Sonny smiled warmly and turned motioning for her to follow him, thankful she said yes. “I hope you’re not afraid of heights.” He said before climbing into the elevator. “The only really chill place to smoke is the roof.” Sonny hadn’t been feeling himself the past couple of days he tried to ignore it but weed and booze weren’t exactly cutting it.

She arched a brow at the mention of heights before shaking her head. “Not one bit,” she said following him inside the elevator. Leaning against the wall, she made a face at him. “The roof? Are you sure we’re allowed up there?”

Sonny scoffed resting his head against the door frame “Don’t insult me James.” Sonny enjoyed James’s company he found her timid personality quite comforting.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” she laughed, walking over to him and nodded. “In that case, how am I suppose to say no to that face?” she teased as she poked his cheek.

Knocks on doorframe “Hey so this is a bit of a long shot but I snagged some pretty awesome weed and I was thinking you might want to join me, smoking alone gets pretty lonely sometimes.” Pouts while holding up a joint.

Looks over at the boy before raising a brow. “Sure you don’t have me confused with someone else?” she asked. Sure, her and Sonny were pals and all, but they were never really the closest of friends.

“I’d prefer if we could watch some other horror movies instead.”

[jamiehardesty-blog]

“Well, alright. What do you have in mind?”

[devonprescott]

Absentmindedly, Devon began to play with her friends hair. “Yeah? Do you think it’s where you’re supposed to be?”

[jamiehardesty-blog]

Looking up at her friend, another smile played on her face. “I don’t know if it’s where I’m supposed to be, but... I’m just happy to be here.”

[caldwelljesse-deactivated201607]

“By that I do definitely mean teens 90′s movies.”

[jamiehardesty-blog]

“So does that mean Scream’s off the table? Bummer. I was hoping we could all go and watch it one of these days.”

[wyattand]

He shrugged. “S’alright.. I could do without some of the noise but..” Wyatt smiled, looking at her. “What about you? I mean, obviously you are now.. what with my presence and all.” He winked playfully for good measure.

[jamiehardesty-blog]

Laughing slightly, she nodded at his comment. “Obviously. You’re kind of my hero for that.” she teased, splashing her feet around in the pool.

[devonprescott]

Scrunching her nose, she nodded. “I agree. It doesn’t feel right, yeah? I still feel like I’m seventeen years old. Like, when will we have the moment where it’s like holy shit I’m an adult.”

[jamiehardesty-blog]

“I’m in no rush to go on and grow up,” she said before laying her head against her friends shoulder. “I kinda of like where I am right now.”

[caldwelljesse-deactivated201607]

“Very good thing. Hopefully you won’t mention any 90′s movies either.”

[jamiehardesty-blog]

“Ooh, that might be a tough one. Some of the best movies were made in the 90s, y’know?”

[wyattand]

As far as he was concerned it was true. He hadn’t said it with any self pitying, it was just fact. Or that’s how Wyatt saw it. “Alright, alright. Don’t beg now..” He teased, hoping she wouldn’t get her panties in a twist over his joking.

[jamiehardesty-blog]

Keeping her gaze on him as he sat, she grinned over at him before tilting her head slightly. “Enjoying the party?” 

[devonprescott]

“Not to sound even cornier, but there’s no place I’d rather be that right here with you, honeybee.” She ran a hand through her dark hair, before pulling out a blunt Sonny had given her earlier. “Truth or dare in high school was bad enough, but imagine it now that we’re basically all adults. Cringeworthy.”

[jamiehardesty-blog]

James couldn’t help but smile as her cheeks turned a light shade of pink. It was hard not to blush at such kind words. She kept her eyes on the girl as she grabbed the blunt from out her hair. “Ugh,” she groaned slightly, a small laugh escaping her. “I don’t even like hearing the word ‘adult’ Let alone refer myself as one.”

[caldwelljesse-deactivated201607]

“So I’m going to Pike Place Market right now, apparently it has good food so why not. If someone wants to tag along I guess you can, though if you mention how it feels like Grey’s Anatomy I’ll leave you there and won’t talk to you again. Ever.”

[jamiehardesty-blog]

“Good thing I’ve never watched it then, yeah?”

[jess-wilde-deactivated20201213]

“Jamieeeee” Still pouting, Joel swam away from her but it didn’t take long for him to come back. “Jaaaaaaamieeeee coooooomeeeee intooooo the pooooooool” He said, making his best impression of Dory speaking whale before laughing.

[jamiehardesty-blog]

Raising a brow as he started speaking whale, it didn’t take long for her to burst out into laughter. Shaking her head, she met his gaze again, poking his nose softly. “Nooooooooo, Joooooooo.”

[jess-wilde-deactivated20201213]

Moving his hands up to her knee, Joel smiled a tiny bit. “Come on, you know I’m gonna hold on to you the whole time– Just a little bit, come on, Jamie.I’m all alone in this pool”

[jamiehardesty-blog]

Looking down at his hands then back at him, she sighed. “I’m right here, alright? Now go on and swim, Dory. I’ll be on the look out for any sharks.”

[jess-wilde-deactivated20201213]

“Why can’t you do nothing with me, in the pool?” He asked, pouting at her.

[jamiehardesty-blog]

“I am in the pool! Or, well, at least my feet are. So, technically I am.”

[eleanorxdubois-blog]

“You’re absolutely right, everyone gets over themselves within a couple of days and we all go right back to where we started.” Maybe that was the problem, the group simply reenacted Ground Hog’s Day at every turn. They fought and made up, fought and made up, and over and over in an endless cycle. “Exciting and messy, just like always. We missed seeing your face.”

[jamiehardesty-blog]

She blushed slightly at the comment before letting out another chuckle. “I’m sure you guys barely noticed that I wasn’t there. Especially since things sounded like they ended on a wild note.”

[jess-wilde-deactivated20201213]

“It is exactly because I like you way too much that I am going to do it” Joel told her, before jumping into the pool. Coming up for air after a couple of seconds, he went over to where she was sitting and wrapped his hands around her ankles. “You have three seconds to jump before I pull you in.”

[jamiehardesty-blog]

As if to keep avoiding the conversation, Joel jumped into the pool with a great big splash. Using her hands as a shield to keep from getting wet, she watched as he made his way up to her feet. Arching a brow, she shook her head. “Why can’t you just let me do what I’m best at? Nothing.”
