The sunlight shone through the curtains, and I relaxed in the worn-out sofa. Peeta was about to come any minute now for the tutoring, but right now, all I wanted to do was sit down and cuddle up.

The bell rang, and I jumped to open the door. Peeta stood on the threshold with a box and a bag. "Hey!" he exclaimed cheerily. He stepped in the doorway, and asked, with a tinge of excitement in his voice, "Where is Katniss?" When I shrugged, his smile dropped briefly, before coming up again. "I brought you cookies!" I squealed in delight and grabbed the cookies out of his hands. "Share them with Katniss!" He warned playfully.

I rolled my eyes. I was on full duty keeping Katniss and Peeta together. Those cookies were mine!

Peeta sat down and opened the bag, which was full of books. He began with a calculus book, and I was led into the world of math.

Two hours later, we were finished. I have to say, even if I didn't need tutoring, he was a really good teacher. My usual 94%s in class were slipping to 98%s, and once, my teacher announced to the whole class how well I was doing.

Peeta stood up, and was about to leave, when Katniss opened the door. "Hey Katniss!" called Peeta across the room. Katniss smiled a great big smile and bounced back, "Hey Peeta!" I was confused. Since when did Katniss bounce?

Peeta stood to leave, but Katniss stopped him. "Do you want to stay for dinner?" Peeta smiled and nodded. "What are you making?" he asked.

"Spaghetti." Katniss replied. I sighed in relief. Katniss's cooking tasted like vomit. And that was on good days. "Her" spaghetti was take-out from Olive Garden.

Peeta nodded, and said, "I can help you." Katniss nodded. "Cool. There's some in the pantry." Wait, what? Katniss was actually cooking? I was about to object, but then realized that they would get some alone time together, so I stayed quiet.

20 minutes later, they called me to sit for dinner. When I sat down. The doorbell rang. "Who could that be?" murmured Katniss. When she opened the door, someone stepped in. Cato.

"That's her boyfriend." I whispered to Peeta. His face slackened, and his jaw hardened. "I wasn't expecting you!" exclaimed Katniss in amazement. "I've told you all week. You should've known." He grumbled back.

Cato threw his coat at Katniss, and she just barely caught it. "Be careful, I think there is a blade in there somewhere." warned Cato in a bored voice. Katniss gasped, and Peeta's fist tightened. "I hate him." growled a Peeta in my ear. I rolled my eyes. "Join the club. The sign-up list is trailing out of the door."

"Well, at least you made dinner." Cato said. He took a seat where Peeta was supposed to sit. Cato was about to start eating, when he realized Peeta was standing behind him. "Who are you?" Cato asked. "I'm Peeta, Prim's tutor." he timidly explained.

"I always knew you were stupid." Cato spat towards me. My jaw dropped, and I sniffed. Peeta wrapped an arm around my shoulder, and rubbed it, to make me feel better. Cato turned to Katniss. "Are you cheating on me?" he roared, and Katniss flinched. "No…" she muttered. Cato frowned and said, "Then you won't mind if I do this-" He roughly pulled her to him, and kissed her.

Katniss didn't struggle, but a look of terror was in her eyes, and she was shaking. Peeta looked heartbroken, and I closed my eyes. I didn't want to see Peeta run away in sadness, or Katniss kiss that horrible man.

When I opened my eyes, Cato had pushed Katniss to the floor, and she winced. "That was good." said Cato. I was surprised Peeta had stayed, until I realized he was rooted to the ground. Peeta looked ready to punch Cato, but I warned him, "Don't. He's a police officer." Peeta clenched his teeth, but kept still.

I helped Katniss get up, and we sat down, while Peeta stood awkwardly to the side. Cato complimented Katniss on the food, and she just nodded. "I have to go to the bathroom," Katniss all but whispered, and slunk off.

"You like her?" asked Cato, now facing Peeta. Peeta's face was blank, and Cato laughed. "She cheats on me, you know?" he said while chuckling. "She charms the men, kisses them, and throws them away. She's a slut." Peeta shook his head fiercely. "Don't ever call my sister that!" I growled. Cato ignored me.

"I don't know why I put up with her. She's actually very annoying." Cato smiled and shook his head. "On the other hand, she's hot and a great kisser." Peeta tried to tune out his words, but horror was etched across his face. "Don't listen to him!" I responded harshly. "He's just playing with you!"

Just as Cato was about to respond, Katniss came back. He stood up, and pushed his chair in. "Well Kitty-Kat," he started, flinging his plate aside.

"Katniss." she interrupted. I understand why she did that. In Finnick's mouth, it sounded sweet and charming, but from Cato's mouth, it sounded threatening.

Cato narrowed his eyes and replied, "Katniss, whatever. I'm going to go. Duty calls. Goodbye." Cato opened the door, and left.

Katniss fell into the couch, and it groaned. Her face was a pale white, and her braid was messy. She coughed and put her hand on her forehead. Peeta walked over to her.
"Dump him." He commanded.

Katniss shook her head. "I can't." she muttered. "He was just cranky today." I rolled my eyes and stepped forward. "Yeah, right." I scoffed. "He acts like this everyday. You could do a lot better than him." I looked at Peeta, but he evidently chose not to look at me. "He called you a slut." Peeta growled, angry at Cato.

Katniss weakly narrowed her eyes. "He wouldn't do that." she responded a little uncertainly. Peeta was about to argue, but Katniss stood up. "I've had a long day." she muttered. "I'm going to bed." she yawned, but before she turned to her bedroom, she stopped to hug Peeta. "Thank you." she whispered. He wrapped his arms around her.

I noted that this hug was normal than friendly hugs- by about 10 seconds.

Katniss turned to her room, and Peeta stood staring at her. He was still staring even after Katniss had shut the door. I cleared my throat, and only then he started moving. Peeta gathered his things, and turned to leave. "Bye Prim." He muttered, distracted. "Bye Peeta," I replied, also distracted. When Peeta left, I was staying in the kitchen alone.

Cato was a problem. A big and dangerous one. I needed him to get away from Katniss, because I had a feeling that he was blocking the path of Katniss and Peeta's relationship.

And this time, I didn't have a plan.
