"Yo, get over here Catnip. We're in a rush. We got a day full of hunting ahead of us. " " I'm running as fast as I can, Gale " , she said. I notice she has a piece of cheese. And that's when I blow my top." Ugh you are such an ass! You didn't bother to share?!" "Yep". "Wow , someone's quiet today . Anyway, I got you some bread for just a squirrel." "Aw damn! You should have kept the squirrel". "Any way Katniss, I've been meaning to tell you how I've been feeling about you lately" Before I started I took a big swallow reassuring myself that I was ready. "Umm... You know how we have been friends since we lost our dads and we've only been partners and all umm..-" "Ok shut up with the stalling and get to the point" I know I'm stalling, and I think it's making her anxious (really it's the same hinge with me). " Ok I'll just say it. I'm in love with you!" I can feel my face turning red as a tomato. "Oh man Gale. I love you to but do you know how much all the girls at school would hate me?" I think really bad thoughts like ' oh shit that's a total no!' and ' I really messed it up this time!' I can't identify her reaction until she says an answer that makes my heart completely stop." I-I-I love you to." Oh God! Thank you and p.s. You are prettier than all the other girls at school!" We are quiet for like 3 minutes and then we get closer than we ever have before. Our lips are 2 inches apart and we close our eyes and bam! I'm in heaven! This truly is the best day ever !
