gath, kristine – krstngth‌.

Blonde sits with feet propped on desk, drawing on already heavily marked sneakers with a Sharpie. Friday detention is boring — of all the detentions they could’ve been thrust in, Friday’s was definitely the worst. The last detention she’d had was on a Wednesday, and Miguel Gomez had started a fight with Phil Kennedy over which flavor of Gatorade was better. Now that was entertainment. But today, it was way too quiet — as if someone had died. She doesn’t look up when Casper directs snarky comment towards her — instead, she caps her marker and places it on the desk, sliding sneakers off the desk and back onto the floor. Tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear, she turns to face him, brow raised. “ Y’know, you’re being really dramatic. Especially since I kicked his ass for you, ” she sighs, referring to the senior that had landed them in detention in the first place. “ What, did you want me to defend your honor with words? Because hitting him with a tray was way more fun. ” Kris shrugs.

the scenario had played out before him like the snap of his fingers  –  incomprehensible and fast-paced. before he’d been able to voice a response, the other boy had already dropped onto the floor and kristine’s tray had been tossed down beside him. the second act hadn’t been any more intelligible, casper being hauled off to the principle’s before he’d even DIGESTED the previous altercation. and now, there he was  –  a perfectly good friday wasted away. “ or not at all ! ” he raises his voice and is gifted a HUSH from the supervising teacher. “ i can stand up for myself, you know … no issue, no freakin’ problem. ” they both knew that was a LIE. casper often opted to attempted escapes, and if those failed  –  stay put and take it. with stride, though. so much stride it was practically pouring out of his ears. he’d laugh, he’d make a quip back – get his head bumped into one of the lockers, and that was that. “ at least we wouldn’t be stuck in detention. ” he murmurs. “ your go-to being violence is seriously concerning. ”

* / STARTER FOR KRISTINA GATH ( @krstngth )

O’NEILL HIGH SCHOOL – crawling with outsiders and black spring residents alike, no discerning difference between them on a superficial level. fundamentally, however, he had a list. no, really, he had a complete list of what differed between him and the highland falls native that sat behind him in calc. first point was the blatantly obvious … she was a she. the bullet-points become less TRIVIAL after that. none of that matters now, though, because his beef is not with libby smalls but with his own FLESH AND BLOOD – spiritually. “ remind me at some point to give you a refresher on the meaning of loyalty. ” he murmurs, snarky commentary inaudible to the underpaid teacher in charge of friday’s detention. screw this … he could’ve been home by now, scouring the web for GAME OF THRONES reviews. ( since the council had yet to approve of public access to hbo … less to do with protocol and more with the graphic nudity the service offers, he suspected. not exclusively but adults don’t see it that way. )

Alex Trimboli claims to have had 11 beers at Nana’s party. I don’t know about that, I don’t believe 11 beers. Wouldn’t you be unconcious after that?
