once in a while, a girl needs to turn her room upside down. & considering allie is currently scouring every nook & cranny of said room with the purpose of rounding up every single sean reminder still hanging around, she would best describe it as cleaning – except she's really just making more of a mess. clean is more of a feeling anyway, isn't it ? she's just not feeling it yet. there's urgency as she moves in circles, rummaging & filling up the stupid cardboard box with his name on it with clothes she'd borrowed & supposedly forgot to give back, two years' worth of polaroid photos, gifts & keepsakes, all down to the extra charger she used to keep for him. & it's brutal. it's a box filled to the brim with good memories turned unbelievably sad. " where. are they- ugh ! " irritation echoes through the dorm room as she digs through the back of a drawer for a pair of earplugs she's sure he left behind when her hand touches something solid. a red card game box, pushed all the way to the back, untouched for the longest time. & for the first time today, there's a memory that brings her nothing but joy.

she's a woman on a mission – taking on the mantle of event planner on top of her school work was for sure the result of a moment of insanity. but allie plans to call it a moment of clarity ! all she knows is this : the theater department is literally crumbling around her. & instead of spending any more time pretending the gods of funding aren't total dicks, she'd decided to get realistic. practical, if you will. she cares far too much about the place people will one day associate with the time allie hayes spent honing her craft to let it survive on scraps. a little bit of initiative & word of mouth goes a long way ! & best believe her head is spinning thinking about how best to get this fund raising ball rolling, but it's a good thing she's not doing it alone. roping people into shit that doesn't concern them ? that she can do.

she never knew  guy to take his hair spray as seriously as she did. (and shit, this guy had the good stuff!) allie watches steve closely for a moment, a smile starting small then growing the more he spoke. if she had known this was what his energy was like, she would have befriended him sooner. his reaction is entertaining, his agreeing with her earned him brownie points, and the fact that they were now about to embark on this hairspray buddy journey only solidified her thoughts on him. if the hair alone didn't convince her, everything that came ouf of this interaction did.
