Chapter 4
Clove is sitting on her bed and smiles when she sees me. I sit on the bed next to her.
"What are ya doing here Kat?" She asks.
"We are having a damn sleepover!" I say and she cracks a devilish smile.
"Why? And why with me?" Clove asks.
"Well if I'm gonna die in two days I want to love a little and I've never had a sleepover! And why not with you! Your my best friend!" I say and then eye her nervously to see if she was going to kill me for calling her my best friend. She only smiles and her eyes light up.
"I've never had one either! Let's do it!" She squeals. I burst into laughter when she squeals and she glares at me then starts laughing herself. We go tell an avox what to get. Clove request; movies, magazines, make up, nail polish, junk food, 2 sleeping bags and extra pillow. The avox rushes off and brings it to her room five minutes later. I grin at Clove and we get started.
"Ok ok nails first!" Clove says then adds, "if you tell anyone about this I will kill you personally. Can't have people knowing I can act like Glimmer sometimes." I laugh so hard I have to clutch my sides. I see Clove is too. We do our nails, make up and then read magazines. We get the junk food set up then we sit in our sleeping bags and right before I press play someone barges in. I scream and Clove laughs at me. I elbow her and look up and see Brutus and Enobaria standing there smirking at us.
"Urmm.. Sorry if we were loud it's just that if I'm gonna die in that arena I want to enjoy life." I say nervously. I look at them and they smile.
"No we just heard Clove laughing and we had to see what it was cause that never happens." Brutus says.
"Shut up!" Clove says and throws a pillow at him. He chuckles along with Enobaria.
"Well have fun girls!" Enobaria says and they shut the door. We watch a bunch of movies and fall asleep a little after we start the fourth one.
I wake up to someone shaking my arm telling me to get up. I just groan and put a pillow over my head. I hear another groan which I'm assuming is Clove. Then I'm being lifted in the air and thrown over a shoulder. I open my eyes and see Brutus's back and Clove on the other shoulder. We start giggling. When we reach the kitchen he puts us down. Clove and I are still giggling and Brutus chuckles with us.
"Katniss you can eat breakfast with us." Enobaria says from the kitchen table.
"Ya ok!" I say enthusiastically. We take our spots at the table I'm sitting next to Brutus and Enobaria and I don't know how. I pile my plate with bacon, pancakes and fruit. Clove sits across from me next to her escort and I notice Cato isn't here Clove must be thinking the same thing because she is the one to ask,
"Where is Cato?"
"He ate early and left for the training room." Brutus says, "probably didn't get much sleep last night because of all the giggling." Then he nudges me just as I was about to take a bite of fruit. The fruit falls off my fork and ends up going down my shirt. Clove is the first to starts laughing, Brutus starts then Enobaria, then the whole room is filled with laughter. Clove is laughing so hard she falls off the chair which makes us laugh more. When the laughter dies down I stick my hand down my shirt and pull the strawberry out of my shirt. Brutus is wiping his eyes and Enobaria is smiling with her daggered teeth.
"Well I better go get dressed!" I say, "see you in training in a few minutes Clove. See ya Brutus and Enobaria." They wave goodbye and I head to the fourth floor. I get dressed in my training uniform then I head to Finnicks room. I need to clear the air between us. We can never stay mad at each other for long.
*knock knock knock*
I wait patiently in front of Finnicks door. I don't want us to be on bad terms at training today. So here I am knocking on my brothers door waiting for him to open it. I wait a minute before I hear footsteps on the other side of the door and when the door opens I expect to see Finnick but instead I see Glimmer. My jaw drops to the floor.
"Oh Katniss yeah we just finished up I was just heading back to my floor." She smirks. I see is wearing the same clothes as last night and her hair is really messy. She shoves me almost knocking me over, "He is really good." With that comment she leaves and heads to the elevator leaving my flabbergasted. I stomp in Finnicks room and see he is sleeping. That hypocrite he yells at me for getting close to Cato yet he sleeps with Glimmer! I grab a pillow from the floor and smack him with it. He jumps up fully alert then relaxes when he sees it's just me.
"You hypercritical ass! How could you sleep with Glitter!" I scream.
"It's Glimmer." He states. This comment just pisses me off more. I hit him with the pillow again. Harder this time.
"Oww!" He yelps.
"You think I care! God Finnick! I can't believe you! Don't you have enough sex! Your the Capitols whore! God I can't believe you! You yell at me for kissing Cato yet you can screw Glimmer!" I scream.
"It was a one time thing! God Katniss you are falling for Cato! I'm not falling for Glimmer!" He yells. I can't control my anger and punch him in the face. Hard. I see that his nose is gushing blood and I know I broke it.
"I HATE YOU FINNICK!" I scream and storm out of the room I don't look back when I hear Finnick calling me. I head down to training everyone stays away from me because I'm scaring them. I shoot some arrows and get bulls eye every time. I throw knives with such force I'm surprised the target doesn't break in two. I move on to spears and throw them until my hands are blistery and bloody. When I finally turn around everyone is staring at me with wide eyes.
"What are you looking at!" I screech. Everyone goes back to there stations avoiding my glance. Glimmer walks up to me and I know this isn't going to end well.
"So Katniss can you believe it! I slept with your brother and you said I couldn't do it." She gloats. Instead of holding back I punch her square in the jaw. She stumbles back I go for another punch but a pair of arms are wrapping around my waist refraining me to hit her again. A few people go to Glimmer to see if she is alright but most of the attention is on me. I'm screaming and flailing in this persons arms.
"LET ME GO I'LL KILL HER!" I scream.
"Save it for the arena." A voice soothes in my ear. The person pulls me in the elevator and doesn't let go of me until the doors close and when they do I turn around and see Cato standing there. He pushes the button 13 and the elevator starts moving and that's when I break down and start crying. I cry my heart out. Cato holds me and when the elevator stops he carries me out on the roof. He just holds me and whispers soothing words in my ear. After I finally stop crying I look up to him and speak,
"You aren't just some heartless Career are you. You actually care for me." I say.
"Katniss I do care for you a lot and I will do anything to get you out of these games." He says.
"Cato I-" I start. Then we are interrupted by no one other then my brother.
"Katniss what the hell were you thinking! You could be in big trouble! Punching another tribute!" Finnick yells. I stand up and make my way over to him. I see he has a black eye and he is wearing a bandage over his nose.
"Yeah well if you didn't sleep with her then maybe I wouldn't have punched her! I told her yesterday that she would never have a chance with you because I thought you had more dignity then that but I was wrong and there she was bragging she slept with you! God Finnick I truly hate you! I WISH YOU DIED IN THE ARENA!"
Wait! Did I just say that...
