Like clockwork, the football captain of The Career Academy, Cato Hadley, harshly shoved you aside as he walked through the hallway with the football and cheerleading team. Every Friday before noon, The Career Academy’s football team would go up against The Capitol’s team. This unfortunately meant getting tormented by Cato all day. To be fair, he did torment you every day, but he always seemed to be worse on Fridays.

You never understood him.

There was a million people in this school, he could bully anyone he wanted. So why on earth did he choose to bully you?

The school’s bell rang, signaling for you to go towards the field to snag a good seat, as the bleachers seemed to fill up pretty quickly. While you did that, you failed to notice a similar pair of grey eyes staring in your general direction. Cato, who was currently standing on the football field, had the cheerleading captain wrapped around his bicep. Despite this, his attention wasn’t really focused on her.

No.

It was focused on you.
