So I hope you all enjoyed the extra long Halloween chapter!

If any of you out there like the TV show 'Merlin', I would suggest reading, "Sigan Won" by weir'wyvern-85. It's REALLY good. It's one of my fav Merlin stories.

Congratulations to CanadianBoy98 for being my 300th reviewer! Here's a virtual cookie! (::)

Anyways, I'm sure you are all anxious to read the new chapter! So I'll stop blabbering and let you enjoy!


Chapter 22- Dead in My Tracks

Katniss POV-

I woke up to something soft and fuzzy being thrown at my face. Chucking the pillow back at the direction it came from and rolled over, moaning.

I heard a sigh, and then Madge yelled, "Katniss, get you lazy ass out of bed, your boyfriend is here!" I heard a low laugh come from somewhere else in the room, but I just waved her off, burring my face in my pillow.

"Oh my god Katniss. Get. Up!" Madge said, yanking my covers off of me.

I groggily sat up, rubbing my eyes, and muttered, "What's your issue? It's Sunday morning..."

"Ugh, you can deal with her," Madge said to someone, and I heard the door slam. I just lay back down, keeping my eyes closed.

It was quiet for about a minute. then I felt someone sit next to me on my bed. They brushed my hair out of my eyes, kissed my forehead, and said softly, "Katniss, come on."

I smiled knowing who it was a opened my eyes to see Peeta above me, looking down.

"Hey," I said.

"Hey," He replied smiling.

I pushed myself up, and Peeta stood up, grabbing my hand, and pulling me along with him. He smiled at me once more, and said, "I'll be waiting outside."

Once he left and closed the door behind him, I made my way over to my closet. I picked out a pair of black sweat pants, a forest green tank top, and a brown sweater. I mean, come on. It's Sunday, a.k.a., Katniss' lazy day. While I got changed, I remembered the events from early this morning.

-Flashback-

Once we reached our dorm, Madge slammed the door and said, "I like Cato."

My mouth dropped to the floor. "YOU WHAT!?" I screamed, jumping up and down with happiness.

She gave me a look and said, "Close your mouth, you'll catch flies."

I obeyed, but still stared at Madge.

Madge looked at me and waited for me to calm down. I took a deep breath.

"How did this happen?" I asked as calmly as I could.

Madge smiled, well we sat together during the horror movie and I dug my head into his chest at the really scary parts. Then we went into the haunted House together, and he held my hand because I was really scared, and... well it just... happened."

"I'm so happy for you Madge!" I shrieked and hugged her.

-End of Flashback-

I shook my head and smiled, hoping everything will turn out fine for Madge. But if he breaks Madge's heart, I'll personally see to it that he is broken.

I made my way to the door and walked out, finding Peeta resting against the wall. He smiled at the sight of me and came over to give me a kiss. After I pulled back, he wrapped his arms around me, and I rested my head on his chest. We started to walk down the hall and I asked, "So where are we going today?"

Smirking, Peeta replied, "It's a surprise baby."

Huffing in annoyance I complained, "You know I hate surprises!"

"That's the point," he chuckled.

"Hmph," was all I said in response.


After about ten more minutes, we reached the pool.

Stopping, I turned to Peeta curiously. "But I have no swim suit."

Faking confusion, Peeta said, "Didn't I tell you to put one on when you went to change?"

"Noo..." I muttered, slowly backing away.

"Well I guess you're going in clothed!" He yelled, threw me over his shoulder and headed to the pool.

"Peeta!" I screamed. "Not again!"

I felt the coldness of the pool wash over me, and immediately swam to the surface. Glaring at my boyfriend, I said, "Oh you are so going to get it."

I paddled over to him, grabbed his feet and yanked him in, when suddenly I heard talking. Curiously I peered towards the entrance and found that Finn, Annie, Marvel, Clove, Beetee, Thresh, Johanna, Cato, Gale, Olivia, Glimmer and Madge appeared along with swim suits, towels and pool toys.

"Hey guys!" I yelled, waving to them.

"Hey Katniss! Hey Peeta!" They replied in unison... once again.

"POOL PARTY!" Finnick yelled, and turned the music on loud. They all screamed and jumped in the pool.

I quickly got out of the out-of-control pool, and changed into a bikini that the girls brought for me. Thankfully it was mine this time. It was a forest green bikini top that ties around the neck and a white short shorts. Then, I sat on a lounge chair and decided to get a tan. I plugged my ear buds in and turned on my favourite band, One Direction. After a couple minutes, my sun was blocked. I slowly opened my eyes to find Peeta and Finnick standing above me... smirking. Oh jeez...

'H-hey guys. Could you move over?" I stated, but they just came closer. Peeta grabbed my arms, and Finnick grabbed my legs. I screamed and struggled against them, but nothing seemed to work. Eventually, they made it over to the edge of the pool with much difficulty, for I was continuously thrashing around.

My fight seemed to not work, and just as they were about to throw me in the pool, they turned around. Confused, I suddenly stopped thrashing, and looked sceptically at Finncik since he was the one holding my legs. Then they quickly turned back around and tossed me in.

How could I be so stupid and fall for their trick!? I thought to myself.


After about six hours of our 'pool party', Madge and I headed back to our dorm for some peace and quiet. Once we got back, I played One Direction quietly in the background and sat on my bed, reading 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'. After a chapter or two, I heard a knock on the door. Putting my book down, I walked over to the door and found Gloss standing there with a devilish smirk.

"Ugh, what do you want Gloss?" I questioned.

"Oh, uh, I passed Peeta in the hall and he said he wanted to see you at his dorm." Gloss replied, still smirking.

"Okay. Thanks." I said, and walked out the door, leaving Madge.

Once I reached Peeta's dorm, I opened the door and walked in. Stopping dead in my tracks, my jaw dropped, and my bag fell to the floor. For there, up against the wall, was Peeta... kissing Cashmere.

I only felt one thing at the moment, betrayal.

NOOOO! Why would he do such a thing!? Leave me your thoughts on the situation! I'd love to know what you guys think! Thanks!
