Hey guys! I'm so so sorry I haven't updated in such a long time with school and everything else that's been going on I just didn't have time. But I hope you enjoy the new chapter , I'm trying to make them longer!
It's around dawn when I entre the woods. I didn't come to hunt today just to think about the things that have been happing lately. My family still won't leave me alone about Madge and neither will Darius. But they don't seem to get that I don't like her that way.
I'm about a mile into the woods when I hear a familiar sound. "Good morning Catnip". I hear her laughing quietly behind me, "hi Gale". I turn around and smile at my best friend and then I notice that she's holding something that looks like a letter in her hand.
"What's that?" I say pointing towards the letter. She smiles" oh it's just a letter from Darius about you" . I was stunned why was Darius writing Katniss letters about me, unless it's about.. uh oh.
"When were you planning on telling me you like Madge gale? says Katniss. " well um I wasn't planning on telling you because I don't" I stammer. Then she does something I didn't expect she starts laughing so hard that she's crying." What's so funny" I demand she stops laughing long enough to say" You're blushing".
Then I realize something, every time someone mentions me liking Madge I start to blush because... Oh my god everyone was right I do have a crush on Madge! But when did this happen, how did this happen. I run past Katniss and tell her that I will see her later and then I run home.
When I finally step inside my house I notice that the only one home is my mom. Thank god this conversation is going to be embarrassing enough without anyone else here." um mom can I talk to you for a second" my voice sounds hoarse so I clear my throat before I continue " it's kinda important ".
She smiles and waves me over, I sit down across from her and try to decide how to start but she beats me to it" so what did you want to talk about gale ". " well, I was in the woods with Katniss this morning and with her help I realized something". She smiles again and says " This thing you realized wouldn't have to do with a certain girl named Madge now would it gale". How did she figure it out so fast, maybe me turning bright red gave it away " I um kinda like her I think", my mom sighs" so you finally realized it, so how are you going to tell her". Tell her what does she mean by that I can't just walk up to her and say" hey Madge I just though I would tell you that I have a huge crush on you".
Just when I was about to reply I hear a quiet laugh, I turn around and see my worst nightmare. Rory, Vick and Posy just heard me admit that I like Madge and by the look on Rory's face I will regret this conversation forever.
