“See, I can’t tell if that’s a joke because you seem like the kind of person who would make that mistake twice.” He pointed out, bumping her back. “I think at this point, the school is so used to our bullshit that they don’t even try to stop us. They just make it more convenient for us to do it.” 

❝ i should be offended but i can see where you’re coming from, ❞ she laughed, ❝ this is the first time, though. ❞ but she couldn’t take too much credit as it was also her first time actually baking something as well. ❝ tea. they’re all about keeping us happy so our parents will give them more money. ❞

“96 baklavas. That’s not an accident, that’s an achievement,” Seth said with a laugh. “I will take one, if you don’t mind. But later. You look like you need some help with those.” He’s not sure if she even sees him gesturing towards the containers, but he offers to help her carry them anyway. “Where are you headed?”

❝ thank you, thank you, ❞ she said while giving small curtsies, or her best attempt at some given her arms were occupied. ❝ that would be amazing, thanks, ❞ she stopped to tilt her head to the side to see who she was speaking with, ❝ seth! how many boxes do you wanna grab? ❞ she was excited to regaining her frontal vision along with giving her arms a lighter load. ❝ teacher’s lounge! it’ll be easy to get rid of boxes there. ❞

[namkoongs]

tyridgemount‌: 

“Sounds good to me. Lead the way. I could kind of tell just based on the fact that you thought it was a good idea to bake a bunch of baklava without checking the date, but…” He trailed off, clearly just teasing the girl. “How could I? It’s so impressive that the students at Houghton care so much about the arts that they keep rotten eggs just in case they need to motivate bad actors.”

❝ will do! ❞ she grinned, walking towards the middle of their school. she didn’t know why she didn’t think of this before, it seemed so obvious. ❝ hey! ❞ she gave him a hurt expression before lightly bumping him with her shoulder. ❝ i’ll let you know, this is only the second time this has happened to me, ❞ she was just kidding, it was her first but she wanted to assert her wittiness. ❝ i know right? honestly, it’s the school’s fault for giving us lockers that are the perfect size for holding egg cartons. they’re enablers. ❞

This time he waits until he’s done chewing to answer. “Haven’t you heard? I was raised by a pack of wild wolves,” he fires back, his shoulders shaking with silent laughter. “You don’t have to tell him twice,” he takes another two boxes from her hands and puts it in his backpack to eat when he’s home later. There’s no hesitation as he opens the sketchbook back up and shows Rothy the drawing he’s working on–it’s rough, extremely so, at this stage–the other is one of the few people he doesn’t mind showing his art to. “It’s a tattoo design.” 

❝ did you? i bet — ❞ she laughed before she could say her joke, but she quickly collected herself,❝ i bet mowgli is shaking. ❞ it wasn’t everyday you could reference the jungle book. ❝ bless, you’re my hero, ❞ she does a mock-bow as he takes even more box. she moves slightly closer to him as she looks at his piece, ❝ ooh, i like it! now, is this a design you’re thinking of getting or is it just for fun? ❞

[namkoongs]

tyridgemount‌: 

“No problem. Just lead the way and I’ll take these wherever you need them to be.” He said as he took a few of them out of her hands. “Please don’t. I am the worst with all things business. I just tend to give good advice every now and then, but it’s purely accidental. Right, right. I almost forgot that you get pelted with tomatoes whenever your performance isn’t up to par.” He joked.

❝ maybe the quad? i think that’s a good place to give these out, ❞ she adjusted her hands as he took some of the boxes. ❝ i mean, i never have good ideas so accidental ones would be a major improvement. ❞ a burst of laughter escaped as she heard his description, ❝ don’t forget the eggs, those are the worst. ❞ 

[namkoongs]

tyridgemount‌: 

“Do you need help carrying those, by the way? I just realized how heavy those must be. Exactly. If people like them, they’ll want more. You can advertise them as free samples. I’ve come to notice that most people who say they’re great with criticism aren’t, but I’ll let you know if I hate them, anyways.”

❝ yeah, that would be great, thanks! ❞ she nodded at his suggestion, wondering why she didn’t think of this before, ❝ that’s smart, remind me to come to you for business problems i have. i promise i’m fine with them! i’m a theatre kid, i deal with criticism every day. ❞

nicolesantoshq‌: 

Nicole stared blankly at the eight containers and listened to whoever was behind the containers speak.” And you just decided to bring them to school?” Nicole asked, taking two of the containers off Rothy’s hands. She could smell the baklavas and her mouth watered.” You should be in the cooking club. These smell good and if you make extra, I’m sure there are people who wouldn’t mind having some.”

❝ yeah, i figured it would be the easiest to get rid of them, ❞ though the more she thought about it, the more she realized she should’ve just donated the pastries, ❝ if i have any extras, i’ll just give them to a soup kitchen or something. ❞ she was expecting one box to be taken away and her merriment only grew when it was two. finally, she could see. ❝ thanks, nikki, ❞ she said towards the other’s action and complement, ❝ honestly, this is the only thing i really know how to make but i’ll definitely stop by and see if anyone wants some. ❞ 

[namkoongs]

tyridgemount‌: 

“You know what they say, a good sob story is the way to my heart.” He joked back. “You’re lucky you caught me with an empty stomach.” He said, taking one of the boxes from her. “That sounds like the worst luck, but at least you get to test out if people will like them before you sell them.”

❝ thank god, ❞ she laughed, glad to feel some of the weight leave her arms. ❝ true! it could be some free press or something. you’re the first one to take some, though. let me know what you think. and please don’t hold back, i’m great with criticism. ❞

ok but i’m looking at this post https://ask-kimdaily.tumblr.com/post/185942996952/hyungline-affection-fear-maknaeline-being and like this one is 1000000000000000% rothy sldjfsdk

[elijchli]

eli’s film portfolio may have been stuffed already, but he felt like he needed more. something to wow schools, something different. so, that brought him to the front steps of houghton, holding a camera and stopping those who walked by to get into school, “ hey! what is one word you would use to describe dante alvares? when he was alive, of course, if you say dead i’ll push you down these stairs. “

[namkoongs]

she wasn’t too surprised when she saw elijah with his camera, assuming he was doing a project of sorts. ❝ not alive? ❞ there was a cheeky smile etched on her face, not wanting to reminisce about her ex. ❝ of all the topics you could ask about, why dante? ❞

kalanicheng‌: 

even though they haven’t talked in awhile, kalani could feel herself relaxing more and feeling as if she could talk to rothy again. she stood beside the other’s locker, her psychology book in her arms as she glanced over and listened to rothy talk about her sleeping schedule. “oh same here, just getting lost in youtube videos and forgetting that school started back up.” a light laugh leaves her lips, nodding her head in agreement, “i think i made it a habit of staying up late to where i forgot what going to bed early was for me.”

❝ which videos do you watch? i always get stuck in the vine and tiktok compilation hole. ❞ she watched one video on a whim and they kept showing up on her recommendations. she wasn’t complaining, though, they were always entertaining. ❝ tell me about it, i had to do an all nighter the day before just to try and fix it. it kind of worked but i was suffering. ❞

[namkoongs]

akwcns‌: 

The effect is immediate, a smile takes over the boy’s features to seeing one of his best friends and widens when he takes one of the Tupperware from her hands. He puts his pencil behind his ear and closes his sketchbook before he grabs one of Balkavas inside. “Marry me,” he mumbles after taking a bite though it sounds more like murfeh mah. “These are so good,” he pats the seat next to him, inviting Rothy to sit.

just one of the boxes were gone and she could see much better and her smile only grew when she saw alek. ❝ god, alek, didn’t your parents teach you not to talk with your mouth full? ❞ she teased, barley able to make out what he said, ❝ but, i’m glad you like them. don’t hesitate to take as many boxes as you want. ❞ she eyed his closed sketchbook as she took the seat next to him, ❝ what’cha working on, though? ❞

“how do you ‘accidentally’ make 96 baklavas?” the question was curious as he tilted his head in curiosity.

❝ it’s actually a pretty wild story. so, my friend’s girlfriend got pregnant and today was supposed to be her baby shower but she ended up having her baby early so the party got cancelled. it was kind of her fault cause her mom said not to have it so close to her due date but she wanted everyone to be back from summer vacation. anyways, i was in charge of dessert. ❞

[namkoongs]

tyridgemount‌: 

“How do you accidentally bake 96 baklavas? Also, I always side eye those characters in math problems who buy eighty watermelons because they’re on sale, so I don’t know how much I trust someone who ‘accidentally’ made 96 baklavas not to poison me.” He joked.

❝ yes, i’m specifically trying to poison you by trying to make you pity me, ❞ she laughed, ❝ did it work? ❞ she backpedaled to his previous question, ❝ the drama club is having a bake sale but i read the date wrong so i’m left with all of these, and i can’t save them cause the actual bake sale is in a week and that’s too long. ❞

[namkoongs]

kalanicheng‌: 

kalani had been exhausted for multiple reasons. one being she went to bed late since it became a habit once summer vacation started. when she realized who was talking to her, she glanced over at rothy. someone she hadn’t spoken to or really seen since freshmen year. glancing up to where she was standing, she gave her an apologetic smile, “right, sorry.” she had forgotten how close their lockers were to each other as she stepped aside so she could allow the other to get into her locker. at her question, she turned her head to rothy and nodded her head, “hmm, no yeah, i’m just tired really, didn’t sleep well last night.” she replied with a shrug of her shoulders. you could practically feel the awkwardness between the two since it’s been awhile since they really seen or talked to each other. 

she returned kalani’s smile with a nod and quickly unlocked her locker so she could free up her arms, only keeping her pre-calculus textbook with her. although there was some tension between them, rothy honestly didn’t feel it and she began to feel more at ease around her old friend. she nodded at kalani’s explanation, ❝ i get what you mean, but i did it to myself cause i was staying up watching youtube videos. ❞ she closed her locker and clasped it. ❝ it doesn’t help that summer totally fucked up my sleeping schedule. ❞

[namkoongs]

she probably looked ridiculous, carrying eight containers and walking aimlessly around school. ❝ i swear, i’m like those people in math problems. rothy accidentally bakes 96 balkavas   —    anyways, i accidentally made 96 baklavas; please take some. ❞ she, honestly, didn’t know who she was talking to as her vision was blocked by the tuppleware but she could see their shadow. whoever it was, she just hoped they would accept her offer.

[xkylerx]

back to school wasn’t kalani’s favorite thing. summer had come and gone in the blink of an eye. with performances with her step dad’s group, she enjoyed time with them and getting to just relax. now that she was back in school, she knew she had to put her school work, volleyball and dancing first. it was hard, since her mom wanted her to get good grades, excel in volleyball and her step dad was on her about her dancing, to make sure she had her hip movements right. sighing softly, she walks through the school doors and goes to her locker taking out her things and putting them in her bag. closing it shut, she rests her back against the lockers and leans her head back spacing out for a bit until she hears someone approaching, “sorry what did you say?”

[namkoongs]

rothy was in a rush. she wasn’t necessarily late to her class, she just had to speak with her teacher before it started, something regarding an assignment that took place during one of the theatre shows. she had her school books piled on her arms, ready to put them back in her locker when she froze. kalani just happened to be near her locker and she didn’t want to invade her personal space. ❝ i need to get to my locker, ❞ she repeated, giving an awkward smile. she began debating on whether or not she should ask her former friend how she was since she looked tired. they haven’t spoke much since freshman year but she would still consider the two of them as acquaintances. there was no harm in asking. right? ❝ are you okay? ❞
