in the centre of the dancefloor, valentina spun around in a circle with her hands in her hair and a smile on her face. “wow. whoever added a little something to the punch bowl did a amazing job!” she called out to the person beside her. “im so buzzed!” she added with a giggle.
ALIA picked up the bottom of her dress, attempting not to step on it with her heels. she still hadn’t become accustomed to wearing such hard shoes to walk in. “you really do have the cutest laugh,” giggling to herself as she watched the other. “i didn’t even know the punch was spiked. i’m gonna have to get some.”
“im not necessarily mad at myself but, i could see why it would frustrate a sports junkie like you.” poppy allowed soft laughter to escape her lips as she smiled at alia. “well, just the usual – i went to maldives with my girlies and spent most of my time in france afterwards. it was definitely needed after that whole huxley fiasco.”
“ HEY, i can’t help that sports is the only talent i was born with,” alia giggled, knowing the way poppy felt about athletics. “ugh, the maldives is always a good time. i really want to go to that underwater hotel they have there... huxley fiasco? is there any update on that? tell me all the juicy details.”
i finally made some wanted connections for alia !! so if any of these spark ur interests hmu.
ex(?) girlfriend | at fifteen, ALIA had began to accept her sexuality & had fallen for a close friend of hers. the two of them were both still trying to navigate the beginnings of their relationship when ALIA came out to her family when ALIA’s father threatened to cut her off financially if she ruined their family’s image. scared to lose her life she’d built at bodley, she cut things off with [ CONNECTION’S NAME ] abruptly. it’s been two years and now the two are ?????
platonic soulmate (preferably m) | ALIA and [ CONNECTION'S NAME ] are always together, finishing each other's sentences, and seem to know each other better than they know themselves. the two of them have been so close for so long, people tend to think that they are dating which the two of them are both equally amused and repulsed by. | TAKEN BY julian hwang.
unlikely friends | [ CONNECTION’S NAME ] and ALIA aren’t really friends outside of the times they’re spilling their hearts out to each other. originally it started when [ CONNECTION’S NAME ], extremely distressed, literally ran into ALIA and ALIA refused to let [ CONNECTION’S NAME ] go until they were talked down. when something goes wrong, you can be assured that these two are together. | TAKEN BY poppy beaumont.
random hookup (f) | ALIA and [ CONNECTION’S NAME ] were friends prior to their spontaneous hook-up and their world turned upside down. dazed, they decided to start dating that moment and to their credit, tried to make it work for a few weeks. muse a finally ( and nervously ) let out that they weren’t feeling it. to their relief, [ CONNECTION’S NAME ] admitted they were feeling the same. they decided to stay friends, but now have the added “i’ve seen you naked” awkwardness. (bonus points if this person happens to be her tutor) | TAKEN.
skinny love (f) | ALIA and [ CONNECTION’S NAME ] have been in love with each other for like, ever. neither of them are willing to admit it though, even to themselves. their friends are constantly joking about it and they both wave it off – but when one isn’t looking, anyone could see the adoration in the other’s face with ease.
sports rival | ALIA has always been involved in sports, having a fiercely competitive side. [ CONNECTION’S NAME ] has also been involved in sports for quite some time and the two always seem to be going head to head, despite playing for the same team.
Ophelia furrowed her brow. “So I talk too much but you don’t want me to stop talking so you won’t be alone? I think you’re confused.” she clicked her tongue not having taken the words positively. “well - maybe if you joined the conversation you would. what do you like talking about?”
“ I MAY be,” alia chuckled. she realized that she probably sounded like she was contradicting herself. “yeah, you’re right. i mean, i like football. i can talk about that for hours, honestly. but i know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea either.”
“trust me, i wish i was kidding.” poppy took a sip from her red solo cup. “girl, same.. i went to a few beaches but, just ended up sunbathing for the entire day.” she sighed out.
“ I FEEL that,” alia nodded. “i’m almost mad at myself looking back. go anywhere cool? no, wait -- maybe don’t tell me. it might make this pool party look even more pathetic in comparison.”
-- “YOU’RE cute, but you talk too much,” alia mused, swirling the remnants of her cup in front of her as she realized the other had finally taken a moment to breath. she’d finished her drink some time ago, and now all that was left were two half-melted ice cubes that’d she’d taken to jostling around their container. small talk had never really been something she was great at, especially when it didn’t involve sports of some sort. “but i mean... don’t stop talking. i don’t -- wanna be alone or anything. i just... don’t know the first thing about anything you just said.”
“UGH – piece of advice, don’t get into that vile pool.
pretty sure some sicko just took a fucking piss in it.”
“ ARE you kidding?” alia sat on the edge of the pool with her feet in the water and a cup in her hand. “i feel like my summer has been seriously lacking in some swim time.”

BASICS.
FULL NAME: alia quinn bradenton.
GENDER: cisfemale.
PRONOUNS: she/her/hers
AGE: seventeen.
DATE OF BIRTH: july 13th.
ZODIAC SIGN: cancer.

MORE ABOUT ALIA. tw: homophobia.
alrighty. so alia was born to marshall ‘mars’ & mary-anne bradenton. her father is a very renowned chef & tv personality (think gordon ramsey-esque) & her mother is an interior designer.
she’s the middle child of three, so that’s always been an interesting dynamic. definite case of middle child syndrome.
at fifteen alia confessed to her parents that she had a girlfriend (as innocent as it was) and her parents were not receptive. her father basically threatened to cut her off financially if she were to come out publicly bc he was afraid of how it could stir up any media drama, so she pretty much went back in the closet & has been there since.
a legacy student at bodley, which is good bc this child is an AWFUL student. like... she’s lucky she’s good at sports & stuff bc she is really terrible at anything scholarly.
overall v excitable and funny and tomboy-ish but also v clingy so if there’s any sort of friendship or anything she probably wants to be around people 24/7 & never alone.
a lil naive just bc she’s over-trusting. like, she wants to see the best in people.
