“don’t expect to find much in there.” it was nearing ten in the morning when zach woke up to the sounds of rummaging from the kitchen. his new apartment was all his, but on the smaller side, with walls too thin for kimi to move around without being heard. he had rolled himself out of the messy bed and threw on a clean pair of jeans, deciding that half-decent was good enough for the time being. he hadn’t been grocery shopping in a while, and even if he had, zach was never great at buying sustainable products for cooking. so when he saw kimi searching for something to make, he laughed a little. “seriously, it’s probably not worth it. there’s fruit loops, maybe.” he walked in closer to her, leaning against the counter at the mouth of the kitchen. “you wanna go get something to eat?”

“thank you kim,” it was about the third time julian had thanked kimi in the short minutes that she was in his apartment. there was little chance of hiding things from his best friend and filling the space with awkward gestures, as he had been doing ever since she came to drop some books by for him, wasn’t helping his case. “actually–are you in a rush?” rather than straight up asking the girl what was on his mind, julian tried to approached the situation more cautiously. “just, like–if you have to be somewhere, never mind. actually, you know, it’s fine. i’m good. thank you!” and, just liked that, he pussyed out changed his mind.

already sitting under the umbrella of the little bistro table, zach felt a bit guilty for being late to their meeting. still, he thought it was mostly due to kimi being nearly five minutes early. but she should have known that zach’s sense of time wasn’t as punctual as hers. “hey, sorry, were you waiting a while?” zach asked as he took a seat, pulling the metal chair out and scooting in to get closer. “are you hungry? we could order something before we start?” there was a lot of explaining for zach to do. after all, he didn’t tell kimi anything about why he wanted to meet with her one-on-one.

@itskimibitch ! isaiah would never willingly talk to kimberly but seeing as he’s trying to ‘change’ as a person— he tries to spark up some conversation with her. “ there’s these guys on the team asking for me to ask you if you’re interested. now i’m no cupid but y’know— it’s not like cristian is gonna bite the line any time soon. ” he plops down next to her and takes a large bite of his sandwhich, knowing it’d annoy her to no end.

low-key, her mom. she wanted vee to per-sue a career as a lawyer or a surgeon and follow in her parents footsteps. verena obviously chose to follow her dreams to become an investigative journalist which basically ruined their relationship all together. while her father still supports her decisions and loves her no matter what, her mother can barely even looks at her, let alone speak to her whenever she’s home. she’s the one person verena can’t make proud no matter how hard she tries.

it was not unlike cristian to entertain other people’s infatuations and ideas of him, and it was no secret that he enjoyed it too. it was what he was notorious for, after all. so, as kimberly’s lips left his cheek, cristian couldn’t help but toy with the girl. “ if you wanted a kiss, all you had to do was ask, ” he teased in a low tone, his face close, smirking as he charmingly tilted his head to the side, “ i’ve been told i can be quite the … teacher. ” the pause before his last word intensified the enticement in the air, giving him time to raise his brows before flashing the girl a quick wink and going on his way – always leaving them wanting more.

“ kimi you really shouldn’t of. ” naomi takes the neatly wrapped gift from the hands of the other, gently placing it on her lap ( she had no idea what was in it and she didn’t want to be clutz and drop it in fear of breaking anything ) . she hadn’t bothered to make her birthday a big deal this year, seeing as the group was going through some hard times. but it was a nice feeling to know that a few people had gotten her something. “ thank you, it means a lot. ” she warmly smiles, leaning in to give her a quick hug.
