Always (An Everlark Story)

Chapter 30

Katniss POV

(At school)

I walk down the cold dark hallways to my next class. The principal loves our school to be freezing cold and super dark. Nobody knows why.

I walk into my next class scanning the room for any chance of Gale here. What he did to Peeta was so uncalled for and I have never been so mad at anybody before. As long as I have Peeta with me I know I can do anything, he is my everything. But these past couple of weeks have been so strange and sad. I really had it.

It's not until I feel a cold hand on my shoulder, that I'm taken out of my daze. I jump, startled by the feeling, especially from what I was think about. I slowly turn around with wide eyes only to find Peeta.

I hit him playfully "You scared me!"

He grins "I see."

"Is Gale here?" I ask pulling my chair out and taking a seat at my desk.

Peeta stays standing because his desk is over on the other side of the room.

"I haven't seen him, but I don't care that much."

"Yes you do he almost knocked you out. If I were you I would be scared. Heck I'm scared right now." I say laughing but scared inside

He gives me a reassuring hug then walks over to his desk.

The class goes by very slowly. I guess watching the clock the whole time didn't help anyway. In the back of my mind I'm wondering where the heck Gale is and what he is planning.

Soon the bell wrongs and I actually get a little excited for Mr.Abernathy's class especially since he told me all about what he really thought of me.

I hurriedly go to my locker and grab my things and run to class.

I walk in and the room is so different, the once tables are now small desks but all around the room, like you see right before you go in to take a test. He even moved his desk area to the other side of the room to make it fit. All this for me?

"The seating chart is up here." Mr.Abernathy says as I've been walking around the room for awhile "Do you like the room better this way?"

"All for me?" I ask not really realizing I said it out loud

"Of course sweetheart. You sit over here and miss Gracie sits all the way over there." He says pointing to the opposite sides of the classroom

"But where does Peeta sit?" I say anticipating the answer

"Right here." He says pointing to the desk right next to mine

I can't explain my excitement.

"Thank you!" I exclaim taking a seat at my new spot

"Ew I hate these desks?"

"Really this is awful?"

"Why am I not sitting next to Peeta?"

I hear a bunch of snobby kids say as they walk in the room and no doubt in my mind that Gracie was the last one.

Class starts and ends pretty fast. My day has been going pretty well so far. No Gale. No Gracie.

Soon enough the day is over and I'm walking to my car with Peeta. I have a big smile on my face until I hear a familiar voice.

"Hey Catnip."
