"Stay away from my traps, got it?" I yell at the the annoying girls. I mean, really. I thought I made it quite clear that I don't want any hunt-body. First time I felt bad for her so I let her go easily. But twice is more than enough.
"You can relax. I won't go any near you precious traps anymore. They suck anyway." She says in a teasing tone. Shocked, it takes a moment for me to react.
"Are you and idiot? This are the best trap you'll ever see!" I snap at her. She stares at me, not alarmed and not afraid.
"No they not. See? The trap is empty." She smile smugly. I look down and she's right. I guess I messed up with the rob or something. But still, She's definitely not the person to tell me how should I hunt.
notice a small squirrel behind a bosh. Its time to shut this annoying girl, once and for all.
"Yeah Catnip? If you are so much better than me, let see your hunting skills." I challenge her. she smiles and takes my bow and arrows. I raise me eyebrow in humor when she struggles with the weight of the bow.
"Why won't you just give..." I stop when she shots. A little shirk sound, and quiet. She goes behind the bosh and picks up the squirrel, the arrow right on his heart.
"Don't ever understate me." She whisperers and vanishes back into our district.
"And It's Katniss, Asshole!" She yells without turning around
.
"Hey Gale!" I hear a giggle behind me. I ignore it, and continue to check out the new equipment, even thought I know it will be useless,I swear, Capitol can't make a decant knife.
"HEY GALE!" Lorianna says loudly.
"I'm working here." I mumble to her. For some reason, she still here.
"Really? What are you doing?" She asks.
"Planning how I'm going to ruin the whole world." Lorianna stares at me with a blank look. After a few seconds she realizes I'm joking. She tries to laugh gracefully, but instead she giggles again, nervously. I hate giggles. They are so fake and idiotic. And I hate the slutty girls here in district 2.
"Please leave." I plead her. She seems offended but finally leaves. I know I am not too harsh on her. In district 2 all the girl are powerful and know what they want. And unless you have the balls to tell them your not in to them, they'll never leave you alone. I miss the time when everything was simpler. When I knew my world well. But now, after the whole rebel thing I'm not sure where I am standing. Not politically, but socially.
Once, only five years ago I knew my goal. To keep my and katniss's family alive. But now that I'm alone, with no one but myself to lookout for... I don't know. I guess I'm feeling kinda off... Empty.
Sometimes I think what would have happened if Katniss never played in the hunger games. There's a very good chance that me and her would get married. eventually.
Because I know Peeta couldn't have confessed his feelings for her. And even if he did she wouldn't care. After all, She never Knew him .Prim would live, and so all the other people in district 12.
But even so, I wouldn't change a thing. . I know what happened had to happened so the revulsion could exist. I just wish it wasn't on my, and prim's expense.
"Galie! I've been looking for you!" Laina cries. She runs into my arms with a sad smile.
Laina is four years old, with long red hair and big green eyes. She's Bettee and Shaloa's daughter and for some reason she likes me. I like her too. She's like a sister to me.
"Hey there Lainie. What are you doing here?" I ask, amused. She shrugs.
"My father took me here so I came to look for you." She says like it obvious.
District 2 is the perfect place for me. I'm not sure though why do we need weapons. The war ended. What else do we need to be prepared for?
"Laine. There you are! I told you, stop bothering Gale!" Bettee rebuke her. She just laughs and hugs him.
"I'm sorry Gale. But this thing just keeps running from me!" He says as While poking her in her little belly. She laughs and runs off to god knows where.
"Nice." I muttered. Ever since the war ended Bette is my best friend. He is the only one who understand how I'm feeling.
"Sorry for that. She really loves you." He grins at me. I shrug. Actually she reminds me of Prim when she was in her age. I feel a small pinch in my chest. Prim was like a second sister to me. And though I know that I didn't killed her directly, it sure does feel that way.
"Yeah, no big deal." I whisper.
"Anyway, I came here to tell you there's a new kid in town."
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Well there a girl that came to town today. She's no going to stay long but we need to treat her well. Her mother is one of the politician in the Capitol. And we really need their support. So behave yourself, Alright? "
"What does it have to do with me?"
"She'll come her and examine our work. Don't be too much of an asshole to her okay? "
"When was I ever being an asshole?" I dissemble.
"When were you not?"
"That's true" I sigh.
