"Let me tell you a story Cato," she said sitting next to him on the stairs.
"When I was fourteen, the exact same thing happened to me when me and my, um, friends went to Ensenada.
But we were naïve back then, so we took what was coming at us, without trying to, you know...negotiate."
she laughed buttoning one of her three open buttons.
"And you got in trouble?" Cato asked.
"No actually, the officer told us to sit in the back while he spoke on the phone,
and eventually we managed to get out of there with the car, and they never found me again." She replied.
"Who drove?" Cato asked knowing Clove was way too young to have been able to take the wheel.
"My um, friend." She said as she took another sip.
He knew what she meant when she said 'friend'.
She meant an eighteen-year-old boy she probably slept with.
"And how did they not find you?" He asked.
"Well, they found the boy whose house it was, but he was so hammered he didn't remember everyone that was at his house. So I got away with it." She replied.
"That's screwed up,"
She shrugged.
She turned towards him, with a shrewd glint in her eyes.
"You know Cato, we should hang out more often," she smirked.
Cato heard the stories Peeta would tell him about Clove in school.
About how every girl would kill to be friends with Clover De La Cueva, from the freshmen to the seniors.
Not because she, Annie and Katniss were nice, because they weren't.
The second anyone looked at them you could tell, they were the bad girls whose eyes gleamed mean.
It was because all of them genes to die for, they were drop dead gorgeous, and half of it came from the way they carried themselves.
And people would kill to be a part of that, they'd kill to feel special, and they thought being part of them would make them feel special.
And as much as Cato tried, he was no different.
He was hooked to her inexplicableness, and would go to the ends of the earth to find out what exactly went on in that pretty degenerate head of hers.
"We should," he replied.
"I'll call you,"
"Definitely,"
But she never did.
A week later the boys decided to pick up Kat, Annie and Clove from their job by the beach and go get a drink.
They walked down the boardwalk before coming across a neon sign reading 'Ben's Eatery', and then they walked in through the glass doors.
They waved to Kat who was serving one of the tables before sitting down.
"Why do they work here anyway? They're all from rich families!" Cato asked.
"Clove's parents want her to have a job so that she knows what it's like to earn money,
and if she doesn't work then her parents are going to take away her credit cards and shit.
Annie and Kat promised to keep her company," Peeta said.
The two nod simultaneously.
They spotted Annie at the bar wearing a button up red and white plaid shirt, and denim shorts that seemed to be the uniform.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom," Cato announced before walking towards the bathroom.
On his way though he couldn't help but hear muffled giggles coming from the storage room.
He walked towards the partially open door and sneaked a peak to find Clove lying down on a wooden table
with her shirt completely unbuttoned, her hair a mess, her shorts on the floor, and her legs wrapped around the torso of a boy who was biting her neck.
Sorry not boy, man.
The guy seemed at least twenty-five years old, with shaggy brown hair, intense blue eyes, and a great figure.
Cato may not have admitted it to himself, but he looked like a god.
Soon enough the two noticed Cato and immediately stopped what they were doing.
"Uh, Cato," she mumbled chuckling slightly as she buttoned her shirt.
Her bare legs swiftly jumped off the table and walked up to Cato deliberately forgetting to put on her shorts.
"This is um, Ben," she continued as she pointed at the guy who stood shirtless still leaning against the table Clove was on.
Ben? As in Ben's eatery Ben? Gosh this girl has guts.
