oops baby !

           ‘   oh god. jeremy? i think? i could definitely pick him out of a police line up, i’ll tell you that much. who was yours?   ’ eyebrows furrow, contemplating the fact that selina’s mark wasn’t much of a battle and before she can consider the ins and outs of what she’s about to say, ‘   i’ll be your mark.   ’ she says it with a shrug of a shoulder. ‘   could be fun, right? hell you could be my mark if you want. i feel pretty confident either way,   ’ a devilish smile grows to her lips as her mind considers what routes she would take around campus instead of the everyday pattern she’s fallen into over the years. ‘   what do you say? wanna play?   ’

“Yeah, I figured as much.” She takes another look at the yellow shirt, huffing lightly, because while she does agree with Selina, she does like the color. But she won’t risk it washing her out, especially with her pale skin. “That color fits you way better. I think I’ll go with the green.” She nods, taking another look. “It’s a nice jade green, too. I struggle so much with colors. I know what works for me, but sometimes colors that are a hit or miss have me struggling.”

LOCATION  :  grounds  commons

      @selkaleli    //    “  𝚍𝚘  𝚢𝚘𝚞  𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛  find  the  grounds  to  be  too  STIFLING  ?  ”  larissa  macedo  can  be  a  restless  person  .  she  can  understand  why  the  school  is  a  closed  campus  .  and  despite  how  spacious  the  grounds  are  ,  she  wasn’t  expecting  part  of  her  to  feel  so  trapped  .

they way selina speaks makes him think they could manage it, but his confidence will deplete once he fails his mission. so he can have this moment. “ and this is why you’re my favourite kaleli – don’t tell aylin i said that. ” he’d deny it, anyway. “ don’t worry, we all have our flaws. i’ll send you some links later. ” hand on his hips, desperate eyes dart all over the place trying to find a person wearing sunglasses by the starbucks, rushing to move in line with where selina’s sitting in hopes he’d be able to get a better angle, but when she admits the truth, all tension is released from his muscles, hands dropping to his side. “ are you serious? why would you do that?! ” he groans, slumping back into the bench next to her, head in hands. “ oh man, i thought i was so close. you’re really good at this! ” the way he goes from gutted to amazed in a second is shocking. “ so, it’s really not you? you’re not gonna follow me to the national mall or anything? ”

“I need your opinion on something. I want to buy this shirt, but I’m indecisive about the color,” she begins, showing Selina the shirt on her phone. “There’s a bunch of colors, but I’m stuck on red, green and yellow. What do you think? I can’t tell if this yellow will look good with my skin tone and hair color.”

with a cheeky smile, al picked up the stand and turned his heel. “come on, we’re supposed to be at the picnic soon.” everyone was far too busy with their own friends to notice, and al was looking confident carrying the cheese cake as he made his way out of the function. as soon as they were far enough and the coast clear, he let out a deep breath he didn’t even know he had been holding in. “oh shit, that actually worked? you owe me ten bucks.” 

“No, I tend to get too caught up with my classes and the events always either take place at the beginning of the semester or close to finals and that stresses me out too much to want to attend.” He feels like he’s oversharing but it’s also something that he is pretty genuinely known for so it doesn’t feel too awkward telling her. For a moment he considers what he could have gotten her that would have made a stranger gift but he’s glad he went with flowers, there’s nothing else he can think of getting for a date. “I’m sure if they don’t exist then they can certainly be invented.” Owen makes a mental note to ask Jas about that later. “What’s your favorite breakfast food? Or, I guess, do you even eat breakfast or are you one of those people that prefers to skip it altogether?” 

         ah, selina remembers. ‘   yes, i did. i wish i was exploring because i had to find my mark, though. it was too easy and i was looking forward to the challenge. — how was it for you?   ’

– “I COULD BE A GREAT GOVERNESS NUN. except for the dresses out of curtains bit, i’d need captain von trapp to lend me his mastercard gold, please, ” surely he had one with the size of the mansion. they had a butler ! “ nooo, it’s a brunch this year so very casual, mimosas and party music, very lowkey. it’ll be fun and we’re hoping for a good turnout. you know, because of the murder last year and all. ” 

“ exactly! you get me. but not too wild, our future bosses are probably watching somehow. ” which won’t end up stopping him, but he’s trying to get the right attitude. “ if you know, you know. if you don’t, you don’t. i’m sorry, dems the rules, you know? ” i’m actually sorry because i have no idea why i wrote that in the first place, so you get this annoying answer. maybe he doesn’t know it’s a podcast. when selina appears to be making room on her phone, he’s genuinely really impressed with himself for a split second. he can’t believe that worked! but then his bubble is burst. “ what? who? where? ” head spins around trying to spot someone nearby. “ i’m totally being tailed! i thought it was you! i was trying to see if you’d been taking photos of me! ” 

Grimacing, she shook her head, “No no, white when it’s clearly casual borders on washed up retiree at a beach resort.” Like a linen dress was really her style, “But white does pop.” Popped and asked for something to be spilled on her. “That’s what I was going for. Most people are going to go with something flowy, romantic. I want my choice to be at the other end of the spectrum.” Sexy. “What are you planning on wearing?”

         ‘  thank  god  i’m  not  alone  in  this  .  ’   and  she’s  kind  of  scared  to  bring  it  up  when  it  comes  to  the  ppc  -  she  understands  the  work  ,   but  …  still  ,   it  doesn’t  feel  fully  right  to  her  .    ‘  not  to  be  a  pessimist  ,   but  something  tells  me  they  won’t  .  ’  

“Yeah, I guess she was just trying to surprise me. She’s always trying to get me to attend social events like these.” Owen obviously wasn’t upset with Aylin, he didn’t think there was anything she could ever do that would make him be upset with her. “It’s not your fault and, besides, I really don’t mind.” It got him out of his room and was a descent enough distraction. “I don’t know, I didn’t know if it’d make you uncomfortable that I brought them since we both hadn’t planned on being here.” He offers her a sheepish grin but he’s grateful that she not only wants the flowers but seems to like them. “I was taught to never turn down free food so, I’m all for that.” Plus he doesn’t want to leave her alone without a date. “Not so sure how I feel about pretzels as part of a breakfast, though.” 

“they’re gonna know. ” al didn’t bother to look around. “how much do you want to bet that…” he placed a finger at the very edge of a ceramic stand with a perfectly coated strawberry cheesecake and turned it slightly, “i can walk out of here with this and no one would bat an eye?”

“ okay, okay. when we both pass, let’s celebrate in a cute little cafe! except less cute and little but more fun and big, and not a cafe but maybe a bar? ” he suggests, though if his intuition is right, only one of them would be passing, and he’s really hoping it’s not going to be him. “ you’ve never heard of the undertaker? ” he jumps up from the bench, showing her one of his famous finishing moves, mimicking the commentators and cheers from the audience. until she spins it back on him, which he didn’t expect and it shows. “ uh … my phone sucks. i have an android. it’s broken, actually. let’s just use yours!  ”

           ‘   selina!   ’ ryan exclaims even though she’s not really the exclamatory type. when ryan first spotted the banged - brunette, she was simply trying to pair a name to the face. when it eventually came to mind it also came out of her mouth. a bit of an a-ha! moment. whoops. ‘   did you end up getting around d.c. okay?’

– “YEAH, TOTALLY,” AYLIN LIES, because she can’t find the answer in there at all. though she likes talking to selina because selina never outwardly tells her what to do, she makes a really good sounding board for aylin to complain to. “ become governesses ? i don’t know, sel, don’t ask me to understand christianity, ” she says with a dramatic sigh, though she still does not know how to solve a problem like maria either. “ maybe. you’ll just have to show up in order to find out, ” aylin arches her eyebrows back and forth suggestively. she can’t tell selina her plans or selina would definitely stop her !
