It's here! I know it's short but I just wrote it.

Gale. What is he doing here? He was supposed to be in District 2 or somewhere else. Not here. I wasn't supposed to know anyone here.

But he looks different now. I can't pinpoint exactly what about him has changed.

"Hey" I finally say.

"What are you doing here?"

"I just moved here for my job. What about you?"

"Oh, I live in 1 now. Just came here to drop Posy off. She's joining a school here."

So he won't be here permanently. That's good, right? But that means Posy will be here.

"What's the school name?"

"Some school called Panem Academy of Arts and Sports. From what I heard, it's an excellent place for acting, which she has caught a bug of."

"Oh, my job is there only."

"Umm, great. That's means you can keep an eye on her. What will you be teaching?"

"Archery. So will she live here alone or …..?"

"With Rory. He moved here some years ago and she begged to be allowed to join Rory here so she could come here. I'm guessing she's more excited about freedom from me than going to the school."

"Why would you say that?"

"From what I gathered, I'm 'way too obsessed with her life and won't let her live'. No, seriously. I'm quoting her." He says with a smile.

"It's true, you know." A voice behind him says. Posy.

"Hey, Katniss."

"Hey, Posy."

"What are you doing here?"

"Teaching in your school." Gale says.

"What?" she asks incredulous.

"He's right."

"Who would have guessed Katniss Everdeen would voluntarily be around children?" Gale adds.

"I'm just as surprised as you are. But my recent experience showed me I'm good with kids as long as they're above 14 and can be reasoned with."

"So when did you decide to become a teacher?"

"Recently. I have to undergo a training for 4 months and then an additional training of 2 months while teaching. They don't really have that many good archers on their call and as a school that prides on their sports ability, they want to have as many variety of sports as possible. So here I am."

A train whistles nearby. Gale looks down at his watch.

"I should get going. Don't want to miss my train. Take care, Posy. And you too, Katniss." He says with a smile, kisses Posy on the head and goes away.

And then I realize what's different about him. He didn't have that frown that he almost always had before. He looked relaxed. He looked happy. Happier than when I knew him before.
