“hey,” he asks gently, pushing stray hair behind her ear and pulling her slightly closer. “did you want to leave early or stay until things start winding down?” he has to assume, or he knows, ruby is more concerned about the strain of the evening than he is. grayson is used to a stiff upper lip. “also...i’ve a feeling nobody’ll stop us if you wanted to leave campus, at this point.” grayson certainly doesn’t want to stay in her dorm or sleep without her, despite his injury. / @rubymeriwether​

“is this going to be grayson’s first time celebrating thanksgiving?” she asks excitedly, because even though thanksgiving has never held a ton of significance for her, she knows who you bring home to your family means something. “that must be intimidating, being with the future first family...but i’m sure it’ll be nice! he seems good under pressure.” / @rubymeriwether​

“are you looking forward to the new year?” virginie has a feeling she knows the answer, so she hopes the question isn’t stressful to her roommate. “also...i was wondering if you are planning to leave campus again until break is over? i am leaving the party before midnight so i wanted to let you know i will probably be asleep by the time you come back to the room if not.” / @rubymeriwether​

drew: get ready for spaghetti time

“Ruuuuuby!” She squealed (don’t ask why!) when she saw the younger girl seated outside already. “This restaurant is so cute. Sorry if you’ve already eaten here a bunch, I thought it’d be more convenient but then I realized...” Ruby’s hotel was adorable, and the word boutique in the name didn’t hurt. The restaurant attached seemed nice yet casual enough for Jas’s weak excuse to get to know Ruby better before the new school year began. “Thanks for agreeing to have lunch -- I’m sure there’s other stuff you’d rather do during the weekends.” Days off were precious to Jas, too, so she got it, but she really wanted to do this at least once during the summer. / @rubymeriwether​

jas splays out the supplies across ruby’s desk, mostly just gel pens (and a few calligraphy pens) and her own personalized stationary and some washi tape. “not gonna lie, i bought these just for the starry night one so you’re definitely welcome to the others!” she hasn’t provided glitter because louis had called it too messy, meanwhile he likes glitter when it’s on her face so what’s the truth?! “okay, let me see it!” she says excitedly, wanting to see ruby’s new stationary. / @rubymeriwether​
