I'm sorry this chapter is shorter than usual but I promise the future chapters are longer than this one. Enjoy!

Katniss POV

I can't believe what I just did. I was the one who kissed him not him kissing me. I just had an urge to do it. But why did I do it? The question goes through my head over and over. One thing I am sure about is that kiss felt amazing. It felt like it was our first kiss. I didn't want it to be so short but his brothers were watching and it was making me feel awkward. I guess I kissed him as a way to say thank you and sorry for this morning. I feel so bad about what I said to Peeta in the classroom. Basically telling him to keep away from me, which I didn't want to have to say but I don't want any more rumours coming up that could possibly find its way to my mother's ear.

For the rest of the week Peeta's promise sticks and he stays away. No more rumours shower our school. Madge and Gale finally start dating, I can tell they really like each other. They are all over one another at lunch time. It kind of makes me wish I had someone that I could do that with. Every time I see them together it makes me think of Peeta and how I miss him.

That's the thing I hate most about him, he makes me get butterflies and I blush whenever I think about him. I can't stand not talking to him and I wonder if he feels the same way. At the end of the school week I spend my weekend hunting catching all kinds of game so my family will be well fed for a couple of days. When I finish hunting I walk back through the Seam towards the hob to sell the game I don't need and both days I must walk past the Mellark's bakery.

I wonder if Peeta sees me walking past and wants to come out of his house and hug me to say we can be friends again as much as I want to. I can't stand us not talking for too much longer. The boy I once hated to be around I now want him around me, always. Should I just not care about what other people think and what my mother might hear so I can at least talk to Peeta?

The next week at school things are just the same as last week. Peeta and I still aren't talking to each other and no more rumours are going around the school about me and and Gale are still romanced up by one another, making me want company even more. But on Tuesday when I arrive at school I notice something strange among the students. They aren't whispering to each other when I walk past they just give me a death stare. What the hell is this about? It better not be another rumour. I guess no matter what Peeta and I do to stop these from happening the people at this school will say anything and everything to put someone down. At lunch no one is sitting at my normal table normally Madge and Gale would be sitting there waiting for me but they aren't for some reason. Just as I sit down Madge comes storming over towards me.

"How could you?" she says spitefully while sitting down on the other side of the table.

"How could I what?"

"You know what you and Gale did!"

"What? Gale and I didn't do anything. What are you talking about?"

"Did you think you could keep it a secret? Well I found out and guess what the whole school did too, about you and Gale having sex in the woods."

"You can't be serious Madge you know they are all lies! I would never have anything sex related to do with Gale you know were just friends!"

"I know I believed you when that last rumour came up, but not this one."

"Madge it didn't happen!"

"Well explain to me why he left the school when I confronted him about this. He would only do that if he was guilty!"

"He probably didn't want to hear you yelling at him about it like you are doing to you have to believe me, it isn't true!"I say in frustration as my eyes start to water.

"It is true I know it is, you guys are always going to the woods together and I wouldn't be surprised if you guys didn't end up having sex every time you went out there"

"Madge, why do you believe this?"

"Silver Overwill said she saw you two kissing in the shed last week just after me and Gale started dating. How do you explain that?"

"What! She's a liar that never happened you have to believe me. You're my best friend!"

"We are not friends Katniss, not anymore. Don't you ever talk to me again" she says walking out of the lunch room sobbing.

I'm stunned. How could she believe that? I put my face in my hands and start to cry. Not wanting to draw attention to myself I run out of the lunch room and go to the shed to get away from all this chaos. Once I get to the shed, I walk into the middle of the room and fall to my knees in shock. The tears that were once running down my face are now making a tiny puddle. Maybe I'm just being a little dramatic about this whole thing but I now have no friends and the whole school hates my guts for something I never did, the story of my life.

Why would someone make this up? It doesn't just ruin me but it ruins my two best friends. They only just started dating! Does this person seriously want to ruin me and my friend's lives? Well I won't let them; they are going to wish they never made up these stupid lies. I hear the shed door open behind me but I don't bother looking to see who it is. It's probably some kids who want to watch me drown in my sorrows.

"Katniss… are you alright?" says a guy with the sweetest voice I've been longing to hear call my name.

Same as always chapter will be up in 3-4 days maybe even shorter if I'm feeling generous but I don't want this story to end too quickly if I keep updating too often because I really enjoy making the ones who enjoy this story suffer! Jokes I just love making new chapters and coming up with awesome ideas, but don't worry this story won't be going soon I'm not even half way through all my chapter ideas yet :)
