cel        ..?          why the long face?

what?    oh!  the party.   [a laugh left him, he then shook his head lightly.]    i know,  just needed some fresh air.    what about you?    

@wantedsolis        um okay?     thanks.      [     she looked at him sideways,      brows raised.       ]        do you need something?         the party is over there.       

you look pretty 

hm          ..?             [the sleep wears off for a split second of reckoning. romy, rattled from the comforting hold of slumber’s merciful hand, hands over some more of the purified butter  — all natural —  of course.]            —oh.   i have a crush on someone.  i think.  someone you know.

@beauzzz it's smells good doesn't it?   [ a bright smile, she gracefully took the flour from her.       ] stay awake for me.. please.   you're gonna love this pie.    [ a small pout, turning to her friend.    shaped brows knitted almost thoughtfully.     ] where are you with your head, romy?     because it's definitely not here.

i’m usually asleep by the time we get to mixing..         look at how far we’ve come,    cel..       

[  she doesn’t acknowledge the thanks,  nor does she return the smile.  ]  ah,  right.  daughter of snow white.  wish i could say the same.  [  everly paused for a moment.  ]  if you know me why would you want to sit with me  ?

@mirrorshards     [     a nod,    she sat down next to her and puts her bag beside her.    a small, sweet smile played on her features.     ]      thank you. i know who you are.    i’m celeste,   it’s good to finally meet you.    

[  the girl stares at her for a moment,  almost as if she’s willing her to turn away.  but when she doesn’t,  everly sighs and nods her head to the seat.  ]  no,  it’s not.  go ahead.  

@ofagrabah       um..   a few minutes?     i promise! 

penelope   blinked   rapidly   ,   the   blood   rushing   to   her   cheeks   as   the   weight   of   the   silence   finally   hit   her   .   she   shifted   her   feet   uneasily   on   the   stone   ,   her   fingers   fumbling   briefly   with   her   sleeves   as   she   realized   she’d   been   caught   completely   off   -   guard   .   she   offered   a   wry   ,   guilty   grimace   ,   her   eyes   finally   focusing   on   celeste   with   an   apologetic   intensity   .   ❛   god   ,   i’m   sorry   el   ..   ❜   she   exhaled   ,   the   words   tumbling   out   a   bit   clumsy   as   she   tucked   a   stray   hair   behind   her   ear   .   ❛   i   was   staring   right   at   you   ..   i   swear   but   my   brain   just   took   a   walk   somewhere   else   .   i   promise   i’m   listening   now   —   could   you   repeat   that   last   bit   ?

@twoshoe       penelope,      have you even been listening?     

@thieflamp        [    she nodded,     fiddling with her necklace as she watched him.     ]    alright.  you didn’t inform me..     though.      [     she took a few steps forwards,      brows knitted still in slight concern at those last words.      ]      no trouble,   right?      

you don’t have to.   [he remarks,  a simple, faint tone laced his voice.   a deep exhale, as he turned around to face her.]    i have to do some things back home.    

@thieflamp       oh..  good.      i already got worried.  [     those words left her lips,  and her brows knitted,      polished red nails closed the door behind her and she stepped into the room, almost tentative.      a confused expression latched onto her face,    as she watched him.      ]      what are you doing?     

@beastsrage       well..  you look hungry,    and i baked some apple pies.  i’m sharing them around.  

no.              [she pauses then, momentarily and inadvertently consumed in a sudden onset of conclusive thought. just to then,]           sounds hard..      no thanks.           [a small smile graces the ends of her lips, its longevity smothered out by a yawn.]           yeah,    i would.    i keep getting mine tangled from my naps..     maybe a movie afterwards.    i missed our movies together. 

@beauzzz        that’s just..     what i’ve been told.  have you never felt like that..?    infatuated.  [     she turned her head to the side,   to look at her.    a small,  sweet smile on her face.   ]      i don’t know if it’s true,     though.       [   a drawn out silence.   ]    you wanna have a sleepover when i’m back?       we can do each other’s hair,   and such.        it will be fun.  

doesn’t always end well** omg

@twoshoe   /   hi! love youuuu
