✧ ❛ SCARLETT ;

@mollvs !!

         Coming back to Sheffield had been an admission of defeat, not that Scarlett would ever allow anyone to even imply such a thing. And she had yet to confess to her best friend the real cause of her return, a fact that was going to remain a secret for as long as she could help it. A mundane sleepover; pillows were thrown at the other, and insulting words were thrown back in result.  ❛  I am the bitch.  ❜  Scout corrects the other, grin plastered on defined features.  ❛  And you LOVE me.  ❜  

sheffield wasn’t the same without scout and whether or not molly would like to admit it, she missed her friend more than words could ever describe. part of her was so ecstatic to have the other back in town that questioning her reason for return seemed so irrelevant, though there was a part of her that wondered about the real cause for her reappearance. the younger held her pillow tight against her chest while she settled into a cross-legged seating position across from scarlett. “ i do. i missed you SO MUCH, i’m glad that you’re back. ”

✧ ❛ JULIAN ;

          Her speech in defence of the fictional character brought on a scoff.  ❛  Yeah, still a fucking cartoon, though, nothing CREEPY ‘bout it.  ❜  He pauses; leaning back, eyebrow arched.  ❛  What’s wrong with either? Too SPOOKY for you, Phillips? Don’t tell me you’re scared of POGO, too.  ❜  

“ who said halloween costumes HAVE to be creepy? the cute costumes are better anyways; all that blood and guts stuff is nasty. ” molly scrunched up her nose, having never been a big fan of anything gory. “ maybe a LITTLE –– wait, what’s that? ”

✧ ❛ JULIAN ;

          Despite having decided on his Halloween plans well into 1992, he’d actually not given the holiday much thought.  ❛  How PG. Now that’s more like Molly Phillips– a little disappointed, but hey! Glad you’re still in there.  ❜  The older jests, beginning to shrug in response to her question.  ❛  Probably just gonna fuck around & get a clown mask– you know the Stephen King one? Yeah, Teddy’s like terrified, so… we’re gonna scare the shit outta him. It’s either that or like– mutilated & crippled zombie.  ❜ 

thin brows raised at the older’s comment, confusion written over bronze features. “ what’s THAT supposed to mean? velma is cool! she’s smart and has a nifty catchphrase –– half the characters people are dressing up as can’t say the same. ” the idea of dressing up as one-fifth of the scooby gang wasn’t molly’s original idea, seeing as she was aiming for a quiet night in, but she couldn’t say no when scout pitched the idea. “ that’s MEAN! there have got to be other options, those are too ... NOT GOOD. ”

❝ uh ━ i mean, yeah. it was just a joke, y’know ?? and 1990 was only two years ago. clown costumes aren’t that outdated. ❞

“ two years is a LONG TIME –– everyone’s moved onto catwoman and batman. ”

❝ With Halloween just around the corner, you think we’ll have Cheshire Clown copycats ??  ❞

“ you know that stuff’s not real, right? ‘sides, clown costumes are so 1990. ”

      “well that’s a fucking DOUCHEBAG move. now i REALLY do want to know who it is. you gonna tell me?”

“ not with that TONE i’m not. i don’t want to give everyone else another reason to hate me, not when everyone’s just now getting over it. really, mav, it’s NOT that big of a deal. ”

          He stifles a laugh, shaking his head as she goes on; amusement evident on pale features.  ❛  It’s HALLOWEEN, Phillips– could’ve gone darker. But… getting places! Proud of you.  ❜  The older encourages, arms folding across his chest.  ❛  So, how big’s that HALLOWEEN SPIRIT of yours? You’re not gonna go all– slutty whatever on us, are you? POOR CHOICE OF WORDS. But you get what I mean. Half the town is about to parade ‘round like ‘ sexy bees, ’ – like what the hell’s a sexy bee?  ❜  

“ me? in a sexy costume? “ molly asked with a scoff, “ i couldn’t even if i wanted to. me and my best friend are going as velma & daphne from scooby doo –– what about you? are you gonna dress up? i think it would be entertaining to see you as a sexy bee. ”

the old molly can’t come to the phone right now

          He’d expected her to have forgotten it, or at least pretended to. But instead, she sought him out, which was enough to make Julian question just about the entirety of his existence.  ❛  Really?  ❜  Thick brows rose in surprise & part suspicion. ❛  Whatever happened to the giant wimp that we all know & tolerate?  ❜

molly liked her comfort zone –– it was comfortable, after all –– and more often than not, hated leaving it. this is why she spent a majority of her high school years pent up in her bedroom studying rather than living out her life the way the rest of her peers were. however, going to a haunted house, despite its scary nature, wasn’t nearly as bad in molly’s eyes as facing another party, which is why she was so eager to go. “ she was possessed by one of the ghosts that live in her dorm. a fun ghost –– like casper but not prettier. ”

spooky scary skeletons

          Of course Julian had remembered. What was there not to? Messing with people might be his favourite pastime, and despite the promise having taken place months ago– Molly Phillips being forced through the local HAUNTED HOUSE was an event not easily forgotten.  ❛  Hold up: so, – you’re NOT backing out, then? BULLSHIT.  ❜

as a person who didn’t have very many friends, molly kept a mental note of whenever an opportunity to hang out with someone was brought up. regardless of her distaste for all things scary, she wasn’t one to pass up on a chance to hang out with juli. “ nope, not a chance –– i’ve been looking forward to it all september. ”

      “who STARTED it? did you sleep with someone?”

“ w-what? no! i didn’t – i haven’t – he made it up! because i wouldn’t ... do it. ”

      “yeah, you’re okay, molls. known ya too long for it to change, unless you do something SUPER fucked up. i don’t know what kind of fucked up, but then you might be screwed.”

“ do you know me? if there were an award for least likely to screw up, i’d win it. which is something i wish the entire student body considered before calling me a whore, but i should’ve known better than to expect much from some of these kids. ”

       “wouldn’t matter to me if you were or not. it shouldn’t matter to the people who care about you at all. only dumbasses would believe that shit, y’know? jennifer didn’t have a good SUPPORT behind her like you do. and it’s not like i haven’t been in a fight before if you need me to, y’know, take someone down. or i could just give them INFINITE library fees. the possibilities of revenge are endless.”

“ that ... that’s nice of you to offer, mav, but it won’t be necessary. it was high school stuff, y’know? i’m in college now –– a freshman, granted, but still college. it hasn’t followed me here, not yet at least, and i don’t want to stir the pot if i don’t have to. i was just ... making sure your opinion of me hasn’t changed. ”

scout !

Scarlett: Why? What happened?

Molly: I thought I told you ... Molly: It doesn’t really matter anymore, it was really stupid anyway. Molly: I just don’t feel up to going to parties, is what I’m getting at here, but if you really want to go to one then I can give it another try.

      “it’s only been a couple years since i was in high school, but i heard some shitty shit. what’d they say? you jerk off a cow? i know jennifer ames had that one spread after she stole tiffany dixon’s bra… ? …or was it a boyfriend? either way, she got called ‘milk maid’ until i dropped out. who knows, maybe it continues today. pretty intense stuff.”

“ – – no, no, it’s nothing as bad as what happened to jennifer. at least i can eat steak without being called a necrophiliac. it was just ... some stupid rumor right before graduation that i was EASY; it’s a long story but i promise that i’m not. ”

      “ If she does, you make sure to tell ME ‘n I’LL talk to her. I’d say after EIGHTEEN years you’re more than due for a little FREEDOM. Well sure, I was terrified I wasn’t gonna make FRIENDS. But everyone’s NERVOUS, which is a good thing, that fear makes everyone EXTRA friendly. Not that you’re not one of the KINDEST people I know already. I wouldn’t WORRY, s’long as you go in with an OPEN mind, you’ll fall into place sooner than you think. ”

“ but you did make friends though, right? i really only had one friend in high school and she’s going to college out of state – i have no idea what i’m going to do without her. people were nice to me because of her, y’know, i guess i’m just worried they won’t like me now that she’s gone. i’m not really all that ... outgoing. ”

Scarlett: If people didn’t think you were a rug-muncher before, they sure as hell do now, Mols. Let me guess… You’ve got a little Scarlett Victoria Atkins shrine sitting beside your bed? Can’t really blame you, though, most people do. It’s a curse.  Scarlett: What’s the point of college if you don’t experience it? We can be depressing shut-ins any other time of the year, but this is COLLEGE. You can’t pass up on it! And I won’t let you. No freaking way.

Molly: I didn’t realize that missing my best friend made me lesbo ... I’ll have to keep that in mind when I find a new best friend ‘cause my OLD one wasn’t funny >:-) Molly: Education? Getting a degree? I have scholarships to maintain, you know! How about we go out one night and hang out the rest of the time? I don’t even like parties, not after what happened at the last one I went to.
