The next day in school everything's pretty much the same… except Peeta and Delly which I'm surprisingly excited about. Walking into my Bio class Peeta and Delly usually sit next to each other but I see Delly sitting with Madge… in my seat which only leaves her seat next to Peeta empty for me. I walk over in silence not saying a word to anyone and take my seat. Peeta doesn't even acknowledge my presence so we sit there in silence until he decides to talk to me.
"Hi Katniss…" Peeta whispers to me.
"Hi Peeta." I say turning and facing him.
"I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday with Delly…" He tells me, his eyes wandering everywhere around me.
"Don't worry about it." I respond and then quickly catch up on my notes.
"Katniss," He says as he reaches for my hand and I don't object, "That wasn't right of her and I'm sorry I haven't tried to repair our relationship…" I don't pull away but I grasp his hand harder and move myself a little closer, but not too much still knowing that I'm in school.
"Let's talk after school." I say, turning my attention back to the lesson, "Meet me under the tree." He smiles after I said that, knowing that I'm taking part in trying to fix what was broken by Delly. It seems like forever but then the bell finally rings and then I'm off. I stop at my locker and then that's when I feel an unwanted presence behind me. I turn around to find myself facing Delly.
"What the hell was that about Katniss?" She exclaims. I turn away not knowing what she's talking about. Halfway down the hall I can still hear her screaming at me and accusing me of things that I've never done but I just ignore it until she says something about Peeta.
"Peeta was only using you!" I hear from behind me. Before I can control my actions I turn around and sprint towards her dropping my books and now we're in the same dilemma we were in yesterday.
"What do you mean?" I growl at her. A sparkle comes to her eyes as she explains to me that Peeta was only using me to get her jealous but again I know that this is all a lie.
"Delly just stop. Peeta said he only liked you as a friend." I explain to her getting up. By this time a crowd has gathered around us and I scan it and that's when I find Peeta.
"Peeta!" Delly exclaims as she jumps up and tries to wrap her arms around him, but he declines.
"Delly, I had no clue you were this devious." He says, "It needs to stop here." And with that he walks over to me and helps me up. We intertwine our fingers and walk away with Delly screaming things at us and then I feel a book hit me in the back. I turn around to see Delly laughing hysterically and that's when a side of Peeta comes out that I've never seen before. He lets go of my hand and runs back and pins her to the wall and then I can hear him tell her something I've been waiting to hear for a long time.
"It's over."
