Why him? (Cato love story)

Chap. 1

I wrote this story a while ago and refound it so, No hate :)

"Amanda! Get up, Cato and Clove are here waiting for you to walk to the reaping with them!" My mom yells.

"Coming!" I walk down the stairs and find Clova and Cato standing near the front door.

"Ready?" Clove asks.

"Yup!"

"Mandy... can I talk to you privately?" Cato asks.

"Uh, sure."

I walk out of the room with Cato and into the living room.

"Me and Clove decided that if you're reaped Clove will volunteer. I will also be volunteering."

"What!"

Cato just looks at me waiting for me to calm down.

"You guys can't do that! Cato I love you. You can't volunteer."

"I love you too, so does Clove... not that way, but this, we're doing it."

"Fine! Let's go."

"Welcome! To the 74th annual Hunger Games! May the odds be ever in your favor. Ladies first!" The lady says.

I was really scared this year. I know, I'm from district 2 but, I don't like the Hunger Games.

"Clove Gold!" She calls out.

"I volunteer!" I yell running up to the stage.

"Mandy! No!" Cato yells along with Clove.

"What's your name?"

"Amanda Gold."

"Now, for the boys." She reaches in and grabs a piece of paper. "Cato Ludwig!"

Cato runs up to the stage before anyone can volunteer and hugs me.

"Okay, to the justice building!" The lady says.

"You okay Mandy?"

"Yeah but what about Rosemary?" I asked. Rosemary was Cato's little sister. He takes care of her because his parents died. They were peace keepers.

"Clove will watch her. Until we come home."

"What do you mean "we". There is no "we". There is only one winner."

"I'll find a way to get us both home. I promise."

"Okay... Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I will not let you get hurt!"

"I love you Cato."

"I love you too Mandy."

"Come now children!" The lady says. I should really learn her name...

"My name is Ellie! My sister is stuck with District 12, poor her. Her name is Effie, anyway. I'm Ellie Trinket, I will be here to help you. As well as Embaria and Brutus. They're your mentors. Amanda your stylist will be Artemis and Cato yours will be Jupiter." Ellie explains.

"Off to bed!" Brutus says.

"Night." I say.

"Goodnight, beautiful. Love you." Cato says.

"Love you too Cato."

I walk into my room, get pyjamas on, shorts and a tank top and went to sleep.
