About halfway back to the cafeteria, I saw Gale materialize out of the shadows, right before me. I leapt back in fright.
"W-what are you doing here?" I stuttered.
He looked hurt. "Just checking to see if you were okay, I heard what happened."
I sucked in a breath. How? As if he was reading my mind, Gale replied instantaneously. "I saw Annie… slap you in the face." He winced.
"Oh." I felt like a rock just fell into a pit in my stomach. "Um, eh, anything else to talk about…?" I sounded sheepish.
"No. I should go now," Gale mumbled. He spun on his heels and stalked down the hallway. Great. Everyone hates me now. Might as well skip supper today. I turned to the left, where the sleeping dormitories were located. Right before I entered I saw a figure sitting on my bed. Who was that? I saw some blond hair peeking past the covers wrapping around the head, and I knew who it was. Prim.
At the sound of my startled squeak, Prim turned her head, and caught sight of me. I was overjoyed to see her and ran to give her a big bear-hug, but I realized something was wrong. Her eyes were violet, and a white rose was clutched in her hand.
Note: Hello! I've decided to write more of this just because I don't want to give up on something so quickly. I'm sorry this chapter is sooo short, because i wrote it in like, 10 minutes, but I still hope you will enjoy! Promise I will upload as soon as possible.
