I FOUND THE CHAPTER! PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW, FAVOURITE AND VOTE ON MY POLLS!
I think I'm going to throw up. Its the day of the performance and I am shitting myself. There's only a couple of people watching me, so if I'm like this for the auditions then what am I going to be like for the live performance?
I adjust my jacket I'm wearing to make it more comfortable. I'm wearing tight leather trousers, with a red top and a tight black jacket on the top. I wanted my hair down but Annie wanted to do something different with it, as I always have it down. She's put my hair in a side braid that comes down my right shoulder. I'm not wearing lots of make-up. My eyes are covered with black eye-shadow with mascara. My cheek bones are slightly pinker and lips are dark red. I have got to admit Annie did a good job with my make-up.
"So what happened with you a Peeta yesterday?" I turn around to see Annie and Johanna walking over to me. We are currently back stage, waiting for our names to be called to to go on stage. They bother were dressed just like me, except Annie had her hair up in a pony-tail and Johanna had her hair down as it was so short.
"What?" I ask then, not knowing what they are talking about. Johanna laughs.
"Oh come on, don't give us that look. When you and Peeta came back yesterday you both kept on looking at each other during rehearsals." Johanna pointed out.
"Did something happen with you too?" Annie asked with a smile on her face, looking like she was hoping something happened between me and Peeta. Before I could answer we heard a voice from outside.
"Can Johanna, Finnick, Annie, Peeta and Katniss enter the stage, please?" Its time. My stomach starts to move. I feel really sick. I can't do this. As Johanna and Annie make their way to the door, I stay in my spot. Annie looks at me and sees that I am panicking.
"Katniss, your going to be fine." She says walking back over to me. She puts her hand on my shoulder and gives me a little squeeze. I look up at her with a worried look. I hear Johanna sigh. I look over to see she is making her way over to us.
"Okay Brainless you have two options. You can either walk out of this room and kick but out there or you can stay in here and make us look like idiots." I let out a little laugh. "I mean really, who wants to be embarrassed?"
"Not me." Annie say quickly. I let out another laugh and look up at them. I take a big breath and nod my head.
"Okay, lets do it." They both nod their heads and we walk out of the door. The first thing I see is Peeta and Finnick standing outside the door waiting for us. Them both dressed in black just like us. They have black toruses and a black top with a black leather jacket.
"Hey what took so long?" Finnick asked walking over to us.
"Nothing, just some last minuet preparations." Johanna said pointing to her face, making it look like we had to finish our make-up. Finnick laughed.
"Girls." Finnick mumbled under his breath. Peeta laughed. We then made our way onto the stage. The stage was massive. It looked much bigger than it did when I wasn't standing on it. I look around into the audience to see our dance teacher, Cinna, Haymitch and Snow. Snow. What was he doing here? I suddenly start to feel sick again. I look at Cinna as a sign for 'help'. He gives me the 'breath' motion. I take a deep breath in and get into positions. The music begins and we start.
The dance is soon over and I can finally breath. "Katniss you were great." I turn around to see Peeta standing next to me as we walk.
"Thanks. So were you." I say back to him. He smiles and lets out a breath, as do I. "God I am out of breath."
"Well you better get some breath back into you." I turn to my right to see Johanna walking past me. "You both are back on in 15 minutes for your duet." She's right. I have to do my other dance with Peeta. I completely forgot about that. I look at Peeta. He looks down at me.
"Hey don't worry. You will do great." I nod and we carry on our walk. We walk past the other group, Johanna calls them the 'Careers'. They are the other people in my dance class. We walk past them, as quickly as we could. I'm behind them so I am nearer to them. As I walk past them I see the tallest one, Cato I think his name is, block my pathway.
"Hey, bad girl, nice moves." He say looking down at me with a smirk, one I do not like. I take a step back away from him but he follows. He the leans into me to whisper near my face. "You know, I'm pretty much a bad boy."
"Hey!" He is suddenly pulled away from me. I feel someone grab my arm. I flinch away from them, but the grab it again. I look up to see Peeta.
"Are you okay?" He asks with an concerned voice. I nod. He sighs and leads me away from Cato who is on the floor. I see Johanna standing over him.
"Be glad I don't punch you." She says walking away. I look over my shoulder to see the girl Carers staring at us, with the other boy, Marvel I think, helping Cato up. I turn and walk away from everyone and walk into the changing room to get changed into my dress. I close the door and lean onto it. I take a deep breath, fighting the tears that start to form behind my eyes. I feel a memory pushing its way into my mind. I squeeze my eyes shut, as I try and fight it away.
I suddenly hear a knock at the door. I feel thankful for this, as it has helped me push the memory away. I quickly wipe my eyes, hoping who ever is at the door won't notice the tears. I move my back away from the door and turn around to open it. Johanna and Annie appear at the door, with an concerned face.
"Katniss, are you okay?" Annie says walking up to me. I nod and take a step back to let the enter. Annie walks over to me and gives me a little hug. I am a little started by it as I am not much of a hug person. I look up to see Johanna closing the door and walking over to us with her arms crossed. Annie lets me go and stands next to Johanna.
"Honestly Katniss, just ignore them. They are just some fuckers who think they can own anything or anyone." She says with a pissed of look. I give her a little nod and rub mu arm.
"Do you you think you can go on with the performance?" Annie asks. I nod again. She gives me a sad smile. "You having a mute moment?" I look down embarrassed.
"Hey come on Annie." I hear Johanna say. I look up to see Johanna and Annie looking at each other. "We have to get ready as well. You and Finnick are on next." And with that they left the room after saying goodbye to me. I take a deep breath and walk over to a mirror and look at my reflection. I let out one more sigh before starting removing my make-up.
Thanks for reading. I will have next next chapter up by the end of the month. Okay it may sound long but really its only just over a week. I promise it will be up soon!
