(Listen to the song ------>)
His blue eyes captivate me as he starts to strum. I hear girls whistle for him but his eyes stay on mine. I'm frozen. He starts to sing, his voice low, sweet. So distracting I almost didn't notice what he was singing. Break Your Heart by Taio Cruz. I didn't think it was possible for me to be so closed off in that moment but instead of breaking down and letting the words get to me, I closed him out. I put up walls I had up when my father died. To be strong for my family. But this time, the walls were for me. He cant reach me now. I break his gaze as he sings the bridge. And walk away. I could feel how blank my face was and his gaze on the back of my head. But I didn't care. When I was nearing the door, a thought occurred to me as he sang a part: I know Karma's gonna get me back for being so cold.
Karma was going to get him back. And I'd help.

After he sang a few others did to. Someone even sang the ABC song....really? When they were done, I carpooled with Delly and the girls. I noticed Finnick talking to Gale with Peeta, who didn't really seem to be listening. He got the song stuck in my head. I turn away, my face blank again. The girls were happy about what they'd done. I should be two, right? "Why are you so quiet Kat?" Annie asks, frowning a bit. I smile.
"Thinking. So what now?" I ask, they said they had a surprise for me after the Talent Show.
"Well.." She pauses for dramatic affect, I roll my eyes and Jo snorts. "We had Thresh record you singing and posted it on YouTube." She grins widely at me as my mouth drops open....they didn't...no. No.
"What?" I ask in a whisper. I could feel my cheeks burning red hot.
"You should be happy, Brainless. You have about 700,000 views in the last 30 minutes." She said showing me her phone. Sure enough, I did have that many, and it was still growing. Jo reaches over and closes my still open mouth. I wasn't that good....was I? "Of course you were." I'm thinking out loud again. "Yup." She said popping the P.
"We should throw a party!" Finnick shouts, popping a sugar cube in his mouth and throwing an arm around me. "To celebrate Kitty Kat going viral in less than an hour." I roll my eyes.
"Hell yeah," Gale said, grinning like an idiot. A cute idiot. I shake my head. Why not?
"Sure, even though I didn't ask anyone to film me." I mutter dryly. Since were already dressed up from preforming, now all we gotta do if head to Finnicks house.....or should I saw mansion. It was one of those classically build mansions, like a Castle without a moat or draw bridge. I blink up at it, shaking my head. "Damn." Was all I had to say. We went into the Fourier to set up, Annie turning on music and me setting out chips and soda. Finnick brought of the hard liquor when his parents left to go to some meeting. He made the party sound innocent when we both knew it was anything but.
"Annnnd, sent." Finnick replies. He just sent a mass text to everyone in his contacts, meaning everyone's phones in the room started buzzing, I ignored mine. Didn't want to bring my flip phone out, its just embarrassing. I feel a tap on my shoulder and see Gale standing there. He's smiling sheepishly. I notice he has a dimple on his right cheek.
"Hey, I..I have to ask..." He gets cut off by the doorbell ringing around Finnick's home. I stare at in shock. Finnick opens the door, revealing a group of boys, carrying beer. Some even eye me. They weren't ugly just not...not...nope. Not going to think about him. I turn and notice Peeta glaring at the guys as they eye me. A petty thought crept into my mind. Well then, Peeta, two can play this game. I turn back to one of the guys as he sets the beer on the coffee table. I wink at him in what I hope is in a flirtatious way before turning on my heels. Peeta's eyes are darker and his jaw is clenched. I ignore him, walking to the bathroom. Before I can shut the door, Annie follows.
