Xander had been sitting in a chair at the cafe, thumbing through a magazine, when one of the many sticky notes heâd put in it un-stuck and fell to the floor. Just as he was diving to reach for it, a person blocked his path. He hadnât meant to scare her or get so close to her, he just hadnât been looking where he was going. âOh, Iâm sorry!â Xander exclaimed, shaking his head and taking a step back. âI just dropped something and wasnât paying attention to anything else. I really am sorry.â
her vision still blurred as she tried to make out the person in front of her, the voice just being enough for her to recognize. âxander ?â she asked, almost using her hand as a self made visor. her head was officially killing her at this point. âahh -â she muttered out. âcan you help me ?â she asked, her head turning back to the window. âi need help getting back home without loosing my mind. i canât see without my glasses right now.â
it was a mistake to leave the house without a pair of spare glasses. alex only realized this when it was too late. now, as she waited for the new pair of contact lenses to come in , she was left with nothing to help with her vision. she narrowed her eyes and looked out the cafeâs window, trying to make out the blurry shapes of the trees, a bench, and a couple of people walking by. an attempt she soon gave up on after feeling a sudden rush of migraine, probably caused by the excessive straining of her eyes. so she returned her attention to the cafe and the surroundings within the cafe. she only came in her to collect herself, but it didnât seem to be working well ââ suddenly she had felt a presence behind her, making her jump in a surprised manner. she wasnât usually this fidgety, but with her lack of vision, it seemed like she was on a higher alert. âyou almost gave me a heart attack.â she focused her eyes, the figureâs features slowly coming into view.
Nate looked at his phone as he listened to his music with one headphone in, the other dangling. Facebook was boring since it was the same old political shit, and twitter was even worse at the moment.Â
He sighed as he scrolled through his feed. âGod, whatâs a guy gotta do to see some funny cat videos on here. Isnât that what facebook was started for?âÂ
alex raised her eyebrows over at the male, a slight turn of her head to get a better look at the others phone. âi believe thatâs what youtube is for now. thatâs where most people are finding their entertainment these days. i didnât know people even still went on facebook.â
âalright,â nate sighed, deciding early this time not to put too much effort into trying to make a quick buck. he could be nice when he wanted to be, after all. âwhat subject is it? iâm good with math and science, those are no effort. but i barely passed english last year, so if you need help with that iâll try and find you someone who actually knows what theyâre doing.â
âahh -- nate youâre the best, have i ever told you that ??â she asked, a smirk on her face figuring that she got what she wanted. âitâs math, which is my worst subject. geometry to be specific. numbers and letters just donât work for me.â she shook her head. âdonât worry. if you need help with anything iâll help. which probably isnât the best idea because iâm terrible at everything but iâll try !!â Â
sienna glanced in the direction of the other, shaking her head in disbelief. âif only i were in college and not high school. life would be so much easier.â she would have a bit more freedom and could skip if she wanted. âiâve no idea. iâm not looking for a job right now and i definitely donât want to attend school, either.â she exhaled. âiâm sure they can do what they want. they run the school. there should be many days for that.âÂ
alex grimaced , âtrust me, life is no where near easier once you get into college. itâs a whole lot of studying and a whole lot of overthinking. also, the fact that student loans exist is beyond me.â her sigh left her mouth. shaking her head. âi donât want to look for a job either but i feel as if it is coming to that point.â she said with a small roll of her eyes. âitâs stupid.â
âI⊠am going to fucking die before the end of the year.â Isaac mumbled. He looked to the other person sitting across from him. âI know the year just started, but I already know Iâm going to die. First class of the day, professor already started teaching, and is expecting us to take a quiz next class. I have one day to study for a test that I donât even know what its about.â He shook his head. âEnough about my shit, how was your first day of classes?â
âtell me about it, i canât even think straight with all this information getting thrown at me. itâs the beginning of the school year and iâm already thinking about dropping out.â she shook her head, âthatâs horrible. they havenât taught near enough information on the first day and theyâre going to assign a quiz ?? i donât understand education at all sometimes.â she rolled her eyes slightly. âbasically the same, i donât ever want to return to my classes again.â
âi mean, i could do that. but just because i can doesnât mean i want to.â in hindsight, maybe telling people he would do âjust about anythingâ if they paid him enough wasnât the smartest idea. but he did say it, and he really could use the money before school started eating up too much time. âiâm usually more of a mow your lawn and help you move kinda guy, but iâll tell you what.â he paused to run some numbers in his head. âgive me $25 now, and $25 when iâm done, and iâll do it for you.â
alexâs eyebrows furrowed at his response. âbut i wanted help on two homework questions that i canât figure out.â she looked over at him, staring with her doe eyes. âcan you at least lower the price ?? i donât think two questions are worth $25. iâll do anything else.â she pleaded, crossing her arms over her chest. âplus, what about those times iâve helped you out. for free !! i think it might be time to repay that.â
â â does anyone actually feel like itâs time to go back to school already?â sienna wasnât used to going back so late. at her other school, it was already in session but that wasnât like any schools in this side of halston. âwe should all just skip the first day? what are they going to do expel us?â she knew this was a terrible idea but the idea was definitely out there for anyone.
alex sighed out, her mind already racing at the thought of school. âuniversity has already started and iâm already loosing my mind. i donât think iâm cut out for all of this. i heard that thereâs really good jobs you donât need a college degree for and and this point iâm all ears.â she mumbled out, glancing over at the other. âi donât think theyâd expel you for skipping the first day. but isnât there a designated day for that ??â
elsie pouted back. very good at this game of my horse is bigger than your horse. âbut are you dying? what is this food youâre offering?â
alex hummed, leaning her back on the door frame. âno currently, but i can always pretend so you can pay more attention to me.â she said with a raise of her eyebrows. âi havenât gotten anything , yet !! i wanted you to come along.â
âiâm writing a song.â elsie whined, hanging upside-down on whatever piece of furniture suited her. still strumming her bass to keep the melody going. âyou better be dead, or hemorrhaging, or need a hug, or have food.â
âahh -- what ??â alex glanced over at the other as she stood in the door way. âbut itâs important, iâm important.â she pouted, her bottom lip sticking out ever so slightly. âbut what if i need a hug and have food ??â
pls donât mind me bc iâm absolute trash and iâll be leaving this here before i ATTEMPTÂ work on alexâs bio. but hello,, this is my bb alex. hopefully you can all love her down as much as i do. feel free to like this if youâd like to plot.
LALISA MANOBAN, 19, SHE/HER ââ hey, did i just see ALEX walking around the block? i hear theyâre from the LANCE-HILL FAMILY and theyâre a CHILD who is a COLLEGE SOPHOMORE until they move out. they always look like theyâre hiding somethingâŠbut theyâre so INSIGHTFUL sometimes i wonder how they can be IMPRUDENT. they certainly canât be hiding SHE PLANS TO RUNAWAY TO THAILAND SOON, can they?
she doesnât remember much about her past life pre adoption
she dances in her free timeÂ
definitely prefers to be alone when she dances; insecurity about how she does is something she always had trouble with
genuinely feels bad about wanting to leave for thailand but she wants to stay connected with her roots
only knows what thirty minute naps are; total night owl in school most of the time.
when she isnât working, she will have earbuds in to keep herself at least a little sane for that time being whilst she dances.
probably in the studio or on a roof
doesnât like to follow what people say and will do whatever she desires. even though sheâs aware of the consequences.
very honest to the point of sometimes being brutal without realizing. though, she doesnât mean any harm. sheâs extremely soft
she can sometimes come off as someone who doesnât make the best decisions, so sheâs a dance genius and not a street genius.
some times she just wants to be around people and sometimes she wont want to touch someone with a pole. all in all, she wants to be everyones friend tho
her humor is all around terrible.
sheâs a little sad,, if sheâs in one of her moods sheâll tend to push people away or pull them closer
depending on the topic sheâll easily get bored of long conversations and will change the subject almost instantly. though if she is interested in the subject sheâll talk for hours upon end.
in all, she should be hired to star in the office.
