He had a point there because Sunny felt the same way. With the slight shrug of her shoulders, she laid down beside the other. “You’re not the only one. I wasn’t expecting to still be on campus during my summer vacation,” she said, still bitter about having to stay. When he mentioned their band, she gave him a smile of her own. “Thanks, dude. I was worried about coming to this school and having to play with their band, but they’re not that bad. Well, now they’re better now that I’m playing with them.” 

Noah chuckled, agreeing with her, not questioning when she laid down next to him. “Yeah, it kind of fucking sucks that we’re still stuck here.” he shrugged. “But then I think about being at home for two months and that would suck too,” he laughed. Laughing once more at her burst of confidence, he glanced over at her. “Well someones confident huh? But you’re probably right, I don’t remember the band sounding this good in the past so, it must be because of you.”

“I’m suddenly glad I’ve never tried out for the football team.” Collen jokes, in all honesty it really wasn’t his sport. He was a lot happier with boxing after all, and he really didn’t trust himself not to trip on the field trying to catch the ball. “No problem! Better to check in and get told someone’s good then not and learn down the road there was actually a probably. I might take you up on trying it though, it’s been an hour.” He honestly wasn’t sure what he was going to do in regards to Royal honestly, other than wish his brother never called him with stuff like that ever again. He settles himself on the ground, laying in the grass next to Noah. “Honestly I was trying to clear my mind, my little brother called me advice to “take it to the next level” with his girlfriend and he didn’t like my answer - don’t.” He really thought Royal needed to wait a lot longer, a couple years levels of longer in fact, but Collen hadn’t mentioned that - just tried to drive home the teens hadn’t been dating long and they should not. “You’re right though, this grass is soft.” 

Noah laughed at the words words, nodding at him, “You should be .. I mean, don’t get me wrong it can be fun and I like it, but damn ..” he chuckled. he looked over at the guy, seeing that he had obviously just had a tough time of some sort. Noah liked talking to people, hearing about their different problems and issues - it made him not feel so alone with his own stuff. “Ah .. the ‘don’t rush into it” speech. I get it .. thats never fun, especially when its your own brother,” he chuckled. “I’m an only child so I can’t relate too much but I can only imagine how that went,” he told him. “Was he pissed?” he asked curiously. He chuckled once more, running his hands over the grass. “Yeah, its a good place to come and think I guess” 

[noahsuccs]

Sitting down next to the guy she smirked, “I’m familiar with how nice the grass feels,” she said before laying down herself and looked up at the sky. “So are you contemplating life or dying from running laps?” 

Smiling once he recognized who’s voice it was, he stayed put, feeling comfortable beside his friend. Noah thought about her question for a few seconds before answering, “I guess both,” he spoke with a light chuckle. “Dying from the laps made me contemplate life.”

Ari shifts their weight from foot to foot, feeling awkward, “Not really new… But I have a shit memory and I don’t remember which way to go.” They laugh, “Yeah, this place really is a maze. I’d really appreciate the help.” Glancing over the book in his hands, they tilt their head, “What are you reading?” 

Noah chuckles at her words, “Hey, I get it, I’m the same way sometimes. Especially when it comes to school.” He nods his head, gesturing to the way they would be heading. “No problem, its this way,” he smiled. “Uh ... don’t laugh, but its Macbeth. I’m one of those people,” he joked, holding the book up.

carolinehearst:

Caroline had just finished with another awful crew practice. It seemed like the timing was off recently with her and the girls and that had set their coach over the edge. They had been the reigning champs the last three years and he was expecting nothing less than perfection so they could reclaim their title for the fourth year in a row. Desiring to take the longer walk back to her dorm, she crossed through the football field and noticed a lingering body lying towards the north side of the end zone. Wanting to make sure the individual was actually still breathing she slowly approached them realizing that it was none other than Noah Wadden. “You okay?” she chuckled. She could certainly relate to the intense pressures of being an athlete at their school. Just as much perfection was expecting in the classroom, the said could be said when it came to athletics. “Do you need water or maybe I can call for an ambulance?” 

as soon as he heard the persons voice, he knew it was caroline, a small smile instantly falling onto his face. he knew she could relate to how he was feeling in this moment, the pressure and the exhaustion that came with being an athlete. he pushed himself up onto his elbows as he glanced her way, laughing at her words. “maybe you should call one, I can fake an injury, make it real dramatic and everything. maybe coach will let me off the hook this time,” he joked. “what are you doing out here?” he asked curiously.

a smile formed on luca’s lips as he looked at noah leaning into him slightly. “we can walk to the cafe. get you a burger or something. i could u u u use a coffee.” he said even though it was probably about six in the evening. luca couldn’t remember the last time he slept if he was going to be honest and he really shouldn’t be drinking coffee at this hour but that never stopped him. “that way it’s a win win for the both of us…. the c c c c cafe is still a bit of a walk.” he said smiling softly as he pulled away from his slightly and led the way but didn’t dare to let go of his hand. he knew that the moment that he would start craving his touch again. “how has your day been?” he asked gently rubbing soft circles into his hand as they walked. 

noah chuckled, hearing luca say how he could use a coffee, knowing how he was. “i’m always down for a good burger,” he smiled. he didn’t mind the long walk, it gave them a chance to talk and get away for a little while. he didn’t think twice or hesitate when luca started leading him away, hand in hand. it was something that he was used to doing with him, which many people might question, but noah didn’t care. shrugging at his question, he glanced back down at his friend, “eh, it was alright - went to the football field and practiced a bit, did some running, then i ran into this dude who was yelling at someone about hacking teachers computers ..” he teased, lightly nudging the other boy. “what about you?”

“Oof– easy on the landing!” she said as she was put back in her own bed. She groaned and hugged one of her pillows as she stared at the person who brought her back. “Smirnoff knows how to show you a good time and then mess you up… like ten minutes later.” Her eyes widened because she didn’t remember yelling in the hallway but upon further contemplation, she knew that it was definitely something that she would do once the alcohol rose up to her head. 

“More like really messes you up - I stay far away from it now, too many times I don’t remember,” he chuckled. Instantly he could see the surprise in her face as her realization set in, holding back another laugh. “Don’t worry, no one was really around to hear it. You stopped after a couple minutes anyways ...” he told her, trying to make her feel less worried. “I’ve done much worse,” he reassured her. “so .. do you need anything? water?” 

[noahsuccs]

liam-kim-rp:

“Just let me know when you do,” he flirted back before his smile faded. “Oh, your dad’s a piece of shit too?” he asked, sitting down in front of the guy. “Glad I’m not alone in dads forcing their kids to do shit they don’t want to do.” He then reached into his pocket, taking out his cigarette box and lighter, handing both to the player. “Puff away.” 

noah raised an eyebrow at the others obvious flirting, before following it with a smirk. “you’ll be the first to know,” he teased back. he gladly took the box of cigs and the lighter, taking one out of the box and lighting it quickly. “glad that we can bond over shitty father figures together ... its a good ice breaker, huh?” he said in between puffs. 

[noahsuccs]

when she heard what he’d said, she instantly got up from her bed and rushed to open the door, mainly because of the last part. “oh my god, you’re a life saver,” she said to him, reaching out to hug him but stopped. “sorry, it’s just that i’m just glad i didn’t lose it forever or something.” she let out a light chuckle, taking the phone from him. “where’d you find it?”

he chuckled as he heard her running to the door, a smirk plastered on his face as she opened it. “yeah, it would suck if you actually lost it - i’ve done it once, sucked,” he said, leaning on the doorway. “on the ground in the hallway, you must have dropped it when you were rushing to your room.”

liam-kim-rp: 

“True, might as well take them off,” Liam smirked before chuckling at the other guy’s relief. “Is football really worth all the abuse?” Liam asked, having always been curious about that sort of thing. He then shrugged. “Yeah, why? Want one?” 

“Might as well,” he joked back. Noah shrugged, he wasn’t quite sure of the answer. “Well, I don’t know. I like it, it can be fun - but most importantly its what my dad says I have to do so,” he rolled his eyes before turning back with a forced smile. “I mean, yeah, if you’re offering.”

after an exhausting day, all maia wanted to do was to go back to her dorm and sleep. after trudging through the hall, she finally arrived at her door. after opening it, she instantly dropped her things, closed her door, and flopped onto the bed, while sighing heavily. when she heard loud knocks on the door, she groaned. “what do you want?” she said, quite loudly for the person to hear her.

[noahsuccs]

noah was on his way to meet a friend when he saw a girl walking in front of him, obviously in a rush, drop something from her hands. before he could get a chance to call out to her, her door was slammed shut. he sighed before going up to knock the door, jumping at her sudden words. “uhh .. you dropped your phone in the hallway? figured you’d probably want it back .. or i could always sell it, could make a couple hundred maybe?” he called through the door, joking.

// OPEN TO EVERYONE //

“How did I get– Oops did I fall asleep in the common room again? Damn it. I really need to start learning how to find my way to my bed after a night with my good friend SMIRNOFF. Silly me.” she chuckled as she nuzzled her face into her pillow, safe and sound back in her own room. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m TOTALLY thankful that you got me back here but… how’d you get me back to my room?” @luxorstarters

[noahsuccs]

noah chuckled lightly at he words as he helped guide her back into her bed. “smirnoff always knows how to have a good time, doesn’t it?” he teased back. “well,” he started, fixing his hair as he tucked it back in place behind his ear, “when i found you, i asked what room you were in and you just told me,” he shrugged. “then i gave you a piggy back all the way here,” he smirked. “you don’t remember yelling yeehaw the whole way back?” he teased.

[noahsuccs]

Liam had just finished a cigarette after a fun time under the bleachers when he noticed one of the football players drop. He smirked, deciding to walk over to make sure the guy was alright and not actually passed out or anything. When he spoke, Liam chuckled. “Yeah, I know,” he agreed with a nod. “Just sucks that it stains clothes.” He looked around to make sure the coach didn’t see him player literally lying down on the job. “Your coach is yelling at someone else, I think you’re safe for a few minutes.”

noah looked up at the boy with an amused smile, “i guess so, but my clothes are already all dirty, i couldn’t care less,” he explained. he lifted himself up so that he was resting on his arms, looking to see his coach yelling at another poor soul. “a few minutes of serenity,” he laughed. his nose twitched at the smell of cigarette smoke, glancing back at the other. “did you just have a smoke?” he asked, interested.

yestisluca:

a small smile formed on his lips at the realization of who it was he ran into and rolled his eyes slightly. “y y y yes. don’t you ask a similar question now. i i i i i i’m not doing it.” he said as he gently slapped noah’s chest with the back of his hand before taking one of his hands that were crossed over his chest and gently interlaced his fingers in between noah’s as he looked at him and smiled brightly at him. “wh wh wh what are you doing here anyway? other than eavesdropping on my conversation.” he said teasingly as his thumb drew soft circles onto the palm of noah’s hand. “what are you doing right now? w w w w want to go on a uhm– walk with me?” he asked biting the bottom of his lip and let his gaze drop down mindlessly to their now intertwined fingers. 

noah’s amused smile was still plastered on his face, as his best friend took his hand in his. he glanced down as he did so, before looking back up to meet luca’s face. “aww .. come on, not even for me?” he teased, pouting. he shook his head at the others words, “actually no i wasn’t, i was on my way to get food because i’m a never ending pit of hunger,” he chuckled, “but sure, lets go on a walk.” one of noah’s favorite things to do was go on a walk with his friend. they would talk and laugh and it just felt comfortable. he watched as luca’s gaze wandered to their intertwined hands before giving a light squeeze. “where do ya’ wanna go?”

sunnywestxx: 

The marching band also had practice of their own, well, with it being summer vacation, it was more of a band camp for all of them. And she was doing alright, just, take out the heat and she would be fine. By the time that practice was over for the band kids, Sunny was going to head inside and sit underneath a fan or something, until she noticed someone laying on the ground of the football field. Walking over to them, the younger girl stood above him with her back bent and braids hanging down. “I mean, if you don’t want to get in trouble with your coach, I recommend getting up before he appears.”

The sun now completely blocking his sight, he sighed, sitting up on the grass so that he could talk to the girl easier. “I don’t want to get into shit but I also don’t care, you know what I mean? All I want to do is lay down, its summer vacation,” he expressed, eyes squinting up at her. He paused before looking around the field, “Practice over, huh? You guys sounded good, I could hear you from over here.” he smiled up at her.

Collen usually didn’t spend a lot of time on the football field, he didn’t play the game and it wasn’t really a sport he often watched, but it was one of the best places on campus to jog to clear his mind.  After the phone call he just had with his younger brother? He definitely needed to clear his mind. Of course, he wasn’t expecting to find someone laying in the field. A few thoughts cross his mind, the loudest being is he okay - and that’s the one he was listening to when he approaches Noah. “Would your coach yell at you?” He asks, unable to help his curiosity at the boy’s words. It was summer vacation, surely Noah could rest a little bit. “I’ve never tried laying on the field - are you okay? Do you need me to grab you anything? Water or something?”

It seemed like a decent thing to ask at least.

Noah knew he could easily fight his coach using the ‘its summer’ card, but that could only strain an already uneasy relationship with the guy. Noah’s father was very much involved in the football team, constantly asking for Noah’s stats from the coach. He didn’t want to spark a fight with his father, at least not again. “He might - its usually what he does,” he chuckled. He turned his head so that he was now looking straight at the other boy, covering his eyes with his hand from the sun. “The grass is pretty soft, guess they have to keep it this way. But you should try it, pretty relaxing .. and no, I’m good. Thanks for checkin’ in though.” he gave him a friendly smile. “What are you doing out here?”
