Hey panemites! I wanted to give a shout out to new reviewers! Enjoy the chappy!
Unkwown123: Thanks that means a lot!
laralulu: I know that Johanna should be older than Gale but I needed them to be the same age in this story for a reason. You'll see.
Diaries of District 2
Chapter five
You know, turns out that Johanna is a very excellent assistant. She does everything I ask her to do the first time I say it, gets me everything I need hastily and efficiently and is very organized and neat. She even dresses like a business woman.
It is so strange to see her like this. Though she usually shows her cockiness that I know.
In case I have not been clear as to what I do for a living, I am the host of a reality television show. For celebrities and such. I also manage Hawthorne Industries.
I have a lot on my plate but now some of the weight is lifted because of Johanna.
I was on my way to the Gym after work today. I entered the huge building and went to the check in desk.
"Evening Brielle." I said to the lady behind filing her nails. She's a capitol lady, 30 years old, although she doesn't look like it. She has bright orange hair in a messy bun, pale skin-almost white- and her nails are unusually long. She kind of toned it down a bit when she arrived here but anyone who might see her knows she's from the capitol.
She looked up at me and smiled with purple fang-like teeth.
"Evening sweetie!" She exclaimed in her odd capitol accent. "You can go ahead in hun."
"Thanks Brie." I replied. She "uh-huh"ed and I went ahead in to the locker rooms. I changed from my classy suit into simple shorts and a sleeveless black shirt and entered the gym area.
There weren't many people there. Maybe a dozen or less. Anyhow, I was making my way to the weights when I spotted a familiar lady, punching a bag.
I smiled to myself and snuck up behind her so quietly so she didn't notice I was there. Then I put my mouth close to her neck and breathed.
"Hey Johanna."
She screamed so loudly, a few of the people working out looked towards us curiously but I shook my head, assuring them we were fine and they went back to their business.
She glared at me and swore under her breath.
"Damn it Hawthorne! You scared me!" She hissed.
"Obviously. Why otherwise would you have screamed bloody murder?" I pointed out. She glared at me more and went back to her punching bag.
I smirked and went to hold the bag while she punched. She looked up at me for a second, shook her head and went back to punching.
"So, did you get the invite?" I asked her.
"To Katniss and Peeta's wedding?" She answered. I nodded.
"Yeah." She simply stated.
"You going?"
She stopped punching. "Yeah."She seemed so focused on something. I didn't know what though. I wanted to find out.
"Are you?" She asked me.
"I don't know."
She threw her boxing gloves on the ground and looked me straight in my eyes.
"Look Gale." Wow. This was serious, she actually called me by my first name. "You need to get over your sappy love story and go to the freaking wedding! Be happy for them brainless! Just because you didn't get Katniss and just because Peeta can give her what you never could doesn't mean you have to live your life figuring out what could have been! So go see Katniss again! Go see Peeta! For the love of God! Move on with your life and stop feeling sorry for yourself!" She yelled.
I couldn't believe what she had said. She had no idea what I was going through. She had no right to say those things even though it was Johanna Mason. She must have seen the hurt in my eyes because she spoke in a softer tone. I didn't even know she had in her.
"I had people I loved too. But you have to get over the grief and buck up. Lets switch."
I picked up the gloves and started boxing with Johanna holding punching back.
We didn't speak the rest of the evening. She was right though.
About everything. Maybe Johanna Mason isn't so bad after all.
Gale
Ohh! Johanna got feisty! But she has a point though right? Gimme new ideas please! I swear I will use them in the next chapters! And may the odds be ever in your favor!
