The True Mockingjay

Chapter 30

"Gale."

I looked at her shocked. I thought over my answer before answering her. I then said,

"I'm not going to lie you. But you can't tell no one. But yes. I am happy. Right now, we must be secret. Just to protect him."

"At least you're happy. That is all that matters. I hope one day the truth will come out." She said to me.

I am happy that Prim knows. I hate when I lie to her or hide something. I know she will tell no one.

It was later that day. I was walking around the compound. I do that when I am bored and there is nothing for me to do. I then walked down an empty hallway. I was alone down there. But that what I thought. I heard footsteps coming down. I had my back turned to the person. I then felt a pair of arms wrapped around me.

I jump and was ready to attack. But I heard,

"Catnip. It's me. I am sorry."

I looked behind me to see Gale. I looked at him. He looked at me sorry. I just smiled at him. I then said,

"It's cool. Just a little jumpy when someone does that."

"I bet. I won't do it again. I swear." He said to me.

He then pulled me close. What is he doing? We could get caught. I can't afford that. But of course, he won't care. I then said,

"We can get caught. Gale, I don't know if we should. What happened acting normal."

"Oh come on Katniss. What happened to the thrill? We always loved that part when we went hunting." Gale said to me.

"Fine. But if we almost get caught once. It will have to stop." I said to him seriously.

"Deal." He said pulling me close again.

He then leaned down and started to kiss me. I kissed him back. Then we stopped and he held me. I loved being in his arms. I felt safe.

We were in that hallway for a bit. Then we walked out like we were partner in crime and hunting. That is the thing with me and him. He is my partner in crime. He was always the one I lend against for help.

We walked down the hallway. We went back to my room. Prim was in the room. Also, Finnick was there too. I looked at them both. I shut the door behind us.

"What's up?" I asked them confused.

"So we need to talk." Finnick said to Gale and I.

"About?" Gale asked him.

"You two." Prim said.

"What do you mean?" I asked them.

"We both know. We want to help you guys between. Mostly help when you have to act like you are in love with Peeta." Finnick said.

"Thanks guys. But is it that obvious?" I asked worried.

"No. We just know you better. We know what to look for." Prim said to us.

"Thanks guys." Gale said.

We hanged out there for a bit. Then we headed to the dinner. I sat down at a table with Finnick, Prim, and Gale. We were sitting there. Just then Boggs comes up to us.
