Hey everyone. Thank you for all of the reviews and for helping me decide who Gale is gonna like
and the winner is...Madge! Sorry to those who wanted him to like Delly or Katniss.
Sorry for the late update and for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
Enjoy!
Chapter 5
"Nice of you to join us Mr Mellark." Mrs Coin said angrily when Peeta finally showed up. She hates when people show up late for class.
"I..I'm sorry." he replied, looking a little surprised at her angry tone. Guess he's not used to people being angry at him.
"I hope you have a good excuse as to why you are late."
Ah ha. Let's see you answer that.
"I..I...got lost." he said quickly.
"Oh." she said sounding a little disappointed, guess she wanted to give him a detention. "Well, don't let it happen again. Now take a seat beside Miss Cartwright over there." she said pointing to the seat beside Delly, who looked like she was about to faint.
He went to the seat beside Delly and sat down and she started to introduce himself to him. After a few minutes, I stole another glance at them and he was laughing at something Delly had said. Then I got a weird feeling, it can't be jealousy. I don't like him.
The bell rang interupting me from my thoughts and I gathered up my things and made my way into the cafeteria. When I got there I sat beside Madge and Gale at our table.
"Where's Delly." Madge asked.
"I don't know probably talking to Mr 'I'm Famous'" I say sarcastically.
Gale snorted and Madge looked at him disapprovingly and then sent me a disapproving look.
"What?" I asked.
"You should give the guy a chance. He doesn't know anyone here and he's probably looking for a friend and we should be kind to him." she said.
"Trust me. He will have no trouble making friends. With the girls anyway." I say.
Madge glared at me. "I think we should invite him to sit with us." she said.
"Too late." said Gale taking a bite of his apple.
"What do you mean?" Madge asked confused.
He nodded his head at something behind us. "Looks like Delly beat you to it."
I turned around and sure enough there was Delly trailing Peeta in our direction. I groan.
"Hey guys! I invited Peeta to sit with us." she said cheerily, motioning for Peeta to sit opposite her, beside Gale.
"Hey!" Peeta said giving a small wave.
"Hey Peeta!" Madge said enthusiastically.
"Hey, Madge isn't it?" he said sitting down.
"Yes it is." she replied happy that he had knew her name.
I looked at Gale and if looks could kill, Peeta would be a goner.
"Hey Katniss" Peeta said giving me a small smile.
"Hey" I mumbled. Then I felt Madge kick me under the table. "Ow"
"You okay?" asked Peeta.
"I'm fine!" I said glaring at Madge.
Then I looked up and saw Glimmer walking towards our table. Oh no! This can't be good.
"Hey Peeta." she said batting her eyelashes at him.
"Hey" said Peeta politely. Although he didn't look like he wanted to talk to her.
"Wouldn't you rather come and sit at the table over there." she said bending down slighly, showing some of her cleavage. "With me."
"No. I'd rather stay here thanks." he replied.
Glimmer looked shocked. "You'd rather stay here?! With THEM?!" she screeched.
"Yeah, I would." he replied again.
She shot us a glare and stomped back over to her table. I was shocked he hadn't went with her. Maybe he's not so bad after all. No! Remember what happened with Gloss. But he's not a Gloss, said a small voice in my head.
"Oh, shut up!" Ooops I said that out loud didn't I?
"I didn't say anything" said Delly confused.
"Um .. I'm gonna go to the library to get a book for..um...history. See y'all later." I said. Wanting to get away from the embarrassment.
"I'll go with you." said Gale getting up and following me out the door.
"Why did you say "Shut up" in there?" Gale asked, once we where out of the cafeteria.
"No reason" I replied.
"Ok" Gale said letting it slide. "What book did you need for history?"
"I..uh..I don't need a book for history, I just said that so that I could get out of there."
Gale laughed. "That's what I thought and you're not the only one. I wanted to get away from their flirting. Did you see the way Madge was looking at him?"
"Yeah I did."
"Probably in there making eyes at him right this minute." he said angrily, crossing his arms over his chest.
I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing. A jealous Gale is hilarious.
"What are you laughing at?" Gale snapped.
"You. You're jealous." I stated.
"I..I am not." he replied.
"You most certainly are. It's so obvious." I said.
"Not to her" he mumbled.
"Why don't you ask her out on a date?" I asked.
"Because she'd say no. Duh!" He said.
"How do you know?"
"I just do, alright?"
"But-"
"Just drop it Katniss."
"Fine"
"Thanks." he mumbled.
Then the bell rang and I said goodbye to Gale and made my way to English.
The rest of the day went by quickly with no run ins with Peeta. Thankfully.
*At Home*
"Hey mum, I'm home." I shouted.
"Hey sweetie. How was school?" she asked.
"It was good." I replied.
"What are you making?" I asked, when I walked into the kitchen.
"I'm making dinner." she answered.
"Isn't that a bit much for just the three of us?" I asked.
"We're having visitors." she replied.
"Oh. Who?" I asked.
"We're having the...
What did you think? Good? bad? Who do you think will be visiting?
Longest chapter so far. I will try to make them longer after all of my exams are over
Love y'all
