Peeta POV

I was at my locker talking to Katniss about her little sister Prim. Prim apparently likes Gale's little brother Rory and so Katniss doesn't know what to do about it.

I smiled and said "Well, maybe you should tell Gale and then you guys can set them up." "I suppose." is what she said. She looked at the clock and said "I better get going." then she left.

I headed to my locker and grabbed my health book for health class. I shut my locker door and saw Cato and Clove with bruises and looking dazed….especially Clove. She had an ice pack to her head and bruises and Cato just had a lot of bruises.

Clove grabbed my book and started ripping it while Cato grabbed my shirt and pulled me out behind the school.

They threw me to the ground and started punching, and kicking me. I tried to get up, but Cato just slammed me to the ground again. My vision was terrible but I saw them leave letting my lay here almost unconscious. After three hours I heard someone out in the distance calling my name.

Then someone was running toward me. I couldn't tell who it was because my vision was blurry, but when they came more closer I realized it was Katniss.

She knelt down by me and looked me over and murmured "Oh my god Peeta!" My head felt like it was laying in a ton of nails, my nose was bleeding, I probably had bruises everywhere, and my right leg hurt very bad.

I tried standing up with my left leg but almost fell if Katniss hadn't caught me. I put my arm around her neck and she put her arm around my waist and we walked to the school.

She sat me on a bench and quickly went somewhere.

She came back with a towel, ice pack, tissue, and a bandage.

She gave me the tissue and I started wiping my nose while she wrapped my leg. After my nose stopped bleeding she wrapped the ice pack in the towel and held it to my head while I told her that Cato and Clove beat me up and because of yesterday. She looked me in the eyes and said "What happened yesterday?" I told her everything that happened. "That was nice of you to stand up for Foxface." she said half smiling. "Yeah." I said. "But she probably is going to get beaten up or she already did." Katniss's mood changed and looked a little worried. "I heard Rue and Prim talking and Rue said that she hated her first class because her good partner, Foxface was gone." she said. I sighed wishing Cato and Clove wouldn't be such idiots.

I swear on the River Styx ;) that after this the chapters will be longer! Review!
