the wanted son.

"we used to play pretend."

“It can’t get any worse. I dropped it and it just - I don’t even know,” Lennon shrugged, looking down at the lifeless piece of machinery in front of her before handing it over to the boy, “I owe you. I make fantastic cookies, if you’re interested.”

[kaydenstone-blog]

“Did you drop it on cement or something? It looks pretty, well -- like it had a car crash.” Kayden chuckled slightly and chewed his lip, not meaning to seem insensitive. “Did you’ve anything important on it? Just kind of to prepare for the worst.”

“Really though, your try is better than anything I could manage and honestly not just saying that.” Emma’s fingers interlocked with one another as she gave a hopeful smile. Accidentally deleting her report due tomorrow. Not one of her finer moments. “Kayden, you’d literally be my super hero if you could recover this file.. Like, I’ll literally bake you superman brownies.”

[kaydenstone-blog]

“Superman brownies is a pretty big promise you know.” Kayden chuckled slightly. “I could give this one thing a try, my dad swears by it -- says he uses it when the interns mess up and lose things all the time.” His fingers danced across the keyboard, never missing a beat. The boy knew that it would more than likely work, but part of him was still anxious it wouldn’t.

“What did you need help with?”

[kaydenstone-blog]

A small sigh left him and Kayden chewed his lip. “My dad let me borrow his computer one a kind of loan basis -- and I’ve lost some of his files.” 

[campbellhq-blog]

“just do what you must, please.” she begged, hoping that he could aid her in getting what she needed. “i kinda really need that audio file back and i don’t know what i did to lose it in the first place.” at times like this, diana started biting on her nails as a sign of stress.

[kaydenstone-blog]

Kayden nodded as the girl spoke, desperately wanting to help her. He focused on the screen and tried to navigate his way through the abundance of folders, clicking and changing various settings. “What’s the file for anyway? An assignment?” 

[brzxton]

“Ah, screw it.” He let out a sigh and closed the top. “I’ll just see if mom will send me the money to get a new one. Can’t finish college without it anyway, right? Piece of shit.” 

[kaydenstone-blog]

“If you need to use it urgently y’can borrow mine.” Kayden offered his brother a small smile, hoping to calm him down more than anything. If he was sure the older boy got anything from their father, it was his temper. “I’m finished with it for the week -- majority of the stuff I’ve to do is on paper.” 

[rcynv-blog]

“I can’t take it anymore,” she whined, leaning back in her chair. “That problem is super hard, Kayden, I can’t figure it out.” Reyna had been staring at the single problem for what seemed like hours, her brain just wasn’t cooperating with her. “Maybe you could just sneak in during my exam and take over for me,” she grinned over at him, before reaching across the table and grabbing a fry, only to slather it in ketchup. “No one’ll ever know.” She was quick to pop the fry in her mouth, still staring over at him. Reyna wasn’t exactly sure how casual this interaction was, if it was just a study date, or if the two actually liked each other enough to consider it as something more. She’d be lying if she claimed she wasn’t attracted to the male, he was very attractive, smart, super kind. Definitely boyfriend material, someone you’d want to have a long-term relationship with. Marriage, even. He was raised right, that was evident. After her past, though, Reyna wasn’t entirely sure if she deserved something like that. Not after screwing her sister’s boyfriend behind her back, secretly taking a sledgehammer to their already fragile relationship. “I can’t stare at this anymore,” she mumbled, quickly moving to close her laptop, as if she’d change her mind if she waited too long. “We could just hangout. Eat.” @kaydenstone

In all honesty, Kayden sometimes thought that his college classes were beneath his intellect. Sometimes he found the problems too easy to complete, or that they didn’t really challenge him at all. It wouldn’t be uncommon for some people to think that was stuck up of him, it probably was, but he’d felt that way since his high school classes too. Whenever Kayden was home and he’d show his homework or essays to his father, the older man would say the same -- that his teachers should pick harder questions or topics to base their papers on -- Kayden agreed, and by nature it had become his pattern of thinking too. When he saw the brunette struggling with the question, Kayden tried his hardest not to jump in and just finish it for her. He didn’t think Reyna was stupid of course, but Kayden wanted to give her the best chance at figuring it out herself before he stood in. “You don’t need me sneaking in, trust me, you’re probably smarter than the rest of your class.” He offered a small smile before chuckling. “Although I would look good in a wig, probably. You could do my makeup too if you really wanted to sell it.” His smile turned into a grin before he rubbed his neck slightly. Hanging out wasn’t something that Kayden did -- he was a frequent study date-r, late night cram-er and occasionally dabbled in group projects. But ‘hanging out’ was foreign -- did that make them friends? More than friends? Crushes? Social rules, to Kayden, were like reading another language for the first time. “Well if you really can’t crack it -- I wouldn’t mind getting a milkshake. I’ll even pay for one for you, too. Long as it’s not chocolate -- that’s the worst flavor.”

Jay: i was so not ready for this college life

Jay: i wish i was still a child, no responsibilities, all fun

Kayden: i suppose dropping out could be an option if you really wanted to

Kayden: my dad would crucify me though

“Look -- I honestly don’t know that much about computers.” Kayden chuckled and chewed his lip, never liking the feeling of letting someone down. “I could try though, but I don’t want to mess it up even more.”

[rcmybcrke]

Whip and nae nae. You don’t know what that is? That’s so wild. It’s been every where the entirety of 2016.

[kaydenstone-blog]

“I don’t really get out too much -- unless it’s for classes or study groups or you know -- nerd stuff.” Kayden anxiously rubbed his neck and chuckled slightly. “Kind of had me guessing it had something t’do with horses honestly.”

Nina: As long as we don't get caught you won't end up in jail, Kay

Nina: How about we just go for a walk around the city? I'll tone down what I have planned... for now

Kayden: depends

Kayden: you haven't done something illegal right?

Kayden: you're not a wanted woman?

“I’m not saying I have physics or anything. More like biology classes and the likes. Perks of being in pre-nursing.” She wasn’t the least bit offended by what he said, she was well aware she didn’t look much like a studious girl anyway. The way he looked at the ground gave Elena the urge to just stand up and see how far she could tease him. “You sound so… pure and innocent. Have you never seen a naked girl before? Or a naked person in general?” She wasn’t going to drop the towel, she’d just step closer as much as possible. It was all just a game for her, nothing more.

[kaydenstone-blog]

“Oh -- so all your nitty and gritty kind of classes then?” Kayden raised his eyebrows slightly, almost impressed by the things he was learning about the brunette. He tried to remind himself not to judge people by what they saw on the outside, but Kayden was sure he would forget that by the time another new person came along. He might’ve been smart -- but not street smart. Kayden looked up at the girl as she spoke and swallowed. “Do I really -- look like the kind of guy who gets to you know -- see people?” He could almost feel himself breaking out in a nervous sweat, even if the girls actions wreaked of playfulness.

“What if it decided to haunt you?”  Emilie questioned, a flicker of a smile toying at her lips as she attempted to rationalize the statement in her own mind.  “Can you imagine?  Paranormal activity: thrift store.  You could make a million on the royalties!  If you have one bad thrift store experience you could market it as a true story and be so wealthy you never need to shop at a thrift store again.”

[kaydenstone-blog]

“The sad thing is, I actually think people would watch it. Like -- think of how many paranormal movies they’ve already made -- and to me, the trailers all make them look the same.” A small grin spread over Kayden’s face. “I’d just have to probably mimic a few things here and there but I don’t think it’d be that hard.”

Yeah, boys are gross. One minute I’m whip and nae naeing and then there’s a boner tryna get in my ass. Honestly I don’t know why they think that’d work.

[kaydenstone-blog]

A small frown crossed his face. “Whip -- and whatever else that was? What is that?” Kayden chuckled slightly -- his pop culture knowledge not stretching beyond movies and television.

autumn had a feeling that one of these days her habit of doing her makeup in the car was going to get her in an accident. but she did it anyway because she wanted to make sure everything was in place as soon as she arrived to her destination. however, she was not fully prepared for today to be the one day she finally got in a car accident. it was a fluke accident and from the looks of it, neither cars got seriously damaged. “look, this is all my fault. applying lipstick while driving might not have been the best decision..”

[kaydenstone-blog]

His mom had always drilled in the importance of safe driving from the moment that Kayden got his licence. She made him promise numerous times before he was even handed his car keys that he’d be responsible, which he had been, and avoid accidents. Kayden knew that she was genuinely worried for his safety, but he always figured nothing would ever happen -- until now, being pulled over on the side of the road with another girl in obvious distress. “I’m not calling the cops, and you don’t need to worry about insurance or anything. I’ll get it fixed in the shop this afternoon, and if you need any money I can front yours too.” Kayden offered a small smile, knowing more than likely he’d had to explain his expenses to his father -- but he’d deal with that another time.

“Yes, you did hear me correctly. I didn’t go to any party on Friday because I was busy. I read three whole chapters of my inorganic chemistry textbook, and it was an incredibly riveting experience. Why is that so strange?”

[kaydenstone-blog]

“Well I thought out of all the text books you’d be that engulfed in -- inorganic chemistry wouldn’t be it.” Kayden chuckled slightly and shrugged. “Not judging you though, I was pretty much doing the same -- but jumping from one book to the other. I’ve a lot of ground to cover this week.”

“On the list of things I need right now, I think coffee just jumped to the number one spot. Or a shot. Depends on what’s easier to get right now.”

[kaydenstone-blog]

“I know some good coffee places -- even one that delivers. You don’t get that often, I guess people try to encourage going outdoors and everything -- but sometimes when you’re ankle deep in a paper, getting up is the last thing on your to do list.”
