Hi everyone! I am so sorry I haven't been updating as much these last couple of weeks. I had my drama GCSE exam on Tuesday and have had no spear time what so ever.
BUT I AM NOW ON HALF TERM! I will be updating a lot more often now so get ready for those chapter to be thrown at you!
I didn't have a nightmare. That is the first thing I have noticed since I woke up. I didn't have a nightmare. My eyes are still closed. I feel an arm over my body, but who's arm? I then remember what happened last night. Peeta. It's Peeta's arm. He hugged me to keep me warm.
I can hear giggling, sounds like Annie. I can hear the sound of click, maybe from a camera. Camera?!
I quickly open my eyes to see Johanna holding a camera to her face, Annie leaning over me and Peeta, and Finnick sitting right in front of me. "Good morning sleeping beauty." Finnick said smiling.
"What time is it?" I asked sleepily.
"Only half eight. We were thinking about getting some breakfast but-" Annie began to say but Johanna cut her of.
"We didn't want to miss the entertainment when you and Peeta woke up." Johanna said taking another photo.
"Do not let those go viral." I warned her.
She let out a little chuckle, "Please, like Snow would let us have wi-fi here. The worst thing that will happen is that they will get deleted." Johanna said throwing the camera onto the bed. I slowly move my arm so it way lying in front of me, and and tried move Peeta's arm the best I could. As I tried to move away, I could feel him tighten his hold on me. This has surprised me. I hear Annie go 'awwww'. I try and turn around but I can't move. I feel Peeta's breath on the back of my neck still steady, showing me he is still asleep. I need to get up and use the bathroom, but I can't wake him. One because I can't move and two because I don't want to.
I look up to Finnick, Annie and Johanna as like 'please help me' look. Finnick laughs at my look and walks around me. I can't see him but I feel slight shaking behind me. He must be shaking Peeta to wake him. "Hey Peet, time to wake up man." I hear moaning behind me and feel Peeta's breath no longer in a pattern. He must be waking. I feel his arm, that was around my waist, lift. I hear him stop breathing for a second.
"Katniss?" He sounds embarrassed.
One hour later we are all in the dance studio, practising our dance. Our dance isn't the type I am used to, but I do like the song we have chosen. I remember a time me and Prim danced to this at a party. So far its starts with Peeta and Finnick on stage looking around as a gangster guy. Then Annie, Johanna and I walk on stage. We had to move our hips, which I wasn't doing well with, so Johanna helped me. It was uncomfortable at first but I got the hang of it. Once the lyrics start me and the girls are standing in between Peeta and Finnick. We all have a solo part for a couple of beats and then it goes onto the next person.
"Okay so I was thinking that when it goes 'It feels my hearts divided' we could have Peeta and Finnick come close to us and then we could have Johanna move forward about a step and we could push our arms out." Annie says showing us her idea.
"Yeah, I like that. And then when it goes 'Half way between wrong and right' we could all move our heads to the side and then point to the right and left." Johanna says, she too showing us what she meant.
"Oh, and since its go the word 'fire' in it, maybe we could-" Finnick started to say but everyone but me cut him of.
"No!" They shouted.
"But-"
"No!" He started to sulk a bit, but he soon got over it. We began to practise the the beginning of the dance, and soon we had the first bit done. We all looked at the clock to see that it was 11 o'clock. Johanna quickly left, I assumed to go to the toilet. About 5 minutes later she returned with 2 bags.
"Who's hungry?" She said holding up the bags. We all walked over to her as she walked over to us. We all sat down on the floor and started to pick out some food. I grabbed myself a bag of chips.
"What about our session? Won't Snow be mad that we missed it?" I asked Johanna, slightly worried. She shook her head.
"Na-ah. Since we have to prepare for the dance, he will be fine with it. If it was anything else, he would be pissed." She said eating some chicken. We all ate for about 15 minutes.
As we began clean up our food, Finnick says to Annie, "You know, we still need to work on our solo dance a bit more, do you want to head out now to practice?"
"Yeah sure." She says with a smile.
"You know," Johanna says smiling, "I kind of need to practice my solo, so I think I will head out as well." She says pointing to the door. Her, Finnick and Annie don't even say anything to us after that and walk out the door. I see Finnick whisper something to Johanna. She replies back, making Finnick laugh. Wonder what that was all about.
I was suddenly awkward in the room alone with Peeta. We just stood there for a couple of seconds, before he broke the silence. "So we need to pick a song. Do you want to have a look, or..." He says pointing to the wall where the list is.
"Sure." I say. We walk over to the list and have a look at the songs. I see the song from the other day on there, which I secretly want to do.
"So, see any you like?" He asks me. I shrug.
"Some, I do see one I like but-" I began to say but Peeta cut me of.
"Which one?" He asked. I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. What if he doesn't like the song? "Come on, which one?" I sigh in defeat and point to the song.
"'Unconditionally' by Katy Perry." I say with my finger lying on top of the words. I see Peeta give a little smile. "What?" I say with a little laugh.
"Ah its nothing." He says brushing it of.
"Come on." I say to him. He looks slightly shy, which really surprises me. He then turns to me.
"Its just that," He sighs, "I really like that song to." I looked at him with a surprised look.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" I say walking over to the music player. He looks at me with a confused look. "Lets practise. We already know some moves we could put in, so lets go." I say putting the song onto its right channel.
"I don't know Katniss..." Peeta said, not really sure if he wanted to start. But I wasn't having any of that.
"Come on. We will practise for about half an hour and then take a break, okay?" I say walking away from the music player and into the middle of the room. He sighs and walks over to me, and we get started on the dance.
About half and hour later we have just finished up to the first chorus. We are both breathing heavily. "Do you want to take a break?" He asks me. I nod. We walk over to the walls, next to the door. Peeta sits down with his back against the wall. He picks up and bottle of water and offers it to me.
"Thanks." I say taking the water. I sit down next to him, drinking a mouthful of water. He does the same with his bottle of water. He finishes before me, and I see him look at me from the corner of my eye.
"Where did you lean how to do that?" I stop drinking and look at him.
"What?" I ask, wondering what he means.
"In the dance you your able to spin around a lot, how did you learn that?" I make a 'o' shape with my mouth.
"I, um, me and my sister we, ur, we used to do a lot of dancing together. I guess you could say that we did it 24/7." I say with a little laugh.
"So you sing and dance?" He say to me. I look at him.
"Well they're both really hobbies of mine, that's all." We become silent for about a minute before I break it.
"Can I ask you something?" He looks at me and nods. I let out a sigh before talking. "Yesterday I asked you about what Johanna said to me. About you being dangerous. What is that all about?" He looks away form me, like he did yesterday, and sighs.
"Sometimes I have flashbacks, or episodes as some people call them, about my past. Sometimes I can control them and sometimes they are too much." I says not looking at me. "My resent one that was really bad I ended up beating up another student really bad." I look at him and rub his arm. He doesn't make anyway of moving away so I carry on. "The only way I can try and get through them is to remind myself that she can no longer hurt me." Who does he mean by 'she?' Does he mean his mother? And what about his episodes? What happens if he can't control them? Has he done anything worse than what he did before?
