As I was walking toward the Hob I suddenly saw Gale. He waved at me and smiled which made me smile. I waved back and blushed. He then walked over to me and we started talking. When he walked over to me I had butterflies though.
"If it isn't Catnip." Gale said with a little smirk. He was joking around with me as usual. He always tried to be funny when we talked but, he never was. Since we have known each other for so long we act like each others jokes are funny even if they are not.
"Well if it isn't Gale." I said back. He looked at me as if he wanted to ask me something . I gave him a look like go ahead and talk. He wouldn't so I told him, "Go ahead and talk Gale I know you want to ask me something." I was serious when I said this because if I wasn't he wouldn't say anything.
"Well the Reaping is coming up in two weeks," Gale said,"and I was wondering if you have a plan to keep Prim calm?" I had no idea how I was going to keep Prim calm after I thought about it.
Prim is one of those people that over-react to everything, so she was going to almost be crying on the day of the Reaping. Even if her name is only in there once. After I thought about it I was glad Gale brought keeping Prim calm up.
"No." I said to Gale kind of disappointed in myself for not having a plan already together.
"Well," Gale said,"you have two weeks to get one together so I would hurry up and start thinking. Just remmember to not bring up the Reaping alot in front of her. You don't want to scare her."
"I know Gale," I said,"and you don't have to worry about me bringing up the Reaping because I hate having to watch people that I know walk up on that stage and try to be strong even though they are crying on the inside. It's sad Gale and I don't like it." Gale knew he should change the subject because it was making me scared. Not for myself though but for Prim.
"So Catnip," Gale said,"What are you going to wear the day of the Reaping?" The truth was I had no idea what I was going to wear but, I was sure I was wearing a dress and going to pull my hair back.
"I don't know." I said. Then Gale looked at me with his grey eyes that seemed to make me have butterflies in my stomach. I looked up at the sky quickly thinking that the butterflies would go away but, they didn't. 'Was I falling for Gale?' I thought.
