𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, the carnival; event 002. 𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝, open; @classcursestarters .
despite everything going on, luciana was doing a great job of ignoring all the outside noise. then again, that was something the girl was 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐘 used to. a way of living that came natural to the girl. ⏤ smiling, playing into the cutesy vibe she constantly tried to give off. ❛ i swear, that whole myth about the balls being over pumped with air or not having enough air in them so it's harder to make the shots has to be true. ❜ she laughed, her sorry 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐔𝐒𝐄 for missing every single shot at the carnival basketball game she had failed with flying colors.
setting: the carnival, across from the popcorn stand @classcursestarters
in retrospect, she really should have just decided against running the face painting table this year. the fact that they'd moved it to right across from the popcorn stand, across from where he used to be, should have been the final blow, but the truth was that it was easy money and zahra had bills to pay. adjusting her skirt as she shifts on her stool, butterfly wings painted on her face, zahra spots someone familiar. "did you see that they got rid of the chair-o-planes?" it's not one of the many questions that she'd really like to ask (why his shoes? who's sending the messages?), but it'll do for now.
❛ seriously, a travesty ! ❜ luciana replied. although, she had a better sense of her friend to know that zahra wasn't as invested in the chair - o - planes. luciana was still a bit detached from everything going on. her brain putting up the 𝐃𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐒 to try and protect herself. ( to continue living in her own delusion. ) something the two best friends may have reached a bit of common ground on. spiraling in their own delusions or twisted truths to try and either protect themselves or try and 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃 something in their lives. ❛ it's a classic, a real cash grab. ❜ moving closer to the other girl, luciana looped her arm with zahra's, dropping her head to rest on her shoulder. ❛ take a little break from face painting and come walk around with me a little ? ❜ she asked, glancing over at the girl. knowing that it couldn't have been helping to stand there staring at chris wilder's old carnival work spot.
setting: event 3: the carnival tagged: @classcursestarters
Arjun stopped in his tracks as soon as he'd walked into the carnival, taking it all in and feeling a wave of nostalgia for this town he hadn't felt since arriving. It had been so easy to put a wall up between Lincoln City and who he was now. It was still there, obviously, but there was also a childlike wonder clawing it's way over the top. "I don't think I've been to a carnival in...fuck, it's been over a decade. I didn't realize they still did this here."
luciana hadn't planned on staying in town for longer than the disastrous reunion but she also 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 completely against it. she wasn't trying to run away from anything. if anything, luciana had detached herself from everything going on. so much so, that she 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃𝐍'𝐓 fully process everything they were going through. the real reasons she was stuck in lincoln city. ⏤ nevertheless, ( here they all were. ) a smile pulling at the corners of her lips as she looked over at the male. ❛ it's like we're kids again. carnival rides and cotton candy at our fingertips. ❜ luciana said with a smile, a small scrunch of her nose to follow. ❛ so, what do you say ? want some cotton candy ? an ice cream ? it's on me. ❜
@lucisaphira
" won't you go on one ride with me ? i know that you want to . "
❛ what do you want, nick ? ❜ she asked , brown eyes meeting his. sure , the answer to that question was that he wanted to ride a ride with her but luciana knew better. or at least, that was all the credit she could give nick. she thought there 𝐇𝐀𝐃 to be something going on in the males head for him to quote, unquote ( waste ) his time on her. ❛ couldn't find anyone better to pass some time with ? ❜

maybe it was a sense of detachment ? or feeling desensitized by the whole situation ? then again , it could've been a bit of both ? luciana had grown up her entire life with everything around her crumbling down . her family was dysfunctional at best and traumatizing at worst . everyone pushing down or throwing a smile on their faces and acting like the whole world wasn't on fire was quite normal for the saphira's . so perhaps , there was something about all of this that wasn't processing for the girl . simply just more weight that was getting placed on her shoulders . ( more things for her to just grin and bear it about . ) that being said , as well as luciana was when it came to letting things roll of her shoulders when it was harder to deal with . . . it really was just a defense mechanism . luciana falling more on the spectrum of someone that was very sensitive to things . that would eventually let everything eat away at her . but she was also the type that would ignore and avoid , in her own way . sometimes without even realizing she was doing it . feeling as though she genuinely didn't feel anything about it . that she was desensitized to it . until , there was a day where she'd explode and everything would come out in a much uglier fashion . something that most didn't witness when experiencing the company of luciana who was sure to put off the most perfect and beautiful package she could muster up .

the one good thing to come out of this reunion was having luci back, for however long that may be. with all of the chaos of the past few days, zahra's grateful for the things that a video call can't provide, like being able to lay on the too-soft couch in her eclectic apartment together. "you already know my favorite," she responds with a playful tilt of her lips, elbow propped up on an almost obscenely orange throw pillow. as michael's name passes luci's lips, the brunette lets out an exaggerated groan. "gods, no, luci. anyone but saint michael," she whines, as if she hadn't slept with him following the messy end of things with peter.
being back and having zahra in person , it really did make a difference . there was 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 better than spending every waking moment with the girl . both of them crossing their arms and pouting whenever luciana had to leave again . as much as she wanted to 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘 in lincoln city with her best friend . . . she had a life in new york . she had built a career for herself . that being said , the certain someone luci knew zahra was talking about was someone she had decided to drop her life in new york for and stay in lincoln city . that was until it came to a sad and heartbreaking close . a small sigh fell from the girls lips as she looked at zahra . ❛ how is he ? have you spoken to him ? ❜ luci asked , it being 𝐎𝐁𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒 that she still cared deeply about the male in question . ❛ i don't know ? he can't be that bad right ? i mean , michael . ❜ she asked , switching subjects . ❛ never - mind boys , how are you ? with everything going on , are you okay ? ❜ or as okay as any of the class of 2014 could be .
It was horrible, the sudden feeling that washed over him, the thought that they were strangers. At the root of it, they were now, weren't they? But could you ever really be strangers when you had given someone so much of yourself to them? In some way, wouldn't a part of him always belong to her, no matter how much he tried to take it back? No matter how much she didn't want it? "It's... a lot, huh?" The hint was enough, his eyes shifting as he tried not to stare at her too long or too little, his gaze aching to linger, to memorize all of the parts of her face he may have forgotten. "How have you been?" As he asked it, Hollis realized he wasn't sure which answer would hurt the most. He wanted her to do good, to be okay without him, of course he did, he cared about her — but, fuck, if the most selfish part of him didn't hate the idea that she had moved on, that she no longer missed him, needed him at all.
in reality , luciana 𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐍'𝐓 moved on from hollis . he had been her most stable relationship . something so real , it made her heart ache . he wasn't just a fling or someone that used her and spit her back out . there wasn't a deep seeded toxic - ness to their relationship . . . they were simply in love . . . but just like that 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 came crashing down beneath their feet . as hard as luciana tried to hold their relationship together , she couldn't . her actually being the one to come to the conclusion that they had to break up and she had to go back to her life in new york . that being said , it didn't make it any easier seeing him . it didn't make it any easier getting over him , ( obviously . ) because look at her now . . . not over him in even the slightest of ways . instead , convincing herself that she was 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐓 to live in her heartbreak when it came to hollis gibbs . ❛ it is and⏤ ❜ she began , eyes darting up at him . ❛ are you okay ? with everything going on ? ❜ not that she believed he'd open up to her about how he was feeling . knowing hollis had a difficult time when it came to the 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐍 he was holding onto . ❛ great , i've been great . ❜ she answered a little too quickly . maybe in a way to 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄 herself . the words that were followed by a soft smile as she looked down at the ground before looking at him once again . ❛ would it be weird if i asked for a hug ? ❜
His mind has been on the interview for most of the night, knowing he put on his best performance but there was a reason he was selected... Wasn't there? He leans against the bar, raising the shot of whiskey up to his lips, drinking it down in one swift motion. All he knows was he promised Kai all those years ago the two of them would always have each other's back. Hell, there were times through their lives where they ended up in the same town and would crash together or if one ended up where the other was living, they'd still crash . Nothing would ever change the friendship he had with the man who has been apart of his life for decades. He places the shot glass down, picking up the half empty beer bottle he had. He stumbles slightly over tin the direction of the bathroom... Almost missing her until he feels slim fingers on his shoulder. His head turns to look at the brunette, blinking a few times.
It's being back in high school all over again, the secret meet ups and the making out wherever they could find. Sometimes he wonders if he had put more heart into what they were if something could have blossomed between them. Dare night wasn't the only regret he had back then. He drifts his gaze to the bottle then to her. Was it a good idea to keep her company? To potentially jump back into what they were back in the day... What was the harm? It's not like they were the same people that they were back then. He could have some self control when it came to Luci, right? "Yeah," he nods. "Do you want to get out of here?"

entertaining time with rhys could be innocent . . . or it could be a horrible idea . there really wasn't any in between but luciana couldn't help but 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 to spend time with the blonde when seeing him again . things could be different now , they were much older , wiser . . . or at least , that's what luciana told herself . that she wasn't just as 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 to throw herself into a situation that would end up hurting her all over again . luci never one to be able to handle casual . . . even if that's where she usually landed on people's radars . the casual hookup , the casual person to distract one from their own mind . . . the casual fun to pass some time . meanwhile , all those years ago , she wanted something more from rhys but alas , like everything in her life . that's 𝐍𝐎𝐓 how things went . nothing ever went according to the delusions that she built in her own head .
❛ i'd love to , ❜ she accepted the offer as she stood up , hand still on his arm as she came to her feet . eyes wandering up to focus in on his . ❛ come on , you look like you need a distraction . ❜ keeping the bottle in one hand , she stuffed it into her purse before letting the hand on his arm slid down to his hand . gripping onto him , she pulled rhys through the crowd as she headed to the door . as they got outside , she continued to pull him over to the side of the building before stopping and facing him . head tilting to the side slightly as she looked up at him . ❛ tell me rhys , what's going on in that head of yours ? ❜ she questioned , a soft smile across her lips as her hand slowly fell from his . not taking anything too seriously , trying to be what she always was . . . light and easy . ❛ you look good . ❜

in high school, elise got along with a large amount of people. she didn't really hold grudges, unless someone did something unforgivable. but for some reason, she never got along with luci. a more self aware person would deduce it was because luci and elise were very similar. too alike, in fact, that it was like looking through a mirror and being confronted with all of your positive and negative characteristics, constantly. everything elise didn't like about luci was something she didn't like about herself. but elise was not that self aware, so instead she just chalked it up as something being off with luci. elise just... didn't like her. so when she walked up to one of her tables during her shift and saw that luci was seated there, it took everything in elise not to curse out loud. "luci... hey." a fake smile was forced on her face. "i didn't realize you were back in town." maybe she would have seen her if she had gone to the alumni event, but elise couldn't get a sitter for the night, and her gran had just started taking med for her hip, which was knocking her out pretty early into the night.
luciana felt the 𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐂𝐓 same way about elise . there was something about her that luci couldn't stand . . . and most of that had to do with the fact that everything about elise that luciana couldn't stand were things she couldn't stand about herself . things she didn't want to admit to herself that she was . . . or even things she knew she was but she wasn't 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 to look at in the mirror . in a lot of ways , as much as elise would drive her insane by just being around her . . . she also felt like she wanted to grab the others shoulders and shake . tell her that she was going about 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 completely wrong . that she had to get out while she was ahead . but the point was , elise and luciana just simply had a lot in common . one didn't learn from the other , it wasn't anyone's job to try and save them from themselves . . . so all they could do was watch the other and bite their tongue .
a smile , just as fake as elise's pulled at the raven haired girls lips as she looked up at the girl . ❛ elise , ❜ continuing to hold the smile on her face . manicured fingers tapped against the menu in front of her . ❛ couldn't stay away . most of us couldn't , right ? ❜ she questioned , an eyebrow raising at the girl before it was replaced with another smile . ( just as fake as the first . ) ❛ can i get the salad special ? ❜ luci asked , holding the menu back out towards the girl . ❛ you should come sit . we can catch up . i'm sure your boss would understand catching up with an old friend . ❜
vincent atwood swore that there would never be a day that went by in his life that he didn't think about his SUCCESSES. he wasn't one to wallow in self-pity, or criticize himself, mainly because he thought he was practically untouchable but . . . primarily because, his life was filled with so many distractions that came as a direct result of his victories that he didn't have TIME to do any of those things. being back in his hometown, back where his roots had at one point in time been planted, now vincent had too much time. way too much time. jogging down the sidewalk, vincent pushed his weight into his feet, his teeshirt twisted and slung across his shoulders like a sweat rag, music blasting in his ears as his heart pounded so hard he could feel its pulse on his tongue. vincent was trying to find that distraction, that quiet — the inability to see his wrongs over his rights, but with everything about chris coming to the surface, it was natural for a man to panic that secrets he had kept trapped behind a pearly smile with lock and key were now about to be forced from him ( not if he could help it. he'd take as many of his hidden truths to his grave as he could ) . . . a familiar figure came into his peripheral, capturing his attention, and vince squinted at them, bringing his run to a slow jog. luciana. . . . huh. pulling off his headset to rest around his neck, vincent cocked his head at her, catching his breath as he put his hands on bare hips, torso gleaming with a thin veil of sweat. ❛ huh ?? ❜ he inquired, cocking his head, looking between her and her car. ohhhh. ❛ shit, luci. . . you ?? being desperate ?? some things really never change. ❜ shaking his head, vince moved from the sidewalk towards her, dragging the back of his hand across his forehead; ❛ sure, princess, i can help you. you got a spare, right ?? ❜
most would probably find vince's comment a little offensive . being called desperate wasn't exactly what 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐄 wanted to hear about themselves . but luci . . . she purposely put herself into positions where she would come off as the 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐒𝐄𝐋 . she wanted some white knight to come running over to save her . as sweet and pure as the girl seemed . . . she had her streak of insanity . ( but that wasn't something spoken about . ) something that was 𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐃 far and deep inside of her . unable to pry open unless she finally exploded and that wasn't something a pure girl did . she didn't explode . ⏤ so no , luciana didn't take 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄 to vince's words . if anything , she let a soft smile spread across her lips as he made his way closer to her . as much as she hated what vince did to her in the past . . . playing her in the way he did . she couldn't help herself from vying for his attention , even with the years between them all now . ❛ i should've paid more attention when my father tried to teach me how to change a tire . ❜ words came out soft and sweetly . despite the fact that her father had 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 dared to teach her anything other than throwing money at any and every situation . ( but she was better than her parents , ) wasn't she ? ❛ i do , ❜ she replied as she unlocked the truck and walked over to open it . leaning against the side of the car shortly after as she looked at the male . ❛ i don't know how i'll ever be able to repay you . ❜

sitting in the park with her latte in hand , luci watched as the waves lightly crashed against themselves from the distance . the slight wind , hitting against the waters . there was something 𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐋 about it . . . even if all of the class of 2014 possibly had an aversion to water or at least any body of water that existed in the confines of lincoln city , oregon . luciana 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍'𝐓 feel that aversion . . . maybe she should've . . . but she didn't . not even in the slightest . brown eyes moved away from the water as she glanced over and spotted river . luciana didn't really know river all that well but after seeing him at the train wreck of a reunion , she couldn't help but find herself a bit 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒 about the male . a smile immediately pulling at her lips , ( as if clockwork , ) when river made his way past . stopping him along the way . ❛ river ! ❜ she hopped up from the bench and made her way over to him . ❛ oh my gosh ! funny seeing you here ! ❜ as if seeing someone in a very public and traffic heavy spot was 𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐄 to see someone else in . but that was luci , always keeping that bubbly and over - excited seeming way about her . ( even if that wasn't how she always felt inside . )
taking the time to just ... be a girl with luci is exactly what stella needed, and the blonde realizes this as she glances at the raven haired girl, pink painted lips curving into a grin as she lets out a soft giggle. "i think you have to have it. i'm serious, if you don't buy it for yourself, i'm buying it for you." slender hands reach out to gently brush some hair out of luci's face, shaping it to fall against the curve of her jawline and curtain her brows just so. "beautiful," stella informs luciana, before stepping back to admire her own work, before shrugging. "honestly? barbie. we deserve a barbie who looks like you anyway. it probably would've held me back from bleaching my hair just a litle bit longer." and now stella is attached to the golden glow of her hair, so there'll be no going back on it now.
a smile pulled at the girls lips as stella fixed her hair . hands coming up to cup at the bottom of her chin as if she was a perfect little princess . or , that's what she was going for , at least . a lean of her head as she tilted it to the side . ❛ well with that boost to my ego , i'm going to have to buy them . ❜ pulling the sunglasses up to rest on top of her head . luciana practically skipped forward before looping her arm with stella's . ❛ well , i love your hair blonde . it suits you . ❜ a continued smile on her lips before walking with her in the direction of the cash register . ❛ we should go get a cocktail ! have some girl talk . catch me up on any new people in your life . ❜

as much as luciana didn't want the title of the girl that managed to have the 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐓 luck when it came to men and relationships . . . she wasn't doing the best job of dropping that title . she never had been . . . always wanting the happily ever after and only ever being the fling or the momentarily shinny thing . really only ever having two actual relationships that didn't last all of two seconds or burn out before they could 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 become anything at all . although . . . did what she have with tae count as one of those two actual relationships . ( even if it had crashed and burned , ) she'd like to think it counted . although , it was hard for the girl to know what was 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 and what was just a man passing the time when it came to her . her always allowing herself to be used in hopes it would be 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 that meant something . that she'd mean something . the thought crossing her mind as she spotted him from a distance . unsure if she should make her way over and say hello . . . or pretend she didn't see him at all and continue on with her day . unable to really allow herself to come off as rude , luciana made her way over to the male . the chance that he'd spotted her as well and he'd know she ran for the hills 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 an option . ❛ funny seeing you here , ❜ she tried to stay light , come up with her defenses down . but that was luci , wasn't it ? with all the choas going on around her and them , she would still do her best to stay light . ( to stay digestible . )
if there was one thing that you could be sure of , it was that if nick found something entertaining then he would press on . he wasn't deterred by disinterest like some and with luciana , he felt that deep down she was the opposite of disinterested . she was the opposite of passive , sweet , angelic , all the things she wanted the world to see . he liked wicked women , for a season . he liked good girls , for a few moments … it was anyone that was more complex , that had another hidden side that he latched onto , wanted to sink his teeth into . into their flesh . into their soul . " if you keep talking like that then you're going to do me a grave injury , " he claims , literate to the core when he wanted to be , charming and unassuming when he needed to be but it was all just a play , a ploy . there were people around them , the normal passers by , coming and going , engaging in every day life without a clue about the intricate growing webs around them threatening to compromise the very foundation of lincoln city . but if nick was to be compromised , he would have to compromise someone else along the way … he is standing upright when he reaches out . " why don't you let me carry some of those bags ? they look far too heavy for such a fragile , little angel , " his voice trickles , velvety and pretty prose , the kind that could wrap up the naive . he's reaching out , knowing that she wouldn't reject him in such a public place - no , that wouldn't be very polite at all . " i'm in such a good mood … i can even give you a ride … unless you don't think i'm worthy of your company , " all of it tainted , each word a commitment to whatever devilish idea was forming in his mind . but , he would deliver her safe and sound ; that was a guarantee .
❛ oh please , i'm sure there's a million other girls that are thrilled to see you . your ego can handle it . ❜ the thing about luciana when it came to nick was that there were moments she felt she held strong . a different kind of rejection that she didn't hold to most that gave her the time of day . but there were other times where he held a grasp so tight around her , she couldn't help but be 𝐏𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃 into whatever the male had twisting about in his head . luciana was a good girl , she was kind - hearted and sweet . someone that'd flash a smile in even the darkest of times . ( or at least , that's what she wanted to be . ) a desperate need to be whoever she felt she was 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐃 to . to be the person that people wanted to be around . to be someone's beacon of light . . . although , luci never was and never would be that to anyone . something always slightly unaligned for the girl . always the stop along the way and never the actual destination . it seemed the more she longed for things , the harder it was for her to 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 grasp onto anything at all . not without trying , of course . always holding on for dear life but it never being enough . then there was nick , someone who she wanted to run from . was it because she knew he was trouble ? and what good girl wanted trouble ? or was it because she knew he was trouble and there was a part of her that wanted to be tossed into whatever fire he was building ? ⏤ as much as she wanted to deny the offer and tell nick to get away from her . . . she couldn't act so . . . 𝐔𝐍𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 in front of all the people passing by in the mall . ❛ fine , ❜ an almost unamused tone but it was followed with a smile as she stepped forward and began to hand the bags over . eyes moving upwards as she caught his gaze before they fell ever so slightly to the other features of his face . ( a girl couldn't help but admire . . . ) even if she didn't want to . letting go of the bags , she nodded a bit before stepping back . not wanting to get sucked into whatever it was nick had over her even all these years later . ❛ we wouldn't want to ruin a good mood , would we ? ❜ continuing to smile , she told herself she was 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 agreeing to go with him because she was nice , kind , sweet . but they both knew , there was a part of her that was curious .
