Amelia Combs ; a moodboard

“Yeah, definitely. You know what you should get?” He drew some information from the top of his head, ticking off on his fingers breeds of dogs that he knew to be small enough to fit into a bag. Comically, he thought that Amelia was small enough to fit into a bag, but he didn’t comment on it, lest he offend the petite blonde. “Chihuahua. Or a Yorkie. Pomeranian. Or maybe a toy poodle or something? Anything with teacup in front of it.”

“I’m thinking about a beagle. They’re small but not yappy.” She laughed.

Julian laughed. The girl’s hopeful optimism was infectious and he couldn’t help but smile along with her, shaking his head as he did so. “Oh, yeah,” He started. “I’ve seen the closets in the dorm rooms. You’ll definitely have the space to keep a large dog hidden. No one will pay attention to the barking, either–the last time I was in one of the housing halls, I couldn’t even hear myself think.” 

“They are  massive, but maybe a smaller dog will be less conspicuous. The constant parties should drown dog sounds.” It was rare she slept an entire night, but it was nothing white noise and a low dose of Benadryl couldn’t fix.

‘‘Unless you train them of course, but then that’s a whole other responsibility to look forward to,’‘ Sam placed her forefinger on her chin, thinking about it. ‘‘But then you have those guilty eyes when they destroy something and ugh— it’s so difficult to stay mad.’‘ Sam only had those experiences because she used to babysit a puppy when she was younger. ‘‘What, even like… I don’t know, lizards?’‘ She asked the girl, a little surprised. ‘‘They never really feel like pets to me, but I’ve met people who keep them as such.’‘

“Yeah, that’s one hell of a responsibility. College is so expensive that I don’t think property damage is the best thing to deal with.” She laughed. “Okay maybe not them. More like the fluffy animals!”

She had told her self no. She’d promised herself she wasn’t going to put herself through the torture of viewing the animals that were up for adoption knowing she couldn’t get one. But the crowd was fairly thin, most students spending all their time and money at the kissing booth, and the sight of puppies drew Isley to them like a magnet.

“This is cruel and unusual punishment”, she told the blonde next to her as a litter of golden retrievers jumped up on the hay bale separating them and the adorable balls of fur. “Most places won’t even allow students to have pets. Why do they have to torture us so?”

Amelia leaned against the pen, forcing her eyes away from the dogs. “Very cruel, it’s like they’re testing us— seeing if we follow the rules.” She half joked. A puppy jumped onto the back of her leg, and she turned around to pet it’s head. “It’s so hard to not scoop them all and run away and live in puppy paradise.”

Elizabeth hated Julian for asking her to volunteer at the Petting Zoo. He should’ve known she’d spend the entirety of the day fawning over sweet little fuzzballs that she couldn’t take home without a lecture from Astrid. “Ugh, I know, right? I’ve had my eye on this little yorkie that I swear I’m going to have live in my purse so that my sorority adviser won’t know I’m breaking house rules. I wouldn’t pick out a pup if you’re in a dorm, though.” 

“You could have a fancy doggie purse! Plus, if his feet never touch the ground, it technically isn’t breaking rules.” She suggested. “Yeah, I definitely shouldn’t have walked over to the dogs.” She laughed, realizing her bad decision making.

As the founder of the peer listeners club, Julian had no choice but to be stranded at the Petting Zoo for the next three hours. It wasn’t a horrible job, no–who didn’t like playing with cuddly animals? But it was still a job, and Julian had an unhealthy amount of those awaiting him over the next couple of days. Volunteering with his Greek brothers and sisters at the Kissing Booth. Volunteering here with the pet adoptions. Helping out with the Pumpkin Patch…And those were only the bare minimum. Needless to say, he was already starting to feel a tad overworked, and he found himself longing for a bit of liquid release as he stood in the blazing sun. “I don’t think your R.A. will make an exception for a dog that big,” Julian quipped after listening to the girl speak. “They’re all real cute, though.” 

“Hmm, maybe I can hide it from her. I think I can pretend to not have a large dog hidden.” She joked, running a hand through the puppy’s soft fur. “It’s hard not to grab them all and run.” She watched the dogs chasing eachother around in the grass, wishing she could keep one in her dorm.

Sam was standing right next to the girl, incredibly sympathetic to what she was saying and probably feeling at the given moment. ‘’Oh I know,’’ She nodded with an almost sad kind of a smile. ‘’I feel like I have to be talked out of it every waking moment when I see one.’’

“Stressed college students and puppies are a bad mix. It’s just asking for destroyed dorms.” She laughed. She swore the dog was begging for her to adopt. “I need to be talked out of every animal, it’s a severe problem.”

Amelia stood in front of the pen with stumbling puppies. A fluffy husky caught her eye, and she was struggling with the idea of walking away. Her dorm was far too small for a puppy, especially a large active dog. “Quick, someone talk me out of a dog, or I’ll probably get expelled.” She said to no one in particular.

“If I told you my disguise that would ruin the surprise, wouldn’t it?”

“Probably, but at least you’ll be fine if the party is busted.”

[amelia-combs-blog]

“True. I’ll keep that in mind. Catch me if you can, Combs.”

“I don’t think anyone will be able to with that brilliant disguise. What mascot would you be?”

“You can always pin your hair up and hairspray it black,” He suggested halfheartedly, his attention harder to focus on to the blonde before him. “I’m trying to go for something a little more memorable- or not. I kind of want to be in a disguise so if it gets raided, I can get the hell out of there without a problem.”

“A mascot-esqe one could work. You could be memorable and disguised at the same time.”

Holden thought to the party at the High Tide apartments that week and resisted the urge to take her words to heart, to respond what he really thought about the possibility. His sister had gotten into trouble at a party which resulted in her passing and the thought of someone being able to whatever they wanted and possibly worse because of a stupid holiday made him shift uncomfortably in his shoes. However, all Holden did was shrug, give his best smile, and nod. ‘It’s just small talk,’ He reminded himself. ‘Not a petition to change the world.’

“So, what are you gonna be for Halloween? I was considering a coffee addict in a state of withdrawal but I realized it wouldn’t be much of a costume since that’s practically me on a daily basis.”

Amelia noticed the change and quickly answered, “Mia Wallace, from Pulp Fiction. I thought it was a good idea, but the wig keeps falling off. The coffee addict is a good idea, just steal a Starbucks Apron, and maybe consume actual coffee.”

“Very true,” She agreed again with a soft laugh. “Although the least favorite of mine from the horror genre are the…uh, what are they called? Parodies! Those are insufferable. I do not think I’ve ever found one to be entertaining–they are trying too hard with the comedy. It makes it dull.” 

“Such as ‘Scary Movie’, and whatnot? They’re usually pretty bad.” She laughed.

“Anarchy for one day. I know a ton of people who would chew me out for supporting that.”

“Maybe within some legal limits. Halloween, however, should be anarchy.”

“Or at the very least more opportunities to embody someone else without being deemed a poser or whatever. It should be a tradition for people to dress on their birthdays instead of being encouraged to roam around naked- actually, scratch that. I think that should be more socially acceptable, too.”

“You should be allowed to do anything on your birthday with no judgement. It would be law or something.”

“Or an exclusively custom Jack Skellington costume, complete with the enlarging head detail.”

“That would be sick too. There’s not enough Halloweens for cool costumes, there should be two a year.”
