“I don’t think I do it right,” Teddy admitted as a smirk spread across his lips. “Fashion has never been my main priority,” the brunette confessed with a shrug. It wasn’t. He prioritised other things over his style. “Looking for cuties?” He asked looking at the blonde-haired girl. “What’s your type?” He asked, being generally curious.

The brunette looked at the blonde-haired femme as she put the round glasses back on and grinned, agreeing with himself that he preferred them out of the two she had been weighing her options about. “I feel like it doesn’t take away from your outfit,” he admitted. “I’m no fashionista though...i’m always in sweatpants and sweatshirts,” he chuckled. “I’m probably the last person you want fashion advice from...” Teddy followed the blonde, trying to keep up with her. “Are we going sight seeing?”

Teddy looked around making sue no-one else was around the two of them before making eye contact with the pretty blonde admiring herself in reflective surface. “Are you asking me?” He asked with a raised eyebrow, watching as she switched over the glasses. “I think the round ones look better, but you could rock both,” he confessed. “I like the round ones better with the outfit though,”.

Teddy had been sitting along in the lounge room at the hotel distracted on his mobile phone as his mum called him and double checked how he was getting on. In Brooklyn if Teddy wasn’t studying, he was living with his mother. He had grown up without a dad because his father had moved out before teddy was even born. The brunette was seen as a ‘mommas boy’ but he owned it. He loved his mother, he simply thought sometimes she could be a little over protective of him. “Okay mom, got to go...” He said, trying to end the call as Ivy walked into the room. A face he finally recognized. “Alright?” He commented, flashing a smile in her direction. “Done anything fun here so far?” He asked, making his way over towards the brunette. 

Fable had been talking to Milo and checking in on Kelsey. The one thing the two of them shared in common. “It’s good our little girl is doing well. Is she reading the…” She trailed off as she spoke to the blonde in front of her before seeing Teddy standing behind him. “Th-Theodore.” She whispered as she pushed Milo to the side gently. “Teddy I-I.” She felt herself finding a hard time trying to form words as she looked between him and Milo and her eyes welled up and she shook her head. 

“ he sounds like an asshole if you ask me,” teddy knew being jealous ex boyfriend was pretty normal in all relationships . if someone saw their old significant other with someone else sometimes jealousy did play a factor into it all . “ i like to help out where i can, ” he answered back as a small smirk spread across his lips . “ i try and make sure people feel comfortable around me , like they feel they can depend on me if they need too, ” he confessed .

teddy didn’t need to be asked twice to play along with being someone’s ‘date’ to make a mockery of an ex . he approached the red haired femme and took her hand into his own , pulling her gently alongside him as he glanced at the guy that was apparently her ex . “ doesn’t he like you hanging out with anyone else ? is that why we’re doing this ? ”  he asked . teddy was pretty open and friendly so this wasn’t something too out the norm for him . 

Teddy lent further into his hand at Millie’s question going through both options thoroughly in his mind. “I feel like I’d want to get away with every lie I’ve ever told,” he admitted to the blonde. “Sometimes people lie to protect you from things they don’t want you to hear..” he admitted , “ what about you what would you choose out the two ? ”

“I think the two of them might have had a crush on the same person , and one of them managed to get to them before the other. I was secretly hoping that there was going to be a fight. It keeps the night entertaining.” Teddy chuckled. His shoulder bumping into Marley’s. “Who do you think’s going to win?”

Fable couldn’t help the laugh that left her lips as she began to run. “Theodore, no, no.” She yelled before he caught up to her and pulled her into his arms. Giggling softly as she felt the water soak through her clothes as he held her close she bit her lip before grasping his face in her hands to kiss him. 

“So are you ready to go for a swim Lopez?” Luciano asked looking at the other on the diving board. Rearing his arm back. “Can’t promise I’ll take it easy on you. I have an arm on me.” 

Fable had been painting faces. It seemed liked a task she was destined for. Getting a break she glanced up and saw Teddy with his shirt off on the diving board of the dunk tank. She knew she shouldn’t be staring so she got up with a light flush of her cheeks and walked over surpassing the person that was throwing the balls and missing terribly. “I’m sorry.” She spoke as she looked back at them before she pressed the button watching Theodore fall into the water with a giggle leaving her lips. “You seemed a little hot from afar. Are you cooled down?” 

teddy had grew up around nora as their mum’s were best friends with each other. the two of them were at each other’s house a lot growing up , until nora moved with her mum to somewhere outside of Brooklyn. he had grow up with her in life to only seeing her every so often as his mum video called her mum to have a little catch up with each other . it was nice to finally have a catch up with nora all over again , and try and fill in the gaps on who she was now , and what she wanted out of life. “ it’s pretty hectic right ? ” he chuckled. “ fuck no sorry - not alana , athena,” he corrected , pulling a face as he got the girls name wrong. “ i don’t think alana would look my way...but she’s not my type so it’s fine. I’m into a girl someone called Fable right now, she kissed me the other day you know?” he grinned. if fable’s name was mentioned, teddy’s smile turned childlike. “ did you have a go at the person who puked on you ? ” he asked with a raised eyebrow. “ i would have been livid...”

Fable looked over at him. “You never failed me before Theodore Lopez.” It was the truth and the both of them knew it. Blushing slightly as he looked directly into her eyes she smiled softly. “I may have. Either that or it’s just a figment of your imagination.” She joked back with him. “Was it?” 

teddy chuckled at the profile that nora was showing him and swiped right for him on nora’s phone before tipping his head back and laughing. “ i dated a girl who cheated on me , and I had fallen hard for her and now she’s my roommate,” he admits. teddy got his mobile phone out and got cori up on his mobile phone , showing nora a picture of her before scrolling to find alana . “ so after i found out about it, i fucked her step sibling alana,” he admitted, showing nora a picture of the girl he had slept with afterwards.  he chuckled and shook his head. “ i wouldn’t say she was my worst date , but it sucked how it ended, ” he admitted. “who was your worst date , nora? ” he asked, wanting to find out more about what she went through between the years the two of them weren’t as close.  “ did you break someone’s heart? ”

      she shakes her head as      she rests her hand on his,    hiding it a light squeeze.      ❝   oh, bambino.     don’t worry,     it’ll take   more than that   pretty face    to break     my heart. ❞      she muses towards him,    smiling as      she looked out the      window, letting her mind     travel away once    again. though      a few     seconds later,     his voice draws her     back in to the      conversation      at hand. ❝ yeah,   it’s adjustable. ❞      teddy had been     the only public student      that she had a genuine      conversation with. ❝     I really don’t care    as long as everyone     knows their place ——- I had a    little incident in debate     club but it’s been     rectified . ❞   a public student   decided to    question her choices &.    let’s just say the    girl never     came back.
