Don't count me out.
Chapter 5
*Hey! Yeah don't be afraid to review, I like hearing what other people think about my stories. Thanks :D*
I got up earlier than Marion, since she wasn't at my door telling me it was time to go. I headed into the shower and changed into a similar outfit as yesterday. By the time I was done Marion knocked on my door and I opened it, I followed her and we went and got Cato before going to the elevator to back to the training center. Tomorrow was our private sessions and then later that night we had interviews. When we got to the training center everything went as usual, after lunch though I was brushing up on some plant identification skills when I heard a commotion and I knew who's voice it was coming from. Cato. I headed over to where they were and he was about ready to kill the district 6 male over a knife. I saw the peacekeepers trying to stop Cato. I grabbed his arm and dragged him away from this mess.
"Cut it out! You're acting like a flipping child!"
He shoved me backwards and it really made me mad.
"You don't want to make an enemy of me, Cato. I will take you down the first chance I get, if you don't cut it out."
I walked away from him and looked back once, he still looked ticked off but he stood there trying to calm down. I went over to the camouflage station and started to do what the teacher said. Pretty soon I was joined by Peeta and the district 12 girl. Peeta spoke to me first.
"You handled that pretty well."
I nodded
"Yeah well when you live next door to him and he's one of your best friends you figure out how to deal with him."
The girl spoke up after that
"You lived next to him?"
I nodded
"Yeah."
She looked at me and then said
"Your hair and eyes, they aren't found in district 2. Where are you from?"
I set my tools down.
"I'm from district 2, my mother was from district 12. My father was from district 2. I took after her only in looks."
Our conversation was cut short as we were told that we could go so I got up and said goodbye before heading towards the elevators, this time I managed to get one with Cato, we were actually alone this time.
"Seriously what the heck were you thinking?"
I looked at him and he looked at me before saying
"He took my knife and I wasn't putting up with it."
I almost shouted at him.
"It doesn't matter! You could have gotten in some serious trouble!"
He turned away.
"Yeah right, trying to replace a tribute takes forever."
I didn't even bother with him anymore, the elevator got to our floor; I got out and went straight to my room. He was such an idiot sometimes.
I changed into some different clothes and looked out my window at the capitol, they had such an easy life and they didn't have to worry about their kids being sent off to fight to the death. Nope that's what we had to deal with.
I looked at my clock, it was 6:30. I guess it was time for dinner, I don't know why Marion or Enobaria didn't come to get me so I headed to the dining room. When I entered the room everyone was already eating.
"What. No one can come get me?"
I grabbed a plate, got some food and sat down. No one answered me, I finished my plate of food and still no one answered me, it made me somewhat angry.
"Will someone answer my question?"
I slammed my hands on the table and stood up, knocking the chair over. Still no one answered my question; I grabbed my plate, threw it at the wall and stabbed the fork and knife into the table. They all looked scared except Cato. He didn't even bother looking up, I turned around, kicked the chair out of my way and headed back to my room. On my way to my room I slapped a vase off of the table causing it to shatter and kicked the shards of glass, I also kicked the wall before I headed into my room.
"Why the heck wouldn't anyone answer my question?"
I asked myself when the door closed; I was so angry that I could just take Cato down myself right now. I walked over to the window and just looked out the window; I had been standing there for at least twenty minutes before I heard my door open. I turned around and saw that it was Cato.
"What do you want Cato?"
He took a step forward.
"What the hell was that? What were you thinking?"
I stepped forward.
"I was pissed because no one came to get me for dinner! I like to eat too you know!"
Cato looked at me and said
"No one got you because they were thinking of your plan for you when you get in the arena!"
That didn't make me any less angry.
"So I can't be a part of that conversation!"
I was shouting at him now, he just shook his head and left the room. I collapsed on my bed and then I realized that there was a cut on my hand from when I slapped the vase, a shard must have come up and cut my hand when I kicked the glass. I shrugged it off and went to sleep.
