"Gale! I said to knead the dough! Not punch it!" I yell as Gale destroys yet another glob of dough.
"Sorry 'bout that Peeta…" Gale says eyeing the dough.
We have gone through at least three globs of dough since we started. If my mother knew how much we were wasting, she would be so angry with me. Gale keeps insisting that he try again, but it doesn't work out. I just want to make him happy though, to keep ours minds occupied away from Katniss. So far this along with the hunting has really helped. Gale and I are becoming more and more friendly with one another as the days go on. We actually understand each other's feelings.
"Here Gale, let me help you," I say reaching over to gale's mess of dough. "You need to be more calm and relaxed as you knead. You're over working it, causing it to stretch." I slowly but calmly and sternly squeeze the dough on the table. Gale watches intently. "Now you try," I say rolling it towards him.
"Alright, I'll give it another go," Gale says wearily. He slowly rubs and rolls the dough carefully. His worn hands work through it with care. "I think I'm doing it!" Gale says excitedly, beginning to roll faster and harder.
"Gale! The dough is going to-" I begin as the dough tears under the pressure of Gale's tough hands. "Don't worry about it Gale," I say. You could try again?" I suggest.
"Nah, it's alright," Gale says. "I guess baking isn't for me, Bread Boy. Maybe you should stick to baking and I stick to hunting… How about I hunt and give some of my catch to you and you bake and give some of your breads to me? Deal?"
"Sounds like a deal," I say. Looks like now my father won't have to pay as much for meat. All we have to do is give Gale and his family some bread. My father will be so excited.
I walk with Gale back to his house. "Have you thought about her at all today?" Gale asks me quietly.
"Actually no. Ever since I started hanging with you, my nightmares have ceased. I feel like I could go through a day normal and not just mope and mourn." I tell the truth.
"Same here," Gale adds. "Now that we hangout I have forgotten about all my thoughts of Katniss. I don't mean I have forgotten her completely and cut her out of my life, I just mean that I feel normal. I really do miss her, but now I could relax. Do you get what I mean?"
"Yeah," I say. "I understand exactly what you mean. I feel the same way."
Gale hesitates, "Well that's good, that we get each other."
"Yeah, I enjoy hanging out with you Gale. I had fun today." I reply.
"Me too, Bread Boy," Gale says as he enters his house. "Me too."
