 "Carol?" Bill asked, a member of the Capitol Camera Crew.

      "Yes?" Carol said.

      "How about you put on a concert for District 2?" Bill suggested.

      "No way!" Carol furiously blushed.

      "Please," Bill pleaded. "for the Capitol footage and for District 2!"

      "But-" Carol began.

      "You have a great voice!" Bill said cutting Carol's sentence.

     The crew were doing their puppy eyes that Carol hated to look at. It is for a good cause, Carol thought. And I do sing good.

        "Okay," Carol announced. "I'll do it."

        Cheers boomed from every direction inside the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        Moments later, the crew had set up a stage for Carol to sing at. Carolyn was wearing a white knee dress decorated with white roses. White pearls were added at the middle of her dress. Carol's dress was strapless. Carol was wearing white high heels as well. Her blonde hair had been turned into a bun. Carolyn Faye looked like an angel sent from the gods. Carol peeked out outside and caught sight of Gale, Cinder, Ash, Clove, and especially Cato. Don't you dare mess up in front of these people, Carol reminded herself. A couple of minutes later, she was singing. 

           "I really wanna stop
            But I just got the taste for it.
            I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon.
            So honey hold my hand, you like making me wait for it.
            I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah.
    
            Late night, watching television.
            But how'd we get in this position?
            It's way too soon, I know this isn't love.
            But I need to tell you something."

            When Carol was getting to the chorus part, dancers appeared and danced in a hip-hop way. Carol couldn't help it but smile for the crowd.

             "I really really really really really really like you.
              And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?
              I really really really really really really like you                                                                                                   And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?"

             The crowd went wild. People were now following along and some were screaming "CAROL."

             "Oh, did I say too much?
              I'm so in my head.
              When we're out of touch.
              I really really really really really really like you                                                                                                  And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

             It's like everything you say is a sweet revelation.
             All I wanna do is get into your head.
             Yeah we could stay alone, you and me, in this temtation.
             Sipping on your lips, hanging on by thread, baby.

             Late night, watching television.
             But how'd we get in this position?
             It's way too soon, I know this isn't love.
             But I need to tell you something."

             The citizens of District 2 began singing chorus part along with Carolyn.

             "I really really really really really really like you.
              And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?
              I really really really really really really like you                                                                                                   And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?
