“I looked down at one, then the other, then back up. “Are you Ji Chang Wook–ing me right now?”

Hell nah

“We got a surprise upgrade to a VIP room, for example, because my dad’s surgery was the ten-thousandth one they’d performed.”

Why is she dumb bro. Ik some things are obvious to the reader but if I were in that situation it would be obvious to me. Also how tf does she not know how to use an Uber? Like u didn’t leave the house often so that means u don’t know how to use an Uber? Lies no one is this dumb.

“
But I was so angry I didn’t care. “I don’t even know what to do right now,” I said. “But I know one thing for sure. If Dad dies? If your trip to the beach kills our father? You will never see me again—guaranteed.”
“If my trip to the beach kills our father,” Sylvie said, “we’ll be even. Because your trip to the mountains killed our mom”

BACK UP SYLVIE THATS INSANE THING TO SAY

“All you need is one. What about Liza McGee? She’s cute.”
Charlie could not disguise his horror. “She’s, like, nineteen!”
I shrugged. “That’s legal enough.”

HELL NAH

“Then, for a grand finale, I made him do a close read with me of Ji Chang Wook executing a perfect Korean drama cool-guy kiss—slowing the clip down frame by frame and pausing to point out “nuances, subtext, and emotional body language of the kiss journey.”

Ji Chang Wook mentioned 😍

He said something abt eating cereal w water which was absolutely disgusting

“Here’s the thing. Honestly, in that moment, I just wanted to go home. “Charlie?” I said. “No.”
Then I stood up and walked over to my bags.
Charlie followed me. “No?”

THANK YOU.

“I tried to make the shift: today, apparently, he thought I was dazzling. And now, also, after reading my stuff: someone he wanted to hire.”

Self respect where

“Should I believe you?” I asked, mostly to myself.
“I can’t tell you what to do,” Charlie said. “But I have yet to mention the bears.”
“Seriously?” I said.
“It’s cool,” Charlie said then, calling my bluff. “I can tell you prefer to be”—he looked around—“alone.”

Is she brain dead? Yk what I thought she was joking but she being fr who the hell falls for that

“As Nina and I exchange details about tomorrow, I wonder if she would feel the same way about me if she knew I spent the last ten years of my life in prison.”

“So after, when he whispers, “You love me. Real or not real?”
I tell him, “Real.”

“What has been proposed is that in lieu of eliminating the entire Capitol population, we have a final, symbolic Hunger Games, using the children directly related to those who held the most power.”
All seven of us turn to her. “What?” says Johanna.”

“Finally, he can see me for who I really am. Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly.
And I hate him for it.”

“I’ve just reached the door when his voice stops me. “Katniss. I remember about the bread.”
The bread. Our one moment of real connection before the Hunger Games.”

I miss him so badly it hurts.”

Me 2 bro

“song.”
“Not you. Your father. He heard him singing it one day when he came to trade at the bakery. Peeta was small, probably six or seven, but he remembered it because he was specially listening to see if the birds stopped singing,” says Haymitch. “Guess they did.”
Six or seven. ”

Six seven 😜

“They could still escape through the train tunnel to the square,” says Beetee.
“Not if we blow it up,” says Gale brusquely. His intent, his full intent, becomes clear. Gale has no interest in preserving the lives of those in the Nut. No interest in caging the prey for later use.
This is one of his death traps.”

“Don’t trust her, Delly,” says Peeta in a frantic voice. “I did, and she tried to kill me. She killed my friends. My family. Don’t even go near her! She’s a mutt!”
A hand reaches through the doorway, pulls Delly out, and the door swings shut. But Peeta keeps yelling. “A mutt! She’s a stinking mutt!”

“Twelve burned down, didn’t it? Because of her,” says Peeta angrily. “Because of Katniss!” He begins to pull on the restraints.”

Bae :(.

“Snow executed Peeta’s stylist and his prep team on live television tonight. We’ve no idea what happened to Effie Trinket”

Where Effie at bro💔

“ My mother, who’s been assisting in a complicated surgery, has still not been informed of Peeta’s assault”

Wait is this why this person of the book is called the assault

“We’re sideswiped by a gurney bearing an unconscious, emaciated young woman with a shaved head. Her flesh shows bruises and oozing scabs. Johanna Mason. Who actually knew rebel secrets. At least the one about me. And this is how she has paid for it.”

“Did you love Annie right away, Finnick?” I ask.
“No.” A long time passes before he adds, “She crept up on me.”

“Is that what happened to you?” I ask Haymitch.
“No. My mother and younger brother. My girl. They were all dead two weeks after I was crowned victor. Because of that stunt I pulled with the force field,” he answers. “Snow had no one to use against me.”

I wish I could put reaction pics coz I was sobbing throughout this chapter

“President Snow used to…sell me…my body, that is,” Finnick begins in a flat, removed tone. “I wasn’t the only one. If a victor is considered desirable, the president gives them as a reward or allows people to buy them for an exorbitant amount of money. If you refuse, he kills someone you love. So you do it.”

I’ll go cry now

“Haymitch asks her if he can speak to me privately. The others leave except for Gale, who lingers uncertainly by my side. “What are you worried about?” Haymitch asks him. “I’m the one who needs the bodyguard.”

“Wash her face,” says Dalton. Everyone turns to him. “She’s still a girl and you made her look thirty-five. Feels wrong. Like something the Capitol would do.”

Love you Dalton

“I mean you put her in a bad position. Making her give Peeta and the others immunity when we don’t even know what sort of damage they might cause,” Gale had said.”

Sybau

“I looked past her to the writing on the tombstone she’d just stepped away from. There was no name on the cross, no year, but an inscription had been added.
May her memory be eternal.”

☹️

“The last time I was here,” I said, making a mental note to kill my mom for bringing us into this unprepared, “there was only one tombstone.”

DID LILLIAN DIE
