Chapter 23- Change of Plans

Katniss POV-

I gasped and my hand flew to cover my mouth as Peeta looked at me. Surprise registered on his face, he pushed Cashmere off him, who seemed to be smirking, and said, "Katniss! Please listen to me; it's not what it looks like!"

I just ignored him and ran from the room.

Once I made it to my dorm, I burst in the door and fell in a heap of sadness upon my bed. Across the room, Madge was shocked at the sight, closed the door, and rushed to my side.

"Katniss! What happened!?" She pestered.

"I-I w-went to Peeta's- and f-found him k-kis-kissing C-Cash-mere." I stuttered between sobs.

Madge took a sharp intake of breath, just before we heard a rapping sound on the door.

Madge POV-

I swiveled my head towards the door, then got up and started heading towards it. I caustiously opened the door, and found the one person neither Katniss or I wanted to talk to.

"What do you want, Peeta?" I said in annoyance.

He looked like he was out of breath, as if he ran the whole way here, which he probably did. "Please let me speak to Katniss, Madge. I need a chance to explain myself to her." He was practically begging to me.

"I'm sorry, I don't think she wants to talk you right now." I replied solemnly.

I saw a tear run down his cheek, and he ran his hands through his hair, turning in a circle. "Please Madge. I am begging you. Let me speak to Katniss!"

I did feel somewhat bad for him, but not enough to give in. "I'm sorry Peeta." I stated sadly, closing the door.

Peeta POV-

Madge closed the door, leaving me standing there, alone.

I turned around and slammed my fist against the wall, then walked back to my dorm, with some people staring at me.

Random Perosn's POV- (This part is just for laughs lol I couldn't resist.)

As I was making out with my boyfriend, I suddenly heard a thump on one of my walls, as if someone was slamming their fist against it. I looked back up to my boyfriend and we both blushed.

Peeta POV-

I threw open my door and slammed it shut, then fell face first onto my bed, groaning. Finnick, who was playing 'Halo' on the other side of the room, paused his game and made his way over to me.

"Well, you don't look good Bread Boy." Obviously he was trying to cheer me up, and it usually works, but not this time. Nothing , but Katniss could make me feel better. But that's not going to happen now.

"What the hell happened to you, mate?" Finn questioned.

I decided it was a god idea to him.

After I finished, Finnick looked at me and said, "Wow, you're screwed man."

"Gee, that sure helps." I muttered.

"Don't worry, you'll figure something out."

The next day in History class, I took my assigned seat beside... Katniss. Great. As I sat down, I was just about to say something, when I saw a tear roll down her face and she turned away, talking to the other person beside her.

I slumped forward in my chair, and put my face in my heads, hoping this dreaded class would be over soon.

As the teacher entered the room he announced, "We will be starting a partner project today!" Everyone started to whisper to one another, asking to be partners, when our teacher continued, "That I have already picked for you." Everyone groaned.

"Glimmer and Finnick!" They looked to one another and smiled.

"Thresh and Clove!"

"Madge and Cato!" I saw Katniss' face light up at this.

"Olivia and Gale!"

"Beetee and Johanna!"

"Marvel and Cashmere!" I saw Marvel go wide eyed.

"Annie and Maverick!" Maverick was our other new student.

"Peeta and Katniss!" I quickly glanced at Katniss, and noticed her pale face along with her wide eyes.

Madge quickly rushed up to the teacher and whispered something in his ear. I saw him glance at me every few seconds, then Madge sat back in her seat. "Change of plans. Peeta will be with Glimmer and Finnick will be with Katniss." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Katniss breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing, Katniss, who is technically still my girlfriend, react like this to being my partner for a stupid project, makes me feel even worse by the second.

I skipped my next class, and just went up to my dorm. As I entered the room, I flopped down on my bed and started bawling my eyes out. I'm a 'fountain' as some may call it, at the moment. I have tears running down my face non-stop, and I'm hiccuping .

After, what I'm guessing to be an hour or two, my stomach grumbled and I looked at the clock to see it was lunch. I quickly wiped away my fresh and old tears, then headed to the Cafeteria.

I had to think of a plan.

I know! I know! Why so short!? I just thought it was a good place to end it, and I knew you guys really wanted another chapter out, so here it was! lol Hope you enjoyed, don't worry there WILL be a happy ending! You can count on that!
