Nursing Student aka Coffee Obsessed

He smiled as she visibly lit up over the mention of his dog, it was rather adorable. “Well maybe you’ll just have to come pet mine then?” He suggested with a lope-sided grin. He wasn’t sure what made him say that and his breath hitched a little as he waited to be rejected. “German Shepherds are a great breed, what was their name?”

The smile on his face grew wider, “oh yeah I love John Wick. That’s an awesome idea” he nodded along. He rubbed the back of his neck, “yeah, I’m probably borderline obsessed. I went as Goose from Top Gun last year with my dog Maverick.“ He laughed at the memory.

“Isn’t he though? And I honestly can see where he came from cause I can’t promise I wouldn’t do the same if someone took out my dog.” She winked playfully. “Thanks,” Alex smiled brightly. Her eyes widened a bit at his words, leaning forward a bit. “Really? That’s so cool! And refreshing to be honest, most only go as current pop culture characters. Not to mention the fact that you took your dog with you. You know I’ve been dying for years to get a jacket like Charlie’s?” Her head tilted to the side a bit. “What kind of dog is Maverick?”

Archie: Not going to happen, if you come with me you use your own legs.

ALEX: ah well that sucks

Archie: Yes it will help me sleep

Archie: want to attach yourself to me?

ALEX: i usually just read my textbooks and that puts me to sleep XD

Archie: You aren’t the only one

Arche: Lots on my mind now

Archie: Off for a run!

ALEX: A run?!

ALEX: @ midnight?!

He nodded along “Alright you’ve definitely got a point there. Although if you did ever had bed hair I didn’t notice.” He gave a shrug and smiled, “what can I say, James Bond is awesome.” He paused for a moment a small smile on his face before adding “Lexi? I Like that.” His smile grew and he nodded, “It’s nice to meet you too Lexi.” He didnt want the conversation to be over so soon, “So are you a big movie fan then?”

“James Bond is awesome. Him and John Wick are my favorites for sure.” She nodded in agreement. Alex then smiled softly at his words, shrugging. “Thanks, I actually went as ‘Lexi’ Luthor one year for Halloween.” The blonde laughed at the memory, hugging her knees to her chest. Her smile morphed into a grin when he spoke, a light blush tinting her cheeks as she nodded. “Massive, I’m a self proclaimed movie nerd. What about you?”

After aa really busy few hours Archie needed to switch off for a while so he made his way to the park and headed for his favourite bench, that’s when he noticed someone was on it which he didn’t mind at all.  Walking over to her he stood waiting for the chance to say something.  “ Sorry, do you mind if I sit down?”  He asked smiling, he just wanted to sit here and finish off some artwork he was working on.

“Oh yeah, no sure go ahead.” Alex nodded, swinging her feet off the bench and folding them up underneath her. “Sorry, I kind of just sprawl out wherever I am, bad habit.” She laughed at herself. Keeping one earbud our, the blonde glanced at the young man. “Watchya working on? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“ I am talking about if you were to go do it to someone you didn’t know.” He replied laughing as he looked at her stroking the puppy.  “ She really hasn’t got a name yet because she’s looking for a home”

“Ohhhh, I got ya.” Alex replied with a laugh. Her eyes widened and she dramatically covered her ears. “No no no, do not tell me that this cute pup needs a home because I will want to adopt her and my living situation wouldn’t allow it.”

Oliver needed inspiration. He was down to the last few songs on his album and for whatever reason, they just weren’t coming out right. Everything sounded flat, which to Ashers point, didn’t have enough depth. Whatever. As he walked through the park, the sound of the other singing drew him in. Ignoring her request, Oliver stood still in front of him. “You sing professionally?”

ALEX: It’s nearly midnight and I’m wide awake

ALEX: That line from Owl City ‘far too tired to fall asleep’ is really speaking to me rn

I’m at a loss for a costume and what to actually do for the big night. Like is it weird to dress up without a kid or not being in my twenties anymore? I’m hoping to just go to a Halloween store and make a decision there. Please what do you think, suggestion wise or if you want to come along? Both would be great.

“Not sure if I can technically be called a kid since I’m 21, but I’ll totally dress up with you if you want.” Alex offered with a shrug. “No one can convince me that you’re too old to dress up, I will be dressing up for Halloween no matter what. Heck, I dressed up as Supergirl one year...and since my eye doctor appointment was on Halloween they got to check Supergirl’s eyes.” She laughed at the memory. “I have a few hours to kill in between classes if you’re free to head out now.”

Blake gave a small smile at her question, “We’ve had some classes together.” He started, carefully explaining, “I uh, I sat behind you in Biochem last semester and I think we have Human Anatomy together this semester” he said absent mindedly tapping the text book he was holding and trying to act casual. A very serious expression crossed his face as he meant forward, dramatically glancing left and right before making eye contact, “you caught me, I have a secret soft spot for boy bands”.

A lightbulb seemed to go off over Alex’s blonde head, facepalming herself. Duh. “Of course, I should’ve known that. I knew you looked familiar, but I wasn’t quite sure and I didn’t want to be wrong.” She laughed softly. Her pen tapped his textbook. “How’re you liking the course so far?” Alex leant towards him when he leaned towards her, gasping dramatically at his ‘confession’ before she looked around. “I knew it.” She whispered, smirking slightly. “You’re secret’s safe with me,” Alex mimed zipping her lips shut. “But now that I know your secret, I just realised I don’t know your name which is completely wrong if you ask me.”

“Yeah?” Her eyes briefly drifted over his face, he looked vaguely familiar... “Hey, if this comes across as weird just tell me but, have I seen you somewhere before?” Maybe she was imagining things but she didn’t think so. Alex nodded with a smile. “Of course, those books certainly don’t get any lighter huh? I think I might have back problems when I’m finally done with college.” She took out her other earbud and shoved it into her pocket, shrugging with a smirk. “What can I say? I’m a sucker for boybands. What about you? I mean you at least recognised the song so, I’m curious now.”

Blake had been walking through the park reading one of his anatomy text books he liked getting some fresh air in when he could. But when he heard someone singing NSYNC he couldn't help but stop and look up from his book, one eyebrow quirking up and a small smirk covering his face. When he heard them ask him to move he jokingly looked at the floor before taking a deliberate step, one foot to the right and straightening himself up to full height. “Is this better?” He asked with a smile.

Alex smirked when she saw the young man’s deliberate step, a brow arching. “Are you sure you’re not in engineering cause I think that was probably a perfect foot you just stepped there.” She pointed to his feet with her pen, before setting it between her teeth. “And yes very much so, listen if you want to sit while you read that,” The blonde pointed to his anatomy book. “I’d be happy to share the bench.” She offered, swinging her legs off of the bench and tucking them under her before flashing a smile. “I don’t bite, I promise.”
