Hi everybody! So this is the first story I've ever written (outside of school), so if it turns out terrible, that's why. Some people are a little bit OOC, sorry! Anyway, please comment and tell me what you thought, or how I can make the story better.

JOHANNA POV

I really don't want to go to this party, I thought to myself. It sounds like it's going to be incredibly stupid. Actually, since Katniss is throwing it, I know it's going to be stupid.

As I walked towards the house, I saw a large group of people standing on the front steps, including Finnick, Annie, Katniss' really hot cousin whose name is Gabe or Gale or something, Cashmere, Gloss, Beetee, and Wiress. There are a few others who I don't know. I decided see what was going on.

"Why are all of you standing on the steps? And aren't half of you supposed to be dead?" I yelled as I approached them.

"We decided to come back to Earth for the party," said a smallish girl with dark hair, who I think was a tribute in the 74th Hunger Games. She was from District 2, if I remember correctly. "Just because we're dead doesn't mean we don't like parties!"

"Yeah," Cashmere chimed in. "What's the point of having hair this shiny and voluminous if you can't show it off?" Gloss nodded in agreement.

"And we're standing on the steps because we're locked out, obviously,"
snaps the cousin.

"Why did Katniss invite you, anyway?" I asked. "What kind of a loser invites their cousin to a party?"

"I'm not her cousin," responded her cousin. "We're best friends, not cousins!"

"No, you're definitely cousins," some Capitol woman said.

Wait, hold up. Some Capitol woman does NOT belong here! We can't trash talk the Capitol if some Capitol woman is here! And then we can't play the new amazing game I came up with! The Capitol would definitely not approve of the game. Something must be done. But, unfortunately, someone did it before I could.

"Who the hell are you, and what are you doing here?" demanded Cato, the other District 2 tribute from the 74th Hunger Games.

"I'm Effie, the District 12 escort! Katniss invited me. We're very close friends, you know. Surely you've heard of me," she said, as she smiled brightly.

We all looked around at each other and after a few minutes of extremely confused glances, Annie, of all people, finally spoke up and said, "I'm pretty sure no one here has ever heard of you."

Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the direction of the house. Katniss opened up the door, wearing a very ugly shirt and some jeans.

"Hi, everybody!" she said. "Come on in!"

"About time!" exclaimed the District 2 girl, who I think might be named Clove. "We've been waiting out there for half an hour!"

"I hate your shirt," I told Katniss casually as I shoved past her. She looked disappointed, as if she had spent a long time picking it out. I smiled, then froze at the sight of a lot of chairs arranged in a circle, all facing outward, and a boom box. Katniss was going to make us play Musical Chairs?!
