After hooking onto Alden, that major J. R. R. Tolkien fan. “Looks like we’re paired up for another round in this shitty game..” he sighed before bringing up his phone to repeat the message from B. “Truth - Have/would you let someone else be blamed for something you did? Or dare - Do your best to do or say something that could break up one couple in the room.” Looking up at her, he pursed his lips, unsure of what to pick. “You wanna go for it, or?”

She tried to flash a smile, but it faltered quickly. At least this round was with someone she’d had an actual conversation with at some point. Alden listened quietly as he read the text. “I don’t think I could ever break someone up so I guess that leaves me with truth, huh?” Her fingers linked together in front of her. “I, uh, I have let someone take the blame for something I did. It wasn’t my idea but...I...I didn’t stand up and say anything so...I kind of just let it happen. It was in elementary school...” The girl was unsure if she needed to elaborate, but she would rather be safe than sorry. “Our class had a pet guinea pig and I was playing with him one day after school while waiting for my nanny to pick me up. I don’t think I latched his cage properly and he ended up getting out. My friends, uh, they had this vendetta against this other girl in our class so when Mr. Butler asked who had been the last at the guinea pig cage...they pointed out that Sophie was the one responsible to feed him the day before so everyone thought it was her.” Her lips pursed. “I realize that might not be such a big deal now or anything, but I still think about it sometime. Everyone hated her for months.” Shaking her head, Alden sighed. “What about you? Truth or dare?”

After All, We’re All Friends Here ||Alden & Davey

@daveyfck

Davey...she believed she’d spoken to him once before this. Of course, she wasn’t one hundred percent sure and with nerves setting her on edge, Alden was even more unsure. She rung her hands together, seeking him out in the crowd. “Davey?” Her lips pursed briefly. The girl had made her choice, though she couldn’t help but feel like her answer was a cop-out. Still, there wasn’t a person she hated and she wasn’t cruel enough to make something up for it. “You’re Davey, right?”

Text @ Alden and Davey:

B: Alden and Davey, you are partners for this part of my game.

B: Truth or Dare?

B: Tell your partner who you lost your virginity to, or to someone you dislike and list every reason that you dislike them to their face.

[aldenbrooks-blog]

Play along with my game or I'll tell everyone that you've let yourself be talked into giving roles to people who didn't deserve them. - B

No Alden, you are. You’re such a genuine person and try your hardiest to help whenever you can.

I mean, I just try to do what’s right, you know?

Alright, well let’s h-head out then.

“Okay! So, you’re a photography student?” She asked as she set out walking.

Lord of The Things | Alden

@aldenbrooks

Declan pushed the six pack of beer he had stocked up in his room into a plastic bag along side a bag of crisps. It had been completely random for him, but inviting a random girl he had barely spoken to out on a date was apparently a thing of his now. Well, he just wanted to have some fun and it had just seemed like the perfect moment for him to grab it. Pushing open his door he made his way down the corridor and eventually over to the place the girl was staying at. He knocked on what he assumed was her place and waited for her to open.

[aldenbrooks-blog]

The rest of the afternoon had passed in a state of nerves. This wasn’t a date. It was two friends hanging out and watching movies...except they weren’t friends. As she frantically picked up her room, Alden straightened abruptly. Was this a date? Running her hands down her face, Alden sighed. Her stack of Lord of the Rings DVDs were stacked next to her TV but she had an entire assortment out as well, just in case. Though he’d offered to bring snacks, she’d still gathered a few. A pack of Oreos, some popcorn, some carrots were sitting on her desk among the pictures of her throughout her childhood travels. Not much into makeup or appearances, Alden was still wearing the same jeans and v-neck she’d been wearing earlier. The only difference was that she’d lost the baseball cap. She jumped up as Declan knocked on her door. After a slight hesitation, she crossed over and opened it. “Uh...hey,” she greeted with a soft smile.

thekathryngray:

Well, thank you. I appreciate this.

No problem. I’m always willing to help!

[aldenbrooks-blog]

harmonythecanadian:

And that is one of the many reasons that are you the best.

Oh, I don’t know about that.

Declan curved a smile with his lips when she began fondling with her cap. “Great,” he mimicked in a low tone of voice. “I’ll see you at seven then. And I bring us some snacks. What is your poison?” He asked once starting to back away.

“Oh, uh, I’m not picky.” Her mind was racing. What was happening right now? “Uh, just whatever you prefer will be fine, thank you.”

asliceofaiden:

“Yeah–I–know,” he says, “pretty much every Michael Bay movie.”

Alden nodded enthusiastically. “Yes! Exactly!”

[aldenbrooks-blog]

thekathryngray:

Well, I s-suppose I am in good hands.

Exactly! I can’t remember the last time I got lost here.

[aldenbrooks-blog]

harmonythecanadian:

Either of those are fine by me.

Okay! I’ll probably get a variety.

connortakesnewyork:

“See? There’s a perfectly reasonable method of storing them. That means you definitely don’t have too many.” 

“I’m glad somebody gets my methods!”

declanvaara:

Declan took a slight step towards her. Noticing her pink cheeks. “Yeah, I do.” He confirmed “Your place at seven?”

She was thankful that she was wearing a baseball cap. Her eyes darted away from Declan as she reached up and adjusted the hat, pulling it down more. “O-okay, uh, great.” Alden flashed him a quick, nervous smile. What was happening right now? “Yeah. Seven is good.”
