Hello readers this is my first fanfic so please, be nice to me T^T (I'm an over emotional girl so I tend to cry). I wanna say thank you for taking the time to read my story also :3
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own the Hunger Games book or the characters in the book.
Me and Gale had just left mayors house, we had dropped off strawberries. He was pounding the ground with his feet as he walked, he was very upset. Something about the mayor's daughter just ticked him off, I didn't know what but it was just something.
"Gale what's the matter" I asked. I reached out and put my hand on his shoulder, he shook it off and I made the mistake of showing hurt on my face. "What's the matter, what's the matter oh Kit you know damn well what's the matter" he said. Gale's face was turning slightly red around the cheeks and his eyes looked wild, "while we're stand in the square wait for out name to be called for a death sentence, she'll be at home safe and sound, it isn't fair for all of us to have to suffer and she doesn't" he said.
I sighed, I knew of his pain, Gale had more family to take care than me by far and today was The Reaping, he had way more of a chance of being called than me that I knew. I sighed, "I know Gale" was all I whispered to him and then I walked ahead.
The day was just perfect, like it was every year for The Reaping, which I found strangely weird. The wind blew softly and blew my hair around my face. I closed my eyes and stood still, I heard Gale walk ahead and then he just stopped. I opened my eyes to see why he stopped and he just looked away.
For a second I thought that he was blushing, why? Was it from looking at me, I shook my head back and forth to bring real thoughts back into my mind. "So stupid" I mumbled. I looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting dim, "we better head back by now, it's almost time."
Gale just nodded, still facing away from me; I just stood there waiting for him. I was starting to get agitated after standing for a long time, we where wasting time just standing there. "Gale are you coming" I asked, "y-yeah you just go ahead" he whispered. "Gosh ever since we left the mayor's house you've just been acting weird" I sighed.
I couldn't stand there all day so I started to walk back to the District. "Katniss…wait" he called after me, "what Gale" I said, impatiens seeping into my tone. "Um….wear something pretty….ok" he whispered to me. My eye's sort of went wide, I really wasn't expecting that.
