Cynthia shuffled over to the boy, running her fingers through her hair and shaking herself off, hoping that whatever was residing in the web wasn’t on her body. “You really are Archie,” She whined, though her tone was playful and sweet, coming to stand beside him with a smile, “If I get bit by this spider it’s all your fault, and you’ve gotta suck the venom out so I don’t die.”

Noah pressed his lips together, eyebrows threading, and cocked his head at the boy’s story. “That’s, uh…that’s quite a proposal,” he said, clear amusement in his voice and in the laugh lines on his face. “I don’t think you’re necessarily obligated to go through with it, dating websites are sort of…meant to be used to test the waters. No obligations. On the other hand, if that sounds like a good time to you, no judgments over here.”

evangeline listened to the student’s tale, clearly not directed at her, though his words piqued her attention. the usual expression of apathy that her features employed was replaced by that of a smile, her lips tugging up with amusement as she paged through a heavily annotated copy of beowulf. “isn’t it obvious?” she finally responded, eyes glancing up from the lined page to the student, when his words at last ceased to fall like rogue bees from his lips. “you should sunbathe naked with me and my handsome blonde friend. it would be rude not to. and between you and i, forty-six is a tad offensive. i don’t look a day over thirty five. perhaps botox is in order after all.”

Cynthia had just been minding her own business, following the path down to the lake when she felt the familiar texting of sticky strings agaisnt her skin, and she couldn’t even control the girly reaction that came from it. She hated spiders, not because of the creatures themselves but because of those awful webs, so when she started flailing, dropping her bag and her phone to try and swat the web from her body she didn’t even care who saw, cursing and groaning as she bounced from foot to foot. “Fuck! Fuck I hate them, I hate them,” She whinned as she rubbed at her arms frantically looking over and noticing the person who had stopped to watch her dramatic dance, her cheeks flushing red and a nervous laugh leaving her mouth, “I walked into a spider web,” She mumbled, flinching when she thought she felt something crawling on her and swatted at her hair, laughing again from the embarrassment of it all, “You really should have taken the web down for me, how did you miss it?”

While everyone had been making a big deal of whether or not they were going to go camping, Archie had no doubt in his mind that he wanted to go. What the hell else would he be doing with himself? Sitting in his room and jerkin’ off? Nah, there was so much more for him to do with his time, so why waste it? Archie had just finished setting up his campsite when the shrill scream hit him. “The fuck..?” He murmured in confusion, but when he spotted the blonde he let out a little laugh.  “C’mere then, ma, lemme see if you got any bugs on you. Sorry I didn’t see that spider-web before, by the way. I was hired to be your bug killer this trip. Guess I’m doing piss poor.”

Emilie: Last time I went camping one of the acquaintances I was with kept asking me to have tent sex

Emilie: I can't wait to start anew and redeem my camping memories

Archie: did u have tent sex tho?

Willow tripped on the sidewalk wile she was looking at the sky and dropped all of her papers on the ground, “Shit…” she mumbled as she dropped to her knees to gather them. 

Archie scrambled over to the girl quickly, helping her pick up her papers as well as look at her. “You okay? Any scuffs or cuts? Gotta be mindful of the sidewalk, ma.”

’ dude, i’ve been thinking… – maybe this college shit is too much work. ’ the brunette continued to flip through the channels until she found the right one, entranced by the food network. ‘ i’m dropping out and going on cutthroat kitchen. ’

“Girl, do you even have any cooking skills? That show seems like you need to have some experience before even getting on it.”

She could have kept herself still and not bothered to do anything. However, that felt more boring than reading books. Grabbing a piece of paper and crumpling it, she threw it at the first person she saw passing by without any hesitation. ”I need to ask you something.”

He was walking back from the library when he felt the bump on his head. “The fuck?” Archie looked around, furrowing his brows. “You got a question for me?”

“Inspiration has a funny way of showing up at the worst timing for me. Like just now I thought of an amazing chord progression and I’m never going to be able to remember it on my own. Do you have a pen that I could borrow? I need to write this down ‘cause I have a feeling it’s really good.”

“S’all good, boo, I know where you’re coming from. Whenever I think up a beat it’s like my whole world fucking stops. Here,” he offered over his pen and tore a page out of his journal before hanging that over as well.

he try to be smooth as hell honestly, but he ain’t that good. 

he’s kinda weird?? wears mismatched socks on purpose for good luck & is superstitious. 

he likes dad jokes a lot

also unironically listens to desiigner & young thug

he likes making music but he ain’t confident in it yet

he also low key likes to knit himself beanies because his nana taught him how b4 she passed away

when she passed away he had to go live in foster care so he was there for three years, but when he was out at 18 he got in with the wrong crew so he could get food and survive basically, which is how he got wrongfully accused of Breaking and entering with intention to commit a felony. 

he served time for the crime that his old buddy framed him, about a year and a half, and when he was 20 he was bailed out by... HIS BROTHER. turns out his mom had another kid (his older brother) who had heard about him and took him in
