Gale/Madge
Chapter 1: "Madge"
Timeline:Post mockingjay
Place: At a coffee shop in district 2
Gale POV
"Coffee please"
The cashier girl smiled at me a bit too long for my comfort before nodding her head. Her eyelids were fluttering madly, trying to grasp my attention. It did so I just smirk at her.
"Here you go" She flashes a big grin, handing me the coffee and I winked at her.
The aroma of the coffee was strong and I like it. I loved coffee ever since I was able to afford it. Coffee beans were such a rarity and a luxury back in district 12, so much so that I never even heard of it. Until recently, with my prestigious job as a government official here in District 2, I could almost buy any type of food found here. It was quite ironic for a man like me, who lived in district 12 all his life with no sense of political background ever and having to work as a coal miner, to be offered a job to govern another district. But, who was I to deny that offer. Not only does it pays well, i get to bring justice to this district with the implementation of fair policies.
I walk back to my table and found another set of eyes watching me intently. Things like this always happen. Not like I was not used to it, even back home when I was still schooling, girls would always stare and whisper to their friends about me every time I walk by. I couldn't care less, because at that time only one girl was on my mind. But now, since I couldn't have her, I figure why not have a little fun with being admired all around.
I turn to face those pair of eyes that were watching me. Sure enough it was a girl. But there something about her that forced me to freeze my tracks and locked eyes with her. What is it? I ask myself. There was some words at the back of my mind that I couldn't make out and that's screaming to get out. Something that reminds me of home. Those clear blue eyes seemed so vaguely familiar. The expression of her face confirms that she is familiar with me too.
She broke her gaze and hastily got up from her chair. She turned her back towards me and was about to leave for the door when I called out, "Madge"
She froze for a second before leaving straight out the door. And Out of my sight.
