everything will glow for you.

autumn carlyle. eighteen. senior at harwich high school ♥ keep calm and carry on 'cause the haters ain't shit but hoes and tricks...or something like that?

[harleycameron]

Do you think a Snuggie would be breaking the school dress code?

[autumn-carlyle]

I'm sure it would be breaking the social dress code, but I'm not sure about school...

[phoenixgates]

I’d like to think relaxing and reading a good book counts as a bang!

[autumn-carlyle]

...Yes, you'd like to think that, but you'd be sadly mistaken. You can do that stuff on New Year's Day, just not New Year's Eve.

[phoenixgates]

Spare me, please! 

[autumn-carlyle]

C'mooooon, Phoenix! Don't you want to end this year and start the new one with a bang?

[orson-walker]

You sure you didn’t get that expert title mixed up with a few of your other ones? 

I think you meant to say practical. Autumn, have you ever met children? If they aren’t scared of monsters under the bed then separate corridors won’t stop them. 

[autumn-carlyle]

By now, I'm actually an expert at keeping them all sorted, thank you.

You're the one who has to stop them, that would be your job! Just keep them busy and entertained in their own area so they don't want to go elsewhere. Besides, you can't just let kids run out of the room, whether thy're being separated from old people or not.

[phoenixgates]

Call me boring, but I sort of feel like just staying home for New Years.

[autumn-carlyle]

You shouldn't have said that, because now I'm gonna have to drag you out with us!

[call-me-zane]

Thank you. But … I’m scared to answer that. Nothing?

[autumn-carlyle]

Any time. Scared? Don't be scared! That's a lie.

[call-me-zane]

I tried to explain to someone that there were other songs in the machine but they freaked out and almost told the manager so … no. 

[autumn-carlyle]

Let me take the bullet for you next time. But answer me this: what would you want to sing?

[juliettavalent]

It’s gotta be close at least! Hey, thanks!

Okay, well maybe boys have wanted to kiss me before. But I never notice because I just like when people are nice to me! Okay fine, it counts.

[autumn-carlyle]

You may be in the ballpark. Any time.

Who doesn't? But you have to be wary of certain kinds of niceness. Thank you.

[kennedysalvatore]

Because then you’re even more terrifying than you already are. No, you don’t need to tell me that. I want him to still have the people in his life that he counts on, and I honestly can’t say I was ever all that jealous of you, or worried about your presence in his life. Part of that is arrogance on my part, and part of it is knowing that he’s trustworthy. I know that, don’t worry. I never really believed in those until I had to experience them. Thinking about them being in a room together makes me cringe, because I know Xavier can only bite his tongue for so long. Me too.

That’s… actually really cool. Somewhere far away sounds great. I don’t have anywhere specific in mind. I think Xavier and I are on the same page about being in this for the long haul, so I guess that’s a decision we have to make together. I definitely want to study journalism. I’ve always tossed around the idea of being a critic.

[autumn-carlyle]

I'd like to think I'm kinda powerful, though. You're...ooh, how do I put this? Probably one of the only people who wouldn't have been. But you were right, you're always right. And luckily for me, I got a wonderful friend out of staying friends with my ex. Good. I'm content to passively accept them until I'm forced to go through them myself. I'm sure even I would have some things to say to your father if I ever met him. I'm more wishing than hoping by this point.

It's kind of out of left field, but I've always loved museums. I basically want to live in one. Good! Because I'm coming to your wedding. You would be the best critic, of everything, truly.

[call-me-zane]

[whispers to the person beside him idk what’s going on] If someone asks to sing a song from Taylor Swift’s new album again, I might scream. 

[autumn-carlyle]

You're allowed to say no, Zane.

[kennedysalvatore]

Autumn,

So this is totally a new one for me but I was trying to think of something we both would enjoy and that we could use/do together and for some reason a day at a spa crossed my mind. I know I love things like jacuzzis and oils and the like, and you seem like you would too, so I figured this was the best route.

This is for SpaFinder. Basically, use this gift card to go onto their site and browse the spas closest to us. You pick one, book whatever you want us to do that day, and we’ll go the first second we’re both free.

Honestly I really hope you don’t hate this.

Thank you for everything.

Kennedy

[bazeashby]

I’ll recommend Baudelaire immediately.

[autumn-carlyle]

You are the best, thank you!

[orson-walker]

I hope you don’t consider yourself an expert in recognizing that difference.

Nope, never. I’m using my authority as business owner and completely shutting that idea down. Old people whining about the kids eating all their cakes and never being able to seep because of all the noise? Not taking that chance. 

[autumn-carlyle]

As a matter of fact, I do, excuse you very much.

You're so rude. They can have separate corridors or something. But if you want to cut your profit in half, that's fine.

[quinn-valentine-blog]

You’re really going to prioritize things based on how a dumb game does? I’ll come to the social butterfly herself, of course.

[autumn-carlyle]

No, I like talking to people. I'll be waiting.

[juliettavalent]

I’m pretty sure someone tells you that you’re the best like ten times a day. I’m probably nine of those times.

I really doubt that. Well it’s now been confirmed that Baze wanted to kiss me so that doesn’t count as an example. 

[autumn-carlyle]

...Well, no, not that many but!! You're a peach.

You can't doubt what I know. That absolutely counts.

[devonivy]

Maybe. Hopefully I will be better by the time you graduate.

[autumn-carlyle]

Don't you dare doubt me, young man! If not, I'll feel like a complete and utter failure. I may cry.

[jackenglert]

Autumn,

I know we’ve only talked a couple of times, but from first impressions you’re very sweet. Kindness is a trait that you can’t really learn, but I think it can be influenced by sweets. I don’t really bake or anything like that, but I got you two of my favorite candies. Hope you like them

Jack
