“Aaand just like that, the confession is gone.” She pouts, “I guess it’s better though, I’d rather not die getting murdered. And if anything, if someone’s gotta kill me, I wouldn’t want it to be you.” Maybe Cormac, if he ever finds out about… well, the whole thing. When he finds out. But that’s besides the point. “I’m sure you do make it fun for them, and I’m sure your bragging is top notch, but still. Wouldn’t you rather be doing other things? Like… exploring the world. I’ve been planning a trip to Rome for a while, you should come!” Nina grins and nods, looking around for a good spot to take a picture in so she can pretend this was her plan all along. Maybe a corner in the back, it would be a lot prettier if this place was organized by color rather than alphabetically but, sure, it’s fine, she’s taken pictures in worse places. “I’m not going to post them now, they’re for back up mostly. In case I ever need to post something and I can’t go out. Ben usually hooks me up with some outtakes for those days, but it won’t kill me having a few more candid shots.” She shrugs and takes the book from his hand, then opens it to flip through the pages. “Do you think people would believe I’m casually reading this? Like… Oh no! I just got caught being an intellectual! Or should I switch the book? Maybe pick a novel?” She sighs, looking around and grabbing Logan’s hand to drag him to the window like he suggested. “Gawking, though? I don’t think Phil looks at my profile all that much anyway, do you think he’d gawk? Isn’t that, like, creepy?” Nina scrunches her nose up and shakes her head. Ew, maybe she should quit. “Here! It’s pretty, you were right about the window. You should try photography, maybe Ben can give you some lessons. Loads of fuckboys on Instagram take a few lessons and call themselves photographers anyway so they can shoot pretty girls in beaches and stuff.”

“What would you do with that confession?” He gasps in (almost) mocking despair, finding it difficult to completely convey that his feelings weren’t a little hurt. Though he did have a fairly fragile ego when it came to her opinion. He bought his shirts in a similar colour to one she once complimented, as far as he knew she could have been joking about that too. “You don’t sound like you believe me --come on I explain things simply, I even found some memes to pair with my explanations. High school kids think I’m hilarious. And yeah sure but I don’t get paid to travel the world, that’d be rad! Why’re you going? Bet you’ll get some awesome photos there, you don’t even have to try to find something cool to stand beside.” His mouth is pulled into a goofy smile when she takes his hand, unable to shove it off his face afterwards. “No I mean like...admire yeah not in a creepy way. But I mean I bet you have followers that do it in a creepy way too.” He nods. “Yeah pick a novel, something girly but intellectual like...Jane Austen or I don’t know what else do girls read?” He raises both brows at her. “You saying I’m a fuckboy?”

“Easy, slugger,” said Jac. “It’s just me.”

Years of playing basketball, football and lacrosse had given Jac thicker skin, meaning that their brief scuffle wasn’t nearly as bad as Logan made it out to be. Sure, the small bump had loosened Jac’s grip on his phone, but he was fortunate to step away otherwise unscathed. “You should be more careful, bro. If I didn’t have all these muscles, you’d have wiped me out.”

“Ah shit, I didn’t even see you there dude.” He realizes that his surprise does manage to stop his apology, which previously was wiggling out of his lips. “Sorry though, really I didn’t mean to take you out like that --or make it look like I’m taking you out. I only do that on purpose on the field, I swear.” And now he won’t stop talking about himself, figures. “What’re you doing here? You’re not my next student are you?”

Denna chuckles, as the poor kid just gets up and leaves, seemingly a bit confused about the whole situation. This is normal for them, though, joking around this way. “You’re already a loser.”, she sticks out her tongue at him. He’s not, obviously, but she enjoyes teasing him. “Fine, fine, I won’t tell. But you’ll have to take me to Asphodel and buy me a huge caramel machiatto with two of those chocolate covered strawberry jelly donuts I love so much, otherwise the deal is off.” Besides it’s been a while since they’ve last hanged out in a non partying setting - and the fact that Nina will be surely at the café when they go won’t hurt either. 

“I had sort of a fight with a teacher, and he basically threatened me with suspension if I don’t email him this essay I asked an extension for. So now I’m trying to finish it desperately. That’s my sad story. What about you?”

“Hey!” He acts offended for a second, hand on his chest and all but ends up laughing. He knows she could never mean that, and was way too nice to actually call him a loser. Harvey would have been much better at it, or at least told her to call him a sissy or something if he was going to use her to spread on the message. “Okay you’ve got a deal.” He points right at her like they’re on a game show. “I’ll even get you all of the strawberry jelly donuts they have --but I also don’t want to make Nina carry them all over to you so, two’s fine maybe three if you skip lunch.” Like he’d be able to go a conversation without mentioning her. 

“Damn! Who was it? I bet I could find out something about them and you can get them back, I’ve got a couple profs that like me. What’s the essay on?” He leans against the book case slightly. “I’m tutoring here today, thought it’d be better than a big scary university classroom. And it’s summer kids shouldn’t be that stressed.”

“It’s fine, you’d be surprised with how many times people wack me with books around here. Some students are like zombies,” Thea picks up a book from the ground and puts it back in its place. Days like this one when there actually was people in the library were so annoying, she has to clean around and make sure the place doesn’t look like a mess when all she wants to do is scroll through Youtube and smoke some weed. Do these kids not know of the internet or something? Why do they need the public library when Wikipedia exists? “Classes again? Don’t these kids have teachers?”

“Shit --like on purpose? That’s not cool, there’s some real heavy ones here they could take you out!” Suddenly his thoughts start darting around, imagining student-like assassins using books as their chosen weapon, knocking over the shelves as barriers. “But I mean good place to be in the apocalypse, look at all the places to hide.” And that is not on topic at all, he just realizes she’s asking him something. “Yeah, yeah they do but since it’s summer their parents are paying me instead to make them smarter. Usually ‘cause they screwed up last year or something.” He shrugs. “What’re you doing?”

“Ah finally, a confession! You would kill me, then. Too bad I didn’t record it otherwise I could’ve taken that directly to the cops,” she shakes her head and sighs, then realizes what she said and stops joking, “I wouldn’t, though, I mean– I don’t want you to get in more near death situations than you already do. I mean, okay, maybe death is a bit much but, you know.” She’d know about getting cops catching you in the middle of a series of bad decisions anyway, all her other friends know better not to get themselves in trouble like that, but Logan is… well, Logan. “I don’t know how you don’t get bored of this place. Or teaching those kids the same thing over and over,” Nina shrugs, avoiding to look at him at first. “Of course someone’s covering for me.” As much as having one of the new kids sit there saying their system is down and offering free samples can be called covering. “I just figured… I could get a few cute pictures around here. I’ll be back in a bit, they won’t even realize I haven’t been there. Wanna help me out?”

“No, no, no. That doesn’t mean I’ll kill you it means I wouldn’t kill you with a book.” As he repeated himself he hears the problem with his chosen words, pausing with his mouth open at the realization. In an attempt to make it look like he knew what speech implications were, he keeps talking. “I mean not that I’d kill you with anything else on purpose --just to be clear.” He tries to brush it off with a chuckle, again not one of his best decisions. Her presence made him flighty.  “Hey, I make it fun. And I’m helping out the high school kids in the summer so it’s so much easier to explain. Most of it’s memorization though, so I get to brag about all my cool tricks.” He genuinely laughs that time. “Won’t they notice the pictures? Not that it’ll matter they’ll be too busy gawking. I’ve never seen you take a bad photo in your life. --Yeah definitely I have some time before my next sad kid shows up. What were you thinking? All studious by the shelves, or pretending you’re reading by the window?”

Ben could barely react. Next thing he knew, he was landing on the library’s floor, his pile of books flying everywhere. It was also his fault if he thought about it. He hadn’t really been looking where he was going. He had to blink a couple times before noticing who exactly was talking to him. It was Logan. He didn’t really know much about him. He did know his brother, and he had heard Nina talking about him countless times; but that was all. He seemed like a cool guy, though. As cool as any spoiled rich kid could be. 

“No worries.”, he replied, shaking his head and standing up. “I wasn’t really focused on where I was going. The books were pretty much covering everything. Hopefully nothing’s broken.”

“Broken? Are you kidding? There’s no way I could have knocked you with that book hard enough while trying to break your nose.” He holds his hands up in defense. “I-mean not that I would ever test that theory on you or anything or try to break your bones.” He decides to shut his mouth before this guy (who he had admittedly had only heard about through Nina) thinks he’s a huge prick right off the bat. 

“Glad you’re good though. You’re --Ben right?” Damn he hoped he didn’t get that wrong.

She’s lucky not to fall on the floor completely, but once the initial startle is over, she chuckles, shaking her head. “No worries. It wasn’t too bad. You’ve got a mean left, though. Are you on the basketball team or something? Because you should be.” she extends her hand, leaving the book she has just picked up momentarily on the shelf. “Amanda Souza. You might know my dad, he’s a history teacher at MWU. Pleased to meet you, even if you tried to take me out.”

He can’t help but laugh, the idea of him running around shooting hoops like the frat guys a ridiculous concept. Not because he couldn’t physically mold into the archetype easily enough, but because he didn’t believe he could pull it off. “Naw’ I’m on the lacrosse team though, not as glamorous.” He shrugs, though his dismissive demeanor changes as she mentions her name. “Oh, yeah! I totally do, he taught my Elizabethan England course last semester. Let us take two breaks, real class act. Wait --no I didn’t try to take you out don’t go telling your dad that. I’m Logan, Parrish.” He holds out his hand. “My dad’s in insurance, in the city so slim chances you’ve met him never mind.”

Denna has been sitting in front of her laptop for so many hours she barely remembers what time even means. With the article about the party over and done with, and her fleeting fame also practically forgotten, she now has to email her last assignment of the semester to her teacher - the same teacher who had threatened her with suspension if she didn’t. Needless to say, she can feel the pressure, and that doesn’t really help inspiration arrive. The noise, however, snaps her out of her trance and she immediately walks towards the place of the scandal. The scene in front of her brings out a soft chuckle. 

“Really, Logan? You’re knocking innocent people at the library out now? Your brother is going to hear about this, and he’s going to make that frowny face he always does.”

And he didn’t realize there was someone else there ready to watch him fuck up. After profusely apologizing to the poor guy he knocked over, he turns to Denna lush with embarrassment. There were already red splotches coming up on his cheeks. “No, no don’t tell him then he’ll make my mom think that I go around pushing kids when I’m not at home instead of going to work or something. You’ll make me a loser, please I beg you!” He jokes, but really is behind his statement. “I’ll get you a coffee or something as payment?” 

“What are you doing cooped up in here anyway? It’s great outside.”

“Pretty sure you were, that’s so rude of you by the way.” Nina puts a hand on her head dramatically, then laughs it off. Apparently the odds of running into people she knows in this place are way bigger than she initially calculated, but at least she wasn’t stupid enough to try to convince Jack to come to the back of the library with her. So… that’s good. “Shouldn’t you be, like, back in there in one of the classrooms or something?” she points in the general direction of the university’s campus, shrugging. “Before you say anything, yes I should be at the shop. Someone’s covering for me, shush.”

“How dare you assume that about me, I wouldn’t give you death by book.” His words come out just as dramatic, elongated vowels as he gets closer to the end of the sentence. He didn’t expect to find her here, though that was just judging by the bored face she makes when he mentions a book he’s read for class. “Not today naw’ I decided to hold sessions here today. It’s better than sitting in the empty classrooms. Plus there’s a vending machine in the hall!” He chuckles, suddenly doubting her. “Is someone covering for you?”

mount wells’ public library  // june 18th // 4:07pm // open

He’s minding his own business for the most part, just having finished with a student and waiting around an hour for the next one. During the year he liked to hold tutoring sessions on the MWU campus, but in the summer kids didn’t need that kind of intimidation. So he moved to the library, less scary and definitely not filled with stressed out university kids working through the hot months. He’s up going through the shelves of books when he abruptly turns around, assuming no one else would be inside on a day like this. This ends in smacking into the other person, harder than someone should by accident. 

“Ah fuck! I’m sorry, wasn’t trying to take you out I swear. Didn’t bruise anything did I?”

( trait time )

Optimistic // Logan is definitely not the guy groaning in the corner of the room sulking for any reason. Not to say that he never gets upset, but he is the one that will bring up the positive side, or compliment when he thinks someone he likes is feeling down. That’s actually his secret to picking up women, a genuine compliment.

Easy-Going // If there’s something a friend wants to do, Logan will most likely be the first to jump on it even if he is not 100% into the idea. He takes any excuse to have a good time, which is usually why he is the one inviting people out to things.

 Honest // Logan can be blunt at times, but it is never out of a negative emotion. Sometimes he just says too much without thinking and (sometimes) ends up insulting someone when really he was only trying to help out.

 Naive // Logan is in short, an idiot when he is not at school. Simple things confuse him sometimes, he’s always looking to others for guidance and he is unsure of what he really wants. This makes him super easy to manipulate or get to do favors if it’s presented to him in an optimistic way.

 Passive // Logan is still very much attached to being a smaller version of Harvey (who also happens to make terrible decisions) so he is not usually taking charge especially when it comes to his own life. He only has his job because it was suggested, his major because Harvey thought it would be a good idea, and his friends because they are ridiculously loud at the gym. Maybe one day he will grow out of that.

Arrogant // Even though he does spend a lot of time doing positive things, trying to work on himself, and balance it with a strong dose of fun. The fact that he has been doing it successfully for a while does certainly go to his head. Especially now that he is finally coming into his looks, spending more time at the gym, and learning the proper way to use his weirdly optimistic charm.
