Willa drake

Marie looked to the other with a confused expression, “What? Oh that, it was nothing. I just don’t really do mess and they were trying there best to get me to partake. It’s sweet that they thought they could sway me though.” Marie smiled, looking off to her friend, “They’ll find someone else though, I’m sure.”

Willa nodded as she listened to the blonde. “That’s good to hear.” she offered the other a small smile as she looked past the blonde at the other that had just run off. “There sure are a lot of individuals in this town that like mess.” a laugh escaped her lips as she lightly shrugged her shoulders. “I’m Willa by the way.” 

“You can hype this up as much as you want, I’m still not doing it.” Marie commented, combing her fingers through her hair. “I’ve just had my hair and nails done and I’m not going going to be messing them up anytime soon.”

Willa raised an eyebrow at the blonde as she overheard the conversation. She didn’t want to interrupt what seemed like an important conversation but she did want to check on the other. Once the two finished conversing she made her way towards the other lightly tapping her on the shoulder. “Are you alright?” she tilted her head to the side a small smile appearing on her lips. “Sounds like you told them it was your way or the highway but i just wanted to check.”

“I know, which is why I’m here to completely distract you for half an hour.” Peter grinned, snatching some of the papers from Willa, hoping to get a rise from her. “You look like you could use a break, Willa- I mean, Ms. Drake.” He teased. “Lunch?”

“It seems all quite inappropriate Mr Paine.” Willa raised an eyebrow at the other as she looked back down to her marking. “I Can’t force you from eating here with me, but only if you give me back my papers.” she snapped unimpressed by the others antics. 

“Hopefully. Everything was better off without us,” Darcy huffed a little, always a little sad about the state of the planet. She was glad to be exchanging words with somebody that didn’t make her feel like she was absolutely insane. “What makes us different makes us strong, right?” she shrugged with a small smile. “We definitely all of things we’re scared of. Some people are just better at managing it than others.”

Willa smiled brightly at the red head, finally feeling comfortable with conversing about such an important topic. “I usually try to bring it up within the classroom, you know sustainability is a huge issue right now.” she let out a small sigh as she ran a hand through her hair. “Most of the other teachers think i’m insane for wanting to change the way we treat the environment.” she shook her head at the thought. “Sorry you probably don’t want to hear my rambling.” she offered the other an apologetic smile. 

“Well I’m not nearly as sophisticated as that,” Pietro joked.

“Wine’s only sophisticated if you label it as such.” she raised an eyebrow at the man a small smile playing on her lips. “Wine’s for everyone, the rich, the poor.” she started listing off why wine was so good before abruptly stopping herself. “Sorry i got carried away.”

“No, go for it. I can always get another when the line is shorter.”

Willa bowed her head at the other before she began to sip the drink. It was bitter to begin with but after every sip it went down easier than the last. “I don’t know how people drink this stuff daily, i’m definitely more a wine gal.” 

“Really?” Tucker replied, tilting his head to the side slightly. “It doesn’t feel like that. It feels like everyone chooses a path – doctor, lawyer, police officer, artist, accountant, whatever– and they stick to it. I don’t know how they do it. I don’t think I could ever. Decision making is hard already but being so decisive and confident just seems impossible to me. I guess I struggle to visualize the rest of my life… you know?”

“You could always be like rosa from Brookyln nine nine and be qualified to do a rage of different career path, keep your options open or whatever.” she chuckled softly to herself as she ran a hand through her blonde locks. “I mean i get what your saying, it’s not like were fortune tellers.” she joked lightly as she pondered a thought. “I’m just trying to make it through each day if i being honest.” 

“Doubles of everything it is,” Ophelia grinned, ordering as such before turning back to Willa. “We’re going for a real girl’s night now. All that’s missing is the face-masks and binging Gossip Girl.”

“What do they say about blondes, fast friends?” she grinned widely at the other. “Don’t get me wrong i’m totally down for cracking a bottle of red and watching gossip girl on my couch.” she chuckled lightly at the other. “Just let me know what your heart desires.” 

“Deal, that’s probably a good thing because I tell him my wine is ‘special grape juice’,” Kalie laughed. “Of course I’ll tell him what wine is one day, just not the role it had in his conception,” she chuckled and gave her friend a shrug. “How about a cabin? I love the outdoors, but I have my limits on how close I want to get to it through the whole night.”

“Thats almost scandalous!” she grinned widely at the other. “I don’t think anyone deserves to hear that story my love, i imagine it would be scaring for thages.” she let a small laugh escape her looks as she shook her head. “A cabin sounds fantastic, still accessible to a kitchen so i can have my evening tea.” she smirked at the brunette. “I love the wild but i agree it has its limitations.”

“As much as I’m not rushing to die anytime soon, I don’t think I could handle outliving you all. Or god forbid something like immortality. I feel like it’d get awfully boring after some time. And lonely,” she couldn’t help but go on a bit of a tangent. “That’s true. Sometimes seeing all those percentages and studies freak me out,” Darcy admitted. “Okay they always freak me out. But it’s nice to hear from someone else that I’m not crazy. I really do appreciate it.”

“I think it would be interesting to see how the world goes after civilization dies out, will the forest reclaim the land stolen away? will the animals flourish without humans?” she offered the other a small smile as she lightly shrugged her shoulders. “I’m just interested in the potential of things that are being held back by society and colonisation.” she nodded her head as she sympathized with the red head. “We all have our phobias it seems.”

“Destiny,” he lingered on the word. “Never could decide if I believed in it or not. But it does seem to make sense,” Tucker chuckled softly. “It’s nice that you feel a sense of it though, pidge. Not all of us are that lucky,” he admitted, almost answering her question before she had even asked it. “I’m not sure at all about anything,” Tucker shrugged. “Not sure if I’ll keep bartending or if I’m aiming higher. Not sure what I wanna do with my life. There’s too much choice and not enough. I guess it’s just kind of hard to choose where to go or what to do.”

“A choice becomes somewhat of a permanent thing doesn't it?” she tilted her head to the side as she mused the thought for a moment. “So many things are uncertain, even if you get a full time job and a stable life what if something suddenly changed” she shrugged her shoulders lightly a small pout playing on her lips. “I guess i just enjoy the smallest amounts of stability in a life thats full of uncertainties.” she nodded her head as she listened to his answer “You’re young you could still do a complete 360 and become a police officer who knows.” she joked lightly as a smile spread on her lips.

“You know what, I’m prepared to even splurge for two glasses. You deserve to relax,” she smiled back. “And they’ve also got great fries, so we might have to double on that too. Unless you’re up for sharing.”

“Well aren’t we just fancy gals.” she joked lightly as she walked with the other blonde. “I’d kill for some fries.” she grinned brightly at the other. “Oh i’m up for sharing but we might just be that hungry we have to order more than one serving.” she squeezed the others arm softly. “Doubles of everything in my opinion.”

“I mean sometimes I’m considered a little craycray because of how specific I can be about hygiene, but I don’t see anything wrong with wanting to take care of myself,” Darcy replied. “Sure I can get pretty persnickety, but germs can be really scary sometimes.”

A small smile appeared on her lips at the others honesty. “There isn’t anything wrong with that, you’ll probably outlive us all.” she chuckled softly to herself. “Well i mean germs eventually kill us all don’t they? everything we do is connected to germs, shaking hands or even kissing were spreading germs.” she shook her head as a small sigh left ehr lips. “Don’t call yourself crazy, you’re just being smart.”

“Yeah,” he sighed softly, “It does. Although wanting approval or attention from them is natural, it’s… it can get lonely really fast.” Tucker tried not to think about family too much. Especially not his own. The only family he was still in any proper contact with was his cousin Flynn whom he was living with. “Did you always want to be a teacher?”

Willa thought about the question for a moment before nodding her head. “For as long as i could remember actually, i couldn’t imagine myself being in any other profession.” she offered the other a small smile. “I always just thought it was my destiny, y’know?” she tilted her head to the side as she grew more comfortable with her answer. “I always wondered if i could of done something else but i don’t think i’d be as good at it.” she grinned at the other. “What about you? is being a bartender long term? or are you aiming higher?”
