so you came back for more? well i won't keep you waiting :)

READ! REVIEW! ENJOY!

In a massive panic, I grab my school bag, kiss my mother goodbye and thank everyone for coming. We all dash out the door and we all start running to school. It's quite fun as we have made it into a kind of race, I reach the gates first, mere seconds before Gale. Annie and Finnick must have given up as they are walking hand in hand up to the gates.

Before I can even catch my breath, someone suddenly wraps their arms around me and starts spinning me round. I panic and start violently kicking my leg. Whoever it is realises my distress and finally stops and puts me down.

I turn round to find the culprit is Peeta; I give him an evil glare.

"Why the hell did you do that?" I scold with all the anger I can muster.

"Sorry, I just thought I'd scare you" He apologises looking guilty

I playfully punch him in the arm "well you sure did make me shit my pants" We both burst out laughing to break the awkward tension.

"Where's Madge? Aren't you two like dating?" Gale pipes up, looking rather pissed off.

Peeta awkwardly laughs and runs one of his hands through his hair "yeah we have been together for nearly six months, just like you and Kat. I think she is over by the big oak with Johanna"

In a feeble attempt to break the tension I speak up " Well what are we all standing over here for then, let's go over!" I try to sound cheerful as I swiftly turn on my heel to face Gale, I give him a deadly glare that warns him to try and be nice.

As we walk over, Gale takes his hand in mine and whispers "I'm sorry" into my ear. I notice that this actually sounds genuine so I just smile. I realise that Annie and Finnick are also at the big oak, so they must have walked passed us before.

"Happy Birthday Katniss" says Madge as she gives me an awkward hug. To be honest everything is awkward when she is around, only because she is the new comer in our group ever since she and Peeta started going out. I don't know why but I really don't trust her. Plus the fact she asked Peeta out the same day we broke up.

I have completely blanked out because I don't even notice she is still talking.

"Sorry, what?" I say confused as I was lost in my thoughts.

"This is for you" she smiles and hands me a neatly wrapped present with a silver ribbon tied round it and a perfect little bow on top. Attached to the present is a small tag that reads "Happy Birthday, love Madge" in curly writing.

I rip the paper not caring about keeping in, underneath is a black box and inside the box is a thick forest green headband, decorated with slightly darker green silhouettes of birds. You wouldn't of even noticed them if you weren't looking at it up close.

"Thank you, it's beautiful" I say genuinely

"Oh you're more than welcome; I had no idea what to get you, so Peeta helped me pick it out" she smiles at him but he seems to not even notice as he is completely focused on me, this makes her pout, very unattractively.

"I baked you some of your favourite cheese buns" Peeta hands me of the bakery bags filled with cheese buns. I offer them round and everyone takes one besides Madge, who still seems to be in a huff. I take one myself and shove the last 3 in my bag for later as well as the head band.

Just then, the school bell rings signalling the start of the day. I shove the rest of the cheese bun into my mouth which is only about a quarter and start to walk to the doors when gale grabs my arm.

"Where's my kiss?" he cheekily smirks. I go up on my toes and give him a small peck on the lips

"I'll see you at lunch, save me a seat"

I just nod as I am still eating the cheese bun.

I turn and start heading for the doors when someone calls my name from behind. I turn to see Annie rushing over to me as we both have registration together. We take our seats across from Johanna and Peeta.

Mr Temple is late as usual so we just start talking about the plans for this weekend.

"Hey, I was thinking we could maybe just all have a picnic in the park? You know if the weather is nice, we could play abit of football and just have fun?" asks Johanna

"That sounds greats" agrees Peeta

"Yeah I'll ask Finnick at lunch" adds Annie

"Okay sounds like a plan" I say

Mr. Temple finally arrives and takes the register; we are dismissed and sent to lessons.

Before I know it it's already lunchtime, we all sit outside on one of the large picnic tables in the shade.

We are all teasing Johanna about the mistake she made in chemistry when Gale and Finnick walk over.

"Hey baby" Gale leans down and gives me a peck on the lips before sitting down beside me.

"Would anyone like a sweet? Where did you get them from Johanna? They are delicious!" I pass the bag round so everyone can pick out their own.

"You know the Sunday market? Well I got them from one of the stalls and I'm glad you like them"

For the rest of lunch we chat away and tease each other.

The rest of my lessons fly by and in no time I am saying goodbye to my friends and walking home with Gale. We don't talk about anything in particular, just mainly what we did today.

We come to the corner where I go one way and he goes the other.

"So I'll pick you up at 5?" says Gale

"okay, what are actually doing?" I reply

"Ah now that would be telling, I'll see you later" he gives me a quick peck and without other word he disappears round the corner.

HOPE YOU LIKED IT!
