—— ❝HMMM, I DON’T know. i think i prefer the real thing than just a picture.❞
mace
mace groaned softly as he was woken from his slumber, but was truly jolted awake when he heard the thud of layla falling to the ground. he sat up, watching her from his place on the bed before beginning to laugh uncontrollably, “you alright there, nugget?”
—— SHE RUBBED HER eyes for a few seconds before slowly sitting up and nodding. her hands also began to rub her back, even though the pain was tolerable already. ❝yeah, i’m fine,❞ she mumbled, standing up and brushing off her legs. ❝at least that was kind of like an alarm clock, right?❞

rosie
ROSIE: some dork showed up 30 minutes early to class this morning ROSIE: she was chugging coffee because she thought she was already late ROSIE: it’s me i’m the dork
LAYLA: was the coffee at least good? LAYLA: but damn that sucks /: LAYLA: what did you do for the rest of the 30 mins?
mace
a smile formed on mace’s face as she spoke. he brought his arms over hers and grunted in response, feeling his breathing even out. “you tell anyone, and i’ll kick your ass. nugget.” he murmured, eyes closed.
—— AS A FEW hours have passed, the sudden music of YEAR 3000 by the jonas brothers was playing through layla's phone for an alarm. groaning, the girl laid her back for a moment before rolling over. next thing she knew, she ended up landing on her back on the floor. ❝fuck.❞

Tanner: my wife doesn’t drive and well I would be stuck till I sobered up
Tanner: [ sends location ]
Layla: oof. well, luckily you have me to pick you up ✌️
mace
he felt himself get right to falling asleep when he was hit with a pillow, jolting him awake. he looked over to layla and groaned, rubbing his eyes, “layla. please don’t hit me with pillows.” he grunted, pulling a blanket over his head and turning away from her, “if we’re gonna nap we’re gonna nap. stop talking.” he murmured, closing his eyes again.
—— ALL LAYLA COULD do was smile from his reaction. as he turned away, she wrapped her arms around him from behind, making sure to feel cozy then closed her eyes once more. however, she just had to tease him one more time before finally going to sleep. ❝you know, i think it's cute that you're the little spoon.❞

Tanner: I honestly just need a ride home but if you wanna do that too I can definitely be Down
Layla: yeah, it's fine. it's nice to drive during the night anyway, so dw about it
Layla: i'll see you in about 10 mins? just lmk where you are
Text|| Whoever
Tanner: people who don’t drink?
Tanner: that would be an option if I could drive 👍🏻
Layla: touche
Layla: i can drive if you want? i'm thinking of getting some snacks anyway
Text|| Whoever
Tanner: who drinks on a school night? Me and the worst part is I ran out of cigarettes
Layla: uh, i think the better question is who doesn't drink on school nights?
Layla: and why not just get some more? i'm sure there's a few stores still open. or gas stations
mace
“you haven’t filmed me singing before? i don’t know if i should be complimented that you’re so immersed in our performance that you forget to document it or that you don’t care enough to.” he joked, voice slowing as he found himself getting more and more tired. he nuzzled his face into her hair, letting out a breath, “hmm…” he sighed, “fuck it. if we sleep in, we sleep in.” he grunted, pulling her close.
—— ❝LISTEN, I DON’T think i've filmed before because i'm too busy enjoying the music. and getting a few drinks. you can't blame me for wanting to drink at a bar, okay?❞ as comfy as she was and as much as she wanted to sleep right then and there, the moment he mentioned about sleeping in, she was quick to sit up straight and grabbed a pillow before smacking him with it softly. ❝don’t say that. your band’s counting on you.❞ with that, she instantly set an alarm at least an hour before the show then went back to her original position. ❝i want to sleep almost as much as you, but this is your first show, so you shouldn’t miss it, m.❞
indigo
@byelayla // CLOSED STARTER !
she sat there in the bleachers as she watched the ladies of stigma kappa out on the field. they probably hadn’t notice her there watching their every moves and jotting it down but she didn’t mind what she did mind was how she was gonna greet them, those thoughts came to a closing when she saw them make their way out of the field. her lips slightly parted as she grabbed her notebook from the bleachers and hopped off which led her to the ground. she had grass stain marks on the knees of her black jeans. she jogged over to the group and quickly bend slightly to brush off any existence of what happened. she notice the president of stigma kappa and cheesed waving her hand frantically. “ this may sound weird but i was watching you guys and taking notes, but i still can’t figure out what this whole sorority sisters thing is.. so leader ? yeah enlighten me on what this thing is about, i’m actually thinking about joining one, you guys don’t haze do you ? i mean i can but i just can’t, doesn’t matter.”
—— AFTER BEING WITH the girls to work on a fundraiser and making sure everything was running smoothly, it was finally time to pack up. a suggestion came around to go out for drinks and as layla was about to shout in excitement, she soon saw someone coming over and tilted her head to the side, eyebrows furrowing for a moment then gave the other a small smile. the brunette just told them she'd catch up before giving indigo all her attention. she was glad to hear about how interested she was because personally, layla loved being in a sorority and was proud to be the president of sigma kappa. ❝i don't think it sounds weird. i'm glad you're into it, honestly.❞ pursing her lips, the brunette gave the questions a moment or two to think about. she could have sounded fake and talked about how their sorority was about philanthropy and sisterhood, which it still was, but it just wasn’t the only thing that went on. ❝well, aside from being known for parties, i guess you can say that i just want the sorority to be welcoming for others and to make sure everyone feels safe. like they have a friend they can rely one, you know? the sociable part is just a big bonus. and i wouldn't call it hazing, i'd say it’s more of doing a few tasks.❞

—— WORD FINALLY CAME to layla about how leti wanted to be a part of sigma kappa. a reason why every time she would see her on campus or hear about the girl visiting the house, wanting to talk about being a part of the sorority, she ignored her and an excuse about how layla was busy or out at the moment would be made. it might have been an immature choice, sure, but layla didn’t care at all. it wasn’t her business to get into since it wasn’t her relationship, yet the only reason why she cared so much was because of mace. he was her best friend that meant so much to her and to see her old best friend hurt him that way, it left a bitter taste. as she went on a stroll, heading to class, she somehow ended up coming across leti. with a roll of her eyes, the brunette had two options. either continue ignoring her or finally talk to. the first option sounded extremely tempting, however, she didn’t want to get a reputation of not giving someone a chance. pulling out her earphones, she wrapped them around the back of her neck before walking up to the other and shoving her hands in her jacket pockets. ❝leti,❞ was all she said once she was near enough. ❪ @vitcrra ❫
jordyn
❝ perfect ! ❞ jordyn exclaimed , leaving her spot on the couch to change out of the sweatpants that she was wearing. it had been quite some time since she had been out with layla and she was excited. who knew what the two would get up to ? ❝ i’ll see you soon. ❞ hitting the red end call button after exchanging goodbyes with her friend. with her outfit now changed , jordyn gave herself a once over in her mirror , quickly applied a fresh coat of lipstick and grabbed her things before heading out the door and towards the bar. once she arrived , she settled into a seat at the bar and ordered two shots of tequila , looking around to see if layla had walked in.
—— AFTER DEALING WITH the first few days of classes, layla was already starting to feel tired of them. sure, she enjoyed her major because of how much she's passionate to write, but that didn't mean she enjoyed sitting in a classroom, taking notes. so thankfully, jordyn made a call and was happy to be going out with her. especially since she also missed the girl. she wanted to catch up and hear about what she's been up to over the summer. putting on a black dress, she made sure to look at her hair for a moment and made a confident pose before walking out the door with a denim jacket and a wristlet. upon walking inside, she immediately went straight to the bar before finally seeing jordyn. ❝heeey! ooh, is that one mine?❞ she exclaimed, pointing to one of the shots with a smile before wrapping her arms around her. the girl also made a mental note to hit up the dance floor. it felt like years since she last danced, even though it’s been only about two weeks at most.
mace
“i disagree. i think it’s incredibly entertaining watching you get drunk and almost neck yourself by dancing on tables.” he replied, clearly amused. he shut his eyes, realising for the first time that day how tired he actually was. he kept his eyes closed when she spoke again, pressing his lips together to keep from laughing, “butterfingers? i’m a guitarist. my fingers are far from buttery.” he grunted, shifting so that he was on his back and her head rested against his chest, “it’s not for at least six hours, so we should be alright.”
—— SHE NUDGED HIM softly and rolled her eyes. ❝yeah, well, you singing drunk is just as funny. next time, i'll make sure to record it and make you watch because it's--... something.❞ when changing their positions, she nuzzled into his chest for a moment before closing her own eyes, feeling completely relax and happy to be where she was. during moments like these, it felt like nothing else around them mattered to the girl. as if her past, the anonymous website, all her responsibilities, and everything else going on in her life didn't matter as much. ❝okay, but what about the candy? i think they’re pretty good and i doubt everyone will think of you having slippery hands. even if they did, that just makes the nickname more amusing for me then,❞ she said with a giggle. ❝alright, a nap it is. just make sure you don’t oversleep and to wake me up too.❞
mace
“that’s likely because we’re both terrible with alcohol.” he noted, tapping her nose, “and i want to make sure you’re okay when you’re drunk, and i can’t do that if i’m drunk.” he explained, wrapping his arms snugly around her when she prompted him to. “i mean, i’m always up for a nap.”
—— ❝WHAT? DEFINITELY NOT me. i think you've mistaken that part for someone else,❞ she replied, sticking her tongue out at him, almost as if to touch his finger with it. at the mentioning of taking care of her, layla shook her head. she appreciated it though, but believed she could handle anything that was going to happen. ❝yeah, but i'm sure it's no fun just watching me get drunk. and what's the worst that can happen? me dancing on tables without a shirt doesn't sound so extreme.❞ the brunette began to wrap her own arms around him to snuggle him as well. ❝how many hours until your show? i don’t want you to miss it, butterfingers.❞ did she like the new little nickname? she felt unsure about it, but wanted to see if it sounded decent at least.
jordyn
her whole body perked up hearing that her friend was currently free. dragging herself into an upright position on the couch , she continued , ❝ in that case , i need you to meet me anywhere that currently has a happy hour going on. ❞ jordyn needed to get out of her stuffy apartment before she literally died of boredom and she missed seeing layla’s face so why not kill two birds with one stone ?
—— GOING THROUGH HER closet, she was mainly searching for an outfit to wear while going out. if she was going to get drunk, she might as well look cute while doing it. plus, she enjoyed wearing hot outfits when she felt like it and her mood was down for it. ❝sounds good to me. i'll meet you at the one closest to campus?❞ she questioned, finally pulling something out of her wardrobe.
