          “ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴍᴇ? ” evan asked and looked at rachel with a curious expression on his face. what do you say about her? “ oh, uh… ” he took a deep breath, shrugging both of his shoulders a little, while trying to figure out what to say to that. “ i didn’t really know her, ” he said and smiled weakly, which wasn’t a lie per say. “ i know she could be pretty horrible towards people, but i also think that… if you really knew her, then she could be pretty okay. i think your friends, your closest friends, will always know who you are as a person. not that persona you put on in front of others, ” evan spoke and swallowed against the lump in his throat. “ no matter what she did, she didn’t deserve what happened to her… ”

“Damn. You managed to answer that question without giving a single thing away about how you really feel. The perfectly crafted response,” she teased, leaning in closer as her eyes followed his, dancing with amused curiosity. “Tell me, are you a politician or just a libra?”

“ if you’re thinking orgy i have the perfect spirit for you.” he smirked.” in fact, she told me just today she loves three at a time– but because you didn’t have the king of the cinematic experience quentin tarantino directing i wont be showing up for the party.”

“You think Quentin Tarantino’s gonna direct the perfect orgy? Damn, might as well just come out with it and tell me you have an insatiable foot fetish,” she teased, punctuating the jab by pulling her legs onto the table to show off her socks. “You know, that isn’t the kink I would’ve pegged you for. No judgments, of course.”

“So sit on the floor.” Hayden exaggerated, glancing up with mischief in her eyes for a brief moment before she was focusing on her laptop again. Her freshly painted fingertips clicked away as she made editing notes for herself and nearly forgot about her new companion. “Is the library your usual napping spot?” She finally wondered aloud. 

“Shhh,” she hushed her automatically, but her lips tugged into a smile and she cracked open an eye to get a peak at her reaction. “I’m not napping. I’m resting my eyes. I have like an hour and half between classes so it’s quicker to come here than walk all the way to the house and then have to just come right back. Besides, if I time it right I can nap, grab a bite to eat, and get some problem sets done.”

both of his eyebrows shot up in a small shock when rachel let out her words. he took a step into her room before he leaned against the wall as she pointed to the other half of the bed that was empty. was she really offering or was she playing into the game he was trying to play? he never quite never with the blonde and maybe he enjoyed it just a little bit. “don’t play with a man’s heart, rachel. it’s cruel.” he let out and chuckled a little bit. “unless you’re…serious? yes? no? maybe?”

Rachel rolled her eyes, tugging her legs free of the comforter and rising from the bed in nothing but an oversized t-shirt and a well-worn pair of lacy underwear. “Alex, I could not be trying any less to play with your heart. I don’t know how much more transparent I could’ve been, but whatever. I’m up now. Dream’s dead. Hand me that deodorant.”

“And what about you?” Rachel asked with a curious tilt of her head. She’d heard rumors and, without having known her too well when she was alive, they’d definitely influenced her opinion of the girl. Though she didn’t have much of an opinion at all beyond amusement at the dramatics of people’s reactions and a vague sadness for a young life lost. “What do you say about her?”

But I did become sadder, and sadness gets boring after a while, for the sad person and for everyone around them.

“ would it be as good if it didn’t?” he teased before leaning back up from the table. hazel hues still locked on her own before a quirked brow flashed over his features.” sounds like you have the miracle cure for an entire grieving campus.” 

“Hey, it cures crying; I never said anything about grief. Although... it couldn’t hurt. This campus is stiff as hell. I think we could all use a good... accommodation,” her lips curled into a wicked smirk as she reached up to pull her hair out of its ponytail, if only to give her hands something to fidget with. “A post-murder orgy. Who should direct the movie spinoff? Kubrick a la Eyes Wide Shut or Mary Harron?”

“Works as both,” Kit mused before nodding. “How about we share it instead? Cause I’m not about to let you leave before you at least get a few bites.” he winked. “Honestly, nobody can blame you, it’s been a wild couple of days and rest just seems like a luxury.”

“Fine, but I’m not splitting the cost,” she insisted with a cheeky wink. The last thing she wanted was to dilute the alcohol in her system, but it wasn’t a bad idea to have a few bites. If only to get him off her back. “How are you doing with everything? You okay?” 

[rachbryant]

alexdelgvdo‌:

“yeah, we were supposed to bang later.” he teased and shrugged. “kidding. we were supposed to do something, i forgot. i thought you remembered, honestly.” he let out as he walked into the room and looked at the blonde.

“If you wanted to get in my pants, all you had to do was ask,” she smirked, rolling over and making a show of pointing to the empty half of the bed, a playful invitation to join her. “That is... if I were wearing pants.”

a soft chuckle escaped from pink lips as she gave a shake of her head, “for most of my school years, i was in an all girl’s boarding school and that wasn’t the game of choice. even when i was a foreign exchange student for my last tow years of high school, everyone seemed BORED by it already.”

“Ew, that’s the most boring thing I’ve ever heard,” Rachel insisted, raking her fingers through the tangled ends of her hair. “Literally. And I’m a math major. But you kissed me, right? Does that mean you’re playing right now? Truth or dare?”

a laugh erupted from her lips, quickly covering her mouth with her hand, realizing she should probably be a bit quieter. “damn, i know that gut wrenching, ‘fuck’ moment anywhere. she say her notebooks on the table and pulling out the chair as she spoke, “the acid rabbit certainly has nothing on anyone.” she mused, sitting. “long night?” she asked, knowing she wasn’t going to study anytime soon if she could keep herself busy; she could at least put it off by another hour or so.

“You can definitely say that,” she snickered, dragging a hand through her hair and pulling roughly whenever it snagged on the tangles. “Fuck, nighttime is just so much more exciting than daytime, you know? I’m just meant to be nocturnal. Like a witch. Or a... vole.” The silence only lasted a second before she broke out in a fit of laughter. “I’m a fucking vole!”

natedelgado‌:

“ just being accommodating.” he smirked while watching on as the blonde leaned further back the moment he pressed forward.” you might make me cry with Trebek talk.” his tone playful while keeping his focus flitting over her features.

“You make it sound so filthy,” she quips, adjusting her position again. This time to wrap her arms around her folded up legs, her chin resting on her knees and a saccharine smile on her lips. “You know the perfect cure for crying? Accommodating.”

“don’t concern yourself over that right now,” the boy mused as he returned the baseball cap to her. “it’s like 4:30pm, so if you haven’t eaten here.” kit smiled as he passed over the food he had just ordered for himself. “i’d offer you a makeup wipe, but i really don’t have any.”

“What is this, a late lunch or an early dinner?” she grinned, popping a bite into her mouth before sliding the plate back. “You eat. I’m not hungry, but you’re a doll for thinking of me. Where’s my-- oh,” she cut herself off when she found her Starbucks cup, diluted now that all the ice had melted. “Can you believe I just fell asleep here for like, forty five fucking minutes?”

     “ ꜰᴏʀɢᴇ ᴀ ɴᴏᴛᴇ? ɪ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅɪᴅ ɪɴ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴄʜᴏᴏʟ. ɴᴏᴛ ᴜɴɪ. ” the grin on his lips widened and he shook his head, before letting his eyes find the girl’s face again as she spoke about how the professors would probably be a-okay with it this week given the circumstances. “ yeah, good point.. they probably will be. to be honest, i’m surprised there are classes, you’d think that they’d shut it down for at least a couple of days. ” shaking his head, he moved the pen to his mouth and he started chewing on the end, which was a bad habit of his since he was young. “ everything is just a mess right now. people are scared it will happen again. i’m surprised people are even showing up to school at this point. ”

“You start in high school so you can get really good at it by college,” she laughed, leaning back in her chair until it only balanced on two legs. “Like math. And sex.” Her nose crinkled as shot him a wink. “I would’ve liked a few days off, but honestly there was no need. I mean, it’s not like the whole school knew her. I didn’t know her.”

natedelgado‌:

at her question he leaned forward against the table, folding his arms up and resting his chin against them.” i have a sick lust for getting inside someones head, so i guess you could say that.” he mused back.” you always this dodgy?”

“Getting inside someone’s head...” she echoed with furrowed brows and an intrigued grin. “I take it you don’t just mean understanding someone. But that begs the question, why tell me about your sick lust. Or does it make it that much more enticing when someone knows you’re just going to fuck them up and lets you do it anyway?” She held his gaze a moment longer before snorting, leaning back in her chair far enough that one shift of her weight could send her toppling backwards. “Rarely dodgy. Often accommodating. Anymore questions, Trebek?” 

[rachbryant]

natedelgado‌:

“ you so sure about that? maybe it’s similar to child antics pretending to drown– seeing who cares.” he quipped, sinister words challenging her stand while looking on as she lazily affirmed her answer he accepted the offer, taking a seat across from the blonde.” you always this accommodating?” a hint of a smirk on his lips as hazel hues flitted over her features trying to pull in on any insight.

“All it takes is one time to realize they aren’t actually happy that you didn’t drown. They’re just mad at you for scaring them,” she replied with a breezy smirk, automatically reaching for her cup before remembering it was empty. Instead, she tucked her hands under her legs and met his gaze. “Are you always this inquisitive?”
