KATNISS POV

I'm in the woods with Gale as usual we just shot down 6 squirrels', 5 rabbits, and a buck it's the best we've done all year! We were just leaving when Gale asks me," Hey Catnip what would you do if I kissed you?" Before I had time to answer his lips were on mine and I couldn't think straight his lips were rough and demanding and I was sure I would have some sort of bruise there.

"GALE!"I scream when he pulls away.

"Yes Catnip?"

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!"

"I kissed you. And?

"WERE BESTFRIENDS!"

"WELL MAYBE I WANTED MORE THAN THAT!" I can hear the anger rising in his voice when he says that.

I'm shocked and it must show on my face because he continues his voice more calm now.

"When I first saw you in the woods when we met all I saw was a beautiful young woman admiring my work,"

"W-what" I manage to stutter out

"I saw a beautiful young woman like a goddess with dark hair and the and glowing gray eyes at first I thought it was a hallucination brought on by my state of hunger, but it was you."

"Why me?"I ask gale was handsome dark almost jetblack brown hair and the same gray seam eyes I have it and he's pretty fit. I always hear the girls whispering about how "hot" he is even the stuck up merchant girls it wouldn't be hard for him to get a girlfriend.

"Why not you?"he asks.

"Because, I'm me."

"I'm not following."

"I'm ordinary, plain, antisocial, boring, ug-"

He cuts me off," Stop talking about yourself like that!"

"It's true gale and you know it!" And it is I don't talk much, I'm not good with people, I'm just another Seam Rat to everyone anyway so I don't even bother to stand out but I always do stand out as the ugly Seam Rat who lost her father.

Instead of answering Gale just pulls me in for another kiss I don't even bother to fight. He takes this for permission to move on and starts to touch my breasts I pull away immediately.

Instead of screaming I slap him and run into the square where I bump into someone.

I look up ready to snap at them until I see the stunning blue eyes and blonde hair and I know it was my savoir.
