DISCLAIMER

I do not own any of The Hunger Games Books or their characters. They all belong to the awesome Suzanne Collins.

Please Review and tell me what you think, even if you think it sucks, which I'm sure you do. Why would I think that? Because it totally sucks, and I know that.

Anyway, I will write a chapter in each Career's POV, (or part of a chapter) excluding District 4. They are all in high school, but this will also have events that are not actually in school. Some of them will be on weekends, school holidays and breaks, and after school.

I will try to update as often as possible, but no promises….

Cato's POV

I remember when I first met Clove.

I had just walked into the training center late, and happened to look around for my trainer, Circle.

Stupid name, right? I thought so too, until "Circle" gave me a black eye. If you asked me right now what I thought of the name Circle, I would probably tell you that I thought it was the best name in the world and that I was thinking about naming my future son Circle. That's how hard he punched my eye.

Anyway, I finally spotted him at the knife throwing station. He was helping a girl my age on how to throw a knife, though it didn't look like she needed much help to me. She was hitting the dummy that she threw it at every single time, delivering what would have been a fatal blow, if it had been a real person.

I walk up to Circle, and the girl turns around to face me.

"Uh Circle? This kid wants to talk to you" she had said in an annoyed tone, as if she would rather been anywhere else at the moment.

"Oh. Hello Cato" Circle said, in a bored voice. "Since you were late to training today, I decided to help Clove with her knife throwing skills. And for punishment, you have to let her teach you how to throw knives."

"Circle" I whined, "Why do I have to let a clueless chick show me how to throw a knife? Why can't I just do sword fighting today?"

"GO."

"Fine"

I stormed over to Clove.

"Circle insists that you have to teach me to throw a knife." I had said in a grumpy tone, wishing to be anywhere else but right here at the moment.

" Fine. But first we have to get one thing straight." She throw me on the ground and pins me down. "I am NOT a clueless chick. Get that through your pea sized brain, and don't let your huge ego get in my way."

While she had me pinned down, I had gotten a good look at Clove. Her dark hair spilled over her shoulders and her icy blue eyes complimented it well. She has a petite figure, and high cheekbones.

"Someone's feisty" I said, and pushed her off of me. Then, grinning, I pick up a knife.

"Shut up."

"Maybe I don't want to."

We kept going back and forth like that all afternoon until it's time to leave the training center.

On the way out, I try throwing the knife and it whizzes past where I had meant for it to hit and the knife was lodged into the wall. I curse and run to retrieve the knife.

"Look who's the clueless one now" she had said, laughing, and grabs her backpack. She sprinted away while I tried to catch her, but failed miserably. She finally had started to walk.

I caught up to her, and challenged her to a hand to hand combat duel.

Clove POV

Ever since that day 2 months ago, Cato and I have been inseparable. We walk to training and back every day, doing the same thing. We go and get frozen yogurt from the local parlor. When the trainer finally calls it quits for the day, I run and get my backpack. Cato meets me at the door, and we start walking.

I have been building up the nerve to ask this question for awhile, and I finally feel confident enough to ask it.

"Cato" I say, nervously.

'Yeah, Clove?"

"Why have you suddenly been so nice to me? I mean, it's not a bad thing, don't get me wrong, but you're no t nice to anyone else. "

"If I told you, you would either A) not believe me or B) never talk to me again or C) both so I have to show you."

I am not prepared for what comes next. He pulls me close to him and kisses me. My act before you think sense kicks in and I push away from him quickly and run towards home.

I stopped on the corner of the sidewalk and looked back at Cato. I stared into his eyes, just like he stared into mine. But when I looked into his eyes, I saw that I meant nothing to him. Tears started to well up in my eyes, so I quickly turned back and ran home. I could hear the patter of Cato's training boots, so I took the alleyway home.

I walked into the door and turned on the television, and whipped out my phone. I recorded a new voicemail, just for Cato. At least I could have a few hours to myself before my mom's work party.

Cato POV

As she ran home, she stopped on the corner of the sidewalk. Her blue eyes stared into mine, and for a moment I thought she might come back. But then, tears welled up in her eyes and she turned back and ran home. I saw that something was wrong, so I started to run after her. She must've heard the sound of my training boots hitting the pavement, because she ran into the alley. But when I got into the alley, all I saw was a flash of brown hair disappearing around the corner. Clove. But I knew I could never catch her, so I gave up and went to the frozen yogurt place.

I got the cheesecake flavor, which I hate, because I hate myself right now. I hate myself for ever kissing Clove, and for not apologizing. I whip out my phone and call her.

One ring, two rings, three rings, four.

She doesn't pick up, so I decide to leave a voicemail. But as I hear the recording, I know I have some serious work to do.

"Hello it's Clove, please leave a voicemail, except if you're Cato, you can go to fucking hell. Thanks for calling, I should probably call you back soon. Cato, don't leave a voicemail, it's pointless. I'm not going to listen to it." And then the machine beeps. I hang up. "Damn it" I curse under my breath.

I throw away the yogurt and run home. My mom greets me at the door, and throws a nice shirt and slacks at me.

"We're going to a work party at one of my co-workers houses. Get freshened up, and put these things on.

"Ugh, fine."

I spend the next hour making myself look okay. This would take longer than you would think, accounting for the fact that I'm really sweaty and look terrible. But at this party, I can spend time thinking about how to mend my friendship with Clove.

Clove POV

My mom yanks me off the couch and dresses me up for her work party. She tosses me a beautiful blue strapless dress that matches my eyes and straightens my hair. She decides that this is not enough on my hair, and puts blonde highlights in my hair. She decides that my hair looks good, so she smears my face in makeup. I'm surprised that even with all of the makeup my mom gabbed on my face, I don't look half bad…

"Clove, that modeling guy from 1 will be here tonight. You have to look your best!" My mom's sudden outburst startles me, and I flinch.

The reason this party is such a big deal for my mom is a bunch of people from a big design firm are coming all the way from District 1 to see my mom's company's designs. I have a few friends from District 1 that I met at the company party last year, and I hope that they come again this year. Their names are Glimmer and Marvel, and Glimmer is my best friend. She says Marvel is going to ask me out this year, but I know Marvel doesn't like me like that…

I sit back on the couch, and wait for the first guest to arrive. And when the doorbell rings, my mom shoves a plate of shrimp in my hands and tells me to walk around with it during the party because I will be the server. She answers the door, and I stand there and silently hope that my eyes deceive me.

It's Cato and his family.

Shit.

I immediately ditch the shrimp tray and run up to my room.

Cato POV

I was really happy when I figured out that the party was at Clove's. Hopefully, I could talk to her and make things right again.

My mom knocked on the door, and her mom answered the door in a black cocktail dress. Clove stands behind her, holding a tray of shrimp. She looks beautiful. Her hair has blond highlights, and she wears a dress that matches her eyes perfectly. Her skin is flawless.

Clove immediately drops the shrimp tray and runs upstairs.

Shit.

So that was Chapter 1. Sorry, I think it really sucked BUT if you think it was good tell me!
