Present Day
So I want to stop the story for a second. Some people out there may be thinking, Well, how can you hate Peeta so much? I bet it's only because he got the girl that you love. That's part of the reason now, but that wasn't it back then. I didn't know what happened between Katniss and Peeta was going to happen. I mean, I can't see into the future or anything. Though, sometimes I wish that I could. The real reason that I hated Peeta so much was because he didn't seem real. He seemed like a creation of the Capitol, as artificial as all the rest of the Capitol citizens. In what world does someone do you sacrifice your life for someone you've just met? It isn't practical. I suppose you could say that he rubbed me the wrong way. He was too nice, too caring. That's what made me not trust him. There are other things too. Other things that I don't want to get into, both because I don't feel like it and because I just don't think I can do it. It would hurt too much right now. You'll find out soon enough though.
Okay, guys. I hope you liked that chapter. It obviously isn't my best. I just really wanted to get one up because the odds aren't in the favor of me getting one up next week.
To any Mellarkians, if you're reading this story, I'm sorry for all the Peeta cracks but I'm just more for Gale so it comes naturally to criticize Peeta. Sorry for you Team Peeta's!
Anyway, like I was saying sorry this is so rushed and all. If you haven't figured this out, this part of the story is in present time where Gale is saying how he is feeling now. Okay, that's all.
