Hey, I just love writing this story! Please reveiw!
Disclaimer: I don't own the hunger games or any of the songs I use within my story.
Peeta just blushed because we made eye contact! Stop it, Katniss! A little voice in my head says and it's right I will never fall in love ever again, I promise!
"Wow! Guys that was amazing!" Mr. Kravitz shouts, "I'll make you a deal. I'll give you all top grades every term even if your late for every class, bearing in mind you have to come though. But you have to practice as a band in Katniss' basement, at least once a week and I want to see video footage very week as proof and I think if you keep practicing you could post it on YouTube and get a record deal. What do you say?"
Gale, Peeta, Marvel and Finnick just shrug so all eyes are on me, I have major stage fright I can't sing on Stars Forver is he mad? Mr. Kravitz knows my mom and he knows all about my phobia. Everyone's eyes are still on me, I know the guys want to do it, but I just can't, "I, I, well I." I mutter and then I see the door and make a run for it, how can they put me under all this pressure? I hear footsteps behind me, but they'll never catch up because I'm the fastest runner in the school. I run and run all the way to the meadow, my secret place. I found the meadow on my first year here when I had no friends, I love it here, I occasionly practice my archery, i'm good at archery because both my dad and granddad are great at it. So I practice on the squirrels and birds, but when I come to the meadow I see a rabbit hanging ny it's foot from a tall tree. I inspect the creature, and I get the shock of my life when someone calls out, "Stealings illegal you know!"
I turn around and see Gale standing behind me with a huge smirk on his face, "come here often, Catnip?" I glare at him but not as feircly as I normally do which surprises me. "Found a soft spot for me?"
"No, and yes I come here everyday, it's the only way I can feed my family ever since my dad made it big." I burst out but quickly clasp my hands over my mouth, why did I just tell him that I only met him this morning!
"Don't worry, same here. I was gonna be a professional archer that was my dream until one day my mom rang up saying dad had left to go to Hollywood and I knew that I had to come home to my family, I can't work so I can only feed them by hunting." He explains, we both have tears in our eyes and I can't help but walk over to him and give him a big hug, his arms instantly wrap round me and we silently cry for a few minutes before Gale speaks.
"So, why did you run off?" He says wiping my tears away.
"I have terrible stage fright, I can't stand up infront of more than twenty people without wanting to throw up how does Mr. Kravitz expect me to sing in front of over a thousand people after getting a record deal."
"Well, Marvel, Finnick and Peeta, said they'd wait for us to get back and make a descision, they also said they don't mind if you say no. But Catnip, you have an amazing voice, you shouldn't be scared of showing it and if you don't take this opportunity now you may never get another." He says looking me directly in the eyes and for once I believe the person who is talking to me.
"No, I'll do it!" I say, i'm determind to give it a go because he's right it may be a once in alifetime opportunity. Gale beams and we walk over to the music block where just as Gale said Peeta, Finnick, Marvel and Mr. Kravitz are waiting for us. "I'll do it."
They all give me big hugs but Peeta's hug feels different to everyone elses hug but i let it pass. "So, go bond with each other at McDonalds across the road and i'll dismiss you from the rest of the lessons today after all you have to know your band members."
We all nod and head out we get into Peeta's Jaguar and drive across the road to McDonald's and we get to know each other, I learn Marvel has a girlfriend called Glimmer and lives with his sister Clove and his mom and dad. I learn Finnick's still waiting for his special someone and he lies alone as his family moved to Canada after he had a huge argument that involved people getting injured. Gale is also single and he lives with his two brothers, sister and mom. Peeta doesn't say much but the fact that he has girlfriend called Delly, which was the girl he was running after earlier today, and I tell everyone that i'm single and live with my mom and sister, Prim. Then, Finnick, Gale and Marvel have to leave so they say for me and Peeta to start on a duet, we both roll our eyes as they leave, "So do you want to work on a duet?"
"I don't mind to be honest," I reply. "I chose weather we should do the band or not so it's your turn to decide."
"Okay we'll work on a song, where do you want to work on it?" I immediatly know the answer to his question.
"How about my music studio at home?" He lights up at the offer, I'm not sure why but we get up and drive to my house which I guide him too. "So this is it, sorry if it's a mess but I promise the music studio isn't I'd never let that happen!" I lead him downstairs into the basement and his face looks shocked and i'm happy about it. "So shall we get started?"
He nods.
