DISCLAIMER: i don't own The Hunger Games

Admirer

Gale yawned and gave Finnick a look. He had no idea why they were at the local high school. They were college students for goodness sakes! Why was Finnick wasting his time on a girl here?


As the performance went on, Gale thought of ways to kill Finnick.

He was only distracted from his thoughts a few times.

Once when a small brunette did a dance routine that included a series of gymnastic flips and turns and tricks that made Cato lean forward in his seat and whistle once she was done.

Gale smirked and groaned at the same time.

Another time when his old neighbor Katniss sang a lullaby that made people weep. He saw his roommate Peeta stare at her dumbstruck.

This time he sighed. There was no point in wishing otherwise. It looks like he would be sending his summer at the local high school hangouts.

Another when Finnick nudged him as another brunette girl came up and began dancing ballet. He guesses it was Annie.

He sighed. He doubted he would look good in orange. These girls looked liked sophomores.


However after that, he is bored and is dozing off.

Then that's when it happens.

A girl, a blonde girl walks onto the stage as a piano is pushed on.

She's wearing a pretty white dress and her blonde princess curls are tied back with a pink ribbon. She looks innocent, young, and totally Gale's fantasy girl.

Perfect little school girl.


Gale doesn't realize that he is leaning forward in his seat, but his friends do and they exchange grins.

Gale can't keep his eyes off her. He is enchanted by her.

Her fingers danced across the keys and she swayed to the beat.

After she was done, Gale was on his feet, clapping and cheering.


Madge blushed when she saw the tall man clap.

He was tall, rugged, and very handsome.

Backstage, Katniss and Clove, her two best friends teased her about her admirer.

Then Annie grabbed their hands.

"Finn is here and he brought friends and flowers!"


The three girls exchanged grins. The fourth member of their group had begun dating a college boy and was very much in love. The feeling was mutual, judging by the red roses. It was their luck that all four of them had been accepted to the same college as Finn.

They rushed after their friend.

Madge paused as she saw that her admirer was a friend of Finnick.

Clove simply pulled her along.

Introductions were made and they all headed to the diner to eat.

Annie and Finnick held hands.

Cato and Clove argued about weapons and fighting tactics.

Peeta and Katniss walked side by side.

She ended up next to her admirer, Gale.

She could feel his eyes on her.


When they got to Greasy Sae's they all slid into the circle booth.

Gale was tense because he was sitting next to the piano player, Madge.

She was pretty and sweet and funny and he wanted to get to know her better.

While everyone else talked and joked, then two remained silent, neither being able to talk to the other.


After they ate, everyone got ready to head home.

Thresh; who was Annie's neighbor was going to pick up the girls.

Gale watched as his friends all said good byes to the girls they liked and he took a deep breath and turned to Madge.

"Madge."

She turned towards him and he was stunned by how blue her eyes were.

"Can I get your number? I want to get to know you better. I know I came off as rude earlier but I have trouble talking to you for someone unknown reason. You are really pretty and talented …"

Madge giggled as he rambled on and kissed his cheek unexpectedly.

She them took his phone and typed in her number.

"Text me."


Then she climbed into Thresh's van (used to cart the Girl Scouts around and on occasionally teenagers).

Gale touched his cheek and smiled.

Then he shot her a text.

"Are you busy tomorrow?"

Madge smiled when she got the message and sent back a reply.


Second update of the night!

I take requests so if you have any ideas hit me up and I'll give you credit.

Love you Wallflowers
