Here it is! You guys have really made my day, I opened up my email, and I had 54 emails, and about half of them where for this story! I am so glad you liked it!

Sabine X

Principal Snow POV

"Katniss Everdeen, Sir" Plutarch addresses me.

"That will be all, thank you" I say, and give him a brief nod.

"Ahh, Katniss, how lovely it is to be meeting with you again. Please, do sit" I say, with a smile. She nods her head, and sits.

"Hello, again Sir" She says to me, with a forced smile spreading across her face.

"I only wish that our meeting could have been under better circumstances" I look down at my hands as I speak.

"I don't understand, sir" She says. Ah, so she is playing dumb.

"Now, now Katniss. I don't like being lied to" I say, looking straight at her. "Lets make a promise not to lie to each other, hmm?" I finish, and watch as she goes through what I just said.

"Fine. I hope you keep your promise then" She says, in a bored tone.

"Well, Katniss, would you like to tell me what happened today at lunch?" I ask, leaning forward on the table and resting on my elbows.

"He broke my boundary. So I broke his arm" She replies nonchalantly.

"Well that is against the rules, Miss Everdeen" I counter.

"Well I didn't know the rules" She says. I notice that she is starting to pack up her things.

"Well, I suspected that you would know that violence is not tolerated in any school." I say.

"I didn't know that either" She says as she slides her backpack onto her bag.

"Well you should" I say, leaning farther forward slowly.

"Sir, if we are done her, I'm gunna leave" She says as she is heading towards the door. This really rubs me the wrong way.

"SIT DOWN MISS EVERDEEN!" I stand up and push my chair back as I do so while I speak. She makes an annoyed noise, but walks back towards her seat.

"We are not done here yet" I say to her in a sweet tone of voice. I notice this makes her uncomfortable, as she edges back on her seat just a tiny bit. Good, I think.

"So did you think you could get away with harming another student like that?" I ask her.

"Well, I was hoping you were dumber than you looked, then yeah, I thought I would" She says with venom in her voice. She sighs and mumbles something under her breathe.

" Sorry, what did you say?" I ask, as I didn't catch what she had mumbled.

"I said, I was hoping you were dumber than you looked, then yeah, I thought you would. I guess you are deafer than you look too." She says icily.

"No, I heard that, I meant what you mumbled" I say, choosing to ignore her later comment.

"Nothing of importance" She replies with a sigh, as she sinks further into her chair, and slouching over more.

"Everything is important, Katniss, just some things more than others." I reply, watching as she slouches over more.

"Whatever" She rolls her eyes as she replies.

"Well, I do have a few more questions, then you are free to go" I say to her.

"Shoot" She says.

"Why did you do it?" I question her.

"Like I said earlier, he broke my boundaries" She said, while slitting her eyes ever so slightly.

"Ok" I say, a little disappointed in the detail, but I gather that she isn't going to tell me anyways. "Did you say sorry?" I ask.

"Nope" She pops the "P" sound.

"Why not?" I ask, referring to the apology.

"Because he didn't deserve it" She says.

"Fair enough" I say. She nods her head.

"Are we done now?" She asks me, with a bored look on her face.

"Not just yet" I reply. She lets out an exasperated sigh and sinks further into the chair.

"Where did you learn to fight?" I ask her. This question caught her off guard, as she is left speechless, with her eyes wide.

"I don't know how to fight" She says, clearly lying through her teeth.

"Now, Katniss, I thought we had agreed not to lie to each other" I say, looking at her.

"Mydadtaughtme" She says very fast and quietly, as if it was a secret.

"Pardon?" I say, while leaning forward more.

"My dad taught me" She says again, slightly louder.

"Ok. So do you fight outside of school?" I raise my eyebrows as I speak.

"Yes" She states simply.

"Good, good" I say, as I wouldn't want talent like that to go to waste.

"And why is that good?" She asks. This time it is her turn to raise her eyebrows at me.

"We wouldn't Prim to starve, now would we." I say, with a hint of a smile growing across my face.

"WHAT!" She says, with her eyes widening.

"I won't give you a detention or anything this time" I say, with the emphasis on "this time". "You may go now" I say. She stands up slowly, as if she I unsure on what she should do, and slowly makes her way to the door. Just as she is about to shut the door for her departure, I call out.

"Katniss remember our promise" I say, while tapping the side of my head with my finger. She gives me a brief nod, and closes the door.

Katniss POV

Did I hear what I think I heard? How does he know about me fighting? Or better yet, how does he know about Prim? Or the fact that I fight to feed Prim? All these questions go through my head as I hurry down the hall to music. I am utterly confused. How did the principal know so much about me? Maybe I had just imagined it, I think. It is probably not likely though.

I finally make it to music rooms, and am happy to see that we still have a bit over half an hour for music. I go over to see Cinna, to let him know that I am back.

"Ahh, Katniss" He says, as I am walking over to him "Finished with you meeting, hmm?" He asks me, while looking down at his paper.

"Yes. I was wondering, if you could give me a hand in the black station, because I don't really know what I am doing, and I might need some guidance" I say, looking up at him hopefully.

"Sure Katniss, I would be happy to help" He pauses "I will be there in a second, alright, Lana just needs some help setting up the microphones" He says. He walks over to the bitchy blonde chick, who said that she is the best singer. Her name is Lana, I think to myself, as I push open the door to the black station.

As I enter, I realise that I am not the only person who is in here, and I notice that there is one of the girls who I was following, the one who didn't know her talent, and a girl with striking red hair and fox like features.

"Hey, you must be Katniss, right?" The blonde asks.

"Right" I nod, looking at the two.

"Well, I'm Madge. I'm glad we have a class together" She says, as she smile what looks like a genuine smile.

"Thanks Madge" I say quietly as I reach them.

"I'm Marissa, I'm happy to finally meet you" She says.

"I'm glad to meet you too" I say. "so what is your talents?" I ask them both.

"I can play a bit of the piano" the girl I learnt to be called Madge answers.

"No, she is amazing at piano! You should here her" Marissa says.

"I would love to hear you, if you want to show me" I say. I like these girls, I hope they will come and sit with me at lunch; they are both very nice as far as I can tell.

"Fine. But only if you back me up Marissa" She says, looking at Marissa with a triumphant grin.

"Ughh, fine." She says.

"Do you play the piano too?" I ask her.

"No, I play the electric guitar, but Madge, here" She points her finger at Madge " doesn't like playing on her own, so she makes me join in" She says, while glaring at Madge playfully.

"Is it alright if I hear you separate? That way I can concentrate more" I say, looking up at them. I notice that they are both a bit taller than me.

"Yeah, that's fine. But Marissa is going first" Madge says with a nod.

"Fine by me" I say, looking at Marissa with a slight smile.

"Fine. But then you have to go after us, Katniss" She says, looking at me.

"Fine" I say, a little unhappy that I got brought into this deal, but I guess it is only fair.

"Good" Madge says, as Marissa plugs an electric guitar into a speaker thing.

"What's that for?" I ask, pointing at the speaker.

"It's an amp, it makes the guitar louder" Madge replies.

"Haven't you ever seen one?" Marissa asks me.

"No, I never really had a music class at my old schools" I say. They actually probably did have a music class, I just never went to school so I wouldn't know, I just wasn't going to tell them that.

"Oh" Is all they say. Marissa turns a few nobs and dials on the amp thing, and then she is ready to go.

"Ok, what should I play?" She asks us.

"I don't care, anything, whatever you are best at" I say, just eager to listen to Marissa play.

"Ok then" She says. "1, 2, 3, 4" She says. She starts playing a song that sounds vaguly familiar. I hear Madge sing to herself.

"You can count on me, like one, two, three and I'll be there" She says, she looks at me, and smiles, with a faint blush on her cheeks. Marissa continues to the end of the song, then unplugs her guitar. Madge and I start clapping.

"Yeah! Go Marissa" Madge says, with a large grin on her face.

"You are REALLY good!" I say, with a large emphasis on really.

"Yeah, I know right! She is easily the best in the class" Madge agrees.

"Thanks guys, but I'm not that good" She replies, being modest.

"Whatever!" Madge says.

"You are really good though. Why don't you play for the rest of the class?" I ask.

"I don't like being a show off, and besides, if I played guitar and Re heard me, I would get killed!" She says.

"True. Re hates it when people are better than her along with the whole group. They are the best in the class, and whenever someone tries to play what they can play, they get pissed. That's why Clove had to leave, because she was better at drums than Felicity, so they made her give up music." Madge says.

"Ok, Who is Re and Felicity?" I ask them.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot that you were new. Well, Re is the one with purple hair. She is pretty good at guitar, but not as good as Marissa here. She is the lead guitarist in the class. And Olivia is the girl with brown hair, and really bad regrowth" Marissa explains for me.

"Ok, so they are like the best in the class?" I ask them.

"Well, no, but yeah." Madge says.

"What?" I ask them, I am pretty confused about how this class works.

"Well, they think they're the best in the class, and they always preform on the stage. So, Lana sings, she is alright, but you could get a lot better. Then there is Olivia, who plays the piano, she is pretty good, too. Felicity is their drummer, she is alright, I guess; and finally, there is Re, who is a pretty bad guitarist, but she thinks she is really good, but she's not" Marissa says, listing them off on her fingers.

"But, the best guitarist is Marissa, the best piano player is me, the best drummer is, no wait, was Clove, and we don't have a singer" Madge states.

"So how come you never play if you are better?" I ask, clearly not getting why they don't just go take the other girls positions.

"Because they're all a group. And we never had a singer" Marissa says to me.

"Well I can sing a bit" I say, looking at the ground to hide the blush I know will be on my cheeks.

"How good are you?" Marissa asks me.

"Pretty good I guess" I say "I'm not really sure. I only ever really sing for my sister, Prim" I say.

"Will you show us?" Madge asks me.

"I will, but after you show me your piano skills" I reply, smiling at my newly made friends.

"Fine" Madge says, and walks over to the piano. She starts playing a song I know called Someone Like You. It is a really good song, and I sometimes would sing it to Prim, because she really liked the lyrics. Just near the end of the song, Cinna walk in. I forgot he was going to come in. Madge hadn't noticed his arrival yet, so when she finished and turned around, she jumped a little in shock to notice that there was a fourth member to the group.

"That was really good Madge!" I say, with Marissa nodding in agreement next to me.

"That was excellent, Madge. How come you have never showed us?" He asks her. By us, I presume he means the class.

"I dunno. You know how Olivia gets" She replies in a quiet voice.

"True. But maybe, if Katniss is a good singer, you could be the new class band, that is if you brought Clove back in" He says raising an eyebrow at us.

"That would be cool! And I do miss Clove" Marissa says.

"Well, I would like to see some new talent." Cinna says "Ok, Katniss show us what you've got" He says to me, with a smile on his face.

"Alright then" I grumble as I walk onto the stage to get a microphone "I don't have to be on stage, do I?" I ask them.

"Yes, please. Because it is a drag to bring all the equipment everywhere" Cinna says, reading my mind for the next question.

"Madge, can you come here?" I call out to madge across the room. Madge walks over, while I notice Marissa and Cinna are in a discussion of there own.

"Yeah Katniss?" She says as she has finally reached where I am.

"Do you think you could play the piano for me?" I ask her, because I really don't like singing alone.

"Sure, what song?" She asks. I really do like Madge, she is jut too kind.

"Mean, by Taylor Swift" I say "Can you play it?"

"Yeah, I love that song! Good pick" She says, as she jumps of the stage and takes a few steps to the piano, which is only a few metres away from me.

I look over towards where Cinna and Marissa are standing, and realise that they have a third person with them.

"Katniss" Marissa calls out "This is our friend-" I cut Marissa off.

"CLOVE" I scream as I run across the room and hug her. I don't know why I did, I have never been one for hugs, but it just seemed like the appropriate thing to do.

"What are you doing here? Thought you had a free?" I ask her.

"I do, and I realised that you would be a loner, so I came to keep you company, but I guess you made your own friends. Good taste in friends, by the way" She says, and winks at me. This is why I like Clove, she is funny, nice and is a lot like me. "Anyways, my friend, Marissa here says that you need a drummer… So what should I play?" She asks me, with a smile spreading across her face. I can tell she is itching to go play the drums.

"Well, how about Cinna just sits on the chair" I point towards a chair a few stes away from him "And Marrisa, Madge, Clove and I will play the song" I sugget. Everybody agrees, so Cinna sits on his chair as we go organise ourselves.

"Ok guys. Do you all know how to play Mean by Taylor Swift?" I ask them. They all look at each other as grins spread across their faces simultaneously. "What?" I ask them.

"We used to all play that song, but without a singer. So yes, I would say where pretty good at that song" Clove says, with a grin so wide I didn't think it was possible.

"Ok, that's good than. So everyone go to your instrument things, and we will start, I guess" I say with a shrug of my shoulders.

"I will count us in?" Clove asks.

"Sure" We all reply at the same time, which makes us smile even more.

I pick up the microphone and switch it on.

"Hey" I say into, to make sure it is working, and because I have never used one before. "Alright, I would just like to say, you guys are the first to hear me sing in about 6 years, apart from my sister that is, and I am really sorry if I am not any good" I say, praying to god that I actually can sing, and that people weren't just saying that to be nice. But before I can think about what I am doing, Clove starts counting us all in.

"1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4!" Clove yells, they all start, and I wait for a few moments before I do aswell

(A/N I suggest you listen to the song while you read this if you can, you don't have to though)

You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You picking on the weaker man

You can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know, what you don't know...

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know, what you don't know...

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean

All you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

But someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so?..

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

I look up, and I only realise two things:

1. Cinna's eyes are wide open, and his jaw

hanging wide open

2. So is Annie's, Johanna's, Cashmere's and Glimmer's.

Don't forget to review! I will update ASAP!
