Sutton was lost, not that they were honestly too surprised. They would get lost in their own home from time to time. The campus of this new school was huge and the map they were given was lost within the first five minutes of moving into their dorm. They knew that they were going to be late to their first class. Not that they really cared. Maybe they should ask someone. “Excuse me…Can you help me find Professor Neal’s sophomore Literature class?” They asked, approaching the first person they saw. @luxorstarters
having just finished her last class for the day, clary was about to get some coffee to relax until she’d practice some ballet when she heard someone calling out for her. turning around to look at them, the blonde listened to their question, a sympathetic smile appearing on her face. ‘ of course, it’s a bit far from where we are but i know where it is. come on. ’ nodding towards where they were supposed to be heading, clary began to walk at a moderate pace, fixing the strap of her bag on her shoulder as she turned to look at them again. ‘ new around here ? ’
“threatening me? what did i do to deserve your threat love?” he asked, grin playfully circling his features as he noticed how she tried her best to be intimidating as she could but he knew her all too well. he could still remember back when they were in middle school, acting all tough while being bullied by their classmates which made him adore her too much. it was her stunning qualities made him fall deeply in love with her; her kind heart, witty comebacks, strong personality, and long patience that could put up with all his antics. her beautiful face was merely a bonus on everything she has. “you know that i’m not against you of haunting me forever, right?” he questioned, fingers covered with gloves still interlacing with each other on a night so cold as his features had become soft, no mischief lacing his face. it was also the most honest statement he’d said all night or probably their whole span of friendship; a slight hint of his true feelings towards the young lady.
his hazel eyes still fixated on the tiny screen of his camera, completely entranced by the beauty of her not noticing her cheeks flushing, though even if he does, he would have thought that it was just the cold weather. “because i have a great muse.” and he wasn’t lying. there was a photo wall in his room back at their house, pictures full of the one he captured for years. however, one thing you would notice in every part of it; a certain girl he had always has an eye for, and that girl is olivia. hands pulling away from her as it slowly slipped around her waist like couples do while walking around the park, “you think? hmm… probably later tonight so we should probably head back soon, we don’t want to be in a lot of trouble than we already have now for sneaking out of the campus.”
even though he probably hadn’t noticed it at all ( or at least that was what she thought ) hearing him call her ‘love’ made her heart thump louder against her chest and give her the perhaps cliche but all too real butterflies in the stomach. for years, she had managed to supress it, tried to ignore it as much as she could but as they grew up and those feelings didn’t go away, she realized that it was much more than just a childhood crush. she was in love with the boy she knew all her life. perhaps it was a hopeless case; he was handsome, charming, far more outgoing ... he could get anyone he wanted and he didn’t even know how she felt. oh, how she wished he did ... ‘ you haven’t done anything ... yet ... unless we get eaten by a raccoon. ’ she said before letting out a chuckle, giving a shake of her head. she was simply joking, she knew that he’d protect her no matter what but they’d hardly need it here. at his words, she smiled softly, gaze lingering on his face before she finally spoke. ‘ yeah ? if i were a ghost, your side would probably be where i’d reside. ’
his compliment makingher let out a soft sigh and blush even more, she tucked a strand of hair behind her air as they walked, her free hand then moving to rest on his arm. she scooted a bit closer for his warmth, feeling the temperature drop as time passed. ‘ you really think so ? ’ she couldn’t help but ask, his opinion on her had always mattered the most. other boys could be making various comments on her; some to make fun of her and some to flirt with her -- neither she could care about. feeling his arm around her waist, she couldn’t help the huge smile on her face, head almost resting against his shoulder as she cherished the close proximity. ‘ it’d be worth to get into trouble when it’s with you. but yeah, you’re right - we could return to watch some movie, maybe ? it’s been a while since i last made you hot chocolate. ’
“didn’t know that miss olivia astor is afraid of something?” he playfully teased with wide grin circling his features, pulling the jacket back on her for the obvious reason of not wanting her to get sick. it was a cold night after all. his hand slipped on her, intertwining them together as he tugged her around the woods under the night sky, completely forgetting the sole purpose why they were here in the first place. all he wanted was for them to stroll around without eyes watching them. they’d known each other since they were little; grew up together, made stupid things, faces all challenges side by side yet one thing they couldn’t do– mostly alex– to admit their feelings. “we’re safe. don’t worry too much, liv.”
lifting up the camera that was strapped around his neck as he moved in front her, taking a quick shot of his best friend without removing their intertwined hands. his eyes glistening with awe as he stared at the after product from the tiny screen. “you’re beautiful.” he mumbled, shifting his gaze back at the path. “it’s nice out here, isn’t it? even if with the dropping temperature?”
‘ i’m not afraid of anything ! i’m just threatening you. ’ she said, squaring her shoulders to look not as small but more intimidating, though it all looked funny if anything as she was the least scary person around. ‘ i’m saying that if i get eaten by a wild animal, my ghost will forever haunt you and annoy you. ’ when he intertwined their fingers, liv let out a soft sigh at the sight, wishing she could take a picture of it as she’d like to keep the memory. maybe she could make him take a picture of the sight of their hands intertwined together later but for now, he seemed to have interest in capturing her on his camera, which made her giggle and shake her head.
when he commented after looking at the picture, she could feel her cheeks flush red immediately, making her look down for a moment to let it pass, though the pink hue to her cheeks wasn’t going to fade anytime soon. ‘ you’re a great photographer. ’ she turned the compliment around, squeezing his hand gently as she scooted closer to him while they walked. ‘ yeah ... i think it’ll be even more beautiful out here when it gets colder. you think we’ll get snow soon ? ’
@luxorstarters Alek sat quietly across from the other in one of the student lounges. Feet resting freely on the table between then, she was peering into her bag of original Spitz, her hand hovering just at the entrance of the bag as though she were searching for the perfect seed to eat next. Finally choosing one, she reached into the bag before popping it into her mouth. Chewing a few times before shoving it into her cheek, absentmindedly thinking aloud, “think if I eat enough of these I’ll turn into a sunflower?” She said, not removing her eyes from the bag.
sitting on the couch with her legs crossed, she was checking her phone, texting with someone and not paying much attention to her surroundings. so when she heard the other’s voice, clary raised a brow as she couldn’t understand what would that even mean without the context, though as soon as her gaze fell onto the bag she understood what it was about. lifting her shoulders, she lowered her phone a bit to pay better attention to her, head tilted to the side. ‘ you’ll never know if you don’t try. ’ she commented, edges of her lips curling into a small, amused smile. ‘ i’ll make sure to record it if you start transforming. ’
“Perfect, I’m glad you’re here. I need a distraction ASAP.” Ceci finished the plea with a dramatic sigh, returning back to school after a summer and a couple extra months off was proving to be more of a challenge than she thought. It’s like she had no clue what was going on, probably because she nearly went completely MIA over her time away and talked to barely anyone. But even the few people she did talk to were failing to keep her updated on everything that happened on campus in her absence, “I’m like five seconds away from going all Tom Hanks and getting a volleyball named Willson.” Moving over to the person she sat down, “Can we please do something so I don’t go ruin my reputation my first five seconds back on campus?”
‘ oh ---- hey ! ’ liv looked at the other with a friendly smile on her face, surprised to see her after a long time. she wasn’t sure what happened, if anything happened at all or if it was just her taking some time off to herself, but as she was not one to stick her nose into other’s business much. raising her eyebrows at her dramatic sigh, she then listened to her before letting out a chuckle. ‘ okay, now we don’t need you going all tom hanks here. ’ shaking her head, she let the grin linger on her face. ‘ i’ve been bored out of my mind lately, too -- we should definitely do something. i got no idea what but i’m sure we’ll figure out once we get going. ’
‘ are we sure it’s safe out here ? ’ liv questioned, gaze wandering around their surroundings as she took her jacket off so that they could settle on the grass easily. she wasn’t sure how far they were from the busy streets as she rather paid attention to him than the car ride and how long it took to get here and even though they were on a clearing with a clear view of the sky, she could see trees on the surrounding area. ‘ if we get attacked by a wild animal -- like ... a raccoon , i’ll never let you live it down. ’
Is that OLIVIA “LIV” ASTOR? Wow, they do look a lot like VIRGINIA GARDNER. I hear SHE is an EIGHTEEN year old SENIOR who originally attended CARNIFEX Academy. Word is they are an ARISTOCRAT student. You should watch out because they can be STUBBORN and IMPATIENT, but on the bright side they can also be KIND and LOVING. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself.
hey there !! it’s lexi here from the gmt timezone and i’m super excited to be here ! here’s some information on this little bean’s backstory and personality -- i’ll be including some wanted connections at the end so like this or hmu if any of those catch your eye !
CLASS SCHEDULE:
* creative writing / astronomy / yoga / advanced psychology / photography / ballet / business / baking.
( student council / the school paper / ballet )
BACKSTORY:
olivia “liv” astor was born to ronald & victoria astor, a couple who both come from “aristocrat” families.
she had a fairly plain childhood despite having everything available at her feet; her parents were pretty much absent through her childhood and it hasn’t changed much since. her father would always be on business trips and her mother either accompanying him or doing other things on her own.
she had quite some nannies who raised her and to this day, she’s closer to them than her own parents in terms of what she shares with them and how much they know about her.
in middle school, liv basically begged her parents to let her go to england with her best friend alexander to study there and since they would do anything she wanted that could be bought with money instead of actually being there for her, they sent her to study there with the churchills.
once she was finished there, she started to study at carnifex just like her best friend, expanding her friend group for once. she became more social and outgoing and lately she is interested in doing things she hadn’t done before (like partying just like other teenagers did at her age).
PERSONALITY WISE: she’s quite kind and easy-going and especially since she started highschool, she’s been very friendly and a bit more confident. her curious nature recently started to resurface as well. along with that, she can also be stubborn especially if she thinks she’s right about something or she has her opinion set on something. she can also get a bit impatient with certain stuff, given the context.
WANTED CONNECTIONS :
cousins: could be immediate or distant, both on her mother’s or father’s side ! they would also be aristocrats (unless they haven’t fallen from favor or something) but anything else is pretty much utp as long as it works!
childhood friends: she lived here until middle school and returned once it was over so she’s bound to know some people if they had also lived here!
best (gal) friend: she already has a best friend but a girl who she can confide in and be ride-or-die with would be awesome to have!
close friends: either knew them from before or met them when she came back here but one thing’s for sure, they are quite close and do most things together !!
