Accidentally in Love

New Day, New Games

I turn my head away from him and look at the elevator wall. I don’t want him to talk to me. But, or course his cocky self does.

“Hello, Fire Girl.”

“Hi.”

“What brings you to the pool tonight?”

“I needed sometime alone before the games, what were you doing down here so late?”

“I was getting some extra training in before the games. I’m on my way to the garden, care to join?” What was I supposed to say to the guy that will want me dead as soon as I get into the arena?

“Sure.” We simply just stand there in silence as the elevator reaches the top level. When we finally reach it, the elevator opens and Cato escorts me to the garden. Good thing that I changed into some warm clothes before I left the pool.it is freezing up here, and it isn’t even winter.

I walk out into the cold and sit there. It’s almost really awkward till he speaks.

“So, you’re going to be with me and the careers huh?

“Well, I guess so. But one question, why –“

“Did I ask you to join the careers? Think about it, everyone knew about lover boy, and if I had you in my group, he would be an easy kill, he is worthless without you. Face it. He defines how to survive the Hunger Games without trying.”

“PEETA IS NOTHING CLOSE TO WRTHLESS! HE IS MY FRIEND AND I WON’T LET YOU HURT HIM!” That wasn’t, I barely knew the by, but he saved my life once, so I’ll let him live a day longer. I grab my stuff and storm off. I hope he burns in hell.

“Katniss. Come back, I wasn’t trying to anger you!”

“WELL YOU’RE SURE AS HELL GOOD AT IT!” And with that I ran off to the elevator and shut it quickly behind me so that he couldn’t get on. I run off the elevator to my room and lock the door, just in case he comes to the condo to try and talk to me again.
