The moment Alara shut the door off in her intruder face, her heart dropped. Her heart dropped down to her stomach and her stomach shrank, constricting that little organ, making her feel so worst.

She couldn't believe she said such a thing to Coriolanus. She was never such rowdy. Never such brazen. so why does he always made her feel on edge, as if it her live was constantly i fight or flight mode.

Collecting her thoughts, Alara immediately, turned back around to face the door and ripped open the door. She need to apologize, not for his, but for her own sake. He was capitol, rude, arrogant and beautiful. But she was districts, caring, understanding, and...

Alara didn't finished her thought. She wasn't ugly, she knew that much, but she wasn't pretty either. She was just an average girl. If only she can hear the way Coriolanus heart smashed through his ribs, every time he look at her.

He has interacted with her, for a total of 3 times and every second of that interaction was nothing but miserable for him. Why? he even knew himself the reason for it. He just assumed it was because he hates her for being from districts. But that was far from reality.

Opening the door, Alara wanted to stop apologize to him. But he vanished into thin air. She wondered how can he just be gone. Maybe he just turned into snow, just like his name. Good riddance.

Kinda happy that she didn't had to apologize to the capitol boy, she took a step back into the cold apartment and closed the door. It was 7:30, her crew would be up soon. Turning around she almost screamed when she saw sleepy victor standing a few steps behind her in the middle of kitchen, shirtless, scratching his head confused.

HIs eyes travelled to the singular bag in Alara hand and then back at her face. He waited for an answer, but when he realized that he wont be getting one form her. Victor raised his brows "Why did you open the door?"

Alara sighed and walked toward the kitchen, passing by him, she answered "Plinth's send a boy He brought food", giving only half true. She wanted victor to hate on Coriolanus so she can agree. But she doesn't want victor to hate on the Coriolanus, so she kept his identity a secret, feeling as if their meeting was something. Something that was to stay between them.

Victor came and stood behind Alara, his arm wrapping around her shoulders, he peaked down from her head, seeing she was 5'7 and victor stood at 6'4. "He brought this?" He asked and alara nodded back "Tis a magnificent meal for districts. His words not mine"

"What a cunt" Victor grumbled rather loud. "Who is a cunt?" Nyx voice greeted them, and both victor and Alara turned to look at the 5'8 blonde boy walked out of the room. He was shirtless but his hairs a mess.

Victor eyes glimmered at the vision of the boy, and he immediately explained what Alara just told him. Running his hand through his hair, Nyx slowly came and stood in front of the pair. He placed a small kiss on Alara cheek "I am sorry that some jerk ruined both of your morning" and then looking up he face victor, who was still had his arms wrapped around Alara shoulder.

He get on his tiptoes and Victor bend his head, to place a sweet kiss on each other lips. Alara shimmed her body to slither from victor hold, and the moment she got free, Nyx stepped forward and took victor face in his hands, kissing more aggressively.

"When did this house become a whore house?" Inna voice interrupted them, and while nyx rolled his eyes, victor took his sweet time to let go off his pretty boy.

"Just say that you are homophobic" Victor grumbled to Inna who came and stood beside Alara, wrapping her arm around the girl waist, she shrugged at him. "I am a hater. I hate everyone and everything. I believe in equality and don't hold prejudices. Just because you like it another man straw up your hole, doesn't mean you get special attention"

Nyx chocked on his water, which came out of his nose, while Alara was speechless. It ain't the first item Inna said something unhinged but every time she opened her mouth, somewhere in distant a nun dies.

"Good god Inna" Alara chucked but that was followed by a polo strands of curses, while he glared at all four of them, specifically Inna.

"See now thats a homophobic" Inna said while pointing at polo, and all heads turned in his direction. Polo was an ass but he wasn't homophobic, so his eyes widened and he yelled "I am not homophobic"

But inna only shrugged "Prove it then. Go suck Egan dick".

"Fucking hell" Alara yelled and pushed Inna off her, her face red, and walked toward Nyx who had already started to make something to eat out of the cabbages and tomatoes and chillies. "No way i am not sucking Egan dick. That doesn't prove anything" he retorted to Inna who sat next to him on the couch and shrugged "I would happily suck Alara to prove i am not a homophobic"

"She doesn't have a dick!" Polo argued

"She does have something more interesting to offer other than dick" Inna replied with her brow lifted. Polo turned his head and looked at victor who was looking at the man who straight face. "Victor i swear to god man i am not homophobic"

"We never know!" Inna said out loud, not to polo but everyone in room and seeing how he was getting peer pressure, Polo yelled "No way. I am not sucking Egan's dick. Fuck no"

But before anyone could say anything, all of there heads whipped when they heard polo speak out from the bedroom door, his eyes stuck on polo and a frown on his face "I am concerned, is it because you arn't gay or am i just not attractive."

"Everyone please leave Egan dick alone, and come eat this stew of boiled cabbage with chillies and raw tomatoes" Nyx announced, and Alara send him a thankful look for diverging the topic off her brother manhood. And hand everyone bowls barely filled with the cabbage brew.

"How did ya boil them love. the stove wasn't working?" Victor asked Nyx, and he smiled in return "The hot water kettle over there works just fine so i used it boil water and threw cabbage along with chillin in it."

"What would we do without you" Inna kissed Nyx cheek gratefully and he chuckled back in reply only. All of them sat down on the floor, in the middle of the living room, in circle formation, seeing how there were no chairs and not big enough sofa to fit everyone.

They didn't even had any spoon and the bowls were the disposable one Alara found under the sink. So they tilt it and drank whatever the concoction was inside it.

"It taste..." Polo whispered

"Choose your next words wisely polo" Victor threatened and polo gulped down a sip of his soup and smiled over from his bowl "I was going to say that it taste heavenly",

There was a silence, a long silence until everyone but polo broke out in dark and loud laughter. Polo nonly rolled his eyes but couldn't helped the smile that came on his face "You guys are jerk"

"Only you polo. Only you" Alara replied and chuckled, polo noticed the way her eyes crinkled and he shook his head, accepting her light hearted insult with a smile.

"Well it can't get any worse than this?" Inna muttered, everyone look at her and she sighed "First meal of Capitol after starving for two days and its boiled cabbage in kettle with raw tomatoes. Can't get any worse right?"

She was looking for confirmation, but her smiled fell when Alara shrugged and replied "We are in Capitol. Not even death is the most worst thing here"

Turning her head away from them all, Alara looked out of the window and at the cold snow that was falling miserably and with no reason "But I am glad that I am not alone here. For I have my beloved snow with me"
