    Summary

    "Sydney, right? Can I talk to you a minute?" Lip asks, nodding his head for her to follow him off the path and into the quad.

    She frowns, but does so anyway. "How do you know my name?"

    "People say you're smart. Smart like me, smart."

    She squints at him and frowns like he's just shit his pants. "Bitch, are you serious? This is MIT, everyone's fucking smart. And who the fuck are you anyway? The reincarnation of Galileo? A descendant of Einstein?"

    Summary

    The whole point of a food tour is to try great food, that's obvious. Still, Sydney Adamu didn't expect to have the best meal she ever had, and she definitely didn't expect to tell the guy about it.

    "Hi, hey, uh, sorry, Carmen, right? Berzatto? Great, awesome, I just had to let you know that, um, you made the best meal I ever had tonight. I'm not gonna take all your fucking time and I'm really sorry for, um, bothering you, but I'm gonna remember that shit forever. Even when I fuck off and die, or forget my own name, my tongue and my brain are gonna know that dish, your dish."

    And she was being sincere. She didn't want anything from saying that. But somehow it led to another taste of the best meal she ever had. And then seconds. And thirds.

    Summary

    Coriolanus walks out of the cabin right after Lucy Gray does. She never gets away.

    Well, she does, at first...but it turns out, surviving in District 12 is trickier than she imagined.


    'If I come back here a second time,' he says desperately, 'will you be down the mines? Worse?'

    'What's worse than being down the mines?' she retorts. She hates that he's seeing her like this, poor and pitiful.

    'I don't know, entertaining some rich man.'

    'There are no rich men here, sweetheart, this is District 12,' she says and she sees his jaw clench.
