 I freeze up, every muscle in my arms pulled taut. Her lips are still brushing me ear as she pulls back my arm and whispers, "On three release the arrow." She touches my fingers gently, "One."

Her breath tickles my ear, "Two."

I can feel Katniss's eyes boring into my back, "Three."

I let the arrow fly. It lands directly in the bull's eye. Glimmer drops her arms, but still stands behind me.

"Good job, pretty boy. Even I can't get a perfect shot like that...Hmmm." She says, her breath now on the back of my neck. I drop the bow and turn to her.

"Thanks..." I say awkwardly, rubbing my neck. She smiles, showing her white teeth.

"No problem, Pretty Boy. It was...nice...helping you." She puts her hand on my shoulder and smiles. "Want to try again?" She asks, her voice low.

"Uh...Sure?" I say, unconfident. She smiles brightly, her white teeth showing.

"Load your bow," She instructs me. I do as told.

"Find your target," I do, the black bull's eye of the closest board.

"Pull back your string." I do, making sure I do it wrong.

"Here," She gently grabs my elbow, pulling it backwards.

"Now aim again," I aim at the outer circle,

"And release." I let go of the arrow and it flies through the air, hitting the out-most circle of the target.

She claps lightly, "Good job, Pretty-Boy," She puts her face in front of mine, just inches separating us.

"Now, kiss me." She whispers seductively. Oh, god. What do I say? Yes? Then I ruin my chances with Katniss. No? Then she'll kill me first. I feel Katniss's Seam eyes staring at my neck. Should I kiss Glimmer? If I did, would Katniss get jealous? It would kill me if she didn't care. I like her too much.

A.N. Will he kiss Glimmer? If he does, how will Katniss react!?

Sucky chapter. Boo.
