"What are you thinking about?" I had been sitting on the hood of Gale's car waiting for him to finish work, just watching cars drive past.

"Nothing," I said moving over so he could sit next to me.

"You have to be thinking about something," he was sitting closer to me then he normally did. I was forced to move closer to him when his hand came around my shoulder and pulled my body closer to his.

"I was just watching the cars," I pointed to the road.

"All that happened tonight and you were just watching cars," he tightened his grip around my shoulder.

"I was just watching cars," should I have been thinking of anything else?

"What about before. Have you had time between watching cars to think about that?"

"You kissed me," I guess that was more like stating a fact.

"I did, I really wanna do it again," he let out a nervous laugh.

"Okay," really what was I meant to say? Gale was my best friend I didn't want to hurt him and to be honest kissing him was good. I had never really kissed anyone since Bobby Kestral in 7th Grade.

"Come on then," Gale said lifting me off the hood of the car onto his lap.

"Wait, why did you kiss me? Is this because of Peeta?" I asked.

"Why would you bring him up?" Gale said pushing me off him.

"Because there was none of this before I got partnered with Peeta for that project."

"I have been in love with you for years Katniss you just couldn't see it," he said sliding off the hood.

"Then why now? Why do this now?"

"Fine it was because of Peeta," Gale said walking away.

"Gale don't walk away from me. Why is this Peeta's fault?" I said going after him.

"Because he likes you Katniss and he was going to get you, I know you and I can see it happening. I have been waiting and waiting Katniss for you to realize but it I can see that it is never going to happen," he yelled.

"We are best friends Gale I would do anything in the world for you," we were changing everything here.

"Maybe this will be amazing too," Gale said reaching for me.

"And maybe it will ruin everything," Gale took me into his arms.

"You said that we were amazing, we fight but we never get mad, we know what each other are thinking, we are perfect for each other."

"We are amazing," I said resting my head on his chest.

"We should give this a go," I felt Gale kiss the top of my head.

"What would this be?"

"I guess you would be my girlfriend," Gale said quietly.

"And what would I have to do?" I asked.

"Oh God Katniss this isn't a job interview!" He said letting me go throwing his arms into the air.

"I have never done this before Gale don't yell at me," I yelled.

"Well I don't know either I have never dated my best friend," he said making his was back to the car.

"You have dated a million other girls," I said following him.

"A million really Katniss it was like 2 other girls and can I say the reason most of my relationships don't work out is because of you!" he was yelling again.

"How am I to blame!" I don't know how I could ruin his relationships I only ever met these girls once or twice and he didn't seem to spend much time with them.

"I spend to much time with you! We basically spend every waking minute with each other and when I am not with you I am thinking about you."

"Really?" he is always thinking about me. I never even thought that people know my name, let alone someone always thinking about me.

"Yes now what do you say," he wrapped his arms around me again.

"That you have yourself a girlfriend Gale Hawthorne," I said kissing him.

So bored. So bored. So bored. Maybe I should be thinking about Gale, Gale. Gale.

So bored. I had been standing at the register for the last 9 hours and it is always the last hour that goes the slowest.

Staring at the clock on my register that refused to move. Second felt like minutes and minutes were just refused to pass. I wonder what Peeta was doing? Why was I thinking of Peeta? I need to stop thinking of Peeta. I wonder if Gale was right does Peeta like me?

"Hey."

Peeta is nice, I am thinking about him because he is my friend. All week I have been denying that I even know Peeta but I think now he could be my friend.

"Katniss," someone waved their hand in front of my face.

"Peeta! What are you doing here?" he was standing right in front of me. That is why I was thinking about him.

" It's a supermarket I was hoping I could buy some stuff," he said smiling.

"It is a supermarket," God I am an idiot.

"It is," he said smiling. Oh his smile.

"How is your head?"

"Well my Doctor said she couldn't see my brain, so I am thinking I am fine, " he said laughing.

"She sounds like a smart person but I don't think that is a real medical diagnosis," I can feel myself blushing.

"She is smart and pretty," he said playing with the box he had in his hand.

"I think we are talking about two different people," I said avoiding looking at him and started randomly pressing buttons on the register.

"No we're not."

"So buying stuff," I said snatching the box of Band-Aids out of his hands.

"Mum said that the cut was putting her off her dinner," he laughed. But it was different from Peeta's usual laugh it was filled with sadness.

"These are the wrong ones," I said moving from behind the register.

"Jean I'm just showing the customer where to find something," I yelled at the girl two registers down.

"I didn't know they were right and wrong Band-aids," Peeta said.

"Well it's a good thing I'm here," I found the right box and begun to open it up.

"I haven't paid for that yet Katniss," he said looking around.

"I think we will be okay. Now show me your cut," I ordered.

"You should really start charging for your time," he laughed as I fixed the Band-aid onto his cut.

"All done," I said leaning down and kissing Peeta's forehead. Oh shit the look on Peeta face was a mix of surprise and satisfaction. I could tell that he was about to say something.

"Peeta hey man," he was interrupted.

"Hey Joel," Peeta said shaking the hand of the guy that looked really familiar.

"Joel you know Katniss," Peeta said.

"Yeah your Hawthorne's girl right," he said pointing to me.

"No no I'm not Gale's," I said looking at Peeta to see his reaction.

"Then your all free." he said smiling raising his eyebrows.

"No she isn't," Peeta said smiling.

"Okay man I get it," he said punching Peeta in the arm.

"Coming to Winter's party on Friday?"

"Yeah I'll be there last one was amazing," Peeta said smiling.

"Coming Katniss?" he said turning to me.

"Oh I wasn't invited," I never really got invited to anything.

"No one is invited Katniss you just go," Peeta said. "Come to the party with me."

"Okay," my cheeks were burning.

"See you two there," he said winking at me before moving off.

"I should pay for these," Peeta said holing up the open box.

"Take them," did I have a date with Peeta or was it just two friends going to a party.

"Well I will see you on Monday?" he said putting the box into his pocket.

"Yeah I better get back to work," I really didn't want him to leave.

"Have fun."

"Oh I guarantee you I won't," I wanted to reach out and pull him closer like Gale had.

"See you Monday," he said laughing. "Remember we have social studies you need to write all the things you know about me but do me a favor."

"Anything."

"Don't forget to mention how ruggedly handsome I am."

"Morning Gale!" Prim basically screamed when she got into the car. Gale was not a morning person and she knew it annoyed him when people were happy in the morning.

"Morning," Gale said smiling which was kinda freaking me out.

"Morning why are you so happy?" I change my mind I am really freaked out. Gale was the kind of person that would be in a bad mood all day if he got woken up one minute before his alarm went off.

"I just am," he said cupping my face with his hand then leaning in and kissed me. Now I get it.

"Ewww," Rory said from the back seat.

"When did this happen?" Prim asked.

"Happened on the weekend," Gale said reaching over and taking my hand is his.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Prim asked.

"I didn't think you would want to know," I knew why I didn't tell Prim or my mother.

"Of course I would want to know," she said crossing her arms.

"I will tell you next time then."

"There wont be a next time," Gale said.

"Just make sure I don't find out you two are married the next day," Prim laughed.

"We're not getting married Prim," I laughed.

"Not yet anyway," Gale said pulling up in front of the school.

"Have a good day guys," I wound down the window and yelled at Rory and Prim as they tried to pretend they didn't know us.

" Have you done all your homework?" Gale asked.

"Yes Dad I have," I laughed playing with his fingers. Maybe this wasn't so bad; like Gale said we are amazing friends maybe this would be amazing too.

Gale was amazing. I reached over wrapped my free around his neck and leaned over and lightly kissed it.

"Katniss Everdeen," Gale said when we pulled into the parking lot.

"Gale Hawthorne," I said back moving in closer to him.

"What do we have first?" he said after lightly kissing my lips.

"Math, then I got social studies and you have?" we had both gotten out of the car and Gale had instantly taken my hand in his as soon as we were close.

Oh shit! Math and Social studies were the only classes I have with Peeta.
