Chapter 3

(Katniss POV)

Johanna, Clove, Foxface and I are working on our secret performance for the welcoming program on Friday. Today is Wednesday and we asked Mr. Snow if we can have the day-off from school to form our own dance moves. He happily agreed. I think our group are having suspicions but they don't show it. They know that if we want to share we will share it.

"How about Part of Me by Katy Perry?" suggests Clove.

"That could work." I said

"Let's listen to it." Foxface says while going to my iHome.

We listen to the song and we think it is the one since it is easy to dance with.

"Right. Now let's have the moves." I told the girls.

We spend the whole afternoon coming up with the perfect routine. We showed it to my family since we need someone to approve our dance.

"Wow! You're really good!" Prim says. Mom and Dad nod in agreement.

"Thanks! So is it ok?" I ask them

"More than ok sweetie." Mom says while hugging me.

"Hey Kitty-Kat, Ms. Weirdo said that you need to sing the song." Johanna said.

I look at her wide eyes.

"What?!"

"Yeah, she just called me." Johanna smirks.

"No way am I singing. I agreed to dance not sing in front of the whole school!"

"Oh come on Kat. You'll do great!" Dad encourages me.

"Fine."

Jo and Clove high five each other.

Thursday go by in whirl. And now it's Friday. I am really nervous about this thing. Mom and Dad said I'll do great. I hope so, I think.

Prim insisted that she'll pick our costumes for the dance. I told her not too revealing she just said that I have to relax and loosen up a bit. I just roll my eyes at her.

She made us wear tank tops that are decorated with sequences. Mine is silver, Jo is orange, Clove is red and Foxface is green. We wore it with white cut-off shorts that the pockets are showing and our Zoo York shoes.

We are now waiting at the backstage waiting for our turn since we are the last part of the program. All of the girls know about this idea except for the guys. Right now some teacher is explaining about the new varsity teams. We can see that the auditorium is really crowded and almost half of the students are sleeping.

"Thank you Ms. Cecelia. Now I know that all of you are bored so we prepared some special number for you." Some of the students whisper of what it is. Some still looks bored. We can see the girls giving us thumbs up. We smile at them.

"Let's do this." I told them.

"Alright, you'll do great Kitty-Kat." Foxface assures me before they go to their places. I turn on the mike attached to me. And wait for the music to start.

"May I now present to you Katniss Everdeen, Clove Anderson, Johanna Youth and Grace Philips!"

The music starts and the girls make their way to the stage. I wait for my cue and then I start.

Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade

I walk towards the center of the stage. I try to pretend my family watching me.

You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

I start to lose my nervousness. I scan the crowd for my friends and I lock eyes with the deep blue eyes of Peeta Mellark.

This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul

He smiles at me and surprisingly I smile back.

This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me

I do all our dance routines smoothly and perfectly.

You ripped me off, your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep, you let me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

Almost half of the students are singing and dancing with us.

This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

We slow down a bit. I pattern my breathing and the girls all point at me so I can have this verse. I dance with the music.

Now look at me I'm sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won't ever put me out again
I'm glowin', oh whoa
So you can keep the diamond ring
I never liked it anyway
In fact you can keep everything yeah, yeah
Except for me

All people are now dancing and singing with us.

This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul

We all jump up and down, singing and clearly having fun and just being ourselves.

This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

This is the part of me
No
Away from me
No
This is the part of me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me…
No
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

We finish our dance with a pose I am in the middle, head held high. My hands raised up and the other at my hip. The other girls are at either side of me.

The whole auditorium erupts into applause and we laugh and hug each other. Mr. Cinna comes up to the stage.

"Let's give it up for Katniss, Johanna, Clove and Grace! That's all for today my dear students you may now go."

They all cheer for us and we climb down the stage towards our group of friends. While walking there everyone claps for us and comments about the song.

Annie spots us and rushes to us.

"You did great guys!"

"Thanks An."

The guys came up to us and we all high five each other. Peeta looks at me and I just wink at him causing him to blush a bit. He is so damn cute. The guys notice this and they all laugh with me. We gather our things and go out the auditorium.

"Hey you wanna grab some pizza?" Cato asks us.

We all nod in agreement.

"I'll just grab my things." Madge says

"Yup me too." Finnick says.

"How about you go get your stuff and we'll wait in front of the school." I suggest

"Yeah sure"

Peeta and I walk there and I just realized that:

I. Am. . Peeta Mellark.

Just great...
