The boy from district 2 came out.
"What are you doing here?" I ask
"I could ask you the same thing" he replied with a smirk.
"I was talking to my Mom now your turn." I snapped
"I couldn't sleep" he looked up at the sky.
"You're talking to a star"
"That's what my Mom is" I kept my guard up as he came closer now within touching distance.
"You know your impossible. A career that has a warm heart." he finally looked at me
"I'll take that as a complement"
"You should take everything i say to you as a complement" he smirked. Was he flirting with me?
"I'm Cato Vaelenn" he introduced himself
"Lacey Ryder" I replied
"Pretty name for a pretty girl" I rolled my eyes.
"If you're trying to worm your way in and find my weakness you can piss off because I've got them locked up like a Capitol vault." he laughed
"I like you, your feisty"
"And I will kick your ass if you try anything."
"It's a shame because you have such kissable lips"
"I'm not naive Cato i know what you're trying to do." I fold my arms and give him a pointed look
"And what would that be"
"Break something so that I'm an easier kill" I stated
"Not with you, you're different."
"How so?"
"You don't take bullshit. Yet you can be as harmless as a mouse. Talk about duel personality."
"I should be going" I went to leave but he pulled me back.
"Please stay. If you really want me to I won't talk" i thought about it for a minute and rationalised that I still wasn't relaxed enough to fall asleep.
"Fine" I sat down and crossed my legs. Cato took that opportunity to sit down next to me. We sat in silence and i forgot he was there till I started singing.
"you have a beautiful voice" he told me i looked at him.
"Thank you" i then yawned
"Goodnight Cato" i stood up and went to the elevator.
"Goodnight...Lacey"
