Drama of School 9 A/N: Although this chapter is short, it has a lot of information on Katniss' past! Thank you so much for all the reviews, favourites and followers! I really appreciate all of your support; it really fuels my writing too! Also, big thanks to Em74. She reviews on both this and Unfortunate basically every chapter! They never fail to make me smile or laugh and it's really nice :) And to those of you who didn't read the IMPORTANT! message I posted and then took of, I have begun to write a prequel to this. Its called Unfortunate, and it would really mean a lot to me if you checked it out x Anyways, on with the story! Disclaimer: I do not own the hunger games. Chapter 9: An old friend
"Hey... Is that really you Katniss?" Her face is scrunched up, surveying me, concerned.
"Yeah..." I get to the point. "What makes you come back?"
"Oh, well, things didn't work out so well... You know," To anyone else this would be a vague answer, but to me, it means a lot. Because I do know.
-Flashback-
"Oh my, Madge, he- he just said- said-"
"Said what Kat?" Her eyes concerned, look up from her Maths homework.
"Lovedme! He said he liked me and would I go out with him!" Her eyes shine, happy for me.
"Who?!"
"Oh, just the guy I've had a little crush on since we met a few months ago..." To my shock, her eyes then change completely from their usual, soft and caring blue, to a hard, piercing and icy colour... Jealousy?
A few months later...
"I thought you loved me! I thought you'd do anything for me!" His strong arm hits me effortlessly with the stick, leaving my already raw skin stinging more.
"Arghh! Stop... Please..." I scream, then use my last strength on a pathetic whisper.
"Fine! I see how it is... I'll just find someone else, anything better than you!" His spiteful words run around in my head. I feel dizzy and useless while a few dead leaves dance lifelessly in his wake.
I curl up into a tree and try to forget everything, him, my life, school...
And that's when I think of him. The kind, blue-eyed baker who helped me that terrible day. That's also when I see a small, yet still bright, yellow dandelion in amongst the mud, skeleton leaves and twigs.
It gives me hope, like Peeta did.
-end of flashback-
After that, Madge and Gale were never seen again. Until now, 3 years later.
Oooooo! What happened to Madge?! If I want to get to 100 reviews for this story, I think we might need to speed up a little... So 65 reviews?
Will they be friends, or enemies?
Keep the guesses coming people!
