Thank you so much for favoriting/following my story! Anyway, here's the next chapter. :D (Sorry, it's kind of short.)
"Hurry up!" Katniss had been out here at the mall with Madge for at least two hours, and she was getting more and more irritated by the minute, or by the second. "This is getting ridiculous, Madge! We've been here over two hours! First perfume, the jewelry, then shoes, and now the actual clothes. And we haven't eaten since lunch at school."
"Katniss, it's not my fault that you don't like fancy clothes! It's yours! Ooh, look at this one!" Madge held out a sparkly gold dress that momentarily blinded her. "Well, what do you think?"
"Madge, that dress made me blind for a few seconds! There's no way I'd ever wear that. Plus, it's not my style."
"Ugh, I can't win this! You know what Katniss? Fine, go on your date with Peeta in your hunting gear. See if I care." Whoa, what did she say about Peeta?
"What do you mean 'go on your date with Peeta'? I told you I don't like any of those boys! I swear Madge, if you're setting me up-" Madge cut her off.
"Katniss, calm down! It's just a date with... one of the most attractive and popular guys in scho- oh, yeah. That's not good. Don't mess it up Katniss, or you'll be sorry." With that, Madge started to walk away, leaving behind her very confused friend.
She got home late that afternoon and decided to keep this shopping trip a secret. Just between her and Madge. And her diary.
Katniss wasn't good at expressing herself or keeping secrets. Therefore, she expressed herself and held all her darkest secrets in a top secret diary under lock and key. No-one would ever discover it's very simple hiding spot, just under her pillow. She closed the door and locked it, then pulled out her diary and wrote an entry:
Dear diary,
Tomorrow I'm going out with Madge to the movies and then dinner. But I'm going with Peeta Mellark. Madge is going with Gale Hawthorne, which is the whole reason I have to go. Today, Madge and I went shopping after school because, and I quote, "your wardrobe is pitiful! Nothing fancy at all!". Ridiculous, huh? Madge ended up leaving me because I didn't like any of the crazy clothes she showed me. And now here I am, wondering what to wear tomorrow. I wish Prim could help, but I'm keeping this secret. Well, bye!
Sincerely, Katniss
She closed her tattered diary, locked it, and hid it back under her pillow. She the heard her mother call for dinner, so she raced downstairs, starved by today's events.
