Don't count me out

Chapter 3

When we were release out escort and mentor came and got us, they immediately brought us back to our floor. When we got there I was still a little dazed from when he kissed me and barely found my room. When I got in my room I changed out of my clothes and into a simple tee shirt and pants. I collapsed on my bed and smiled, I was defiantly falling for him.

About an hour or two later I was called to dinner and I headed down to dinner. I was sitting next to Enobaria, Cato was sitting next to Marion, our stylist soon joined us and we watched the recap of the chariot rides. We all silently ate our food before I broke the silence and said

"So much for your tough guy attitude."

Cato laughed and said

"Yeah, I guess I'll have to enforce it tomorrow in training and in the games."

I nodded and thought to myself 'Yeah the games. The games where we will be pinned against each other. Great.' I finished eating my dinner and they bought out dessert, it was a cake big enough for everyone at the table, it was decorated with what seemed to be flowers and rocks. I took a medium slice and began eating. Everyone was engaged in conversation when I finished and headed towards my room, I didn't want to have to fight against him anymore. I wanted to go home and pretend that everything was normal and just watch the games with him but nope. That's not what the capitol wants, they want action. Just because Cato kissed me and I blushed doesn't mean that I want to lose so those other tributes better not count me out or they have another thing coming.
