Thanks for guessing, those of you who did! But actually Azalea didn't write the last chapter... I did! Surprised? X) Anyway this chapter is written by Azalea. Please review!

xXx

Luckily, my mom was in a good mood yesterday, so she only started ranting a little bit about how incompetent I am when she saw the mess that Katniss and I made.

Katniss.

I find myself smiling as my mind replays all of what happened yesterday. It's so good to have her back; I haven't had that much fun in a long time. Still, I can't help but wonder what she was going to say before my mother walked in.

"Hey, Peeta," Finnick calls.

"Hey," I reply, barely paying attention.

We walk together to the tree where we always meet. When I look, I see that Madge and Gale are already there, but I only manage to get a glimpse of them before Finnick pulls me back.

"We should probably give them a minute," he suggests.

"What?" I ask. "Why?"

"Madge didn't tell you?" I shake my head. "She told me that she was going to tell Gale that she likes him today. That's probably what they're doing right now."

I look back, and I see that he's probably right since Gale's eyes are wide and Madge's cheeks- more like her entire face- are red.

"Finnick!"

I turn around and see Annie rushing towards us. She stops short when she sees what we were looking at.

"Did she do it?" she asks hopefully.

"Looks that way," he says, putting an arm around Annie's shoulders.

"Oh, come on, Gale!" she mutters to herself. "Say something, you moron!"

I chuckle quietly as I turn my attention back to Madge and Gale. Just as Gale is about to say something, Madge shakes her head and starts talking again. We watch in confusion as she stands up and scurries away. Annie groans and runs over to Gale, closely followed by Finnick and me.

"What happened?" she asks.

"She... likes me," he says slowly as if he doesn't even believe it.

"I know that," Annie huffs. "But-"

"Wait," he cuts in. "You guys knew?"

"Yeah, yeah, we're sorry we didn't tell you and all that jazz," she says. "Look, just tell us what happened."

"Fine," he sighs. "I just didn't really know what to say at first, but then she got all embarrassed and she just said 'never mind' and ran away!"

"Never mind?" Annie repeats. "Are you kidding me?"

"Annie, now is not the time," Finnick cuts in. "Maybe in a year or two, Madge will look back on this and laugh... but definitely not now."

"Try five years," I say. "And even then, be careful."

"Hey, guys," Delly greets as she walks toward us. "Is there a reason why Madge is crying and yelling at Katniss in the girls' bathroom?"

"Yup," Annie says without further explanation.

"I'll go get them," I offer.

Nobody stops me as I cross the campus and head in the direction of the girls' bathroom. When I get there, I stand awkwardly for a few seconds before I finally decide to knock on the door.

"Katniss?" I call. "Madge?"

I jump back as the door swings open, but I calm down when I see that it's just Katniss. She smiles a little bit, and my heart skips a beat... Probably because this is a nerve-racking situation...

"Is she all right?" I ask.

"She's fine," Katniss replies. "She just needs a minute alone."

I nod as she picks up her bag and walks out of the bathroom. We both stand across the hallway from the bathroom so that we'll be able to see Madge when she comes out. I look over at Katniss, and for some reason, I can't help but stare.

"You look really pretty," I say without thinking.

Her cheeks turn light pink, and I smile at the sight. I can't help it! She looks so adorable like that...

Did I really just think that?

"Thanks," she says. "Prim did my hair today."

"It looks nice," I say, tugging lightly on the tips of her hair.

"Thanks," she repeats, turning her face away a little.

Then, I remember that Katniss doesn't really like to be touched that much, so I put my hands bag in my pockets.

"Do you think you could wait for Madge alone?" she asks suddenly.

"Yeah, sure," I say.

"Okay," she says. "Then I'll see you later."

She picks up her bag and walks away before I even get the chance to say "goodbye".

KPOV

You look really pretty.

I can't seem to get these words out of my mind. They're driving me insane. I just want it to stop. After all, he didn't mean it in that way, did he? He couldn't have.

Anyway, the last person that called me pretty was...

Dad.

I squeeze my eyes shut for a second and shake my head to stop thinking about it as I continue on my way to the tree. When I get there, I see Annie glaring at Gale and Finnick sitting at her side.

"Hey, guys," I call.

"Hey," Finnick replies, as he's the only one that seems calm. "Sorry Madge freaked out on you."

"It's all right," I shrug, sitting down next to him.

"Why couldn't you just say something?" Annie sighs, never looking away from Gale.

"I didn't know what to say!" Gale says defensively.

"Well, you know now, so go and fix it!" she snaps.

"I don't-"

"Now!" she cuts in.

"Fine," he sighs, standing up and walking toward the bathroom.

I smile a little as Annie grins triumphantly. Finnick notices and chuckles.

"That's my girl," he says, patting her head.

Her smile widens, and she pecks his cheek. I feel a slight twinge of jealousy, but I don't know why. I try to ignore it.
