Jay Gatsby is the man who has everything. But one thing will always be out of his reach. Everybody who is anybody is seen at his glittering parties. Day and night his Long Island mansion buzzes with bright young things drinking, dancing, and debating his mysterious character. For Gatsby---young, handsome, and fabulously rich---always seems alone in the crowd, watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. Beneath the shimmering surface of his life he is hiding a secret: a silent longing that can never be fulfilled. And soon this destructive obsession will force his world to unravel.

"Did you love Annie right away, Finnick?" "No, She crept up on me." -Katniss and Finnick, Mockingjay p.174 A small story about how the star-crossed lover from District 4 met, grew, and fell in love. AU: This is my first story, I hope you like it. Please comment :)!!

I wrote this for my American Literature class. It's a spinoff of the great Gatsby. It is 9 chapters just like The Great Gatsby. The setting is that they are in high school, but with an interesting twist. I called it Ellismere high but titled the book Gatsby High. I wrote this book in about 8 hours so I apologize if it's not that great or has spelling and grammar errors as I'm sure it does. And as always please comment(I would love feedback), vote, or share.
