Newsflash: I didn’t. I looked a hot ass mess back then. But now I know better.

Uhm, well no one ever has to see your old photos, or at least now that’s what transformation and glow up days are. Progress is a blessing, that’s for sure.

Kiera just grinned and handed the drink to the other. “Bottoms up.”

Taking the drink, Tara nodded at the other girl before drowning her drink. “Another” she grinned.

“I probably have but I don’t go asking around what everyone’s major is first thing.”

“I mean, I guess, then again you could and try and make friends for the next four years that you’ll be sharing classes with.”

“Are you one of the ones who doesn’t like Drake, Tara?” Karma asked, a slow smile spreading across her lips. “Well, yeah, you’re right about that but I do prefer spotify a bit more.” she stated. “Yeah, dream is all we can do until then." 

“Okay, it’s not that I don’t like him, it’s just not all of his songs are for me.” she cringed slightly. “And with that statement, I’m sure I just pissed off like ten people somewhere.” Nodding she shrugged, “less having to choose individual songs is a pro for spotify too.” Tara pouted, pausing for a second, “or you could spit some sick beats and change the rap game?”

A few ropes might of been pulled in order to sell himself within the auction; after all, there wasn’t a rule against him telling a few white lies and enrolling one of the hopeless romantics of Omega wannabes to jot down a few ideas for him. It seemed to of worked within his favour, even if he wasn’t one hundred percent honest with his words, he still scored a date. Approaching his date, equipped with skates in either hand, a smug expression was portrayed against his chiselled features. “I got your size,” Lance handed her over the skates before situating himself down beside her. “Talk about a surprise, am I right?” Granting a throaty laugh whilst he worked on his skates, the male’s snuff-coloured eyes briefly diverted over to greet Atarah’s. “Don’t worry sweetheart. There’s plenty more where that came from. —- So, we are on a date and I think this calls for us to get to know one another; preferably I do prefer to do this over drinks or a game of strip poker but I’ll settle for ice skates.” Slanting his head to one side, the male pondered his next action for a spilt second before extending an hand out for the girl to shake. “We got off to a somewhat rocky start last time we met, let’s turn over a new leaf and start a fresh. Hi, I’m Lance Williams… you must be Atarah, am I right?”

All Tara had wanted was a pleasant guy to spend her day with doing something fairly interesting. That and the fact that she was a firm supporter for the charity the auction proceeds went to, made the only reasons she decided to be part of the event. However the moment her partner was revealed and in addition, a little research, she wasn’t sure if being disappointed was the right reaction or ‘donating’ her date to someone else was the better option. It probably wasn’t possible but why couldn’t she lie and convince someone else to go on the date for her. In the end, she sucked it up, regardless of who it was at least she’d get out of the house and do something. Tara glanced around the rink, her attention turning back to Lance as he came back with her skates. “Thanks” she muttered shortly, placing the skates besides her as she took off her boots. As he spoke, her gaze remained on her skates, more focused on them being as tight as possible rather than his presence. Fingers paused and she glanced at the male next to her, bemused. Her gaze lingered vaguely, before she proceeded to finish tying her skates. "Rocky, is one way to put it" she noted, straightening back up. Skeptically, she pursed her lips, eventually shaking his hand, "Atarah or Tara works just fine for me... Nice to meet you, Lance." she replied. Withdrawing her hand, she scanned the rink, "don't laugh but I've never gone ice skating before, so I have no idea how this whole thing works."

“Funny, me either. I don’t think it’s one a lot of people strive to achieve.”

“You haven’t met people in your own major yet? Huh. Mhmm, true, so then why are you?”

lovekarmaxx:

“A lot of Drake’s songs. Tori Kelly.” She chucled. “I mean, whatever appeals to me, honestly.” She shrugged. “I thought so. But in today’s industry, you’re better off going on YouTube or Spotify.” She sighed. “Wouldn’t that be nice and refreshing.”

“I honestly don’t think I’ve met someone who doesn’t like Tori Kelly, which is great because she’s amazing. Definitely met people who don’t like Drake though.” she mentioned. “Well YouTube, you don’t have to pay extra for unlimited skips therefore you don’t get trapped listening to some terrible song.” Tara muttered. “We can dream, maybe one day.”

Thankfully the struggle to find foundations to perfectly match our skin tone is no longer an issue. I swear, you don’t know how many trail and errors I had with giving myself yellow skin because it looked more passable than wearing orange foundation from it being too dark.

Amen. It’s not fun to go to five different drug stores to find your shade and the only one that carries it, is out of your shade. Dang, how exactly do you pass off yellow skin as being the right shade? I never thought I could get away with it so I’d wipe it all off.

“I can’t make any promises.” She smirked begining to pour the drinks

Tara shook her head, watching her pour. “Guess it’s too late to back out then huh.” she joked.

“Something is wrong. Like seriously wrong. They need all the help they can get, honestly. Like why in the hell are you out here like it’s Summer or something? It’s not the time for that shit.“ She rolled her eyes. "No, I know what I saw, and what I saw was literally FIVE people, Atarah, FIVE people.” She put emphasis on five. “That’s WAY too many." 

“I think they’ve gotten so used to the below zero or freezing cold days that anything above that, even if there’s snow on the ground, is warm to them. I’ll never get it but I’m hoping there’s some kind of logical explanation.” she reassured. Tara laughed a bit, “Alright Des, I won’t question what you saw. Were they at least together?” she asked. “’Cause if they’re friends I think it would make a little more sense.”

“There are just a few people who like….I don’t know. Seem to think that it’s their way or the highway, and I resent that implication. Who are the more annoying ones in your opinion?”

“It’s easier to just listen to them rant than argue against them if they’re easy to spot. I mean, usually people are entitled to their own opinions. The more annoying ones to me would be the pretentious pricks around.”

mazeryder:

“No, not exactly. My major is social work and sociology just plays a part in it.”

“Ah alright, makes sense now. I don’t think I’ve really met any social work majors.”

“Could someone please, please explain to me why some people are out here in this freezing cold ass weather in shorts like it’s a hundred degrees or something? I’ve seen at least five people and I just…. What the hell is wrong with them?" 

“I think it’s a Midwestern confusion thing, I don’t know how it happened but it did and honestly I’m starting to think there’s something wrong with their heads. Goodness sakes, five people? Are you sure it’s not like the same two boys wearing different shorts every time, and you’re just getting them confused?”

“ … and then we locked eyes and he pulled me to his chest and as soon as our lips were about to touch… the dream freakin’ ended !! Ugh, can you believe that? But lemme tell you, it was still great.. Like can you imagine? I had never thought of Conan O’brien as HOT but that dream was just sooo… I get tingles just thinking about it. Anyways, so how was your winter break? ”

“No, I can’t imagine at all. You almost had a wet dream about Conan O'Brien, I never thought I’d hear or say those words in my life, and I never ever want to do so again. He’s like 50, he could be your dad- ew okay okay I’m done. I can’t think about that anymore it’s just sorta kinda a little bit weird.” she shuddered. “Well, my winter break definitely didn’t involve any Conan O'Brien dreams, nothing as exciting as that.”
