Three weeks later.
Gale's POV

Things are wrong.

First, Annie is being a girl. She talks constantly about Finnick and how he's so dreamy. Annie doesn't talk about boys, unless they are bullying her or she's badmouthing them. Next Madge keeps staring at me… it's really creepy. During lunch, after school, when she comes over, pretty much everywhere I turn there she is! Then how Clove is always with Katniss and Peeta, I know they have a project together but isn't it 'social suicide'? Cato's been leaving them alone for now, what? Cato's been bullying Katniss since the fourth grade!

And there's Katniss (of course.) She's been girly! It's really creeping me out. I've known Katniss for what feels like forever and here she has completely turned in three weeks. I think it has to do with that Mellark kid; he's been over a couple times since he had dinner here. And Katniss likes him. I don't. Katniss has been through too much, from losing her father to being bullied. I'm keeping my eye on him, Haymitch might think he's a good person, Effie might say "He's so proper! Gale why can't you be more like him?" Rory and Rue might think that they look awesome together, but I'm her older brother. I'm going to protect her.

Anyways, Johanna. Johanna has been really different in the last few weeks. She's vomiting throughout the day and insists she's fine, she won't eat certain foods, and she's wearing baggy clothes. Did I mention she's been super-sensitive lately?

*Flashback*
"Hey Jo, what's up?" I said as I saw her in the hallway. "The sky dumbass. What class do you have now?" She replies, looking around nervously. "Why, wanna skip? Cause I bet the Hob is open at this time of day." I smirk. The Hob is where trouble-some teens go to… do things. Smoke, drink, and more. It's a joke between Johanna and I, we once went in there to see what it was like. Me being the kid raised by the worst busy-body the world has ever seen and her being… her we went. Weirdest experience ever. She looked at me horrified. "Gale I can't believe you! I'm asking a favor from a friend and here you are making jokes? Never mind, bitch!" She throws a pencil at me and runs away crying.

I haven't gotten to ask her about that, Katniss says she's noticed it too. That every time a Mellark walks by she tenses a little bit. Johanna is one of my best friends, I'm kind of worried.
Wait. She couldn't be….

"Gale? Honey Johanna is here to see you!" I hear Effie call, interrupting my thoughts. I walk down the hallway and see Johanna in the corridor. She looks awful, her hair is sticking in every direction, her clothes are too big for her, and her eyes are big and vulnerable. I take her in my arms and guide her to my room.

I set her on my bed and let her cry into my shirt for a long time. "Gale?" she asks sometime later. "Yeah?" She shakes her head and speaks in a whisper, "I've made a terrible mistake, haven't I?" With that sentence my suspicions are confirmed.

And I'm going to kill whoever the father is.

Andi Mellark's POV

Things are different.

But in a good way.

Peeta seems happier, not only going outside to go to school or walk River. Even when he isn't with Katniss it's with some guy named Finnick or this girl named Madge. All these people have such weird names!

I've also felt different… mostly around Rory. Come on who wouldn't?! He's so sweet and good looking; we have a lot of common interest too. Superheroes, Disney, Survival Games, even the type of T.V shows! I don't know, I've never had an interest in boys. Not since… never mind.

The phone rings, I run to get it but Rye got the phone first. "Mellark residence, Rye speaking. Oh, this is Rory, Rory Hawthorne. Wanting to talk to Andi." I jump towards the phone, but Rye is too quick. I chase him around the island until he runs through the living room, still with Rory on the phone. "So, Rory. You're a guy and my sister is a girl. Is there a reason you're calling, some boyfriend and girlfriend talk?" I blush before he hands the phone to me laughing.

"Hey Rory, sorry my brother is an idiot. What's up?" We talk for a while about the latest episodes of different shows to the math teacher. After a while Rory starts to grow quiet. "Rory? Are you okay, cause I feel like I'm the only one talking." He stays quiet for a minute or two, "Andi. I have a question. A very big, important, can't wait question." I let him continue, not feeling like I could say anything at this moment. "Well, would you like to come with me to see the new Spiderman movie? I heard it's really good in 3-D." This was the 'big, important, can't wait question'? Unless he's asking me on a… wait. "Wait, like a date?" Another pause. "Uh, no not like a, wait, yeah. Yes, uh, exactly like that." I consider this for moment, I always overthink things. What if it goes wrong? I'll ruin the best friendship I've ever had. What if it goes right? I don't know what I'd do then. Different scenarios run through my head before Rye speaks into the phone, that eavesdropper! "Yes she would love to, she's just too excited to answer." They talk for a minute and eventually hang up.

"Rye! What the hell was that?" He scolds me quickly about my language then continues, "Relax, he likes you back! It will all play through Juliet." he's using my words against me. Not cool. I sigh in defeat, I guess I'm going on a date with Rory.

But deep DEEP down, I'm really excited for Saturday.

Katniss' POV

Things are changing.

First, Rory is going on his first date. Rory's going on a date. Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. Second, Johanna's been dodgy lately. She's only talked to Gale and takes offense to the weirdest things, things we'd usually joke about. She won't tell me, and that hurts. We've been close since we met; she knows she can tell me anything! And my relationship with a certain boy… that's probably the worst. I never wanted to like anyone; they can turn on me too quickly. My family was taken away, everyone at school bullies me, who's to say Peeta won't turn?

"Katniss! The phone is for you!" I hear Effie call. I pause the movie Rue and I were watching and head towards the kitchen. I don't have time to talk before the person on the other line starts. "Hello Katniss! This is Rosie from the SEAM foster programme! We'd like to know how you'd feel to having your sister, Primrose, come to stay with you in Cincinnati for a week." I can't hear anything else she said. She's asking if I want Prim to stay with me. "So Katniss, what do you say?" Somehow I muster out an okay. I give the phone back to Effie and go back out to the living room. Rue starts the movie again, but I can hardly focus.

Prim is coming…

Prim is coming!

So, better? Updated quicker than last time. So that's good. Anyways, here I will respond to the reviews I didn't get to. My stupid brother locked me out of my email… and my fanfiction… and my DeviantArt… and he just gave me the password. ANYWAYS.
