Chapter 7.

Hello! What's up? :D I'm in a very good mood today, don't ask me why :P Oh, by the way to all you guys who asked this question, Peeta does have a British accent :P Also, check out my poll on my profile! Kay? Let's start!

Katniss POV

It's been 3 days since the incident at the cafe. I've been pretty quiet, kept to myself, and mostly avoided Peeta. He keeps texting, calling and trying to talk to me. But he doesn't understand. I'm REALLY embarrassed. People have been whispering behind my back, giving me looks. I wouldn't even talk to Johanna. She's pretty worried.

" Katniss, tell me what's wrong.". She had asked the day before.
I gave her a fake smile. " I'm fine!". I told her. She pestered me for a while, but the she dropped it. She's still concerned though.

I'm on my way to Music, my last class of the day. I'm sorta torn, cause it's my favourite class, but none of the gang are in it, only Peeta. And I really don't need to be avoiding him for the whole class.

" Hey, Kat! Wait up!".
I turn around to see Madge, running after me. I smile. " Hey!". She smiles. I suddenly remember something, and clap my hand over my mouth.
" Oh my god! I was meant to text you!". I say. She shrugs her shoulders.
" It's ok. I thought you might not after.. you know.". I nod sadly.
She looks me in the eyes, searching my soul.
" How are you Kat?".
I sigh. I don't have to lie to her, she was there.
" It's... really awkward. You know, avoiding Peeta, avoiding Glimmer,".
She nods. " What class you in now?". She asks, changing the subject. " Music.".
Her eyes light up.
" Me too!". She beams. I smile.
" Thank god!". I put my arm around her. She giggles, and we walk into the class. We take our seats in the middle, and I spot Peeta sitting next to someone, head on the desk.
" Who's he sitting next to?".
I ask.
" That's Gale Hawthorne. He's pretty cute, right?". I nod. " I suppose.". " Hey Kitty Kat!". I look up to see Thresh walk in.
" Thresh!".
I jump up and give him a hug. Me and Thresh have grown pretty close. He's really sweet. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Peeta looking really jealous. I brush it off. Thresh grins. Thresh is actually Rue's older brother, by a month,and she thinks we would make a really cute couple. But Thresh is like my best friend. It would be weird.
Thresh plops down in front of us.
" How bad is it I have to work with my little sis for the art thing?". He groans.
I laugh.
" Rues a cutie pie!". Madge interjects.
Thresh rolls his eyes. " Too you, maybe. But she's annoying as a power puff girl."
I smirk.
We stop talking as the teacher walks in, Cinna. I smile. He's the art teacher too, and really nice.
" Hello!". He says, cheerily.
We all wave, and giggle.
" Right, I thought today we would work in threes, and each of you-". He points at us all.
"-must sing a song.". Everyone groans.
" Now, I know all of you can play an instrument, so you'll play for each other.".
We nod.
" You have fifteen minutes before performance time. Go!".

Peeta's POV.

I groan and bash my head against the desk. Gale give me a sympathetic look.
" Look man, you just gotta talk to her. She'll understand." He pats me on the back.
I look up at him, frustration pouring out of my eyes.
" But she won't speak to me! She doesn't return my calls, my texts! It's all Glimmers fault!". I groan.
Gale sighs.
" Life's a bitch, ain't it?".
I roll my eyes. " If life takes the form if Glimmer Rambin, then yes, it most certainly is a bitch."
Gale chuckles. I groan. The balls on Tuesday, and Katniss won't even LOOK at me, how is am I gonna persuade her to go to the ba with me? God.
" Maybe you should go over there right now. I mean, it's class. She can't exactly run away now, can she?". Gale says.
He has a point.
" Hmm. Yeah, I think I'll do that.". I'm about to get up, when Thresh enters the room. " Hey Kitty Kat!". He says.
Katniss's face lights up.
" Thresh!".
She jumps up and... HUGS him.
I can tell I look very jealous, because, well, I am. They sit down, and I sigh, and look out of the window, until Cinna comes in.
" Hello!". He beams. We all wave, except from me, because you know, I'm pissed of at everyone today.
" Right, I thought today we would work in threes, and each of you-". He points at us all. I roll my eyes.
"-must sing a song.". Everyone groans.
" Now, I know all of you can play an instrument, so you'll play for each other.". Gale turns around.
" Cato!".
Cato turns around.
" Get over here!".
He grins, and flops down in front of us.
" You have fifteen minutes until performance time. Go!".

Katniss POV.

" Time up!". Cinna yells. We all look up, and sigh. I'm REALLY nervous. Singing? In front of the entire class? I bite my lip. Cinna turns to the whiteboard, and writes up the lost in order. I grin. I'm last. Madge groans. She's first. " Come on." She growls, dragging me to the front. I giggle and pick up the guitar, and Thresh sits at the drums. Madge steps up to the microphone.
" I'm gonna be singing Wish you were here, by Avril Lavigne.". She says shakily. She turns to us, and gives us a nod. We start to play, and I discover Madge has a really sweet voice. She finishes, and everyone applauds. Then Glimmer stands up, and sings ' Girlfriend' by Avril Lavigne. It's hilarious. She keeps throwing her hair back, and walking near Peeta. Everyone's giggling by the end.
After that I just make a mental list of everyone.
Clove: Dark Side, Kelly Clarkson.
Thresh: Hit Me Baby One More Time, Britney Spears. Now that one was hilarious. He strutted around the classroom, and wiggled his bum in our faces. Everyone was cracking up, even Cinna.
Delly: You are my sunshine, Anne Murray.

Then it's Peeta's turn.

He and Gale and Cato walk up, and whisper something to Cinna. He nods.

" Ok. The guys here are gonna do a song together. Whenever your ready." He nods.
Peeta steps up to the mic.
" We're gonna sing Everything about you, by One direction."
Then he closes his eyes, and starts to sing.

Madge's POV. ( I dunno, thought it would be Intresting :P)

Peeta closes his eyes and starts to sing.

[PEETA MELLARK]
"You know I've always got your back, girl So let me be the one you come running to, running to, r-r-running I see it s just a matter of fact, girl You just call my name I'll be coming through, coming through, I'll keep coming".

It's really cute. Peeta keeps looking at Katniss. He's like singing to her. I think she's wearing down. She's blushing like mad.

[GALE HAWTHORNE]
"On the other side of the world, it don't matter I'll be there in two, I'll be there in two, I'll be there in two I still feel it every time It's just something that you do Now ask me why I want to"

Oh my god. Gale is walking towards me. He's SINGING to me. I can feel my cheeks heating up.

[ALL]
"It's everything about you, you, you Everything that you do, do, do From the way that we touch, baby To the way that you kiss on me It's everything about you, you, you (everything about you)
The way you make it feel, new, new, new Like every party is just us two And there's nothing I could point to It's everything about you, you, you (everything about you)
Everything about you, you, you (everything about you)
It's everything that you do, do, do (everything about you)
It's everything about you."

Then their all dancing around the class. Everyone's clapping. Then Cato takes Cloves hand, and drags her up, giggling. Clove that is.

[CATO GREEF]
"Yes, I like the way you smile with your eyes Other guys see it but don t realize that it's m-my loving There's something about your laugh that it makes me wanna have to There's nothing funny so we laugh at n-n-nothing"

Then Peeta takes Katniss's hand and pulls her up. Glimmer is FURIOUS. I giggle.

[PEETA MELLARK]
Every minute s like the last so let s just take it real slow Forget about the clock that's tick-tick-ticking

Oh no. Gale's coming towards me. Before I know it, he's got my hand, and I'm standing next to Katniss. [GALE HAWTHORNE]
"I still feel it every time It's just something that you do Now ask me why I want to".

I look at Katniss.

1.
And then we start raving.

[ALL]
"It's everything about you, you, you Everything that you do, do, do From the way that we touch, baby To the way that you kiss on me It's everything about you, you, you (everything about you)
The way you make it feel, new, new, new Like every party is just us two And there's nothing I could point to It's everything about you, you, you (everything about you)
Everything about you, you, you (everything about you)
It's everything that you do, do, do (everything about you)
It's everything about you"

[GALE HAWTHORNE]
"And you have always been the only one I wanted And I wanted you to know without you I can't face it".

[PEETA MELLARK]
"All we wanna have is fun But they say that we're too young Let them say what they want".

[ALL]
"It's everything about you, you, you Everything that you do, do, do From the way that we touch, baby To the way that you kiss on me It's everything about you, you, you (everything about you)
It's everything that you do, do, do Like every party is just us two And there's nothing I could point to".

[ALL]
"It's everything about you, you, you (everything about you)
Everything about you, you, you (everything about you)
It's everything that you do, do, do (everything about you)
It's everything about you".

By the end everyone's laughing. Katniss is blushing, and it doesn't help that it's her turn.

Gale POV.

I grin as I take my seat again. That was fun! I watch as Katniss takes the mic. She looks pretty nervous. " Hi." She says nervously. I chuckle.
" I'm going to sing I Want, by One Direction.". I see a certain fire in her eyes. I notice Madge is back up singer. Madge is pretty cute. She has such pretty eyes. Katniss takes a deep breath, and starts to sing.

"Give you this, give you that Blow a kiss, take it back.
If I look inside your brain".

My eyes widen. Her voice is amazing. She's looking at Peeta, and blows him a kiss. I nudge him. He's bright red, and Glimmer's bright red with anger.

"I would find lots of things Clothes, shoes, diamond rings Stuff that's driving me insane"

She deliberately looks at Glimmer. I laugh.

"You could be preoccupied Different date, every night.
You just got to say the word You're not into them at all You just want materials I should know because i've heard When girls say...".

She runs up behind Peeta, and starts hiding behind his back, then popping up funkily, and pretty sexily too.

"I want, I want, I want, but that's crazy I want, I want, I want, and that's not me I want, I want, I want, to be loved by you".

She brushes his cheek with her fingers, then bounces back over to Thresh.

"You've got everything you need But you want accesories Got to hold it in your hand".

She holds out her hand. He goes to take it, and she yanks it away, a grin on her face. He chuckles.

"If I change the world for you I bet you wouldn't have a clue Don't you know that I can't stand When girls say..."
She leaps over towards Peeta again, and hops on the desk.

"I want, I want, I want, but that's crazy.
I want, I want, I want, and that's not me I want, I want, I want, to be loved by you".

"And now the boys say!".

"I want, I want, I want, but that's crazy I want, I want, I want, and that's not me I want, I want, I want, to be loved by you".
She jabs Peeta in the chest. He blushes.

"Be loved by you!
I wanna, I'll stay true!
I wanna, if you knew What you put me through But you want, you want, you want me to love you too!".
She runs too the front again.

"I want, I want, I want, but that's crazy I want, I want, I want, but that's not me I want, I want, I want, to be loved by you!".

"Oh, now the boys say!".

"I want, I want, I want, but that's crazy I want, I want, I want, and that's not me I want, I want, I want, to be loved by you I want, I want, I want, another girl say I want, I want, I want, and that's crazy I want, I want, I want, to be loved by you".

She then runs over, and kisses him on the cheek. Everyone cheers like mad. Even Cinna. Glimmer looks furious. She runs to the front, and grabs a mike.

" Hey! I have something to say!". Everyone turns around. She smiles.

" Peeta Mellark... will you go to the dance with me?".

Everyone goes silent.

Peeta's POV.

" Hey! I have something to say!".

I turn to face Glimmer. I'm pretty happy. Katniss just kissed me! Granted only on the cheek, but still!

Glimmer smiles, then look straight at me.

" Peeta Mellark, will you go to the ball with me?".

Crap.

" Um, I'm already going with someone.".
I lie. She doesn't look convinced.

" Really? Who?". She demands.

" Um, Um...-".

" He's going with me, Glimmer.".

I spin around, to see Katniss standing next to me. I smile gratefully. Glimmer goes red. Then the bell rings, and Katniss and I rush out. She follows Madge, where as I wait for Gale. Then, we dart after them. " Katniss!" She turns around, her blonde hair flying.
" Ya?". " Thanks.". She smiles.
" No problem. It will be fun.".
She looks sorta doubtful.
" Do you wanna go for coffee?". " Umm...". Madge nudges her, and gives her a look.
" Sure!". She finally says. I smile. I can finally explain why I said that in the video! Yes!

There you go! Now, let's say... four reviews for next chapter? And in those reviews, answer me this. Should Gale ask Madge or Johanna to the ball? I'm not sure. See ya later! :D

Oh, in the comments, tell me who your favourite band/ singer is!
