I wake up and remember everything that happened yesterday. The picture of me, the whispering and laughs in the hall. But I remember that yesterday was the first time Peeta and I said I love you. The thought brings a big smile to my face. I better get dressed. I don't want to go to school but I have to.

It feels so nice to dress like myself and not wear too much makeup. I go down stairs to the kitchen to find Peeta serving cereal in two bowls.
"Good morning" I chirp, he turns around and smiles.
"Good morning" he comes over and kisses my cheek.
We eat breakfast, and then walk to school hand in hand.
"Katniss" he calls
"Yeah?" I turn around to face him.
"Well would you like to go on another one of those things..." he smiles nervously, I know exactly what he means.
"I would love to go on another date , Peeta." I smile and peck his lips.
"Great I'll meet you downstairs at 7" he says and I laugh a bit.
"Great." I smile back and we begin walking again.
We get to school and the place is dead silent, you could hear a pin drop. This is really awkward. Then all of a sudden someone calls out,
"Slut!" It's hard to tell who though.
"It's Mr. Bookworm and Mrs. Slut, what a cute couple." Someone else yells.
"Whore!" Another's person shouts. I can feel tears streaming down my face and I just run. I can hear Peeta chasing after me but I don't stop running.
I stop once I'm in the janitors closet. I see the door open thank God it's only Peeta. He doesn't say anything he just hugs me.
"Shhh, it's ok, I'm right here, your fine." He coos, I sob into his chest.
"I'm so sorry," I sob, "That they're calling you things because of me."
"Shh, it's not your fault. I'm used to being picked on." He smiles sadly.
"And I'm so sorry for that." This makes me cry even more, knowing that Peeta has been getting called names since elementary school. It breaks my heart.
"It wasn't just you, and it's ok that's in the past" he tries to comfort me.
"No, it's not, it's still happening. And I'm so sorry."
"Hey, it's all worth it if I get to be with the girl of my dreams." He wipes a tear from my face with his thumb. This makes me smile slightly.
"There's that beautiful smile" he says. I laugh a little.
"Thank you Peeta for everything." I thank him.
"It's no problem now let's get to class, we don't want to be late." I nod and we open the door. There are tons of kids outside the janitors closet. Glimmer speaks up.
"Looks like someone just got fucked in a janitors closet!" She tells everyone.
"Just ignore them" Peeta whispers in my ear, I nod and we head to class.
The rest of the day is horrible. I get called names and Peeta does too, but at least I can go home and get ready for our date.
