#barkis.

helena didn't have many friends in evermore. it was really her own fault because she was the only reason she wasn't going out and trying to. even when she headed to the bar she tended to do so on her own and spent most of it drinking alone like a weirdo. no one has called her a weirdo to her face in forever but she couldn't help but feel that was what people were thinking. this overthinking normally continued until she was too drunk to think or went home as the result of her nerves.

she was sure tonight was the latter but the moment she had gotten her purse slung around her shoulder, she was greeted by a familiar face. "ah, barkis," helena exclaimed softly, hand on her heart. "you almost gave me a fright. good thing you're not actually that scary to look at.

Lindsay honestly couldn’t remember a time she had gotten a compliment that nice. She was pretty, she heard that a lot, sure, but this? This was kinda romantic and it made her blush like mad. Tyler has never even uttered anything as sweet and that was saying something because Lindsay thought this guy had a way with words. “Mysterious? Me?” she absolutely giggled at that. “Gosh, no one has ever called me mysterious before.....And that’s totally fine! ‘Cause I like to be an open book or whatever!” Her grin never left her face. “If I wasn’t so good at catching things, I would so think you were hitting on me hard right now. I mean, like, I’m pretty good at catching stuff but...are you flirting with me right now?” @deathdopart
