The Hunger Games! {ClovexCato}

Chapter 1, Part 3

Clove pov:

I enter my house and my dad is passed out on the couch like usual. Thank the gods, i can get ready for this dumb party in peace. In my closet i have it very organized. I walk straight to the dresses. "fuck my life" i whisper to myself. I didn't want to have to do this but i'm gonna wear the dress Em got me on my birthday 2 years ago.

my girls fit🙏🏻:

w a strapless bra underneath :))

I feel like i put way to much effort into this dumb outfit but i must admit i look sexy. Like sexy as fuck. I paired the entire thing with black heels and then i sneak past my father who's again asleep. Beer in hand and he's covered in filth. He works at the coal mine and just chooses not to shower when he gets home. It's disgusting

I don't think i could go more than a day without showering. Well, i have no choice in a few months. My car is parked in our big driveway, i haven't used it since summer ended cuz i didn't pay my senior parking spot dues. So now it kinda just sits there. It's a white bmw with my initials plastered on the back window

It's only about a 5 minute drive till i see all the flashing lights and hear the music buzzing down the streets. I think i'm a bit late cuz there are cars piled left and right down the street. I have to park in the beach parking lot. That resulted in sand getting into my shoe, making me have to dust it off when i reach the door step, im greeted by whistles and a bunch of people saying hi to me

I need a drink as soon as possible so i venture the house till i find the punch bowl, i take the spoon and a cup before downing 2 cups "whoa slow down girl!" a voice beside me says, it's just Em "come dance!" she pulls me from the table into the middle of the house to start dancing. This music is so bad and i need another drink. "well don't you look cute tonight~" i feel arms wrap around my waist and i flip backwards

And to my surprise it's the one and only Cato Hadley. "hands off jerk" i slap his hand away and i see Em blushing through the harsh neon lights "don't be so fiesty Clovey!" he moves to the beat of the song. "wanna dance love?" i cross my arms "nope. dance w Em i'm sure she'd be glad" Em slaps my arm "i'll just go find finnie" he says before walking off "you should've said something to him." i say to her "you shouldn't have said anything!" she glared at me
<><><><><2 1/2 hours later><><><><>

I'm dancing my entire heart out in the middle of the house. I've grinded on at least 5 different guys at this point. I was in the process of making it 6 until i feel nauseous. I probably shouldn't have had so much to drink. "whoa don't stop now!" the guy says as i lean up. "i need to use the bathroom" i walk away leaving him with a raging boner "Em-" i stumble to her, she's with a group of friends from school "Em help me to the bath-" she looks at me weird "uh do i know you?" she says

i squint to make sure it's Em, it's definitely her. I'd recognize that mole right above her lip from a mile away "Em it's me-" i say drunkenly "uh" her and her friends giggle before walking off, leaving me (who's almost black out drunk) to find the bathroom. "fucking bitch" i flick her off as she disappears into the crowd. When i turn around i hit someone's chest. "ow fuck!" i fall back onto my ass with a loud thump. "watvh ehe-" i can feel vomit threaten to leave my throat

"you good there Clovey?" Great, just my luck Cato is the one i bump into. He's better than no one i guess. "bathroom-" he lifts me up and careies me to the nearest bathroom where i nearly vomit everywhere. "i think you drank a bit to much" he says. I flick him off while my head is still in the toilet bowl. "need a ride home?" he asks with his arms crossed. My dad would actually kill me if i came home like this "no!" i blurt out at him "why? your totally hammered"

i roll my eyes. If i were to even step foot in my house he would be the shit out of me. "my dad- he'd kill you. he's very very strict about boys." i lie straight to his face "alright then come to mine? i'll drop you in the morning!" this is his way of trying to get me to have sex with him. But i desperately need sleep. I know i wouldn't get any sleep if i go home either. "fine. you take me back at the crack of dawn." i stand up and my legs feel like jelly.

"i need one more drink before we leave-" he giggles "alright princess one more" princess huh? what's with him and these nicknames?

I stumble to his car in a loud laughter, lets just say i might've snagged 3 more drinks and nowww im fuckin hysterical. "a-and then! then she face planted into the sand!" i laugh while he straps me into the passenger seat. "alright ready to go?" he asks while he buckles himself up. "takeoff!" i yell at him and the car speeds off

<><><><><The Hadley Resident><><><><>

Cato carries me in the house and sets me on his bed. "I'm gonna get you some clothes and your gonna change into them ok?" i nod while my eyes almost betray me "don't fall asleep on me ok?" i lie back into his dark red pillows. Within minutes he walks out with shorts and a shirt. "ready?" he says while walking over to the bed. "this is all i've got that will even remotely fit you soo change"

I turn around and move my hair away from the zipper of my dress. "help?" i say with a soft voice. I can hear his heavy steps and his cold hands on the back of my dress. He slowly unzips it and i feel his eyes on me when i slip it off. "you know we've got a lot in common" i giggle while i slide the shirt over my head "like what?" his voice is deep and quiet "we're both trash"

i throw my head back, i pull my hair out of my half ponytail and massage my head "ok wow, should i take my underwear off or wait till later?" he shakes his head whilst i turn my body around. "no no i mean we're both trash people" i laugh again, he walks over to the bed slowly.

"throw away's, cast offs, that nobody wants.."
