Facebook Stalking
(Gale/Madge)
(Modern Day)
Madge has kind of been Facebook stalking Gale Hawthorne for many a couple of months. He's in Europe with his dad and his dad's big shot band, Renegade. His Instragram, Facebook, and Twitter have been blowing up with shirtless pics of him on beaches, and pics of him in multiple different arenas his dad's playing at that night. And Madge can't help staring at his perfectly chiseled stomach a moment too long, or staring at those storm cloud gray eyes. He was gorgeous and everyone knew it.
So what, Madge might imagine being there with him in her itsy bitsy bikini, soaking in some sun. And maybe she silently rocks out with him in the VIP section of Renegade concerts through her headphones. It's not like she's physically following him around. It's just social media.
And of course she wants to comment and ask where's he's at like the rest of them, but he doesn't necessarily like her. Honestly, she was surprised when he friend requested/follow her, not the other way around. Of course she graciously accepted and had browsed through his perfectly photogenic pictures and post for hours after.
And that's where she saw how much Gale's adored his little sister, Posy. And how much fun Gale had. And not only did she want to be a part of it, she wanted him to want her there. But he never would.
But on the other side of the world, Gale Hawthorne was casually browsing his Instagram feed. SO MANY WORKOUT FEEDS! He tended to follow those to keep up his physique. But right now, all he wanted to see was what his friends were up too. Being half across the world in various countries had it perks, but he hasn't seen Thom or Katniss in almost two months. A new record for him and Thom (the other one was 36 hours and that was when Thom's mother gave birth to a daughter) who always been attached at the hip.
His finger paused over the brightly lit screen; a certain blonde girl was looking extra nice on the other side. Of course he hated to admit it was Madge Undersee, but she caught his eye. She fascinated him in ways no has before. She was in a pale blue sundress with thick straps. She was seated next to her cousin, Delly, and they were both smiling around a mouth full of watermelon, the juice dribbling off their chins.
He hovered over the like button and finally clicked it. He bit his lip in anticipation, waiting for her to block him. He knew it was a stupid fear, Madge was too nice to do something like that, but he wanted her to like him for some reason.
Back in America, Madge literally screamed at her phone when the notification popped up. She shot off her bed like a bird taking flight, dancing in crazy circles around her room. Her cousin, Delly, was giving her weird looks.
Madge pulled Delly of the bed and they happy danced around the room like a couple of little girls in ballet.
"What in the world has gotten into you!?" Delly called over the pounding of their feet.
"He liked my picture! Dell, can you believe it!?" she shouted in pure joy. Delly's eyes went wide and she yanked Madge's phone from her hand. She stared at his name for a moment, just waiting for it to disappear or not be there at all. But there it was, Gale Hawthorne liked your picture.
"That's so great!" they continued to dance until the phone buzzed again in Delly's hand. "OH. MY. GOD!" She screams.
"What? What?" Madge questions her cousin. Delly hides Madge's phone behind her back. "What?" it comes out slowly. Delly smirks and as Madge reaches for the phone Delly crushes it against her stomach and hunches over.
"Hey." She says in a deep, man's voice. "What's up?"
"Who is it and why are you talking that way!?" Madge whines.
Delly makes kissy noises at Madge and then she knows.
"Oh my god, no way! He didn't!" both girls heads snap to the phone again as another message pops up on Facebook.
I don't mean to bother you, but… the message is cut off from the notification bar.
"Open it!" Madge yells.
I'm bored. How's your summer been going? I like your picture you posted on Instagram. It was sweet. :P
"Oh my god!" the girls scream in harmony. "Answer back!" they yell at each other. "I don't know what to say! No you answer. No you!" they went round and round for a few moments before Madge ends up with the phone shoved down her shirt.
Pretty good. Nothing like yours though. Must be nice.
It was so lame and Madge knew it, but she didn't know what else to say to such a hot guy like him.
Haha. It's really not that fun all the time. You end up missing the people back home.
"Me?" Madge's points to her chest. Delly shrugs.
Oh yeah, who do you miss? Her fingers hovered over the send button.
Oh you know, Thom, Katniss, you…
"You know he put the 3 little dots to leave it open for you, right?" Delly interrogates.
Miss you, too. Delly's speedy fingers type back before Madge even has a chance to stop her.
Oh really? Maybe we can hang out…next week? I'll be back for a short break in between shows from Tuesday to Friday if you have time.
"Oh hell yeah, you have time. "
Sure, when would be a good time for you?
Wednesday?
Sure.
"I think you just got a date with the infamous Gale Hawthorne." Delly winks, "Ohhhh."
Madge flicks her hair back and examines her nails, "Well all that Facebook stalking wasn't for nothing."
A/N: Would love to hear you thoughts on this one! Date sequel? I'm kind of feeling do a request! Someone request something so I can write it! Furthermore, have a lonely week until I see you next. And sorry for all those who read my other story, Rebel or Madge (if you haven't, please check it out! It would mean so much!), sorry I didn't get to update that. I usually write/update on Saturday's for that and Saturday just flew by and before I knew it, it was gone! I'll get on that as soon as possible! Promise!
Thank you, my lovely, for your constant support! Love you!
