A/N: Sorry I'm updating late, I had school and Prom yesterday so I had absolutly no time! Sorry for the delay.

Yesterday Peeta stayed for a little while after Cato came but today is time to face school again.  I throw on a pair of light wash destroyed jeans, a black sweater, and a pair of convers.  I put on make-up to cover the bruise still gracing my face with it presence and throw my hair into a high pony tail.   Making my way slowly and sorely down the stairs I call for Sapphire. "Sapphire, can I please take yor car to school today?"  "Clove, I'll drive you okay." Sapphire yells back from the kitchen. I walk into the kitchen, smile at Sapphire and grab an apple to eat while Sapphire drives me to school.  We walk out the front door together.  We hop in her car and start heading to th eschool. "Sapphire, do I have to go back today?"  I ask.  "Yes, you do.  You have to go sometime and sometime is today."  I groan in response not wanting to face anybody.  "What if Dylans there?"  I ask hoping that will make her turn the car around.  "He won't bother you with that many people around, stop worrying."  I don't ask her anything else.  I didn't stop him at homecoming, why wouldn't he bother me at school too? 

The rest of the ride is silent.  I hop out of the car and slowley wal through the doors to the school.  I am so thankful that Peeta is in my first class with me, its a weird comfort I guess.  Although I don't see him at my lockr, he might have forgot I was coming back today.  I make my way to first hour, Algebra 2, alone.  I take my normal seat and wait for Peeta to enter.  The bell rings and Peeta still has yet to walk into the class room.  Maybe he is just running late?  

Algebra 2 finally finished and Peeta never showed up.  Well this is going to be a long day.  I am walking to second hour whe someone hugs me from behind.  I stiffen suddenly.  Thats what Dylan used to do.  I try to calm my breathing down.  Cato beat Dylan up, he isn't going to hurt me again.  I slowly turn around.  Attempting not to panic but it isn't happening.  The grip lossens from around my waist and I don't even look at who it is I just start running for the door. I can't take being here anymore.  No one is in the football stadium right now, so that is where I start to run to.  I can hear someone calling after me but I don't know who, I can't even think right now.  I can barley even breath, I'm panicing.  I run up into the bleachers all the way to the top, as far as I can get away from whoever is chasing me.  I reach the top and feel my legs collapse underneath my weight.  I hear the metel of the bleachers clang and I try to stay calm.  Although trying hasn't done me much help in the past.  I don't know what to even do, if it is Dylan I'm screwed.  Maybe running to the top of the bleachers wasn't a good idea.  I pull my knees up to my chest trying not to cry, but somehow salty tearts are still running down my checks .  "Clove, are you okay?  Why did you run?"  I hear Cato say.  Thank goodness it's just Cato.  "I uhh...."  Is all I can get out, my mouth is dry and I still can't think straight.  Cato sits beside me and pulls me into a hug.  "Its okay, shhh.... your going to alright.  I got you."  He whispers into my ear.  "Cato, what happened friday night?"  I ask nervously.  "Do you really want to know?" He asks.  "Yes."  I reply quietly.  "Well I went over to talk to some of the guys from the football team for a little and I thought you went to find Peeta or Glimmer.  When I finished talking I went and found Glimmer to see if you were with her but she said she never came over to her.  I started to look for you and I thought you might have gotten hot and went outside to cool down.  I went out the back door and yeah."  He stopped short nowing he didn't need to explain what he saw next.  "What did you do to him?"  I ask softly.  "Well lets just say he looks pretty bad."  Cato says and I can hear the smirk in his voice. "Good."  I say a little to happily, but Cato just laughs. "So, um, do you mind me asking the story behind that?" Cato asks a little nervously. "Um, well, Dylan is my ex for obvious reasons.  We dated for about a six months.  When we first started dating everything was great, for the first two months actually.  Around the end of the second month we were dating he started getting really possesive and then it went down hill.  I was to afraid to break it off at the time so I let it go further down hill and yeah you saw the rest." I explain trying to keep my emotions in check.  Cato dosen't say anything and I'm glad he dosen't say sorry because I really don't want pitty.  Cato just hugs me tighter.  With Cato I feel safe.  "Hey why didn't you come visit me over the weekend?"  I ask even though I know the answer. "I actually did but you where sleeping and I didn't want to wake you up."  Cato replies.  " You could have woken me up.  I wouldn't have minded."  I reply laughing a little and Cato chuckle.  "Well, maybe we should get back to class."  Cato says more than asks. "Na, how about we don't."  I say back.  "I think your sister would kill me." Cato replies back.  "Come on since when did you become my babysister?"  I complain.  "Since I want her to like me." He replies.  "Since when do you care if she likes you?"  I ask.  "Since I want to ask you something."  Cato says.  "And that would be?"  I say smirking.  "Will you be my girlfriend?"
