The HungerGames (Clove+ Cato)

Chapter 5

The sun wakes us up the next day. I push away the blanket and get dressed.  When I come out Cato is just sarting to sit up."Did you get a good night's sleep?" I ask.

"Nope. You?"

" No," I reply.I had two nightmares in fact, one about Cato being killed and one of me killing Cato. Not very pleasant.

We get ready for breakfast. And we head to the dining area, where we are given breakfast before we are released. We eat siliently, no one talks expcept for Enobaria, our other mentor, which just showed up after this whole time, starts talking to us. Brutus was very kind, probably because I have met him before. He was Gold's Uncle. I only saw him once. I was at Gold's house and we were in the living room talking, and he was in the kitchen, whispering to Gold's dad. Then he walked out.

*FLASH BACK*

"Oh my gosh Clove! I saw this really cute guy in school today! He smiled at me! It was just amazing! Plus I think he likes me!" Gold says. I give her an unintrested in what youre talking about look, then she says," Oh I know youre not into the girly girl stuff but I just had to say it to somebody!" Gold wasn't friendless or anything, but she was so pretty that the other girls were so jealous of her beauty, that they just left her alone so people wouldn't pay attention to her. And being as simple minded as she is, she just stayed that way. Alone. Untill we met. She talks again,"So... Clove... how's your stalker doing? Is he hotter than usual? Have you fallen for him yet?" I blush. "Clove, I have an idea, tomorrow, flirt with him and see what he does!" We were laughing when there was a knock at the door. A victor, no doubt, he went staright to the kitchen. "Oh that's my uncle brutus." And then we continued talking. I kept wondering why he was there. I kept telling myself I should ask Gold after he leaves, cause who comes in around 7pm to whisper...about what though...

*End of flash back*

I'll probably never know why either.

I look at Cato, he's eating his food siliently. I wonder what he's thinking...maybe planning on how to kill me at the point where the career's allience breaks up. I might even be his first target then! No! Cato is my closest friend. He won't hurt me. He loves me, I love him...he loves me...

It's time to go get ready to get on the hovercraft.

 As I walk through the hallway towards the door that lead to the landing place of the hover crafts, Cato turns me around. "Clove, I think this is our last time we can talk privately. I just wanted to say, I love you. No matter what happens in the arena, know it's all to protect you. Okay?""Okay. I love you too Cato."We hug tightly. I don't want to let go. But peackeepers are pulling us apart to guide us into our hovercrafts.
