I do not own anything! Review and enjoy!
Gale POV
She is perfect.
Katniss Everdeen is perfect.
The problem is... almost every other guy thinks that way about her too.
She's 15 and when people turn 15 especially guys...their thoughts go wild.
Trust me I had experience.
But she's just a really good friend. I don't like her that way. At least I think I don't.
Ever since yesterday she was all I could think about.
It all started when I was walking down the hall.
Blonde hair, blue eyes. That was what they looked like.
4 muscular boys huddled into their own clique.
"... Yeah she's in my science class" one of them said.
"My math class" another one said.
"She's my partner... in bed tonight" one smirked and I balled my hands into fists.
They had to be at least 16. She'd have no chance against them.
After the snide comment the group laughed. Were all 16 year old boys like this?
"Seriously guys" one said. I recognized that voice from the bakery Catnip and I usually sell at.
"Come on we're just joking with you Peeta" the tallest one said. His name was Peeta! Now I remember him.
"We think you're little crush on Katniss is cute" Peeta Mellark has a crush on my Catnip?
"But she's always with that other guy" he complained. I am not "the other guy!"
"He's got no chance, and besides he's just a friend. If it helps you could take him down... maybe" snide commenter said.
"Just don't let him find out. I've heard about him and he has a reputation. A hardcore, fight winning, mean reputation. If you find out he does like her, tell me. It'll be great blackmail" one said.
"What are you doing?" Katniss sneaked up behind me.
"N-nothing" I started to walk away with her.
"You want to go hunting?" she asked me.
"Sure Catnip" I bid her a farewell and headed off in my direction.
Peeta POV
"Just don't let him find out. I've heard about him and he has a reputation. A hardcore, fight winning, mean reputation. If you find out he does like her, tell me. It'll be great blackmail" David told me.
"I never have a chance with her though! She's always with him!" I whined.
"Follow them" John spoke up.
"Could you come with me then?" I asked my friends.
"Sure..." John trailed off.
"Sorry, I promised to help Lily with her homework" David said.
"Mom grounded me" Alex rolled his eyes.
"Let's go" I motioned to John. We walked around for a while when we spotted Katniss.
She looked so beautiful with her coat on and side braid.
I followed her until I realized where she was going. The woods.
John continued to go, so I gathered up the courage and trailed silently behind.
"Hey Catnip" an unknown voice could be heard.
"Hey Gale" so his name was Gale.
I hated how he called her "Catnip" it made me burn inside.
"Fish or hunt?" he asked her.
"Hunt" she sounded so determined.
They're going to kill? Just focus on Katniss' perfect, soothing voice.
"Let's go" he said and they were on the move.
John shot me a glance and I started to worry.
What happens on these hunting trips?
IS it just hunting?
