"And that's probably part of the issue. You don't care." Olivia's defenses up as she tried to get through to Nate. "I get the whole hurt people hurt people thing but at some point doesn't it have to end?"

Selene was always a night owl, so of course she had decided to go out when the sun set and just walk around. Maybe find some inspiration for a new panting. Her feet end up caring her towards a lit up gas station and she looks around, wondering if she wanted to stop in and grab a drink. As she’s thinking, she sees somebody come out and she’s surprised to see someone her age out. Hence, the question leaving her without really thinking about it.

[ text: @ircnwll​​ ] you made it so much more obvious walking out of the auditorium like that.

[ text: daddy’s boy 🚩🚩🚩 ] like on one hand. i get it. really

[ text: daddy’s boy 🚩🚩🚩 ] but at the same time. i think you forget how dumb everyone at school is and i dont think they’ll actually know that it’s you.

[ text: daddy’s boy 🚩🚩🚩 ] also you looked a little mad. don’t do anything crazy to my friend, or our little truce is over.

“ cassie isn’t home. can i ... help you ? ”

It’s the night of the play.

And like honestly, Rue’s still halfway through detoxing by the time it rolls around, and she’s been in better shape, and worse shape, reciprocally. Now, she hasn’t really been dealing with ANYBODY ELSE lately, hanging around home in order to start from the bottom when it came to mending bridges with the people around her. Lexi, however, did need her support... it wasn’t often that she actually could pull through for somebody else, this being one of the few opportunities to actually do right by her before... inconvenient things like rehab took her away from the day to day. 

What she doesn’t expect is to run into Nate Jacobs waiting for the bathroom. Now, Rue wasn’t a fucking idiot, she knew that the new girlfriend he was shamelessly parading around had been rated out by her to her family. That it was Rue who had spilled the beans on their whole ILLICIT AFFAIR that they’d been carrying on while Nate was still courting the possibility of getting together with Maddy. Something sour sucks at her expression, he hasn’t changed, this fucking selfish asshole... but at least, she supposes, his focus has shifted from Jules, not that she really has any fucking right to properly talk about her now. 

                         “What are you even doing here, Jacobs? You hate Lexi.”

cassie  and  cheerleading  went  together  well,  first  she  is  very  athletic  and  a  hands  on  thinker,  she  enjoys  routine  and  practice  and  just  feeling  apart  of  something  bigger  to  herself.  maddy  suggested  it   at  first,  let’s  try  out  and  honestly  she  wouldn’t  have  made  it  without  her  best  friend.  they  totally  celebrated  at  her  house  when  they  both  got  on  the  team. as  soon  as  she  was  accepted  she  could  see  how  much  cheerleading  was  helping  at  her  confidence  and  she  loved  the  eyes  she  got  in  her  uniform  (  let’s  be  real  )  cheerleading  was  like  her  ice  skating  crutch,  if  she  couldn’t  skate  because  of  the  memories  she  was  going  to  be  a  damn  good  cheerleader  and  she  was.  she  practiced  her  routines  and  they  excited  her,  the  popularity  also  excited  her,  people  getting  to  know  her  more,  and  getting  invited  to  parties  and  the  football  players  though  most  of  them  she  considered  clowns  because  of  the  way  they  acted  (  and  she  was  very  much  into  older  men  at  a  young  age  )   the  games  just  filled  her  with  excitement  and  the  cheers  and  the  possibility  of  winning  made  her  want  to  get  her  head  in  the  game  more  and  she  did  but  when  the  offer  of  co  captain  was  presented  to  her  she  stepped  down  thinking  that  she  couldn’t  handle  that  much  responsibility  and  she  probably  regrets  that.  cheerleading  became  a  coping  mechanism  and  the  way  it  made  her  felt  was  good,  digging  her  out  of  the  depression  since  her  dad  left  and  she  made  her  own  costumes  using  a  sewing  machine  her  grandmother  had  and  she  loves  dressing  up  for  every  pep  rally  and  game.  loves  the  glitter  and  the  way  she  feels  like  a  girl,  lace,  and  white  sneakers  and  high  ponytails  and  the  dramatic  makeup.  she  also  loves  the  feeling  it  brings  her  of  belonging  somewhere  but  also  the  competitions,  the  dance  routines  and  the  feeling  of  excitement  every  time  she  did  good  in  something.  and  cassie  howard  is  definitely  a  flier.
