        though they’d managed to retrieve most of her things from gorgias, she didn’t have it all. it seemed silly, having the essentials but caring so much about the stuff she didn’t need when it was just across campus, but tatum feels her anxiety edging up. growing up with near nothing meant she had a strange attachment to her belongings now –-she didn’t like the idea of living out of a backpack or having what she had taken away from her. her dorm at hatchett had been the best and most stable living situation in quite some time. she gnaws at the skin of her thumb, staring at the rain that had now simmered to a very light drizzle. “ do you think they’ll let us get the rest of our stuff? or... how long do you think it’ll be before we’re back in our rooms? ” @fiveamlights​

     after the news she’d received from parker, alex’s stomach stood in knots all day. she’d wanted to brush it off –- so what if fox hooked up with someone after the bonfire? he’d as good as told her it wasn’t going to be a thing, at least not now, so what reason did she have to care? still, there was something nagging about the idea of fox falling into bed with one of their mutual friends not long after alex had confessed her feelings, something that she found difficult to believe especially given parker’s relationship with q, and she just couldn’t help but want to ask. unusually quiet as they walk to class together, alex keeps her thumbs looped through the straps of her backpack and her gaze to the ground. it’s only when quincy dips his head down to catch her eye and bring her back to earth that she blinks, smiling at him when he asks if she’s okay. “ yeah. ” she nods, shrugging her shoulders. she’s nearly ready to let the opportunity get away from her, but cracks at the last moment. “ wait. ” she pauses, nearly stopping completely. “ i’m sorry. i have to ask.. i know it’s not my business, but parker... ” she huffs. “ did you sleep with fox after the bonfire? ” @fiveamlights​

⍟♉🍀 for alex!

⍟ any games on their phone? what kind? how often do they play?

      we absolutely know alex is a neko atsume stan, she loves tending to her kitties. probably enjoys messing around on candy crush too when she’s bored at the library and pretending to study. overall, her phone isn’t her fav way to game, but she enjoys using it to mindlessly mess around.

♉ what are their neighbours like? their relationship to them?

       back home, i’d say it’s hot and cold. her neighbours definitely feel bad for her because they had a relationship with her father, but at the same time, having alex as a neighbour isn’t always peaches and cream. after all, the 3am flips into their yard because she saw a rabbit run in there isn’t always appreciated..

🍀 what kind of jewellery are they wearing? what’s their favourite peace?

         alex rarely ever wears jewelry. she’s a no make up, no frills type of girl, mostly because she just can’t be bothered ( boy does she love lookin’ at those type of girls tho? ). she has basic earlobe studs that were given to her by her dad, and that’s pretty much all she wears. i don’t think she even owns any other pieces of jewelry.

ꕥ♋✯ for kenny!

ꕥ what’s usually in their trouser/jacket pockets or purse?

      kennedy usually keeps his phone in his jacket pocket at all times if he’s wearing one, and his wallet in his back pocket. if he’s snacking on the go, you might find a rogue wrapper or two, but he’s pretty good at remembering to empty them out.

♋ do they read any newspapers/magazines? what kind? what topics are they interested in? do they flip forward to the cartoon page first?

       he definitely reads the news, but as most people do now he does so through his phone or computer. he probably has it set to notify him daily and scrolls through world news and events just to keep up on anything... but considering news outlets, he usually takes commentary with a grain of salt. kennedy also keeps up with news in the medical field, he loves to read journals and updates of new things that are appearing.

✯ what do their texts look like? do they use emojis often? what kind?

        when he’s not studying, kennedy’s relatively easy to get ahold of (given that you’re his friend), so he texts back fairly quickly. he’s emotive in his texts, though he’s not a huge user of emojis, he does throw one in every now and then. usually just an emoticon, or a little peach emoji if he’s feeling cheeky. no pun intended.

     during a much-needed water break, alex clung to the bottle in her hand ( gifted by giada herself ). she pauses tentatively before turning to q next to her, warily approaching what she knows is a touchy subject. “ so, like... i love you.. but..  ” she shrugs, fingers drumming over the bench. “ i think you and parker should do the wheelbarrow race together. we haven’t won, like, anything... and your hands work better than your legs... ” she cringes immediately after it comes out, bracing for q’s reaction. @fiveamlights​

25, 27, 50!

25. do they get scared easily? does loud noises, shouting, etc, scare them?

she’s pretty numb, honestly. the only thing that really scares her is being abandoned.

27. what do they never, ever want to speak of, ever?

her father. only a select few people know what happened with him -- though she’ll sometimes let it slip when she’s had way too much to drink -- but it physically hurts her to talk, or even think, about him when she’s sober.

50. where do they see themselves in 2 / 5 / 10 years?

for a while, she honestly wasn’t even sure she’d make it 2 / 5 / 10 years. it’s slowly starting to come into focus more, but it’s still pretty hazy. mainly, she just wants to be happy at every increment of her life.
