PLZ READ, VERY IMPORTANT
Hey guys! Okay, I think it was worth writing up so late the other night. But I'm so tired I didn't fall asleep until around midnight. I'm a bit exhausted, but I'm okay I guess. Anyway, I had a question from gabellahalo asking me how many chapters is the story going to be. Well, I don't really know yet. I'll have to think about it.
So, I was thinking of making a sequel. I'm not sure, but I think you guys will get a bit questiony about what happens afterward. So thank you for the people who are reading this, it does get annoying sometimes if people don't read A/Ns. Anyway, if you think I should write a sequel, just let me know by reviewing or PMing me. It means a lot, thanks guys! :D
Thx...

PLZ READ A/N AFTER CHAPTER! NEWS!
Katniss' POV
I stay away from Madge the rest of the day. Before I know it, time has flied and I'm already on my way to Troy's office.
Peeta has decided he'll meet me there because he had to do something first. He didn't tell me what it was, but I didn't ask. I didn't want to be pushy. Sure enough, Peeta's waiting in front of the door when I arrive. I smile and he smiles back.
"What will he say to me?" I ask Peeta a bit worried.
"I don't know, but I do know that it's going to go great", Peeta tells me, pulling me into a hug. I feel his warmth against my body, sending shivers trailing down my spine.
The door opens, revealing Troy. Peeta and I slowly pull apart as Troy says, "Well, are you ready? Or do you want to stay with your boyfriend?" For some reason, I blush.
"I'm ready", I say.
Troy smiles and says, "Good, come this way."
"Bye", I say to Peeta.
"Good luck", Peeta responds, as I walk through the door.
Troy's office is so cluttered, that I think it's my Nanna's house. It's not exactly messy, just cluttered. Things are neatly arranged, but it looks too busy for my liking. There are guitars hanging from a wall, posters of different singers, some really weird paintings; the ones that look like they've just splattered paint on the canvas, that are worth a lot for some reason and heaps of other things.
"Come, sit", Troy tells me, snapping me out of my daze. I go over to his desk and sit on the opposite side of him. The chair I'm sitting on is basically a lounge chair. My butt is sinking into the bottom cushion which is actually, a little bit uncomfortable for my liking.
I clear my throat as Troy starts to talk. "So have you had any acting experience?" Right now, I know it might be bad, but I want Madge here with me. Not the lying and traitor side of her, but the sweet and innocent side. The old Madge, not the new one. There's a bit in my stomach growing of me missing Madge. But I'm so angry too, I can't handle it.
"Um, a little", I say. Troy raises an eyebrow, making me continue. "I was in my school's play."
Troy sighs and says, "Well, Madge has showed me that a video of you singing."
I nod my head and say, "So I've heard."
"Katniss, you're really talented in singing. We just have to get the acting bit right", Troy states. "But you'll need to practice."
I nod my head, not really getting what he's trying to say.
"I've promised Madge that if you come talk to me, I'd give you an audition. So I guess it's only fair if I keep that promise", Troy says with a sigh. Troy pulls out a drawer on his side of the desk. He pulls out all of this paperwork that makes me dizzy. There's two different thick piles. "This one is the script." Troy says as he passes the script over to me.
I grab it and look at the front. 'Live, love & laugh.'
I'm guessing that's the name of the movie. Sounds interesting enough. "And this is the paperwork you have to fill out. I've already signed a few things because the others can't know that you don't have much acting experience, okay?" Troy hands me over the other pile. It's a lot to fill out.
I nod my head and Troy says, "You don't talk much do you?"
I blush and say, "I do, just not at the moment." That sounds stupid but I didn't know what else to say.
"Well, you'll have to get acting, won't you?" Troy says.
"Yep", I answer.
"You can go now", Troy says. In other words, I'm not wanted anymore. I nod my head and disappear immediately. I'm about to turn the door knob, but Troy stops me.
"Katniss?"
I don't turn around I just freeze. I don't answer.
"Just heads up, next time it's not really smart to turn on a fire alarm", Troy tells me.
I turn around with my hand away from the knob. "How-
"Don't worry about it. I haven't told anyone", Troy says with a nod of his head. I can't believe he wouldn't tell anyone. But then again, how could I trust him?
I leave and this time, for good. I close the door behind me and see Peeta smiling at me.
I grab his hand and we start to walk out of the building.
"Did you hear any of that?" I ask Peeta.
Peeta smirks and says, "Only the last bit. Troy is very much right; you shouldn't put on a fire alarm. I can't help but smile and play punch Peeta on the arm. He laughs and we walk out of the building.
"Well, hello", a voice says as we exit the building.
I smile and say, "Hi, Johanna."
"Lovebirds", Johanna says nodding. She smiles at me but looks at Peeta like she doesn't want to see him.
"What are you doing here?" Peeta ask Johanna, maybe a bit rude. I look at Peeta, trying to give him a sign to be more nice to Johanna.
Johanna crosses her arms and says, "Oh, Finnick didn't tell you? I'm getting enrolled here. I got expelled at my other school", Johanna says shrugging it off.
Peeta raises an eyebrow and asks, "What for?"
Johanna just says, "Don't think you want to know. See ya around, lovebirds."
Johanna walks into the building and Peeta pulls me along. "I really don't get why you don't like her."
"I really don't get why you like her", Peeta states back.
"What's not to like?" I ask. "She seems nice."
Peeta shakes his head but doesn't argue. We walk to the car park and look around for Peeta's car. Peeta leads me to his car and unlocks it.
Peeta, being the gentlemen he is, opens the passengers door for me and I smile as I hop in. Peeta even shuts the door for me. Peeta gets in his side and starts the engine. Peeta pulls out of the school and I ask, "So, are you going to talk to Gale?"
Peeta shrugs and says, "Are you gonna talk to Madge?" I look away, knowing he only asked that to make the conversation end.
I hear Peeta sigh and say, "I will, if you talk to Madge."
I frown and look at Peeta, who's looking at the road. When Peeta gives me a quick glance, I say, "I thought you told me to talk to her when the time's right?"
"I know, but now that I've thought it over properly...I think you should talk to her. It doesn't seem right otherwise", Peeta says.
"So- I cut myself off, knowing whatever I say, will turn into an argument. Instead, I don't say anything.
"Katniss...I didn't mean to upset you", Peeta tells me softly.
"I know", I say.
"I'm just saying my opinion", Peeta says giving me a quick look.
"Okay", I answer. Peeta frowns and I add, "Maybe I will...but that's gonna be a while."
"Okay", Peeta says.
"So, when's the audition?" Peeta asks me.
I sigh and look at the piles in my lap. I grab the script and flick to the first page.
'Audition is this Saturday, make me proud.
-Troy'
My eyes go wide and I say, "Oh my gosh, it's on Saturday! I'm never going to get ready for it by then!" I start to panic and Peeta has to calm me down.
"Katniss, relax. You'll go fine. Has he left any other things for you?" I flip through the pages and find written notes on each page, telling me some things.
I sigh in relief and say, "Yeah, Troy had written me some notes on the pages. I hope it helps."
"See", Peeta points out. "You're going to go great."
"I hope so", is all I have to say. We approach my house and Peeta pulls into the driveway.
We sit there for a moment before I say, "I better go." Peeta gives me a sad look and I smile at how cute he looks.
"What?" Peeta ask me, expectantly.
"I- And I freak again. The 3 little words are stuck in my throat, again.
Peeta looks at me questionably and I shake my head. "Never mind, bye." I get out of the car and start to walk off; but then I remember something.
I turn back around and walk over to the driver's side. Peeta winds down the window and smiles, "Forgot something?"
I bend down to his face and say, "Yep." I pull him to me and kiss him. Gosh I love those lips.
I pull away and Peeta says, "I thought so." I smile and Peeta runs a hand through his hair.
"See ya", Peeta says as I step away from his car. Peeta winds down the window and I stand waving goodbye. Peeta gives me one last wave before taking off.
I go inside, but upset. I lock the door behind me and lean against it. All I want to tell Peeta is that I love him. But the words don't seem to come out.
"I love you", I whisper. It was easy to say then, but it's so hard to just say the words to Peeta. I do love Peeta, I really do. It hurts to love someone that much, I just never knew that.
"What was that?" My mum asks me with raised eyebrows as she walks past.
"Oh...nothing", I say and rush off to my room.
I lye on my bed, but as soon as my head hits my pillow, my phone rings. I sigh in frustration as I look at the number. It's a private caller. I frown but answer it anyway.
"Hello?"
"Kat, we need to talk." I rub my forehead at the voice.
"Why, seriously Madge?" I say into the phone.
"Because we're best friends-
"No, you got that wrong. You were never my best friend. I was just stupid enough to not realize that", I say.
"What? What the fuck are you talking about?" Madge says.
It takes me a while to answer. "You know exactly what I'm talking about."
"What-
"It wasn't your secret to tell Madge! It was all planned, getting Clove to bring up the conversation and liking Peeta all along-
This time Madge cuts me off. "I do not like Peeta!"
"Oh really, what about the things you have said to me? You used Gale as an excuse to cover up!" I'm nearly yelling now.
"I did not! I don't know what has gotten into you lately, but whatever it is I don't like it", Madge says.
"What else have you been telling people? What have you been telling Gale?" I ask not caring about what she said.
"Nothing, Kat", Madge tells me.
"Look Madge, I don't have time for your crap", I say.
"Wait no-
I hang up before she can finish what she was saying. I do have time for her crap, I just don't want to hear it. I can't be bothered.
…...
I wake up with my neck hurting. It's only then that I notice I'm at my desk, with the script in front of me. I must've dozed off last night when I was reading through the script. I ended up getting through only half of it. I sigh and get up to stretch. I yawn as I leave the room and head downstairs.
"What day is it?" I ask Prim. She jumps at the sound of my voice.
"Sorry, I scared you little duck", I tell Prim.
"That's okay. It's Thursday by the way", Prim says.
"I'll never get ready in time", I say shaking my head in disgust. I wish I got the script earlier.
Prim looks confused and asks, "What are you talking about?"
I frown and remember that I haven't told Prim about the movie yet. I tell her about the movie, and also about Madge.
Prim's eyes are big with excitement and says, "That's great, Kat!"
"Yeah, but I don't know how it'll go", I say.
"Oh, you'd go fine! There's nothing to worry about", Prim says simply. I find it funny how Peeta and Prim can have so much in common. They're both so caring and supportive. They seem to always forgive someone so easily and have so much faith in things, that it seems unreal to me. It's nice to be around, it makes me want to be like them.
I smile and say, "You're so much like Peeta, little duck."
"I'm guessing that's good", Prim says with a wink.
I nod my head and Prim chuckles. "Talking about Peeta, how have things been going with you two?"
"Good...I guess", I say.
"It doesn't sound like it", Prim says frowning. "What's the matter?" Prim's not that old if you think about it. Should I really tell her that I love Peeta?
"You know what, it's really nothing. So, am I making breakfast?" I say to Prim.
Prim shakes her head and says, "You sit, I'll make breakfast."
"Good morning girls." I turn around to see mum coming to the bench. We both sit on the stools and my mum whispers to me, "You love him, don't you?"
Mum must have heard. I smile weakly and say, "Yes, I do."
Mum smiles and says, "Don't worry about it. You'll get to tell him when you least expect it. Don't plan it, just let it slip out." I nod my head, trying to understand what she is trying to say.
There's a knock on the door and I look at mum questionably. Mum just shrugs and I get up to answer it. Who would be here at the this time of the morning? I don't bother to check how I look, I already know I look horrible. I walk over and open the door, revealing Madge.
"I don't care what you say, we're sorting whatever this is out right now", Madge says calmly.
I turn my head to see mum and Prim looking at me. I smile slightly and give them a little nod. I push past Madge and outside. I catch the morning breeze as I close the door.
"Look, Katniss. I just want to to know that I don't like Peeta and I'm sorry I told Peeta", Madge says.
"You're at my house, telling me that you're sorry for telling Peeta. You knew that I didn't want anyone to tell him but me! If you were 'sorry' you wouldn't have done it in the fist place!" I say crossing my arms.
"Katniss-
"I don't want excuses, I want a reason", I tell Madge.
"I was going to explain my reason if you didn't interrupt", Madge snaps.
I let her go on, not interrupting. "I told Peeta because I didn't want you to hurt him. Maybe, I had feelings for him at the start...but I got over them." My eyes go wide when she tells me this. I thought that she liked him, but it feels different coming from her mouth.
"I did mean it when I told you that I like Gale", Madge continues. "I really did. I would never lie to you like that, okay?"
"I still don't get your reason why you told", I state.
Madge sighs and explains more clearly, "I didn't know you were going to tell him. I just didn't want to drag out any longer, so I felt like if I were in Peeta's position, I would want someone to tell me. I just didn't realize that it was the wrong thing to do. I'm sorry."
I'm quiet as I think this through. I can tell by her face that she honestly means it. I've known her for years, she wouldn't want to throw our friendship away. "Did you plan it?"
"Yes, I did", Madge admits.
I start to believe her. If she was lying to me, she wouldn't be telling me that she did plan the whole thing of telling Peeta and that she did like Peeta a bit, but got over it.
"Okay", I say with a sigh.
Madge eyes widen and asks softly, "So, you believe me?"
I nod my head and Madge face turns into happiness. She squeals in delight and hugs me. I try not to smile at how happy she is, but it's difficult not to.
"I have so much to tell you", I say, leading happy Madge inside.
