ofspeedinglights​:

Eating some snacks they had found that were thankfully vegan friendly, Dana looked at Imogen and felt their cheeks once again heat up at the compliment. “Oh.. hah wow” they whispered, not really used to people being so kind and upfront about what they felt about their fashion. “Thank you so much. You are really pretty as well. People will for sure stop and stare”

she’s  not  trying  to  make  anyone  bashful ,  she  just  can’t  not  compliment  people  apparently !  it  doesn’t  help  the  only  thing  she’s  been  interested  in  is  fashion  so  she  can’t  help  embrace  it .  “  oh  ,  thanks  —  i’m  usually  more  colourful ,  i  swear ! ”   imogen  smiles ,  she  rarely  wore  all  black  but  she  didn’t  mind  it  tonight  .  eyes  fall  to  dana’s  snacks .  “ that  looks  good  —  what  flavour  is  it  ?  ”

noahwxrd​:

She turns over when someone calls for her name and smiles at the familiar face. She’s never talked to Imogen last year, but she knows enough about her from Caden and she’s been looking forward to meeting her. “Hi, Imogen! Unfortunately, we haven’t. But never too late, right? It’s nice to finally meet you.” She gives the other a friendly and wide smile. “Welcome back to Gallagher. How does it feel being back? You look very pretty.” 

there’s  an  ease  within  her  as  soon  as  noah  smiles  and  she’ll  curse  herself  for  being  so  silly ,  so  nervous  as  her  palms  feel  sweaty  while  they  hold  themselves  .  “  no ,  not  too  late  at  all .  ”  she  laughs ,  fingers  lifting  to  tuck  a  strand  of  her  hair  away .  “  — and  you  !  i’ve  heard  a  lot  about  you .  ”  imogen  smiles  with  an  excited  nod .  though ,  caden  did  not  sufficiently  state  just  how  beautiful  she  was  so  imogen  will  yell  at  him  later . “  oh ,  thank  you .  you  look  incredible . and ,  uh ,  it’s ,  um ,  different .  ”  she’s  not  about  to  tell  noah  that  she’s  struggling ,   eyes  drifting  to  see  if  she  can  spot  allie  since  she’s  basically  her  safety  net  at  this  point .   she’ll  give  up  after  a  second  or  two .  “    i  mean ,  everything’s  kind  of  the  same  but  it’s  a  little  surreal  being  back .  ”

hudsonisms​:

       ARMS WRAP AROUND HER TIGHTLY for as long as she wants to hold him, pressing a quick kiss to the top of her head before they pull away. hudson had forgotten how calming her presence is, and it’s both amazing how fast and slow one year has really gone by.   “ i’ve missed you too, ”   he smiles, stuffing his hands into his pockets.   “ that’s great. i’m sure she loves having you home. do you think you’ll go to school over there ? ”   he asks, curious to know if they’ll ever be in the same country again.   “ i’m alright. i went back to georgetown this spring, to finish up some classes i had missed because of last year. just graduated, actually, ”   he adds, smile sheepish.   “ i’m looking into some peace corps programs to volunteer for, for the time being. ”   it hasn’t been easy to get his life back on track, and it’s still not completely ;   hudson’s just grateful he’s graduating.

as  she  receives  the  kiss  she  can  feel  her  eyes  want  to  water ,  starting  to ,  but  she’s  begging  herself  not  to  cry  right  now  and  will  look  up  at  the  ceiling  for  a  moment  or  two  to  prevent  it .  imogen  laughs  a  little ,  shaking  her  head .  “   no ,  i  think  she’s  sick  of  me  now .  um ,  i  think  so .  i  don’t  know ,  i  like  being  at  home  but . . .  i  think  it’s  probably  best  for  me  not  to  be .   ”  because  she’ll  never  leave  if  not ,  she’ll  just  become  a  hermit  forever !  “  oh ,  congratulations  !   i  wish  i  could  have  seen  you  in  your  little  cap  and  everything .  ”  she  smiles ,  teasingly ,  but  she  means  it  with  everything  she  knows  —  makes  her  regret  sitting  out  a  year .  eyes  widen  at  his  words ,  smile  growing .  “  hudson !  that  sounds  amazing !  i  can  so  see  you  doing  that  —  i  hope  you  get  to .  ”  she  nods ,  incredibly  eager  for  his  experience  though  she  has  no  doubt  he’d  be  accepted .

levimadden​:

“Didn’t take that long to convince you,” he says playfully, giving Imogen a grin. “A couple? Nonsense. You’re back for the night, might as well go all in.” It’s only seconds before he downs the shot, enjoying the burn it leaves. “Enjoying your time?”

“  i’m  a  people  pleaser ,  it’s  not  hard .  ”  imogen  admits  easily ,  soft  laugh  bouncing  from  her  lips .  “   hey ,  i’m  drinking  other  things ,  but . .  shots  are  lethal ,  and  i  don’t  want  to  forget  i  was  even  here .  ”  or  maybe  she  does .  who  knows  ?  she  hasn’t  spoke  to  caden  yet . . .  cue  taking  the  shot .  “  um . .  yeah .  it’s  kind  of  weird ,  really .  you’re  graduating ,  right  ?  ”  of  course  she’ll  change  the  subject .

harperkent​:

Just like her friend, she was beaming like no tomorrow. How she missed her best friends, especially Imogen. “Girl, fuck this dress and give me a hug.” Clothes and preserving their looks was important to Harper, but reuniting with friends and hugging them… That was more important than anything else. Arms wrapped around Imogen, pulling her tight and close and God does she miss this. “I’ve missed you so much. Also, you look hot as hell.” 

there’s  a  little  squeal  as  harper  responds ,  like  she’s  still  a  child  and  her  dad  said  she  can  have  sweets  before  dinner  as  long  as  she  doesn’t  tell  her  mum .  so ,  of  course ,  there’s  no  moment  of  hesitation  as  she  wraps  herself  around  harper ,  holding  her  as  long  as  she  can .  “   well ,  i  am  a  sinner .  ”  a  little  giggle  escapes ,  shaking  her  head . “  but  i’ve  missed  you ,  like ,  a  painful  amount .   it’s  unreal  you’re  in  front  of  me  right  now ,  so  . . .  you’re  coming  in  my  suitcase  back  home  with  me ,  okay ?  ”  not  a  question ,  a  demand.

                                             @oofimogen​

                                luce has imogen’s hands in hers, swinging them gently back and forth like can’t help falling in love is playing instead of darude sandstorm, slightly tipsy as she paces around in a circle, ring a ring o’roses kept for a spin and a half before she feels dizzy, giggles bridging the spaces of comfortable silence together. ‘   you wanna sleepover tonight? all of you guys can. we can have one big slumber party.   ’

imogen  kind  of  wants  to  ask  about  the  school  year  in  ways  she  never  felt  she  could  over  text  but  just  being  around  luce  is  so  comforting  she  doesn’t  feel  the  need  to .  almost  doesn’t  want  to  anymore  because  it  doesn’t  matter  if  the  blonde  is  still  here ,  being  luce .  “  i’d   LOVE  that .  ”  the  sleepover ,  not  so  much  sleeping  at  gallagher .  though  she’ll  ground  her  worries  with  the  idea  that  everyone  could  be  there  and  then  she  knows  she’ll  feel  safe .  “   my  pjs  are  in  allie’s  apartment ,  though .  ”  she  laughs ,  shaking  her  head .  “  and  . . .  well ,  i  don’t  really  know  what  she’s  doing  tonight .  ”  because  imogen  caught  her  leaving  outside  with  levi  earlier .

bcketts​:

– SHE WAS SO CONFIDENT UNTIL THEY GOT THERE, but now allie’s hesitating. a couple people know that she’ll be there : obviously she texted luce, ruby, and tilly, but she’s still scared that she’ll be unwelcome, because they’re OUTSIDERS when it comes to this, even if they’d been invited. “ well, you look stunning, ” she’s glad for the presence of imogen’s hand, lacing their fingers together more for herself than anything else. “ good to know i’m not the only one suddenly feeling super nervous. please tell me if i look as sweaty as i feel, and then we’ll find the drinks. ”

“  thanks , ”  the  little  smile  that  comes  is  genuine ,  soft  as  her  voice  is  quiet .  “  you ,  too . ”   a  small  squeeze  of  their  hands .  allie  and  imogen  were  always  bonded ,  first  as  best  friends ,  then  as  potential  soon  to  be  sisters  through  jeremy . . .  and  even  without  him ,  that  doesn’t  go  away .  but  they’re  also  bonded  in  the  way  they’d  both  left  boys  here  who  perhaps  mean  more  to  them  than  they’ll  admit .  facing  them  again  is  difficult  and  scary ,  even  if  they  weren’t  at  gallagher ,  but  since  they  are ,  it’s  even  more  difficult  and  scary .  imogen’s  index  finger  will  gently  tap  at  allie’s  forehead  once  or  twice ,  because  maybe  she’s  a  LITTLE  sweaty .  “  it’s  warm  in  here ,  that’s  all .  ”  she’ll  nod ,  convincing  herself .  “  i  just . . .  i  feel  like  if  we’re  going  to  bail  we  need  to  do  it  NOW . ”  a  nervous  laugh ,  she’s  tempted .  “  no  —  ignore  me .  we  should  stay ,  at  least  for  one  drink ,  anyways .  see  how  we  feel  after . . .   we’ll  be  fine .  ”  now  she  just  can’t  stop  rambling .  “  let’s  just  find  some  . ”  a  small  sigh  as  she  starts  walking  a  bit  closer  to  where  she  thinks  the  drinks  are .

cadenlucca​:

       HE’S BEEN LOOKING OUT FOR HER SINCE ARRIVING TO THE PARTY, knowing that the last time he had seen her had been exactly a year from now, at the last dance. they’ve kept in touch since then, here and there, but seeing her in person is a completely different feeling. caden’s lips pull into a smile, not bothering with formalities as he pulls her in for a hug.   “ hey, stranger. ”   he doesn’t let it linger for long, pulling away to beam down at her.   “ i’m so glad you could come. it’s really good to see you. ”

imogen  would  like  to  think  she  prepared  herself  for  this  —  no ,  she  knows  she  has  — and  yet  everything’s  gone  out  of  the  window  as  soon  as  he  smiles  at  her .  there’s  a  soft  laugh  as  she’s  pulled  into  a  hug  and  she  wished  it  didn’t  end ,  forgetting  how  familiar  she  was  with  him  being  so  close .  “  hi . ”  imogen  says  again ,  though  maybe  softer  this  time .  there’s  just  the  tiniest  fear  that  if  she  speaks  she  won’t  stop  and  they’ll  have  to  stop  eventually . “  me  too .  it’s  really  good  to  see  you ,  i . . um ,  i  missed  you  .  ”  it  comes  out  before  she  can  stop  it ,  sort  of  hating  how  true  that  is .  “  —  but ,  since  i  came  all  this  way ,  you  can’t  turn  down  a  dance ,  right  ?  ”

[oofimogen]

beafitz​:

“oh, thank you!” bea looked down at her sleeves, slightly embarrassed but flattered. “oh my god, stop,” she laughed. “i love your dress. the neckline? the pattern? i would marry it.” she was somewhat awkward when it came to receiving compliments, but she loved giving them, especially when they were well deserved.

as  soon  as  bea  laughs ,  imogen  does ,  too .  a  soft  lift  of  her  shoulders  as  to  say  there’s  no  way  she’s  stopping ,  not  when  bea  looks  like  that .  “  thank  you  !  we  can  have  a  ceremony  once  this  is  all  done  with ,  hopefully  there’s  some  champagne  left .  ”  imogen  beams  though  she  doubts  it .  “  —  maybe  beyonce  will  stay  for  it ,  too ,  i’m  quite  good  at  puppy  eyes .  ”

@gallagherstart​

Owen is just thinking about how he can leave early without having Aylin call him out for it later on. Even if no one is paying attention to him he still feels like the elephant in the room. “Do you, uh, did you want to sit here?” He asks the person that seems to be heading his way. 

luckily  for  owen ,  imogen  has  no  idea  he’s  an  elephant  in  the  room .  so  she’ll  stride  a  bit  quickly  toward  him ,  or  not  so  him ,  just  the  area  around  him .  “  oh , um ,  no  —  well ,  possibly .  but ,  i  don’t  remember  where  i  put  my  bag .  ”  imogen  laughs  gently .

levimadden​:

@gallagherstart​

“Hey, you’re doing shots with me,” Levi practically orders, handing over a shot to the person nearest to him with a grin on his lips, leaving them no choice. “I’m graduating tomorrow, so you can’t ​say no.”

“ oh— ”  imogen  opens  her  mouth  to  protest  until  the  glass  is  in  her  hand .  an  awkward  laugh  escapes ,  again ,  about  to  protest  until  he  speaks .  “  ah . .  okay ,  then .  only  a  couple ,  though .  ”

[oofimogen]

@beafitz​

there  are  two  things  keeping  imogen  distracted  from  her  thoughts  tonight :  alcohol  and  everyone’s  outfits .  she  can’t  help  but  fawn  over  the  amazing  dresses ,  wanting  to  compliment  every  single  person  she  sees .  imogen  can’t  quite  hold  it  in  when  she  sees  bea .  “  those  sleeves  are  fantastic .  ”  she  nods ,  and  now  she’s  started  the  conversation ,  she’ll  step  closer .  “  and  the  colour  ?  the  stars  !?  i  would  marry  that  dress .  ”

[oofimogen]

@ofspeedinglights​

imogen  is  on  the  hunt  for  some  snacks  but  all  she  finds  is  alcohol ,  which  she  won’t  turn  down .  on  her  journey  she  turns  to  dana ,  small  gasp  leaving  her  lips .  “  that  is  honestly  the  most  beautiful  dress  i’ve  ever  seen ,  ”  she  blinks  like  she’s  actually  in  shock .  “  you  look  so  so  nice .  wow . ” 

[oofimogen]

@harperkent​

"  miss  kent  !  "  imogen  calls  out  ,  a  beaming  smile  desperate  to  show  despite  her  attempt  to  conceal  it .  "  i've  missed  you  so  much  and  i  REALLY  want  to  give  you  the  biggest  hug  but  look  at  that  dress   !  i’m  not  worthy . "  

[oofimogen]

hudsonisms​:

        “ IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU, ”   hudson’s saying, unable to keep the smile off his face at the sight of his old friend. he probably hasn’t seen imogen since they were at gallagher last year, and while this isn’t exactly the place he’d choose to have a reunion – well, he’ll take it nonetheless.   “ how’s england ?   what have you been up to ? ”    @oofimogen​

it's  hard  for  her  to  stop  her  own  smile  ,  eyes  creasing  as  she  pulls  him  into  a  tight  embrace  .  she  needs  this ,  and  she'll  hold  the  hug  a  little  longer  than  she  planned  to . " i've  missed  you . "  imogen  says  quietly  before  pulling  away  ,  her  hands  finding  each  other  to  hold .  "  uh ,  it’s  good . . .  i've  been  working  with  my  mum  a  little . .  but ,  um ,  i'm  prepping  to  go  back  to  school  next  year  so  i've  been  doing  a  lot  of  catching  up ,  mostly .  "  in  a  lot  of  ways ,  not  just  academic .  "  how  have  you  been  ?  "

[oofimogen]

@noahwxrd​

" excuse  me ,   noah  ?  "  imogen  may  have  creeped  over  sneakily ,  circled  round  once  or  twice  with  a  drink  or  two  gulped  down  her  throat  until  she  found  the  courage  to  actually  approach  the  redhead  but  she  does  eventually  !   "  um ,  hi .  i  don't  know  if  we  ever  met  properly  last  year  . .  i'm  imogen  ?  caden's  . .  friend .  "  she  settles  on  after  a  touch  of  hesitation ,  nodding  her  head  slightly  as  she  smiles .   she’s  been  so  excited  to  meet  noah ,  she  doesn’t  know  why  she’s  this  nervous  now .
