You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop. You fit me better than my favorite sweater. And I know that love is mean and love hurts. But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby.
⌠ JACOB ELORDI, 22, CISMALE, HE/HIM ⌡ welcome back to gallagher academy, CLEMENT HENDRIX! according to their records, they’re a THIRD year, specializing in SEDUCTION + FLIRTATION & KNIFE FIGHTING SKILLS, SWORD TRAINING, PRECISION SHOOTING, FIREARMS & SWAT TRAINING and they DID go to a spy prep high school. when i see them walking around in the halls, i usually see a flash of (wicked smiles, messy hair, silent judgement & longing stares). when it’s the (scorpio)’s birthday on 11/19/97, they always request their PASTA CON POMODORO E BASILICO from the school’s chefs. looks like they’re well on their way to graduation. @gallagherintro
Aye aye hello. I am Rey and this is my trashy and sad son Clement. Under the cut is some info about him. If anyone wanna plot, hmu or like this and I will ya know.. slide into them dm’s
Clement Ridge Hendrix was born in Brisbane, Australia on the 19th of November 1997. From a young age he was the witness to some really fucked up shit. His father was a deadbeat who came and went when it felt convenient. His mother worked a full time job trying to provide for Clement, she was one hell of a woman. But then tragedy struck when she died when he was 11. Thankfully his father didn’t get custody but instead he got to live with his grandparents. His father had visiting rights and every time he visited Clement, he would go through emotional hell. His father abused him every single time he got the chance. When his grandparents understood due to the huge wounds and bruises, they called the cops and got a restraining order.
They moved away from Australia to America when he was 12. Virginia became his new home. He started high school and instead of skipping classes to hang out with friends, he got invested in the studies. He became a straight A student, always at the top of the class.
He talked to a psychiatrist from the ages of 12 to 14. They diagnosed him with severe PTSD, bipolar disorder & anxiety. How did he cope? He started to drink of course. Every night he went out with his friends, drinking and partying. It was how he dealt with the thoughts and the voices in his head telling him that he was never good enough. That he deserved the abuse he suffered. That he is the reason his mother died.
He started to sleep around, leaving a trail of broken hearts. He doesn’t feel like he deserves happiness. He doesn’t feel like he deserves to be with anyone. And therefore he hurts people, makes them feel the same pain he carries inside. The Lothario, the boy that sends a wicked grin at a girl or boy only to fill the empty hole in his heart.
He’s always embraced his bisexuality. Doesn’t give a damn if people judge him or not. He just wants to live his life and have fun. He just wants to make love, leave a lasting impression on the people he shares the bed with for the night.
Clement loves art and anything creative. When he still lived in Brisbane, he started a band with his friends. Now that he lives in America, he still plays music but doesn’t feel the need to start a new band. Nothing can fill that empty space. He plays the guitar mainly but also knows how to play the piano, violin and harp. He can also sing but he doesn’t like to do it in front of people anymore.
Is a huge animal lover, would do anything for those cute lil babies.
Is a secret softie but due to his upbringing he is way too afraid to even show signs of having a heart. He is scared that if he let’s someone in, they will either leave him or abuse him.
he laid down and went to look over at him, a worried look on his own face present. “you didn’t worry too much, right? when i was away?”
Brushing his fingertips gently over Drew’s cheek, he then smiled. “I was worried sick, Andrew” the Aussie whispered. “I have always and will always worry and care about you. No matter what” he was silent for a couple of seconds before he sighed. “I am in love with you after all”
she smiled wider, intertwining their fingers and tugging him toward the dance floor. “i hope you’re a better dancer than most of the others i’ve danced with tonight,” she teased, taking her hands and placing one into his and the other on his shoulder. “alec stepped on my toes at least twice.” jokingly, she rolled her eyes, letting him know she was teasing. she paused for a long moment. “when were you going to tell me about this whole… you and drew situation?” she asked, raising an eyebrow at him expectantly.
“I can’t make any promises. But I sure hope I am good” Clem chuckled as he looked at Rowan. Placing his free hand on her hip, he arched an eyebrow at the mention of Alec. “He did? I’m gonna make sure that won’t happen. It would be a shame to see you in pain when we are supposed to have fun” he was about ready to focus on the movement of his feet when he heard her question. Clem’s cheeks heated up the second she mentioned Drew. “Tonight actually. It only happened recently”
Trinity’s already in a good mood but hearing Clem approach her always chills her out, and she matches his smile. She’s not trying to think about her friends that are graduating, especially since it’ll mean not seeing him randomly around the campus when it so frequently made her day. “Hey, you. Making your rounds?” She can do without any sentimental goodbyes. She leans against the wall behind her, tilts her head to match. “No one ‘cause I was waiting for you to ask.” She jokes, knows he’s got a boo and actually respects him enough to care. Her eyes hit the crowd and she laughs, “I came with my little cousin, she’s the saint to my sinner. But it’s more fun going to parties stag. You can leave with whoever you want.”
“Better to do that now before I get swept up with dancing and partying. Would be a shame to not have some one on one time with my friends” Clem said. He was a rather sentimental person and he saw no harm in that. Even though it would be rough to say goodbye to the people he was so used to seeing around campus every single day, he knew that it was time to close this chapter and open the next. Her words caused him to chuckle, nodding slowly. Listening to what she was saying, he then looked at the dancing crowd and smiled. “The only thing that matters to me is that you are having a good time” he then looked at her again, extending his hand. “But can I have this dance?”
“Hey you” Clem greeted when he saw Trinity, a soft smile forming on his lips. Gaining new friends thanks to Gallagher had been one of the things he loved the most about this school. It would feel weird not seeing them everyday. Breaking such a habit would take time, he knew that. “So who is your plus one?” he asked as he tilted his head to the side.
“A goddess, hm?” she teased, humming happily at the compliment. It could be the buzz from all the alcohol she’d already consumed, but she was feeling fantastic, and she wanted to keep the vibe going. Reaching out, she wiggled her fingers in his direction playfully. “Dance with me?” she asked, raising an eyebrow expectantly.
“I said what I said” he teased back. After four years of seeing the same faces, hearing the same voices and being around the same people it would be odd getting used to a reality where he had to see them once a year, if he was lucky enough that is. Looking at her hand and then at her, he nodded as he gently took it into his own. “Never thought you would ask”
her jaw drops slightly before her lips move into a smile, happy for her friend. “stop it, no way!” she says, a little too loudly and someone near them looks over to them. she gives them a quick apology before turning back to clem. “when did this happen? i’m so happy for you.”
If he was blushing before, ah man it only got worse. Letting out a soft chuckle, he then shrugged. “It happened around a month ago. We ehm kissed and then afterwards spent time together and I just asked him if he wanted to become official and he said yes. And here we are” Clem beamed.
“That’s true. I guess we at least have, like, modern technology and better style than students who were here during Gilly’s lifetime.” That in her book is a win. “You’re graduating tomorrow, right?”
“Every time Gallagher throws a party I get excited to see just how creative people get with the theme. And let me tell you, I am once again blown away” Clem said and smiled. At the question, he nodded. “I sure am. Are you?” the brunette asked.
“It’s sort of hard to believe that we’ve managed to make it this far.” There were several of them who didn’t end up making it all the way to the end of the year but she’ll try to refrain from bringing that up at a party. “I think everyone should just be, like, totally proud of themselves. Enjoy the night and then the rest can come later.”
“That only proves how strong willed we are” Clem said and smiled softly as he looked at her. It was due to his stubborn ways and strong will he was still here and just hours away from graduating. It was exciting but terrifying all at the same time. He then looked around at all the people currently on the dance floor, nodding slowly. “I hope everyone who is about to graduate feels proud”
Miray had perhaps started her drinking too early but who could blame her considering the atmosphere surrounding the school still. “We did it!” Turns to the person nearest to her that looks mildly familiar. “We survived this whole year and we deserve, like, three nights of partying!”
Turning to look at Miray, he chuckled softly as he nodded. “We sure did. It’s so wild knowing that this year is finally over. I don’t think I will truly realize just how much shit we have endured until I graduate and leave Gallagher behind” just thinking about it caused a chill to go down his spine.
“I think Gilly should do us all a kindness and at least show up at some point tonight.” By do us all she absolutely just means herself. “Do you think she had way more chaotic years in her life?”
“That would actually be really cool” Clem agreed and nodded as he looked at Marifer. “I think Gallagher has always been pure chaos. I feel for every single student that has walked down these halls”
“so hopefully my eyes aren’t fooling me,” raina says as she walks up to her friend with a wide smile. “but is there something going on with you and drew?”
He had been mentally preparing for his best friend to come to the realization but yet he could feel his cheeks heat up the second she mentioned Drew by name. “Well ehm” he rubbed the back of his neck. “Yeah. We are dating”
“crying yet?” rowan asked, smiling at clem as she came up, head tilted back to meet his eyes. “i think i can scrounge up some extra napkins somewhere if you need them to blow your nose.” of course, she was teasing him, knowing that their time together was limited and wanted to make the most of it while trying to keep it light and fun! “you look amazing, by the way.” // @ofloudvoices
“Not yet, no” Clem said and shook his head with an amused smile on his face. It was starting to dawn on him that this would be his last party here at Gallagher. He was so close to the finish line, so close to graduating. It almost gave him goosebumps. “Oh look who is talking. You look like an actual goddess but you already knew that” Clem teased and then nudged her.
