Loved the reviews I got from the last chapter, had to laugh at some! Rest assured, I think Gale is okay, but I sure as hell will NEVER pair him and Katniss together. The idea, well, it repulses me. Oh, and shout out to NeverRegretAnything, I like to leave you cliffhangers just to keep you tuned in(; Alright, enough of my rambling, here is Chapter 11 as promised.
I turn to see Gale staring at me, a look of pure hatred crossing his eyes quickly.
"Hi, uh, Gale." I stutter, my hand on Peeta's clenching a bit.
"What is he doing here?" He spits out, is jaw ticking.
"He's walking us to school." I reply calmly, but my patience is being tested. A lot.
"He has no right to be here! He is a townie, not a Seam!" He yells, and I glare at him, and snap.
"He has a name! And it is Peeta! Peeta," I scream, "is my boyfriend! Now are you going to act mature about it Gale, or be an ass?" His face has shock written all over it, and Prim is covering her mouth, eyes glimmering with silent laughter.
"Let's just go to school." He mumbles, and I gladly take Peeta's hand again, and we resume our walk to school.
"Did the Undersee's like their cake?" I ask Peeta, and he smiles.
"Loved it, especially the small flecks of blue and green splattered in some spots." He grins at me, and I blush. "Wouldn't know why that happened, would you?" I punch him playfully, and Prim runs up.
"Why is there green and blue flecks across the cake?" She asks with a mischievous grin. I blush even more at that, and she laughs.
I hear Gale huff, and I whip my head around. He glares at me, and I scowl in return. Peeta leans by my ear and whispers that it isn't worth it. I turn back around and we finally arrive at school. Gale mumbles a goodbye, quickly parting for the 12th grade wing. Prim hugs me and grabs Rory's hand, skipping to 6th grade. Everyone stares at Peeta and I, causing me fidget.
"Just ignore them." He whispers, and I smile a bit.
When we get to my locker, I pull in some books and class work. Shutting the door quickly, I turn around to Peeta. "See you in Trig?" I ask with a smirk.
He leans down to kiss my forehead. "Yeah." With a smile, Peeta leaves to his first period, which is art. All they do is sketch the mines and stuff like that, but Peeta enjoys learning the facts about art. I smile to myself, and go to first period. Madge sits in the back next to an empty desk, and I slide in.
"Hey." I say with a smile.
She looks a bit flabbergasted. "Hey, uh Katniss. You're in a good mood…" I nod with a slight smirk. "Peeta." She whispers, then grins like a fool.
"How did you know?" I ask, stunned that she figured out.
"I didn't. But you just proved to me that I was right!" She laughs, and I scowl back, but give into the laughter too. We both wheeze for breath, and everyone stares at us as though we are completely crazy. The bell rings out, and we quiet down. Between moments of silence, we glance at each other and grin with snickers.
After the bells rings again, we say our goodbyes and I race towards Trigonometry. Peeta is sitting at our usual desks with a warm smile. I slide in next to him and give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Hi." I say, and the bell rings before he can respond. We silently hold hands under our desks, and work diligently through class. Trig always passes too quickly for me. The bell rings again, and I grimace. Another class without Peeta, it is even physical education. We stand up, and I lean up to give him a quick kiss.
"Lunchtime?" I ask. He nods, and we part.
I get into the dingy locker room and make my way to the small locker that holds my gym clothes. Quickly, I pull off my grey shirt for the dirty brown colored one, with Everdeen scrawled on the back. As soon as I pull the shirt on, I get shoved into my locker. Face first.
"Hello Everdeen." I hear a squeaky voice say. I whip around, knowing my braid is long enough to hit the person in the face. I come face to face with a Sara Shrewman.
"Sara. What the hell do you want." I snap, scowling. One of her friends behind her shrinks a bit, but stands up straight. Sara flips her long straight blonde hair back, and tries to glare back.
"Stay away from Peeta. He is mine, and you definitely don't deserve him." She spits back, and I grin back.
"Oh really?" I say, and then lean back. "What makes you think you deserve him?"
She ponders for a second, and then quickly answers, "I just do. Stay away from him, or you'll regret it."
I lean forward next to her ear, and whisper, "The only thing I will regret is messing up my arrows with your blood. Just remember I shoot straight. Every. Single. Time." I flop back against the lockers, and she visibly is shaking now. Her friends have run away, and she sneaks in one last comment before running away.
"You'll regret this Everdeen. I swear on it. He is mine, and will never belong to a Seam brat like you."
We'll see Sara, we'll see. I silently think, and turn back to finish changing.
Ah, gotta love those needy bitches. Hope you enjoyed the chapter! REVIEW.
