Chapter eleven up, which means you need to read it :P

I'd like to thank my reviewers 3 I love you guys so much! And thank you for doing my questions and answers! I'll still be accepting answers (yes, yes, I will), and I'm hoping to see some more since I checked how many people are actually reading my story.

It sucks when there's a lot of people reading with only a few reviews... :( It's kind of sad actually...

Anyways, enjoy your read

Kind girl POV:)

Dinner was pretty fun, everyone sharing jokes, sharing their day, just like a bunch of old friends gathering together having fun. The fun ends when Effie interrupted us to tell us dinner has ended.

"Hey, Effie, we're just having fun right now." Clove groans. I honestly don't really have any interactions with Clove, but it's funny how she groans to protest. She's about one year younger than me, but whatever.

"No, no, no. It's already 9:00pm. Bedtime." Effie shook her head with a big frown on her face. Fortunately, Haymitch kind of stopped her,

"Oh c'mon honey," DID HE JUST CALLED HER HONEY? "Let them have some fun, it's their trip to the Capitol. Relax sweetie."

"Alright, all up to you. Well I'm going to get my beauty sleep anyways. See you all later children!" Effie gave us a blow kiss and skipped away.

"Well, you children can party till when ever you want. I'm going to leave the room to you guys only, just go ahead and get partying."

Thanks Haymitch.

And he actually walked away.

Someone tapped me lightly on the shoulder; I shivered and turned my head to see who it is.

"Hey, hey, no need to be worry. It's Clove your classmate." Oh, Clove's behind me.

"Oh, hey Clove. Didn't recognize your voice because we don't talk much."

"Oh, so you're actually kind of humorous aren't you Katniss?"

"Yeah, of course I am. I mean, sort of."

"So Foxface was right after all…"

"What about Foxface?"

"Well, um, we were wondering if you want to hang out with us in the Capitol?"

"Why not! I mean, it's nice to have more friends!"

"Great! Which carriage are you in?"

"Carriage ten, second floor."

"Me too! What's your room number?"

"10203"

"Hey, I'm right across you! I'm 10204, and Foxface's 10206!"

"Nice! Freddy's right beside me, and so it Madge."

"Ok, I guess I'll see you tomorrow! I'm heading back for some rest."

"Aren't you staying for the late night party? It's in the ballroom carriage…"

"There's a party tonight?"

"Yeah! The one where you wear a nice, fancy dress. I think it's called 'your first time in Capitol'. I'm not sure, but I hope to see you there! I'm going back to get ready with Foxface." Clove left me standing stunned on the spot.

Clove's got a different type of fashion that she kept from her life in district two; Foxface's got another type of fashion she kept from her life in district 5, shiny type of fashion. District five's all about power. All that electricity has to shine and shock people, totally Foxface's style.

But my style compared to all of their styles, mine is a total looser. I don't have a style, I don't even have money to care about my style. I wear mostly the exact same thing, and it's always muddy from my day in the forest.

"Katniss? Hello?" I jumped a bit, realizing it was Peeta.

"Hey!" My only reaction. Peeta shook his head and grabbed my hand, walking rapidly fast towards the direction of our carriage.

"We're gonna get you ready for the dance. Hurry up Katniss!"

"Freddy! Stop pulling me!" I cried and groaned as he grabs my wrist and pulled me even faster to my room.

~Page break~

I'm now in my green long dress and my hair tied into a messy bun. All done in ten minutes under the urge of Peeta Mellark. I whined loudly,

"You just have to stay here and get me ready in ten minutes right?"

"Yes. I'm not going to let you miss the party."

"Is Jed there?"

"No."

"That's great." I rolled my eyes, reminding myself Jed's still keeping an eye on us. I pulled my shoes on and stood up straight, just casually.

"How do I look?" I asked him.

"You look confident, ready to go to the party."

"Alright then, let's go!" I opened the door and walked outside. Peeta caught up and whispered softly in my ear,

"I made you dress up, and I even did your hair."

I blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed by how I don't even know how to do my own hair, and it's a boy who did it for me. Peeta and me have our arms linked together. My dance partner Peeta in his black tuxedo, and me, in my only dress Peeta gave me. Peeta can't stop blabbing about helping me shop at the Capitol. I can't help wondering if he's actually a boy.

"Hey Katniss!" Madge came towards me with Gale. Now when did Madge started to hangout with Gale? Maybe she'll go and date Gale at the end. They actually make a cute couple and I'm not kidding.

"Hey Madge, you coming to the party?" I asked, standing still without walking.

"No," She shook her head, "I'm hanging out with Gale in his room."

"When did you ever start hanging out with Gale?"

"Since, I don't know, Gale's an interesting person."

"Ok, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then!"

"Okies, have fun!"

"You two have fun too!" I waved goodbye and she waved back while I continued walking down the hallways with Peeta.

"So Madge's hanging out with Gale now?" Peeta asked, still walking.

"Yeah, she's having a fun time."

"Well they should date."

"If Madge decides to not have a crush on you anymore."

"What?"

"Madge has a crush on you."

"But she can't!"

"But she can't help it."

"Ok, well she'll need to get over with it."

"And hopefully she will."

Suddenly a loud voice interrupted us…

"Katniss! Freddy! Hey guys!"

I turned my head back to see who it is. There's a young lady with curled ginger hair in a silver gown embellished with sequins and lace trim at the bottom. Obviously that's Foxface. Beside her stood another girl, dressed in a golden gown, plain but shiny, black long hair and pale skin. I'd say that's Clove.

"Hey Foxface! Hey Clove! You two ready to party?" I asked, stopping our little walk again. Foxface grinned as Clove answered for both of them, "Yes. Let's go! Oh, and I see, you got yourself a dance partner, nice!"

"Um, he's my cousin." I said, trying to laugh.

"Still counts as your partner. Anyways, let's keep walking girl!" Clove smiled and began to walk. Peeta whispered quietly so only I can hear him,

"Those girls are kind of crazy, but I think you'll fit with them."

"Yes they're kind of crazy, plus Clove's still 15. She skipped a grade." We kept walking down the hallways, chatting with Peeta, Clove, and Foxface.

~Page break~

It was like a twenty-minutes walk to the ballroom, how big is this train exactly?

"C'mon Katniss! Let's get partying!" Peeta called me to the dance floor. I hate dancing, but I'll do Peeta a favor. I hopped down to the dance floor and danced with my little group of four people, including me of course.

Clove and Foxface danced their little dance while I tried following their moves, and Peeta stood there grooving to his own moves which are kind of funny, I wish I recorded him dancing. Someone bumped my elbow, I jumped, turning my head to see who it is.

"Hey Jed!" I smiled.

"Look, it's Katniss on the dance floor! I thought you don't dance!" Jed smiled, standing beside his bunch of friends.

"Oh Freddy brought me here."

"Of course it's him, your outgoing cousin."

"Haha, alright, we're gonna have some fun."

"Ok, see you guys later!"

"Wait, Jed, I thought you weren't coming to the dance."

"Oh yeah, that's what I told Freddy. If he knows I'm coming, he won't come."

"Why not?"

"We, look alike…"

"Oh. Right. Okies, see you then, bye!"

"Ok! See you!" Jed waved goodbye at me and walked away. Peeta walked to me and asked, "Who was it?"

"Oh, just your brother dropping by." I shrugged casually and kept dancing.

"Hey, you wanna get some refreshments?" He asked, already heading towards the refreshments bar. I shrugged and nodded, bringing Clove and Foxface.

It's much, much, much quieter outside the dance floor. Do they have like, a soundproof force field or something?

Peeta handed me a can of ice-cold coca cola. I haven't had coke for a few years, no money to buy junk stuff obviously. Peeta passed down two more cans for Clove and Foxface. Just then I heard loud high heel clicking noise. Ugh, it's probably the two girls Glimmer and Cashmere, from grade eleven I think. They're honestly not in my grade, so I'm guessing they're in grade eleven or twelve. Why would they chose to come to the poor district instead of staying in their rich and luxurious district one?

"Hey girlies!" Glimmer greeted in her pink short, over sexy dress. Ugh, district one fashion style.

"Hey Glims!" Clove and Foxface greeted.

"So, what's up?" Glimmer and Cashmere asked.

"Not much, just grooving." Foxface smiled.

"And you two got yourself a new friend and a hottie too." Glimmer said, fluttering her eye lashes. Ugh.

"Are you miss Katniss Everdeen?" Cashmere asked me, sweet and nice voice.

"Yes, that's me. Katniss." I answered.

"I'm Cashmere from grade eleven, and that's my bestie Glimmer from grade eleven."

I knew they're grade eleven!

"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's get back dancing!" Cashmere grabbed my arm and pulled me back onto the dance floor and led me through every music. Cashmere smiled and said, "You've got to know how to dance if you want to be a girl!"

"Yeah, ok. Sure. I'm more of a boy." I sighed. I honestly have no rights to be a girl.

"Oh, cheer up Katniss! Glimmer and me will help you!"

"Thanks Cashmere."

"Just call me Cash."

"Okies."

"And we're going to get you the right guy, or, are you already dating?"

"Um, my cousin from France is my buddy so far, and he won't be happy if I'm dating someone else while he's here."

"You two can't date though, you two are cousins."

"He already has a boyfriend too, Gabrielle from France."

"Oh, that's ok. We'll get you the right guy later. Oh hey! Look! Glimmer and the other girls are back! And your cousin! What's his name again?"

"Just call him Freddy."

"Ok! Nice name he's got there. What's his full name?"

"Frédéric Leblanc."

"That's him? The exchange student from France?"

"Yep, that's him."

"Oooh. He's super hot."

"But he already has a girlfriend."

"That's the sad part."

"Yes, so, you know Clove's already dating someone?"

"No."

"She's dating Cato in grade eleven."

"That's cool."

"She never told you that?"

"I'm just beginning to know her. The first time I've ever talked to her besides homework is tonight."

"Wow. Well, Clove and Foxface are amazing."

"I know! So are you and Glimmer!"

"Thanks Katniss!" We grinned at each other. Honestly Glimmer and Cashmere aren't that mean. The girls and Peeta joined in on the dance floor, all of us having a fun time dancing, but not what I do usually. We followed the lyrics of the song, making up our own moves, with our group getting larger with actual Capitol citizens. I'm amazed how they knew all the lyrics to the songs, Glimmer and Cashmere. We kept dancing until Haymitch came in and turns off the music.

"You kids know what time is it?" He shouted.

"No." Glimmer smiled answering.

"Well it's 4:00pm, and the supervisors decided to let you all have some rest before going for dinner."

"NO!" Everyone complained loudly. Haymitch shook his head and said,

"No, we've all decided."

"But Haymitch, you can't do that to a bunch of teens." Cashmere frowns, still having her voice sweetly spoken.

"Please Haymitch? We would really appreciate that." Glimmer adds. I can see this method starts to work on Haymitch.

"Haymitch, I think you should let us stay." I encouraged myself to speak up.

"And why is that, sweetheart?"

"Just like you said to Effie, we should have fun since it's our trip to the Capitol."

"Alright. Fine. But we're going to district two and one tomorrow, just stopping for a little while."

"Thanks Haymitch!" I smiled. He walks away and everyone grinned at me for helping out, some of them even said thanks. I honestly think I deserve more than that, but whatever.

"Katniss, did Haymitch said we're visiting district 2 and 1 tomorrow?" Clove asked.

"Yeah. It's your hometown isn't it?" I nodded.

"Yep, where my mom dumped me out of her house and send me to district 12."

"No, Clove, tell her the whole story." Foxface urged Clove to tell me the whole story. Yeah I really need to hear the story why they chose a poor district.

"Ok fine. But you promise you won't tell anyone." Clove sat down on the floor, on the dance floor, which is kind of crazy. I crossed my finger, "I promise."

"Alright. I'll tell you the whole story. So you know how I came to district 12 in grade 8 right? High school first year. Yes. You do. And you know Cato came in grade 9? Yes, you know that too." Clove stopped talking and her face bright red.

"Yeah, and I know you're dating him." I said, causing her to feel more embarrassed.

"I am dating him. Anyways, I'll continue the story, no questions and interruptions until the end."

"Alright, continue your story."

"So Cato's known me since I was a baby, we grew up together, and we have a very strong friendship. He taught me how to throw knives, set fire, and fight. I love him as a brother of my own, but that was when we're still young and innocent, he was five and I was three, and we're so competitive you won't even believe it. But everything started changing when we both went to school, like, I love him more than a brother. Cato went to school two years before me, and you know how we're competitive, so I decided that I'll go to school one year early so I took the exam and passed. Cato was proud of me, but in the same time he was jealous how I'm that smart. He think it's him that taught me smart, so we didn't really wreck our friendship."

"Wait, how did you meet him?" I had to interrupt.

"I said no interruption. Oh well, I'll tell you anyways. I belong to a rich family back in district 2, and I was just swinging on the swing when he walked out of the forest." Just like me walking out of the forest into Peeta's backyard.

"So that's how you met him?"

"Yeah, that's when I was like one or something and I was just wondering alone in my backyard. So I was really impressed with Cato how he went into the forest alone and he was only three. That's how we met, and he decided to take me into the forest where, well, he made a little training area…"

"Ok, continue your school story."

"So we started school, with him still one grade ahead and two years older. One day I heard from my other classmate how she like this boy so much she wants to date him. I know, we're only like grade three or something, and she already wanted to date someone. But I didn't know what 'dating' means, so I asked Cato. He told me it means you like someone a lot and you just want to be with the other person all the time you don't want to leave him. I didn't quite understand yet so I forgot about what it means until Cato and me grew into a way too strong friendship. We're like more than best friends, it's more into, you know, that way. In grade seven we spent most of our time together, we camped in the woods in our childhood training area, we would hangout by the lake on the weekends, it's all pretty fun you know, hanging out with your super best friend. At the end of grade seven, Cato asked me out. I was shocked and surprised, I asked him why and he said he love me. I suddenly remembered how I love him as a brother before and how the type of love changed when I grew up, but I didn't accept it right away. He got kind of sad. He told me, just three words that would convince him that I love him. I didn't say it right away, just being myself, stupid. He frowned and said he had to go and he never came back to school again. I was feeling all lonely and miserable, so I asked his mom where did he go, and she told me he went to district 12 to study. I came here because Cato came to district 12, that's why."

"What happened then?" I asked, enjoying the story from Clove.

"I came to district 12 and looked for Cato, and I found him sitting by the river in the forest. He was sad, and he also looked miserable. I walked up in front of him and yes, I kissed him, for the first time in my life and I said I love him more than he could imagine. He smiled, and I smiled. He kissed me, again and again, and I'm sure you don't want to hear the rest of the story, or you'll be grossed out."

I had a sudden flashback… Just a sudden flashback…

~Flashback~

I was thirteen, Prim was still young too, dad died two years ago, and mom's still dropped out of life. I was in the forest, walking quietly, bow mounted ready to shoot. I jumped a bit when I heard talking voices… It was a girl and a boy, a girl telling the boy how she loves him a lot, and they started to, um, what people call, make-out. I was jealous of how she has free time to spend with another person while me, Katniss Everdeen, has to hunt and survive. I was also jealous of how she found her right person, I was sad, until Gale came and comforts me…

~Flashback over~

"Katniss? Hello?" Clove shook my shoulders, checking to see if I'm still alive.

"Yeah? What?" I asked. She laughed and said,

"Nothing, you just seemed to be daydreaming."

"Yeah, it's nothing though. Hey, why did Foxface came to district 12?"

"You can ask her the story later on today. I think she's already back in her room, too tired I guess."

"Oh well, I'll save the story for later on today then."

"Yes, good choice." Clove and I grinned at each other. Clove's like a friend you could trust forever, Foxface seems fun too, Glimmer and Cashmere aren't that bad after all. I guess I'll be fine if Madge actually leaves.

Please review and hopefully I'll see some choices about the ending of the story ;) Favor and follow if you would too ;) (I know the story's not the best, but every writer spend LOTS and LOTS of time trying to write a good story)
