The Hunger Games - Second Quarter

3

"Elsa, how is District 12?" The crazy-haired interviewer asked. He had pitch red eyes, his hair was red and looked like a circus clown, even his skin and clothes were red.

"Good." I replied boldly. "Everything is good."

"And Gale, we know Elsa has lived in a victor house but what about you? what is the transition like?" The interviewer asked peeking his lips out.

"To be honest, its wierd. I'm used to living in the bottom part of the district not the upper part." Gale replies. What he meant by the bottom and upper part was that the victor village was on a hill side, you had to walk up stairs to get to it. Where as the poor people of the district lived in the bottom, the roads were chipping, goats everywhere, the occasional dead body on the ground but even when that happened the peace keepers made sure no one saw it, and even if they did they were swore not to tell. The questions continued on about oyr District and what it was like being outside of it.

"It's different, I mean i've never really been outside my district. " Gale and I replied.

But there was one question in particular that stuck out.

"What is your love life like?" The interviewer asked giving us a perky smile.

Gale and I exchanged looks, none of us knew where we stood.

"Its great." Gale smiled taking my hand. I looked at him, he smiled at me and I smiled back.

"I'm really happy, I could never wish for anything to change." I said, I meant it. I did like Gale in fact I think part of me was ready to love him, but the majority of me wasn't.

The interview had come to an end, for now. We still had to have a group interview with Katniss and Peeta. Gale and I watched as Katniss and Peeta talked about their own love life.

"Did you mean what you said in the cave?" I asked not making eye contact. I felt his gaze on me.

"Well.. yeah." He replied. "I said I did."

"We haven't even seen each other until before the tour." I say finally looking at him.

"Okay, Elsa. Maybe I didn't mean it entirely, the love part because as you said love is a strong word. It was just the heat of the moment I didn't know what to say I was just trying to make it up to you. For what I did before, that was a mistake." Gale whispers. "Did you even mean it?"

"Why does it matter, even if I did, you didn't. " I reply.

"You are better then Katniss, Elsa I do love you but not in that way and I know you feel the same." He said.

I closed my eyes. "Okay Gale." I spoke.

"Elsa." He smirked.

"What?" I asked.

"You look pretty." He replied. Typical Gale.
