you tell me you're in love with me, that you can't keep your pretty eyes away from me. it's not that i don't wanna stay, but every time you come too close, i move away. i wanna believe in everything you say, 'cause it sounds so good, but if you really love me, move slow. there's things about me you just have to know. sometimes i run, sometimes i hide. sometimes i'm scared of you, but all i really want is to hold you tight, treat you right, be with you day and night. baby, all i need is time.

“ but if my shoes aren’t cute and my posture isn’t perfect, how will i ever make a good first impression ?? “ she asked with a knowing grin, as if she had somehow ‘cracked the code’. thinking further on her statement, her brows furrowed, as if she didn’t understand what she had just said. “ i guess i can start by not spilling whipped cream on our customers. god, i suck !! i feel like hilary duff in a cinderella story. “

             𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐀𝐓. she brought naivety to the staff, meaning finn (plus rory and mason) were required to keep a watchful eye over the entirety of her shift. though at times tiresome, always excitingly unpredictable. he surveys the girl, raises his eyebrows as if guessing her usual order is a challenge. ❛  i’m going out on a limb by saying that even though it’s almost spring, you want something pumpkin. with an absurd amount of cinnamon.  ❜  he smugly offers a smirk. ❛  we don’t have pumpkin but i think a chai frappuccino with triple the cinnamon will work, yeah? ❜

katie belle giggled when finn took a shot in the dark at her order. however, hearing that he couldn’t provide her what she wished for gave her the motivation to tie her apron around her neck and around her waist, heading back towards the ‘creation station’. “ here, let me help you !! “ she offered, grabbing a cup and a lid. “ the trick to a pumpkin spice frappuccino, not latte, is that it doesn’t involve pumpkin at all !! you want just a regular vanilla, not vanilla bean, just vanilla. you pour that into a cup. from there, you take a dash of cinnamon, like one tablespoon, you put that in, and you swirl that around a little bit. then you take a pinch of nutmeg and a pinch of ginger, only around one teaspoon each, you put both in, and you swirl that around a little bit, too. you put a whole bunch of whipped cream on top, though not enough to recreate yesterday’s whole customer latte fiasco. you sprinkle a little cinnamon on the whipped cream, and then, smack a little lid on top, and then you have my drink order. now, one thing you forgot is that along with this order, i also order a vanilla cupcake with white whipped icing and lots of sprinkles. lyra usually makes it for me, but she’s not here, so i guess i’ll just grab a spare and slather some sprinkles on top. “ the chatterbox explained, demonstrating the steps as she explained them. “ i saw this one really cute guy do it at starbucks once and then once i got this job, i decided to try it. the first time, i tried to blend the frappuccino while it was in the cup and it went all over the place !! but after i was yelled at and cried for a couple of hours and had to be sent home early, i’m good at it now !! it’s probably the only thing i can make in this shop !! “ katie belle then cheered, taking a sip of her self-made beverage. she gritted her teeth once she came to a realization. “ so, i guess that means you lost ?? waah-waah-waaaaaaaaaah.”

alex had clearly been crying. as much as the girl was known to be an emotional wreck, sobbing in the break room was something that rarely happened. and no amount of concealer or bright lipstick was able to hide her puffy eyes and messed hair.   “   hey.   ”   she said as soon as someone approached, trying to conjure up her signature bright smile.   “   i was about to get something at the café, i’m so hungry. do you want anything, i can grab you… well, anything.   ”   she laughed weakly, hoping her words didn’t come out too jumbled.

katie had just walked in to the shop, getting prepared for her evening shift at the cafe. suddenly, she found a familiar ginger in her sight and for once, katie couldn’t avoid her. “ i’m actually heading to the cafe now. i’ve gotta start my shift. “ she stated awkwardly, breaking into a nervous giggle as she continued to walk towards the back, before noticing the ginger’s tears and stopping in her tracks. “ you’re sad. do you want something from there ?? “

       𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐎𝐎𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐇 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐀 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄. a few regulars are still scattered around, soaking in the atmosphere before they have to vacate. some are seated in listening booths while others clack away on their laptop. robert smith’s voice fills the space as he coo’s about someone making him feel whole and young again when they’re alone. the lull in business offers him time to rest his elbows on the counter and pull out the book he’s been trying to get into for the past three weeks, annoyingly stuck on the first chapter. after a few minutes of reading he scribbles ‘WHY’ in the margin of page fifteen. scuffling catches his attention and easily pulls him away from boredom; he looks up to catch sight of a familiar face.  ❛  hey! ❜   a grin stretches over his features as he tucks his book away. ❛  the usual? ❜

[katiebellestauss]

katie belle had decided to walk into work early. after all, the atmosphere was something the blonde has been fond of for ages now. when she walked in, she was greeted by lovesong by the cure, a favorite to those at the shop. katie belle didn’t know it too well herself, but she learned to treat it as background noise. when she noticed a familiar face at the front desk, she took it upon herself to rush up to him, with the same eager, naive spirit she always maintained. “ that depends on what you think my usual is. let’s make it a game !! guess !! “

 it    was    slow    in    the   store  ,    and    so    janey    took    it    upon    herself    to    abandon    her    post    and    annoy    finn    at    the    counter  .     she    had    been    cooly    threatening    to    squirt    the    communal     whipped    cream     into     her    mouth    when    she    heard   a    telling   blonde    squeak    and    crash    from    behind    her  .     when    she    turned    on    her     heel  ,    stainless    steel    canister    still    in    hand  ,    sure    enough  ,    there    was    coffee    in     places    she    found    to    be    rather     unfortunate   .     she    traded    the    whipped    cream    for    a    wad    of    napkins    and    swept     in    to    stand    beside    katie    belle  .     ❛     SO     sorry     about    that    sir    –––    ❜        janey    placed    a    gentle    hand    on    her    friends    shoulder     and     passed    the    customer    his    napkins  .     ❛     we’ll     get     you    a    new    one     right    away  .     and    a    pastry    on    the     house    –––    cruller  ,    right   ?    ❜      back    at    the    counter  ,     she    smiled    warmly    at    katie    belle  .     ❛     no    biggie  ,   happens    all    the    time  .    you    can    thank    god    it    wasn’t    hot  ,    and    that    he’s    a    nice    enough    regular  .     comp    his    drink    ,    apologize    profusely  ,   and   wear    more    sensible    shoes   .    ❜     this    last    piece    of    advice    was    amusing    coming    from    janey  ,    who    sported    3   inch    green    suede   pumps  .     

katie belle had to admit that she was comforted by janey’s presence. if it were anyone else, she would have probably became even more startled, but janey’s energy was calming to the blonde. “ i’ve been training for two weeks and i can’t seem to get the hang of it. comp his drink and apologize profusely, i can do that. “ she repeated, attempting to calm herself down. just then, she looked down to realize that the girl was also wearing heels. “ wait a minute !! “

Watching Katie as she walked over to the customer, Lyra was only slightly concerned about the precarious way in which the younger female was holding the cup. Add in the heels and that worry doubled, but the older blonde trusted the other enough. And that might have been her biggest mistake in the first place.

Dropping the rag she was using to clean the display case, she made her way over to Katie and the now coffee-soaked customer. “You’re not getting fired, sweetie,” she said before turning to the customer. “I’m so sorry about all of this. We have some extra t-shirts in the back. I’ll grab you one and we’ll get that drink refunded and replaced right away.”

Grabbing Katie’s hand, Lyra pulled her back over to the bar. “Katie, this is why I said you have to stop wearing heels to work. Okay? But it’s okay, you’re not going to get fired. They weren’t even that upset. Just make them another drink and get them the t-shirt, alright?”

“ but heels help my posture !! and they go great with this outfit !! “ katie belle explained, getting side-tracked by her own thought process. she quickly snapped back to reality when she was given a command. “ got it, chief !! quick question, what size of t-shirt does the customer appear to be ?? i mean, they seem like a large, but with my luck, they’ll be a medium and i’ll be making a bad situation even worse. “

truly, it was like the blind leading the blind. it had been that way from the start. it’s not like mason had any right to ever be impatient with anyone on this planet —after all, it was miraculous half the people around tolerated him as much as they did— but katie belle surely tested that. sure, she tried and mason never ever held any real animosity against the girl, but explaining things like ‘the americano ain’t ‘sposed to have steamed milk, we just went over this’ time and time again had him ready to bash his own head in the cabinet. take this moment for example; mason, happily (and proudly) murmuring the tune of cum on feel the noize to himself while he worked away when all seemed to come to a screeching halt. whirling around, he failed to keep his jaw from dropping to the floor as eyes darted between katie belle and her unfortunate victim. “you know…” the male finally muttered, a wiseass smirk crossing his face as a telltale sign anything to come out of his mouth shouldn’t be trusted, “i think ya’ actually missed a spot.”

“ oh, ha ha, mason. i bet you were wishing for this all day. i messed up bad. i messed up real bad. arnie langford’s coming tomorrow and i guarantee this will be written up. i am so fired. “ katie belle stressed, talking nearly a mile a minute. taking a pause to catch her breath, she couldn’t help but stare at the innocent victim. their mess was a constant reminder of her massive mistake. closing her eyes and taking in a deep breath, she proceeded to let out a whimper and stomped her foot. opening her eyes after that small toddler meltdown, she decided to try her best to rectify the situation, if she even could at this point. “ how about i get you a towel and we’ll start this whole thing over ?? wouldn’t that be fun ?? “ she asked, plastering a smile on her face as she let out a nervous giggle. that fake smile turned to a frown when the pissed customer got up and walked out. “ thanks for choosing jukebox records !! come again !! “ she called out, turning back towards mason. “ well, on the bright side, at least they didn’t write something negative on the tip !! they didn’t leave a tip at all, but we’ll work on getting tips next time !! “

katie belle smiled as she carried a large mug with a plate underneath in her hands. the whipped cream on top was nearly double the size of the cup. slightly rushing in heels to bring the mug over, she didn’t bother to look down. why would she? she didn’t think she needed it. “ one double-whipped, ice-cold frappucino for the fine-- aah !! “ she gasped, unintentionally tossing the contents at the customer’s face. taking a few steps back with widened eyes, that smile quickly disappeared. “ i am so sorry. can i get you a napkin ?? another cup ?? a refund ?? a hair dryer ?? “ she panicked, turning to the employee behind her. “ i’m so getting fired, aren’t i ?? “ she commented. “ aw, phooey !! “ she then pouted to herself.

( PEYTON LIST / CIS FEMALE / TWENTY-ONE / SHE/HER ) i always seem to run into KATIE BELLE STAUSS at jukebox records. i’ve heard that if the STAFF MEMBER (BARISTA) had to choose one go-to record, it’d be BABY ONE MORE TIME by BRITNEY SPEARS and that they can be BUBBLY but also kind of SELFISH. for some reason, they always make me think of BUBBLE GUM, FUZZY PENS, PASTEL SCRUNCHIES.

blossom again! this character is brand new for me, but i’m excited to give her a test run and i’m so excited to interact with you all!

character inspirations: rachel green from friends, jackie burkhart from that ‘70s show, cher horowitz from clueless, elle woods from legally blonde.

katie belle stauss is a ‘90s blonde teen movie stereotype.

she’s the daughter of claire stauss, a sex and relationship therapist. her mother gave her a stereotypically southern name, as that’s where her entire family is from. she grew up with multiple parents, as her mom was polyamorous. as a result, she was often picked on in elementary school and middle school.

in high school, she turned the bullying around by simply attempting to outshine everyone else. she dyed her hair blonde and her new life formed from there. she was often a bit selfish in school, but easily befriendable. think less regina george and more cher horowitz, although she definitely had her regina moments every now and then.

when she finally got out of high school, she craved independence. while she eventually learned to love her multiple parents, she had to admit that it became overbearing at times. she went to college for a bit, majoring in fashion merchandising. however, she soon realized that college wasn’t for her. in her sophomore year, she decided to drop out and go job hunting instead. 

while this happened, she decided to move into the apartment above jukebox records. she was a frequent customer with her family way back when, so she loved the atmosphere and wanted to be surrounded by it at all times.

recently, she got a job as a barista at jukebox records. however, she’s not doing a very good job and it’s only a matter of time before she’s fired. this is the first job she genuinely enjoys, so she’s trying to avoid that as much as possible.

alongside that, she’s trying to get in touch with her father. her mother never really spoke much about him but there’s so much that hasn’t been explained. she has so many traits that don’t really come from her mom, so she needs to get to know him and figure out what makes her ‘her’. 

will she be able to get her needs met while staying on top of her job? who knows? find out on “katie belle is a hot mess” at 9!

she’s well-meaning, but she can also be a bit of a bitch and she’s definitely a bit too dumb for her own good.

sorry that was so short! here are some wanted connections!

her trainer at her job, who eyerolls at every mistake she makes.

the phoebe and monica to her rachel. she really just needs that girl squad.

the donna to her jackie. she would love an unjudging confidant.

the hyde to her jackie. the yin to her yang. enemies to lovers possibly?

the tai to her cher. someone who she can give a makeover too, because she just loves makeovers.

the ross to her rachel. basically an ex who cries a lot.

the warner to her elle. someone who will give her that big rejection and in turn, inspire her out of spite to do better.
