You guys are extremely lucky! Since I got awesome reviews which put me in a good mood I'm giving this chapter to you 2 days in advance. So you better like it :D

Like always I get out of class again more than 10 minutes late because I haven't done some stupid homework for math that won't even help us for future use. Ever since I've had to start taking care of my family, I'm never getting my homework done on time because I'm always spending the time hunting. But I don't care at all, hunting is about the only time I have to myself and to feel free, I love hunting and not doing homework isn't the end of the world, I mean it's not like its effecting my grades too much. Me and my best friend Gale Hawthorne go into the woods outside of District 12 everyday morning and sometimes night if we ever have the urge to hunt. Once I've finished doing my homework I give the work to my teacher, pack up my things and leave the class to go and eat what little lunch I have. As I'm walking into the lunch room I can see Peeta Mellark and his gang of players, I have to walk right past them to get to my usual table, which I hate having to do almost every day. As I walk by I give Peeta and his friends a dirty look, because quite frankly they are all dirty mutts. I knew Peeta before he became one of them. He was a really nice guy who had a lot of potential at school, but he swapped his nice guy attitude and good grades for sex. I bet that's what's on all of their minds sex, sex and more sex. It disgusts me. I sit down at my table right beside Gale and my other friend Madge on the opposite side.

"Did you see Peeta Mellark checking out your butt?" Madge says to me quietly

"Eww really" I say scrunching up my face "What a creep"

"I'd say, he's so up himself" Gale says to me "so did Miss Galloway keep you in again for not doing your homework?"

"She sure did" I say getting angry while pulling my lunch out of my bag

"You know we can always get together sometime and help each other out with school work instead of going hunting, school work is important too" Gale says, he's such a thoughtful friend I don't know what I would do without him.

"Yeah maybe sometime if I ever catch a few more game than I need to one morning ill have some spare time after school" which this weekend and morning I did so I at least had spare time this afternoon. "Well what about today?"

"Sorry I can't this afternoon, I have to go hunting we've been short on money these past couple of days, but soon, I promise."

"Alright but it's not a big deal whenever it suits you" I say giving him a smile

I look over at Peeta and his group again, thinking about what they do to the poor girls they have sex with, just being fucked and dumped is the way I like to put it. Peeta could never be as nice as Gale is he's so rude, arrogant, cocky and womanizing and it sickens me to think that I thought he was a nice person. Now I ignore him and his stupid friends as much as I can ever since he used to harass me to go on a date with him, which I always declined. I knew how he worked, all he wanted was sex and I'm not giving away my virginity to some guy who will just ditch me right after I have sex with them for the first time. I'm glad I had Gale with me most times Peeta would ask me because he would frighten him which eventually scared him off. Suddenly Peeta starts to walk in the direction of my table I look at him and he's giving me one of his sick, sappy smiles. I look down at my table hoping to god he doesn't come over and talk to me. This is my worst nightmare! He comes right up behind me and whispers in my ear.

"Hey gorgeous, want to go on a date?" he says with his so called sexy voice, which I think isn't sexy at all. I look around to him moving my chair away from him so I'm as far away from him as possible.

"Didn't you hear me all those other times you asked me on a date" I say with my voice raised "I said NO, now go off to one of your little whores and fuck them and don't bother me again!"

"Hey, hey, hey I'm just asking I'm sorry if I came off rude I just thought I would be nice. How about instead of calling it a date, we'll call it hanging out, just as friends?" he says trying to be sympathetic but I know what he's doing trying to act all sweet and innocent to try get into my pants. I am just about to scream in his face to tell him to go away when Gale gets up from his seat to confront Peeta.

"Look, can't you see she is not interested in you and she never will be, so go back to your little possie and don't talk to her again, got it?"

"Was I talking to you, no I wasn't, so how about you get lost while I talk to Katniss in private" Peeta says to Gale with force I can see this could turn ugly. Gale has rage all over his face so I get up to push Gale back down in his seat, he's strong but I'm able to do it.

"Look Peeta I don't want to go on a date with you ok?"

"Alright Katniss, I'll see you around school, we'll talk another day when he's not around" he says looking down at Gale and walks off.

"Gale just forget about him he's just stirring you up, you know what he's like" I say to him sitting back down next to him

"Yeah I know, but someone needs to teach him a lesson"

"Hey, don't say that even if he is a prick I don't want you getting into a fight"

"Alright but don't blame me if he starts something like that again" he says while we get back to finishing our lunch.

Once the bell goes to signal us to go to our next class which mine and Madge's is English. I say goodbye to Gale even though I'll be seeing him next lunch time and me and Madge start walking to our class together. Just as we are close to walking in the door I see Peeta and his group coming this way. Oh no I forgot Peeta was in this class with me. I grab onto Madge's hand and quickly walk in the door and get the two furthest seats away and in a place he hopefully won't see me from the door. And he doesn't thank god, he too busy talking to one of his bitches.

"Why did you pull me into class in a hurry?" Madge whispers as I am leaning closer to her so I can hear what she is saying

"Because Peeta was coming and I didn't want him to see that we have the same class together now so he can't harass me again"

"Oh ok, well lucky you were quick or he would have seen you"

Just as I think I'm free of him our teacher decides to put us into pairs for an English assignment. Please don't pair me with Peeta; please don't pair me with Peeta! I repeat over and over in my head.

"Katniss Everdeen, you will be paired with… Peeta Mellark" my teacher says. Great now I have to not only talk to Peeta I have to work with him on an assignment. I put my face in my hands to hide my anger. "Peeta please go and swap seats with Miss Undersee" Peeta packs up his things and so does Madge.

"Just ignore him" Madge says to me while she walks to where Peeta was once sitting

"Hey Katniss, isn't it great we get to be partners?" he says to me while sitting down, I ignore him just like Madge told me to "so do you know what to do?" he says while giving me a puzzled look but I'm still ignoring him "so you're just going to ignore me when we have an assignment to do together?"

"Why do you care if we do the stupid assignment or not" I say to him in an angry voice

"Because I get to work with you"

"Do you really think that bullshit is going to work on me, because it isn't?"

"Uh what bullshit, me being nice to you?"

"Cut it out, you're not being nice to me; you're just trying to lure me in so you can get into my pants"

"Well I would like to get into your pants" he says and I give him a dirty look "but I am just trying to be nice I thought since we were put together as partners the least we could do is get along otherwise we aren't going to get this assignment finished" he says as convincing as he can. I guess since we now have an assignment to do together we should get along and it will probably be only 5 weeks maximum, then I won't have to talk to him anymore.

"Alright, but this is the only exception" I say to him, I just hope I won't regret this.

So hope you guys liked this chapter! Now for a chapter in the future I was thinking about having Gale speak about his feelings for Katniss. But now since you guys kept referring to the movie she's all that, should I just have him as a friend not one of the main characters and just focus on Katniss and Peeta? Or should Gale be included? So I have put up a poll on my profile to see if I should have him included or not. For Gale or against Gale? P.s the voting will only go for a day so I can write the chapter in time for you guys so please, please, please get voting and ill show the results on the next chapter which will be in in 2 to 3 days :D
