Cato

I woke up and decided to get out of the house. I couldn't stand being in the bed anymore crying like it was the end of the world. I grabbed my tennis shoes and tied them on. I walked downstairs to the bakery and strolled out the front door. The air was crisp and fresh and it felt so good as the wind caressed my body.
The birds were chirping as they flew around in the air above. I wished I was one of them at the moment. At least they were happy and carefree like Jesus said they were....
  Depression is something no one likes or loves to have but it doesn't care. It chooses you like a wand at Hogwarts.
Then it happened. I looked up and saw him. The very one I thought I wouldn't ever see again.
       Gloss Maverick.

Peeta

I sat at the bakery counter thinking about yesterday afternoon. Gloss seemed like a really nice guy and I really wanted to get to know him more. I just didn't know how and I didn't want Cato to get the wrong impression. All I could do was hope he walked into the bakery again.
I missed the love from Cato though. Cato was dying on the inside and we both knew it. He wasn't the same anymore and I was having to take it all upon myself to be the man in this relationship. All this responsibility was starting to crush me, not to mention I had nightmares too. Now we were both nutcases.
Then all of a sudden Johanna waltzed in the bakery like she just won the lottery and I had to know what was up.
  "We have a new teacher at our school and he is so chill!!"
  "Who is it?" I asked excited at this news.
  "His name is Gloss."
I spat out the tea I was drinking. A teacher? My new next door neighbor was a teacher? What the fuck....
  "He's so amazing and we all love him. I know you've been here taking care of Cato so I thought I would let you know."
  She also filled me in on everybody else. Katniss got a bellybutton piercing, Clove got accepted into volleyball and Gale proposed to Madge. How exciting it really was from.the tone of Johanna's voice!
  We sat there and chatted until suddenly he came in. And I think you know who I mean by him....
