Clato: a love story

The Telling

The next day, I walk to the school steps. I try to find Cato but he's with Jessica the other popular girls so I sit down and revise some notes I took in class yesterday. Cato started staring at me so I smiled at him. I carried on revising my notes until class started. The bell went and I waited for Cato. Two men came up to us and told us we had to come with them. I said "our teacher isn't going to know where we are!"
"They already know why you're here", they said.
Me and Cato look at each other in dismay wondering what was going on.
"Follow us", one of the men said.
Me and Cato followed them and they took us to a room that looked like a questioning room at the police station.
"So, Cato and Clove. Your going in The 74th Annual Hunger Games", they said.
"Why do we need to know this now?" Cato asked.
"So you can start training and we can get your ready for The Games. There are also different people training with you who may be going to the games." The man said.
Me and Cato look at each other. I can feel his hand move closer to mine.
"Chop chop, your first set of matches starts in an hour", another man said.
Me and Cato hurried to start the training as soon as possible. I already know how to use knives so I should be okay. I also know how to kick and punch. I doubt we will be able to use knives. I'm pretty sure they're not allowed because we can't 'seriously injure' someone which I think is totally barbaric!
