“I think she’s pretty serious about it, honestly. That trip was so long ago.” She chuckled. “Deal. I’ll see you then.”

“Once Ivy makes up her mind about something, she definitely sticks to it. I was just surprised by it at the beginning, that’s all. I had thought that the Paris trip would influence her fashion, not her diet”. All teasing aside though, she was fully supportive of Ivy as she actually ate pretty similarly herself. “Honestly, I’m kind of excited for you to come along and meet the people from my doctorate program”.

“Yes, I must. I’m in a committed relationship now, so I have to get the satisfaction of breaking hearts from somewhere.” She laughed. “Because I like raw veggies and ranch? Well, thanks.”

“I didn’t realise that our friendship only existed so that you could have the satisfaction of breaking my heart”, Aaliyah dramatically complained. “Most people favour junk food over raw veggies and ranch, that’s all. It’s nice to have a friend that gets it”, she shrugged.

“ Surprisingly that’s not the first time I hear that ” she shrugged with an amusing smile on her lips. “ I’ve heard that from four different people ” Quinn laughed. “ Oh, I wanna see you fight for it ” she retorted. “ I’ve heard something like that in the news, poor older sisters ”

“Yet even hearing that repeatedly isn’t enough to make you change your ways”, Aaliyah retorted. “I don’t know about Ivy but I’m far too mature to fight for some medal that you probably won’t even buy”, she said, childishly poking her tongue out at her younger sister. “I’m glad that they’re starting to recognise our hardship, it’s about time!”

        “ I will send it to you, don’t worry about it ” she laughed, shaking her head softly. “ I’m not going to be ashamed of my living style ” Chanel smiled, she loved shopping, she just couldn’t say no to going on shopping trips ( it didn’t matter if it was with someone else or on her own ). “ Just wait for a bit and you’ll have it ” she assured. “ What? Falling back? Oh, shortcake, I’m not falling back for that idiot ” she shook her head. “ He had a chance and he ruined it, that’s all he’s getting ” she raised her hands. “ Wait … she’s here? Wow, the world hates us ”

“Okay good because I’m putting a lot of trust in you right now”, Aaliyah joked. “Your living style or your addiction?” she teased. Her face lit up with Chanel assured her that those pants were on the way. “Have I mentioned recently that I love you?” She laughed when the other woman insisted that she wasn’t getting back with her ex-boyfriend. “Good for you. I’m sure you’ll find someone better, someone that doesn’t hurt you”. After all, they were still in university. Relationships shouldn’t be so complicated, not when they were still young and should be enjoying life. “Tell me about it, I genuinely thought that I’d never see her again”.

“Please text me. I’m down to take any free snacks that would go into the waste bin otherwise.” Austin didn’t mind using free snacks as motivation. It’s something that would save him cash. “Quinn shares my snacks with me. I go over to hers most of the time to finish my coursework.” Austin felt comfortable with Quinn. The two could study, talk and laugh all at the same time. “Yeah? Feel free to come and chill with me. My door will always be open to the Jones sisters.” Austin was super close friends with Quinn and he thought Aaliyah was drop dead gorgeous. That’s why he sometimes blushed when she spoke to him. “Want any help carrying everything you’ve brought to your study group?”

“You’ll be the first person that I text”, Aaliyah promised. “It’s nice to know that Quinn is capable of sharing because I’ve never seen that quality in her before”, she joked, grinning at Austin. Honestly, she thought it was nice that her sister had someone like Austin in her life -- Aaliyah could see that the two were close and it really did make her happy. “I’ll keep that offer in mind. Don’t be surprised if I’m knocking on your door in no time”, she jokingly warned him. “The study group isn’t until tomorrow but if you wanted to help me back to the dorms, I’d be so grateful”.

“storage space like this when you have a kid is a godsend.” lily added. “i’m moving in to an apartment and i’m getting most of the furniture from scratch rather than moving things over so it’s a little… intense.”

“You have a kid? How old?” Aaliyah asked. “Wow, that sounds like a big project. If you need any help, I’d be happy to assist”.

[aaliyah-jones]

lilykozmaquinn·:

lily turned the laptop back towards herself to look and nodded. “i think you’re right. it looks like there might be more storage space too which i need.” she considered. “thank you, sorry, i’ve never really had to think about interior design stuff before.”

“I’m definitely not an expert when it comes to interior design but you can never go wrong with more storage space”, Aaliyah agreed. “Are you renovating your place or something?”

“Damn Aaliyah, you’re cold.” he said, feeling his cheeks warm with embarrassment. He rubbed the back of his head. “I get it, I do. But it’s been months. I would settle for being treated neutral.”

“Come on, Grant. Even you have to admit that was a good one”, Aaliyah informed him. “How about this? When Ivy decides that enough time has passed to treat you neutrally, I’ll do the same”.

[aaliyah-jones]

loveynguyen·:

“Amen.” She grinned. “Dramatic. But I will hand it to you that you’re also honest. I’m all out of the will to tell other people they’re right today. I’ll just say that I agree.”

“We both know that I’m not overly maternal but I will admit that the two of you made a good kid”, Aaliyah complimented the other woman. “Sometimes I think that I should have pursued drama instead of psychology”, she joked. “When do I next get to see Mia anyway?”

spencerstjames·:

raising an eyebrow at the other’s answer, spencer threw his hands in the air as he shook his head. “i think i kind of missed the part where that’s my problem. can’t you see that i’m using this table all by myself for some reason… if i wanted to find someone else to study with i would have, but it’s definitely not my intention.” he said with a shrug, before looking right at the other. “so, i think it’s time you go before i start yelling. you have one minute now.” he said with a smile.

“Do you really have to act like this, Spencer?” Aaliyah groaned. “This is literally one of the only free spaces left in the whole library and I’m only going to use this end of the table, specifically the end that you aren’t using”, she pointed out. “I would have thought that you’d be willing to make that small concession for me, considering we spend hours together at swimming and diving training each week”.

         The brunette raised her eyebrows, “ I have a 102 item list of why I love you on my laptop, I’ll send it to you after work ” she chuckled softly. “ Shhh ” the girl took her index finger to her lips “ We both know that’s true but the world doesn’t have to ” she said in a whisper. “ Dr Jones, sounds good, It’s powerful ” Chanel nodded her head. “ I’ll make you a whole look, I’m working on it ” she winked at her friend. “ You should have, I don’t know how are you not complaining about all the clothes you have ” Chanel chuckled. “ Well, I wasn’t expecting anything less ” she nodded.“ Well it started with us as friends with some benefits but then feelings started to develop and then he had to leave to texas for deployment but those feelings were still there ” she continued. “ But I found out he was also messing around with other girls and it ended there ”

“I’m going to be absolutely devastated if I don’t receive that list by the end of the day”, Aaliyah quickly retorted. “I’m fairly sure that the whole world already knows about your shopping addiction, it’s not exactly subtle”, she teased. “Dr Jones does sound amazing but I’m starting to think that the doctorate program will kill me long before graduation”. She was nowhere near close to finishing her dissertation but she was exhausted already. “I can’t wait for my Chanel Gray custom piece”. She listened intently as Chanel explained the story. “Please tell me that you aren’t considering falling back into some toxic cycle with this guy”. It sounded like Chanel’s feelings had gotten hurt the first time around. “Honestly, there must be something in the air because my ex-girlfriend is also on campus right now”.

“ Well when she started cutting all those greasy things I could have sent her to you ” she joked. “ Well, I would ask you to send that list to me, I’m spending Christmas with my mother, she would love being surprised with something healthy ”

“Honestly, I probably would have gotten along well with your mom. I was pretty strict on myself diet wise when I was a teenager”, Aaliyah admitted. “Feel free to stop by my dorm room sometime, you can check out my cupboards for inspiration”.

Carter had already lifted the hot dog to his mouth and was ready to unhinge his jaw just to get a big enough bite, but when she asked if he wanted to buy her one, he paused. “Me?” He looked at her, slowly lowering the hotdog. “Yeah, for sure.”

“Sorry, I feel terrible for interrupting your lunch”, Aaliyah said, feeling a little guilty over the fact that he had stopped himself from taking his first bite. “I just didn’t think to bring my wallet out with me because I wasn’t planning on buying anything but now that I’ve seen your hot dog... I’m a little envious”, she admitted.

grant-mitchell-rp·:

“St-steroids? You think I’m on steroids?!” he was just barely able to contain himself from shouting. “I would never use steroids. You know I work hard for this.” he motioned at his body, not realizing he was giving Aaliyah the exact reaction she was looking for. “It’s not that I’m proud of it. It was a mistake on a short relationship. I don’t think I need to be reminded of it constantly.”

Aaliyah couldn’t help herself, bursting into laughter at his dramatic reaction. “God, your reaction was gold. It was even better than I was expecting”, she said through her laughter. “She’s my sister, Grant. It doesn’t matter that it was a short relationship, what matters is that you hurt my sister. If the roles were reversed, would you really be nice and friendly with someone that hurt your family like that?”

chanelgraymu·:

       “ You are, that’s one of the reasons why I love you ” she smiled looking at her friend. “ Look, you don’t know how much I love the fact that going out shopping is part of my coursework ” Chanel laughed. It wasn’t, obviously, but it was her way of thinking going shopping would help her with her future designs. “ I still don’t know why someone actually decides to start a doctorate ” the girl chuckled. “ My life … pretty chill actually I finished what I had to do for my classes this morning, I made the prettiest pattern for a pair of pants that I’ll start sawing tomorrow ” she told her. “ Bad thing … turns out my nearly something is here and … well I don’t even know how to feel with that ” 

“What are the other reasons?” Aaliyah questioned, clearly digging for compliments. “Keep telling yourself that, Chanel. We both know that you’re just trying to justify your shopping addiction”, she retorted. “It’ll all be worth it when people have to call me Dr. Jones”, she said, a hint of wistfulness in her tone. She wished she could skip to the end, to walking across the stage and graduating, because the program was honestly killing her at the moment. “When are you going to make me a pair of pants? Between you and Ivy, I should have a whole custom made wardrobe but the two of you are slacking off”, she teased. “Okay, forget the pants. I want more details about that”. 

[aaliyah-jones]

quinnjonesmu·:

       “ Who said that? They were lying ” she teased once more. Annoying her older sisters was the thing Quinn loved the most. “ Actually you and Ivy have been putting up with me as much … you both should fight over who gets the medal ” she joked. “ I’m obviously not going to buy two medals ” the younger jones added with a grin on her lips. “ I’ll never be satisfied ”

“You’re my least favourite of all my sisters”, Aaliyah retorted, rolling her eyes at Quinn’s teasing comment. “Stop being such a tight ass, Quinny. You can afford two medals”, she insisted. “Have I told you recently that being the older sister sucks?” she said in response to Quinn’s admission that she would never be satisfied.

Noemi smiled at the girl raising her brows a bit “Wow that is amazing, you go girl” she shook her head “I could never, I am studying nursing though” she nodded “Its not too bad but clinicals are awful”

“It sounds amazing but it’s definitely kicking my ass. I’m just hoping that I actually survive the program”, Aaliyah replied, only half-joking. “That’s really cool, I’ve heard that the nursing program here has a great reputation”.
