Chapter Six

Katniss: What was that about?

I let Gale walk ahead, while I stood back, and combed through the area, giving me some time to think. While walking, I noticed something. What was I saying to Gale? I paused, refreshing my memory to a few minutes ago. I stood in horror while I remembered what I did.

I was giggling, and acting like such a spineless airhead.

Where did THAT all come from?

I tried shaking the memory from my head, but it seemed implanted permanently. Since when was I, Katniss Everdeen, such a girl? I suddenly remembered Magde, and some of the other girls in the Seam. The way they looked and acted whenever they saw a boy-Gale especially- around. It was sickening to even look at them. The way their eyes lit up, and they started acting all giddy and happy, as if they had been chosen to live in the Capitol or something.

And then when they start blushing, and twirling strands of hair, and acting so stuck-up. That was the exact reason why the name Katniss was always despised at my school.

All the other girls; the ones who like Gale, were always jealous at our friendship, thinking we were dating or something, but I couldn't even see myself with ANY boy, let alone my best friend.

But to actually believe that I had acted like one of those girls was so absurd! I was nothing like any of those girls! But all I could do was avoid being alone with Gale to limit what I say. Prim and Posy would distract me from being like that. However, they weren't always there, and I was older, so I couldn't count on my little sister to back me up. How I hated myself for speaking that way.

"Catnip! You coming or what?" I heard Gale shout.

Speak of the devil.

"I'm coming!" I said, wanting to take my time. I didn't ever want to embarass myself as badly as I had done this morning without even knowing.

"Oh good! You're here!" Prim said. I nodded, then gestured for us to get moving. Quickly, we started off.

"Gale, keep an eye on Posy, I wanna talk to Prim." I said, keeping Prim by my side. Gale nodded, then held his sister's hand, as I looked at Prim.

"Prim, have I been acting wierd, lately?" I asked, hoping she wouldn't ask about what happened.

"No. At least not to me. Why?"

I narrowed my grey eyes toward her blue ones.

"Well, because I did something completely stupid today."

Prim's eyes softened.

"Katniss, don't say that. You're smart, and pretty. So what happened?"

Here goes.

Slowly, word by word, I explained my idiotic behavior to Prim, who was the only one who seemed to understand.

"So, basically you're upset because of what you said? Katniss, its not so bad! So you were laughing, it doesn't mean the world's gonna end!"

"Prim, I don't think you get it. Gale's practically my best friend. I've never acted like how I did today. I know I'm getting worked up over nothing, but seriously! I don't have a whole romantic thing with him! I barely even think about guys to begin with!"

Prim had to bite her lips to keep from laughing out loud.

"Katniss, chill. He'll probably forget about it. Its not like you wrote a poem or had a millon pictures glued to a wall. You'll be fine."

"I just hope you're right." I sighed, realizing I was overreacting again.

Gale

Posy was silent as we walked the along the grass. Ocasionally, she'd scoop up a few wild flowers here and there, but we said nothing.

Wonder what's taking Catnip and Prim so long. Is she ok?

I shook the thoughts away. Katniss could take care of herself. She was strong and independent, two things I personally like in a girl. She also wasn't like the girls back in the Seam. Most of them would faint if I got within a ten mile radius of them. To them I was Gale: the super cute, strong, gorgous guy every girl wanted. (A/N Oh Gale, You have no idea :D) But to Katniss, I was just Gale, Katniss' best friend. I didn't get it, why were girls so obsessed with guys and realationships? Aren't friends enough? I sighed.

Seam girls are so hard to figure out!

Posy suddenly grabbed the sleeve of my shirt.

"Huh?" I said, suddenly forgetting about her, Katniss and Prim.

"Hehe. Just making checking!" Posy said, giggling. I smiled, then tousled her hair, waiting for Katniss and Prim.

"Posy?" I said without reason.

"Yeah?"

"Does Katniss seem different to you?"

Posy shrugged her shoulders and stopped walking.

"A teeny bit. I think Katniss likes you, Gwale."

Gwale?

Suddenly, two things hit me.

Katniss was acting strange, and Posy had just made an attempt at saying my name, a somewhat good thing in my opinon.

"Katniss? Liking me? Posy Hawthorne, you've been reading too many fairy-tales."

Posy smiled, then looked determined.

"Okaaay."

I playfully rolled my eyes.

Katniss is still Katniss, the girl I've known forever. There is only friendship between us, even if there could be something more.

I hadn't wanted to admit it, but secretly, I liked-even loved- Katniss. Not in the brother/sister way. It sounded stupid, even to myself, but there was just something about her that made her so special. I suddenly heard myself laughing.

Hehe, whatdya know. I think about the girl and I end up looking stupid. Score one for Katniss.

I waited with Posy until Katniss decided to show up.

Is Catnip talking about me? I couldn't help but wonder.

Katniss

Katniss, don't be so ridiculous! You're not putting yourself out there like that! Having Gale as a friend is one thing, but acting like such an airhead? RIDCULOUS! Gale's your best friend! Hell, he's practically almost your older brother! Who goes around acting like such a flirt to their brother? Just don't push it the next time.

I hated myself for my actions. Don't get me wrong, I do like Gale, but not in a whole flirty, idiot girl way. More like a brother and a sister. I sighed as Prim and I approached them. At that moment, I actually wished that it was just me by myself.

At least I wouldn't be so stupid.

A/N

This chapter was inspired by DeathBlossom Icicle.

Katniss was getting kinda girly. Don't worry, unless the readers want me to, there won't be any romance/girly fluffish stuff.

Haha, thanks guys! (:
