Katniss's pov

I walk peeta back to the living quaters. I sometime wonder what my life would be like if my dad was still here. It is a completely random thought but I wonder if things would of been different. If father was still alive mum would act normal and treat prim like she deserves. Like a daughter. God I wonder what would happen if I die. No when I die in the games. what would happen to prim. My little duck. Gale would take care of her right. I know he likes me but come on she's my sister. "Katniss? Is that you?" I zone back in at peetas words. He wriggles himself out of my arms and brushes himself off. "Why the fuck are you carrying me Katniss. I'm strong enough on my own. " And with that he falls on his ass. "Idiot" I whisper. He gets up with another bruise on his face. A tear escapes his eye. I feel sorry for him but I can't after all of the bull shit he said to me I can't love him or can I. I grab his hand and lead the idiot to the living quaters and hand is ass over to Effie. God he is surprisingly heavy. Effie takes him to his room and I follow her. I gaze at his bruised and bloodied body. God Cato can really punch a douche.

I lay in bed that night and wonder why  I like Cato and maybe peeta. I can't really put my finger on why I like him. It's just something about him that gives off a lovable feel buried under all of that hostility. The same with Cato but peeta has always been with me. I've always known him.
I fall asleep thinking about this thought.
"Peeta is that you?"
"Yes Katniss it's me."
"I love you"
"I love you too Kat."
"KATNISS! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU AND PEETA?"
Cato charged towards peeta and I with a knife. He tackles peeta and punches him in the face. "Can you please stop. Cato." Please can you please stop punching him."
"NO KATNISS I WILL NOT STOP ,I LOVE YOU! " and with that he's over in front of me. Looking deep into my eyes. He leans in to kiss me but I push him away. His facial expressions twist into an inhuman form and he grits his teeth. The facial expression scares me , sent shivers down my spine.
I felt weak and vulnerable. Paralyzed by fear I stand there while he stares at me. Her turns back to peeta and storms towards him. He grabs out
Katniss, Katniss wake up ,wake up!
Effie says in her sophisticated capitol voice.

I walk To the elevator to go Down to the tribute training center. I'm very late I'm always late. If it wasn't for effie I would miss the games.  And then you know I would become an avox or worse. As I was running through the possible torture methods that the Capitol could dream up the door opens. I'm so startled by the sound that I make the person coming into the elevator jump. Cato. Just when I couldn't get any more confused. He looks flustered and pissed. I hear clove  screaming and running to the elevator. Her face turns even more sour when she sees me, that doesn't stop her she keeps on running. Cato quickly closes the elevator as clove bashes the glass door. Cato lets out a huge sigh And turns around. It's amazing how quickly his eyes can turn from an icy cold blue to a watery blue that you just want to drown in.
Wait no I can't socialise with the enemy. "Katniss are you ok?" He asks. "Yes um I'm fine thanks Cato. Love you." OH HOLY FUCKING SHIT. WHAT THE FUCK KATNISS!! "Umm katniss what did you just say?" He asks suspiciously.   "You know what career shut up and leave me alone!" I scream. His face fell quicker that president snow can plot revenge. His eyes turned  icy cold. He darted them at me his face visible with rage.  My mind is racing in all different directions I don't  know what to do.  IM ABOUT TO GO INTO A FIGHT TO THE DEATH AND ALL IM THINKING ABOUT IS CATO A HEARTLESS CAREER! Some thing is seriously wrong with me.
