*A/N* I'm so sorry about this chapter! Seriously TWO WEEKS! AAH i feel so bad i know how it is when a story doesn't update for two weeks... aah well anyway you guys TOTALLY have a right to be pissed at me. My macbook decided to just cop out and stop working, and it just started working right again. I had a really long chapter i had been writing for a few days, but then i lost it. This chapter might not be too long, i'll see how much I can remember, but I really wanted to give you guys something. Take my word for it when i say i'm really sorry about the whole updating thing.

LOL SO CHAPTER 8

Peeta and I kiss for what's probably minutes but for me it only seems like a split second of time.

The best split second of my life.

Wait what, the best split second of my life! I don't like Peeta! He's stupid, fat, and annoying! How could i be falling for him?

But he's so cute!

Am I arguing with myself?

Do I need to be in a mental hospital?

Shit, i didn't feed Buttercup!

These are some of the thoughts that are going through my head after I pull away from our kiss.

"You guys are absolutely disgusting!" Madge says.

Oh, right. I forgot she was there.

Peeta pipes up. "We're adorable together, right Katnith?" He says this with a dumb sounding lisp but I smile.

"No, you're not," Madge says. "You guys look like a couple of slobbery dogs going at it. Neither of you can kiss right and Peeta got hard in the middle. Gross." She starts for the door but then turns around, and faces me and Peeta.

"You guys really need to stop sucking face, though. It's disgusting and the entire class, and the teacher, are out in the hall because they didn't want to watch your shit." I look around and realize this to be true. She turns the other way once more, gives me the finger, and slams the door.

So that's why he made me feel like I was the only girl in the room.

Except for Madge. But she's a lesbian, so she doesn't count.

Peeta and I are alone in the room now.

"So you want to go through with this whole 'Hunger Games' thing?" I ask.

"Well, now that I think about it, not really. I'm not sure if it's worth the heartache."

"But my family and I might finally be able to eat two whole meals a day if we win! The Victors are so rich, Peeta!"

"But we'll have nightmares and hallucinations and all this other shit we read about for the rest of our lives!"

I consider this. "Eh, who cares, we'll be rich."

"Yeah, you're right. Money's great." Just as he says this, the class starts to file back into the room. The teacher stands at the front of the room.

"Well, that was a great waste of class time. Your turn next in Truth or Dare, Max. And Bernadette, you suck at kissing. But Katniss and Peeta, we're going to change one of your class schedules so you aren't in the same room at the same time-" Peeta grasps my arm, and with a dramatic voice, he says,

"They're trying to take you from me! Katniss, the capitol is trying to separate us!"

The teacher interjects. "No, we just can't have any more class disruptions. Actually, that was really fun, so I wouldn't mind. But I still have to teach this crap for the standardized testing at the end of the year, which is rapidly coming close. Maybe if, like two of you pass, I can get a raise and move out of my tarp in the school field and upgrade to a parking lot location. I hear they've got a great view. Anyways, Peeta, you'll be having Panem history from now on with Mr. Marks, pack up your things."

"No. I won't ever leave your side, Katnith Everdeen."

I'm starting to get irritated with him. I can't believe 5 minutes ago I thought I liked him. "Just get the fuck out, Peeta."

"No, Katniss, they've brainwashed you! We're meant to be together! I-"

Gale gets up and grabs him by the wrists, drags him out of the room, and locks the door. "Problem solved."

The teacher SWOONS. "Thanks, Gale, you're so strong, Gale."

I'm disgusted at the inappropriateness of that, and I begin thinking about just reporting this slutty bitch, but then I see Peeta begins clawing and screaming at the door through the small window. I can faintly hear him yelling about a Capitol conspiracy and I just want to shut him up.

"Here, let me fix this," I say. "Gale, come here." He happily obliges. "I'll tell you when to come over to the door."

I walk to the door and give Peeta the finger. He looks shocked and I motion for Gale to come over by the window.

I pull Gale down to my height and say, "Kiss me."

He giggles like a 5 year old and puts his lips to mine. We kiss for a brief 10 seconds before I see Peeta walk from the door out of the corner of my eye. I try and pull away from Gale but he holds tight, eyes closed, lips puckered. I eventually wrest myself from his grasp and he still stands in his same position for about 10 seconds while all of the kids laugh and the teacher looks ready to kill someone. He realizes he looks like an ass and, blushing and embarassed, goes out to join Peeta crying in the hallway.

a/n So worth the wait? Probably not. But I promise to update soon, save my computer isn't working again. Which I guess is kind of likely. Love you babes!
