Regarding some of the reviews I got on my last chapter, I know you guys have a right to an opinion, but I mean come on it's just a bloody story. I come here to write for fun I'm not writing a hunger games book I don't have to make the characters all like themselves. If you don't like it don't read it. Remember that Katniss is hurt; Peeta did make a bet about Katniss. How would you feel if the guy you really liked or even loved just dated you so he could fulfil a bet to have sex with you then possibly just dump you after wards? I don't blame Katniss for giving him some sort of revenge by dating his best friend to make him jealous. Even though Peeta did like her for her, but would you immediately take back a guy like that after your whole relationship could have been built around lies?

Peeta POV

I cannot stand seeing Katniss with that loser. Every time I do, which has only been three times so far, I nearly fall to my knees in heartbreak. Why would she do that? There has to be a reason behind it, but what? Crucis must be in on it, what if he is bribing her? What if it's just a ploy to make me jealous? Either way it's working. The more I think about them two together, the more I want to get Katniss away from him and have her back in my arms where she is meant to be. I made a promise to keep her safe and I wish I could have kept that promise, but she won't even acknowledge me. She probably wouldn't even notice I'm gone, if I ran away. Maybe it's better if I do. Run away, get caught by the capitol and possibly live locked up for the rest of my life or whatever they do there to people who try to escape, but I want her, I need her. Should I fight for her, should I really try and get her back, make her somehow talk to me? First I need to talk to Crucis, I need to know why he is dating Katniss.

For the rest of the week I check the lunch room to see if Crucis is alone so Katniss won't know I have been talking to him, but everyday she is always there. I just want her back so bad. I love her so much and I just want to be with her, but she doesn't want me. She wants that jerk Crucis. It makes me mad just thinking about him. It makes me mad knowing that he gets to hold her, talk to her and be with her. Now is the time to try and get her back. I've made her like me or even love me once before, maybe I can do it again. I should never have given up on trying to get her back. But first I need to confront Crucis. I don't understand why he would date Katniss. Why would he do that to me? He knows I love her and how much I care for her. He is meant to be my friend. The person who I have fun with and helps me through break up not makes them worse by going and dating my girl.

Next week during lunch I go into the lunch room where Crucis and Katniss will be sitting down watching me enter the room. Once I enter the room I look over at their usual table, but it is only occupied by my old friends and Crucis. I wonder where Katniss is. Maybe she is still in her last class. Perfect. Now is the perfect time for me to talk to Crucis alone. I walk over to their table and when I am a couple of metres from reaching their table Crucis glances over at me giving me a look as if he is saying in his head 'what the hell is he coming over here for'.

"What do you want Peeta?" He says leaning back in his chair and folding his arms over his chest.

"I want to speak with you… privately."

"Fine, I'll be back in a second guys." He says to the people at his table and he follows me to where I'm standing a couple of metres away from their table.

"What do you want to talk about Peeta?" He says folding his arms once again. Jerk thinks he's tough.

"You and Katniss."

"What has that got to do with you?"

"It has a lot to do with me actually, because she is my ex-girlfriend who isn't meant to be with a jerk like you. She is meant to be with me. Did you bribe her to date you or something?"

"Hey we shouldn't be calling me the names here, you were the liar, the player and the jerk here, and you were the one that hurt Katniss."

"I didn't mean to hurt her, you were the one who made up that stupid bet and now because of you I don't have her. Was this your plan the whole time, just to ruin me, take away the one thing I love?"

"And what would that be? Your little whores?"

"No, I love Katniss you jerk. She is meant to be with me, not you!"

"Well she obviously is meant to be with me, she chose me over you, didn't she? You need to get over her Peeta, she doesn't want you she wants me. There is nothing you can do to get her back. So just leave her alone." He says as he starts to walk back towards his table, but I grab his arms and pull him back towards me.

"I'm not finished talking to you yet."

"What else have you got to say Mellark?"

"I want to know why you are dating her."

"Fine then, over these past couple of weeks we have really grown to know each other very well. We both love each other. We have already even had sex" He says making my stomach drop.

"You what? You probably pushed her into it didn't you?"

"I didn't push her into anything, it was her idea actually. She has a great body doesn't she?"

I start to feel the adrenaline running through me. The thought of him and Katniss having sex together disgusts me, how could she do that. "Oh and you want to know something else? I was the one who made up all those rumours to force you and Katniss apart. I knew she would blame you for always having rumours about you going around the school so that you couldn't fulfil the bet. Even the one about Katniss and Gale I made up because I wanted to have Katniss to myself, I have loved her for longer than you have so I am the one who truly deserves her. I knew I could have her to if I took all of her friends away she would be vulnerable and sad and wanting a friend… who is me.

"If you loved her then why did you make up the bet if you knew that Katniss and I could possibly end up dating?"

"I knew how you truly felt about her when you were a player and I knew I could ruin your reputation in this school I knew that you would fall for her, you know it's always been about Peeta at this school so I decided it was my turn to be the most popular at this school. So I made you take up the bet with Katniss which lead you two to start dating. Then I made up the rumours to break you apart and break her away from her friends. Then tell the whole school about your little bet with Katniss to make you look like the bad guy she should have never been with. Then I come into the picture as the nice, friendly guy that Katniss should have always been with. Genius isn't it?"

"You are sick do you know that?"

"I personally thought it was genius, well I better get back to my friends and my lovely girlfriend should be here soon. I wonder if we can have a quickie in the janitor's closet." I feel the adrenaline running through me again and the anger start to build up inside me. Without even thinking I give Crucis a big punch to the face knocking him to the ground…What have I done? The whole school starts rushing over to Crucis and people start helping him up.

"What the hell was that for?" he says wiping away the blood that is running out of his nose.

"Crucis are you ok?"Katniss says running through the crowd of people.

"Yeah I'm fine." He says giving me and evil look.

"What the hell is your problem Peeta!"

"I-I don't know what came over me, I'm sorry Crucis."

"Sorry doesn't cut it. You just punched him in the face making him bleed… Was this about me?"

"Yeah but-"

"I don't want to hear an excuse, just stay out of my life." She says walking back towards Crucis.

Have I completely ruined my chance at ever getting back with her now? It defiantly feels like it. I can't believe I just did that. I'm never violent. Just as I start to walk back towards my table a teacher comes walking up to me and he looks angry. I think it might have something to do with me punching Crucis.

"Mr Mellark, principal's office now!" So off I go to see the principal. I have a feeling this could be bad.

For the next hour I get a huge big lecture about violence in the school blah, blah, blah. Anyway I end up getting suspended for a week. Great, what will my parents think? Even though they aren't very strict, they don't like it when their children get into trouble at school. After my talk with the principal I am sent home, but I decide to take a walk around the seam. I think about my future with Katniss. Just a couple of hours ago I thought I might actually have a chance at getting Katniss back. But now I'm not so sure. If only she would let me speak to her so I can tell her all the things I want to tell her. Would she agree to talk to me, after what I did to her jerk of a boyfriend? I decide to go to her house and wait behind one of the bushes beside her house since she should be coming home very soon. I guess there is nothing more I can lose now.

For you people who are very eager to have Peeta and Katniss back together the you might like the next chapter and just pretend their is a bush beside her house :D Same as usual next chapter will be up in 3-4 days.
