Later that night, as the opening celebration theres a ball. Everyones looking fancy. I wear your typical black tuxedo. Katniss walks out in a plain red dress. You can tell that Cinna did not design this because It dosen't have his touch. Gale follows in a tux like mine with a red bowtie. For no reason jealousy fills me up in me as I stare at Katniss. "You staring at something Mellark?" Gale questions. I feel the urge to punch him, but then I remember her. The smiling, beautiful, mystery girl. My punching urge goes away. "No." I finally respond. Him and Katniss walk away giggling and staring at me like teenage girls. I roll my eyes, and head downstairs.

I sit and greet Capitol people, make small talk, and laugh at their shallow jokes. Music fills the room, and everyone grabs partners. I watch Gale and Katniss glide across the floor, but I catch a glimpse of her. My mystery girl is standing in the corner looking at me. She looks divine. She sports a gold dress with a sparkly design as her curled hair falls perfectly to her shoulders. Without thinking, I make my way towards her. I look deep in her eyes and say "Would you like to dance?" She looks surprised but agrees with a smile.
"I should probably introduce myself." I say.
"Oh no!" she says " I know exactly who you are, Peeta Mellark, and I'm Alyson Paylor." "As in the President?" I say my eyes widening in disbelief. "Yep, I'm her daughter." she says nonchalantly. We dance, talk, and laugh all night. I haven't had so much fun in months. As everyone begins to leave, I look in her eyes. "I'll see you tomorrow at the banquet." I say happily. She nods grabs me by the bowtie and kisses me right on the lips. I smile and we say our goodbyes. As I turn around, I see Katniss, and then realization hits she saw EVERYTHING. I walk back to my room. Happily.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Heres what Katniss and Alysons dresses look like. I don't know if you care just wanted to share my mental image.
