♡     While as of late Harley had taken a liking to spending her evenings curled up in bed and binge watching shows on Netflix, this particular night that wasn’t the case. With Lotus’ comeback on the horizon in the next month or so, she found herself spending her time in the practice studio. While Venus had their own studio and Sugar and Peridot shared their own, TKO and Lotus shared their practice area. With that being said, it was probably this fact that led to Harley running into Jay in the studio. Sure, TKO had their own comeback to prepare for, but knowing them, she had assumed that most of them were trapped in the studio upstairs or in the basement of their dorm together. Puffing her cheeks full of air, the dark haired girl looked down at the small bag of gummy bears in her hand before taking one out and chucking it at the male stretching on the other side of the room. 

♡    Felicia liked to mind her business, it was one of the things she did best, honestly. And one way of doing that was working on Lotus’ comeback album. Sure, they had a few months to go before a true comeback happened, but that didn’t stop her from working on music now. Besides, it was a surefire stress reliever, at least for her it was. Which was probably why she had been holed up inside one of the studio rooms since around noon on Friday. Granted, it was about to be pushing 7PM on Saturday, but what did that matter?  The blonde was busying herself at the control board, fiddling around with a few beats she’d had since the previous year or so. They were just sitting and collecting dust anyway, so she figured she could see if there would be any use for them with Lotus. Granted, it sounded nothing like their debut, but that had been what Bunny trusted them to do anyway. Keep the quality but have versatility.

♡    It wasn’t a commonly known fact that Felicia wore glasses, mostly because she was always wearing contacts, most people just assumed it was for beauty purposes. Not because she was damn near blind as a bat. Okay, maybe her vision wasn’t that bad but still. However, a slight mishap with her stepping on her glasses without realizing they had fallen out her purse was what led her to scramble to the nearest repair place to get them fixed. She was almost sure that any place she found would be closed and she was right, seeing that it was well past sunset. However, pressing her face close to the glass door, she could see that despite the front of the building being dark, there was a light on in the back and she hoped it would be a repairman with some kind of kindness in their heart. After all, this was her fourth (and last) pair of glasses to spare for the time being.

♡    There was one of two places that Felicia could be sure to find Andy nowadays and that was either a) at his dorm or b) the studio. TKO had been in there nonstop since the end of July and she was sure they were cooking up something, but even she wasn’t sure what. But, that was beside the point right now, since it wasn’t really her main focus of concern. As luck would have it in her favour (finally) she found him sprawled out in the backyard of his dorm, laying by the pool. Honestly, she knew he didn’t have sunscreen on (he probably was too careless to wear any) and so she also knew that he was going to be complaining about a burn sometime soon. Skipping over to him, the blonde slapped his shoulder to grab his attention, since he was laying on his stomach, and she practically howled with laughter at his reaction. “You shoulda known better than to lay out here without sunscreen or a shirt. Get up, though. We’re going out.”

♡    "Yah! Ron, you can’t do that.”

What exactly couldn’t Felicia’s fellow blonde do? Open a bag of chips and eat them in the middle of the store, that’s what. Even though the smell of the hot pork rinds was extremely appetizing, she still wanted to give the other a hard way to go. What exactly were they doing in a grocery store? Well, Fel had convinced Ron to spend the night and that meant that they needed to buy food. Sure, the Lotus dorm was chock full of food as it was, but why not get more? Besides, it always was gone by Sunday, especially when Tai would come to stay with them on  the weekends. Continuing to swing her feet over the front of the cart that she was being pushed around in, Felicia puffed her cheeks in thought. Self-control wasn’t exactly something she’d had much of and by now, those chips were far too enticing for her to not want some. “Okay, if you’re going to eat them, you might as well share. Especially since I’m older. And don’t you dare say something grumpy or I’ll make you sleep outside.”

♡♡    Thursday afternoons had always been tedious to the blonde that was busying herself in the kitchen of her dorm. They were almost a pointless thing, then again, Thursdays in general sometimes seemed pointless. Like it was just another day keeping her separated from what she wanted most: the weekend. But alas, on this particular afternoon, she had found solace in making pizza. The other girls were off with their activities be it at the company building or MCing or even attending classes. Whereas she had been left to her own devices and what better way to spend that than cooking? 

Of course, she had never been the neatest person in the kitchen and she had somehow managed to get flour sprinkled throughout her hair and face. But, that didn’t matter, because she had a perfectly delicious pizza to show for her efforts. Or rather, she would, whenever she was done putting the ingredients on. Which was a task she would have started had it not been for the sound of a knock and the doorbell ringing. The girls all had keys and the security didn’t make it easy for fans to simply come up to the door, so she was unsure of who it could have been. Not even bothering to dust off her hands, she skipped out of the kitchen and down the few steps that led from the living room to the front door. A smile that hadn’t been seen in a long time spread wide across the female’s features when she opened the door to see who it was. A loud squeal could be heard and she bounced on the tips of her toes out of excitement. “Dae! Baby girl, what are you doing here? I missed you!”
