Hey peeps! I never say peeps... Anyhoo, didn't get many reviews last time. So that's why it's taken so long... cos I didn't really have the boost I needed. So please review! Enjoy!
Cato's POV
The long hug didn't mean anything, I'm sure of it. Katniss and I walk to our next lesson when I hear her phone ping. She doesn't acknowledge it though.
'Katniss, your phone went off.' I tell her, just in case her didn't hear it.
'Oh, just leave it.' Something's wrong. Her fingers start to fiddle with each other. Her face is nervous.
'Give me your phone, Kat.'
'Bu-'
'Now.' She passes her phone and crosses her arms. I see about a million texts from Glimmer. Idiot. Die. Everyone hates you. Kill yourself. Dog. Fatniss. These were just a few of the horrible crap Glimmer had sent to her. 'Katniss, why didn't you tell me?'
'I-it's nothing.' she says, not looking at me.
'That's not nothing. See the newest one is I hate you Katniss. Just like the world does. You know what I can do. So kill yourself now.' She doesn't say anything though. Just takes back her phone and runs off to her next lesson. I really don't know what to do.
Katniss' POV
I stormed off because I had nothing to say. I've been trying to forget all about Glimmer but Cato can't seem to let me. I forget about it and go to my locker. Gale's there. Joy. I choose to ignore his existence and just put my coat in my locker.
'Hey Kat.'
'Don't talk to me.' I say, walking off but he catches my arm. I jerk it away. 'What do you want Gale?!' I really wasn't in the mood.
'Listen to me Katniss. We were made to be together. We were great friends. I'm just want to say this to you, because right now you are completely ignoring me. I really like you Katniss. I know you've been getting those nasty messages from Glimmer. I've even tried to talk to her, but she seriously has a problem with you. Sorry for everything. Can we at least have a shot at this? One date, and if it goes rubbish then we can just be friends.' I can't believe I'm actually considering this. He notices my silence and carries on. 'Please Kat.'
'Fine, one date.' He lets out a breath.
'Name the time and date.' Hmm.. let's see if he means business.
'After school. McDonalds. I don't want to go anywhere to classy, yet. And you're paying.'
'Of course. I would never let a lady pay! Geez, Katniss I thought I was your 'brother'' He says. We both laugh. Oh no, have I done the right thing?
AFTER SCHOOL
I didn't tell anyone about me and Gale's date. Just in case it didn't go to plan. I didn't want them to hate him more. I made up with Cato though. Clove didn't feel that well either so I didn't need to make up a story of what I was doing after school. I waited outside McDonalds and Gale was literally a millisecond late.
'Sorry I was late. Just brought you some flowers.' He presented me with a bouquet of beautiful colours.
'Gale, thanks but we're just going Mackie Dees.'
'Yeah, I know. But I wanted to make an effort. Take them.' He opened up my hand and put the flowers in.
'Fine, now can we eat?'
'Sure.' We walked in. I ordered a burger, chips and a coke. Gale ordered the same but got a 7up. We sat down and talked for a bit when a waitress who looked pretty familiar came up to us.
'Oh. Got another guy here then?' Se said to me. That's it, she's that girl who tried to hit on Cato.
'What are you talking about?' Gale asked me.
'I came here with Cato a couple of times. Sorry.' I say, embarrassed.
'Are you cheating on him, then? Cos if you are, I'll take either one.'
'Shut up. Go get back to your crummy old job, cos we're on our way out.' Gale snapped.
'Fine by me. Call me yeah.' Johanna said, teasingly.
'As if.' Gale said out loud. We walked out of the shop and guess what? It was raining. I've gotta start checking the weather more frequently. None of us has umbrellas so we just walked in the rain.
'Thanks.' I mutter.
'Oh, it's alright. Can't let anyone talking to my Katniss like that, can I?' I'm not his Katniss. But I was too tired to correct him. I was at my house and stood at the doorway.
'Well, bye then.' I say, waving him off.
'Bye then...' And he's gone. What have I done?
