SILAS‌:

silas slightly raised a brow at angie re-approaching him, though he wasn’t completely surprised. it was a beautiful memory- the kind of beautiful that no matter how hard you tried to resist it, you couldn’t help but succumb to it clouding your mind with nostalgia. 

“christmas in new york. i planned for a whole day at central park but we got snowed in,” he continued, letting out a foggy breath in amusement. “three hours in, you had already found the winter cake i made and the shoes in my closet. one second you were angry because you thought they were another girl’s, and then the other, you were crying because you kept telling me how beautiful they were.” a ghost of a grin settled on silas’s lips as he turned his head to look at angie. “you were so excited to try them on but they ended up snapping because it was a defect. i trekked through that damn snow for a good hour and a half each way to find a replacement because i wanted to see your excitement one more time.” 

silas’s eyes lingered on the other’s for a second before he resumed speaking, his tone soft in respect to their reminiscence. “during that walk, i thought it was the worst day ever. now that i’m thinking about it again, i think that was the best memory we could’ve made that christmas night.”

angie didn’t even bother trying to hide the surprise on her face when he looked back, taking a deep breath at the face that was before her and did her best to hold his gaze as she evened out her breath too. her hands shook as the memories came flashing back. of course, how can she ever forget that day? it could’ve been the worst day for someone else but to angie, it meant the world and is probably one of the happiest day of her life. not the typical kind of christmas someone would want but there was just something special about that day that made her fall for the him even more. and for that, angie took a deep breath and looked back at the café. maybe it was time to actually talk. her mind kept lashing out, screaming and pleading for her not to go but the heart wants what it wants. “stay here for a bit.” and off she went.

unsure of how long she had gone but the moment angie returned, she was off of her uniform and even brought her things with her. “lets...” she paused, looking at him. she just hoped that she was not making the wrong decision again. “...talk somewhere else. i don’t think that this is the right place for us to be talking.” it was pathetic—no, she was pathetic for actually ditching a job and thinking of his reputation after what he did. “my place or... yours? my place is not far from here but wherever you think you’re comfortable with, i guess. if you prefer to stay with yours... then just lead the way.” she said while hiding her cold fingers on to her coat’s pockets. and as always, they both would go with what he wanted. angie thought that she’d let things go his way for now but once they were both in a more secluded place, things would be different.

[firehcartt]

angie wasn’t really the type of person to celebrate christmas but hyeona, hyeona was someone she couldn’t just ignore. hyeona was probably she was the closest with and she actually cared for. deeply. hyeona was the reason why she was ableshe was never a fan of hyeona’s little acts sometimes but that it never meant she’s abandon them. she could never which is why she was stuck at the mall, unsure of where to go and what to buy for the other, leaving her no choice and called her friend to come at the mall for they had some ‘shopping’ to do. as she waited, angie treated herself with some ice cream, chocolate mint to be exact. shoes, clothes, food. god, all of these choices got her shaking her head. god, she couldn’t be more thankful for having few friends. struggling to decide among many options for one person already a lot for her. she felt rather bad though, she was not going to lie. they had been friends for who knows how long and yet here she was, sitting on the food court with a cone of ice cream in her hand. her face lit up the moment she saw a familiar figure though, hands immediately raising up to reveal her whereabouts. “over here!” she added. // @driftsaway​

SILAS‌:

“cold,” silas replied, shaking his head in disbelief. his lips perked up in passive aggressive contempt, and he stared down at the ground, unable to look angie in the eyes. all those years, all those memories… had they always been so fragile? 

“size six,” silas spoke up without thinking, his eyes lingering on angie’s shoes. memories flooded back of a christmas when they had still been in love, and he had saved up four and a half paychecks for a pair of red heels (the other half had been used for their dinner, of course). “you stared at them for a second more than the other ones,” he had laughed, holding angie in his arms as his chin rested on her head. “i read it’s a common sign girls use when they see something they want.” things had been so much simpler back then, so much happier. but that was always easier to say when one looked back at the past.

silas shook his head again, turning away from angie as if to dismiss his thoughts. “you can go back in,” he replied, leaning back on the side of the store. “i just need some air.”

this was what she wanted yet she couldn’t understand the wave of disappointment and hurt that was slowly taking over her. god, she was a mess early in the morning. at least, to breathe was easier this time and she noticed the way his eyes dropped on the floor and only causing for her heart to break even more. she wanted to reach out to him, she did. no matter how stupid that sounded but she knew what was best for her... and possibly for him. TORN. that was what she was. 

surprise painted her face as soon as she heard him speak and angie couldn’t help and wonder about his words and this time she spoke up, completely ignoring his following words of dismissal. “what about size six?” she asked in a hushed tone. despite knowing what it meant, or so she assumed. “tell me.” and this time, it was her turn to take a step closer to him. a bold move especially when she was on the point of breaking down any time soon. no, she didn’t ask them to look at her for she knew the cost and so she let him be. weak, she called herself. completely bending down just because he said something

ANNIE‌:

her skimming through the latest cosmopolitan issue does not stop despite of the other’s presence in front of her.   although the deja brew wasn’t as crowded and as busy as any other day ever since the beginning of the brew’s chrismast themed event,    annie understood that her current seat near the window was tempting enough for customers to take advantage of the empty seat across of the brunette.   it was only at the sound of angie’s voice that had her looking up from the magazine to look up at the other,   the sight of one of her former roommates taking her back to those frustrating weeks where annie’s attempts to do something as mundane as talking to angie were in vain.   rosy lips stretch into a smile as she is bombarded with questions,   slowly lowering the magazine to take an actual look at her.   “   roomie.   ”   the brunette said,   timbre breathy and soft as she considers putting her magazine down to engage herself into a conversation with the other.   “  nothing,   really.   just working and trying to survive in the city.   ”   she chuckled.   “   what about you?   found a better roommate than me?   ”

now that angie thought about it, why had she never given annie a chance in the first place? she knew they were nice, efforts and times were made for angie just for an opportunity for them to be those typical ideal roommates... so why? they could’ve been close and talked a lot of things? too late to think about those now and she didn’t want to waste more of her energy in thinking about it too. but there was one question that she always found intriguing though. what was the reason why annie moved out? and so as she leaned back to her chair, angie looked at annie with a smile whilst tilting her head on the side. “hm... guess that makes the both of us. as you said, just like you, i’m just trying to survive in this hell of a place.” she scoffed. “a better roommate, huh? i wouldn’t say that. i mean, i had a few here and there but all did the same as you did. they moved out with a blink of an eye. too fast, way too fast for me to notice.” angie knew she stepped on a boundary she never should have and placed both of them in a position where one could probably say a thing or two to make them tight-lipped but she had to know especially when she went through shit, working twice as much as she did just to pay her rent. “but i don’t have anyone right now. maybe, you could come back? and no worries, you can leave any time you want again...if my services failed your expectations.” harsh, way too harsh. “so tell me... why leave? you never got to tell me anyways. don’t you think i deserved to know?”

[firehcartt]

SILAS‌:

[.....]

angie was certain, or probably forced herself to believe that he was not coming at all. she should’ve have known better. can anyone really blame her though for thinking he was never coming back at all? he left her just like that. it was foolish of her to start anything with him to begin with because look at what it had done to her now. silas was out there living the life he wanted, he achieved everything he wanted in life and here she was... working her ass off in order to survive, in order to pay all of her bills just because of how wrecked her life is. 

again, she should’ve known that silas would have followed. he had always been like that. for things to go his way and getting things he wanted. she tried and tried and tried to pull herself away from his touch but boy, wasn’t he too strong. so, when they reached outside and started talking, angie couldn’t help and flinch a little. she waited and hoped that she’d at least get something she wanted to hear this time, an apology. to her dismay, it was about him again. was he really that naive? he was really that blind that he couldn’t see that━stupid, she was stupid to think and hope that he could’ve at least changed a little. 

no words came out of her mouth and she could only stare at him. she wanted to scream at him, to tell him of how hurt she was when he left. heck, she shouldn’t be even feeling anything at all right now. she’d made herself numb. oh how she hated this. she loathed how she was still affected by him, how weak he made her feel, how selfish he made her feel. good thing though, she was good, so good at playing pretend at her job that she was able to let out a soft smile that didn’t reach her eyes at all. 

“i’m not sure of what you are talking about, you must have mistaken me with someone else.” a low blow and she knew it but it was the only thing she could do right now to keep herself standing, to keep herself strong and not bursting out. “i’m glad that you’re here to help the cafe and it really means a lot to each and everyone of us, employees but if there’s anything you’d like, my shift will be starting soon. i’d personally help you with anything you want.” angie wasn’t sure how she managed to keep herself calm but she did... this time. if he went on with this again. she wasn’t sure if she’d still be able to handle it further. “is there anything else, you’d like to ask, anything at all before i leave? if not, then i’ll see you in the counter.”

TEDDY‌:

now that his finals were over, teddy was free to make all the plans with friends and acquaintances all he wanted, his schedules open for the next three weeks before the spring semester kicks in. today on his list, he has someone he’s been meaning to hang out with, someone he was so excited to find that had gone through the same things he had when he was younger. it was like being in group therapy again, except teddy didn’t have the pressure of his father constantly wanting to fix him and pretend that everything was okay. he had long come to terms with his disability and tried not to hold it over people’s heads when living his life, but it was still nice to be around someone from the community. to be around someone who understood where he was coming from. 

as teddy entered the brew it was like a switch had turned when he reminded himself who he was here to see. he ordered something from the counter and headed over to where iris sat, waving a hand in her direction as he did.  ‘ hiii, ’ he says, bringing his hand up to his head to sign the greeting as well. he’s aware his asl is still a little rusty from years of disuse, so he continues to talk as he signs so she can discern all of what he’s saying.  ‘ were you waiting long ? ’ 

the smile she wore earlier lingered but grew slightly at the sight of the man she was waiting for and immediately shook her head in response. she brought her hand up to sign. [    not really. it’s just that i like coming earlier than i should. a habit of mine, i guess?    ] giving him a huge smile to reassure him. iris wasn’t sure if asking for his help to buy out a gift that was meant for her brother and of course, secretly for him. hopefully, he wouldn’t get a hint of it. how she’d know about what he wants? she’ll figure it out later. 

[    thank you so much for coming here today by the way. you know how everything is on sale today since christmas is just right around the corner and i’m pretty much bought gifts for everyone except for one person. the reason why i called you and asked you if you would like to hang out is because i kind of want to buy something for my brother but i’m not really sure how. i highly doubt that you two have met but at least you could help me with it? i’m probably the worst at picking out things for people. so, please can you help me out?    ] half truth and a half lie. it was true that she had not bought anything for her brother yet but she was not done buying everyone a gift yet.

JAEHYUN‌:

Admittedly, Jaehyun knew Angie wouldn’t just let it go and move on, the whole reason he had done it was to annoy her. And well, from her reaction and the look his coworker had sent him, the blue haired male knew he had managed to get to her. Rolling his eyes dramatically as she got her candy back and gave him the orane ones, he sighed in annoyance. “Whatever, pretty sure I can still win regardless of what color of candy I pick.” The barista countered, going back to building his house. Jae was quiet for a while after that, completely focused on his work. He had to cut and adjust the pieces a few times to get better angles but the house was coming together nicely.

As he started decorating, Jae would take quick peeks at Angie to see how she was doing, analyzing her work from afar. He was gluing red gumdrops on his roof when the barista realized his royal icing bag was about to be empty. Sighing, Jae looked around the table in search of na available one but came up empty handed. That was when he noticed that Angie wasn’t using hers at the moment and as he had no other option, the blue haired male walked over to her spot. “Can I borrow your icing bag for a moment?” He asked, in a soft tone. “I’ll get it back to you soon, just need it to finish my decorations.”

angie gave no attention to anyone anymore the moment she got what she needed. and jaehyung being competitive━just like always━only drove her into wanting to win. if the prize was not enough to get her serious enough to win, jaehyun’s earlier action sure did. no, she didn’t hate nor felt any anger towards jaehyun at all. in fact, she enjoyed his company or his presence. she loved the fact that they would just freely bicker and tease each other around most of the times and gave that easy and chill kind of atmosphere. oh and how could she ever forget the fact that regardless of the number of times she annoys him, he never got annoyed at all. instead, he’d retort something back that even she found difficult to reply too and always caught her off guard. 

which was why, she was more competitive and actually took time to sit down and analyze her gingerbread house, contemplating on what color would compliment the color red. in the middle of her own crisis, her eyes averted from her soon to be called ‘masterpiece’ to her friend. she debated on whether she should tease him or not, she thought he looked cute this way and only made things more fun. “oh... is the jaehyun-the-great asking me for some help now?” a pout. “too bad, i can’t... i mean, we aren’t in a situation wherein we should help each other.” she teased and gave him a victorious smile. “although, i might change my mind... tell me jaehyun, what’s in it for me? would i get something in return? you know me, i don’t give anything for free. everything has a price.”

TOBI:

It had been quiet today, which Tobi had been thankful for since he knew that the week leading up to Christmas day would be awful, everyone wanting a hair cut so they look good for the big day. Right now, everyone was out shopping, pushing each other to get to the next big sale, thinking that where they have to be is more important than where everyone else has to be. The thought made him sick to his stomach. He bought the few things he needed online in all the way back in October when everyone was still thinking about Halloween, and that was the end of it, even splashing out to have it gift wrapped so that was taken care of too. 

As he was giving the barber shop floor a much needed sweep, he barely turned around to listen to the jingling of the bell at the door before there was a pat to his back, and his friend already making herself comfortable. “Oh, it’s you,” he spoke deadpanned, leaning on his broom handle for a moment with a straight face before eventually smiling at Angie. “Interestingly annoying? That’s a new one,” he continued before sweeping the small pile of hair into the corner for him to collect later. “You really have nothing better to do today? I would’a thought you’d be out with all the other Christmas idiots.”

angie was about to lift her leg up and rest her feet on the table when he mentioned about the holiday she practically didn’t care about at all. unbelievable. was he joking right now? angie? her, and christmas? she had to laugh. “woah, woah, woah. hold it right there tobi barber or whatever. me? out of all people? me? you really thought...” she shook her head and placed a hand on her chest as she pulled off a sarcastic, pained look on her face and was willing to piss him off with her overdramatic act. “... i thought we were closer than that? if you were aiming at hurting me. damn, you did a great job.” sarcasm heard in every word that came out of her mouth. 

“naaaaah. seriously, tobi, it’s like you don’t even know me. i don’t care about the holiday. i don’t even know why people celebrate it when we could all just give out stuff any time and during our birthdays. i don’t know. i ain’t spending a dime.” she shook her head, scoffing. “what about you though? i mean, sure i don’t celebrate this stuff but, what are you doing here rather than be out there buying me my gift, huh?” a smirk playing along her lips as she waddled her brows up and down. she may have sound she was kidding but a part of her hoped that he did, at least get her something. free stuff has always been the best things anyway. “or you haven’t thought of anything yet? i mean... that’s easy. i could tell you what i want now.” call her shameless but she didn’t care one bit, she was going to get free stuff if she can. then she stood up walking around back and forth as finger tapped on her chin, pretending to be thinking. hard. “a video game?”

choisilas‌:

[ ..... ]

he had gotten to the cafe five minutes before her shift. her schedule had been one of the favors the owner had promised him in exchange for the publicity he would provide the cafe. silas had told his foster sister that he had chosen deja brew for the location, the pastries, and the climate- but he knew it had been angie. maybe deep in his conscious, there was a tinge of guilt for what he had done. of course, he would never put this feeling into words, but for some reason, he still found himself leaning on the counter while waiting for his first love to arrive.

in that moment, a small figure breezed by him- so quickly that he had almost missed it. though he wasn’t confident it was her from behind, a wave of her scent filled his nostrils. he had never been able to describe her scent with words, even at her request. but he knew that scent well by heart, and for the first time that day, silas felt nervous. “angie,” he spoke before his mind could process what was happening. silas tightened the grip on the bouquet, and looked up with a slight smile. “long time no see.” 

it had been difficult for her during the first few years when silas left, it even got to a point where she completely lost herself during the process. she didn’t know who she was, what her purpose nor goal was anymore. maybe she had relied too much on him on his... promises about the future and so when the time came that he had to leave and go after his dreams. she did her best to understand the male though and so she went on with being friends with him. she wasn’t sure why or how she expected him to talk to her every single day? each day that passed, the lesser messages she got. so, when the time came that he just stopped and she never got anything in return? her whole world crumbled down and ever since, everything that involved silas, angie erased; the pictures, messages, gifts she got from him... literally everything was burnt out of her life. everything had no use or of relevance to her anyways. he left and cut off their connection and so why wouldn’t she do the same? that was the day she considered him as... the forgotten.

that was what he was to her. angie had harbored the pain and dealt it on her own. b a d l y. not going to lie though, there were still times she’d still stare at the ceiling and think of the ‘what ifs’. what would happen if things did work out? what would’ve happen if she came with him? what would’ve happen if━all these what ifs so it did her nothing but brought pain to her. so for years, she did her best and taught herself not to think about him and distract herself from him. that was when deja brew came in, ever since she started the job, she just got busy and worked her ass of for money to pay her bills.

so, when rumors about silas coming back to los angeles surfaced around, angie was quick to dismiss it and a mocking scoff came out of her lips. these people were crazy to think that he’d come back. what would he do here anyways? he probably has his own job or whatever. so, why come back now? what was the point of it in the first place? so everyday she’d shake her head at anyone who would mention his name or maybe just roll her eyes during the process. it was ridiculous.

“a different day, same old shit” she muttered below her breath. it was early in the morning yet she felt so restless, and the preparation and the huge number of customers that was slowly piling up before her shift did not help at all. a groan slip when she hear someone called out her name. wait━not just someone. oh god, no. she knew that voice very well and how... how can she ever forget? somehow and for some reason, his voice made her still as ice. someone just please someone take her away from there. she didn’t want to look at him because she couldn’t trust herself nor her already reeling heart but here she was, slowly turning around to see the man everybody has been talking about. “so... it was true.” she whispered to herself.

angie was not sure of what to do nor what to say to him, all she knew was she wanted the earth to swallow her up whole. she did not want to see him at all. how she managed to pull up a straight face was a mystery to her. her calm features completely contradicts to the chaos that was she was feeling inside and pulled up that professional smile she had been practicing on for months to keep her job. “good morning! is there anything i could do for you, sir?” emphasizing on the word, to send a message that she was only talking to him as a customer and nothing else. “drinks, pastries or the breakfast menu is upfront and the cashier will surely fill you in with our specials. thank you!” she said before quickly walking away.

svnhcc‌:

      the pot on the stove started to whistle, catching sunny’s attention and pulling her away from the blank music sheets she started to place on top of the piano. some of the had notes scribbled on there from over the past few days, her mind working hard to create new pieces to teach her students and present to her company for her to play from time to time. she had remastered some classics, always loving the spins she could add to them - but not as much as loving the originals she grew up playing in recitals. out of all the instruments she did play,  the piano would always be the first and the only one to ever have such a special hold on, and place in, her heart. at the stove, she turned the burner down t only a simmer, awaiting the knock that eventually flowed through her kitchen the moment it was placed on the door. it could only be one person, seeing as she was only expecting one person. iris. quickly, her small frame shuffled over to the door, pulling it over to reveal the bright smile that effortlessly fit across her features. “are you ready?” she asked excitedly, allowing space for iris to slip pas before she closed the door. “i made us some tea first, to warm ourselves up before jumping right in. i have black tea, mint tea, peach tea, oolong aaaand,” he paused, opening her kitchen cabinet to reveal the one she’d been missing. “a rose tea!”

iris was not sure if sunny have forgotten about her inability to hear but she assumed it was probably because she was excited and didn’t blame her for it. iris, too, was way to excited and could’ve done the same thing and so, she did her best to read the other’s lips, narrowing her eyes a bit as she made the most of it, or she at least tried to. are two re-tea? well that didn’t much make sense? and assuming from what sunny was holding in their hand, iris quickly assumed that maybe sunny was asking if she wanted tea and quickly nodded her head in response. which one did she like though? considering all the readings and all those time spending in her laptop, her sight must’ve gone a little bad because she narrowed her eyes more to get a better look, a few steps closer were taken too. “mint tea.” she replied with a wide smile on her lips. something she rarely do. it only showed how much she trusted sunny too. “thank you!” she sat quietly and leaned her body over the counter to scan her own music sheet, something she always brought with her when she came for her lessons. she had a habit to review everything she wrote down, check if the notes were properly placed, if the lyrics fit... everything. it was something sunny would check anyways. and besides, it was one way of reviewing of what she could ask later on because she knew... that there were still a lot of things for her to learn and uncertain keys she had to fix like which key would sound better or not, if it showed on her face whether she was having troubled or not, she wasn’t sure but hopefully, her uncertainties would be cleared today. “sunny, by the way, there are several things i would like to ask for you too. i’ve written a new song of mine and... there are things that i find... or probably like feel like is missing? or probably something better to put? or it’s just probably me being an over thinker but of course, you can answer all of this after having our tea.” she smiled and lifted up her eyes from her sheet to her friend.

hcnjce‌:

      settling himself on the bench, he had his phone in his hand and prepared himself to spend some time there - watching videos on instagram and checking out snapchats. he had went through only a few before the girl made an appearance, the way she presented herself causing him to jump at the sound of her voice. his hand settled across his chest an over his heart, body turning towards the noise before he let out a chuckle. “you’re the absolute worst.” he stated softly, eyes closing as he gathered himself once again. “why would you do such a thing, why do you hate me so much?” he continued to tease as she sat next to him, his arm wrapping around the girl and pulling her into a hug, leaving a soft peck on her forehead as he usually did upon greeting her. “hi, you. why didn’t you stay in class?” 

      his eyes rolled at her excuse, “it’s fifteen minutes. i would’ve managed. but, since you’re here, i guess there’s nothing i can do about it. next time, i’m not even gonna tell you i’m here. i’m just gonna wait until i catch you leaving.” and he probably would. maybe. jae was usually a patient person, but with the news he had to share with her right now? he wasn’t sure how patient he could be. “you’re happy you ditched, aren’t you?” looknig at her, jae could sense the pride she radiated, his body turning in her direction. “you’re proud of yourself for ditching the last fifteen minutes if your class, aren’t you? you’re wild, naomi. i don’t know, you might end up in jail soon.” he teased, playful words followed with a chuckle. 

      “right, uh. yeah. the brew works.” he told her, removing himself from his seat and waiting for the girl to do the same before he lead them in the direction of the cafe. “let me know if you get too cold, okay? you can use my sweater.” he reassured her. “oh, but. i have some pretty exciting news. and i hope you get as excited as i am. well, if you agree to go-” he looked down to the smaller girl, a small plastered onto his face. “i’ll explain more when we get to the brew, i don’t wanna give it all away right now. but, i will say that i hop you agree to go because i don’t wanna explore without you.”

a hug and a peck on the forehead, it was a gesture that she had grown used to and honestly, somehow with it, she felt safe and secured. jae had always been the type to be there for her anyways. always. so how can she not? and for that, a huge smile formed on her lips. his following words however was a different story and brought out a different response from her. naomi couldn’t help and pout at his words and only gave him a soft nudge on the shoulder. “hey! you know how my mom would react if she found out i ditched class even five minutes of it. i’d be dead so i’m pretty much proud, don’t be too hard on me. just because you get to do it, doesn’t mean i can.” she explained before sticking out her tongue at him. how mature of her.

naomi stood up and clung on to his arm whilst walking beside him. “no, i’m good and besides, you need that too. the last thing i want is for you to feel cold. don’t worry about me.” it was the truth. either she felt cold or not, naomi was not going to tell him about it. that was the thing about jae, he was too nice around her. she appreciated it a lot but it never meant she’d take advantage of it. “wait━what?” she must have said too loud considering the couple of eyes that was now on to her. she cleared her throat and smiled at them before turning to look at him. “what do you mean by ‘explore’? jae, you’re going somewhere? how come you just told me now? because... i would love to but... do you think my mom would allow me?”

honestly, naomi wasn’t sure of what to say next. she had never been away from los angeles. this has always been her place besides japan, of course. fear and excitement washed through out her body and if she were to be honest, she wanted to come with him but was she actually ready to leave without her parents around. god, she couldn’t believe herself. she was what? she was an adult yet such thoughts crossed her mind and so, she looked at him with that bright smile of hers and gave him a firm nod. “of course, i’m coming with you but we both have to talk to my mother, you know how strict she can be but... considering it’s you. there’s a high chance.” she assured herself. “tell me, where are we going and for how long? it’s my semestral break anyways, so why not?”

      brooke  raises  a  brow  at  the  girl.  thank  god  for  these  sunglasses  she  was  wearing.  she  rolls  her  eyes  at  her  attempt  to  insult  her  outfit.  her  –––  as  brooke  liked  to  call  it  –––  law  student  wardrobe.  a  mix  between  blair  waldorf  and  fallon  carrington.  clearly  this  girl  didn’t  know  her.  and  brooke  was  CERTAIN  that  they’ve  never  met  before  either.

      “  mmhm  ,  sure  ,  ”  she  quips  sarcastically  and  takes  another  sip  of  her  beverage.  she  presses  on  with  her  resting  bitch  face.  to  be  honest  ,  brooke  really  wasn’t  going  to  bother  giving  this  stranger  her  time  of  day.  “  it’s  really  none  of  your  business  where  i’m  heading  to  next  ,  ”  the  law  student  shrugs  nonchalantly.

      brooke  sidesteps  around  the  other  woman  to  continue  making  her  way  down  the  street.  if  angie  was  trying  to  get  a  rise  out  of  her  ,  it  wasn’t  working.  she  just  spent  a  good  part  of  her  morning  dealing  with  people  who  ARGUE  for  a  living.  this  really  wasn’t  much  of  a  challenge.

angie fought the urge to bark out a laugh. well, wasn’t she a feisty one? regardless, this whole thing made it more fun for her which is why she was not to leave the other’s side. if it meant for her to follow the stranger, she would. she had nothing to do left for today anyways. “woah! chill. come on, at least try to remember? i don’t think you even actually looked at me.” emphasizing on the word. 

quickly, she stood in front of the female, putting a hand up, gesturing for them to halt whilst taking another sip of her drink. “it is now. i mean, i do remember you and i just want to hang out? no harm in that and besides, i’m pretty cool to hang out with.” she shrugged. “what’s wrong with being friends?” she smirked and gave their sides a nudge. “so yeah, i know a place where we could get good coffee. deja brew.” completely ignoring the fact that she was being dismissed earlier. “we’re actually pretty near or are you headed there next? because if you are, i am too. what a coincidence?”
