Hunger Games High: An Everlark Story

Gale?

Katniss' POV

"Gale?" Delly whispers. Madge and I nod. He could be watching us right now. I can't break down.

"I'm going to pound that..." I cover his mouth.

"Finnick stop, he's not worth it!"

"He hurt you!" Finnick argues back.

"I'm fine!" I snap at him.

"Kat," I cut Annie off too. "Stop it! Alright? I'm fine! You're fine! We're all fine, Ann!Okay?"

"Okay."

"Guys just! No!!!" Clove wails running out of the room.

"What in the world?" I wonder out loud.

"Cato? Did you take her to see that movie?!" Annie confronts him.

"Ugh, yeah," he mumbles scratching his head, and I just shake my head.

"Guys, let's focus, we have to keep Kitty here safe from Gale," Finnick whispers.

"Guys just stop! I told you! I'm fine! And quit acting like I'm some kind of lost puppy and that it's your job to protect me from the outside world! I can fight for myself, thank you!"

"I'm with brainless here," Jo smirks wrapping an arm around me.

"Thanks Jo," I smile. At least I've got one person.

"Me too," Madge steps up by me.

"Sorry Kitty," Finnck says and him and Annie stand by me.

In a matter of minutes, everyone but Peeta is standing by me. It breaks my heart that I thought he cared about me.

"What about you?" I ask him, it comes out pretty harsh.

"Katniss, I... I can't see you get hurt," he whispers.

"I'm not going to."

"We don't know that," he mumbles.

"Peet, c'mon. Your girl is standing here with everyone but you supporting her," Marvel says. His girl? Peeta glares at Marvel and I know this must be real. That Peeta likes me too. I look at him. He looks at me. And we have a staring contest. I stare into his endless blue eyes and he looks into my dull gray ones.

"Ugh, guys! Just kiss already!" Finnick whines in a girly voice.

"So Katniss, how about that kiss," Peeta says and I kiss him on the cheek."Fair enough," he says. I smile and hug him.

"Thank you," I mumble into his ear.

After that amazing moment where he held me and sparks went off in my body, one second, let me get out of Peetaland. Okay. So we all sat in a circle in the living room and thought about what would set off he fire alarms. I know the boys would. It joke about this so it had to have been Gale. You know when you get that feeling. Yeah, that's what I had. So in a way, I just knew. What I didn't know was why the fire alarms were going off. Did he burn something? Was he playing with them? Or were they even our alarms? We come up with a whole bunch of different theories until I figure it out. When I was with him, he always smelled like cigarettes. Now I know why.

"He smokes."

Cliffhanger. Yay. That was short I just wanted to leave you hanging because I'm evil. >:) I'll try and update again soon!!!!
