     ⌠ NAOMI SCOTT, 24, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER ⌡ welcome back to gallagher academy, RAINA VIRANI! according to their records, they’re a FOURTH year, specializing in MEDICAL 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 (velvet scrunchies, hair bouncing as she walks, summer sun on your skin). when it’s the (virgo)’s birthday on 9/1/1997, they always request their STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE from the school’s chefs. looks like they’re well on their way to graduation.

“And then you would walk barefoot?” she wonders, laughing softly. “The heels complete the full look!” And thus even if her feet hurt, she will withstand it for the sake of the overall look. “Why do you feel like an imposter? The colors look amazing on you!” She grins. “Thank you!” Will never tire of compliments on her look.

     “actually, now that i think about it...” her nose scrunches a little, she didn’t think about how dirty the floor might be at this point of the evening. “i might just have to suffer through it.” plus, she wouldn’t want to drag her friend’s dress across the floor. with the heels, the dress is a good enough length without it dragging. “i just have never worn anything like this,” she admits with a laugh, shaking her head.

levi.

“You’re going to be getting a lot of compliments. I’m just the beginning of it,” he points out, but he’s pretty sure she’s already gotten compliments before he saw her, too. “Ohh, that’s why I asked if that’s Raina Virani.” He chuckles. Makes sense. “Definitely not a mistake. It’s your final party here, be the center of attention.”

     “then i guess i’ll have to get used to it,” she teases, knowing full well she won’t get used to it at all. raina nods her head, laughing softly. “exactly, i feel like she was a little overzealous with it.” and she always wonders how faith just has things like this in her closet. “i’m sure i’m not the center of attention, i’m surprised so many dressed up for this.”

callum.

cal’s eyes ran down her again, following the track of her hands, and he brings his gaze back up only when she places her hands on his shoulders. he was going to have a difficult time looking anywhere but at her tonight. “just say the word,” he tells her, smiling back at her. he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. his voice dropped low enough that she would be the only one to hear. “i’m hoping i won’t have to wear it for long,” he teased.

     raina’s lips spread into a smile, and she steps closer to him as he wraps her arms around her, head resting on his chest for a moment. it’s bittersweet, their last party together at gallagher, but she’s more excited for what their futures hold. his comment makes her laugh, looking up at him with her head tilted slightly. “careful, mr. donovan. keep it up, and we’ll have to leave our last gallagher event early.”

carmen.

“Can I go with you?” Carmen asked her with a slight groan. She was missing her converse. It wasn’t like she had never worn heels before but there was a reason she stuck to shoes with better arch support. “Or maybe just barefoot.”

     “absolutely,” she says with a smile, offering her friend her arm. “barefoot or flats really is the choice we have to make. i feel like at this point in the evening, the floor might be stickier than it was at first. you know how many times i’ve seen someone drop a drink or spill it?” raina shakes her head as she pauses before continuing. “too many times.”

cori​.

“  if  there’s  one  for  jackets  and  stuff  then  they  should  also  accept  shoes  or  it’s  discrimination ,  raina .  we  can  sue .  ”  parker  did  law  or  something ,  they’ll  figure  it  out .  “  —  want  me  to  run  there  for  you ?  i’m  SUPER  fast .  though  if  you  take  off  yours ,  i’ll  take  off  mine  and  we  can  be  naked  together .  ”  naked  feet ,   though  cori’s  not  opposed  to  taking  of  her  or  raina’s  dress . 

     “precisely,” she says with a laugh before shaking her head. “though i don’t think not having a shoe check in is grounds for a lawsuit. maybe next year they’ll just improve it.” raina won’t be here to benefit from it, but hopefully it’ll happen. “i don’t think it warrants running there, but i do appreciate your effort. but if you’re going to be barefoot with me, i don’t think we need to go to my dorm.”

jerome.

“Maybe? I mean, there’s a place for coats so there should be a spot for shoes.” It must suck wearing heels, he was glad that he never had to do the same. “I would say you can wear my shoes but… they would be too big on you.”

     “right, that’s what i was thinking. it at least has to be near it,” raina agrees, glad someone else does too. she laughs, shrugging a shoulder. “oh, it’s alright. i do feel like i would be a little clunky in your shoes.”

[rainafms]

calypso.

      “I really don’t see why you can’t go barefoot for a little!” Calypso encourages. “Or we could go sit for a little.” She smiles reassuringly, before her smile falls. She’s already emotional about so many of her friends leaving, but the idea of not having her roommates next year… “Oh, don’t mention the dorm.” She pleads, expression turning plaintive. “I can’t stand the idea of not living with you all next year.”

     “oh, you know, sitting seems a lot better than going barefoot. i’m sure there’s plenty of people that have dropped drinks on the ground,” she says, wrinkling her nose at just the thought of it. raina shakes her head, lips forming a pout as her friend mentions not living together next year. “oh, we could have waited to bring that up, callie,” she replies with a laugh. “but i knew waterproof mascara was the way to go tonight.” she’s not crying yet, but she knows she will be more than likely.

bea.

living with the girls of 308 had been one of the best parts of bea’s year. nothing could top her mom coming home, but spending nine months with three amazing girls who made her feel loved and supported had been pretty great. she was going to miss them like crazy, and as soon as she spotted raina, bea ran up to her and gave her a tight hug. “you look… hot.” @rainafms​

     raina’s arms instantly wrap around the other, squeezing her tight because she’s already feeling emotional about graduation. but she’s glad that bea distracts her. she smiles as she looks at her friend, “please. have you seen yourself? you look like an actual princess.”

clement.

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”

     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.”

[rainafms]

kiki.

                       ❝ i don’t think so but i heard if you slip the coat check attendants a ten , they’ll take shoes .  wanna test out the theory ? ❞

     “i don’t see any harm in trying. i don’t see any cons to giving my feet a little bit of a break. and i’m sure other people’s feet are killing them.”

[rainafms]

callum.

“remind me to thank her,” he said, unable to help as his eyes dipped and he watched her walk toward him. cal’s gaze met hers quickly with her admission, and his brows furrowed. “are you uncomfortable?” he asked, hands moving to her waist. “want my jacket?” he would happily let her wear it if need be. 

     raina lets out a soft laugh when callum replies, at least he doesn’t think it’s too much. “oh, no. i just think i’m not used to all this,” she says, looking down at the dress that faith had picked. her hands go up and rest on his shoulders. “no, i’m okay,” she replies shaking her head as she smiles up at him. “plus you look so good in it, i don’t think i could take it away from you.”

[rainafms]

faith.

“Too much ? You look stunning,” the female called out, giving her a dismissive wave of her hand before her arm wrapped around the female’s side. “A lot is exactly what we need - bitch we’re graduating.”

     raina appreciates faith’s boost in confidence, but she still feels out of place. “don’t even go there,” she says, leaning into her best friend. “i think i might cry.” she already almost started crying when they were getting ready.

[rainafms]

eden.

“I hope that whatever agency you are with is deserving of whatever snacks and treats you bring to the office! Where did you end up being placed?” The younger smiled up at her friend.

closed @rainafms​

     “oh, i already feel like i’ll be stress baking a lot.” raina lets out a laugh at eden’s words, but she’s onto something. raina hopes her future coworkers have a sweet tooth! “i’m going to be in atlanta working for the fbi. kind of doesn’t seem real yet.”

[rainafms]

tigs.

“ i’d offer to swap but, ” he glances down at their shoes. he’s wearing boots. “ probably not the right fuckin’ size, eh? ”

     raina follows, looking down at his boots before shaking her head. “i think we might be out of luck,” she says shrugging a shoulder. “though i do think these heels would go great with your outfit.”

[rainafms]

levi.

@rainafms​​

“Wait, is that… Raina Virani?” In his entire time knowing Raina, he never thought he’d see her in a dress like that, but he’s definitely not complaining. He leans down to hug her. “You look beautiful. Ending the year with a bang, huh?”

     she feels her cheeks warm at levi’s reaction, rolling her eyes at him. “stop,” she says with a laugh as she wraps her own arms around him. “i let faith decide what i was going to wear. still trying to figure out if that was a mistake or not.”

[rainafms]

nur.

“Unfortunately not! Though, that is a good idea. I think this is a common complaint.” Her brows furrow slightly. “Maybe rest for a bit?” she suggests, because she thinks the heels look so well on the dress and the flats might affect the look! “You look gorgeous.”

     “maybe we should, i feel like that would be such a great addition to the party.” though she definitely wouldn’t want to walk around barefoot either, so she’s guessing that maybe it is a good thing they don’t have one. raina’s lip turn into a pout at the compliment, “oh, thanks. i feel like such an imposter but you,” she pauses for an emphasis. “you look amazing!”
