we can be legends

    reuben is shrugging his shoulders towards the other male, “i write about people and such, really. it’s a good opportunity to write about the different people that live here, you know?” he tells him, but he’s understanding where he was coming from. sometimes articles were hit and miss, that was just kind of the business. “i suppose i could. maybe the article won’t even happen.”

“Oh, I’ll bust some moves alright.” Link nodded and gave his hips a little wiggle. “I’m gonna bust so many moves you’ll be wishing you were out there with me doing that masculine shuffle thing all ‘bros’ do.” He chugged the rest of his drink in one go, leaning back to stare wistfully at the people dancing together. “Is it because I kicked your butt in Mario Kart last week? Because I told you Rainbow Road was my jam.”

"That masculine shuffle thing? I have no idea what you're talking about. I just don't dance. I'd rather watch others make fools of themselves. I'll just stay here drinking." Thomas shook his head, chuckling softly at his friend's moves. "You caught me on an off day. I was hungover. That doesn't count."

“it’s just a girl thing, since middle school i can remember girls being jealous of each other’s boobs. nobody wants to be the girl with mosquito bites. kinda like how some of you guys are insecure about your private parts” scarlett stated with a teasing grin. “even though i don’t think there’s surgery for that.”

"that's what i thought. ah, so you think that us guys might compare ourselves to others in the locker room? i wasn't one of those but i guess you do have a point. yeah, we can't exactly make it larger with surgery." tom shrugged. "but hey, standing here looking at you, i think you look just fine and you definitely don't need any surgery."

“why did you hold that in your hand?“ aiden asked with a laugh and a grin on his face, “dude, you are such an idiot! how can you mistaken a ball of flash for a ball of plastic” he laughed before he added, “yeah i’ve looked all over snapchat and twitter and i can’t find it. this is an emergency”

"Because he told me to. I wasn't thinking straight anymore. You know what I'm like when I've had a few drinks. God, I held an eye in my hand. That's going to give me nightmares." Tom sighed. "Hmm, I'm sure i'll surface soon enough. Maybe the one that actually filmed it is still hungover."

Task 001: ✩ Thomas Grimes as Seth Cohen  ✩

    “i’m actually mostly here for work.” reuben admits, laughing softly to himself. “i thought it would make a good article, you know?” if he was ever going to actually remember this night, depending on how many drinks were going to end up in his system by the end of it. “not sure if it’ll be a good article about the people of the apartment building, but who knows if i’ll drink too much and forget who i spoke to.” he jokes, laughing lightly.

MIXER FUN TIMES

Mixers were definitely Link’s thing. The drinking, the dancing, the fraternizing with cute boys that all lived in a walking distance from his apartment. By the time he had made plans to grab coffee with a couple of girls that seemed nice and gotten a stranger’s phone number written on his wrist with a felt tip, Link was two and a half plastic cups full of liquor and feeling buzzed. Pleasantly so. Actual flower crown resting on top of his soft waves; he made his way across the assortment of people to tug at someone’s elbow enthusiastically. “There’s a dance floor!” He said excitedly, as if the news was truly revolutionary. “Why aren’t you and I on it?”

This was definitely something Thomas wasn't used to. Mixers were a little too lame in his book as he'd rather go to some big college party or something but since it was a social thing, he thought to check it out, just to see who else lives around here as he mostly just hangs out with his four roommates. Grabbing himself a drink, as he wasn't going to leave this mixer sober, he took a small sip before scanning the place. There were a few faces around that he'd seen before but never really said anything to. As someone tugged at his elbow, he tilted his head in the guy's direction. "I can see that. You can go bust some moves but I'm good here."

      Elías ran up the steps to his apartment, holding a jar of ladybugs when he ran into someone “ oh shoot, I’m sorry ! wanna see my bugs ? ” he asked with a grin as he held the jar up to the others face.

As he was exiting the building, Thomas collided with someone, the sudden shock making him take a few steps backwards. "Why do you carry bugs around?!" Raising his brow, he took a glimpse at the jar.

“the only thing I remember from last night was that some guy took out his fake eye to use it for beer pong” aiden laughed before he shook his head, “damn i wish i recorded it. it could have gone viral, i’m telling ya!”

"wait, that wasn't a ping pong ball? dude, i even held that in my hand. that's disgusting." thomas made a face and shuddered at the thought. "maybe there is a video out there. have you tried looking it up yet?!"

“Nothing tastes better than stolen BEER from my brother’s. Seeing as they’re the ones who forced me to move here, might as well make a celebration of it! So come on. Care to help me finish this 24 pack? Welcome me to New York?”

"Anything tastes better when it's stolen from family members. I guess you're right. I mean, you can't let all that beer go to waste anyways. Hell yeah, we need to make you love this city."

“last week, I had my birthday and I have to say that my friends and my family really know me well.” she chuckled as she was pulling out endlessly those chocolate bars from birthday bags.

"happy belated birthday." tom smiled as he watched her open all the bags. "an endless supply of chocolate? looks pretty good to me."

“finally i get what people mean when they say that shit about the grass–you know how it’s not greener or whatever. well one of the girls at my job came in with a brand new pair of fake tits last weekend and all of the other girls, including me, were hella jealous. but today she let me feel them and they’re hard as rocks. i’m talking regina george’s mom hard.”

"jealous of fake tits? sometimes i really don't get you girls. i don't even understand why you'd even want to change it." thomas shook his head. "at least now you know you had nothing to be jealous of. fake things never turn out to be great or attractive for that matter."

“You know, it’s hard to figure out what do in this city?” He posed it almost as if asking the other person. “Back home, there isn’t nearly as much stuff to do.” Leigh laughed and looked at the person. “So, any suggestions on things to do tonight?” This was his way of trying to be friendly. IT was getting hard to sit in his home every night alone, so why not try and make friends?

"Are you serious?! There's so much to do here. It's New York." Thomas raised his brow, as if the guy just asked the craziest question. "Let me guess, you're from a small town?" A small smirk appeared on his lips as he crossed his arms. "Hmm, depends what your kind of fun is. You can always check out a Broadway show if you're into that. Or there are plenty of bars around here. There's Coney Island..."

“so…” she rambled to the person beside her, “i was waitressing at 3am at work and this douchebag came right up to me and told me to get an ass… he said i’d look prettier if i were thicker… dudes these days… where my gentlemen at? fucking harrassment in the twenty first century, right?” she slurped her iced tea.

thomas was trying to focus on the notes laying in front of him but he just couldn't focus. he had been up all night to write this paper and now he was supposed to study a few things for this test later on today. all he wanted to do was sleep but the person sitting next to him seemed to have other plans by the way she was rambling on. "guys can be assholes. and it's pretty obvious he has no game. i'm not really fussed about all that. as long as the girl has nice eyes, nice smile, good sense of humor and a good personality." he shrugged, unsure whether that was the type of response she was hoping for.

hey guys, i’m shay and excited to be here. not sure how many of you are still awake right now. i’m a little late but i passed out early last night but finally i’m here to introduce my boy, thomas. i don’t have a full bio for him but i’ll list a few points so that you can all get to know him. and i anyone wants to plot, hit me up or like this and i’ll come to you. i can’t wait to get started.
