Elizabeth Berg, The Year of Pleasures

“Did you need something?” They asked slowly, glancing up from where they’d been scrawling notes into their Psych book. “I’m kinda cramming. I can’t believe it’s March already–if I don’t get these assignments finished, I’m screwed.”

[ivorywildes]

“No, not really,” The blonde waved her hands in refusal, eyes shifting from the student to the book they were working on. “I only know two ways on how to finish assignments without breaking a sweat. It’s either you chant weird latin spells while you mix oregano and olive oil under the moonlight or eat first so that you can finish fast.” Ivory shared, a warm smile plastered on her face as she handed them a chicken salad sandwich. “Eat. It’s just a homework. You’ll finish it in no time.”

“Bro…Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Reese’s Puffs mixed together? I think I might’ve just done something.”

“Please reassure me that what you’re consuming is better than that peanut butter and pickle sandwich you lured me into eating back when we were kids.” Ivory replied in a monotonous voice, rolling her eyes as she watched her brother satiate his hunger by eating yet another ridiculous food combination.

Task X

FAVORITE:

Book -  The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time  by Mark Haddon

Movie - Titanic. Makes me cry every time.

Food - Pesto Pasta with Chicken

Color - All shades of blue.

Type of Music - Contemporary Classical, but I must confess - I’ve been exploring the many genres of music lately and EDM has started giving me a musical high, too.

Season - Winter!

TV Show - Breaking Bad

Brand of Clothing - H&M.

Person - It would be Lee Soo-Jin, mostly because she’s such an adorable person who forced me into watching Korean drama with her. 

Professor - Dennis Macdonald

Subject/Class - Any maths class. I love Analytical Geometry, though!

Social Media - Erm, Instagram?

Animal - Dogs.

Place - The beach.

News Source - Hmm, my favorite news source would either be TMZ or Perez Hilton. Heck, I’m being sarcastic. In all seriousness, it would be BBC and of course, Seacrest News.

Restaurant - Herba’vors

Emoji - I don’t use emojis - I’m such a weirdo.

LEAST FAVORITE:

Book - Anything that has shallow plots and characters who lack detail.

Movie - Anything that makes me snore during the prologue.

Food - Anything with bottle gourd in it. Eurgh.

Season - N/A

TV Show - N/A

Brand of Clothing - Clothes which show too much skin. I know my Valentine’s Ball gown exposed my back but then it covered all other parts of my body. I wouldn’t wear anything that exposes everything. What’s the purpose of wearing clothes if it covers literally nothing, right?

Social Media - Facebook.

Animal - N/A

IVORY WILDE’s Valentine’s Auction Ball O u t f i t

IVORY WILDE’s w a r d r o b e

“Well, glad you found me then,” Jaime gave a small smile to her. “I’ve never been good at directions,” he admitted, “glad to have a GPS that makes sense,” Jaime told her. It had already been a semester, but he swore he’d never seen this area before in his life.

Ivory chuckled at his statement. “That’s the beauty of serendipity. You get to encounter people and things you never thought would be of great help.” She replied, heaving a deep sigh. “You know what, Jaime - we just met today  but I’ve got a deep urge to say this to you. Just a friendly reminder - a smile always looks good on you.”

“Now, let’s go in this direction,” The girl said in a motherly voice, gesturing the way. “In a few minutes we’ll be on our way to Baker’s Delight and I’d make sure you’d go home with cupcakes made in heaven.”

[ivorywildes]

jaimesharp:

“High Tide,” he told her, and moved his hair out of his face. He felt the nervous restlessness he assumed everyone felt when talking to strangers. Jaime forced himself to just be calm and act like a regular person like his brother, as he always did when he felt he was moments from showing how bad he is at socializing.

“Fortunately,  I’m going to head in the same direction as you because I’d have to drop by Baker’s Delight and get some red velvet cupcakes. If you’re not in a hurry, you could go with me. Don’t worry, I’m also a freshman student. The only difference is, I’ve familiarized myself with places around here - which means I know how to get back on the path. With me by your side, I highly doubt you’d get lost. I’ve created a mental map of this place.” Ivory chirped. “I guess that makes me a walking GPS.”

[ivorywildes]

mxxnjaehyun:

“Thank you, so do you.” Jaehyun replied sincerely, flashing a fleting small smile that was gone as soon as it came. He nodded at her suggestion. “Ivy, then.” Using nicknames when they just met was a bit awkward for him, but once again, just another small thing he must get used to sooner than later.  He brushed off her apology. “No need to worry, that’s most likely what happened. I’m afraid my memory isn’t at its best right now, anyways. You seem young enough to be a freshman, so maybe I got confused because of that.” The Korean boy suggested with a shrug, as he couldn’t recall why she looked familiar. His mind was still buzzing thanks to the alcohol, so everything felt like a haze for the young boy. “Oh! Maybe we’re from the same faculty? I Major in Visual & Performing Arts.”

Ivory took Jaehyun’s words as a compliment with a close-mouthed smile. “Oh, yes - I am a freshman student. I take up Electronics Engineering... and Music.” The lady responded, thinking of the possibility of them crossing paths in the past. “Or perhaps, you may have seen me perform live at The Apollo Theater in New York? Beacon Theater? Kimmel Center? Ugh - I’m not really sure.” The girl shrugged, wrinkling her nose. For a second, Ivory hoped that the other remembered, and it was not because she wanted to be remembered as Ivory Wilde - the piano prodigy - but because she wanted to be recognized for the honesty of her art, which was the only thing that did not pressure her into perfection. For Ivory, it was the best achievement someone could ever have - to be recognized and remembered for their music and wisdom.

jaimesharp:

Jaime went in for the handshake, still hesitantly smiling. “Student apartments..?” he knew saying it out loud made him sound stupid, he got lost on the campus where he lives and goes to school. Oh well, only way to get home is to live with his stupidity. 

“Hmm, are you a freshman student?” Ivory inquired. “Well... You’ve got to tell me which one you’re referring to. There’s Sigma Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Mu and Zeta Tau Alpha houses, Kettering Hall, Schuman Hall, Seacrest Luxury and finally, the High Tide apartments - which is a five to eight minute walk from here.” The lady extended her fingers one by one as she stated the name of the apartments. “So, Jaime, tell me - which one is it?”

[ivorywildes]

jaimesharp:

Jaime looked at the girl who spoke to him. “Oh, yeah… I mean, well, eh… I’m lost, I guess?” he ran a hand through his hair in nervous habit and gave a small smile. At least people at this school seemed to be helpful, if not a bit nosy at times. This girl hadn’t done him any wrong, and was being quite polite, so he had no reason to distrust her. “I’m Jaime.”

“Well, if that’s the case, fret not, my dear. I’d be more than happy to be of help.” She said in a cheerful yet authoritative voice, clutching her book in one hand and extending the other for a handshake. Her warm disposition seemed to dissipate negative energy. “My name’s Ivory. Pleased to meet you, Jaime. Where are you heading?”

ianwilde:

“You keep an eye on me?” Ian asked, his eyes wide and hip lips upturned in a sort of incredulous grin. Ian was never the kind of brother who looked out for his doting, younger sister. He never had to be. Growing up, someone else was always keeping an eye on her. She never needed his help because she had every other person on the planet at her disposal for whenever she decided she needed them. Those were the perks of being the golden child, he supposed. She was always under someone’s watchful gaze, which he assumed might have been stressful at times, but, hey–at least someone gave a shit about what she was doing. 

“That’s preposterous, little sis. I’m totally rockin’ all on my own. I’ve barely surpassed the legal limit, chiquita. It’s all bangin’ over here.”

“I could if I wanted to, dear brother.” Ivory answered. “What’s preposterous is that you refuse to acknowledge the fact that you are inebriated. Perhaps you should stop chugging alcohol like it’s water - that’s not advisable. Especially if your younger sister is attending the same party as you are.” She lectured, giving Ian a calm yet reproachful look.

elizabethecholls:

Elizabeth listened to the other speak, her lips lifting slowly as the other went on. She was always putting forth her her best effort and despite the fact that she always insisted she didn’t need any reassurances, every kind word from her peers (her sisters, especially) was appreciated more than she could put into words. Especially when she was drunk. So instead of speaking, she started crying. “Thank you,” She paused. “So much.” 

Ivory was taken aback by Elizabeth momentarily. She didn’t expect the ZTA president to burst into tears as they engaged in discourse, but then again, Echolls looked like she consumed more alcohol than anticipated. “No, thank you. Always remember that, though. We’ve got you. You’ve got us.” The freshman suppressed a chuckle and replied with a light smile lingering on her face. 

[bashfulvinny]

“Yeah no, I’m listening. It’s a really nice story you’ve got there.”

[ivorywildes]

“Honestly! Who wants to wake up in the morning feeling peckish only to find out that their favorite cereal is missing? I don’t know, Vinny, but though this sounds petty and pointless, cereals mean the world to me.” Ivory exclaimed, putting a hand over her heart.
