     despite the two toned hair, a cinderella costume from the kid’s section dressed over her baggy jeans and smudged eyeliner, chai’s heart was POUNDING as she practically jogged past the shops and bars downtown. the sole thought on her mind was how she wished she could run faster to shake off the feeling she’s being followed, if only it weren't for the acoustic guitar that towered behind her, strapped onto her back. it took only a couple of glances over her shoulder, and her paranoia became reality. sighing, her usual internal battle commences. chai weighs out her options, the LAST thing she wants to do is approach someone with HER problems, maybe she could ditch the guitar and —

" HEY !! wait up ! " the words fell out of her mouth unrehearsed, calling out to the first person that fell into her line of sight, speeding towards them, her tone became almost a whisper. " hey. " exhausted, she holds a finger up as a plead for a second to catch her breath. " i’m SO sorry. this fuckin’ weirdo, 8 o'clock, don't look. help ... ? — let's just, let's just keep walking, please ? "

He had been working for twenty hours straight, and when there was mention of a party, all Milo heard was free booze. He threw some water on his face and pressed his knuckles so deep into his eyes he saw white, all he wanted to do was sleep, but he knew that if he could swipe enough alcohol from the party there wouldnt be a worry about where rent would come from for the next few days. Ragged black shirt and deep blue jeans were all he donned as he made his way into the noisy event. He had been going from inside the party to ‘smoke breaks’ with arms filled with liquor bottles. On the third trip to his car he was pretty sloshed, but he was still standing, he pushed through the dizziness and grabbed another bottle when he felt a pair of eyes on the back of his neck “if you dont rat me out, I’ll give you half the loot” he smirked before turning around and letting his face turn to stone “or we could scrap?” he offered with a shrug, a small smile playing out on his lips.

Whenever Hailee had a stressful day in Crawford she always went to her secret spot to be alone and away from the world. She found it a space where she could drop her facade and just breathe, which wasn’t something she found herself doing often. The girl popped her headphones in and sat down underneath the tree’s shade, allowing the music to transport her elsewhere. Since she had returned to Crawford she had no idea how many people frequented the area, but she still wanted to pretend like it was her own secret. As she was beginning to drift off she noticed feet in the distance and figured she would have to be polite. “I didn’t realize other people came here.” She sighed as she took her headphones out of her ears. “Long day? Same. It’s kind of nice just getting away sometimes, you know?”

as a crack of lightning caused a fair amount of the cabin guests to flinch, ezra dropped his bag onto his lap, rifling through it and checking his supply. he figured now was prime time to set up shop, even though capitalising on people’s boredom and fear was probably not the most ethical thing to do. as he took stock of his supply, he felt the couch shift beside him and raised an eyebrow, continuing to look through his things, “do you need something or are you just lonely?” he asked, glancing sideways at them as he waited for a response.

            “do you happen to have a lighter?” nate’s tone was soft, and his voice groggy and almost weak, making it clear that he was exhausted. as if his slightly narrowed eyes and very noticeable bags weren’t enough to give it away. he had just finished a long shift. and today was pay day. so where did he go first while walking home from work? the local convenience store to purchase himself a well deserved packet of cigarettes. he hadn’t had them in so long. he needed it. “don’t worry, it’s not as if i’ll steal it. and...i’ll even offer you a smoke?” he flicked open the packet with a single, swift movement, holding up the box for the other.

        “you know what would really suit you? purple,” the girl squinted her eyes, biting her lip as her eyes danced over the other’s body. “in the least weirdest way possible, i’d love to see you in something purple. you know? not like a really out there, royal or electric purple but maybe a nice soft lavender or lilac, you know?” she had yet to realize she was totally rambling. “it would really bring out your eyes too,”

Bar None | Open Starter

The girl had just arrived to town and she spent the last two days unpacking her things, what she had left at least. Alexandra wanted to take the edge off, so she went to the closest bar she had seen since arriving. Sitting down she quickly got a few drinks in her, a little while later she heard a group of people cheering to the left of her, lifting her glass up to cheers as if they were in the same group, “Come on, are you not going to join in?” she asked the person beside her.
