“Personal preference.” Harry nodded along, dropping the cigarette in his water bottle to put it out. “Well don’t just stand there, Ellen.” He patted at the free space on the blanket. “How’ve you been lately? School’s just swallowed me up whole lately.” He shook his head.

Eleanora broke into a small smile before sitting next to her friend. “I’ve been alright. Writing a lot. Oh, and you didn’t have to do that, you know.” Eleanora said, in response to Harry putting out his cigarette. She nodded at Harry’s mention of classes. “School is... a lot. Personally, I cannot wait for summer. I just need a break, you know?” She murmured as she laid back on Harry’s blanket. “

hal.

This used to be one of Hal’s favorite nights of the year. The stars, the people, it was simply an enjoyable night every time it came around. Hal and his parents would always rent a few blankets and sit together, simply enjoying time together not interrupted by work or school. But this was the first time without his father. He was simply walking around, not towards or away from anything, just wandering around in a haze when he ran into someone. “Oh… sorry,” he half-heartedly said, fully prepared to continue walking.

Eleanora knew that Hal would be having a rough night. In the years that she had known him, he had always spent Make-A-Wish Night with his father. This was the first time Hal would have to spend the holiday without him. “Hey.” She smiled at him, before giving him a brief hug. “You holding up alright?”

Harrison has a cigarette between his teeth as sat on his blanket in the park, scribbling the sky into his sketch book. Regardless of the entire event, this was what he did most nights. He wanted to know more about astronomy and about the stories of all the constellations. But who had the time while in graduate school? Harrison glanced up only enough to see a pair of shoes, thinking it was the event coordinator again. “Now I’m in the designated smoking area so don’t tell me to get up and move again.” He mumbled.

Eleanora paused, taken aback by Harry’s reaction to her presence. “I, erm… I don’t really care if you smoke. I mean, personally, I don’t do it, but that’s just a… a personal preference, I guess.” The girl stared at her feet before breaking the silence. “I’m here alone.” She finally said. “And you’re a familiar face so I just thought I’d say hello. So you know, here I am.”

Eleanora peered at the sky through the viewfinder of her camera. The girl took a moment to look down at her book on constellations before snapping a photo of Perseus, the constellation that she had found. She brought the camera down from the sky and suddenly, a face filled the tiny window. “Oh! Hey there. Sorry, I was taking pictures.” She said with a gesture to her camera. “How are you enjoying Make-A-Wish Night?”

CIS FEMALE. ) was that ELEANORA NICKS? they kind of remind me of OPHELIA from HAMLET. maybe it’s because they’re TWENTY-ONE years old and AN ASPIRING WRITER. they’re PASSIONATE && TEMPERAMENTAL, and when i see them, i think of SLOWLY WILTING FLOWER PETALS && THE FEELING OF FALLING IN LOVE.
