Quick authors note: I'm really sorry I've been skipping a shit tone of days in the book, but I'm a lazy ass bitch, so yah. Deal with it.

******************************************************************************************************************************************

*Saturday*

Catos POV
(Texting Clove)

Clove: I need a ride stupid. Come pick me up

Cato: ok shortie, cool it. I'm just leaving now.

Clove: you call me shortie again, it'll be the last thing u do

Cato: geez, ok, I'm almost there.

Clove: thanks

Cato: np

(Back to rl)

I told her I'm almost there. Yeah, I just got ready. She is gonna be pissed if we're late. I slip on my sneakers and sprint out the door into my car.

I go a little over the speed limit, but I'd rather get a ticket or a fine then have to deal with an angry Clove. I somehow arrive on time. That's one for the books. I park in her driveway and honk the horn. She comes bolting out in her sweatshirt and leggings. She climbs in the passenger side and buckles her seat belt.

"Um, Clover." I say. "What is it now." She says, rolling her eyes. "I mean, it's March, but isn't it a little hot out for a hoodie?" I ask. "I don't really care. It feels like I'm getting a nice warm hug wherever I go." She says, pulling her arms in close to her chest.

I smile and put my attention back to the road. She was wearing my hoodie that I gave to her when we started high school, and it's still big on her. I don't think she remembers that it was mine, but as long as I know it is, it's special.

*Finnicks house*

Catos POV

Finnicks house if fucking huge.

That's all I have to say. It could fit six of my houses in it, and my house is pretty big. I walk inside, while Clove stands on Finnick's porch, wide eyed and in awe. I pull at her arm.

"Hellooooooo. Clover? Are you gonna stand there all day and miss the party?" I say, waving my hand in front of her face. "What? Sorry, I've never been to Finn's house before, it's a lot bigger than I expected." She replies, walking into the kitchen, where Finnicks mother is. "Hi Mrs.Odair!" Clove says, cheerfully. "Hello Clove! And Cato! Haven't seen you two in a while!" Mrs.Odair says. "Thank you for having us." Clove says. "Well, everyone else is downstairs." Mrs.Odair tells us. "Thank you." I say, before heading downstairs.

"Hey! Welcome to my crib!" Finnick says. "We're just waiting on Gale, Thresh and Johanna. When they get here, the real party will start!" I nod and look around. He has a game room, a little movie theatre, and anything you can ask for. (Except a basketball court. Think realistic people.). "Um, Finn?" Madge says, tapping on his shoulder. "Whatcha need brosita!l Finnick replies. "Is there anything with peanuts in it here? I'm allergic to peanuts." She says. "Nope! You told me this last week, no peanuts here!" Finnick tells her. "Okay, thanks." She says, walking back over to Katniss and Peeta.

Madge has always been shy around new people, or when she's in new places. She lets loose with the group though. Most people wouldn't expect it, but's she's a complete goof ball, always cracking jokes and making everyone laugh. One time, we made stereotypes for our group.

Madge is the mom of the group, making sure everyone else is okay, or having fun.

Katniss and Peeta are the it couple, the couple that everyone knows and has been together for a long time.

Finch and Marvel are the normal couple, a few steps lower than the it couple.

Gale is the grandpa of the group, always has candy and is sweet most of the time, but can be a crank too.

Thresh is the rock, as in Dwayne the rock Johnson. Don't ask, Clove came up with it.

Finnick is the party animal.

Annie is the goofy friend that you can have either a serious or funny chat with.

And Johanna is the crazy physco girl that wants to stab anyone and everyone she meets. (Sry if I spelled physco wrong. I suck at spelling.)

The doorbell rings. Gale walks in. "Sup kiddos! I brought chips!" Gale says, setting the chips down on the table.What did I say about him being the grandpa)

"Gale!" Madge squeals as she runs to give him a hug. They've been dating for about five months now, and everyone is betting on whether he's gonna propose or not. You think I'm joking? Nah, it's happening. It better. I bet one hundred bucks on that.

Gale walks back to the car to get more food with Madge, while Thresh arrives. "Yo! What's poppin!" Thresh says, trying to sound cool. Clove rolls her eyes and gives him a quick hug. She tutored him last year, and it totally saved his butt. If he had of failed, he would still be in 11th grade. We all sit down on the couch when we hear footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Sup bitches! The party has arrived!" Johanna says, high fiving Clove. They've always been pretty close. I don't no why, but they just are.

Now that Johanna is here the party can start. Hoo boy. This is gonna be good.

Sup betches. Sorry for my bad spelling. It's never been one of my strong suits. So, just to clear things up, this is the group.

Clove
Cato
Madge
Gale
Finch
Marvel
Katniss
Peeta
Johanna
Annie
Finnick

So yeah. That it. I wish I had a big friend group, but alas, I am stuck with like, two friends 😭. Oh well. Sorry this chapter is so short.

Bye Felicia
