Chapter 8
Katniss.
"Truth or dare!" Effie shrieks with excitement.
"Dare. Truth is for wimps and boring people." Katniss says with no real emotion on her face.
"Hm…" Effie says while scratching her wig. After a minute, she's still thinking and scratching her wig even more vigorously. Suddenly, the wig falls of revealing a sea of green hair.
"HAHAHAHA! NOW I KNOW WHY EFFIE WEARS A WIG! SHE'S GOT SEAWEED ON HER HEAD!" Gale cackles. Gale's laughter is in between the sound of a choking monkey and a cat being squashed. Everyone laughs, half with him and half because of him. Effie picks up the fallen wig and tosses it aside.
"Gale, you have obviously never been to the Capitol. This is also a wig." She says while poking her green head of hair.
"I mean who doesn't have a back up wig." She laughs. Everyone is giving her the "are you serious" look.
"Wow, that's… "interesting"." Gale says sarcastically.
"I know it is!" Effie squeals.
"O! M! G! I know what to dare Katniss!"
"Well, go on… We won't wait all day." Finnick snaps.
"Katniss, are dare you to make three boys in this room sing to you."
"Wait what? How is that fair? I thought that this dare was for me, not them."
"It is! I'm daring you to make other people do something." She says as she makes a face only some very imaginative people can call a "smile".
"Ugh… fine… Anyone want to help me out here? Yes, no? Okay fine… I'll go cry in a corner…" She says with an unconcerned tone.
"NOOOO!" Peeta screams in slow motion. Katniss raises an eyebrow.
"I'll sing to you. I'll do whatever you want me to do. Anything you want me to do, just tell me. Anything." He mutters.
"Okay… That's great…"
"Anything."
"Yeah. Okay."
"Anything…"
"OH MY GOD SHUT UP PEETA! I GOT IT THE FIRST HUNDRED TIMES!" Finally, Peeta shuts his trap.
"Anyone else want to volunteer?"
"Fine I'll do it." Marvel sighs.
"Seriously?"
"No… I just said that for no particular reason…"
"What? You're confusing."
"I was being sarcastic you thick headed girl."
"Oh. Now I get it. Anyone else?" Prim starts whispering to Rue telling her to convince one of the guys. Then Rue starts whispering to Thresh trying to convince him to help.
"Fine, I'll do it…" Thresh moans.
"Okay. Um… So you guys want to sing a song that you all know…?" Katniss asks.
"How about I will always love you? I am a pretty sick singer and I got this song down. You guys can just hum in the background." Marvel smirks cockily.
"Yeah, all yours dude." Thresh says unenthusiastically. Suddenly, Marvel, Peeta and Thresh start screeching.
"IF I SHOULD STAY! I WOULD ONLY BE IN YOUR WAY! SO I'LL GO BUT I KNOW I'LL THINK OF YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU! YOU, MY DARLING YOU!" Marvel and Peeta practically screams out. Peeta stares at Katniss the whole time making her feel very self conscious, awkward and creeped out.
"Yeah… That's enough. If I get anymore I think my ears are going to die."
"Hey! I was pretty good! It was Peeta over there ruining my groove." Marvel complains. Out of nowhere, Haymitch gets to his feet.
"WHO JUST KILLED A CAT! THAT CAT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS REALLY SUFFERING!" Haymitch yells.
"Um… That was Peeta, Marvel and Thresh singing…" Rue whispers.
"HAHAHAHA! I THOUGHT THAT A CAT WAS DYING!" Haymitch chuckles.
"Wait, that singing reminds me of a talented singer I used to know!" Effie shrills.
"Really!" Marvel smiles.
"Yeah! My great Aunt!"
"Wow!"
"Yeah! She was an avox!" Effie says.
"WHAT! AVOXES CAN'T EVEN TALK! YOU'RE COMPARING MY AWESOME SINGING TO AN AVOX'S SINGING!" Marvel whines.
"HAHAHAHA! My day just gets better every second. I never thought I'd see the day that Marvel gets dissed by Effie! And I mean Effie!" Haymitch says while stumbling. He takes a big swig of his drink.
"Mmm… The sweet taste of alcohol. Sweet… Too sweet… THIS IS GRAPE JUICE! WHO PUT GRAPE JUICE IN MY BOTTLE!" Everyone points to Clove.
"CCCCLLLLLLLOOOOOOVVVEEEEE! WHERE'S MY ALCOHOL!" Haymitch shrieks.
"Oh um, I think someone's calling me. Yeah someone is. Um yeah." Clove says while ducking behind Cato.
"I'M GOING TO KILL HER! Wait… where'd she go?" Suddenly, Clove falls and tumbles away from Cato.
"Cato! I'm so proud of you! You just gave birth to a teenage girl! Hmm… where have I seen her before…? Whatever… Let's SPIN THE BOTTLE OF DEATH!" He screams. Indifferently, Katniss climbs past people to get to the middle of the circle and spins the bottle. Slowly, it comes to a stop and it lands on…
