Thank you so much for all the reviews. We have almost reached 60! So sorry I didn't update for a long time, I was at my brother's friend Johnny's house. It was quite fun. I also have had no time to go on the computer and I have camp this week. Plus school starts on the fourth so don't expect too many updates. Anyways, on with the story. I realize last chapter I forgot Johanna's dress so I will describe it in here.
Katniss pov
"Cinna?" I asked.
"Hey katniss. I am your stylist."
"Aren't you a fashion teacher, not a stylist?" I asked him
"I was a stylist before I came to teach here." He answered.
I made an o sound and quieted down.
He brought out his makeup and told me to close my eyes. I did and I could feel him putting eye shadow on my eyelids. I couldn't feel anything for a little bit and then I could feel him putting something on the left side of my face down to my collarbone. He then put something on my lips and blush on my cheeks.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now."
I opened my eyes and looked in the mirror. The person staring back was not me.
She had smoky eye makeup, light pink lips, and cheeks that were full of life. But the most beautiful thing was the design on the left side of her face. It was silver beads in a flame design that reached down to her collarbone, with silver paint lightly airbrushed on top of it.
"Thank you so much, cinna." I got up and hugged him.
"Hey, we still have to do your hair."
I sat back in the chair and cinna grabbed a hair brush. He started brushing my hair and eventually pulled it into some sort of thing. He sat back to admire his work and I looked in the mirror. I had a bun on top of my head with lots of little braids wrapped around it and my bangs hanging loose.
I stared at my reflection in awe. I was beautiful. I jumped out of my chair and hugged cinna.
"Hey now, don't want to mess up your hair."
I backed away from him and blushed. He made a couple tweaks to my makeup and hair before finally backing away. "Finished. Now you look gorgeous."
I really thought I looked gorgeous. I saw that all the other girls were done too so I told them we should probably get going. They all agreed and we walked out the door to the dance.
While walking I looked at the others makeup. It was pretty much the same as me, but each girl had a different type of design on their face. They all matched their dresses.
Glimmer's was a small pair of hot pink lips right beside her eye.
Clove's was a medium sized red paisley design that went from the side of her eye to her forehead.
On Annie's face were blue waves on her cheek.
Madge had a light blue heart on her cheek.
Johanna had a black spider web design to match her black lace dress.
After walking for 5 minutes we came to the auditorium where the dance was being held. We walked in after giving the man our tickets. The auditorium looked amazing. It had strobe lights in all the corners and the music was amazing.
We looked around the room for our dates and found them dancing very weirdly in the middle of the floor.
"I don't know if I want to call them our dates." Madge said. We laughed. I walked into the middle of the guys little dance group and shouted over the music.
"You guys aren't going to have dates if you keep dancing like that."
They all stopped dancing and shoved their hands in their pockets, whistling like they didn't know what I was talking about.
"You guys are lucky you're cute." I said.
"Aw, she thinks we are cute. Katniss, don't you have a boyfriend?" thresh teased.
I rolled my eyes at them and dragged peeta away from his little posse. We started dancing near the edge of the crowd for a bit before I told him I was going to find the girls. I found them dancing with their dates.
"Sorry guys, I need to borrow my girlies for a moment."
They tried to protest but I shot them one of my signature death glares and they backed off. I started walking towards the bathrooms and they followed. Once we were all in and nobody else was there I started talking.
"Okay girls, we need to find a way to get some people together." I looked at Madge and Johanna when I said that and they got the message.
"So what are we gonna do? It's not like we can just tell them to ask them out." Glimmer said.
I thought about it. We couldn't tell them to ask them out, but we could drop subtle hints about it.
"Actually, we can. Kind of. We can drop subtle hints to kind of tell them the idea." I told them.
"That's not a bad idea brainless." Johanna told me.
"I don't know about you, but I'm hungry." Clove said.
"Clove, you're always hungry." Glimmer said to her.
Clove just shrugged and turned to walk out of the bathroom. Glimmer followed her which turned into all of us following her. We walked to the snack bar and ordered 6 bags of chips and 6 cokes. We turned around and leaned on the counter, waiting for our food and beverage.
"Okay, I have 6 cokes and 6 bags of chips." A voice from behind us said. I turned around. A guy was standing there holding our food. Annie reached for it but he pulled it out of her reach.
"Give us our food, weirdo." Johanna told the guy.
"Not until I know your names." He said back to her with a smirk on his face.
"Glimmer, Annie, Clove, Katniss, Johanna, Madge." Clove told him, not bothering to point to us.
"What amazing names. I wouldn't mind getting a hunk out of any of you. What do you say, Blondie." He asked at Madge.
"Umm, I have a date." Madge managed to say.
"How about any of you lovely ladies?"
"No." clove said simply.
"And why would that be? I mean, I'm very good looking so you must have a reason."
"1: because we don't date jerks 2: because we already have dates and boyfriends." Glimmer said.
He looked around defeated before giving us our food and turning around.
"Wait." Annie's voice sounded out. "We gave you our names, what's yours?" she asked him.
"Josh." He answered before turning to another customer.
Glimmer looked around the room before walking to a free table. We walked behind her and sat down.
"Hey clo, what time is it?" I asked her. She looked at her phone before answering me.
"It's 10:30. We should probably dance with our dates after we finish this food though."
"Yeah. They'll think we were neglecting them." Madge said. We laughed and finished our food in silence. Once I was done I got up to throw out my garbage.
On the way I ran into peeta. Not like I saw him, more like literally running into him.
"2 times in 2 weeks katniss. You really need to watch where you're going." He said. I laughed.
"Well hello to you too." He wrapped his arm around my waist and we walked to the garbage can.
After I threw my trash in, he turned my head so that I was facing him and leaned in. I closed my eyes and focused on his warm, sweet lips. His tongue grazed my lips and I parted them for him. He slid his tongue in my mouth and our tongues danced perfectly with each other.
"Well this is just so romantic, kissing by a trash can." Johanna said from behind us.
We pulled away from each other and blushed.
"Way to ruin the moment Johanna." Peeta told her. She just shrugged.
"Sorry to ruin your moment, but we need to borrow katniss. It's really important."
"One sec peeta."
Johanna grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the bathrooms. She pushed open the door and pulled me in. she turned around and locked the door while I walked around the corner.
I gasped. Sitting against the wall crying her eyes out was clove. I rushed to her side and kneeled down beside her.
"Don't bother trying to calm her down. We have been trying for a long time. She won't even tell us what happened." Somebody said from behind me.
I turned around and saw all the other girls there now. I faced clove again and grabbed her wrists. She tensed up.
"Clove. You need to calm down." She didn't stop crying. "Clove, you need to calm down. Look at me." She turned her head up and looked at me. "Good. Now you need to tell us why you're crying."
She sniffed and started talking in a small voice.
"Well, after we finished eating, I went to go find Cato. Sniff. I saw him and started to walk towards him when this girl walked right up to him and kissed him. And he didn't pull away! So I ran to glimmer and then ran here."
I pulled her into a hug and stood up so somebody else could sit down when I heard a knock on the door. Assuming it was just a person who had to go, I opened the door. A girl stood out there looking antsy.
"Yes?"
"Is clove in here?"
"Yes."
"Can I please see her? It's really important."
"Sure." She didn't respond but walked into the bathroom and turned the corner. I followed. Clove heard the footsteps and looked up. She visibly tensed up.
"Hey clove." The girl started.
"Why did you do it?" she whispered. Do what? Did she kiss Cato?
"Delly told me that Cato really liked me and that he dumped clove so I went up to him and kissed him. I saw clove run away and I pulled away. Cato stood there, frozen. I clapped my hands in front of his face and immediately apologized. I told him about delly and he thanked me."
"Wait, delly told you that he liked you?"
"Yeah, I used to be best friends with her until last year when she kissed my boyfriend."
Clove heard this and stood up. She went for the door before glimmer stopped her.
"You can't go out there looking like that. We have to redo your make up."
Clove sighed but sat down in a chair and waited for glimmer to be done her make up.
As soon as she was done, clove jumped up and rushed out the door.
