Chapter 9 – KPOV:
A/N: Wow, I'm kind of surprised by the response to chapter 7. I didn't think people would really like it. I mean, I had writer's block when I wrote it, so when I didn't like it, I didn't think other people would. Then again, you've all been so lovely. I knew I would get nice reviews on it. :)
From now on, when I write, I'm listening to music. It kind of seems to work. In fact, I'm listening to Try (from Bridge to Terabithia) by Hayden Penettiere, and I'm typing a lot faster! Music always has had a good impression on me, anyway… :)
Moving on!
GirlonFire10203: I'm glad you think it wasn't bad, but I think it was just awful. I kinda just used it as a filler… And I was rushed and tired and couldn't exactly think straight... Glad you still like it! :-) Jmac2000: Yes, I know they didn't. But they're up now! :) EpicNinja8: Thanks! I'm glad you like it! :-) PeetaLuver1: Thanks! I hope you like this update! :-) LeslieMellark: Haha… :D Bluedog270: I'm surprised that people actually liked that chapter! But it be what it be… ;) FlyAlone: Yeah, I thought it would be interesting if the readers got a taste of what Gale was thinking. It's usually about revenge… *laughs evilly* But Gale will be Gale, right? Evil and stupid… :D
Just one last note: Check the reviews. If something isn't right with the chapters, I will post it on the reviews. Now I am completely moving on. Behold, CHAPTER 9!
I walk through the forest soundlessly, waiting for game to come wandering out to its certain death, when I hear a rustling behind me.
"Gale, I can hear you," I say.
"Whatever," he replies coolly.
"What the hell is your problem?" I yell, spinning around to face him.
"He… Mellark is the problem! Why can't you see that?" he yells. I think to myself for a moment. Then it hits me.
Gale is so jealous, he had to say he loved me.
"Ooh, somebody's jealous!" I say, smirking.
"Don't you start!" he growls.
"Gale, you don't even love me! You're just jealous that I spend so much time with Peeta!" I yell.
"I do so! You don't believe me?" he yells.
"No, I don't believe you, because if you really did love me, you would let me go!" I yell. Because I'm so aggravated with him, I storm out of the forest and back to District 12, where Peeta is. As I approach the Town Square, I hear him calling my name. I slow down my walking because I know by now that he can't reach me because I'm so close to the bakery and Peeta. But within fifteen seconds, I feel hands lock an iron grip on my arm as he drags me back.
"Peeta!" I shriek.
Mrs. Mellark runs out of the bakery and almost screams as she sees me, and I wonder why. I think she really has changed if she cares enough to see what is happening to me, let alone reading the shocked and scared expression on her face.
A/N: I made this super short for a reason. I want to put you all in suspense, duh! I got this great idea, and I figured maybe I should take advantage of that and use the art of suspense on you all. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! I am taking a short break to eat a chicken pot pie, if you don't mind. If you guys are still awake, maybe you'll be able to read the next chapter ;). Next update around 9:30-10:00, okay? I'm sure you can all live with that…
