Here's the next chapter I hope you like it :)
Katniss POV
As Crucis and I head to the nurses office to clean up Crucis bloody nose, my mind keeps thinking about Peeta. That was the first time I have talked to him in what seems like forever and I yelled at him, which kind of makes me feel bad. Maybe I overreacted a little, but I can't believe what Peeta just did. I've never thought of him as a violent person. I guess I was wrong. Maybe I was wrong about a whole lot of things I knew about Peeta. Is he really the guy I fell for or was that all put on for his little bet?
Once we reach the nurses office Crucis sits down on what looks like the most uncomfortable bed I have ever seen and I sit in the chair next to the bed. The nurse starts fumbling around looking for something to clean up the blood on his face. She finds a clean-ish rag washes it under some water and gives it to Crucis.
"I'm sorry this is the only thing I have at the moment, looks like we are a bit short of some supplies."
"It's better than nothing." I say to her.
"I just have to see the principle for a couple of minutes. Will you be alright here young man?"
"Yeah I'll be fine, thanks." He says to her and she walks out of the room. For a couple of seconds I watch Crucis as he starts to rub the blood off his face, but he is making it even worse.
"Here let me." I say standing up and taking the rag out of his hand and sit down next to him as I start to wipe the blood away. "So I want to know what happened. Why did he punch you? You must have said something to him to make him react like that?"
"Yeah I did, I told him we had sex and you had a great body." He says happily.
"Why would you say that to him?" I say nudging his shoulder with mine. "I don't want lies spreading around the school about us."
"Oh don't worry Katniss, is it really the end of the world if the school did think we had sex? It's not like they don't suspect it already. "
"Yes it is. I hated it when there was rumours going around the school about me and Peeta, I don't want there to be rumours going around about me and you."
"Why not? Then we could be the most talked about couple at school. Everyone will know who we are." He says making me sit back with a confused look on my face.
"What is so important about being the most talked about couple or everyone knowing who you are?"
"For the popularity of course. I want us to be the popular people of the school and I can't do that without you."
"Do you only date me to get attention from the school? Is this all just a popularity contest to you?" I say with anger written all over my face. Not that I cared he was using me, it just makes me wild that he is just so low.
"What? No, of course not." He says not making eye contact with me.
"Look at me when you say that."
"Alright, alright I was only dating you for that reason, but I have always liked you Katniss, it was just convenient you were my ticket to popularity." He says grabbing onto my hands and trying to entwine his fingers with mine, but I let go from his grasp.
"You know what I have put up with your shit for long enough. I let you feel me up, kiss me and call me your girlfriend, you know what since we are sharing secrets here, here is some gossip that the school should know involving you since you want to get attention. I only dated you to make Peeta jealous. I have never wanted you. You are just a jerk like Peeta said you were." I say walking towards the door "Oh and one more thing you are a disgusting, sloppy kisser." I say storming out of the room.
God what I jerk, I knew I should have broken it off a long time ago. Maybe after seeing Peeta brought back feelings of wanting him, making me decide it is time to end it with Crucis. It wasn't fair to do that to Peeta, to make him jealous that I was with another guy. It just made me look as bad as him. I guess we are both as bad as each other. I walk towards the school shed since it's probably the best place to think about everything. When I reach the shed and sit down I think back to all the stuff I did with Crucis, gosh I just feel dirty letting him kiss me and feel me up, I'm just a stupid idiot for ever thinking I should do such a thing. I couldn't stand being with him for one minute longer. I just want Peeta back. I miss Peeta so much, but I don't know if he will want me back anymore. What if he can't be bothered fighting for me anymore since I told him to stay out of my life. I need to talk to him about our future together maybe we can sort everything out.
A couple of minutes later the bell signals my next class. Thank god I only have one more lesson left, I just want to go home and think about what I need to say to Peeta when I see him. Should I go to his house after school? Or should I wait until tomorrow at school? Luckily my class goes by quickly and I head home with Prim.
"So how was your day today little duck?" I say tucking her shirt back into her pants.
"Alright I guess, today we talked about the reaping coming up since all of our class will be in this year, I hope I don't get picked, I'm scared."
"You won't be picked this is only your first year silly." I say stopping and pulling her into a hug. "Don't worry." I say as we start walking back home.
"Come on I'll race you home." She says as she starts sprinting off towards our house. I start running after her but let her win by running slowly. I stop running and decide to walk since she has already beaten me.
Just as I walk alongside my house towards the stairs, I am pulled into a bush and pushed against the house. I am just about to scream when I notice that beautiful blonde hair that I have missed so much. Peeta is right here standing in front of me, what should I say? But before I can say anything his lips meet mine and I can feel the passion in our kiss that I have been aching for. I kiss him back with force, making him see that I too have missed what we used to share. I can't believe I am standing here kissing him right now, but just as I am getting deeper and deeper into our kiss he pulls away.
"This time I'm not leaving without you. I love you Katniss. It hurts me to see you with Crucis. I want you to be with me, I am the guy you are meant to be with. I'm so sorry about the bet. Please give me another chance. I can't live another day without you. You are the love of my life and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"If I did give you another chance how will I know if you are going to be completely honest with me and tell me everything? You can't keep stuff from me because eventually, I will find out."
"I understand and I promise I am going to be one hundred per cent honest with you forever. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. And I know you might not forgive me for what I did to you, but I want to spend the rest of my life making up for it." He says and I pull him into a hug.
"That makes me happy that you say that. I've been thinking as well, I don't want to spend another day without being with you."
"Neither do I. I'm just so, so sorry I made that bet Katniss before I knew you I was just a fucking idiot who was just played girls. If I hadn't have met you I wouldn't be the person I am today. I'm a better person with you in my life, that's why I need to ask you something." He says putting a piece of my hair behind my ear and cupping my face.
"Ok ask me anything" I say giving him a smile.
"Katniss I love you with all my heart and I don't want us to be apart so I wanted to ask if there could be an 'us' again, if we could start dating again?"
"Of course I want to date you again, I want to be your girlfriend." I say giving him a small peck. "I also want to say I'm sorry for yelling at you when you punched Crucis. Deep down I wanted to punch him as well and I don't blame you for punching him for that reason, but we never had sex. I'm still a virgin."
"Really, thank god. I'm so glad you didn't let that jerk get anywhere near you and he didn't tell you the other reason?"
"No, what was other reason?"
"He was the one who made up all those rumours, even the one about you and Gale."
"What? He was the one who made up those rumours? He is going to wish he never opened his sloppy mouth!"
"He said it was all just a ploy to bring you to him, it's all too complicated right now to tell you the full story, but he is the one to blame so I punched him for that as well. So how are you going to tell him that your relationship is over?"
"I already broke it off after you punched him. It looks like he was using me as well as me using him."
"What do you mean you were using him?"
"I was only dating him to make you jealous and to get back at you. I never liked him."
"Well that worked because it made me majorly jealous he could get someone a good as you." He says giving me a gentle kiss on the lips. "You know I got suspended for 3 days for punching that son of a bitch."
"What! Now I'm not going to have a lunch buddy."
"Well I'm sure tomorrow when you confront Crucis about him making up the rumours Madge and Gale will be back sitting with you."
"I doubt it Madge won't believe a word I say."
"Well I will be back after 3 days, but I have to go help my father in the bakery I told them I would be back soon after seeing you."
"I don't know if I can wait until you get back to school to see you again. Can I meet you at your place after school and we can go into the woods to do some hunting?"
"That sounds like a good idea." He says giving me one last passionate kiss before he walks back to his house.
Wow in about a two hour time period I have ended a relationship with one person then rekindled one with another. But I don't care because I'm back with Peeta. I'm just glad to have him back. It felt like it was a bit fast but I didn't want to go another day without him. I'm also glad I'm not with Crucis anymore, I know I'm going to have fun tomorrow going off at him. I can't believe the culprit for the rumours was right under my nose the whole time. Payback is a bitch Crucis Naysmith.
What did you think, it kinda felt a little fast to go into a relationship straight away, but its not like they havent dated before and there are still feelings for each other there so yeah. Next chapter will be up in 3-4 days :D
