she slapped rubbed his face and turned back to Cupcake. He glared at her and shooved her down onto the ground. She scraped her arm along the pavement and blood started dripping down her arm. She forced her tears back as she stood up. The tall boy snickered at Cupcake. Totally embaressed Cupcake glared at the three of them before running home. She allowed the tears to come out. She looked down at her arm which was in a lot of pain. She got inside and Natasha was there "What the hell happned!" she gasped running to Cupcake.
"It was nothing. I slipped and fell" she sobbed. Natasha sat Cupcake down at the table. She cleaned the long scrap and wrapped a bandage around her arm. Cupcake wiped her eyes. The front door opened and Cato walked in. She couldn't look at him. When Natasha left to go get something to help the pain, Cupcake threw the plastic bag at Cato. The bag that held the jeans. She sobbed and ran upstairs. She quickly texted her dad 'I wanna come home. Please daddy' x
There was a knock on her door and she looked up "Go the hell away" she was surprised when Cato walked in. She burried her head in her pillow. Cupcake heard feet shuffle then felt a hand on her shoulder. She knew Cato was trying to comfort her. She shrugged him off and sat up "GO AWAY" she barked. Cato looked at Cupcake with sad eyes. Before she could hide her face more tears came. Cato stood up and walked out. This made her cry harder. She wiped her eyes as she heard her phone buzz. Dad: Baby girl I'm sorry but you can't until you have learnt your lesson. Try and call sometime next week x'

The text from her dad had upset her. She knew he had a point but wanted to go back to the Capitol so bad. That night at dinner Cupcake had sat in her room. She couldn't face Cato after snapping at him. She hated him for this afternoon but at the same time thought he had come up to say sorry. She closed her eyes shit tight to gather her thoughts. A soft knock on the door snapped her out of them. Claire came in "Hey I know your upset but I was wondering if maybe we can do each others hair" she beamed. Cupcake laughed softly and patted the bed. Claire jumped on and sat beside her "Is that a yes? Or a no?" she laughed. Cupcake smiled "I'd love to" this sent Claire into a small dance of joy "Thank you" she ran off and came back a few seconds later with two brushes, some clips, hair ties, hairspray and a straightner. Cupcake sat Claire down and started doing a cute fish plait. She smiled "It looks great Claire." Claire stood up and looked in the mirror. "I love it" she ran up and hugged Cupcake "Thank you. Thank you." Cupcake kissed her forehead "You are very welcome ma'am" This sent a giant smile across Claire. She took out a camera and smiled "Take a picture with me?" Cupcake nodded in response and they both posed for the camera.

Cupcake soon started school in district two. She hated how everyone stared at her in funny ways. After a few days she made two friends. There was Nora and Luna. Nora had short ginger hair. Her face was covered with freckles and she had greyish blue eyes. Luna on the other hand was the total oppisote. She had long, thick, brown hair and amber eyes. She had very tan skin and was drop dead gorgeous. Luna was also a flirt where as Nora couldn't talk to boys that well.
On Cupcake's fifth day of school she walked into art class. She sighed and looked around. The teacher suddenly tapped her shoulder "Hello you must be Cupcake. I'm Mrs Trinket" she chirped loudly. The room fell silent and some people started whispering to each other. Mrs Trinket looked quiet young and must have been a Capitol girl at some point of her life. Cupcake gave a small smile . Mrs Trinket looked around and pointed at a seat "You can go sit there" Cupcake turned her head and gasped. She was going to be sitting beside Cato. She narrowed her eyes at him. She took a seat and looked away from Cato. Neither of them had talked since that day she'd been shooved down. Mrs Trinket instructed them all to draw a garden. Cupcake smiled and got to work. She concentrated hard and didn't even notice Cato watching her draw until she looked up. "Cato stop staring" she whispered. He smirked at her "That's amazing"
Cupcake rolled her eyes "No shit" she looked back down at her drawing. She ignored Cato for the rest of the lesson.
The bell went which indicated lunch. She rushed out not wanting to speak with Cato. Half way down the hall she bumped into Luna "Oh hey Cupcake" she smiled. Her eyes suddenlly darted up and she stepped back "Hulk alert" she whispered. Cupcake turned around to see Cato strolling up to her. She bit her lip and swore her heart skipped a beat. Sure she was still mad but those eyes. They were so intimidating. He stopped in front of her "Why'd you rush out?" he asked. Cupcake breathed in "I-i wanted to catch up to Luna" she pointed at the girl standing behind her. Cato smiled at the two of them. Cupcake felt awkward standing there. "Alright" and he strolled off. Luna grabbed Cupcake's arm and dragged their heads down "Damn that boy is fine. How can you live with that and not do anything about it?" Cupcake stepped back laughing. Luna folded her arms "Come on doll. I saw the way you were looking at him" Cupcake blushed that she had seen that. "Let's just go get Nora and eat for christ sake" she smiled and dragged Luna down the hall
