Oh, what a chapter. Enjoy.
Act Twenty-Four
Snow eyes scanned the halls of his school. It had taken him immense work to be in the position he was standing at the moment. He wouldn't let anything defeat him, even if it meant selling the remainder of his still existing soul to the demons. The only way to recuperate the formula was by making those dam Ninjas talk.
It was no coincidence they were target him. She must have sent them to finish him off. Students were walking around him to class. One more week before the summer, but without a proper dose of his medicine he would not be standing here next year. He knew she had hid a copy of the formula in school, he had searched countless years for it, but until now he had come across nothing.
Peeta awoke to an aching pain in his back. He immediately blushed remembering why the pain was there. Next to him the bed was empty. Gale was gone. This time his boyfriend had not even left a note.
Peeta sighed. He felt used, did Gale really loved him or was he just using him? He took a quick shower, finished putting his uniform and headed to study hall. There was nothing to study anymore for, he was finally free from school duties, but the principal didn't like for students even seniors to not attend classes on the final week of school. He felt shivers run down his spine as he walked around the corner.
He turned around, but there was no one behind him. For being distracted he almost came crashing with Glimmer. "I'm sorry," he said. "I didn't see you there."
Glimmer stared at him. "A bit distracted are we today Mr. Mellark." Peeta tried to ignore her, but apparently Glimmer had other plans. "Tell me Peeta does he moans my name when he makes love to you, or when he kisses you?"
Peeta whirled around, a baffled expression on his face must have been apparent. "Don't be so shocked Peeta, Gale must have told you, aren't you two close to each other. No secrets between the two of you." Peeta tried to decipher Glimmer's words, but she was making no sense.
"Yeah, we are Glimmer." He said, but the tone of his voice betrayed him.
"Oh really," Glimmer said mocking him. "Did he tell you about that time the two of us had sex at Bing's house." Peeta tried to not act as surprised. Gale and Glimmer had sex.
"He told me. I'm sorry Glimmer but I forgot my phone at the dorm." Peeta passed through Glimmer, heading back to his dorm. This time, Gale had gone too far.
Glimmer stared at Peeta. The poor boy was heartbroken, she knew that. Gale did a terrible thing not telling him about them. "You did an amazing job." Glimmer turned her head to see Gerald who had been hiding behind the staircase.
"I did? Thank you sir, I feel honored." Gerald's eyes shine with malice. "I think I don't need you anymore." Glimmer mouth hanged open. "WHAT."
"Don't raise your voice on me darling, you purpose has been served. You shouldn't had trust me." Gerald left her there feeling dirty, tossed like a rag doll with no valuable use anymore.
Clove deleted the video from her laptop. Peeta's porno video was safe, out of her hands. She no longer wanted to humiliate the boy. Cato could stay with him for all she cared. Grabbing a notebook she walked out her door. She made it to the study room without any problems, but once there she saw Cato's face. He was mad, red mad as a tomato.
"I saw you last night," he said as he approached her, whispering to her. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Cato grabbed her wrist. "Don't toy with me Clove. I saw you outside Collins Hotels, kissing Marvel. My best friend." Clove had never feared Cato, but at the moment she was scared of the older boy.
"Let me go, you're hurting me." Cato pressed harder onto her wrist. "You got no right to tell me anything Cato. Have you forgotten about your crazy crush over Peeta Mellark, pinning over him as a love sick boy." Cato let go of her wrist.
"News flash to you Mr. Handsome and Rich, I know you're pretending to like him. I'm not a fool. All you love is yourself, your money, you're a greedy bastard." She screamed the last words. Everyone on the study room turned to them.
"Clove, you insolent bitch how could you." Clove turned around to see Katniss. Her friend, from the looks of it Katniss had heard everything. Marvel next to her, eyes widen in surprise. They knew one day this all would come crumbling down. Cato was in top of Marvel in less than a minute. Both boys punching, and kicking anywhere it was possible.
" Katniss…" Katniss came closer, taking her by surprise as Karniss slapped her hard across the face. The sting of Katniss palm made tears visible on her eyes. Clove eyes fumed with fury. At that precise moment Glimmer entered the room. "For heavenly sake Katniss, don't be such a hypocrite." Clove eyes scanned Glimmer. The girl looked like she had been crying. Her eyes were red and puffy.
"I saw you yesterday locking lips with no other than a professor." Katniss eyes bulged out of her face. This time it was Clove who took Katniss by surprise and slapped her. Soon all three girls were on the floor, pulling at each other hairs, and tearing at their clothes. All five members of the Barbie's were making a scene among each other for the first time.
The fight was broken by several professors, who had been alerted about the situation by other students.
Cato looked at all of them. He could taste his own blood on his mouth, and the wounds Gale had given him a week early re-opening. Marvel's face all bruised. Clove's uniform once again revealing too much skin, Glimmer's shining hair a mess, and Katniss lips swollen. What had become of their clique? The next words he spoke shocked many. "We are no longer a clique, from this day the Barbie's are disbanding."
Peeta opened drawers, searched under the bed. Everywhere, he needed to find something. Anything to prove Glimmer's words were true. Is not as he would find an incriminating video or pictures, life was not that easy.
He fought back tears. Those threatening letters had warned him. Gale could not be trusted. There was only one place he hadn't searched, the closet. Running to it, he dumped all the clothes to the floor, rummaging through it. Until he found at the back a black shoe box, similar to the white one he kept hidden there. Except his was on the lower floor, this one was on the upper Gale's area. Picking up the box, he dumped all of its contents on the floor.
A black uniform and some letters were on the floor. He picked them up and read them, all of them. By the time he was done, he had a major headache and his hands were trembling. Gale, his boyfriend was part of the Ninjas. The letter he had found when doing laundry was a recruiting letter, and not only that. Gale was to disband their clique, his best friends.
At that moment Peeta blacked out.
Oh, the Barbie's have disbanded. Peeta found out Gale's secret. What's next? I will tell you, the long anticipated Flashback to Bings Party.
