(Katniss)
After my dance with Peeta I really crave some desserts. I tell him this and we walk over, hand in hand, to the dessert table, or tableS. People greet on our way there. But one thing surprises me. Finnick and Levinia, locking lips. I look at Peeta to see if he's witnessing what I am, and he is. He doesn't look mad. He looks shocked. I'm not mad either. Finn's a good and handsome kid and us adults know they've always had a little crush on each other for a while, but I never expected this to happen. Peeta just gives me a smile and kisses my hand that's still holding his. When we get to the tables were not exactly where Finn and Levinia are, but I just catch their words from the next table where I'm at with Peeta.
"Let just pretend this never happened." Levinia says.
"Okay. It never happened." Finn agrees. "Now helps me find this peace of candy." He laughs and Levinia joins in. Just like that...nothing ever happened. I see the chocolate fountain they're poking into and it makes my mouth water and it widens my eyes, like I've never seen one before. Peeta starts laughing.
"Did you find a new love?" He jokes. "I could never." I say while also laughing.
"Good. Because you're mine." He pulls me closer to him with my hand he's holding and moves it to my lower waist. "And only mine." I move in closer to him having a new craving and kiss him with passion.
"Katniss !! Katniss !!" A woman shouts. Peeta and I pull away. The woman is Effie and she's running towards me, well somewhat since she's in heels.
"Katniss. Thank goodness I found you. One of our performers is very sick and can't perform tonight." Effie pleads.
"Okay what do you want me to do about-" then I get it. "No! No! No! Not happening!" I exclaim.
"Katniss please! Don't even pay attention to the fact that its on television! I'll even pay you!" She begs. Why would she tell me its going to be on television? It only gives me an even better reason to object.
"No. I don't need anymore money!"
"Effie, Katniss isn't really a performer. She's never sang in front of an audience really." Peeta puts in.
"I've never sang in front of more than 5 people!" I add. Effie sighs and puts her hand over her eyes in stress.
"What's going on?" Levinia asks as Finnick walks back to the table we sat at.
"Oh, Levinia you're a singer right?!" Effie eagerly asks.
"Umm, I can sing pretty well but I wouldn't consider myself a singer.." Levinia replies confused.
"Good enough!" Effie hands her a laminated paper that has a numbered list front and back that I didn't even notice she was holding. "Choose 2 songs from there to perform tonight and I'll get back to you in 5 minutes."
Effie hurries off after that and Levinia is standing there still confused. She looks at Peeta and I for help but we don't really know what to do. She's about to freak when Peeta stops her.
"Levinia, calm down. You've done it before. You're used to being in front of crowds."
"Yeah, maybe a middle school auditorium crowd, not on television in front of the entire country!!" She must've heard the television part.
"You can do it. Don't even pay attention to the cameras. Just do what you normally do when performing."
"I haven't done it in 2 years." She pleads.
"Then do what you did the last time." Peeta suggests. She sighs but nods and rushes off. I watch, just curious to see where she's going and she's going to our table. She stands beside Finn who's sitting and talking to Johanna. She's impatient and shaking her leg, but neither of them seem to notice. When she can't wait any longer she just pulls him to the side and begins talking in a panic manner.
