he looked up, sun light threatening to shut his eyes out completely if he wasn’t using his hands to cover part of his vision. “aren’t you in awe of the new york skyline?” of course, it was daylight and the lights wouldn’t be on until hours later but ned liked to think on the bright side! “i think light shows can be really beautiful. if done correctly, that is. what’s the best one you’ve ever seen?”  (  @brxinixc​  )

         not quite on top of the bed, drew instead hung out by the side of it and scrolled through his phone. he wasn’t gonna go through the blog again; he didn’t need to. the contents were burned into his brain and he could only exhale before he looked up, deciding to see if he wanted to climb to the top bunk before his eyes landed on ria. “hey, so ..i kinda wanna be transparent about this whole thing so ..yeah, i read your, uh, entry. did you..read mine?” | | @riaflicke​

             it was a rare occurrence, especially to those who knew him best, that rizo had almost nothing to say. a witty quip here, a pop culture reference there...none of those seemed to come now. staring at the man he had called his best friend, one of his closest friends he's made ever since the gates of blackthorne closed. while he's no saint and his list of white lies could easily engulf him in his own shallow guilt, he couldn't quite imagine living a lie. living as a different person. a result of being a twin, he supposes. identity politics and growing up emphasizing the importance of being an individual. but he can't quite remember the reasons he'd argue with if he ever got into a debate about it; what arguing with another person was even like let alone someone he'd felt close to like he was with his sister, because he is feeling absolute nothingness at that moment. nothing but one question, a priority he's put on the top of the list.

        “landon, come here! i think a couple’s having a private moment over there!” she whispered-shouted, hopefully enough for landon to hear her and see her gesturing for him to hide behind the tree with her. [ @specdracers​ ]

she had just finished her drink when she spotted ria from across the hall. quickly tossing the water cup down a nearby trash can, she speed walked and narrowly avoided a few people on the way to catch up with her friend. “hey, how do you feel?” whether she was talking about a hangover or the results of the costume contest, mags opted not to be specific.  [ @riaflicke​ ]

        she thought she would’ve learned her lesson but truly, she liked the pull of the dating app. “hey, do ya think this guy would be nice? he doesn’t have a fishing trip picture.” elisa asked out loud, flipping the phone screen so her roommate could see. | @ariabeck​
