"I think you'd better back off little girl" Cato growls. He let's go of me and turns around to face Rue. He picks her up and slams her against the wall. He starts yelling things at her, but I don't hear. I am running towards the archery station, directly against Haymitch's orders. I pick up an arrow and bow, I aim it just over Cato's shoulder and Release! It flies across the room with impressive speed! Cato drops Rue and turns to look at me, so does everyone else. I spot Gale, he doesn't look to happy. I run to Rue, she's laying on the floor.
"Are you okay" I ask Rue
"Yah, I'm fine" Rue answers as she sits up. I help her up, when I feel someone's hand on my hip. I turn around and it is none other than the stupid, arrogant, selfish, cocky, idiot Cato.
"You have good aim" Cato says "I think you just found yourself an alliance with me. In other words, we're going to be allies"
"No we're not" I say as I brush his hand of my hip and walk away.
When the training for today is over I walk up to Rue and Thresh.
"So Rue do you think that you and Thresh would like to come over for supper tonight?" I asked.
"That sounds great. But I'll have to check with our mentors" Thresh answered as him and Rue walked away
Suddenly someone grabs my torso and pushes me against the wall, it was Cato. He was leaning for a kiss when Gale quickly jumps at him. "Stay the heck away from her or you'll have to deal with me" Gale shouts as he punches Cato in the stomach. The continue to wrestle for a few minutes, with Cato shouting things about me that made Gale mad. I felt really uncomfortable with Cato saying those things about me and everyone either staring at them or at me, so I decide to leave.
I run down the stairs and go to the floor where all the tributes apartments are and run down the hall where district 12's is. I run inside and go straight to my room, ignoring the calls from Haymitch and Effie and lock the door behind me.
"Katniss whats wrong sweetie" Effie's voice wrang through the door "I'm good at keeping secrets, I promise I won't tell"
I get up walk across the room and unlock the door. Effie walks in and asks what's wrong.
"Cato... h...he tried to kiss me an... and Gale got upset and well... you know" I start to explain, but my sentence is cut off by the sound f me crying.
"Oh. Well Gale is here if you want to talk to him" She answers as she walks out the door
"Gale ..."
"Oh Katniss come in" Gale motioned for me to come and sit on the bed "Do you want to talk about it?"
"No" I say, trying to hold back tears "I hate it here"
"I know" We share a glance and we both know we have the same feeling. We smash our lips together and begin to tear off each other's clothes...
"Gale, Katniss it's 6:15 if you guys want to go get ready, oh!" Haymitch says while he walks through the door
"Get out!" I screech as I try to cover my body with the blankets
"Um... yah ok. You two have fun!" Haymitch answers as he closes the door. From the other room I can hear Haymitch laughing and Effie asking "What's wrong? Why are you laughing?"
"Uh oh, we got caught, " Gale says as he stands up and grabs his underwear
"That was so embarrassing" I say as I reach for my bra that's hanging on a nearby lamp.
I quickly put on my underwear and my shirt and run out of the room.
"Was he good?" Haymitch asks as I run past him
"Shut up" I say as I turn the knob to my room
"Oh" I hear Effie giggle to herself
Once I get inside the room, I strip off all my clothes and jump into a hot shower. After a few minutes, I hop out and get dressed. I choose a pair of tight black pants with a fuzzy sweater over a white cardigan.
Once I'm done putting my hair into a fishtail braid I hear the doorbell ring.
"I got it!" I yell from my room. I bolt through my bedroom door and through the living room.
"Hi guys, come on in" I say to Thresh and Rue as I open the door
"Wow, your apartment is beautiful" Rue says as she
"Yeah"
Gale and Thresh go to Gale's room and me and Rue to stand awkwardly in the living room with a drunk mentor and a bubbly escort.
"Want to go to my room?" I ask as I already begin to make my way there
"Alright" Rue says as she follows me into the bedroom. I sit down on one of the plush chairs and motion my hand for Rue to sit in the other one
"So, do you think Gale and Thresh are planning to have an alliance?" I ask
"Yes, Thresh talks non stop about strategy" She answers
"Really? He doesn't seem like the talkative type" I say
"Yeah. Do you think, I mean do you think it would be a good idea if we were allies? It's okay if you say no, I just thought that with your aim with arrows and fighting ability and both our agility we could be unstoppable"
"I'd love that!" I say, a little caught off guard
