More than ever I wanted to show Clove and gimmer that I could win. I would beat them and laugh when they cried. I would laugh at their pain and make sure they saw me laughing. I am gonna laugh so hard.
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here.
Since Rue was so intent on helping me I figured that helping her wouldn't be too much to ask for. We spent a few days making posters with glitter and cool slogans like "VOTE FOR KATNIP! SHE CAN DO ARCHERY AND STUFF" and drew some rainbows and cupcakes on them. You know, cute stuff. I thought it would be inappropriate to include the fact that Rue doesn't do so well with knives on her poster. Let's keep it family friendly.
On Friday Peeta helped me bake cookies with arrows and bows on them so I could pass them out to sway voters. "Vote for Katniss! She's really cool." I said that about ten times that day, but what do you expect? I am pretty cool.
At the end of the day I finally saw Gale, who had been ignoring me until now. He looked guilty. "Sorry for avoiding you. I'm a jerk." He was certainly right about that.
"It's cool. So what's up?" I asked, handing out the last cookie. I hope they would be enough to let me win.
"I was wondering if...maybe...oh, i dotn know..." He hestitated.
"Do you wanna go to prom with me, Kittynap?" He smiled.
I felt myself blush. "Sure, why not." I replied. "You can help me win queen!"
