Chapter 7
Days go by and now it's Wednesday. We're on our way to the cafeteria for lunch. We officially have our own group, the victors. They say that we are the most popular group of friends in our school. But, I don't really care. As long as we're good, it's fine with me.
"Hey guys, where's Madge?" I ask them since Madge is usually with us on our way to the cafeteria.
"She said that she has some meeting for some show or something." Gale informs me.
"Oh, ok."
We sit in our usual table and we eat our lunch. While we're eating, Madge came bustling to our table with an excited face.
"Whoa Madge, what's the rush?"
We all turn to her.
"Mr. Cinna assigned me that I will play the violin on his show." she squeals in excitement.
"That's great Madge!"
"What show?" Cato asks.
"I think it's a charity show and I get a solo. Or I can get a singer to sing it for me." and then she looks at me. And they all turn their heads to me.
"What?! Me?! No way!" I shake my head no.
"Oh come on Kitty-Kat! You're a great singer!"
"Yeah, but what if I screw up."
"You already performed during the program before. This one is as easy as 1,2,3."
"Please Kat, for me." Peeta begs me with his puppy-dog eyes. How the hell am I gonna say no to that look. It's so adorable!
"Fine, you all win." I groan.
They laugh and they high-five Peeta.
"I knew bread boy could make you do it."
"Shut up Gale if you want me to do it and if you don't want me to embarrass you again." that shut him up.
"Okay, so what song?"
"I still don't know. Want to practice?"
"Now?"
She nods. I look at my watch and see that we still have 30 minutes before lunch is over.
"Fine. Guys, pick a song with a violin."
"How about 'Call Me Maybe'?" Clove suggests
"You know that Madge?" she nods and grabs her violin. Thresh grabs his drumsticks.
"Ready?" I nod. Madge and Thresh begin to play. At this moment, we are starting to gain some attention from the other students but we really don't give a damn on what they think. They all turn to me as I begin to sing.
I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
Right now, almost everyone is looking at me. Clove, Johanna, and Foxface all stand on the table and dance. Peeta looks at me smiling and I smile back at him.
I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showing
Hot night, wind was blowing
Where you think you're going, baby?
Now, everyone in the whole cafeteria looks at me and some of them are dancing too or singing with me.
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
It's hard to look right, at you baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
And all the other boys, try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me maybe
I look at my friends and see that they are all jumping and dancing with the song. Johanna and Clove pulls me on top of the table and they sing with me.
You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all, but still you're in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
Have first sight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it, but it's in my way
Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showing
Hot night, wind was blowing
Where you think you're going, baby?
By now, we are all dancing, jumping, and pumping our fists in the air. Clearly having fun.
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
It's hard to look right, at you baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
And all the other boys, try to chase
But here's my number, so call me maybe
They all stop singing so I can have this part to myself.
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad... I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad
And you should know that... I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right, at you baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
We all sing the last part and we just forget everything in our life and just have fun.
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
And all the other boys, try to chase me,
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad... I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me maybe
When I'm done, the cafeteria bursts into applause and I smile and take Peeta's hand helping me down the table.
"You did great" He whispers to me and the gives me a kiss. I smile and give him a kiss too.
"Nice job Kitty-Kat!"
"Thanks and Madge you also did great!"
"Thanks Kat! We're gonna rock that charity show." They all nod in agreement.
"Just tell me what song."
"Sure thing!"
Then the bell rings and we all head to class.
The class drags on for hours and finally I'm going home today. Peeta's dropping me off since he picked me up this morning. We drove to my house and Peeta gives me long passionate kiss before pulling away.
"Bye Kat"
"Bye Peeta" I give another kiss and then I hop out of the car and enter the house. I go directly to my room and do some of my homework before plopping on my bed.
I check some of my emails or notifications before turning my laptop off. I check my phone and see that Peeta sent me a message.
Peeta: Hey! Gale said that he needs help in planning Madge's birthday and that he will ask her to be his girlfriend.
Me: Sure! Tell him that we'll plan it during the weekend.
Peeta: Kk.
Me: Tell the other victors to go to my house around noon on Saturday to plan. I'll tell Delly, Glimmer and Annie to distract her while planning.
Peeta: Sure. Bye. xxxx
I text the girls for our plan on Saturday.
Me: Hey girls! Gale needs help on planning Madge's birthday and that he'll ask her to be his girlfriend. You in?
Glimmer: Of course!
Annie: Yeah, I'm in!
Delly: Sure! When?
Johanna: I'm in brainless!
Clove: In!
Foxface: Sure!
Me: Great! My house around noon. Glim, An and Dell will distract her. Okay?
They all said okay so I put my phone down and I go to the bathroom to take a bath and brush my teeth. I change into pjs before going back to bed and fall asleep thinking about Peeta...
