“Can you watch where you’re going next time instead of you being glued to that bloody thing twenty-four seven? You almost made me spill my god damn coffee.” @itneverrainsstarters​

Tori is going over some lines for her next movie she was doing that all day and thinking about what she wants to do next. “I’m just gonna take a break now what should i do?” she asked herself. @itneverrainsstarters​  

❝ I wanted to ask you about it, but I didn’t want to pry. Maybe I made a mistake. ❞ Felicity quiped, sliding off her stool with a gentle smile gracing her lips. Her hand made its way to the others shoulder, giving it a light squeeze in reassurance that she meant no harm. 

Frankie sometimes liked to go to the bar for a quick drink before she went to meet her sister at the food court. She sat alone with her legs crossed and her notebook out, at this point she had been sitting here for a little over half an hour. Her sketch was nearly done when she heard the chair near her move. She had placed her jacket and purse down there to keep them off the floor. Quickly she looked over and smiled apologetically. “Sorry about that,” she reached out to take them and turned to hang them on the back of her chair. “Kind of got lost in my own head I guess.” She nodded as she tucked her blonde hair behind her ear. @itneverrainsstarters​

“Look, my favorite nail place jacked their prices up a lot and, like, yeah I can afford it, but it’s the principle of it all. And they won’t give me any type of discount, even though I’ve been going there every month for the past three years. You’d think there’d be some kind of loyalty discount or something… whatever, my point is, the only way I can get a discount at all is if I did the couple’s deal, and with the fit I put up about getting a discount, I can’t just give up now. Do you wanna come get a manicure with me? I’ll pay, don’t worry, and if you’re not too obnoxious during I can get you lunch afterwards too. What do you say?” @itneverrainsstarters​

Destiny thought about what she wanted to do with her evening. After spending her day in brain storming meeting with her overly bubbly boss she kind of felt like her brain had turned into a complete pile of mush. Sure most people were probably gonna go party hopping from one spot to the next. But if Destiny was being honest parties exhausted her. She burred her lips as she looked beside her at the other person. “Listen I know this is going to make me sound like a total dweeb but would you be down to go bowling with me? Something about throwing heavy balls down a greased up hallway sounds weirdly comforting to me.” @itneverrainsstarters​

“Yeah, I punched that guy.” Sutton tried her hardest to hide the smile that was trying to curl up on her lips, but it was obvious that she was proud of herself as she looked over at the injured man who was nursing his nose. “He was whistling at me. Who the fuck does that anymore?” As she justified her actions, she took a sip of the iced coffee in her hand. “Who ever thought that was a good idea?…Could you do me a favor and act like you didn’t see me punch him or that I admitted to it.” @itneverrainsstarters​

The muffled sound of pounding bass was prevalent from outside the club. Another album was about to be released with Asher’s name attached to it and the success was projected to be one of the most memorable of year and he couldn’t have been more excited to be apart of it. Music was like a drug to him, providing him a high like nothing else could. He stood outside the club, resting against the wall there. A cigarette hung from his lips as he looked up, a small euphoric smile supporting the filter. “What are you doing out here? You should be inside.” He said to the person beside him. @itneverrainsstarters​

Fridays were Dominic’s busiest days. 

“I was hoping that Anelia would want something a little less adult for her twelfth birthday, but instead she wants an iphone 11. I don’t even have the iphone 11, so I don’t know why she would think I would get her the newest phone when I don’t even have it,” the Bulgarian woman rambled, knowing her English probably sounded bad. “I don’t even know what to get her now.” @itneverrainsstarters​

Xyla Villanueva had been dreaming of Friday night since last Friday night. Her week had been filled with endless emails, meetings and conference calls. While this was not  unusual given her position within the company, this week had been especially draining and dragged on seemingly forever. Now that it was 6 pm and she actually had time to herself, she found herself in the bar across from the office, which was beginning to fill up with other tired individuals, waiting for her friend to arrive. Scanning the bar, Xy spotted two seats up at the bar and settled in. She quietly flagged down the bartender and ordered her go-to drink, a double paloma, and pulled out of her phone. However, just as she was about to shoot off a rather annoyed ‘where are you?’ text, she felt a tap on her shoulder.

Charlie sat at the small, wooden table in the coffee shop and sipped on her caramel mocha frappuccino. She studied her surroundings, taking in every detail. The ceiling fans didn’t have lights on them like she was used to, they were just fans. The shop depended on the copious amount of fairy lights, and the daylight beaming in through the large windows, to brighten up the place. ‘Not going to lie, it works,’ she thought to herself. The lighting wasn’t too dark or too bright, it was comfortable. Charlie liked that. After occupying a little too much of her time by studying the lights in the shop, Charlie noticed that there was a stranger sitting at the table right next to hers. They looked a little lonely, and Charlie hated the thought of anybody feeling alone. Charlie spoke softly, “My name is Charlie. What’s your name?”

“Since moving here I simply haven’t taken enough advantage of the beach. I mean, look at it.” The man turned around to face the beautiful coastline behind him. The crashing waves against the shore beckoned out to the two though they remained many feet away. “What do you say we enjoy what Topanga has to offer? I even brought my snorkel.” The goof teased, lowering his goggles from his perfectly gelled hair over his eyes as a challenge. @itneverrainsstarters​

As soon as as Erik woke up that morning, he knew it was gonna be one of those days. His energy feels low and so does his mood, this thoughts drifting over to the urge to spend his money on whatever alcoholic beverage he can get his hands on.

Maybe Valerie wasn’t having the best of mornings. Her phone charger shorted out while she was asleep so instead of charging her phone, the battery drained, so she missed her alarm. She’s actually off at the moment, but she wanted to beat the breakfast rush to her favorite café, but she got there too late and missed the breakfast foods completely. Her hopes for a croissant was shattered when she saw the near empty case.
