“I think I’m coming down with a cold” Dal said taking a step back. “I don’t want to make you sick too, I honestly feel like a potato, a really bad and ugly one, don’t look at me” She tried to cover her face, with both her shirt and her hand. “I’m absolutely useless in this moment”

“Oh God, you don’t know how happy I am to spend time with someone who’s not puking, milking me like a cow or pooping every 2 minutes” She was pretty sure she hadn’t washed her hair in like a week and that her sleepless face was obvious to anyone, but she had never felt as happy as she felt right now. Her twins were amazing, despite all the hard work that they involved, and she was in love in a way she had never thought she could ever feel. “Don’t take me wrong, Jae doesn’t puke, milks me or poops, well, he does poop but not in diapers and.. I’m getting sidetracked, I’m so happy to have visitors, come in, Yuna and Jaemin are sleeping, or I think they are, but those little aliens will wake up, they don’t give us any pause”

“Damn... this used to be one of my favorite places growing up... I’m sad it’s closed.” Daniel mused to himself as he looked at the clothing store. It used to be a restaurant there. It took him an extra moment, but he noticed someone close to him, which made him offer them an apologetic smile. “Sorry... am I on your way?”

Usually, doors weren’t a problem. Today, however, proved differently. Just as Lucas was about to walk into the cafe, he ended up smacking into the door, mistaking it for one that needed to be pushed. Lucas was quick to laugh at himself, hand covering the side of his face as he grabbed the door and actually opened it to step inside. "If this is a testament to how the rest of my day is going to go... Oof, it’s not looking good. — Sorry!” Just his luck too, someone had been behind him to witness it all. He held the door for them. "Who needs caffeine when you can just test physics, am I right?”

“That’s the whole point of being on a break from school” Jamie replied, eyes barely opened because he didn’t want to move. “Taking a nap in the middle of the day is not weird, it’s called being lucky and Chris might or might have not given me something, I can’t recall” He explained with another chuckle. Was he high? He wasn’t even sure now, he just knew he didn’t want to move from his place.

“So she introduces me to her boyfriend, this kid I had in my lit class last year” He started telling the other, the beer in his hand feeling like a salvation after the afternoon he had. “And I’m like, cool, I know him, know his parents, good student, likes to play soccer, and, yeah, also know about his past three ex-girlfriends that he cheated on” Perks of working in a high school where students tell you pretty much everything. “But I’m like, on dad mode, not Mr. Bennett mode so I just smile and warn him that he has to bring her back before midnight because you know, Alma would stop talking to me if I say anything else in front of her new boyfriend”

Jordan didn’t need to insist. The second they mentioned the words Halloween party, Rissa was on board for it. They didn’t care that they didn’t know whoever was throwing the party--wasn’t that their life as of lately?--they just needed a reason to distract themselves of how much their personal life was literally falling apart. After deciding on matching costumes, Rissa pulled everything together and built a ‘sexy Rick Sanchez’ costume for themselves and promised to meet up with Jordan at the party, since they would probably be running a little later than usual. You know---there was also another party for them to attend (or something). It was hard to tell nowadays because everything had pretty much become a blur. When they weren’t high, they were off pretending to be someone else entirely, then they were back to numbing themselves.
