me thinking about myself: She’s cute I support Her

“Yeah….me…merry fucking….Chrysler…” Clark slurred out as he raised his shot glass to the other closest to him. From the looks of him, he had seem better days. His smooth face now painted with his own blood as his lip was split open and a scratch shown about his left cheek. His eye was settling as the colors of black and blue hinted around his eye socket. As he downed the shot he felt the sting settle in his lip making him cringe. “Fuck!” he hissed before tossing the glass onto the counter angrily.

“My Gawd, well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle,” Gracie said, barely catching the glass he threw. “Lawd, y’re drunk out y’r d’rn mind, ain’t y’?” She shook her head, grabbing his chin and turning his face towards her. “Let me have a look at’ch’ya,” she said, tsking as she studied the cuts and bruises. “Get into a fight, there?”

“You might be able to find a few quarters on the streets,” their voice was quiet, lazy eyes watching as a new cat appeared in their game. Basil honestly thought this was good advice. 

“I ain’t stoopin’ so low as to search th’ d’rn ground for quarters! Lawd, can y’imagine? Me, bent down there, searchin’ f’r d’rn coins just ‘cause I on’t have enough for a coke? Lawd. May God ne’er curse me with that desp’ration.” She shook her head, hands on hips.

“it would be great if you could help me out here. i don’t feel like being licked to death…at least not this way.” davis whispered the last part, hoping that someone could take the dog off of him so he could get back to what he was doing.

“Now that was just flat-out dirty,” she said, tsking softly as she bent down to pick up the puppy. “Hey there, li’l dollbaby,” she said to the dog, nuzzling its nose. “Is it y’r dog or--?”

“Then get a coke,” they replied simply, eyes never leaving their phone. Basil was incredibly preoccupied with Neko Atsume ( the kittens needed them! ).

Gracie shrugged. “See now, that there’s the probl’m. I ain’t got a lick o’ money in order to get a coke.” She pouted, crossing her arms. “I maybe have a dollar ‘r two, but coke’s’re pr’tty expensive ‘round ‘ere.”

rafrubio:

Rafael was QUITE easily amused; his mind often simplistic when he isn’t treading the court or a ball isn’t in his hand ( VOLLEYBALLS PARTICULARLY   he’s awful at every other sport ). So hearing her accent drenching each and every word, well, he was entertained ( yet again, NOT A HARD FEAT ). And she kept going and going   Rafael ALMOST didn’t want to interrupt, but the setter was quite fond of the idea of his presence being known. “Ah ! ! I haven’t had one in a while either,” he tapped the hollows of his cheek, trying to recall the last time he had a carbonated drink of any sorts. Rafael tried to eat well: He needed to be in TOP shape for volleyball ( even if this meant his sister and mother bombarding him by calling him too ‘flaco’ ). “Ah, now you’ve put me in a mood ! ! ” He laughed and flashed his signature RAFAEL smile, the kind that didn’t quite reach his eyes. 

Gracie looked at the young man who answered, her blue eyes sizing him up. He looked--Mexican? Cute, sure; she’d go as far as to say handsome, but still. “Sorry, darlin’,” she said, smiling sweetly, “Now where’re you from? I’m from down ‘ere in Georgia, but, well, quite frankly, you look like you just ‘bout pulled up in a ship some’ere, so where’s y’r fam’ly?” She smiled. “Y’ever been on down to Tex’s? So warm down there, and the Mexic’n food--Gawd.” She looked up at him, curiosity and naivety lacing her features, threading her eyes a particular color of oblivious, an almost wet-paint color; it seemed, in that moment, that the red, white, and blue button on her backpack gleamed brighter in the fluorescent light. Sure, Gracie didn’t know any better, and in the moment, it seemed polite to ask about his heritage. He just looked so interesting, and she’d love to know more about his culture.

“Lawd,” Gracie starts, bundled in a big coat, earmuffs, and gloves, “I hate this here cold weather. Li’l ridiculous, ain’t it? I ‘on’t got an unfrozen bone in my body, I tell y’all.” She shivers, pouting, before continuing her speech. “And I’m squeezin’ my quarters so tight I ‘an hear them eagles screamin’--ain’t got a pot to piss in, I tell you what.” Sometimes, Gracie likes to hear the sound of her own voice, if she’s honest (and she is always honest). This habit combined with an almost crippling homesickness leaves her talking to herself--well, to be fair, there are a few people around, so she supposes she isn’t talking to herself--and, well, she’s in the mood for talking, so off she goes. “And Lawd,” she repeats, “I been rode hard and put away wet, that’s for d’rn sure. Listen, y’all, I ain’t seen a twenty in what might be ages,” she’s a sucker for a good hyperbole, “And y’all, I been drinkin’ the tap--could really go f’r a coke right about now.”

“ I know that it stinks being stuck on campus for the  next four days and maybe during the holidays due to the snow storm but i know a way we can still have fun if you want me to tell you how “ Mia said as she try to cheer the other college student up

“It’s just frustratin’ ‘cause I know my momma was lookin’ f’rward to havin’ me see her renovated kitch’n. And m’daddy, well, he’s disappointed, too. Just frustratin,’ is all.” Gracie sighed and rolled her eyes--this was the first year she couldn’t be home for Christmas, and it was weird not seeing her family for the holidays. It made her annoyed and angry; why couldn’t they just plow the snow? She hated freezing New York and all it had to offer, and at this point, she’d prefer just to graduate in January and be done with the whole situation.
