Hi! Thank you for all your reviews! So, I decided not to have Katniss's dad die. I'm sorry if you don't like my decision, but majority rules! A lot of you also wanted Gale to be in the story, so I'll put him in there, except I'm not sure what chapter yet. Katniss and Peeta are 8 now and in third grade! And someone asked me in an earliar chapter if there will be Hunger Games. I originally said no, but now I'm unsure. Tell me what you think.
Peeta and I walk to our usual table for lunch, where we sit with Madge, Delly, and Annie. "Hey Guys!" I said and sat down next to Madge, and Peeta sat next to me. Delly sat across from Madge, and Annie sat across from me.
"I wonder who the new kid is. Didn't say he was gonna come during lunch today?" I ask.
"Yah, I think he came from one of the earliar number districts, like 1,2,3, or 4." Madge replied.
"I hope he's cute!" Delly said. I rolled my eyes and laughed along with everyone else.
"Do you think that's him? Because if it is, he is most definitely cut!" Madge said pointing to a boy with bronze hair and green eyes. He looks very familiar. Wait! I know who that is! It's the boy who saw me and Peeta kiss like 100 times that summer. I turn to face Peeta and realize he was bright red. We both start to get up to run away from him, because he might embarrass us in front of our friends. But we were too late.
"Loverboy? Is that you?" He asked. Peeta and I slowly turn around.
"And you still got your lady, I see." He said, nodding his head towards me. I gave him a small smile.
"Hey, Finnick! So you're the new kid?" I ask.
"That would be me." He said with a smile. "Who's this pretty girl? May I sit next to her?" He asks.
"Her name is Annie. And you will have to ask her yourself." I said.
"May I sit next to you?" He asked. Annie was blushing and then nodded her head yes. He smiled back at her and sat.
"So, you may be wondering how I know Katniss and Peeta. Well, these two came on vacation to my district. District 4!" He said proudly.
"And when they were there…" He starts to say with a michievious grin.
"You know what? How about they tell you themselves!" He says. Oh great. There is no way I am telling them.
"Well, we got to do a lot of swimming!" I said with a happy voice.
"And…" Finnick guides us.
"Oh, right! How could we forget! We got to try lobster!"
"JUST TELL THEM ALREADY!" Finnick practically screamed.
"We got to go on Finnick's boat!" I said.
"Katniss and Loverboy kissed. A lot of times! And I got to see it." He says. I hear my heart beating fast. I turn and see Peeta's face is bright red, and I would bet you a million dollars mine is too.
"Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?" Annie asked eagerly.
"Best friends." I stated. Finnick just laughed and I looked over at Delly. She's not saying anything and is avoiding eye contact. What's up with her? She's usually always talkative.
"I think you should go out. I know a pretty lady who I'd like to have be my girlfriend." He said and smiled at Annie. She started blushing.
"We're only 8, you know. Isn't it a bit too early?" Madge asked.
"Nah. I had my first girlfriend when I was 6. I used the" Finnick started, but me and Peeta finished his sentence.
"Finnick charm."
"What can I say? It works!" He said, wiggling his eyebrows. We all started laughing.
"Madge is just saying that because she doesn't want to talk her crush yet. Gale Hawthorne. That's him over there." I said pointing to a boy with grey eyes and brown hair.
"Hey, Hawthorne! Over here!" Finnick shouted, causing Madge's eyes to go wide and blush a lot. Gale nodded in our direction, and started making his way toward us.
"You got a girlfriend? I'm not asking for me, but one of my friends are interested. He smiled at this and looked my way.
"Not that chick. She's taken. Again, not by me, but by blondie. See that girl, Madge, well, you too would be perfect together. So what do you say, you in? And by the way, if you ever need any help in your love life, I'm the guy to ask. I have a special charm I use to win over the girl. My name is Finnick the Matchmaker."
"Yah, sure. See ya later, Madge!" He said with a smile and winked. He walked away and ate with his friends. I could just see anger in Madge's eyes.
"Hey, how'd I do?" He asks with a smile.
"I hate you!" Madge ran off and started crying. Finnick's eyes got big, and you could just tell he felt sorry. Delly and Annie ran off to go help her, while Peeta and I stayed with Finnick.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, guys. It worked at my old school, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay. It's just that, last year, there was this girl, who I think her name was Jo, came to our school for like 3 weeks, and found out who Madge liked. At the time, it was this boy named Cato, and anyways, Jo told her older sister, who told everyone in school, and kids started making fun of her for it. It was terrible. So now, she's afraid it is gonna happen again." I explained.
"Oh. Well, I'm really sorry. I promise I didn't mean to hurt her. I'm sorry. I think I'll go tell her that." He said and made his way over to the corner of the cafeteria where Madge is sitting.
"Madge, I'm really sorry. I hope you'll forgive me. I promise I didn't mean to hurt you." He says.
"It's okay. Did Katniss and Peeta tell you what happened last time?" Madge asked. He shook his head yes and then hugged her.
Hey Guys! Sorry for the really short chapter! And I wasn't planning on adding Gale in there yet, but I did. In upcoming chapters I will have some Katniss/Peeta/Gale drama! Please review and tell me if you want Hunger Games!
