Bonus scene #2- Prom night

~2 years later~

Katniss stares at herself in the mirror. Prim did great at helping her pick out her dress. It’s a purple gown that flows to her ankles. It’s two layers; the inner layer is a short piece with sparkling glitter and the other layer is a two-piece chiffon material that connects to her wrist. “It’s beautiful Prim,” Katniss says.

“Now go!” Prim says with a smile. She leads her sister down the steps where Peeta is waiting. “Wow!” he exclaims. “You look great Katniss.”

Katniss blushes and pulls out a boutonniere and fixes it on Peeta’s jacket. Then Peeta takes out a matching corsage and slips it on Katniss’s hand. “Come on, we need to leave now if we don’t want to be late.”

Today is Prom Night, nobody asked Katniss out so Peeta thought he’d do the honors. As they drive down the dusty road and turn into the school’s parking lot, Katniss could feel a thousand eyes staring at her. Everyone knew what happened, some pitied her while others made stories. Katniss could never escape the prying eyes and started getting anxiety and panic attacks. She could feel her heart beating faster and her palms sweating.

“Peeta, turn around.”

“What? Why?”

“I don’t think I can do it.”

Peeta turns and sees Katniss shaking. It hurts him to see Katniss like this; he takes a U-turn and drives away from the school. But instead of turning right at the stoplight as usual, he drives pass it.

“Peeta, what are you doing?”

“I promised you that we’re going to have a fun night and I’m going to keep that promise.” He parks the car by some trees and they step out together. Katniss recognizes this place; it’s the meadow. She hasn’t been here in 2 years because of her fear of abduction. Peeta holds her steadily as they walk through the flowers, careful not to step on them.

“Remember this place?” he asks.

“Of course I do Peeta.”

The stars are glittering like jewels, Katniss smiles, something she hasn’t done in a while. “Dance with me Katniss?” Peeta asks.

Katniss blushes, she can barely do a twirl without stepping on someone’s foot. “Okay…” She places one hand on her brother’s shoulder and another on his waist. Peeta does the same. They start to sway a little, moving in circles. “We don’t even have any music Peeta.”

“You could always sing.”

Katniss feels her cheeks heat up, there’s no way she’s singing. Not again…
