Katniss and Gale - The Kiss

As I got many reviews and views I decided to make the time to write chapter 10 for you all :)

So here goes :P

Chapter Ten - (Two months later)

The last two months have being going well between Gale and I. Everyone is happy for us and waiting for the wedding which Gale and I laugh off nervously. Alice took Madge's and my advice to tell Sean about the baby. Sean was in shock but he promised Alice he would be there for her and the baby so he broke up with Jade. He took early leave from school and started a job at the mines. Alice and Sean slowly fell in love in the last two months and Alice was heavily five months pregnant. The whispers in school didn't help but as promised Madge and I had her back.

As usually as I got changed for school there was a knock on the door, I grabbed by bag and jacket and opened the door to see Gale leaning against the doorway with a beautiful smile. I closed the door behind me. Prim walks to school now with her friend Ameila and June. She said she wants be more independent.

"Hi" I say.

"Hey babe"Gale says and leans down and pecks me on the cheek then on my lips. I blush and he smiles.

He intertwines our fingers and brings them to his lips. We hold hands while we walk to school. He's walked me to school more often to spend more time because he's going to start in the mines in a few weeks. He scared but he wouldn't say that to be. But he has weekends off and he'll only work eight hours a day since there is more workers. Money is still scare but enough to get by. Gale will work from seven in the morning to three in the afternoon. Reduced hours and an extra day off is good but it is still dangerous only takes a few minutes for an accident to happen. Gale and I have talked about this. I told him he could get a job in the town but he just says to many people will go for it.

Gale senses by uneasy and can read my mind what is over so he lets go of my hand and wraps his arm around my shoulders and I wrap my arm around his waist. I press closer to him and he kisses the top of my head.

"Catnip, it will be okay"He says.

"You can't know that"I say and he falls silent.

We reach school and I go to my locker to get my music books. I am making more of an effort in school since the music teacher is retiring in a year and she told me if I work for her class I would get the job as the music teacher to replace her instead of working in the mines. Gale pushes me to do it because the last thing he wants is me down in the mines. There is less women down there though everyone marries young and have children to prevent it. I have the first part of my exam to train for the job and I'm pretty nervous. I can sing and I can play the guitar and piano since I actually pay attention in that one class.

The bell rings and Gale leans down and kisses my head,

"Good luck, you'll d great"He smiles.

"See you at lunch then"I say.

I walk down to the music room to do the exam with Ms. Lane(music teacher) and our principal.

Before open the door Ms. lane walks over to me with a smile,

"Good luck. Don't worry Katniss. There's no one with the talent you have."she says. I take a deep breath after two hours exam over and both Ms. Lane and the principal are smiling and looking impressed.

"Well done Katniss. It went perfect"Ms Lane says smiling.

Then I'm excussed and I walk down to lunch to see everyone waiting for me at our bench. I take a seat beside Gale and everyone turns to expectingly.

"Well, how it go?"Madge says.

"Not sure. Gotta wait and see"I say nervously and Gale rubs my back.

We all eat our lunch and Gale nudges me to look over at Aaron and Madge. I raise my eyebrows and look back at Gale. I know excatly what he's thinking because its the same thing as I am - Looks like there becoming more then friends ;)

Then ten minutes before lunch is over Ms Lane comes over to our table.

"Katniss would you mind coming with me to the office"she says.

"Yea sure"I say and I grab my stuff.

Everyone tells me good luck and I walk down to the office and take a seat.

"Now Katniss, Ms lane and I have discussed and agreed to offer you the position of the music next year when you finish your school. We both think you are up to the job and ms lane has gave you an excellent recommendation. Next week you will have few classes with ms lane has a student teacher"the principal says and reaches for to shake my hand with a smile on his face.

"You deserve it. Well done"he says.

"thank you" I say.

I walk out the door and Ms lane hugs me and congratulates me.

At the end of the day I walk to my locker and I walk into a crowd standing around watching something.

I push my way through the crowd and freeze when I see Jade pining Alice against a locker and then she slaps her face.

I walk up behind Jade grab her hair and throw her over against the other side of the hall against the lockers.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"I roar. "SHES FIVE MONTHS PREGNANT"

Jade stares at me analysing what move t make, I step in front of Alice protectively.

Jade swings for me and I pin her to the ground. Jade so pathetic everyone laughs.

She curses and I make her stand and pin her against the locker. Sean and Gale arrive and help Alice.

Then I say to Jade,

"Watch your back, touch Alice again and you'll have me to deal with. For fucks sake shes pregnant whats wrong with you!"I say loudly.

Gale comes up behind me,

"Come on Katniss, lets go okay?"I say.

I let go of Jade and stare at her.

"Get out of my sight"I say.

Then she runs away.

Gale embraces me.

"You okay?"He asks.

"Yea"I say. "You okay Al"I ask Alice.

"Yea, thanks Kat"She says smiling.

"anytime"I say.

As Gale and I walk to the woods to hunt I tell him I get the job and he picks me up and spins me round.

"Sean asks Alice to marry him"He says with a smile. I gasp.

"Really? When?"I ask.

"Soon, maybe next week. I think he wants to marry before the baby due. To do it right"he says.

"wow, she hasn't got a clue anyway"I say laughing.

"Yea, I think he said he was going to do it at the party in front of everyone"He says.

"Well he must be terrified"I say laughing.

"Definately"He says laughing.

We sit out looking out at the valley as the sunsets with me sitting in between his legs with his arms wrapped around me and wit my hands touching his arms. I lean back and kiss him.
