  it was probably an unusual sight , she could give them that . it’s not everyday you see a person walking their cat around on a leash . bella found it comical that she got so many looks from strangers . standing as alcatraz sniffs around , she notices another onlooker ,  and she couldn’t help but engage . ‘ what , have you never seen a cat before ? ‘

‘Can you go the fuck away, for Christ’s sake. I already told you I’m busy. I’m about to beat Fang’s high score’

              “ no . most humans don’t , “  barely  looks  offended  ,  let  alone  interested  as  she  shakes  her  head  . “  i  don’t  need  …  need  help  .  i  have  my  laptop  .  i  don’t  want  your  friends  .  they  can’t  help  me  launder  money  ,  “  she  says  ;  too  easily  ,  too  bluntly  ,  “  do  you  …  should  i  draw  up  fake  papers  ?  “

             “  i  do  .  aesthetically  pleasing  in  some  people’s  eyes   .  i’m  not  dramatic  ,  “  flat  tone  ,  completely  serious  ,  “  we  just  don’t  have  what  the  average  person  would  consider  a  normal  life  .   but  —  should  we  try  and  INTEGRATE  ourselves  into  a  normal  life  ?  …  maybe  .  i  feel  like  father’s  always  —  watching  .  maybe  we  should  enroll  .  try  —  try  normalcy  .  or  whatever  equivalent  there  is  .   “

       valerie slides in easily to the car  ,  her hands taking the opportunity to slide over the smooth interior  ,  ❝  dude  ,  this car is like  ,  . .  super nice  . i feel so bad sitting in it like a wet dog  .  ❞  finally taking a chance to get a proper look at the new friend  ,  her eyes widen a little  ,  ❝  hey  ,  yeah  .  i  ,  uh  ,  saw your sister the other day when i drove past and saw heaps of moving vans  .  i swear to god  ,  this town is a sucker for twins  .  ❞  eyes catch the rain hardening outside of the vehicle  ,  and a small smile catches val’s lips  ,  ❝  you’re actually a lifesaver  .  my car is in the shop at the moment  ,  my curls would actually be fucked if i was in that rain  .  ❞

moments pass  &  finally he gets into her vehicle.  after shedding his jacket,  though.  ‘    ….     ’   c’mon,  juggie.  what do you tell her?  ‘thanks.  i take it you’re gonna remember this  &  use it to rope me into doing you a kindness later?    ’

despite everything he now knew about greendale, and the fact that his house had nearly been torn apart by vengeful long-dead witches, and that the only person standing between him and those witches was a warlock who was friends with his ex-girlfriend, harvey kinkle was still too trusting for his own good. the girl didn’t look scary, but that didn’t mean anything. “i usually do. but it said there was like a 30% chance of rain, i thought i’d risk it.” he smiled sheepishly. obviously he had made a miscalculation. he hesitated for another moment before getting in the car. “thanks. it’s not that far, just go down this road, and…i’ll tell you when to turn. it’s a few more blocks. i’m harvey, by the way.”

            “  i  don’t  wanna  be  like  mom  .  she  made  dad  really  sad  .  “  some  loyalty  dies  hard  ;  never  having  left  after  the  years  that  she’s  all  but  ignored  her  father’s  tendencies  or  chalked  it  up  to  once  in  a  blue  moon  mistakes  .  “  i  mean  ,  yeah  ,  maybe  ?  i  don’t  want  to  leave  here  ,  though  .  i  like  it  here  .  our  house  is  nice  .  and  the  people  are  dumb  .  we  could  get  away  with  a  lot  of  stuff here  .  “

Toni chuckled, nodding at her. “Well, she is my girlfriend, so I guess I would.” She teased.
