Gale POV
I was secretly hoping in my mind to sit next to Madge but unfortunately the girls sit at the back except Clove who sits next to Cato near the driver seat while Finnick, Peeta and me sit in the middle passenger seat and others sit at the back and the car starts moving. Suddenly there is awkwardness in the air and Finnick breaks the silence. He is the one known to break awkwardness.
"Have I ever seen you Clove?" he questions
"You might have not but I have seen you wandering around the neighborhood waiting for Cato to go to football practice and once he pointed out you too" she replied looking dreamily thinking about the past.
"Yeah I have seen you too waiting for Cato to go to school together and in lunch you share HI's and bye's at school and Cato stares at you even after you go..." Finnick says and Cato can't hide his blush which creeps into his face. Clove stares at him and gives a small chuckle and I can hear Madge and Annie chuckle from behind. Why on Earth is that girl so hot and can you ever hear such a beautiful chuckle. Even the smallest of things are beautiful of her.
Suddenly Katniss pops out with a question
"Earlier Cato mentioned about some forest guy, dough boy and something else. What were those and please don't get it wrong but I was just curious"
"Well it was actually Finn is crazy of swimming so he is water boy, Gale practically lives on the forest and hunts so he is the forest guy and my family owns a bakery and I come fully covered with flour for football practice so I am either bread boy or dough boy "says Peeta and I even wonder how Peeta can talk this much while holding his breath.
"Oh" is all what Katniss said and Madge opened up
"Then why is Cato is left without any name?" she asks her voice filled with curiosity. I thought quick and answer my girl and when did Madge become my girl. But even before I could finish Finn was answering her
"Cato never comes out of the football or basketball ground or anything it is so he is called athlete boy" all the girls were amazed over the joy we shared but I silently cursed Finn under my breath for spoiling my chance to speak to Madge. I thought of some way to speak to her so I started thinking Think Hawthrone Think Hawthrone I kept repeating in my mind until I suddenly blurt out.
"Don't you girls keep names...? I mean you girls were pretty amazed with our names so what about you"
