“You know you can’t just bring your hot ass over here and expect me to not totally stare, Sunshine. It’s practically illegal.” If Andy hadn’t been climbing, she would of placed her hands on Andy’s thighs - instead, she just whispered in her ear. “You never said how high I couldn’t put my hands.” Laughing, she took hold of one of the straps on the backpack Andy carried. “Let me take this, Sunshine. Seriously. I can carry this up no problem.” Mostly. She still hurt, but she certainly wasn’t going to let Andy try and take the heavier bag up with her.

“Who’s Troy Bolton and what’s UBC?” Sadly, it was a rather serious inquiry, but as far as sports went, Eretria knew absolutely nothing. She could go from the top of her head most statistics about sports, and if there wasn’t a statistic, all she’d need was an hour to formulate an approximate one after gathering the necesary information - needless to say, she was an asset around tax season. Hell, she’d been doing her parents taxes since before highschool. “Wait, what answers do I owe you?”

“Oh I don’t do fifty plus squats a day for your benefit. I know you’d like to think i did but no...and you can keep them where’s appropriate Miss!” She joked and then shook her head. “Leave it on. I think it’s helping me balance a little and if it snags then fuck it...it’ll be fine somehow.” She sounded a little nervous but she was also being desperately optimistic as she continued to climb. Her nerves were easing a little but that was because she was letting part of her brain be distracted while the other was content with the work her arms and legs were putting in. “Troy Bolton is a character from High School Musical. Basketball star with a killer voice and UBC -- University of British Columbia. It’s where I go to school...” She explained with a laugh and shook her head, readjusting her grip on a nearby pole. “And you owe me the answers to the meaning of life and other interesting questions. Actually not the meaning of life because you’ll talk for hours. Just a little catch up between us really...I know how you like being close to me so you can’t complain.”

Lydia: This is me, questioning that. Questioning that hard.

Lydia: Well, he's giving me a weird look. Can't a girl smile and laugh at her screen? It's not like I'm laughing at nothing!

Andy: You shouldn't question it. I mean it.

Andy: No you're laughing at me because I'm charmingly hilarious.

Eretria could hear her friend shouting, even from across the amusement park - probably had something to do with echoing voices. She decided to climb out of the booth and sit on the bars, shooting a paintball with her sling shot. Of course, it landed at least a good five feet from Cameron, but there was definitely a beautiful orange splat in front of her. “I look forward to playing with your ghost!” She laughed, waving down at her ant sized friend.

The girl decided she needed to get some actual climbing gear, because she may be experienced in this, but her friends weren’t. She just had no fear and was so use to this kind of thing. She loved heights. “Hang on!” She ended up climbing down, despite the soreness of her body still - and the fact she just shouldn’t of been doing it at all. Though she was still surprisingly fast, even with her injuries. She kissed Andy’s cheek when she got down, then climbed around so she was almost pressed against her body with her own. “Just climb. I’ll be here to totally support you, okay? Why don’t you choose a song? We can sing it. It’s proven that those who sing or something when they’re scared are significantly less scared. And by the time the song’s done, we’ll be up top. Fear’s totally just an illusion in your mind. Just be sure of your movements, ‘kay?”

Andy gave a slightly confused look when Eretria kissed her cheek but it wasn’t a very consistent expression as she knew the girl’s gestures. She knew her enjoyment of physical proximity and although Andy may jest about pushing her away she did enjoy Eretria’s company -- sometimes she was the only person who could keep up with Andy’s energy but she did think she was a bit nuts. “Okay you need to not grope me and stare at my ass while I climb. I wear these shorts for ease and enjoyment and not so you can stare at my perfect ass. So keep the support above the waist or on the thighs...” She teased before grasping another bar and hauling herself up. She almost wondered whether this counted as a decent workout; she figured it did because Eretria was in great shape. 

“And sing? What the hell do you think this is -- extreme Glee? I only sing sometimes. I’m the Troy Bolton of UBC.” She announced enthusiastically before decisively choosing to prop her foot on one of the nearby carriages. She used it to tug herself higher, making sure her backpack didn’t catch on anything behind her. She was really glad she’d purchased so many drinks now because she’d need them. “You owe me answers when we get up there.”

“I’m going to fucking kill you if this kills me, Spider Monkey!” Andy shouted loudly as she shoved her car keys in to her rucksack as well as her phone before tossing it back across her shoulders. She could see the ferris wheel looming as she crossed the abandoned park towards it. The scenery was something like out of a zombie film and although she reckoned she’d be skilled in an apocalypse, she did not want to take her chances. “The things I do for you! Ridiculous!” She called up to the woman as she tightened the straps of her rucksack and adjusted her soccer shorts a little, glancing only briefly up at the structure. Her feet were meant to stay solidly on the ground but she said she’d bring Eretria food and she’d told Cam she’d check on her. It seemed she had no choice with her weird allegiance to the two. The two who had fucked and the two she’d never fuck. Not now at least -- cross contamination. “Give me pointers! I’m sturdy and stamina filled but I’m no climber!” She reminded her as she pulled herself up on to the frame and scouted her surroundings. Very slowly and carefully she began to ascend, the athleticism and physical prowess proving non testing but her fear and worry grew because she could not afford an injury. “You better be grateful!”

Cameron wandered around. A goofy smile adorned her face. She couldn’t rid herself of it. Her muscles were tired in her face, but she didn’t care. She was happy. Truly and completely happy. However that could be the ecstasy coursing through her veins. She’d never really done anything harder than weed. It wasn’t that she’d judged because she didn’t– Cam had always been one to live and let live. She just didn’t trust herself on anything more.  But today, she needed it. Her life had been so completely derailed. Her dad wasn’t her biological father. Her best friend was certainly something– she didn’t even want to think about that. Practically bouncing towards the nearest person, she beamed. “Hey! Hey! You have a very shiny face. I mean– a pretty face,” she giggled, feeling somewhat thirsty. Her pupils must’ve been blown– and the glorious haze overtook her. Everything felt so close but yet so far. It was wonderful.

[andyxthomas-blog]

“Holy fucking shit why are you so enthusiastic?” Andy blurted out before she even really processed the woman. She’d been so content but then Cameron had practically flown at her and -- oh shit. “What the fuck is wrong with you?”  She hissed, verging on angry but delving deep in to her concerned tone. She grasped Cam’s upper arm and yanked her around the side of the building, fixing her eyes on her with sincere confusion and worry written across her own. Andy may not touch drugs at all but she knew her teammates did. She was in college after all and she’d seen how some of the people looked on the occasions she’d join them at clubs and parties. Only once as she stared at her own face under the influence of drugs and she’d sworn never again. “Is this some crazy night gone wrong? Are you lost? Why are you -- you called my face pretty....something is so messed up here. But you look so happy?” The drugs. “Are you okay?”

“Uh huh.” Was all that Celeste replied to the girl with a smirk. She knew she had said something else, but she decided to let it slide. “Of course we can still call it a sleepover. Even if we were eighty I would still call it a sleepover.” Celeste jumped up, and down while clapping her hands quietly. She grinned and squealed a little. “I’m so excited! Sleepover tonight! We can totally do yours, and I’m not going to judge your room at all. I’d offer mine, if you want to do that. Only thing is that my apartment is small, and so is my bed. Therefore, whichever place you want to do it at, it is completely fine with me.” She grabbed her backpack, and slung it over her shoulder. “Do you want to grab something healthy to eat while we plan our sleepover?”

[andyxthomas-blog]

“Okay then I shall never again question calling it a sleepover thanks to you!” She chuckled and rolled her eyes just a little before the excitement on Celeste’s face just made her stomach do little flips. She liked to see people so intensely happy that they became almost childish. “Well I have a big bed and my parents won’t be in until late but they wouldn’t care anyway. My brothers may be in but they’re assholes so just ignore them...” She explained sheepishly before pulling her towel tighter around her shoulders. “Healthy? Planning? Wow girl you are really talking to me right now but sure, you can plan whatever you want while we get something...or we can collect some food from my mother’s restaurant on the way back? Free of charge.”

Lydia: Awww, Andy!! You're the cutest person ever, oh my gosh. What brought this on?

Lydia: I think one guy is staring at me and wondering why I'm smiling so hard at my phone. Oops.

Andy: Had a gruelling training session. The burn in my thighs somehow reminded me. Don't question that either.

Andy: Maybe he's just looking at your smile instead?

Cameron: can you see what the actual fuck is going on with eretria? she's being weirder than usual. and i'm about to kick a trash can or something more dramatic.

Cameron: she also shot renn's wheels with one of her damn paintball guns.... ORANGE paint.

Andy: Well I suppose I could do a little investigating. Girl is a bag of nuts but I'll see what I can do. And we know if you kicked a trash can it would win - go masturbate or something.

Andy: HA! She has that really nice car too. Fucking A.

Eretria: You're mean. Does this mean not even a little making out?

Eretria: I'm not. She's totally adorable when she blushes.

Eretria: You never know. I fell. Do I at least get cuddles tonight?

Andy: Your mouth has been places so no making out. Herps.

Andy: She is. She is. A lot of girls have such a pretty blush thing...

Andy: You did but you got back up. What if I didn't and my entire career ended? Hmmmmmm. maybs...depends if I get any more calls. I have coaching in the morning.

Eretria: You can't resist me and you know it.

Eretria: Maybe she is. Maybe we should find out. She's a cutie. And blushes a lot.

Eretria: Just don't fall is all. I'll be waiting.

Andy: I can resist a sexually transmitted disease from anyone you may have been with because I don't trust Graham.

Andy: Hey, don't pick on girls who blush. It means they're sensitive and need to be adored.

Andy: DONT FALL?! oh yes i'm sure that's everyone's intention.

Eretria: No arguing there, Sunshine!

Eretria: Hey, Natasha's incredible, vodka or not. If you wanted to prove that you're incredible, yourself, I wouldn't mind getting behind that point.

Eretria: Lydia's cute, too. And if I'm sleeping where you can't climb, how can you get me?

Eretria: The view is worth it, trust me!

Andy: I'm sure she's lovely really. I believe you. Bet it's like getting literally drunk off her kisses. And you're not getting behind me ever...no matter how many moves you put on. And yeah Lydia is cute. She has a sweet face but saint in the streets, sinner is sheets? Maybe?

Andy: I'll get you somehow okay! Jeez. Right I'll text you when I park because texting and driving is bad for me. Also I really mean that I will throttle you if I break my valuable amazing legs.

[andyxthomas-blog]

Text 🍭 Eretria&Andy

Eretria: I have awesome legs, what are you talking about?

Eretria: Why not? Have you seen you? I'd totally sleep with you, Sunshine. Wait, where have my hands been? Do you mean Natasha, Cam, Addison, or Shane?

Eretria: It's just out of town. There's this amusement park that's been abandoned for almost ten years. I'm at the top of the ferris wheel. I made a thingy to bring everything up. A pulley system. But then you gotta climb. It's sturdy, though!

Andy: They're awesome. Not quite as good as mine but...

Andy: Oh I know you would but you basically just described the fact you need a trip to the clinic because you've got vodka guzzler, cougar fucker, okay addison is hot and you let the dude with shit fingernails come near you? grim.

Andy: I'll drive over then but if i fucking hurt myself and it ends my career then we are no longer friends and I will get you while you sleep.

Eretria: If I wanted you for a booty call, I totally would of said so.

Eretria: ... does this mean you're offering yourself for a booty call?

Eretria: And no. Totally not. It's this..you gotta promise not to tell anyone.

Andy: Love? Like you're okay...you have good legs but sure, I'll swing by and bring stuff from mom's restaurant. A treat.

Andy: You're seriously offering me a booty call? Maybe before but now I know where your hands have been and you might want to get checked.

Andy: Okay but seriously I cross my heart. I promise.

“Finally somebody who gets it. Where have you been all my life?! That’s an exaggeration. But where have you been since I got here?” He teased with a smile. Soccer was something not everybody understood, he’d heard the whole, it’s boring. You just kick around a ball spiel. It always made him roll his eyes and move on to another conversation. “Hey, toot away. We’ve gotta be proud of our skills. People assume soccer is easy, but they’re wrong. It took a bit to heal but it’s better than ever and basically the same as before. If I train too hard it acts up, but I’ve found the balance. But think about it. You’d end up being kids hero.”

[andyxthomas-blog]

“Probably roughing up my knees and sliding around on a field. And I mean I’ve been doing that forever and since you got here. More than likely.” She chuckled and continued to look at him with definite excitement all over her face. She didn’t just love playing soccer but she could talk about it for hours. It drove her mother insane and her brothers, despite playing most sports themselves, waved her away. “It’s so tough and the amount of injuries and strains we come close to are horrific. You’d know. And don’t say that about hero...I’d be a crap hero and it’ll make me emotional.”
