I do not own anything

Gale POV

"Wake up Gale!" I heard my mom shout.

"What time is it?" I asked myself. The clock said 6:15 am. Time for school.

The only good thing that comes out of school is seeing Catnip. The rest is crap. Literally.

I usually zone out throughout the day. No one cares.

"Hurry up Gale!" my little brother Rory said.

Shit! I forgot Rory had to be at school early today.

I quickly brushed my teeth and put on some clothes.

"Come on" Rory hustled my out the door.

I could see Prim and Catnip from a distance.

Prim had her blonde hair down and Katniss' was up in it's usual side braid.

"Don't stare it's rude" Rory said. Crap! Did he just catch me staring at Katniss? Of course he did!

"I could say the same about you" I said. It was quite obvious he had a crush on Katniss' little sister Prim.

They'd be perfect for each other if they were only older.

Rory blushed. It was so weird to seem him blush.

"I was looking at the trees. I thought I saw a peacekeeper" what? That was all I could come up with? Well, it was better than nothing.

"Sure" he dragged out.

Peeta POV

I could barely sleep last night. All I could think about were the words Gale said.

He would definitely tell Katniss unless... that's the thing that kept me awake all night long!

What does he want me to do? If he asks me to stay away from Katniss, I will not. I love her.

Why would Gale even do that? Unless he likes her.

That's it! Gale Hawthrone has a crush on Katniss Everdeen.

I'm surprised it took me that long to figure it out. The way he's so protective of her and always near her.

The way his fist clenches, like mine when another boy just even looks at her.

I've got nothing to worry about though he'll be leaving for the mines in two years.

My mind relaxed and I let out a laugh, "All worked up about nothing."

"Worked up about what?" Rye, my older brother, asked.

"N-nothing" I smiled and left the room. I punched the air with joy.

Today was going to be a great day.

Katniss POV

I dropped Prim off before heading to my classroom. I sat behind a girl named Lea. Lea and I were friends, I guess. We talked a couple of times.

Not a friendship like Gale and I have, but she's a nice acquaintance.

I watched Peeta come in with a big grin on his face.

I wonder why he's so happy. I should really go talk to him about the other day. It was so nice, yet so out of the blue.

I'll talk to him after class. Hopefully.

Gale POV

I spent the rest of the school day zoning out and pretending to take notes.

This was my last period. Science. I just had to get through it.

All I could think about was Katniss. This was so unusual. I never thought about her... that way.

"Mr. Hawthrone, could you be ever so kindly and read the next sentence?" my science teacher asked me politely.

He obviously knew I wasn't paying attention. Stupid teacher.

"Uh" I searched the book stupidly. What the hell is this stuff?

"Detention, Mr. Hawthrone. I have had enough of your daydreaming fantasies during my class. I would highly suggest you go see a counselor" the bald, stout man said.

"A counselor? I don't think I'm the one who needs to see a counselor. You, however, do" I don't know what just came out of my mouth, but I don't think it's so good.

"Detention for a month" he turned around and told someone named Alyssa to continue reading.

Dammit! How was I supposed to tell Katniss I won't be able to hunt with her after school?

RING! Thank god, I was saved by the bell!

I bolted out of my seat and out the door.

I ran to the elementary kids school and saw Katniss.

She was talking to Prim.

"Gale-" Rory started as he spotted me.

"Katniss, can I talk to you?" I inquired, no instructed.

"Sure. We here Prim" she said so soft and kind in the voice that I love so much.

"I have detention for the entire month. I'm so sorry, can you take Rory home? Thanks, bye" I ran before she could say anything.

If I was late for detention, surely I would be given more.

What would Katniss do without me in the meantime?

What would Katniss do without Gale in the meantime. Perfect chance for a certain boy, nudge, nudge, wink, wink to swoop in. Tell me what you think! Review and I hope you enjoyed reading this.
