Chapter 12
The rest of the day goes smoothly. We all act as if the lunch incident didn't happen. Peeta and I continue to act madly in love and it seems like we have everyone convinced. At the moment I'm sitting in music enjoying my last lesson.
Gale and Finn are both in my class so luckily I am not alone. My teacher has sat us all on the floor in a circle. At the moment we are going round the class explaining why we love music and what we specialize in. Most people in this class play an instrument, apart from Finnick and I. Honestly I did not know this. We are told to get in to groups of 3 and quickly arrange a song to perform in 20 minutes.
"Katniss, can I have a word please" Miss Jones asks. She walks outside the music block and I start to follow. She stands a bit away from the music so I can hear what she has to say. "Haymitch has spoken to me. I have heard how brilliant you are at signing." She smiles brightly. "Myself and my fellow music teacher Miss Croome would love for you to help us start a school band." She smiles warmly. I take what she's saying is, I know about the real Snow, we are going to help you. Also the fact she mentioned Haymitch is her way of letting me know to trust them.
"That will be lovely Miss" I say as humbly as I can muster. She sends me back to go and work with Finn and Gale.
At first we start arguing over what song to use but then Gale finds the right song on his phone list. He quickly plays the main beat and melody so Finn and I can gather the words. Instantly I think about Peeta. It's how I feel whenever I'm near him, I don't know if I should give up or go on? Is what he feels for me real? Or is it all lies?
We are standing in front of the class waiting for Gale to start the intro. That's when I hear Finnicks deep harmonizing voice fill the room.
"When your soul finds the soul it was waiting for
When someone walks into your heart through an open door
When your hand finds the hand it was meant to hold
Don't let go"
The emotion flowing through me now is just waiting to pour out. I join Finn and we harmonize.
"Someone comes into your world
Suddenly your world has changed forever
No, there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your love lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart"
This time it's me who continues. The thoughts of Peeta and I spending time together, help me have the confidence to perform this song as powerfully as it should.
"When you're one with the one you were meant to find
Everything falls in place, all the stars align
When you're touched by the cloud that has touched your soul
Don't let go"
The first time we met at Finnick's, the way his eyes caught my attention the minuet his was within sight.
When we went shopping to Cinna's, his face when he told me I would never have to suffer alone.
The feeling I get whenever he's near.
The way he rests his hand gentlky on my knee. Or the way he pulls me closer when others are around.
His face when he said goodnight to me and gave me a goodnight kiss.
"Someone comes into your life
It's like they've been in your life forever
No, there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your love lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart
So now we've found our way to find each other
So now I found my way to you
No, there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No, there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your love lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart"
Finnick and I finish the song together and I finally piece together all the clues he's been leaving me. I understand what everyone's been going on about this whole time.
After class I rush to find him. I wait on the courts for him to finish football practice and I have been so excited all this time.
This is it. I'm going to tell him. He will know how much he means to me. Maybe we can try this together. For real. Not for show. I take a breath and run up to hi the second he comes out of the changing rooms.
"I've worked it out" I exclaim, I run into his arms. He catches me and spins me in a circle.
"What exactly is it you have worked out?" he questions. His eyes focusing in on mine.
"You like me too." I squeal, looking up at him. Gosh he is dreamy.
"About time" he looks at me. "It took you long enough." As soon as he lets out his last word his lips crash down on mine. We stand in the rain oblivious to those around us. He likes me…
