I raise my eyebrow as I examine this so called Gale. He's tall, taller than Peeta, with a mop of black hair on his head and an olive skin tone. He's wearing casual button up shirt with washed out jeans which fit him nicely...
Get a grip of yourself Everdeen and say something before he thinks you're checking him out.. But you kind of are ...DO YOU EVER SHUT UP...Geez calm down woman...
"It's Katniss!" I blurt out and immediately start to blush, real cool Kat, real cool. "Oh sorry but I think I'll keep calling you that, I mean it's between Catnip or Crazy Ass Arrow Girl and Catnip is so much easier to say" he replies with a smirk and I scowl at the nickname. At least when Peeta gave me a nickname it was cute..argh stop thinking about him.
"Yeah well what kind of name is Gale, what are you wind?" I then face palm myself at the lameness of my retort while Gale laughs at my awkwardness.
"Haha, wow when coach said I had to check out the new girl's apparently ridiculous skill at Archery, I didn't think I would meet such a wordsmith"
I stick my tongue out at him and we both laugh a bit before I asked him why he's here. "Well I'm actually here to pick up my little brother; I used to go here until I graduated two years ago. Couch told me to hunt you down because your skill surpasses mine or some bullshit like that"
I smirk and reply "He's not wrong". To which he bites back with "How could you possibly know you never seen me".
"Alright how about a little challenge? If I win you shall fall to my feet and sing never-ending praises and if you win..."
"Then you'll go out with me" he interrupts with a wink and I stare at him in shock because no one has ever asked me out before.
"Is this a joke?" I asked angrily because I was not in a mood to be toyed about with I mean who the hell was he, strutting in with his stupid smirk, acting all smug like the god of archery or something. Urgh I hate people like that...
He interrupts my angry, soon to turn murderous rant with a simple nope and a smirk. God he's so smug, like he's knows he's attractive and just expects me to fall to his feet unlike Pee...
DO NOT FINISH THAT THOUGHT EVERDEEN
"I ACCEPT" I blurt out in an attempt to stop my ludicrous line of thinking. He looks a little put out by my outburst however it's soon replaced by his typical smirk.
"All right, let the games begin"
