Diaries of District 2

Today at work; all I was concerned about was what had happened yesterday. Johanna's meltdown after her life's story. I couldn't believe that she had been through all of that. It's all too much for me really.

A knock on my office door broke me of my trance.

"Come in." I said.

And Johanna walked in, looking normal. Same her on the outside, not on the inside, no doubt.

I smiled at her and surprisingly, she smiled back. No teeth or anything and it was not fairly large, but it was a sign of kindness or a sign of friendship more likely. And I knew as of then that our relationship would be completely different.

"Plutarch wanted to inform you of your schedule for tomorrow since he will be leaving for District five in the morning." She stated.

I leaned back in my office chair and listened. "Alright then."

She took a deep breath and spoke up, but all the while I was I wasn't concentrated on what tomorrow's work day but on the speaker. Johanna Mason. Who in Panem would have thought she would be working in District 2 wearing a skirt? Or befriending me of all else. Taking orders and following up on them, I just could not comprehend it. Ax-Murderer Johanna who won the bloody hunger games to what have seemed been centuries ago. She is somewhat sweet now and very much beautiful. Maybe, just maybe I have a slight crush on her. But it is ridiculous. I mean we just became friends and now I want more. I am unforgiving; perhaps I should put it behind me.

"Gale!" she snapped at me. "Do you even perceive what I am saying?"

I took this opportunity to make up for the loss. "I am not sure. Depends on what 'perceive' means."

She stared at me with narrowed eyes and her mouth open, the clipboard in her crossed arms. "You are unbelievable Hawthorne, just plain unbelievable." She laughed.

My eyebrows go up. "Is that a good thing or a corked thing?" I asked.

She sat down on the chair in front of me. "I am not sure. Depends on what 'corked' means." She grinned and I laughed.

"Mind if I stay with you for now? I've nothing important to do for Plutarch today anyhow." She said.

I nodded and she sighed of relief as she kicked her heels off of her feet and took down the hair clip keeping her locks together and letting them out swiftly.

I do not think she has any idea what she does to me.

For the rest of the day we talked and we laughed and I learned many things about her. Like her favorite color is gold (who knew) she loves flowers and gardening and she hates kittens and puppies. I laughed at that.

Well today was great and I have high hopes for tomorrow.
