The afternoon, night, day, any time really. YouTube is the best and worst thing that ever happened to mankind.

It’s very handy though when you want to procrastinate. Or need to be cheered up by cute animal videos.

You should’ve just parited all Saturday to be honest. Be case we both know we are going to have no time for that after Cheerealding starters.

I partied Saturday night some. I can’t exactly party during the day, even if I want to because no one else does. I’ll find time. You know me.

I’m not even sure if that’s possible to watch all of those episodes in less then a week.

I’d have to give up sleep, school, and partying to do so. Maybe even eating.

I went to the beach with a friend. And I’m not sure what I’m doing tomorrow. Practicing moves sounds like it’s fun for you.

I’m jealous. I love going to the beach. It was fun, I had a good time and this way I won’t feel so over my head when cheer starts.

At least we’re one week closer to the end of the school year. That sounds like a fun…Saturday. I get to work all weekend. 

One week down and how many more to go? Where do you work?

Santana watched Maggie, debating whether she felt more comfortable sitting here or whether it looked more fun to actually get in the water. She waited for the other girl to surface at least. “Oh, I know,” she said, finally slipping down and suppressing a gasp at the cool water on her hot skin. It felt really nice once she’d committed to it, though, and she pushed the water around with a smile. “But even Coach has never had to deal with the stuff that’s going on this year. All the cameras? It’s crazy. I’m surprised more weird stuff hasn’t happened. Or maybe we’ll just find out things we didn’t even know happened when it airs Tuesday.” Santana gave a playful splash towards Maggie, although she wasn’t really trying to get her wet. It only went a few inches. “Are you nervous?”

Maggie watched amused, as Santana had this look as to whether or not she was going to join her in the water. After what seemed like forever, Santana finally slipped in and Maggie let out a cheer followed by a chuckle as the girl let out a gasp. “Yeah, there is that, but honestly I’m just trying to ignore it, to not let it get to me and pretend like it’s not even there and happening. I am interested to see what I’ve missed though, what they’ve captured. Are we even allowed to watch it?” Crinkling her nose up at the splash Maggie flicked some water in Santana’s direction lazily. “Nervous? About what?”

F2F // Another Friday Night: JJ & Maggie

[hotdamnitsmags]

JJ tried not to fidget nervously as Maggie just continued to smile at him, her eyebrows raised. He knew that would be a dead giveaway to the continued nerves. He almost sighed in relief when she seemed to drop the subject, and he shifted his focus to the road ahead of them, gripping the side of the seat as someone honked. “Damn impatient people.” He muttered under his breath. JJ nodded when Maggie said they were going to have fun. “I know we are. Definitely. Lots of fun.” He just had to believe it. Right. He rolled his eyes a bit when Maggie told him to smile a little bit. But he smiled at her anyways, hoping it didn’t seem too forced. It wasn’t like the idea of hanging out with Maggie was that horrible. He loved hanging out with her. It was just usually in different settings. “I’m ready.” JJ replied, slipping out of the car after her. He let her grab his hand, heading to the house. “Drink sounds good. You’re not going to give me something awful, are you, if I trust you?” He imagined Maggie knew a lot more about alcohol than he did. He was pretty sure Maggie wouldn’t give him something that could kill him. He hopped not, at least. He looked around the house, a little nervous about being in the house of someone he didn’t know. But maybe that would be a good thing. No one would have expectations for him. “I’ll try not to embarrass you.” JJ told her, squeezing her hand in time with his words.

Letting out a laugh when JJ at least humored her, Maggie knew she was going to have to get the boy to open up a little bit more for him to have the most fun and get the most out of the night. It wasn’t going to be easy, but she was always up for the challenge, and knew she’d get him there eventually. Even if it took a few drinks in. And that was the first stop, once they entered the booming and bustling house where the party was. Tugging on JJ’s arm, Maggie pulled them to where she assumed the kitchen was, down the hall where a few people were hanging out. Grabbing a few things she knew was to be good, she poured some of the strong stuff at the bottom before holding up sprite and pointing at the orange juice. “You won’t embarrass me, okay? Just promise me you’ll try to have fun though. And what do you want? You can try beer but it isn’t that good as a starter. My favorite is sprite with the strong stuff and OJ. What’s your favorite soda?”

PRIVATE

[hotdamnitsmags]

josephjsmythe:

I think I can handle just buying you some snacks. Unless you decide to buy the entire snackbar. I don’t think my wallet can handle that, Maggie. They’re pretty Sci-fi. They’re old though, but they’re like on the level of Star Trek and Star Wars. They just never had successful movies for them. Don’t worry, I’ll warn you if you ever try to pick them up. That’s… well a pretty good path to take, I guess. I’m not sure if I could do that, even if I’m not exactly grouchy. Smiling too much makes me feel weird. Hey! It’s been a while since I read it, it’s not my fault. Good. Please spare me a rant. Hmm. I mean, I love Twizzlers. Starbursts are good but I don’t eat them too much. I guess for chocolate, I’m a sucker for Reese’s or Kit Kats or Mounds Bars on occasion. I am pretty good at reading your mood. It’s from hanging out with you way too much for movies. I’ll try not to give you the wrong thing. I mean, I’d say Captain America but I’m not blonde enough for that. I’ll leave that to Sam. Maybe Hawkeye? Though he’s pretty tough and I’m - well not really tough at all. Think I could do Bruce? Though I’m not sure how you’d dress up as Bruce unless I went as the Hulk and I don’t think I want to wander around in just shorts. I did, yeah. None of those team match ups surprise me. They work along the lines of the comics and the movies. It should be interesting. I mean, I think people might be a little surprised about Hawkeye being Team Cap but I think it makes sense. Hawkeye has a family, he wouldn’t want to have to register and put them in danger. I wish they had mixed it up instead of giving us the same origin story repeatedly, but maybe they’ll make it good.

I have a big appetite but it isn’t that big. Maybe if I hadn’t eaten all day, though that’s another story. Well, I like some sort of sci-fi, but just to an extent. Like I enjoy Star Wars but it isn’t my favorite. Don’t kick me out of the club for saying that, either. Smiling too much makes you feel weird? But you have a nice smile, you should try to do it more often because you may have a little bit more fun that way. And Reese’s are probably one of my favorites too, so I understand that one for sure. Are you complaining about hanging out with me too much at movies because it’d probably cost me more but I could go on my own, you know. I like your company. Hawkeye would be a good one! Considering he’s one of my favorites for sure and you could totally pull him off. Now let’s decide who I should dress up as. Scarlet Witch? That way she and Hawkeye would go together if that’s who you decided with. Really? Not even Black Widow with Iron Man? And I can see Hawkeye being with Captain America but Black Widow with Iron Man? I’ll just have to see it to believe it.

getlikegaby:

That’s probably a better goal. I think two different views are fun, though. Trying to convince someone why you’re right and their argument is invalid is always interesting. I hope there are more reasons why you like me, but I’ll take it. Okay, great, well, maybe sometime after lunch, then?

But sometimes the other person just doesn’t see your way so I almost feel like I’m wasting my time and energy when I could be having fun with them and just ignoring it. Well, yeah, I mean, have you met you? There are tons of reasons your likable, Gaby. Sure. Sometime after lunch. I’m yours.

awildedaisy:

Not a real one, just almost.

I don’t even know what that’s called but it still doesn’t sound like a good idea?

smrtypantszoe:

I guess I can let it slide a little since you’re multi tasking. 

Best kind of tasking is multitasking.

Santana kicked her legs gently, just enjoying the feel of the cold water while the sun heated her skin. “Hey, we’ve always gotta start somewhere. And yeah, definitely. I’m excited too, as long as everyone else is on board.”

Maggie ducked under the water, getting her hair wet and enjoying the cool water on her skin before resurfacing and grinning at the girl across from her, still sitting on the edge. “You’re right. And me too. But they really shouldn’t even be on the team if they aren’t willing to work hard and be the best. And coach knows that.”

[hotdamnitsmags]

smrtypantszoe:

I hardly think one more week of rest will make you rusty. 

I’m doing a little bit of both today, just to be sure.

Santana looked over at Maggie, setting her towel down on a chair. “Some of those moves are a serious workout. Did you come up with them on purpose?” She laughed softly, walking to the edge of the pool and sitting down, dipping her legs in. “But really, that’s some good stuff. I feel better now that we went over that.”

Taking the towel she had brought with her and laying it near Santana’s, Maggie stretched a little bit before adjusting her bathing suit, and taking a seat a few spots away from Santana. Letting out a laugh herself, Maggie shrugged her shoulders, cheeks flushed just lightly at the comment. Sliding off the edge and into the pool, she allowed herself a chance to relax after all the hard work they had done already. “Maybe. But it’s just a start. And you think so? I do too. Makes me feel less nervous for cheer to start.”

[hotdamnitsmags]

smrtypantszoe:

Why would you do that to yourself? Isn’t the season starting punishment enough?

Because I enjoy doing it. And I want to help us get to nationals this year. Can’t be rusty.

[hotdamnitsmags]

getlikegaby:

That’s good, but also not, because it’s difficult to always be on the same page as everyone. I think you have to change your own views and opinions for that to always work, and who wants to do that? Oh, definitely. I don’t even know most people’s titles, so I’m definitely not judging anybody based on them. Sunday afternoon works for me. I’ll text you in the morning or something?

It is, but I can always try to meet in the middle, at the least. That way we’re both winners, right? I don’t mind if people have a different view than me, and I’m not going to try to change theirs, so as long as we’re both good with that. See? I knew there was a reason why I liked you. There you go. Sure, yeah. I’m pretty sure I’m available all day Sunday anyways, so whenever is good with me.

[hotdamnitsmags]

smrtypantszoe:

But…why?

Why what?
