Later
The games had ended. Grove won and sure enough Cato would not leave her alone. Soon she decided to go to the training center she had been invited to about a month ago. Cato found out by her brother. Grove had to talk to her brother about giving people her exact known location. For safety reasons and Cato reasons.Cato showed up about a day later at the training center.
"What are you doing?" Cato asked
"Training. What else does it look like?" Grove answered
"Why? You have won in the Hunger Games twice. You don't really need to train anymore."
"Cato, there is always more to learn. Plus I am just being cautious about my future. I can always get reaped." Grove said
"Will you just forgive me? I don't even know why your mad at me." Cato exclaimed
"I don't even know why your mad at me, Cato!" Grove said
"Fine! You want to know why?" Cato said
"Yes I do."
"I saw you with another guy... sleeping together." Cato told Grove
"Hmm. Wonder how that feels." Grove said. She was thinking about the time Cato and Glimmer slept together.
"What do you mean?"
"I know there was something going on between you and Glimmer."
"Oh!" Cato thought.
"Well, why were you sleeping with that district 4 guy?" Cato asked
"Body heat. It was cold that night. We were trying to conserve body heat. Remember? My dad thought us that in the survival skills lesson." Grove said
Cato had not paid attention to the survival skills lesson. That caught Grove by no surprise.
"Well. Would you just forgive me?" Cato asked.
"Fine. But there is nothing other than our friendship." Grove said
"Why?" Cato asked
"Beca-"
All of the sudden Finnick came in and wrapped his arm around Grove.
"How is my most favorite person in the world?" Finnick asked
"Great" Grove said.
"Good! Hey I am just going to be lifting weights if you want to join me." Finnick said to Grove and then left.
"You're dating Finnick!"
"Yea." Grove told Cato.
"But you two have nothing in common! Well besides the triden thing."
"Maybe you should actually spend time to get to know your best friend. We have a lot in common, Cato."
Grove walked off. Cato was speechless. He watched Grove and Finnick lift weights. He was jealous.
