Honor was always the designated driver when it came to parties in high school. The only times she would drink were when her sister threw a party while their parents were gone, which was next to never. So Honor never really got the chance to build up a…tolerance. She walks around with two cups in her hands and slowly sips from both of them. “Hey,” she says as she walks over to someone. “Can you pretty please hold one of my drinks for me while I answer one of the three thousand texts I just got? I can feel my phone going off and it’s torture.” She holds out one of her cups.

                    “ Sana all may phone. “    Matt mutters under his breath even if the other probably wouldn’t understand even if he says it out loud. He would always be bitter about not having a phone really to communicate with everyone he loves but he did his best to have some fun. He gives her a smile and takes one of the drinks.   “ I mean, sure, yeah, I’ll hold it for you. Or I can hold both so you can finish answering your texts faster. “

– “OKAY, MATT, YOU HAVE A POINT…WE COULD TOTALLY GIVE THEM A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY.” she beams in his direction, and there’s a lot that’s unstated. allie and matt have always gotten along, always happy to spend late nights in the kitchen joking around, but now she needs his company more than ever. she’s pretty sure that matt knows that she bakes more frequently to relieve stress anyway – he’d spent so much time cheering her up last year when she and hudson fell out, and…now she wants to be here for him, too. in all the ways that he’s there for her. allie pouts playfully in response to the way he chuckles, but it makes her giggle too, blinking excessively to get any of the dust out of her eyes. her heart softens at the way matt calls her ‘angel,’ falling silent at the gentle movements of his hands, and it occurs to her that he’s more than she deserves. “ what ? ” she wrinkles her nose at him, “ don’t say it like that, now i KNOW i look like a whole mess. ” 

                    “ Of course, I think we have enough experience with collaborative baking to have our own show. “     Just the idea of them baking was a good way relief the stress. Although, not to say he doesn’t enjoy her company in any other times. She was just there through the highs and the lows.     “ What? “    He retorts back, still chuckling and swiping off the flour off her cheeks and then goes to dust off the flour off his eyes.    “ I mean, this is messy. “    He teases as he continues to dust off his face. Matt could only sigh at the sigh of her smiling.    “But you always look beautiful. Messy or not. “

                   ROOFTOP, 8:15PM   ---    Matt had way too many fried chicken and when he’s too full, the need to bum a cigarette had been strong. The abandoned chapel seems like a long walk to go so the rooftop was the best option for him.    “ Fancy meeting you here. “    He says as she spots the French woman. He takes a sit besides her and pulls out a cigarette from it’s pack.    “ Have you eaten yet? “   ///     @vgdemy​

“Come on, isn’t Georgetown like that as well?” She asked, quirking an eyebrow at Matt. They couldn’t be saints over there, why were they expecting them to be well behaved here as well? Hadn’t they seen enough parties at Gallagher to know these kids also liked to have fun at the expense of some substances? “I’m sure if you ask in the dorms, there will be a dealer per floor. So why would it be any different here?” She challenged his idea, then broke into a little laugh. 

Ella took that failed attempt of a hit, feeling like her chest was burning for a few seconds later. “Really?” Her voice was still strained, a couple more coughs and she felt like she could breathe properly. “What happened on your first time? I’m sorry, it’s kind of a little hard to imagine something worse than what I just did.” Ella laughed at her own expense. “Why do people even like doing this?” She questioned, but either way, took the blunt from him and took a second hit, one a little less deep, a little slower this time. Alright, it wasn’t this bad. Only a little burn. She could handle that. “I’ll take your word for it. How long does it take to hit?”

                    Matt shrugs.    “ Yeah but Gallagher just hits differently. “     Sure, in one way or another, Georgetown has that elite status as what people would like to describe it, same with Gallagher. But stepping into Gallagher is just stepping into a whole new dimension. No one knows about it. Matt would sure know.    “ In Georgetown, you can go out as you please. How do people get things they want to get is just beyond me. We can’t even get UberEats here, you know. “

                   He couldn’t help but walked down the memory of his first hit, making him laugh louder.     “ Really. I cough my lungs out when i did it. I thought it be similar to smoking cigarettes you know so I hit too hard. “     He shakes his head, laughing. Maybe, it’s finally hitting him.    “ I think, you’ll know when it finally hits you. “    For Matt, it makes him forget things or he could/ Or things gets lighter. Everything is a joke.    “ The trip is different for each people to be honest. “

                     ABANDONED CHAPEL, 06:45PM -    “ You know, they said there is actually a ghost haunting this grounds. “    He teases even if he knows Luce doesn’t really fear anything. He thought the phone calls granted to them was enough but the more he talks to his family, the  more he misses his family, the more he becomes more stressed. He fishes out a blunt from his chest pocket, opening his palm to show her.    “ You think this will help to see the said ghost? “   //   @lucefrs​

                   “ And I like to bullshit my way through things. You’re on point. “       Matt tends to just wing things, for sure. Matt thinks maybe they would get away with it, definitely a way to make up for keeping them in the dark. He wants to risk it all too but he didn’t want to encourage something that would possibly put them all in danger. He shrugged at her question.    “ I’m not sure. Not me. I mean, I wouldn’t know. Maybe Luce? “

   A new episode was starting and Jake was already laughing out loud. It was his favorite cartoon for several reasons, some of which he couldn’t go out talking about out loud. His attention was outdrawn to the boy’s voice, he seemed to have just arrived. Jake was glad to know that someone else had already seen the cartoon, even if it was in another language. “Really, what language are you used to?” He wondered giving space on the comfortable sofa so that the other could sit next to him. “For sure, I can search for a caption, or you can try to see it like this, I do it sometimes, when I have to learn another language. It’s a trick.”

              “ Filipino. They like dubbing a lot of cartoons and anime in our language---Inuyasha, Dragonballs, HunterXHunter...I mean, you probably haven’t heard of them. They also dubbed Koreanovelas too. It’s wild. “     She gushes before springing over the backrest, landing on his butt next to him. He could’ve just sat like a normal person but since they are watching Jackie Chan adventures, he felt it was necessary.      “ Nah. I’m good. “    He went silent for a moment as he studied what was showing on the television.     “ I think this is a new episode. “

– MATT ALWAYS SEEMS TO GET HER — whether it’s sensing the slightest cadence of her mood or knowing just what to say, he understands. she’s not sure whether they simply click naturally or they just pay close attention to each other, but either way, it works. his smile works, and she feels safer – better, like none of that stuff from earlier in the day matters, because they have cookies to bake, a job to do. “ yeah, ” she nods, “ we do have each other, after all. we’ll get through it. ” she shakes her head, “ honestly, i think we’re the only people that can pull it off ! paul and mary would be so impressed ! ” she grins, remembering simpler days, where she and matt would binge the great british baking show in her dorm on saturday nights, talking animatedly about things they wanted to try – and which contestants they were rooting for. it’s so cramped lately, it’s hard to steal away for moments that are just theirs. baking cookies past 1 a.m. seems to do the trick tonight. she puts out all the ingredients, finding the bowls and getting started on the first steps. “ i think it’s the perfect time to make up our own recipe anyway. ” she’s a bit enthusiastic in her endeavor, so much so that when she opens the bag of flour, it sort of explodes. allie sputters and coughs, wiping dust out of her eyes, “ oops. ” 

               “ Impressed or threatened? Let’s be real, we are quite a team. “     Matt said in a  joking manner but deep down, he knew it was true, they had this connection they kept playing off as mutual love for baking. They get each other, words never needed to have it expressed. Matt was thankful for this early morning adventure. It’s like old times, something he is looking forward to going back to. Things aren’t always going to be the same, he knew that but this is something he could keep. As the bag of flour exploded, Matt tried to stifle a laugh but he failed.    “ Oh, no! “    He exclaims before taking a step forward to Allie.    “ Don’t move, angel. “    He gently pulls her into him closer by her shoulder, making her face him. Matt blows the flour that got on her eyes then gingerly wipes the stubborn ones that lingered on her skin.    “ Well, this is a look. “

She probably wouldn’t have been able to do it. She lacked patience, and usually everything she held in her hands ended up broken  or bent up somehow– it was safer for Matt to do it. She looked at him with attention, as if she were trying to learn as well, despite all the teasing she had done for him not being able to do it on a first attempt. “You should’ve bought them rolled up– I’m sure they do that– right?” She lived in New York her entire life and she had never come in contact with a weed supplier? It was hardly believable, but very much true. 

Ella looked at the rolled blunt for a long second, then took it in her hands and bit her bottom lip. “You have to promise… You have to promise you won’t laugh at me when I cough my lungs out– and… remember not to take seriously anything I say when I’m high. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I should warn you,” she said– she probably should’ve made him sign a contract or something. Ella looked at him one last time, the blunt now between her lips. She lit it up and inhaled as she imagined would work with a cigarette as well, her eyes not leaving his for the moment… and then she started coughing with little to no control right after she passed the blunt back. “Well,” cough, “that did not go as smoothly as I thought it would,” Ella laughed.

             “ I’m not sure that was an option. “   He admitted, rubbing his nape. Matt had reached the sort of comfort with Ella not to be embarrassed by the revelation. Not like he thought it was a big deal for her despite her teasing him. He was also comfortable that he is willing to take hits with her, something he only does with his friends. Ella is definitely a friend.   “ It’s my first time to get a weed directly from a dealer actually. Gallagher never fails to surprise me. “   

             At her statement, he traced a cross on his chest,   “ cross my heart, “   then raised a hand to swear by his words, “ hope to die. You should be worried about doing or saying anything stupid. I could guarantee you a whole new level of dumb in my high version. “   He watched her take her first hit, simply nodding as she had her reaction anticipated.      “ You know, you did better than I did when I take my first hit. “    He says, just laughing lightly as he remembers what he had promised earlier. Matt took the blunt from her, taking it between his fingers  before taking a hit. He let the smoke glide through his system, exhaling the excess smoke out. Then he had the lit blunt back to her.     “ This will only get better here and out. “

Dimitri chuckled under his breath, a hearty sound that came from his chest. “Of course. That’s why they sent the terrifying Russian to come and get you,” he joked back, his voice void of amusement until he cracked another smile at the other. “I’m just kidding. You’re from Georgetown, right? I’m just your… really late welcoming committee,” he lied smoothly, offering his hand to him. “Dimitri Orlov.” 

                  “ Hey, now, that would suggest I would be terrified of you. I’m not sure if I should be offended for thinking I’m wimp or I’ll take it as a compliment as they have to send a one man army to stop me. “    He replies when he smiles, indicating he is joking. To be fair, he was really intimidating and he still is even after he jokes. Just this time, it was a different kind.     “ Yeah, I am. “     He puts his camera on his other hand and extended the other out to the guy.    “ Matthew Castigador. Or just Matt. Where do you think is the best spot to take a picture? “

                       “ You can say that. “     Matt laughs, shaking his head at his own actions. He could be studying or attend his actual online classes yet her he is, digging on things he should stay away from especially if the bomb at the protest and the lockdown was actually connected.     “ Right? it is definitely a possibility. “    He sighed, the thought sending shivers down his spine.     “ I mean, how much trouble can we get if we actually go the restricted parts. Something tells me the restricted part of the library will some answer, if not, at least clues. “

CAMPBELL DURAND

a hand moves to the back of his own neck, warming the chilling bumps that appear at the question of taking a shot of him. any other kind of shot would bring the same feeling, but at least those would be less invasive. “ i uh … yeah, sure. do i just - ” he’s dancing a two step accidentally as he moves back and forth. “ just stand here, or … here or ? ”

                   It was only then Matt was realizing how awkward it was. Matt tend to put himself into unconventional situation even before he thinks about it. People would always point out he is one of the friendliest person out there yet his social cues are way off. Most likely it is because he grew up in an entirely different culture.   “ Sorry, I haven’t even introduce myself. I’m Matt. “    He introduces himself, extending his free hands out to him.

CLAIRE WALSH

– “OH, COME ON, DON’T TELL ME YOU’RE NOT USED TO IT BY NOW?” SHE TEASES, grinning at him. she can still tell that something’s bothering him, that the smile on his face doesn’t reach his eyes, but she’s not exactly the sort of person to say something about it – or to KNOW what to say about it anyway. so, she tries to act normal instead. “ yeah, the chefs are like…world class. they work us hard, but they treat us good. ”

                “ Not yet. I’m current in a state where in I’m craving and keep asking for it. “    Matt grins not really knowing why he keeps finding himself asking for her to hurt him, may it be physically or emotionally. It was probably only a matter of time before she gets tired of it but it doesn’t look like she was. At least, that’s what Matt was hoping for.   “ I can see that. Spa facility? The only complain I have is the lack of elevator. “

DIMITRI ORLOV

Dimitri came up to the young man he had been assigned to all but protect like it was a matter of life or death, which, in reality, it was. He was to keep him safe no matter what, and despite knowing that this was part of his job now, it was much different than the tasks that he been assigned by his father. It was just a slow adjustment. “Hey, man,” he said, the words awkward with his accent, heavy in his mouth. He was going for friendliness, but at 6′3 and full Russian, it was a little difficult. “Were you heading this way?” he asked, pointing toward the common room. // @mattcastt​

               Matt isn’t usually jumpy but the recent predicament got his camera almost slipping out of grasp. Good thing, his reflexes are more than average. He didn’t expect for someone to call out his attention. He looked intimidated but not intimidating enough for him to be self-conscious. There was something the way the guy stood that was admirable but Matt wouldn’t say it out loud. Maybe, he was the RD.    “ I was going down actually. Uhm, am I in trouble? “

[mattcastt]

ELLA TAYLOR

“I thought you said you knew how to do it!” Ella teased when he was taking too long. How long had it been since the last time she laughed this freely? Quite some time, considering she wasn’t drunk or intoxicated– yet. That was the plan. She was quite nervous, of course– having never done it before, but there was always a first time and Matt seemed like good company for a first… right? Ella surely thought so. How did they wound up by themselves instead of a large group was still a mystery, but one Ella didn’t care much to solve. Interaction with one person was much easier, less stressful. “Alright– you gonna start or should I say fuck it and give it a go?”  (( @mattcastt​ ))

                “ Stop. “    Matt gave her side a light nudge as he raised the poorly rolled blunt for further inspection. He almost cringed at the sight of his work    “ I mean, I never thought it was this hard. I’ve seen Atty do it a lot of times, okay. It didn’t seem hard. “      He shakes his head and tries rolling the blunt again between his palms. Matt had been needing this release recently and he didn’t really want his friends to know he had been more stressed than he lets on. Matt feels like he is being lame ( more than the usual ) if he does it alone. Ella had always been a good company ever since he knew her.     “ You want to take the first hit? “    He says as he hands over the blunt and the lighter.

[mattcastt]

                      GALLAGHER GROUNDS, 07:45PM ---    “ So...I heard you are the girl to look for. “      Matt says as she approaches the girl in a voice he has never---in a voice he has never used with anyone before. He didn’t know why he did it. Surely, not for him to sound intimidating. His source showed him the picture and it seems like her.     “ Sorry. I don’t know why I did that. I just wanna make a purchase. Or if you are not selling anything, that’s fine too. Forget this day even happened. “
