A/N: Another long time without me updating I'm super sorry and on top of that it's a shorter chapter than usual! And on top of that it's not a very important chapter. I have to make you guys suffer! Next chapter will be better I promise!
I thought of asking you everybody questions so I can know how you feel about this story so here they are!
Question 1: What are your overall thoughts on the story so far?
Question 2: Would you like me to update with more in a chapter? (It might take longer for me to update.) Or is it enough in one chapter? (I'm going to try to update every week now!)
Anyways time for my shout-outs!
Shadesofedan: AAAHHH! I love you! I love 'Vencia falls'! I feel so special that you are reading my story! I'm making you suffer! You will find out about Gale next chapter!

Alph: Thank you for reviewing! HAHA! I had a huge smile on my face when typing I thought it was super cute I'm glad you did too!
Today was saturday. I still had to go to school because the school decided it would be a good idea to make all the saturdays half a day. I can already tell I will not enjoy school today because I'm so use to sleeping in on saturdays. Even though I'm having some school today nothing can put me in a bad mood. I've been smiling since I got up this morning. Also I can smell what my father is making for breakfast. Home made chocolate chip waffles! At least my breakfast will help brighten up my morning. I go down stairs once I'm all dressed and ready for school.
"Good morning Peeta! What's with your huge smile?" My dad asks.
"Nothing, I'm just excited about my plans tonight."
"I didn't know you had plans! With who?"
"Oh sorry dad I forgot to ask! Me and my friends at school are all going to the movies latter tonight. Is that ok?" I really hope he lets me go.
"Of course Peeta! But who was that boy that dropped you off at the bakery yesterday?"
"Um...he's my new friend" I blush a little thinking about him.
"...Okay..." My dad has the most skeptical look on his face.
"I have to go to the bus stop now. See you later dad."
"Have a good day Peeta!"
I step out my door and I get a text message. It's from Cato.
"Hey Peeta! Do you want a ride to school?"
"Sure. I live about 2 miles down the road from the bakery. I'm standing outside hopefully I won't be too hard to find." I text back.
"Alright I'll be there in a few minutes" After 7 minutes he pulls up.
"Good morning Peeta" Cato sounds energetic.
"Hi Cato. How are you so awake on a saturday morning?"
"I'm just really excited for tonight."
"You are?"
"Yeah! aren't you? I love going to the movies with everyone." He says
"I'm excited too, I'm just really tired right now. I still have to wake up."
"Do you want my coffee?"
"No thanks. I don't like coffee." How sweet of him to offer.
"Are you sure? It doesn't taste like actual coffee I don't like that taste."
"Alright I'll try it." I take a sip. It taste just like chocolate with a little cinnamon.
"So...What do you think?" Cato has a child like eager expression. It's cute.
"It taste amazing! Well for coffee that is." Maybe it's me, but I'm feeling more awake already.
"Have the rest I never finish anyways."
When we get to the school Cato pulls into the parking lot. He turns off his car and just sits there. I open the door, but don't get out.
"Are you coming?" I ask.
"Peeta I..."
"What?" His face looks a lot more serious than it did two minutes ago.
"I uh...never mind."
"Ok..." He's acting a little weird.
"Let's just go to class."
Cato and I both walk into the school and he leaves to go to his class. I go up to English and start to look over the story that we are about to have a test on.
"Hi Peeta!" I look up. It's Nick.
"Hi-"
"Ok so tell me what really happened yesterday! Because people always exaggerate so I can never trust them."
"What did you hear?" I'm pretty sure Nick is talking about the fight, if you can call it that.
"Well...I heard that you and Cato were walking to his car and Gloss started talking shit about you two. So then Cato punched him in the mouth, broke his nose, and broke his arm. After Gloss ran away crying you wanted to pay Cato back so you had sex with him in the back of his car."
"What!? That's not what happened."
"Ok so then tell me what really happened!"
"Me and Cato were going to his car. Gloss called me a faggot. Cato punched him in the mouth. Then Cato drove me home. That's it." I tell him.
"Aw so you guys are together!"
"What. No. He just drove me home like I said."
"But you do like him right?"
"Yes!"
"Well I hear that he likes you."
"Really?" I don't know if I fully believe him. He did hear an exaggerated story of what happened yesterday.
"His friends think he's gay because all he does is talk about you to them."
"What!? Really?"
"Yeah! Just think about it. He has only known you for like two days and he already asked you to go to the movies. He drove you home so he obviously wants to spend time with you."
"I guess your right." I say.
"Of course I'm right! So anyways Do you want to go to the mall with me and some of my friends after school? You can pick up something for your date tonight."
"It's not a date!" Even though I wish it was.
"Yeah ok Peeta...So do you want to or not?"
"Sure I'll go." It can't be that bad.
"Yay! Alright I can't talk now I have to read this shitty story real quick."
Nick starts to read the story and I get back to where I was. We only had a few minutes to read because the second the class started Mrs. Trinket handed out the test. I look over the test real quick. Once I finish my test I see that we have about 15 minutes left of class. I probably should have read the story so I wouldn't have taken so long, but there are still other people who aren't finished. After they are done Mrs. Trinket explains that this wasn't a real test it was suppose to get us ready for what really to come. Once she is done explaining the bell rings and it's time for next period.
"Oh Peeta meet me at my car after school. It's the blue prius." Nick would drive that car.
I leave the room and start walking to math. This morning isn't so bad now that I think about it. I'm going to work on my drawing during math class since I don't have art today. Hopefully I will finish so I can give it to Cato tonight. I walk into math class and take out my drawing to start working on it right away. I decided to have several hills in the background. On the biggest hill I put me and Cato sitting next to each other holding hands and looking up. I shade in the sky quite dark and leave tiny dots so they look like stars. I finished my drawing! I hope Cato likes it. I look at the clock and class is about to end. At least I got my drawing done. I just noticed Clove isn't here! I wonder if she even came to school today. The bells rings and everyone leaves the room. I do the same and exit the building like everyone else. Once I get outside I start walking to the student parking lot just like yesterday. I Find Nick's blue prius. I got there before him so I just wait for him. While waiting I see Cato start walking over to me with a confused look.
"Hi Peeta are you waiting for Nick?"
"Yeah we are going to the mall." Cato's face looks incredibly sad after I answer.
"Oh so I'm not taking you home?"
"No, sorry I didn't know you wanted to."
"Yeah I guess I kind of assumed. You're still coming to the movies tonight right?"
"Of course! I'm super excited about going! Actually I'm going to the mall to buy some clothes for tonight."
"Ok good I'm excited too! Nick's coming so I'll text you later. Bye Peeta." Cato leaves as soon as Nick and his friends walk up to the car.
"Hi Peeta. What did Cato want?" Nick asks
"He wanted to take me home again"
"Aw! That's so cute!" A small girl says. She has a darker skin tone, but it's still quite light. I don't recognise her from my grade so she has to be older. Which is weird because she looks so young and innocent compared to everyone else at school.
"Oh Peeta let me introduce you! This is Rue." Nick points to the Little girl who just talked. "And this is Madge." He points to a blonde girl next to Rue, not artificially blonde like Nick is. Her hair color is definitely natural and a lot darker, it's quite similar to my hair color. Both of the girls look very plain. No makeup and no bright clothes complete opposite of Nick.
"Hi Rue and Madge."
"Hi!" They both say it simultaneously.
"Ok let's go! Peeta has a hot date tonight so we can't be to long at the mall." Nick says. Everybody gets in the car and Nick starts driving. I'm sitting in the back with Madge, but she's looking out the window.
"You do!? With who?" Rue asks.
"It's not a date! I'm just going to the movies with some friends, but Cato asked me" I clarify.
"You guys are together! You two are the talk of the school, who knew the rumors were actually true!" Rue basically shouts.
"We're the talk of the school?"
"Well duh! Cato is just about the hottest person at school. And the fact that you both are gay has everybody talking even more!" Nick adds in.
"How do you know Cato is gay? And I thought nobody cared if we were."
"Have you seen the way he looks at you! I could tell when you two were talking few minutes ago. Also I lied people do care about you two being gay for some reason. I just said they didn't to make you feel better. Rue plug in your Ipod I need some good music." Rue listens to Nick and she starts playing unfamiliar pop songs. Nobody else talks for the rest of the ride to the mall.
