Chapter 13- Pool Time

Cato's POV

We all entered the change rooms and switched into our swim clothes. I was wearing red with thin black stripes swim trunks, Finnick was wearing lime green ones, Peeta was wearing a pair of blue with white stripes, Marvel was wearing plain black ones and Gale was wearing a yellow that faded to white the closer it reached the top.

We walked to the pool and waited for the girls. They came out one by one. Annie was wearing a green bikini with white hearts, Clove was wearing a black bikini with red polka dots, Johanna was wearing a purple one piece, Glimmer was wearing a yellow bikini with sparkles all over it. Madge was wearing a baby blue tankini and, lastly Katniss came out wearing a forest green bikini.

I continued looking around until I found myself being pushed backwards in to the pool along with the rest of the guys. Annie pushed Finnick, Katniss pushed Peeta, Clove pushed me, Madge pushed Gale, Glimmer pushed Marvel and Johanna just stood on the side snickering at us.

I landed in the pool backwards with a huge splash, but I was already planning my revenge. I, being the smart person I am, quickly turned around, grabbing hold of Clove's foot, and dragged her in with me. She attempted to scream, but it got muffled when she got pulled further down by Finn, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

We laughed and saw the girls laughing too. Finn and I locked eyes and nodded our heads, thinking the same idea. We quickly swam over to the middle of the pool and vanished underneath. Finn and I can hold our breaths for long periods of time, so we were going to trick them and 'disappear'.

About two minutes later, we heard a scream from above, but it was muffled by the water above our heads. "Where's Finn and Cato?" Glimmer screeched alertly.

I tried not to laugh knowing I would only end up snorting in bubbles and I needed every last breath I could get. We could see the morphed forms of the girls above the water starting to look around and ended up running out of the pool area searching for us. I swam up to the surface and Finn arrived shortly afterwards, gasping for breath in between the chokes of laughter. We swam to the edge of the pool where the rest of the guys were doubled over laughing.

Annie's POV-

We ran everywhere searching for Finn and Cato while the guys just hung back at the pool. First, we searched the whole area around the pool, then we made our way towards the school.

"They were just there!" I yelled, worried sick about what might have happened. I turned the corner when a thought suddenly popped in to my mind.

"Guys, wait." I stopped, my head reeling from ideas.

Glimmer came up to me looking concerned. "What is it Annie?"

I looked up and said, "They can't have exited the pool; We were standing by the entrance. They must still be there." I turned around and started trudging back to the water.

"But we checked the area around the pool," Clove added, speed walking to talk to me.

"True," I stated. "Have we checked in the pool?"

As realization suddenly dawned on the girls faces, we all started walking back to the pool planning our revenge.

Finnick's POV

We were still laughing when, suddenly, Peeta turned to Cato and I and spoke in a playful, and urgent tone, "Hide! Hide! The girls are coming!"

"Sh*t!" We both cursed and ducked behind the shack filled with pool equipment.

"Okay, where are they?" Annie demanded.

"What do you mean?" Marvel asked. "You went looking for them."

"Yeah, well, we did some thinking."

Peeta gasped loudly, feigning shock.

"Oh shut up Peeta. " They all laughed and Annie continued.

"Anyway, we thought that the boys couldn't have left the pool area since we were by the entrance and nobody passed us. And we noticed that we never actually looked in the pool. So that's where they were, and maybe still are." I then heard Annie dive in to the pool and Cato snickered.

I heard a splash and Annie said, "What the heck! Where the hell are they?" Her frustration was evident in her voice.

"What? They're not in there?" Katniss questioned.

"Nowhere. Unless…" I heard her exit the pool and held my breath. Suddenly, Annie's head popped around from the corner of the shed, and she instantly yelled, "Aha! There you are!"

We moaned and followed Annie around the shed back to the group. The boys all laughed, but the girls, oh the girls. If looks could kill, Cato and I would be long dead. All of a sudden, smirks appeared on their faces. My smile faded and Cato and I started to slowly back up. The girls advanced on us, and we soon broke in to a run. They reached us and pushed us into the pool.

I landed in the freezing water with a huge splash, and fell to the bottom of the pool. Once I resurfaced, I noticed that the group had left us here, alone. I looked to the right and noticed Cato staring at entryway in disbelief.

"Well, we've learned one thing," He stated. I gave him a questioning glance. "Payback's a pain when it comes to the girls." I felt the water splashing against my chin as I bobbed my head in agreement.

I swam to the edge of the pool and lifted myself up, then hoisted up Cato. "I wonder where they went," I said.

"Well, let's go find out then," Cato replied and we dried ourselves off, then walked off. The first place we tried was the tennis court, then the skirts of the woods, then we finally noticed that our next period was about to start.

In harmony, we both yelled, "Crap!" then ran off in to the buildings.

I hurried down the hallway to Socials class and made it just as the bell went. I walked to the back of the room where Katniss and Peeta were snickering.

"What was that for?" I pestered them as I sat down in the chair next to Katniss.

"Well, it was all the girls' idea," Started Peeta. "And we just went along with it and headed to class." He started laughing, "You should have seen your face! It was priceless!"

I sighed and slumped back in my chair while Katniss and Peeta carried on with their conversation.

An hour later, Katniss, Peeta and I were on our way to my room where we were going to hang out for the rest of the day. Once we reached the door, I opened it to find that Cato, Gale, Johanna and Annie were already there. Peeta and Cato eyed one another but then diverted their eyes from each other. I went and sat in the lime green bean bag chair and said, "So how were all you guys' classes?"

They responded by moaning and mumbling, "boring." I nodded and just watched the constant glaring between Peeta and Cato.

Hmm...

Clove's POV

Madge, Glimmer and I were on our way to Gale, Peeta, and Finnick's dorm, deep in conversation.

"So, it's obvious that all the guys like Katniss," I nonchalantly said.

"Except for Marvie! You can tell he's moved on," Madge added in.

"Yeah," Glimmer agreed. "So who do we think that we should help get together with Katniss?" We all pondered the thought for a few minutes before Glimmer suddenly burst out "Peeta!"

I imagined Katniss and Peeta as a couple and I have to admit, they did seem like the perfect couple.

"Madge, what do you think?" I turned to her

"Definitely Peeta," She said sternly, her eyes distant.

"Okay, it's agreed. We will help Peeta and Katniss get together!" We all squealed and continued on our way to the guys' dorm.

Katniss's POV

We all talked about random things such as classes, the pool and what movies we should watch tonight, while waiting for Madge, Clove and Glimmer. Every once in a while, Cato, Peeta, and Finnick would look at me. It was getting kind of nerve racking. I have to admit, I do have a slight crush on Peeta. But it does get kind of weird when three boys are constantly staring at you. I wish that Peeta would at least feel the tiniest bit way about me as I do for him. It'll never happen; he doesn't deserve me. He deserves better.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Who is it!" Peeta yelled. I suppressed a laugh.

"The pizza man!" Clove yelled.

"Sorry, we didn't order any! Come back another day!" I couldn't help myself. I burst out laughing and ended up sliding off the couch and onto the floor covering my mouth with my hand and my other hand cradling my arm.

Cato laughed. "You okay Kitty-Kat?" I abruptly stopped laughing and glared at him.

He laughed and put his hands up in surrender. "I retreat!"

I continued laughing while Clove, Glimmer, and Madge walked in the room carrying five boxes of pizza. "Oh, so it was the pizza man," Finnick exclaimed.

"More like the pizza women," Gale corrected.

"Ha! Yes!" Finnick replied and they high fived.

"Boys," I muttered, rolling my eyes.

Finnick looked over at me and raised an eyebrow. "You did not just insult the sex god?" It was more like a statement than a question. I just laughed and the girls set the pizza down on the table.

"Pizza!" Peeta yelled and grabbed three slices of pepperoni.

Clove, Glimmer and Madge were staring at me and then looking at Peeta.

What is with this group today?

I ignored them and grabbed a slice of Hawaiian.

"So guys, I think we should watch a horror movie!" Annie ecstatically suggested.

Glimmer shrieked and hid behind Clove and Madge, tugging her hair in front of her make-up caked face.

We all laughed at this and Gale said, "What's wrong with a little horror movie Glim?"

"T-t-they're sc-scary. Why can't we watch like a romance or a comedy?" She questioned, still crimpling with cowardice behind the girls.

"Eew! Gross!" Gale exclaimed, a visible shiver going up his spine.

Finnick went over to the movie shelf and brought out a horror movie. "How about the Grudge?" He asked.

We all agreed, while Glimmer was still hiding.

Peeta and I decided to make the popcorn.

We entered the kitchen and Peeta went to the cupboard, grabbing three bags of popcorn from the top shelf. "Do you know how to make popcorn Kat?" He questioned.

I laughed a hearty laugh and replied, "No! If you ate my cooking, you'd be drop dead on the floor in two seconds." I snapped my fingers to emphasize it.

"Oh, come on. It can't be that bad."

I raised my eyebrows at him and said, "You want a bet 'Mr. I Can Cook'"?

He faked a look of hurt and put a hand over his chest. "Hey! What's with the nickname?"

"Well, you seem to be able to cook."

"Yes. And I enjoy making bread and pastries too." He playfully stuck out his tongue, making my heart secretly melt a little inside.

"Fine. I'll call you... Bread Boy then. How's that?"

He scowled then said, "Well, it's better than the last one."

"Okay, its settled Bread Boy; I can't cook."

"How about I teach you how to make popcorn?"

I shrugged. "Sure."

He grabbed a huge bowl from the cupboard and placed it on the counter. He then handed me a bag and said, "First place the bag in the microwave and put it on for one minute." I did as I was told, when suddenly we heard Glimmer scream from the TV area.

We laughed and Marvel yelled, "You guys done the popcorn yet?"

"Not yet!" I yelled back.

The microwave beeped and Peeta said, "Now take it out carefully by the tips since it's going to be hot." I took it out and placed it on the counter. "Okay, pull the tips open and poor it in to the bowl." I poured the popcorn into the bowl and did the same to the other two bags. Once I was finished, Peeta and I brought the big bowl of popcorn in to the room and watched the movie with the rest of the group.

After about eight hours of movies, we all decided to head to bed. We threw the pizza boxes and popcorn kernels into the garbage, and swiftly put the movies back on the shelf. I headed back to my dorm with Madge and plopped on the bed without even bothering to change.

So I hope you guys liked my extra-long chapter! It took me about a week to write because I've been so busy.
