Hey guys this is just a story I thought might be kinda interesting…it takes place when Katniss is 15 and Gale is 17…so tell me if you want me to continue or not!

Ch. 1

Katniss's POV

I waited on me and Gale's rock like I did every morning. Gale was late, big surprise, he'd been late a lot lately. Probably hanging out with the pretty merchant girls again. I don't know why, but it started bugging me a lot lately, I know I never want a boyfriend but I've started to feel something when I'm with Gale, and I think I might be falling in love! I know it's crazy because he is so attractive and all the girls want him and I know that it will never happen because…I'm just a nobody, all Gale will ever think of me as is a hunting partner. I let out a sigh and then look next to me, and there he is just sitting there, staring at me.

"Hey Catnip" he says while grinning. "Whatcha thinkin' about?"

I obviously can't tell him the whole truth so I settle with half the truth. "Well, I was wondering why you've been so late all the time Gale?"

He laughed. "I overslept"

"Well whatever" I said. "What do you wanna do today?"

"Well I was thinking we should go down to the lake and swim, then catch some fish for tonight!"

"Tonight?" I asked. "What's tonight?"

"Oh my mom wanted to know if you wanted to have dinner with us?"

"Oh sure!" I replied. "Is tonight gonna be casual or formal?" I asked with a grin. The first time I invited Gale over for dinner he wore his best clothes—his mother wanted him to look presentable—but my mother, Prim and I were all in pants and casual shirts.

"Oh shut up, Catnip!" he laughed. "My mother forced me to! You're really never gonna let me forget that are you?"

"Probably not! Now let's get down to the lake!" I laughed.

Gale's POV

Gosh I loved her. I couldn't believe I was having feelings for a 15 year old and not only that but she was Catnip! We'd been best friends for three years and now, I just loved being around her. I would always go and kiss the merchant girls to make her jealous, but she never seemed to care, she still says she will never date. Lately though I've been catching Mellark staring at her at school, I might have to go beat him up!

We got down to the lake and she started taking off her clothes until all she was in were her shorts and bra, I took off my t-shirt and snuck up and pushed Catnip in! She started screaming, and then dunked me. We swam and hunted the rest of the afternoon. When we were walking home I could see she was pre-occupied by something else. When we got to her house I told her to come over at 6 and she agreed. I gave her a quick hug and walked down to my house. I was looking forward to tonight!

So what did you think? Well please give me reviews so I know to continue or not! I will probably do another chapter but after that, it's up to all of you if I continue or not so have a great Labor Day everyone and review! :)
