closed event starter for @paigehun​

heather was looking for the bathroom at the party as she was finally given directions she turned the corner. she immediately stopped seeing the line and how paige was now in front of her. “it’s been a while, hun.” she mocked her voice.

“ ter! ” paige was already on her second ? third ? bootleg cosmo of the night and feeling... well , maybe not amazing. but certainly bubbly enough to pretend. the truth was , she was sort of dreading the party. and running into a certain someone. but now terri was here ! and all way well ! as per usual , she linked arms with her best friend , and rested her blond curls on the other’s shoulder. “ i am so glad you’re here. if it weren’t for the alcohol , curtesy of moi , this party would be a total drag ! but here you , my hero ! ”

“oh!” terri’s face flushed slightly and she tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, “i mean, it’s nothing serious! we kind of hung out for a bit, it was flirtyyy, and now we’ve just been texting every so often—he’s a lot cuter than i remember him being. i’m not crazy, right? he got hot?”

“ you are so not crazy , babe. that former munchkin had quite the growth spurt this summer. ” paige couldn’t contain her excitement any longer , she nestled up against her friend and gave a little happy dance. “ ugh ! i’m just so happy for you ! miss theresa macgregor , back to degrassi and already stealing hearts. ”

Paige: why make money at all if not to splurge a little?

“We’re seniors, who wouldn’t be a space cadet right now?” He chuckled at her. When he noticed her tone change, Marco had to admit he was curious. “Why would it be complicated?” Marco asked, worried that she was going to tell him the guy was married or something. 

Lola: you up for a shopping trip this weekend?

Lola: i saw there's some deals going on.

Paige: hon, i am ALWAYS up for a shopping trip

“I know right. I’m horrible, I don’t know why you keep me around.” Marco replied, a small smile appearing on his lips. “I get that, it’s why my head’s kind of been so spacey lately.” he admitted. “Of course. What’s going on?”

“oh um, sure! what’s up? is everything okay?” 

“ i’ve had a lot of fun with you at the dance and then the party. like a lot. it’s been -- ” amazing ? confusing ? all of the above ? paige bit her lip , fingers lacing anxiously in front of her. “ what are we doing ? i mean , we’re... friends , right ? just... friends ? ”
