The dark haired threat

part 9_signature wink

Cloves p.o.v

"Aw but we were having so much fun" I tell Dwayne sarcastically shooting Cato a matching smile.He returns it winking at me yet again.What is with him? It's like he knows exactly how to make me feel insecure.I know I on my met him yesterday and completely dislike him but I feel like I've known him so much longer.He must feel the same,What other explanation Is there for how he knows how to make me feel which emotions? I'm definitely not a machine in which he has a remote to control.Last time I checked I was 100% human and stand 110% of winning the games.

I slide my feet back into my dark brown combat boots before Dawyne's deep voice arises again."I think we can all agree that was an interesting first fight" the class let out a minor giggle "As that didn't go as planned I think it's time to move onto knife throwing.Clove demonstrated perfectly yesterday afternoon after Bailey's archery attempt so now I think is a great opportunity to resume that exercise.Follow me through to the gymnasium" he walks out of the room confidently as we all obediently follow.

I catch a glimpse of my reflection in a clean window as we pass through the dimly lit corridors.Although that fight didn't last long Cato still managed to snag in a few good hits.My ribs ache,I'm sure they're going to be bruised by morning and my face has some red patches on from his sly attacks.Other than a few pains throughout my stomach and legs my injuries don't appear to bad.I'm so relieved Dwayne ended it when he did.I hear fast approaching footsteps nearing me "Soooo  Clover,When do I get my turn of you straddling my waist." Bailey asks trying to impersonate Cato's signature wink.What a jerk.I make the courageous decision to take a flirtatious step towards him ,Leaning In closer to his face I respond"Around the same time pigs learn to fly sweetie"  turning my back on him my high pony tail whips him in the face leaving him to feel the stinging sensation of my hair.

As I walk I can hear Cato laughing at him "haha I think she likes you" he tells him jokingly."Really?" Bailey replies "Whatever gave you that idea" he finishes In a high pitch sing song voice indicating humour.

Cato's p.o.v

Bailey and I are the last to arrive In the gym.Everyone else has crowded around Dwayne who is holding 3 knifes in his shovel like hands with Clove standing by his side.I walk closer with Bailey following close behind and stand near the back as Dwayne hands Clove the knifes "Lets see if she's just a one hit wonder" he says stepping off the raised platform,Clove shoots him a dirty look as if to say I seriously doubt it Mr.muscles,I'd like to see you try.how about you stand in front of the target and I'll throw knifes at you.See whose a one hit wonder then.I think to myself if she is ever actually generally happy or if she is just content with sarcasm and patronizing others.The latter would not surprise me in the slightest.

She calmly strolls taking her place before the target board with her shoulders back and head held high.She must be loving this.I watch her carefully as she closes her dark eyes, inhales and holds a breath in before opening her eyelids again.Just like yesterday she turns to face the back of the room deep in concentration mode and in little more than 2 short seconds she has spun her body around lunging deep into her right leg releasing her first knife.She doesn't even hesitate before turning 360 degrees and throwing the next knife then turns the left and does the same.As if by a rehearsed routine the let's her breath escape into the atmosphere and bows slowly,She is clearly loving her time in the spotlight.Clove sidesteps allowing the target board to come into view.Just as expected the 3 knifes are all side by side within the red area.Once again the mouths belonging to the class hang open wide.
