Bad Boy Vs Good Girl

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

As the final bell rings i pack up all of my stuff and walk out to the front of the school and i wait for Peeta because he still hasn't shown up yet. As i look around i notice Delly and the ditsys walking over to me.

"Hey Katniss,"

"Uhh, hey Delly,"

"Oh, dont be so unsure about talking to us, we just want to.... Chat," Delly says moving her eyes up and down me judgementally.

"Uhm, ok what do you want to chat about then?"

"Stay away from Peeta, he's mine ok? We all know that your just trying to get in his pants. We know why you moved schools last year, and we are gladly capable of spreading it around,"

"Well maybe you should spread something else other then your legs every once in a while, oh and i don't care if you spread it around it just proves that it wasn't my fault. So please don't talk to me and step away i don't want your 'slutty disease' on me."

They all gasp at my sudden comeback,

"Watch your back Everdeen. Your life just got made into a living hell, be prepared, baby primrose?" I freeze,

"Don't ever say that damn name, you don't know anything about me, or that name. So just leave me alone."

"Please, its only the beginning, bye Katpiss" she walks off,

I see Peeta walking over to me smiling, i put on a fake smile when he gets closer,

"Katniss!" He calls over everybody,

"Oh hey baby Peeta"
He looks at me questionably,

"Whats wrong?" I let a tear fall down my face but quickly wipe it away,

"Ok, we will go to your house and we will talk about it then ok?"
I nod my head not wanting to bring up the subject here at school, especially with people around.

When we arrive at my house we go up to my room and i crash on my bad, sobs start rattling my body, if i was a skeleton you would hear me from miles away.
Peeta walks over sits on the edge of the bed and rubs my back soothingly attempting to calm me down,

"Hey Katniss, do you wanna talk about it?" I shake my head not wanting to talk about it now.

He sighs,

"Your'e gonna have to tell me sooner or later, better sooner then later right?"

I roll over and stare at the roof after all my tears have escaped.

"Ok, now tell me whats wrong?"

"Its nothing its just... Delly and the ditsys..."

"Didn't we say not to talk to them?"

"Well yeah but... Ya know what ill just tell you what happened?"
So i did, from the moment they walked up to me to the moment they walked away.

When i finished explaining he sighs,

"Katniss, your in real deep shit now..."

"Jeez, thanks for the encouragement Peeta! Your so great you could be a therapist telling people what they don't want to hear!"

"Katniss, i wasn't meaning it like that..."

"Your right i, sorry ok, its just i haven't had anybody to talk to and now that i do i just,..." I sigh not wanting to finish that sentence.

"What? What were you going to say Katniss?"
I shake my head and roll over stuffing my face into my pillow.

"Katniss please, I'm dying over here please tell me!?"

"Fine, and now that i do have someone to talk to i don't wanna let them go i just want them to stay. Everyone in my life leaves eventually and it wont be long till you do too..."

"Katniss i will never leave you, wanna know why?"

"Why?"

"Because, im exactly like you. I don't have anyone to talk to anymore, but now that your here i feel like i can talk to you."

"What do you mean to talk to anymore...?"

"Well, you know the Kentucky bombing a couple years ago?"
I nod my head
"Well my family, we were at the bakery like a normal day and the next thing you know planes are flying over us and they.." He stops and closes his eyes as if reliving the memory.
I rub his back to show support.
"And they dropped the bombs, no one in my family survived but me, i had burns and all but my family they actually died you know? And ever since then i haven't let anybody in because if i do they'll leave just as easily as they came.

"Peeta I'm really sorry to hear that, but you know i don't have any family left either, "

"You don't?" He looks up at me,

"No when i was eleven me my dad and my baby sister primrose, we were driving and a car ran straight into us, my sister died straight on contact bur my dad... Went into surgery and died of loos loss... But my mother, shes still alive, but shes jot here, wont get a job, wont eat, sleep do anything its like shes a ghost. And honestly sometimes i think she is. She cant even say a full sentence anymore without stuttering."

"See Peeta, we are im this together, one way" i grab his hand and hold it gently "or another" he squeezes it and he looks up at me and smiles,

"Always?" He asks,

"Always." We smile.

Finally something to be happy about. And for once in my life, my dream about being happy with someone else cam true too.
