Hey guys! Thank you for the follows and the lovely reviews! I love reading them and I appreciate them so so much!

Clove's POV

As I walk I begin to question my own motives. I know I'm not going to apologise, but why else am I practically jogging towards the Victor's Village?

When I reach the front porch my hand hovers over the door. Pull yourself together Clove, stop acting so weak. With a sharp breath I knock confidently, standing tall. Other girls would be quickly fixing their hair, smoothing their clothes; whereas I stand with my training clothes on, my hair an utter mess.

The door opens to a topless Cato. I try to stop myself but I can't help my eyes wandering to his extremely defined six pack and over his muscly arms. I look away as quickly as possible and look at his face; it is slightly pink and his hair is ruffled considerably.

"Um, I'm not interrupting anything am I?" I ask, more awkwardly than I had anticipated.

"Not at all." He says with a smirk, flattening his hair and purposefully flexing his muscles in the process.

"I can hear giggling from upstairs, Cato, I'm not stupid."

"Sorry, I can't have more than one girl at once," He says arrogantly. "Unless you're into that."

I raise my eyebrows. "You think I've come here to have sex with you?"

"Wouldn't be the first time a girls done that, as you can probably tell." He replies, nodding to the stairs.

I hear the creak of the stairs, followed by a girl dressed in, well, not much. After a moment I recognise the girl. Glimmer, I'd seen her at school, one of the 'popular' ones. She walked up behind Cato and kissed his back, obviously trying to make me leave.

Before I can say anything, Cato speaks up. "I should probably go back in; I'll see you around sometime, um..."

"Clove!" I almost shout, before calming my tone. "My name, is Clove."

I may aswell not have said anything as Glimmer turns Cato around, kissing him fiercely, and he slams the door in my face without another glance.

Cato's POV

I turn my body round and plant my feet firmly on the floor, before standing up and stretching. I walk to the other side of the room where my boxers had been thrown and slide them back on, wiping the sweat off my forehead afterwards. I struggle to put back on my trousers, hopping on one foot to get a leg in.

"Isn't it odd that you can take your clothes off so much quicker than you manage to put them back on." I turn around to Glimmer, still lying comfortably, the sheet just about covering everything. Her voice is laced with flirtation as she grins.

"Comes with practice." I reply, which wipes the grin straight off of her face.

I begin to do up my belt when Glimmer gets up, keeping the sheet around her. I go to pick up my shirt but she swipes it away, holding it at arms length. "Where are you going?"

"To train." I answer bluntly.

"But you're here with me?" Her tone oozes desperation.

"Yeah, and now I'm going."

She shoves the shirt into my chest angrily and stalks over to her clothes.

"Don't forget to lock the door on your way out. It's been fun, I might do it again." I say as cockily as I can.

She snorts irritably as I walk down the stairs, putting my top on in the process. I double knot my laces before slamming the door loudly and heading to the academy. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy doing this to Glimmer. She's the same as everyone else, is lucky to have the chance and keeps on coming back, again and again. She's easy.

As soon as I get into the academy I head to the weights, dodging through the stamina equipment along my way. Even though I had sprinted the whole way to the academy, I craved adrenaline, and so went to the hand-to-hand combat zone. This was the only place where fighting was permitted; there was a male one-on-one zone, and right next it was the female one-on-one zone.

I queue up ready and about three people in front of me I see the girl with dark brown hair, small frame and almost black eyes... Clove, yeah, that's her name.

I try to attract her attention by giving a non subtle cough, which causes practically everyone else to turn around except her. Through the wave of people I see she is talking to someone; she sways on her feet, legs crossed, occasionally licking her lips.

I look for the recipient of this flirtatious behaviour; a boy with dark brown hair, obviously also a trained career. His body is okay, but he lacks the physical appearance to get many sponsors.

I push through the queue, people murmur and curse at me as I go, but I finally manage to get to Clove and pull her out of the queue.

"What are you doing?" She hisses. "I've been queueing for ten minutes!"

"Why are you flirting with that guy?" I ask, maybe a bit too curiously.

"Why do you care?" Clove counters, crossing her arms. "You didn't seem to be worrying earlier when I could hear you and Glimmer from five houses away."

I wince, but manage to recover quick enough for her not to see, hopefully. "Just saying, he's quite a downgrade from me."

She gives an unimpressed chuckle. "It's called tactics. For the games." She says. "I flirt; he wants to ally with me. Simple."

I narrow my eyes. This girl is smarter than I thought.

I hope you guys enjoyed it, please review and follow. Also, if you are looking for a good Finnick/Annie fic to read then check out 'A storm is brewing'! Once again, thank you so much!
