Trigger warnings: underage drinking, cursing, slut shaming, mentions of drugs August Harvey was not the kind of girl who had to think very much. If all goes according to plan she will be attending an ivy league school quitting halfway through to marry some rich law student. Retiring before finishing university and spending the rest of her days drinking overpriced cocktails on the beach.
Her blonde hair fell just right. Her nails were perfectly manicured and her clothes were adorned with expensive price tags. The way she walked held the poise of a princess. The clink of her heels following her wherever she went. Everything was bland and fake but it was perfect so who cares.
August hated all of it. The clothes were itchy, and having your mom bleach your hair since you were a baby doesn't exactly do wonders for a young girl's self-esteem. Having to make awful small talk and drink tea and eat those awful finger foods was not exactly her idea of a good time either. With a fake smile and some acting though, it appears like she's happy so no one asked any questions.
Though there were some perks of having more money than most people could even dream of. The parties always had expensive alcohol and she could always count on Rafe being there.
For her far less "conventional" coping mechanisms. Namely hooking up with him and getting free drugs. Sure neither of those fit her "pristine" reputation but both were far less boring than what her typical day entailed.
It was just what a little flick of her hair and a smile was able to get her.
Her parents were out of town for one of their business trips which normally meant using people who had less than them for their own selfish antics. Leaving August home alone for yet another weekend.
Which meant throwing some sort of party full of fake plastic barbies and downing way too many drinks for someone so young. Making sure to snap a few Instagram photos along the way so her followers were jealous of her perfect beach life.
Which is exactly what she was about to plan.
August pushed open the door to her bathroom and sat down at her built-in vanity.
