◟ ㅤ walker scobell x fem!reader ࣪ ﹒⋆﹒
in which, reader is invited to an old friends birthday party!! turns out its full of actors, internet stars, inspiring artists, and one really cute boy.
y/n was sprawling around her room. clothes hanging on random handles, clinging for dear life to their respective hangers. some draped across her bedsheets, carefully, not to wrinkle them.
it had been week since dior reached out to y/n, and now, it was just hours before the party.
her mind twindaled, trying to picture which outfit looked best.
rianah and jane, sat in the midst of the chaos.
confused on the whole situation entirely.
‘i can’t believe your old friend just dmed you out of the blue.” jane sighed, picking a shirt off the floor.
‘i still think its a scam’ rianah stated.
“she showed me pictures of us yesterday” y/n turned around, her hands scrolled to find the pic dior had sent her yesterday.
the two hovered over the phone, with courosity.
“awww” jane and rianah awed in unison, moving closer to look at the screen.
y/n pulled her phone back, and the three went back to picking out clothes.
“do you know who else is coming?” jane asked.
“shes an actor right so probably other actors” rianah stared at the shoe boxes at the top of.
“yeah, yeah probably that” y/n agreed.
“do you know anyone specifically”
jane plopped into the squeaky spinning chair. rianah was still looking at the shoes, peering on her tippy toes.
“no maybe her cast mates, i—” y/n fidgeted with her hair, the sound of boxs falling starling her.
“—do you need help with that” y/n turned to rianah, whos hands were piled with shoe boxes.
“it’s going to be awkward” jane stared.
“what?” y/n said confused, while trying to zip a pair of boots
“the party? you dont know anyone” jane inquired.
“she said she introduce me to people at party” y/n reassured.
y/n sighed, she wished she could have brought jane and rianah along, or atleast one of them, but it seemed like to much to ask dior. after all they hadn’t seen each other in years, things were still a bit awkward.. she was excited for tonight, although thinking about how awkward it was going to be was making it a bit, nauseating.
“we should have just went shopping” rianah huffed, her eyes fixated on the mess, clothes were everywhere, draws halfway open. the room looked like a clothing rack tornado hit it.
“no this is perfect” y/n says. spinning around torwds her two friends.
she wore a blue green striped long sleeved sweater, with a red velvet skirt that had a cute kinda obnoxious bukle on it y/n hated it, but the color was too cute for it to go to waste. she paired it with brown boots and the same color bag to match.
y/n didn’t quite yet have her drivers license, so her mother drove her to the party. she had told her mother about dior getting back in contact with her, the older woman was happy to hear that the two were able to reconect. y/n even heard her talking to diors mother one night.
everything felt like old times, but couldn’t but feel a bit unsure about it all.
what if her dior don’t click like they use too? they’d both gotten older, and gone down different life paths. i mean do we even like the same things anymore? y/n’s mind pondered.
the two had been texting all week. everything was fine, yeah, but what jane had brought up earlier was starting to get to her. what if it was too awkward?
y/n kissed her mother goodbye. shutting the car door, checking to make sure that the gift bag was in her hand.
she walked torwds the building, ‘spinning colors bowling alley’ the sign read lit up brightly with a rainbow of colors.
the door pulled open, the sounds of laughter, bowling balls rolling, and faint music, filled the echoing room.
y/n scanned the area and spotted diors party. dior raised her hand, waving it in the air. she smiled, and quickly walked over torwds y/n who stood shyly by the entrance.
“hiii!” dior slightly bent over to hug the girl.
y/n smiled, although her body stiffened as dior hugged her even tighter.
“oh my goodness you look amazing!” dior said, finally let the shorter girl out of her grasp. she stared at her, almost like she was trying to see what was different about her.
“you too, you look—“ y/n paused, trying to find a word to describe the girl infornt of her.
while growing up y/n always thought dior was pretty. but my goodness did she grow up to be as beautiful as ever.
“..stunning!” y/n completed her sentence.
“come, i’ll introduced you too my friends,” dior grabbed y/n by the rist, and guided her over to the gathering of people.
“okay, oh this is for you” y/n handed her the gift bag that hug on her rist, dior nodded, and smiled gratefully.
the two walked over to where everyone one was sitting. y/n was a little stunned, everyone looked amazing, and she be lying if she said she hadn’t seen atleast one of them before.
“guys this is my old friend i was telling you all about, y/n!” dior introduced the girl.
everyone’s attention shifted towards y/n. the group of teenagers erupted into a burst of greetings.
a short girl with brown skin and long curly hair stood up first.
“hellooo, your outfit is so cute, im leah!” the girl y/n now knew as leah said, giving her a side hug.
y/n stood, studying the room for a place to sit.
a girl with black, flowy curls scooted over and patted the seat beside her.
“I’m malia,” she said, turning toward her.
“nice to meet you.” y/n nodded
“have i seen you somewhere, you look familiar?” malia narrowed her eyes playfully.
y/n let out a nervous laugh. “uh… maybe?”
the girl tilted her head.
“wait. you sing, don’t you?” she asked, her eyes widening slightly.
“a little bit.” y/n froze for a second.
“i knew it!! dior showed me one of your covers before.” malia gasped dramatically
“ohmy god,” y/n groaned, covering her face.
“It was good!” leah called from across the couch.
“like, scary good.” the girl added on.
before she could answer, dior called out from near the bowling lanes.
“y/n you wana play?” dior asked out towards the girl.
“this is charlie, walker, aryan, mckenna” dior said, motioning around.
“hi,” y/n smiled awkwardly.
walker stepped closer first.
a silence settled between them, while sounds of crashing pins echoed through the alley.
“so… you and dior are childhood friends?” walker asked.
“thats cool,” he laughed softly.
“makes me wanna talk to my old friends again.”
“yeah, they should have elementary school reunions or something.” y/n smiled.
“see? exactly.” walker pointed at her dramatically.
“very important stage of life” y/n noted.
“oh, absolutely.” walker sarcastically agreed
He laughed, and the awkwardness eased just a little.
“so where you from?” he asked.
“here kinda, more south side though.”
“woww, that’s far” y/n gaped.
“you come to cali a lot?” y/n looked around.
“yep, mostly for work.” walker nodded.
“ohh, your on that show with dior, right?”
“yep, have you seen it?” walker asked.
“ouch, that hurts” walker pretended to look offended.
“okay relax, i’ll watch it eventually” she laughed.
the two laughed. it wasn’t awkward anymore. and, for a second, neither of them spoke. the slince between them didn’t make it uncomfortable.
walker glanced at her, then quickly away.
“your turn,” dior interrupted, pointing toward the alley of pins.
walker sighed dramatically, “saved by bowling.”
y/n smiled, taking a deep breath, placing her fingers in the holes of the bowling ball, picking it out of the machine. her posture slightly changing under the unexpected weight.
she walked towards the alley way, her eyes focused, as she swung her arm forward, tossing the hevy sphere down the runway.
the boll was on a steady roll.
y/n prepared herself for failure. diverting her attention from the alley, only for a second. and then..
she looked back at the bowling alley. STRIKE! flashed on the digital screen above the runway. all twelve pins had been knocked over.
the machine hurried to replace them.
the girl was a bit shocked. she hadn’t played bowling that much, except maybe when she was five? y/n surly didn’t expect to knock all the pins down are her first try. huh lucky first go, yn thought.
“what the hell?” y/n mumbled shocked.
“WOOO!” dior cheered along with the others.
“good job!” mckenna said.
“first try!?” aryan said.
“okayyy, y/n!” leah added.
“heyyy, you got a strike!” walker said, holding up both of his hands for a high five.
“i literally don’t know how i did that” y/n held her hands up to high five him.
“that was actually insane” walker said, shaking his head in disbelief.
“beginners luck” y/n shruged.
y/n laughed, the nerves she once had, melted away.
a few hours later, y/n was finally home. she yawned, flopping onto her bed, letting out a breath she didn’t even know she was holding.
but she didn’t regret going like she thought she would. it was nice to see dior again, and everyone one was so nice and welcoming. it wasn’t awkward, she hadn’t felt out of place.
her eyes landed on the laptop sitting on her nightstand.
she reached over, pulling it onto her bed, flipping it open.
“what was his last name again?” y/n thought to herself
she typed — walker from pjo
and yeah, maybe googling someone you literally just met was kind of weird.
but everyone at that party had an online presence anyway. she just wanted to remember everyone’s names.
and maybe she wanted to see him again.
Search results filled the screen almost
the serch results loaded almost immediately.
pictures, interviews, getty images, edits.
a disney+ link for percy jackson and the olympians
“ohh, thats the show” she muttered.
the girl remembered saying she watch it. might as well keep up that promise. she clicked play on the computer, her body relaxing, as she snuggled in her blankets.
she watched a couple episodes, after while she lost count, her eyes closing, dozing off.
a soft knock against her bedroom door before it slowly opened.
“y/n, you—“ her mother stopped mid sentence, seeing y/n knocked out.
the laptop glowed onto her sleeping face.
the woman shoke her head with a smile. she closed the computer, carefully moving off her bed to her desk.
“good night, baby” she kissed her forehead.
