“ what? it’s cheer season “ she defends against the other girl’s incredulous gaze, says it like something she should just know. leti’s a control freak, and not in the type-a, sticky notes, color code your underwear kind of way, but the i don’t leave the house without my lashes, let alone go out in front of the entire school bearing a less than stunning midriff kinda way. her chocolate hues narrow at her next statement, “ i don’t really see how it’s your business , but i’ve been purging all the negative spirits in my life. men included. “ it’s mostly a lie, but it sounded good when she read it as number 11. on cosmopolitan’s list of 17 ways to reinvent yourself. a list that she does intend to start. eventually…

☇ ❪ . ◞ ‧ “ considering they don’t deserve to be spoken to that way, yes it will be. “ she told the brunette, eyes watching her carefully. her words weren’t fighting words, but more so words that lead to a much different conversation. words that were meant to include that her and her family were not her mother nor have anything to do with her mothers decision. “ my dad .. mom .. they’re loving accepting people .. “ she said, almost defensively. “ so its really not about how they’ll act indigo, “ her tone softening.

[ cismale, he/him , kim taehyung , twenty-three ] i think i just saw KADEN TUCKER looking down at their phone in the middle of lecture hall . i wonder if they think that will help them get through their CRIME, LAW, & JUSTICE major . i’m sure professor baker doesn’t mind , though , especially since TUCKER can be so + PRIM. then again , HE/HIM can be a little - INTOLERANT , so maybe prof b will mind after all . what do you think is catching their attention all of a sudden ? surely it can’t be more pictures of ABANDONED PLACES . hey , you know , sometimes they really remind me of COLD HANDS DISPLACING LUCIFER PAINTINGS , TRENCH COATS, CIRCLE RIM GLASSES, but maybe that’s just me . oh well . i hope their FOURTH year is treating them well ! [ mariam , she/her , age , est , n/a ]   [LAYLA EVANS EX- BOYFRIEND WC AND JORDYN JEFFERSON BEST FRIEND/CRUSH WC ! ]

she’s almost forgotten about indigo’s dramatic flare, usually it’s endearing, right now it just feels like she’s taunting her. “ i didn’t mean it like that “ or maybe she does. the b-word is such a staple in her vocabulary she sometimes uses it and can’t be bothered to decipher the context. leti looks at her choice in breakfast, makes a face, “ no thanks, i’m on a diet “

   she  sent  a  final  glare  towards  the  rude  person  before  being  pulled  towards  the  nearby  table  ,  sitting  down  where  indigo  put  her.  resting  in  her  seat  ,  she  toyed  with  the  metal  tray  in  front  of  her  before  looking  at  indigo.   ❝  i  got  a  tingling  that  you  would  need  my  help.  what  the  hell  happened  with  them  anyways  ?   ❞  she  smirked  ,  pointing  in  the  direction  of  where  the  customer  stood.    her  ears  perking  up  at  the  mention  of  nate.   ❝  it’s  crazy  && i  have  a  bad  feeling  about  it.  i  mean  ,  if  he  didn’t  do  it  ,  then  who  did  ?   ❞

—— AFTER BEING WITH the girls to work on a fundraiser and making sure everything was running smoothly, it was finally time to pack up. a suggestion came around to go out for drinks and as layla was about to shout in excitement, she soon saw someone coming over and tilted her head to the side, eyebrows furrowing for a moment then gave the other a small smile. the brunette just told them she’d catch up before giving indigo all her attention. she was glad to hear about how interested she was because personally, layla loved being in a sorority and was proud to be the president of sigma kappa. ❝i don’t think it sounds weird. i’m glad you’re into it, honestly.❞ pursing her lips, the brunette gave the questions a moment or two to think about. she could have sounded fake and talked about how their sorority was about philanthropy and sisterhood, which it still was, but it just wasn’t the only thing that went on. ❝well, aside from being known for parties, i guess you can say that i just want the sorority to be welcoming for others and to make sure everyone feels safe. like they have a friend they can rely one, you know? the sociable part is just a big bonus. and i wouldn’t call it hazing, i’d say it’s more of doing a few tasks.❞

Cassandra rolled her eyes, staring at the girl. “Celebrate what? The fact that you’re in such bad shape that even a punching bag can beat you?” The blonde crossed her arms, frowning. “I will be more than happy to buy you a drink to celebrate your true victory after you run on the treadmill. Let’s go!”, she said clapping. In a sigh she lets out “Hate to be the bad cop.”

☇ ❪ . ◞ ‧ holding her tongue had not been something that came easy , but she managed . and so when the girl collided with her , a heavy sigh replaced the words giselle wanted to throw at her. deciding right there and then, that her first attempt was enough .. and so , her feet started to move and then stopped . indigo’s words hitting the air and gaining giselle’s attention back . she doesnt answer right away , instead she just stares .. taking in the girl for a solid minute. “ are you going to treat them the same way ? “ she finds herself asking , her tone filled with mixed emotions. she was shocked , but what was she going to do ? deny the girl? give her more of a reason to hate her.

The blonde couldn’t help letting out a little squeal of excitement when Indigo agreed to finally work out with her. She was determined to show the girl how working out could be fun. The girl was stretching when she saw the brunette fall, Cassandra covered her mouth, trying not to laugh. Offering a hand to the girl, the blonde rethought her strategy. “Alright, maybe that wasn’t the best idea for a beginner. Let’s start with something harmless. What do you think of treadmill, or if you prefer, we can run around the campus. It’s a beautiful day out there.”
