Love in the heart of the games

chapter 4

Cato's POV 

After I got out of the shower my head was still reeling. I still can't believe I loved Katniss Everdeen. I just kept trying to get the truth out of my head; I wish she loved me too.   I turned on the TV. It didnt help. It was all about the reapings. We were on my reaping.

Flash back

"Cato! Get up!" My stupid older sister yelled. She was 18 and she never went into training because my parents said,"She is to pretty."  Ugh! I hate her!  She was so stuck up and she could have any boyfriend she wanted but she picked no one. Then she went on and ranted about how she could never find abyone good enough or nice enough. I got up and took a shower then got dressed. I truly hate theses games but my parents made me train. And this year I had to volunteer. 

Chrislyn Glass District 2's Captol escort, Game to the microphone and boomed, "Welcome! Welcome, welcome and happy 74th!"  She  plastered a really huge smile that thought was fake. Her capitol accent annoyed me to no end.  Then the stupid Capitol District 13 war blah blah blah video was over and everything went silent after the usual clapping. "Well. Now that, that is over we can get on with the tribute picking. One couragous man and brave young woman will be picked for the honor of bringing pride to District 2!" Chrislyin said (chrislyn- Cry-ss-lin).   "Ladies first!" she boomed. She dug her hand into the big glass bowl she could fit her head and  big purple wig into and pulled out the little folded piece of paper. "Autumn Jones!" She walked out of the 14 year old  section and looked half dead from fright already. "I volunteer!" Came a girls voice from the 16 year-old section. She ran up to Chrislyn With a huge grin on her face. "Whats your name dear?" Chrislyn asked. "Clove Burlap." She said. "And do you have anything to say dear?" Chrislyn asked. "Stop calling me dear is all I have to say other than the usual ' I'm going to win.' Crap" she said. Wow she had a mouth. Then I heard a cry from the crowd that was familiar. "CLOVE NO!" It was my 12 year old sister, Cally Yelled. Clove was her best and only friend that was a girl. "OOOh drama!" Chrislyn said and it made me want to slap her. My little sisters only best friend going in the Games is not drama. "Now that,that is over," She said and it jolted me out of my thoughts," Lets get to the boy then." She walked over to the big glass bowl and pulled out a little perfectly folded piece of paper. "Cato Steel!" She yelled. I walked up to Chrislyn and Clove and she told us to shake hands,so we did and I think my grip was a little hard and she almost crunched my bone when I loosened my grip a little. "And there we have it! Our District 2 tributes Cato Steel and Clove Burlap! Happy Hunger Games and I'll see you all next year!" Chrislin said and with that we were taken to the Justice Building for our final goodbyes.
