Gale and Katniss stepped into the ballroom. Katniss looked at Gale. He was staring straight ahead, like a

soldier headed into battle. President Snow walked up to them holding a tray of glasses. Katniss froze

when she saw his face. Gale knowing this, squeezed her hand.

"Who might you two be?" President Snow as the two took their drinks obediently.

"My name is Katniss Everdeen, and his name is Gale." Katniss said, boldly.

"I mean no harm Ms. Everdeen," President Snow bowed and kissed her hand. "I am not accustomed to

the woman, young or old introducing the male. What a brave new world we live in."

"I guess I got just a bit full of myself, President Snow. I get like that sometimes." Katniss lied, feigning a

smile.

President Snow smiled, and chuckled slightly. He walked away afterwards. Katniss noticed his smile did

not reach his eyes. Gale wondered why he was serving.

He's way too arrogant for that, he thought.
