Okay Chapter 3!

The six of them agreed to meet at Peeta's house so that they could all go together at the party and since it is near the school. Thom and Gale are already there. They are waiting for the girls to arrive.

"Hey guys sorry we are late, I have a hard time convincing Katniss to wear make-up." Delly said while making her way to Thom.

"Thanks Delly for making Katniss even more beautiful but I think with or without make-up she looks amazing." Peeta said.

"Oh shut up Peeta it's embarrassing." Katniss said.

"Why I'm just telling the truth?" Peeta said.

"She's right Katniss, it is one of the duties of a boyfriend to tell their girlfriend how beautiful they are, that's why I'm going to say this." Thom turned to Delly while he gave her a rose. "Delly Cartwright you look so amazing tonight and I am the luckiest man because I have you as my date."

Delly blushed really hard and kissed Thom.

"Okay guys enough with the love talk, you do realize that Madge and I are still here right?"

"Shut up Gale you are just jealous."

"Whatever."

Honestly he is jealous not because of his friends' relationship but because he can't say what he wanted to say and that is how beautiful Madge look tonight. He can't say it because he doesn't anything to be awkward. They all left for the party. The two couples are in front of Gale and Madge.

"Pretty Dress." Gale mentally slapped himself because he can't think of other compliment to say to her.

"Thanks, you look good yourself."

"I'm not really good at these things."

"Really? I thought since you are popular you like going to parties."

"Not really, but I think tonight I will be able to enjoy this party."

"Of course because you got me, Katniss, Peeta and Delly."

"Yeah and because now I have the most beautiful girl in school as my date."

Madge blushed and went silent. Gale suddenly became embarrass. He couldn't believe he just said those things although he doesn't regret it because it's the truth.

They all enjoyed the party. Meeting new people. The six of them even danced. Gale and Madge were talking at their table when they here Katniss shouting at somebody. The run to where she is immediately.

"What the hell is your problem Glimmer?" Katniss asked.

"You are my problem, you don't belong here. You think just because you wear a dress you can now go to these kinds of party. You are still that awkward weird girl just like in middle school." Glimmer said.

"Shut up Glimmer, you are just jealous of Katniss because Peeta chose her. I mean who would blame him, who would want to be with a slut like you." Delly said defending her friend.

"Okay guys stop it, you are making a scene." Madge said stopping her friends from making a bigger commotion.

"Oh look who it is, it's Princess Perfect. You are still following these two? Well you definitely belong in this pathetic group because all of you are losers. Especially you Undersee after being dumped by your boyfriend, who wouldn't blame him, aside from being rich you are nothing, no one would want to be with you. I bet you came here alone"

"Actually she came with me." Gale said walking over to Madge.

"Gale Hawthorne? You're with her? You've got to be kidding me?" Glimmer asked surprise.

"I'm not kidding Madge is my date tonight, any problem with that? And I don't appreciate you saying nasty about my friends especially my date."

Glimmer just stood there shocked, she can't believe that the hottest guy in school is Madge's date. She feels so embarrassed. Suddenly a guy came to the scene.

"Any problem here?" asked the guy.

All seven of them turn to see who the guy is. Glimmer smiled, Thom and Gale just stood there wondering who the guy is while the other four (Katniss, Peeta, Delly and Madge) all looked shocked and angry.

"Cato, what the hell are you doing here?" Peeta asked angrily.

"He came here with me, since he is my boyfriend." Glimmer said while looking at Madge.

Madge looked away, Gale saw this and he remembered the four's reaction when they saw the guy named Cato and how angry Peeta at this guy, he finally understood, this is the guy who hurt Madge. Even though he doesn't know what this guy did to Madge he can already feel himself wanting to punch this guy.

"Well, your girlfriend seems to have a problem with my friends. We all came here to want to have some fun not to fight over some stupid things that happened when you guys were still in middle school." Gale said trying to calm the situation.

"And who are you?" Cato asked.

"Gale Hawthorne, I'm a senior."

"So what if you are Gale Hawthorne and a senior, you still don't have any right to say things to my girlfriend." Cato said.

"Like what I said I didn't like the way your girlfriend treated my friends especially my girlfriend Madge." Gale cannot believe what that he just called Madge his girlfriend. But he did it anyway, he doesn't want Madge to be laughed at by these horrible people, and he also want to see the look on Cato's face when he said that Madge is his girlfriend. Madge and the others just stood there looking shocked.

"So you found my replacement Princess." Cato said to Madge who still looked shocked at what Gale said.

"Stop calling her Princess, and you don't have any right to talk to her anymore." Katniss said.

"Whatever Everdeen, you're not worth my time. I heard you're with Mellark, you belong together, you are all trash. And you Hawthorne, don't talk big on me just because you're a senior. You're going to get bored at her, she will not do the things that you did with your other girls."

"What do you mean?" Gale asked furious at Cato.

"Well, that girl acts as if she is perfect and just always do what her daddy ask. She is just a boring daddy's girl and like what I did you are just going to dumped her like trash."

Gale couldn't handle it anymore and started punching Cato. The two fight, Peeta and Thom tried to stop the two but they are so strong that nobody could stop them from fighting. Then the gym teacher came and stopped the fight. He also ordered the two of them to leave the party.

"I hate you, I can't believe you ruined the party. This is supposed to be the night where I will make fun of Madge Undersee because you pick me." Glimmer whines.

"Shut up. I don't care about your little acquaintance party or your dream to crash Madge." Cato said.

"Why are you so mad? Is it because of her? You can't believe that she found someone."

"Don't you dare say that again." Cato said angrily to Glimmer and then left her.


Gale was sitting at the bench outside the school. He'll be waiting for his friends so that he could apologize for what he did.

"Hey Gale."

"Madge go back to the party, you are not kicked out, you should go back at Katniss and the others."

"I don't want to go back to the party. I'd rather stay with you."

"Madge you don't have to do that."

"I know but I want to. By the way thanks for saving us back there, Glimmer is such a bitch."

"Woah, didn't know you could say that."

"Shut up, I have the right to be angry too, you know. But more than that thanks for standing up to me and for saying those things to Cato, I know you hit him to defend me and my friends, which leads to you being kicked out in the party, and for that I apologize."

"Don't worry about it, you guys are my friends, I did what I just have to do. And besides I think being kicked out is actually a good thing because now I could spend some time with you alone."

Madge blushed a little bit. "Thanks, I guess. By the way you shouldn't have told Cato that I am your girlfriend, I am sure a lot of people heard that and it will hurt your reputation."

"What reputation? I don't care what other people are going to say, and besides I don't regret saying it?"

"What do you mean?"

"When Peeta told me about your ex-boyfriend he told me that he hurt you. After hearing that, all I can think about is how I want to punch that guy, I mean seriously, who would someone like you? Why did he dump you anyway? Please don't tell me because he dumped for that girl Glimmer, because seriously that would be the craziest thing he will do."

"Well, he didn't necessarily dump me because he fell in love with Glimmer, it's because I said NO."

"What do you mean?"

"He wants to do things that are more than just kissing and I said no."

"He dumped you just because you said no. he really is a bastard. You don't deserve him Madge. You're better without him."

"Thanks, Gale. Again back to the topic, why did you say that you didn't regret telling him that I am your girlfriend?"

"Well like what I said I want to protect you from being hurt by that guy again. I thought the reason for that is because you are my friend, and then a while ago when he was saying those things to you and I found out that he was your boyfriend, the urge to hurt him became higher. I think the reason for that is because I like you more than a friend. I am jealous that you had a relationship with that guy."

"So you're saying that you like me?"

"Yes, but I don't want to pressure you. If you want to stay friends it's okay."

"Gale, I like you too, and after what you did I think I will be crazy to say no to your confession."

"Well I guess I should do what Thom said a while ago. Madge Undersee you are the most beautiful girl that I have ever met, and I will hurt any guy who will make you cry. And by the way I am the luckiest guy to be able to call you my girlfriend."

"Thank you, and Gale Hawthorne, you are the most handsome and strongest man I've ever met. I am very lucky to have you as my knight and shining armor."

And then they kissed.
