I have been thinking long and hard about how Haymitch could make it up to Peeta and Katniss, but I still don't have anything that would really make them forgive him. So if anyone has any ideas, let me know!

Chapter 15 – Katniss's POV

Peeta took me to his car. Haymitch humiliated us. I don't know if I can ever show my face at this school ever again. By now, everyone will know. "Peeta?" He left the car. I saw him talking to Haymitch. How could he talk to him without hurting him? "Peeta?" I yelled louder. He turned around.

"One moment." He mouthed. They continued talking. Then he opened the door and helped me out.

"Katniss, I'm so sor-" He tried to say. I slapped him across the face. "I know I deserved that, and probably more. What can I do to make it up?" I slapped him again. "Katniss, I'm still your teacher."

"Yeah, and you shouldn't have known in the first place!" I raised my hand to hit him again, but Peeta held me back. "Go back in time and tell yourself to shut the fuck up!"

"Now Katniss, Haymitch said he would do anything to make it up to us."

I gave them both long, hard stares. "Well I don't want to go back in there until you clear it up with the class and make sure it doesn't go any further."

"Agreed."

"I'll be sure you do that." Peeta said. I saw his face get less red.

"Come on, I'll think of something on the way back to class."

"I'm not going back there!" I was yelling now. "Everyone is going to talk about it!" I got back in the car. "Peeta, drive me home. Now." He got in the car and we took off. Haymitch just stood in the same spot.

"Katniss, we should never have told him."

"I know. Now we can't go back to school for the rest of the week."

"No, we have to. Otherwise it will spread and rumors will start."

"Then where are we going?"

"On a little drive. I'll get us back in time for the next class." I groaned and sunk down in my seat.

We got to the supermarket where we first talked to Haymitch. "I'm going to stay in the car." I informed him.

"I was going to ask you to stay anyway." He closed the door and walked in with his hands in his pockets. After a few minutes, he came out with a bag. "What's in there?"

"You'll find out later. Now let's go back to choir and clear things up." We got back to the school with ten minutes left in choir. When we walked through the door, people whispered. Haymitch was chugging down a bottle of beer, and then collapsed on his desk. "Everyone just shut up!"

"Hey Katniss, are you pregnant?" A voice from the back of the room.

"No." Peeta answered for me.

"Peeta is she really dirty?"

"Shut up!" He yelled louder. They stopped and paid attention. "We didn't have sex! Okay? Haymitch was telling us about a time when he did it." Peeta lied. Haymitch stood up at the sound of his name.

"Why did you run out like that?"

I spoke up. "We thought you guys thought we were talking about us, so I ran out and Peeta followed me."

"Haymitch, is that true?"

"What, oh, yeah. The girl I was with brought her parents to dinner and they talked about when she was conceived." Thank God he caught on. There were a few laughs from the room.

"Glad that's cleared up." Peeta said to everyone. Then the bell rang and everyone left, except for one girl.

"Hey guys, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding." It was the waitress from IHOP, Johanna. "I really thought it was you two, but then I realized it's like the third day of school and," she pointed to me and Peeta. "Are you sure you didn't do it?"

Peeta looked at me. "Johanna, walk with us." She did. I continued. "You can't tell anyone."

"Oh my God, you two really did it?"

"Shh!" Peeta looked around. He made sure there was nobody around. "Yes, but you can't tell anybody."

"Don't worry! I won't!" She looked at me. "Katniss, with a guy like Peeta, I'd be surprised if you didn't."

"I don't know how to take that."

"Don't worry Peeta, I have a boyfriend, and I can tell that you really love Katniss."

In the hallway, people didn't pay attention to us. Perfect. Other than the morning, the rest of the day was uneventful. After school, someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around. "So I hear you two hooked up last night."

"Where did you hear that?" Peeta and I turned around after he said that.

"My girlfriend told me."

I looked him up and down. His arms were crossed. "Gale?"

This wasn't a really good chapter, and it was shorter compared to the last couple chapters. I just needed to get some stuff out of the way. I will update more today once I get hit by some inspiration. Review!

oh and, I don't care if you hate this chapter, I sort of hate it too. the next one should be better. but the one after that, oh, you may be in for treat!
