all eyes on me

“shit. like, holy shit. amira shacklebolt. you mean the person on who i have the biggest crush of my life? they’re not feelings. at least, i don’t want them to be feelings. let’s be real, she’d never reciprocate them. and fuck, they are feelings. i can’t lie to you; not right now. i can’t stop thinking about her, and i hate it. her lips, her face, her eyes, her hair; i can’t get it out of my head. i can’t get her out of my head, and i don’t get it. i’m not supposed to feel this way. i’m iris fucking parkinson, for god’s sake! i don’t do feelings. yeah, i fucking love people, but i don’t fucking grow too attached to them. i’m not dependant or clingy. i have so many friends, and they never expect anything from me, because, guess what! i always skip from friend group to friend group right before it gets too intense. like, i love all my friends with my whole fucking heart and always eventually go back to them, but… it’s easier not to let shit get too real. but with amira? shit’s getting real very fast, and i’m scared. i’m not supposed to feel this way. especially not about my boss’s daughter. which is like, weird. i’m tempted to quit just because it’s weird. also because the internship’s boring as hell, but that’s another story. just… fuck. it’s so much more than physical for me, and i can’t let her know that. don’t you fucking dare tell her.”

“hey, you,” iris grinned at noah as she finally arrived beside her, and then tilted her head as she looked at the bar across the street. “my muggle friend told me this is one of the best bars in town, and that they don’t ask for id, so... okay, the name kind of has me worried, but, worst case scenario? we get to laugh a little at what muggles consider witchcraft to be, yeah? i mean, not laughing at them in a mean way, but like... oh, you know what i mean. anyway, how do you like my outfit?”

she twirled around, showing off the black dress and pink platform shoes she had worn that day. if she was to say so herself, she was looking especially gorgeous on that fine august night, and couldn’t wait to get inside the bar and maybe make a few friends. or maybe just hang out with noah, if that was what the other preferred. truly, iris didn’t mind. she hadn’t seen the other in a while, and she just wanted them to spend some quality time together.

NAME: noah 🍷RINGTONE: i like to move it. the madagascar (2021) remix version. why? because iris loves that song. that’s really the only reason behind it.PICTURE: see below.LAST TEXT RECEIVED: have anything good?LAST TEXT SENT: i wouldn’t be me if i didn’t <3 now get your ass over here. we’ve got a beach, we’ve got firewhiskey, we’ve got candy.

the shop had just opened, and iris was already making her way into it. technically, she couldn’t afford anything at the moment, but she could at least gather some inspiration and perhaps look in second-hand stores for items she could turn into something she’d love to wear. walking through the aisles of clothes, she grinned as she gently felt all the textures with her hands, admiring the work of these upcoming designers. so absorbed by the clothes, she didn’t even notice there was someone else in the aisle before she bumped into them. “oh my god, i’m so sorry,” she exclaimed, before looking between the blonde and the item of clothing she was looking at. “okay, but like... you need that. it’d look so good on you. especially with those shoes close to the door. did you see them? come on, i’ll show you.”

NAME: amiraRINGTONE: the default one, which says a lot. iris always chooses ringtones for people, and probably chose the default one for amira because she doesn’t want her to think that iris thinks she’s special. which iris totally thinks, but. she’s trying to hide it.PICTURE: see below.LAST TEXT RECEIVED: okLAST TEXT SENT: my place? my mum’s out of town.

NAME: lou eeRINGTONE: a song by stromae most likely since that’s the only francophone artist she knows. (yes, stromae is still relevant in 2023. that’s like, a necessity.) maybe ‘formidable’. she doesn’t understand the lyrics, to be honest, and is too lazy to look them up.PICTURE: see below. LAST TEXT RECEIVED: wait whatLAST TEXT SENT: so. you get a choice. you either have to live on mars or the moon. which do u choose?
