Anastasia Mellark's P.O.V
District 12 was partying.
It brought a smile to my face. Sure, we were the poorest District, but we knew how to have a good time. People danced around while yelling at each other to try to have a conversation. Little children ran around the crowd giggling, while worried mothers desperately tried to calm them down. I smiled, that was me and Nick as kids.
The thing I liked about District 12 was that even if you couldn't dance (like me), it made you want too. I tapped my foot against the pavement and watched everyone have the time of their lives. My brother was over with his friends yelling over the music, flailing his arms around him. My mother was over talking to dad.
"Why aren't you dancing?" A husky voice said behind me.
I turned around to reveal Daniel the boy I met at the bakery.
My cheeks flushed and butterflies fluttered wildly in my stomach. I wasn't really good at talking to people, especially boys. Especially a certain pretty boy who were wearing a tux and had sea green eyes.
"I kind of suck." I admitted.
His green eyes lit up "What a coincidence! So do I!"
He grabbed my wrist and led me into the crowd.
Sonya Hawthorne's P.O.V
I was going to kill Daniel! He left me alone with the parents! My dad and I just stood there watching my mom and Annie having a deep conversation.
My dad's eyes flickered over to me. I could tell he hated the way I was dressed. A grey dress that swished down to my knees, high heels, and I was wearing makeup.
I scanned the crowd again trying to find Daniel. I wanted to dance, but I didn't want to alone.
"Look! There is Posy!" My dad yelled while walking over towards my favourite aunt.
I skipped over and threw my arms around her "Hey Aunty Posy!"
She smiled and hugged me back. "Gosh! You've grown so much! You're taller than me!"
I frowned at that. I was taller than a grown woman!
My short aunt turned towards my dad "Katniss is excited to see you, you know?" she shook her head "But you've been avoiding her."
My dad bit his lip "I-I haven't been avoiding her."
"Then why don't you come and say hello?" A new voice said behind me.
I turned around to see a woman wearing a red dress "Hi Gale."
My dad's eyes widened "Hi Katniss."
My mom and Annie came out of nowhere "Hey," Annie said.
Everyone was silent until Katniss cleared her throat and asked "So is this your daughter?"
My mom and dad nodded, we all remained quiet.
Why did you leave me Daniel?
Daniel Odair's P.O.V
"No offense, but you do suck at dancing." Anastasia said jokingly.
I laughed and whispered into her ear "Maybe I'm secretly really awesome at dancing,"
She shivered and I laughed.
I spun her around and she nearly bumped into a five year old girl.
"Sorry!" Anastasia apologized.
The girl looked confused "Who are you dancing with Ana?"
Anastasia knelt down to be closer to her "He's just a friend."
The girl shook her head stubbornly "No! You're only aloud to dance with people if you like like them." Then she gave a missing tooth grin and lowered her voice "You like like him don't you Ana?"
I bit my lip to keep from laughing. "Do you want to dance with me then?" I asked the little girl. Her face filled with disgust and she ran away.
Anastasia face was scarlet red, "Sorry about that, she's just this little girl I watch when her dad goes into the mines."
