effie.

she’s standing on the tips of her toes, arm reaching out for the last box of coffee filters she knows she saw when she took a few steps back in the aisle to see if there were still some to begin with, but even on her toes it seemed the brunette wasn’t tall enough to grab them. letting out a loud, heavy sigh she looked around the aisle, leaning back slightly as she spotted someone. “ hey, as much as i hate asking… you’re taller than me, so could you grab that thing of coffee filters for me? “ she asked.

daniel detested the grocery shopping and it was a given by how empty his part of the fridge always seemed to be. it was clear by the look on his face as he kept his basket by his side, taking the can he was holding with his hand to his lip, something he still had to pay for. he hadn’t realized there was someone else in the store until he could hear her voice calling out for him. pressing his lips together he walked up to where she stood, reaching for the pack she was asking for, eyes gazing the shelf to realize it was the last one. “ this ? ” he gazed at her for a second before looking back at the box. a smirk was trying to curve upon his lips but daniel kept it from happening and, although playfully, in hopes of getting a little entertainment off this trip, he walked past her without handing what had been asked of him and without a word he waited a reaction.

addison.

“Cat or dog?”  Addison questioned the person she had just approached. “Or fish?”  She continued, with a small laugh.  “I’m taking a survey to figure out which one I should adopt, so whichever one wins the survey is set to be my newest companion.  Also thoughts on indoor skydiving?”

“ dogs! was that a real question ? ” daniel’s reply was instant without a single thought even though his eyebrows slowly raised at her questions. “ would that be your plan for when you get a pet? ”

ghalia.

ghalia’s morning routine always consisted of visiting her favorite cafe and getting her caramel iced coffee that brought her an odd amount of comfort. she spent more time at la esperanza than probably necessary, but she couldn’t help but chat up the employees and other customers since, well… she pretty much knew everyone already. everyday out and about was a day of familiar faces or catching up, especially over the summer. she was hovering near the door for too long, having a conversation with someone practically across the room and one hand on the handle, just about to leave, and was caught off mid sentence (honestly? probably for the best) as the door flung open towards her. the immediate reaction was embarrassment for stumbling over herself afterwards, but upon seeing who was behind it, her worries eased just a bit and instead she let out a laugh herself. “dear god lea, are you trying to knock me out?”

when eleanor could recognize the familiar voice, realizing who she had just bumped into, it was a foregone conclusion the female couldn’t control the laughter that ran through her lips. “ i am sorry, it was completely intentional.” those last words with a complete tone of playfulness to them.. ”you should be thankful though, that you have a friend who can tell you good morning this creatively. ” trying to put a stop to the giggling was almost an impossible task but breathing in deeply eleanor looked up to her friend. “ are you okay though ? sure you don’t need me to nurse you again or anything  ?”

“ depends... what kind of fish ? and how big would the aquarium be ? ” crossing her arms in almost playfulness eleanor responded with a smile. “ i mean it’s not skydiving...but it’s fun. what does that have to do with pets though ? ”

elena.

elena felt like she lived in la esperanza cafe more than she lived at home. getting her vanilla latte was the only thing that got elena through the day. the brunette honestly felt like the workers of the coffee shop were her second family, she was always in there chatting with them and hearing all their stories. she also enjoyed seeing who would walk come through the cafe and catching up with all of her friends. elena looked down at her phone and looked at the time. “oh geez, I have to babysit my little sister soon and if i don’t go, my dad will send a search warrant for me.” she waved bye to the man she was talking to, took one last sip of her latte and she tossed it in the trash on her way. as soon as the brunette put her hands on the door handle, she felt the door swing open and the brunette stumbled backwards. “oh-oh my gosh…” she took a deep breath and looked up. “lea! i know we haven’t talked in a while but this is your plan to greet me?” the brunette laughed slightly and she put her arms out to give her longtime friend a hug. “i’ve missed you!” 

giggles ran through soft lips as eleanor’s arms wrapped around her friend’s. it had been awhile since the brunette had heard the other’s voice. she had never thought of herself as someone who would let go of a friendship even if they stood on different parts of the world but new york surely brought up this side of the beaumont’s daughter she disliked too much. it was also one reason she’d always come to the cafe, every morning. besides the warm feeling of home, maria certainly made the best latte macchiato she had ever tasted. maybe it was because it was andalusia. nothing would ever feel as great as home would it ? “ oh my god...i am so sorry. ” eleanor spoke still with arms wrapped around the other’s frame, still laughing off the accident even though she meant her apology, it was something the female simply couldn’t ever control. “ well, you know me. always need to make a grand entrance.” with a smile on her lips and a playful shrug she took a step back to greet elena. “ i’ve missed you too...wow. ” eleanor was finally finding herself taking a deep breath. “ how are you ? god...we should get together for coffee someday. i really miss that. plus, i need all chances i can get to make up for this very violent behavior of mine.”

heey ana here again with more more character ‘cause i have no control !? &. i thought i’d leave this here before i actually go get breakfast and get to some replies. meet madelyn ferell, my angel. like this or hit me up if you’d like to plot !

she’s the love of my life okay ?! so this is madelyn ferell, mostly goes by lyn ‘cause she isn’t at all a formal person ?! she is the most easy-going person you’ll likely meet &. she is the sweetest thing i stg. she’s twenty eight and was born and raised here in andalusia. she’s a family person and really close to her parents and siblings so she stayed here through most of her life, although she does have a pretty adventurous spirit in her she’s most likely to definitely stay home than living far away from it. the one time she stepped away of this idea and moved out, she ended up getting engaged after college, moved with this guy she was completely and utterly in love with until she found out he had been cheating on her with one of her friends when she came clean about their affair the day before their wedding. she’s a sweetheart but once hurt it’s really difficult for her to forgive when she’s betrayed like that so on her wedding day she confronted her fiance about it and by the end of that day the engagement was called of, she had her bags packed and a one way ticket back home. she never told her family the real reason why the whole thing was called off that day and it’s a part of her life she wants to keep out although it always hunts her and has prevented her from being in a happy relationship for a LONG TIME ?! like when things start to get really serious she starts backing away because she’s not sure she can trust someone like that again to be hurt ?! she has a little three year old named addison from a previous relationship that didn’t work out, highly likely over her trust issues ( possible wanted connection here woops ) but they ended on good terms and the little girl is still close to both ! oh &. she is a waitress at la esperanza cafe, she’s that welcoming, motherly like figure and it honestly feels like perfect for that familiar environment plus she loves connecting with people ?! if anyone is in need of a friend she’s always there ?! she hears more than she actually talks about her self, she’s pretty secure of herself and gives good advice ( the best she can tbh ) but you hardly hear her telling like deep things about her life, talking about her past, mostly because of what happened ! &. this got long i’m sorry omg 

[ofthcsun-blog]

i really don’t know how i was able to stay up this late tbh lmao but my eyes are shutting on me so i’m calling it a night <3 i am going to get more things going for eleanor and daniel by tomorrow, hit me up if you want to plot or get a starter going! &. also i am reserving an amber heard fc ‘cause i just can’t keep myself from not adding her lol she’s my angel. but i am too tired to figure out a secret ?! i’m still stuck on  if to make her a kindergarten/elementary school teacher or a waitress at the local cafe too tbh ‘cause she’s honestly cuteness in person but still pretty confident and sure of herself. she’s like that kind of people that appears to be an open book ‘cause they’re open to talk, care, advise until you realize there isn’t a lot you truly know about them !? if you have any wanted connections where she could fit hit me up &. we can plot something !! and awkwardly i leave have a good night loves <3

jay.

jay rolled his eyes at eleanor’s comment. “that’s completely untrue,” he said, although he was now curious to see if he did look older when he frowned. “teenagers are just assholes sometimes. i mean, i was an asshole sometimes, but i didn’t tell teachers that they look like they came out of a crypt.”

a laugh had definitely escaped as he spoke, maybe at her own words. “ but i am pretty sure you thought it, tough. ” raising one eyebrow the female’s gaze stayed focused on him. 

[ofthcsun-blog]

eleanor was doing everything in her power to avoid a conversation to ever fall on her family’s table at any given time of the day. avoiding talking about college was something that was starting to become a routine but yet, lea has always been best at dodging conversations than having to lie, which has definitely never been her strongest suit. closing the front door before the couple was awake for breakfast was more than a constant, making her way to her usual spot. la esperanza cafe. fingers tightly wrapped around the door hold as the brunette pushed the door open, unable to realize the was someone just on the other side of the door that certainly wasn’t expecting her either. “ oh my...crap. are you okay ? ” the female questioned as she entered, questioning if the other had been hurt. she couldn’t help but cover her lips, wanting to giggle at the situation until the urge was far too much for her to take and the female let a laugh escape her lips.

pippa.

      ♕ — a wide smile appeared on the blonde’s face, turning on the heel of her feet, ‘ don’t you think it’s great here? i mean, coming here is definitely the HIGHLIGHT of my year. ’ and there was no lie to that, especially not with the wild rollercoaster of a time she had had the past few months. 

“ it is great but it wouldn’t make me that excited ! ” eleanor’s lips were curved into a soft smirk, eyebrows raised as she felt assuredly amused by the female’s enthusiasm. “ it’s more of the same small town. nothing really changes. ”

jay.

“You know, I hate to sound like an old man, but I swear, some kids must make it their mission to make substitutes’ days a living hell. Some sixteen year old girl called me ancient today, and didn’t believe me when I said I was twenty-five. Another tried to throw all the papers I gave them to hand out out the window. I don’t – were we this bad as high-schoolers? Fuck.”

“ you do make this frown thing when you’re trying to be serious that definitely puts an extra...ten years on you. ” shrugging ever so casually eleanor couldn’t help but let the playful comment to escape her lips, sold by the way a smirk appeared on her features.

hey loves <3 i am ana aka the awkwardness in person, i’m from the gmt+1 timezone ( because i might have actually forgotten we’re already on summer’s schedule lol )  &. i go by she/her pronouns. i am the absolute worst with introductions istg but as i’ve been procrastinating a bunch on making a bio page for these two i put a little bit ( i planned for it to be a little bit okay i’m sorry ) of the both of them under the cut ! i’d love all of the cuteness &. angst for them so hit the like button if you’d like to plot and i’ll be sure to shower you with all the love <3

this is eleanor beaumont. she’s only a beaumont for her father’s part as she was born from an affair he had while he worked away on the city ( which he does a bunch, he’s hardly ever present ) ! when her mother showed up at his door, lea was still a baby and she told him she couldn’t keep her so he’d stay with her. the beaumonts pretty much took her and for everyone else outside of the family she is actually a full blooded beaumont. she obviously has never felt like part of the family, she was always the one who couldn’t ever be good enough for her mom ‘cause she was that constant reminder her husband had cheated on her so she kind of took that she couldn’t ever be perfect and wouldn’t care for causing some trouble. she isn’t a complete wreck but most of the time she doesn’t even care about the consequences of what she does ( and when i say most of the time I MEAN MOST OF THE TIME lol ) she’s honestly pretty fun to be around, she’s a great friend, like one who’d go to the end of the world for someone although she can be really honest &. blunt when she wants to be and mostly when she shouldn’t. although she’s defiant and honestly doesn’t hold back when she’s feelings attacked she isn’t one who really likes fights, she strays away from it when she can ( she’s like someone who will always be smiling and very likely acting like a dork, confident and carefree ). her label is the aquaphile because she literally lives for being close to water ! she also has this huge love for surf and has participated on some competitions withing the state and out. she was born and grew up in andalusia but she moved to new york for college with her best friend, well, at the time and has only been coming here for the summer to be with her family, ‘cause even though it’s all a mess she loves her siblings with everything in her. her secret is that she’s lying to her family about being kicked out of nyu which has been a college she always dreamed of going, mostly a college her parents love! a lot of things happened for her in new york and with her falling out with her best friend she stopped showing up to most classes, almost becoming a wreck of herself and everything just went downhill and she kind of lost herself ?! this summer she’s actually trying to find herself again ?! ‘cause she misses being the all carefree, adventurous and easy going eleanor without getting into fights and being back home makes her feel like that.

meet daniel adams, my lil troubled boy. even  though he was born in san diego he’s always been close to his mother’s side of the family that is from andalusia. when daniel was young his father took the wrong rail and began taking his drug addiction a little too far, ending up in jail. his mother knew this couldn’t be the life she should give her son so she left san diego and moved here with him so they’d stay with her family. he’s not very close to his father but the man happens to contact him sometimes when he’s out, then when he’s back in jail again for another crime and that’s something daniel surely keeps from his mother. it’s always been the two of them since then. this kind of made daniel grow kind of a tough front, like nothing would hurt him but mostly because he’s so protective of the ones he holds close ?! like, everyone would think he’s careless and doesn’t give a damn sometimes by the way he acts but mostly all of the times he gets into trouble it is to protect a friend or his family! he hardly puts himself first when it comes to anything, but only when people he’s close with. and this gets to his secret that is he went to juvy for a crime he didn’t actually commit. he pretty much took the fault to protect a friend. being someone with a juvy record has definitely helped him get this “fame” of being a trouble maker but really he is a cute pie who will actually cuddle you all of the damn time if he feels like he can let his walls down with you !?

I liked that about her. She was unpredictable. Sometimes the things she said and did were surprising. Sometimes they disturbed me. But she was exciting, and that’s what I liked most. She was so many, many things but she was never once boring.
