Hallie.

Who am I? I'm nobody. Who are you? Are you nobody too? Hallie Lara//Twenty//College Student

"Every book is something special" she said smiling. "It’s like they all have souls and their own characters are a world you vcan live in for a little while." After all the partying the night before, Roxie felt nice to just nerd out for a little.

[hallielara]

A small smile tugged at the corners of Hallie's lips as she heard Roxie speaking. When she wasn't studying or out with other people, she enjoyed reading; she enjoyed the way books made her feel and how free she felt when her mind wandered away from the hell she called life. "Something like that, yeah. You read a lot?"

[jamiexanderson-blog]

"You’re not bothering them. How about I help you out? I’m not as smart but I make good grades."

[hallielara]

"That'd be much better, actually. If you don't mind, of course."

[jamiexanderson-blog]

"I might have made out with someone."

[hallielara]

"Really? Let me guess--one of the 'popular' girls?"

[roxie-madison-deactivated201507]

Roxie smiled and glanced at Hallie’s book. “You’re reading too. That’s a moral high-ground that has grown rare. What have you got?” She said gesturing to the book.

[hallielara]

Hallie turned the book over so that the cover was facing up, her shoulders lifting in a slight shrug. "It's nothing special. I found it online."

[jamiexanderson-blog]

"That was the best part," he said with a smug grin.

[hallielara]

"Really?" Hallie's eyebrow rose, curiosity getting the best of her. "What happened?"

[jamiexanderson-blog]

"I could ask them both if you want?"

[hallielara]

"It's okay. I don't want to bother them. I'll figure it out."

[jamiexanderson-blog]

"Have you tried asking Talin or Leo to help out? They’re crazy smart."

[hallielara]

"Not really. I wasn't sure if they'd be willing to help me."

Roxie swung her arms as she walked through the student lounge. As far as she could tell most of the student body was smashed from the night before. She smirked as she sat and kicked up her legs on the coffee table. “So, am I the only one not wankered from last night?”

[hallielara]

Hallie had her nose stuck in one of the novels she was currently reading. The rest of her friends were still quite hangover, so none of them really was much of a company. She looked up when Roxie sat down next to them, smiling slightly at the girl. "Nope. I left fully sober too."

[jamiexanderson-blog]

"The dance wasn’t so bad after all…"

[hallielara]

"It was kind of boring compared to some of the other parties. I ended up leaving when the lights went out."

[huntergear]

"Alright, just saw someone spill their drink on a girl’s dress as a means of starting a conversation. I fear for the future of the art of flirting."

[hallielara]

"If that's the best they got, they are totally doomed."

[allaboutthat-clarington-deactiv]

"So she does laugh" Talin mused with a playful grin. He chuckled as he watched Hallie cover her face, finally dropping his arms when she told him to stop. "Fine, no dancing. What would you like to do then?"

[hallielara]

Hallie tilted her head to one side as she allowed herself to finally grin, her hand going to her hip. Talin was a good friend, he knew how to make her feel better when she was a little down. And obviously, their hook ups were amazing. Hallie had a blast with him. "Drink, leave, anything but dance."

[richard-teller]

Rich was always into Hallie when he was drunk — he was into her anyway, but when you got a few drinks into him, he was extra interested. With a lazy smile, he leaned forward, into her space. “You’re not dancin’.” He slurred, wrapping a strand of her hair around his finger, tugging lightly. “You like dancin’.”

[hallielara]

A soft smile crept up Hallie's face as she tilted her head down, looking at him through her eyelashes. It was beyond obvious that Rich was drunk. If the breath didn't give it away, that dopey look on his face certainly did. But even that way, Hallie couldn't help but enjoy the attention he was giving her. It reminded her of old days when they'd spend their time together instead of him being an ass to her and pushing her away out of nowhere. "I don't like dancing alone. Makes me look like a loser." Not that she looked much better on her day to day life, but that was beside the point.

[allaboutthat-clarington-deactiv]

Talin grinned, noting the smile that had appeared on Hallie’s lips at his antics. “Well, lucky for you, I am” he joked. Taking a step back, Talin performed what could only be described as the most horrendous arm wave ever executed. ”See, we’ll do our own thing” he winked at her.

[hallielara]

Her eyes widened when Talin started dancing, forcing her to cover her face when she started laughing. "Oh my god, just stop." Glancing back at him from between her fingers, she had to shake her head before dropping her hands. "I'm not dancing. Especially not like that."

"Ugh," said Felix, "When will people learn that the next generation shouldn’t be a photocopy of the previous one? It’s such bullshit. I mean it’s Daft Punk and Stromae these days, not fucking Journey. I bet they think Rick Astley is good.” HE fingered his iPod in his pocket thoughtfully. 

[hallielara]

Hallie pursed her lips into a tight line, shoulders scrunched as if she was trying to hide herself. "I like Journey... They're not that bad."

[hallielara]

Hallie wasn't really feeling the dance. She wasn't in the mood to attend in the first place; she mostly agreed to it because of her friends. So instead of being out on the dance floor, she hung back by the tables, glass full of punch in hand. Her mind had wandered elsewhere when she heard someone speaking to her, making her look up and blink her eyes rapidly. "Sorry-- I was distracted. You were saying?"

[felix-lacroix-deactivated201505]

"Evidently," Felix said, eyebrow raised judgementally, "What even is the point of this party, if there isn’t even good music?"

[hallielara]

"The point is. They want us to like their music and dance like them. You know, in the old days."

[felix-lacroix-deactivated201505]

"Hey, DJ, can you play anything that isn’t from 20 years ago or Celine Dion?!"

[hallielara]

"I'm not sure they know any current music."
