So I'm updating a bit sooner so I don't have to worry about it this weekend. Hope you guys will like this chapter!

Katniss POV

I can't believe I've just ditched him again. I wouldn't be surprised if he just didn't want to study with me again, because I'll probably just run off for some stupid reason. But this time I needed to run away, I know that it would have turned into something more than a kiss and I can't be involved with a guy like that. I know it would come back to bite me in the ass. What should I say to him if he asks me why I ran away when he sees me at school? Should I just avoid him so things don't have to be weird between us? I think that's the best possible solution for me to just avoid him during and after school and hope he doesn't bring upanything in English when we have to work together.

For the next week of school I avoid all contact with him, except for English. During lunch when he looks over at me I look away as quickly as I can to avoid him from coming over to me. I then leave the lunch room and go to the girls bathroom where he can't find me. Luckily during English he doesn't bring up anything that happened in the woods and we just get on with our assignment. He can probably tell by my body language that I don't want to discuss what happened, but I know in his head it's the only thing he's thinking about. When Friday comes I'm glad I don't have to put up anymore walls for a couple of days to avoid Peeta and I can just keep to myself at home and go out hunting all weekend. I know I can't avoid him forever and I get butterflies in my stomach when I think about having to see him at school again. I'll have to put my walls back up so he knows I still don't want to talk about it.

Next week at school I do the usual thing, avoid Peeta and make myself invisible, but not today I notice everyone looking at me very strangely. I know it's nothing I'm wearing because this is what I usually wear to school. I know it's not my face because I've just seen my reflection in the girls' bathroom. What can it be? Then I notice students whispering something to their friends and gasping when they finish telling them whatever stupid rumour it is. Wait that could be it, a rumour, but why are they looking at me? Then I think about my kiss with Peeta, could that be the reason everyone is staring at me possibly whispering something about me. About me kissing Peeta? I start to get angry as I think about him telling all his friends about his next girl then spreading it around the school. But I refuse to be one of those girls. I walk into the lunch room and sit down at my usual table with Madge and Gale already sitting there waiting for me.

"Katniss what is going on? Is it true?" Madge says to me.

"Is what true?"

"You know the rumour about you having sex with Peeta in the school shed I hope it isn't true."

"WHAT! Where the hell did you hear that?" I say with a stunned look on my face. Who would spread such a rumour like that?

"Everyone has been saying it. And it sounds pretty true to me with all the details."

"Katniss you know what kind of guy he is. Why did you let him get to you? I knew this was going to happen." says Gale shaking his head in disbelief.

"Why do you guys believe everyone else? You know I would never do such a thing and I would come clean with you guys straight away. I did NOT have sex with Peeta and I never will!"

"Ok what a relief. You had better be telling us the truth Katniss, because I really don't want you having sex with that jerk" says Madge.

"Trust me guys, I have not had sex with him I promise on our friendships."

"Thank god for that, but now you have to convince the rest of the school you're not one of Peeta's whores" says Gale.

"Well they can think whatever they want to think, at least I've still got you guys" I say looking at both of them.

I'm so glad I have them as friends, otherwise I wouldn't have anyone to talk to now since the whole school probably thinks I'm a slut for one, having sex with Peeta and two, having sex with Peeta in the school shed. When I find out who made this stupid rumour up they better wish they weren't alive and it better not be Peeta. Maybe I should confront him about the rumour and ask him if he has anything to do with it. Even though I so badly don't want to talk to him but I need to know. I see Peeta standing with his group of friends probably talking about the rumour. He better be denying it if he has nothing to do with it.

"Do you want me to go and see if he was the one who made up the rumour? You know he'll come right out and say it if I go over there" Gale says to me.

"No its fine I'll do it. I need to ask him myself, thank you though" I say to Gale and Madge.

"No worries, but give him a good slap if he's the one who made it up ok?"

"Oh don't worry, I'll be giving him more than a slap if he's the one responsible" I say with a smile on my face. I start walking towards him and he notices me coming and starts walking towards me as well.

"Can we go and talk somewhere more private?" he says to me.

"You took the words right out of my mouth" I say and he grabs me by the hand dragging me into an unlocked classroom.

"What the hell is going on Peeta? You better not have started this rumour" I say sitting down on one of the desks.

"I was going to ask you if you had anything to do with this rumour. I swear I didn't make it up, and I haven't told anyone about our kiss the other weekend."

"Well I've had nothing to do with it, I only just found out about it then. Do you know anyone who would make a stupid thing like this up?"

"I honestly don't have a clue. I'm positive it's none of my friends because they were all asking me if it was real and-"

"And you better have not said it was true" I say crossing my arms.

"Of course I didn't say it was true. But I wish it was" he says giving me his stupid sexy smile.

"Oh shut up this is serious Peeta. Now I've got reputation of being a slut. You know this is kind of your fault because you are always having rumours made up about you and now I've been bought into it!"

"This is not my fault! I can't help it if people make up these things about me. Maybe that will be a good thing for you. Maybe you will get to be a part of the other sluts in this school"

"Well I don't care if you weren't involved in making it up. It still happened because you are having rumours made up about you, and I don't want to be one of those sluts when I haven't even had sex"

"Well you know we can always change that" he says pointing to himself then me.

"Peeta I'm not going to make this rumour true"

"Alright just a suggestion"

"What are we going to do about it?"

"Nothing. What can we do? Yell it out to the whole school in the lunch room that the rumour isn't true."

"That's actually a good idea, will you do it?"

"Katniss I was being sarcastic. They're not going to believe us. Do you really care about what some loser thinks about you?"

"I guess your right and I don't care what anyone thinks about me, they're all just idiots for believing it anyway."

"See that's the Katniss I know. I also wanted to talk to ask you about you running away in the woods as well wh-"

"I don't want to talk about it" I say cutting him off.

"Why not I just want to know why you ran away."

"I already told you, because I didn't want to go any father and I knew it was most likely going to end up in sex."

"Why would you think that? You could just say you didn't want to."

"But I might have gotten caught in the moment and I could have had a thoughtless moment where all I was thinking about was sex."

"So you were thinking about having sex with me?" he says coming closer to me.

"What? No!"

"Yes you were I can tell your lying to me."

"Oh my gosh Peeta, you do not appeal to me. I will never have sex with you." I say which I would have thought would make him step back but he moves forward and starts to stroke my arm.

"I know you were thinking about it Katniss. You can't deny it." he says and I shake his hand away from my arm and push him backwards.

"This is the reason why I was avoiding you all week. I knew you would be a dick about it. And I'm still blaming you for this whole rumour. I think it's best if we don't talk to each other for a while so no more rumours start up again" I say walking out of the classroom and back to Madge and Gale in the lunch room.

God he is such a jerk sometimes! But deep down I feel like he is right. I was thinking about having sex with him but I knew it was a bad idea and that's why I ran away. Even though in my mind I was thinking about having sex with him I'm so glad I didn't. He would have hurt me and I would be paying the price for it when he would cheat on me. But I can't just jump to conclusions because he might not do that, but 99.9% of me is saying that I shouldn't trust him. But this time I don't know if my instincts are right? My heart doesn't agree with them.

What did you guys think? Who do you think made up the rumour? Next chapter will be up in 3-4 days. Message or review any ideas!
