Panem High Chapter 13
Gale's POV

It's been a week since Katniss left. I can't help but feel sorry for her having to do that just because the Capitol basically now own her.

It's really boring without her too. None laughs.

Me and Peeta hang around together as we've become close since is normally me, Kat and Peeta.

Right now, we're all sitting in the park by the Presidents house, we're resting against the wall under a window.

"Oh come on guys! Kat wouldn't want us being all sad and not talking! She'd want us to be happy and chatting" I whisper.

They all perk up smiling.

"Yeah, your right" Glimmer whispers.

"See! Co-" I get interrupted from someone snapping in the house.

"What do you want with me Snow?"

"You have a job, you either do it and listen to us or end up being tortured until you die" He replies.

"I already know your problem with me, I put your wife in jail"

"Yes you did, and she's slowly rotting away in there, so by the time you finally die from being tortured she's have rotted and you'll reunite when your dead. Isn't that nice?" Plutarch says.

"Why do you two have to pick on me for every single thing I do wrong?"

"I agree, she's agreed to work for you, yet your picking on her for every thing she does wrong. You should at least thank her for working for you so you can get money out of her!"

"That was Cinna" Peeta whispers. I nod.

"Look Snow, Plutarch. She doesn't like it, can't you see?! Your not making it fair on her really, you've made her do it since she was 14, that's nearly 3 years! At least give her a freaking break! She's probably sick of the sight of men wanting her just for her perfect body!"

"That was Haymitch" Peeta whispers, again. I nod, again.

"Fine! She has to marry someone then so if anyone asks her she can basically say no because she married and they can't come complaining to us because she rejected them!" Snow says.

The person we don't know scoffs. "Who the hell am I gonna marry?! I'm still 16 nearly 17, I shouldn't be getting married yet! I still have a year and a half of high school!"

"You'll drop out of high school" Snow says.

"WHAT?! I can't drop out of high school!"

"Your uncle here will choose who you marry scenes as you have no parents now and he's the closest to them" Plutarch says. "Oh and you'll marry the man after you've finished high school"

"At aged eighteen?!"

"Yes" I can tell Plutarch is smirking.

"Well then Mr. Abernathy?" Snow says.

"What about that baker, what's his name?" Haymitch asks.

"Peeta?" The person questions.

"Yes"

"Ha, your marrying someone at eighteen" Marvel whispers.

"Shut up! You know I like Katniss, how could I marry someone else?!" He whispers back.

"You have to now" Cato laughs.

Peeta sighs and looks down.

"I saw how you kissed him in the reaping, the cheek and lips"
