Katniss is NOT bitter!


Gale looked at his computer with a content look. What a beautiful, helpful invention! It was better than everything he's ever seen. It was… well, beautiful.

He watched Katniss's profile page in Facebook and looked at her friends' list. Here is Greasy Sae… and Finnick Odair… and Johanna Mason… and Cato… and President Snow… and Peeta…

Wait, Peeta?

Well, this can't be, Gale thought in his head as he quickly clicked on the 'register' button. This was outrageous! Just because Gale didn't have a Facebook account didn't mean Peeta was allowed to be friends with Catnip, his Catnip! This had to change. Quickly.

Gale started filling his profile with a small smile. Peeta will have a real competition now, he thought to himself as he cleverly wrote his name in the profile.

It turned out like this:

Gale Hawthorne Profile Page

Name: Gale Hawthorne

Age: 18

Home: District Twelve, the seam.

Current location: Next to the computer, obviously.

Interested in: Hunting, Katniss and ruining the Capitol.

In a relationship: Not right now, but I have a forty-eight steps plan to win Katniss's heart.

'Brilliant', Gale thought to himself as he checked for any spelling mistakes. There were none. He was very proud of himself.

Only a few moments after he made his account on Facebook, he received his first message.

Imagine his surprise and anger when he saw it was just Peeta. Stupid Peeta. Girlfriend's Taker. He hated the guy.

Peeta sent his message exactly two minutes after Gale made his new account, on November 14th, 19:37PM.

'What do you mean by forty-eight steps plan to win Katniss's heart? She's mine! I loaf her!' Peeta wrote.

Gale was about to reply, but Katniss was faster than he was.

'Peeta, what did I tell you about the bread comments?' was Katniss's message. To be honest, Gale didn't take much notice to the word 'loaf' when he first read Peeta's comment, but he could see it clearly now. Seemed like his Catnip just hated the Bread Boy's clever bread words.

Peeta's message was sent exactly a minute after Katniss's message, at 19:38PM.

'That it makes you want to stick your head in the oven.'

Again, Katniss sent him a quick reply.

'Exactly. So just shut up and stop it!'

Gale decided to join the conversation in that moment, it was his wall after all, and sent a message at exactly 19:39PM.

'Yeah, Mellark. Shut up and stop it.'

He felt really proud of himself when he saw that Katniss liked it. Yep, she loved him.

It took Peeta two whole minutes to think of a reply, but he did send one eventually.

'Mind your own business Hawthorne.'

Gale rolled his eyes. At least Catnip didn't like his comment…

Johanna Mason joined the conversation a minute later to express her thoughts of Peeta.

'Oh, everyone, hide your kids, hide your mommies, because Pita is getting angry!'

Gale snorted. Loudly. Serves Peeta right.

Peeta sent her a message not a minute later. He seemed angry.

'It's Peeta. PEETA.'

Johanna Mason didn't seem to care, and only sent a one-word reply. 'Whatever.'

Gale clicked on the 'Like' button immediately. Katniss liked Johanna's comment too.

Peeta's next comment was received a minute later, at 19:45PM.

'Katniss! Why did you like this?' He sounded outrageous.

Katniss didn't seem apologetic at all in her reply. 'Sorry Peeta, but this was a like worthy comment.'

Peeta's reply to that was short and familiar.

'Whatever.'

Gale rolled his eyes again. Peeta was such a dumb boy.

It took Peeta five whole minutes to send another comment. It seemed like he was insulted.

'What? No likes for me? But this is the same comment as Johanna's!'

Johanna replied to his comment immediately.

'Yeah, well no one likes a copier.'

Finnick Odair then decided to join the conversation too. Gale felt proud of himself; his profile page was formed only fifteen minutes ago or so, and already The Sex God Of Panem was writing on his Wall! This was all so very exciting for him, it took him a long while to concentrate on the conversation again. He read all the comments that were posted while he wasn't looking.

The first one was from Finnick Odair, and it was posted at 19:52PM: 'Yeah, you need to be original. *eat a sugar cube*'

Eats a sugar cube? Did The Sex God Of Panem add an action to his comment? Apparently so.

The next comment was from Katniss, and it was received a minute after Finnick's comment.

'You know, I never liked sugar cubes. Too sweet.'

Finnick replied to this comment fast.

'That's because you're a bitter girl with no taste, Katniss, sweetheart.'

Johanna Mason liked this comment. Gale, however, did not. And apparently, Peeta didn't like this comment either, because the next comment came from him.

'Katniss is not bitter! I mean, it's true that sometimes she's a bit grumpy. Maybe gloomy at times. Angry. Depressed. Annoyed easily. Has a serious trust issue. Never sees the good in anything. But she's most definitely not bitter!'

Oh dear god, this boy is an idiot, Gale thought to himself as he facepalmed himself.

Finnick was next to comment, at 19:55PM.

'Fine. She's not even the tiniest bit bitter. *Note the sarcasm*'

Johanna's comment was next, and it was posted a minute after Finnick's comment was.

'LOL, Matzo, you just called your girlfriend grumpy, gloomy, angry, depressed, annoyed, not trusting and always sees the bad things in life! What a brainless moron you are.'

Gale immediately hit the 'Like' button, Peeta really was a brainless moron after all, and Finnick Odair apparently liked this comment too.

Katniss replied next, a few seconds after Johanna.

'Yeah, Peeta, what the eff?'

Gale knew Catnip well, and so for him, it was obvious she was annoyed with Peeta. And that was fine by him.

Peeta replied to her comment quickly, and Gale smiled to himself; no way can the Bread Boy make his last comment seem better.

'I was defending your honor! And BTW, Johanna Mason, my name is PEETA, not Matzo. What the hell is a Matzo anyway?'

'Oh right. I remembered it was something bread-ish,' Was Johanna's reply.

Gale, Finnick and Katniss all liked her comment. Of course, Gale would always like any comment mocking Peeta's name.

Katniss replied a minute later, at 19:58PM.

'Defending my honor? Really? I must say, you're very bad at it. And a Matzo is an unleavened bread traditionally eaten by Jews during the week-long Passover holiday. Matzo is eaten by Jews as an obligation during the Passover Seder meal; during the rest of the holiday its consumption is optional, though customary, as only unleavened bread may be eaten.'

'You just totally copied this paragraph from Wikipedia,' Finnick wrote as a response to Katniss's last comment.

'Well, Wikipedia is here so that people could copy from it,' Was Katniss's short reply.

Peeta's next comment came shortly after Katniss's comment.

'Well, at yeast I'm trying to defend your honor, unlike some people here… *cough*Gale*cough*'

Stupid Peeta, trying to throw me under the bus, Gale thought to himself as he wrote a response to Peeta's latest comment.

'At least I didn't call her gloomy, grumpy, angry, depressed and so on and so on. Unlike some people…'

Both Johanna and Finnick liked his comment, which, again, made him feel very proud of himself and his clever, witty comments.

Katniss, however, didn't seem to even notice his witty comment. She was focused on something else entirely.

'Peeta, what was that, up there, in your comment? Did I see the word yeast?' Was Katniss's comment.

It took Peeta five whole minutes to write a response to her comment.

' …no,' Was Peeta's pathetically short reply.

Gale decided to write another witty comment that will be both amusing and smart.

'Yeah, I see it! Ha, now you're screw, Peeta :P'

Gale looked at his comment, content. Yes, the smile at the end was a nice touch.

Katniss sent a quick comment.

'STOP WITH THE BREAD COMMENTS!'

Man, she sounded angry, Gale thought to himself as Finnick posted on his wall yet another comment.

'Oh no. She used Caps Lock. Better watch it, Matzo.'

Peeta ignored Finnick's comment, and instead focused on Katniss's.

'Katniss, I'm sorry! I just can't help it! Really, I'm kneeling on the flour here, begging you to forgive me!'

What a moron.

A few long minutes of no-comment passed, until Peeta wrote a small, questioning word. 'Katniss?'

Gale was pleased to see that Katniss has left the conversation. Yep, she was mad at the Bread Boy.

He decided to show Peeta how pleased he was.

'LOL, way to go Matzo!'

Peeta's reply was short and to the point: 'Humph.'

And with that, Gale leaned backwards in his chair and closed the website.


So, I need to change this fanfic, to fit the rules of Fanfiction. This means that there will be no new chapter for a while. I need to rewrite the 30 or so chapters first, so, be patient with me!

I hope the change is not too bad. I liked it better as a chat format, I think it was easier to read, but I don't think this is too bad. Maybe ruining the story a bit, but not TOO bad. Right?

So, I'm going to slowly add the chapters I fixed. You can still review the chapters, even if you read them already before I changed them, because, let's face it, I love reviews, and I'd love to see what you think of this fic not in a chat format.

Hope you all have a lovely day :)
