Cato's POV:

"Clove.."I say approaching her once again,This time in the training center"What do you want?"She snapped back at me..Ok so that answered my first question,She was definitely still mad at me"I just want to talk.." I try and explain as calmly as i can while putting my hand on her shoulder,which she quickly shrugs off."Oh come on now don't be that way."

"I can be whatever way I want,Thank you very much.."She mumbled just loud enough for me to make out" I don't get why you enjoy being so difficult with me,I'm trying to help you here. " "Help me with what exactly?Because right now you're doing nothing more then causing me trouble." "Well.. "I start while stopping to take a deep breath"Well?" She immated me while smirking. "Look Cato. " She said before picking up another one of her knives and throwing it in the center of the moving target"I don't like being mad at you,quite frankly i find it quite exhausting considering how persistent you are.. If you actually want to talk it out fine, Go right ahead.. I have no problem with it..But only after we are finished training. Deal? "

"Deal." I respond almost immediately. She gives me half a smile before picking up afew more of her knives and once again throwing them,she aced the first few but the last three ended up missing the targets completely, She responded to this with a groan. "I thought you were the girl who never misses.." "Well you must've thought wrong then I suppose..And maybe I must've thought wrong too. "She muttered the last bit of that sentence under her breath"I'm definitely hopeless if you're better at my own thing then me.."She said with an over exaggerated sigh. " Well I have been practicing.. " "Oh really? " She said,quickly perking up as a small grin spreads across her lips"Let's see what you've got then.. Shall we?"

"If you insist." I reply with a shrug, Looking back at her one more time before picking up one of her knives and flipping it over.."Clover" was carved into the front of it..I'm just going to assume that she's relatively possessive when it comes to her knives,The truth was that over the time that she had spent recovering i hadn't picked up a knife even once.. But i didn't want her to know that for quite obvious reasons..

"Go on then..What are you waiting for?.. Oh I know,Do you want me to hold your hand? "She sneered catching the attention of a few people who were training near the knife throwing station"Maybe I do."I say teasing her.

"Just..throw the knife Cato-"She says quite obvious abit irritated with me"I've forgotten how."I reply with a smirk."I thought you've been practicing.." "Well quite obviously I haven't." " Are you trying to waste my time Cato Hadley?"She questions placing her hands on her hips while doing so. "I don't know Clove Kentwell..am I?"I say kneeling down to her height." Apparently so.."She replies with a scowl."You're beyond annoying,You know that?" " 'Course I do Clove,It's kind of my thing after all..One of my many great aspects."I say booping her nose despite being swatted with her hand's in return.

"Does your whole existence revolve around being bothersome?"She practically spits rather then questions while straightening up"I suppose it does.. "I retort while clenching my hand's over my heart overdramatically."I think we've done just about enough so called "training" for one day..Especially considering you won't actually let me train."She sighs,Scrunching up her nose while doing so.

"Oh hush Clovey,I know that you'd much rather spend proper quality time with me then train..Right?" I say tilting my head to the side slightly while batting my eyelashes at the girl, probably looking stupid while doing so-"..We aren't going to talk about what had happened at school then I assume?" "I had thought you'd already forgiven me."I admit hanging my head down in defeat with a low groan.

" You're lucky that I don't have the energy to argue with you right now Blondie."She said while reaching up to ruffle my hair,Which i could've easily stopped but I felt as though it was only fair to let her have this."..You know I wish that I could've stayed mad at you just abit longer..It's funny seeing you so desperate. "

What she had just said takes me abit by shock to say the very least but I suppose that since we have very little to no boundaries in our friendship it was somewhat expected.

"I wasn't desperate,not even in the slightest..Are you sure you're feeling ok Clove?"I say with quite obvious false worry. "Positive."She snapped back with a smirk,Immediately after I had asked my question"You're very sure you yourself then aren't you?" I laugh"I suppose you could say that-..But that's a good thing isn't it?"She asks looking rather flustered while doing so"Well I'm not too sure about that.."

"In that case I'm just going to take that as a"Yes Clove." "Yes Clove.." "See?Much better!"She clapped with enthusiasm."Your mood's change so fast it's almost funny..Almost-" I trail off"I can't tell if that's a bad thing or a good one-" "Maybe that's for the best.."

"Maybe..You know,For your sake" "You're such a kidder-" "Hm.. Am I now?" "Your attempt at seeming viscous is stupid.. And cute,Stupidly cute."I know I didn't say that out loud..Or did I?"Do you hear yourself right now?" "I hear myself quite fine actually.."

"Really?Because it seems as though you're the kidder here,Not me-"She says avoiding eye contact with me..Did I make things awkward between us?That's a stupid thing to ask myself..Especially since I already knew the answer.

" You know..You're not too bad looking yourself,It pains me to admit it but it's true-" "Is that so?"I ask in reply, Probably looking way more confident then i feel. "Unfortunately?Yes..Sometimes I wish you were uglier. "She replies with a sigh"Why?So it could be Easier To resist me?"I joke"No..So I could bully you about it,Good guess though Mr.Confident."She said rolling her eyes at me while doing so."Be careful they don't get stuck back there,I'm surprised they haven't yet.. Considering how much you roll them."

"Sometimes I wish they did get stuck,So I wouldn't have to see Eden's face again..What are you doing?"She said looking over to me, with a look of confusion on her face. "Trying to get them stuck..Seeing his face is the last thing I want to do-" "I'm glad I've found someone who hates him just as much as I do..God the thing's I'd do to him if he were here right now,It's safe to say i despise that boy."She muttered with her fists clenched.

" You're not alone on that one atleast.."I reply, Once again putting my hand on her shoulder..And this time much to my satisfaction she doesn't shrug it off.
