Hey guys! I hoped you liked the last Everlark chapter! I thought it was what the story needed because there relationship was getting no where. All exept on song that the band sing are not mine but I'll probably say that Katniss/ Peeta wrote the song and any songs I do use are really just for the lyrics and nothing else. The first song in this chapter is mine the second is by Josh Verdes. Keep reading guys!

As always read and review!


Katniss POV

After about half an hour on the edge of the cliff I finally managed to persuade Peeta not to leave the band, we emerge through the fence and back into our school with about twenty minutes before the bell for my math class rings. As I walk with Peeta at my side into the middle of the field, we see lots of flashing lights and cameras and microphones.

"Someone important must be here, unless there finally stopping the school uniforms," Peeta states and we laugh at the fact that no one has ever brought up the idea of non-school uniforms.

As we near the flashing lights I begin to hear what the paparazzi are asking Principal Snow, "where is she now? Do you know if they're dating?" Who are these people they are talking about but then Principal Snow announces, "I do not know the whereabouts or dating information of Katniss Everdeen or Peeta Mellark."

Me and Peeta freeze at the same time, we look at each other, frowning and start listening to the rest of the questions, "what about the rest of their band do they come to this school too? Does Cato Ludwig come to this school? Are they both still in hospital? Are Peeta or Katniss aware that both of their songs were recorded and put on YouTube by someone called Johanna Mason?"

At this question, I begin to walk towards them and Peeta soon follows, Johanna Mason hates my guts and I hate hers I don't know about Peeta but the fact that she posted it on YouTube really pisses me off. As the paparazzi realises that we're heading straight for them they begin to stop bothering Principal Snow with questions but ask us directly, but I notice Mr. Kravitz becoming us over from behind the music block, I nudge Peeta in the ribs and he looks to, he nods and we both change direction and head for the music block where we find Mr. Kravitz and the rest of the band. I notice Mr. Kravitz raise an eyebrow at Peeta who mouthed something back and Mr. Kravitz just nods.

"It seems that Miss Johanna Mason decided to post you guys on YouTube and now you are one of the most popular new band in America and because of this Principal Snow has been receiving multiple phone calls thinking he put the band together. I have now informed them that we are still looking for a manager but a really famous manager has offered, can you guys guess who it is?" We all shake our heads so he continues, "Mr. Haymitch Abernathy wants you to come to his office asap with an answer, what do you guys think?"

"Seriously?" Finnick asks, over-excitedly, "Haymitch Abernathy! The Haymitch Abernathy?"

Mr. Kravitz nods and recognition crosses my face, "Mr. Kravitz, isn't he the one who went into depression after his wife comitted suicide because of all the paparazzi?"

"Yeah, he's got a drinking problem hasn't he," asks Peeta, chipping in information.

"First of all, please just call me Cinna, second of all yes he was depressed and had a drinking problem, but he went to a doctor for help and now he has a new girlfriend as of yesterday, it's Effie Trinket, Principal Snow's assitant!" He says filling us in on Haymitch's personal life. "The paparazzi don't know about Effie so please don't say anything, I'll drive you to his office now if you want, it's not far just a couple of blocks away?"

I nod along with the rest fo the guys, Mr. K . . . I mean Cinna grabs his keys and we walk to his car which is directly behind the paparazzi, so after alot of flashing cameras and questions being pushed out of the way by Cinna we reach his car and with in about five minutes we're outside a tall office block. The paparzzi followed us here, so the security guards who stand outside the tall building stop them from getting to us it's really dramatic, we ask what floor Haymitch's office is on and the reception lady tells us on floor twelve. We decide on getting the elevator up instead of the stairs and arrive there before anyone can say 'we're here!' Marvel knocks on the door and we wait patiently outside for Haymitch to answer his door, when he does he smiles and invites us all in with a warm handshake.

"So, lets get straight to the point, as I'm sure you all have lessons to be attending, I want to be your band manager and if you say yes your first gig is in two days, so this Wednesday," he explains. I look at the guys, Finnick, Gale and Marvel are all nodding there heads excitedly, Peeta and I just shrug. "Okay then, just to let you know, you'll have a tuto so that we have as much time to reherse as possible, them two security guards downstairs will be with you most of the time and you have an interview at seven o'clock on the Caesar Flickerman Show to tell the world your answer. We need to start rehersing as soon as possible I have your private tutor already so after about an hour of rehersing in the studio in the basement you'll meet her andshe'll explain everything. So, Cinna could you please inform there families of this as well as Principal Snow and make sure you tell them to keep quiet about it. You five will no longer be attending Panem High, ok?"

"Ok," we all say together, including Cinna, at the same time but Peeta continues with a question. "Do you want us to go to the basement now and start rehersing?"

He nods so the band hurry up out of the office and with alot of pushing and shoving i'm standing at the front of the elevator so I get first glance of the studio, we say goodbyeto cinna who exits the elevator on the ground floor, while we continue to travel down to the basment. I cannot begin to explain what the studio looks like, it's a hundred times better than the one in my basement at home. I notice the thickness of the walls, they must be sound proof, and that there is more than one music studio, there must be other managers with other bands in this tall building. I turn around and see the guys inspecting everything in one of the studios, "You guys! This might be someone else's studio."

Finnick ignores me, Marvel and Gale point at something while they carry inspecting the things in the room ,it's only Peeta who walks over to where I stand in the doorway and points to a sign that says: 'Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Gale Hawthorne, Marvel Quaid and Finnick O'dair' all I say is, "Oh," before I walk over to the keyboard and start to test it out, I think of what song to play and decide on a song that I wrote a while ago called 'Please Stay!"

(If your wondering, I had to right a song at school and this was what I came up with)

My walls are caving,

and my world is crashing down.

The hurt I feel inside,

Is what's slowing me down.

Please, please stay,

Don't get up and walk away.

Don't give up on me now,

We'll get through this somehow.

Now i'm standing in the rain,

Surrounded by all the pain.

Because I miss you right now,

and I need you right now.

Please, please stay,

Don't get up and walk away.

Don't give up on me now,

We'll get through this somehow.

I'm begging you to stay,

Not to go another way.

Just come back to me now,

We'll get through this somehow.

Please, please stay,

Don't get up and walk away.

Don't give up on me now,

We'll get through this somehow.

We'll get through this somehow . . .

I stop playing and I see Haymitch at the door of our music studio, clapping, "well done. sweetheart. You write that?" I nod shyly but slightly angry at him calling me 'sweet heart' "Ypu should be the songwriter for the band! Anyone else write a song?" Peeta raises his hand shyly and he walks over to the guitar he's been inspecting and plays a song he calls ' Love at First Sight'

Peeta POV

Katniss has just finished singing the most amazing song, i've got butterflies in my stomach now, half way through her singing Haymitch came and listened and then he clapped and said, "well done. sweetheart. You write that?" she nods shyly but slightly but I can see anger in her eyes probably because he called her 'sweet heart' "You should be the songwriter for the band! Anyone else write a song?" Haymitch says, I raises my hand shyly and walk over to the guitar i've been inspecting and begin to play a song I wrote called 'Love at First Sight'

There she was
On a warm summers breeze
Just as free as could be
So oblivious to me
As I stand
Taking her in
Everything else seems to fade
As I get up to say . . .

This is it
This is the moment am I right or wrong?
But I've got to catch you before you are gone again.
Don't wanna rush you; I've got nothing to lose.
But I've got this feeling it should be me and you
Palms are shaking
Could this really be...my love at first sight?

Here I stand
Going out on a limb
Searching deep within
For the words to say
She just smiles
As I try to explain
Then she puts her fingers to my lips
As she gets up to say

You may not believe
But just wait and keep hope alive
Cuz its there; Oh it's real
And one day you will find

Haymitch claps again and Marvel walks over to me and mumbles "I know who that was about." I look at him and I know he knows who it was about so I mumble back, "do you think she does?" "I doubt it she's completely oblivious that very guy in this room apart from Haymitch fancies her, and before you say anything I broke up with Glimmer yesterday, I'm not to sure about Madge and Gale but I hink they're still together because they were making out earlier." Fire instantly burns inside of me, why does every single guy in the band fancy her they need to understand that she's mine, well not yet but soon she will be, I'm pretty sure if Finnick asks her out before I do there going to be inseperable. "Peeta, both you can Katniss can be the songwriters for the band and make sure that you tell Caesar that tonight, and one more thing what's the name of your band?"

"I was thinking maybe The Victors, simply because all of us are part of another team and have had many victories in it, me and Gale in the Archery team, Finnick's in the Swm team, Peeta's in the Wrestling team and Marvel's in the Basketbal team. What do you think?" Katniss suggests and I watch as Finnick jumps at the chance to agree with her I do to and then so does Marvel and Finnick.

I guess i'm never going to win over my love at first sight.
