“right, so, i’m all tangled up with this guy - you know what? come to think of it he may have been my sister’s new assistant or something, but that’s irrelevant,” keziah paused, taking a sip of her lemonade (with a little extra kick, of course). “and by tangled up, i mean fully naked on the kitchen counter,” she regaled, the bright red lollipop in her hand a blur of colour as she gestured animatedly. “and my grandmother of all people walks in. and just when i think i’m actually going to have to throw myself out of the window, she looks this guy up and down, and - i swear to god - says ‘oh, pumpkin, you could do so much better than that.’ i mean, could i have a cooler grandma? the woman is an icon. a living legend.”

“ ok, first of all, ew, don’t need to hear about your slutty escapades in our family home, kez. ” el made a face, though she was beyond used to hearing such stories from her younger sister. “ second of all, if it was char’s new assistant MAD props, boy is hot as hell. and third of all, grandma is literally life goals. like, i want to be her now, let alone when i’m old. she’s, like, the betty white of the carsons. ”

          ❛     CONVERSELY,     ❜     there’s  always  a  counter  with  her,  always  sage  logic  that  lingers,  dormant  and  desperate,  upon  silvered  tongue,     ❛     girls,  and  indeed  boys  and  other  identities,   might  see  it  and  take  unhealthy  measures  to  look  like  the  image  of  health  you’re  projecting.  it’s  a  two - way  street,  babe.     ❜     (     if  it  was  anyone  else,  brow  would  raise  in  malignant  maneuver     —     your  turn,  sweets     —     but  it’s  el,  and  all  she  can  procure  is  discordant  chuckle.     )     ❛     it’s  your  world  though,  honeybee.  you  do  what  you  want.     ❜

“ look - you know i love you. i’m not looking to debate the toxicity of social media. but i do think it all depends on how you do it. like, look at this account here. ” she held out the phone for kayla to take, post already loaded. “ sure, the video is her working out. but the caption is about the importance of self-care, mental wellbeing, and fitness as a tool for health. not about looking a certain way. public figures - on instagram or elsewhere - can be powerful figures. but i’m sure i don’t have to tell you that. ”

         “eh, fitness pages are a plague to instagram. i hate seeing them on my explore page. i don’t really care about other people’s workout routines, but i mean, sure i guess if that’s what you’re into. why don’t you do asmr on youtube instead?”

“ hey, people make a lot of money if they’re successful. and, more importantly, their followers idolize them. it’s, like, a role model thing, i guess. ” she sighed, closing the fitness account she’d been scrolling through. “ what’s that? ”

kiara frowned at her peer’s observation as her lips parted to take a sip of the warm herb tea.  ❝ easy ?! ❞  she asked carefully while placing the mug back on the coffee table.  ❞  people dedicate their entire lives to teaching others a healthy way of living. it takes more dedication and effort than you think.  ❞

“ i mean, easy if you fake it. all it is is, like, workouts and food pics and gym pics. you don’t actually have to do all the things you say you do. ” she shrugged. the thought hadn’t occurred to her to actually play out the online persona. “ people also dedicate their entire lives to yoga and...travel. doesn’t make them hard things to do. ”

“excuse me, honey, i wouldn’t exactly call it HARRASMENT. he was bored of his job, and got to distract himself with someone as handsome as me. really, he’s the true winner here,” shiloh smirked, drowning his drink in one swift gulp. “not that i have a problem with paying either. it’s just so much more fun when you get to control someone, you know.”

“ well i would. call it harassment, that is. ” she grinned, half distracted as a man across the bar caught her interest. “mhm, sure.” she murmured, not hearing the rest of his monologue as she made eye contact with the man and smiled coyly. “ i cant get a drink in 5...10 minutes, tops. and i won’t have to stick my tongue down his throat. ”

his innocent attempt, however, was cut short by a sudden interruption from a friend, making him roll his eyes. “i’ve no idea what you’re talking about. my METHOD seemed to be working pretty well fifteen minutes earlier when i got this free drink from the bartender by getting him to make out with me. would you like a drink, too? i’m sure he’ll make me one more if i slip in tongue this time,” he replied, the corner of his mouth quirking up in a grin.

el rolled her eyes, a smile still flirting with the corners of her mouth as she followed his gaze over to the bartender. “ harassment of a bar employee who is l i t e r a l l y being paid to be nice to you hardly counts as success, darling. ” her eyes scanned the dim room, scanning the pretty faces on display. “ no, thank you, but i’m quite alright paying for me own drink. feminism and all that. ”

            ❛     WITH  ALL  DUE  RESPECT,  EL     — —     ❜     and  nothing  good  can  come  from  pursed  roseates  and  creased  brow     — —     ❛     i  think  you  could  use  your   SOCIAL   MEDIA   PRESENCE   to  do  something  a  lot  more  beneficial  than  a  fitness  page.     ❜

“ oh, kayla, you underestimate the power of a good fitness page. ” she looks up. “ girls that follow fitness pages tend to be low on self confidence, looking for a way to better themselves. it can be a great platform for promoting self-love, acceptance, and healthy body image. ”

‘ a FITNESS  page ? ’ grayson started, gaze shifting from the paperwork scattered over his table and towards eleanor. ‘ i mean - it won’t be easy, but i think it would be fun if you were interested in what you were doing ? ’

“ are you hard of hearing or just dumb? ” she turned to him with a scathing glare, words short and sharp. “ thank you for that very helpful insight. ”

“ again, didn’t blame you, ” she muttered under her breath, scrolling through her instagram feed. her smile returned, though much more subtle this time. “ told you. maybe stick to beach pictures and mirror poses, yeah ? ”

“ it just looks so fun. and you get to wear cute workout clothes and brag about how strong you are. ” she sighed, closing her instagram app and opening her twitter. “ am i the only one who checks my twitter mentions from time to time? it’s like a guilty pleasure. ”
