The Hunger Games - Raining Fire [[EDITING]]

Chapter 2

"Come with me, they're not as mad as they used to be! Stay strong, Peeta. Don't become a coward in front of your girlfriend!" I convinced him while pulling him along. His shoes dragged across the floor.

"Peeta, the man!" Haymitch giggles, "So how have things been?" 

"Good. I haven't been doing much lately though. Listen, can I talk to you privately?" he asks. 

Haymitch answers sarcastically, "No!" Haymitch and Peeta walk out. Haymitch looks a bit dizzy but manages to stay firmly on his feet. This is my chance to sneak out with Gale, but I decide not to, since it'll be rude leaving Haymitch and Peeta around on their on. Besides, Haymitch is drunk and uninvited!

"So, what should we do outside?" I ask him. 

"Dunno, practicing hunting I guess." he replies. 

I shriek, "For what??! It brings back bad memories, especially about my sister..." I couldn't go on, to upsetting. 

Galr looks down sadly, as he's guilty for saying that. "Oh, right."

Peeta and Haymitch come back in, chuckling. 

"What's so funny guys?!" I asked, in jealousy since I want to join in with the laughter. 

"Oh, it's just nothing." Peeta says, whilst trying to clear his throat of all the laughter and giggles. But he does not seem to stop.

"Nothing??!!! Doesn't sound like it. You've been laughing hysterically!" I yell.

Gale rolls his eyes at Peeta as he's still having fun without us! I sigh, "Moving on! Nice seeing you Haymitch. Gotta go Peeta. Bye!" I waved at both of them.

They both wave back. Peeta blows an air kiss to me. I smiled. "C'mon Gale! We've got a place to go to." I exlcaim, trying to make him happier and brighter this morning. 

"You seem very happy today!" he says and smiles. The first time I've seen him smile in ages!

"ME??! I got woken up to a surprise by Peeta! I'm actually very tired." I shout. 

"Well, that killed the bright mood, Catnip!" Gale chuckles. 

I allow myself to laugh too. 

"Oh, well." We walk out of home together.
