‘ i appreciate your faith in me. ‘ // ‘ but… i have to smile. and i feel angry. but I want to love. and i’m hurt, but there’s hope. what is this? ‘ // ‘ you’re gonna get yourself killed. ‘ // ‘ i know i’m brilliant. ‘ // ‘ oh, so you do listen to me. ‘ // ‘ don’t do anything that stupid again. ‘

‘ i appreciate your faith in me. ‘ 

“it’s admittedly shaky at best, cause some days... I’m not so sure.” Lance gestured with his hand, shaking it in a ‘so-so’ gesture. 

‘ but… i have to smile. and i feel angry. but I want to love. and i’m hurt, but there’s hope. what is this? ‘

The older Davenport rose an eyebrow, he had never heard Kenzie talk like that, maybe she was watching too much Netflix. “Please tell me you’re quoting some sappy romcom or worse, Val. Is it Shakespeare? That one guy Oscar?”

‘ you’re gonna get yourself killed. ‘

“That’d be the point, besides... Char would avenge me.”

‘ i know i’m brilliant. ‘

Laughter erupted from him, blue eyes squeezing shut in mirth. “Don’t let anyone lie to you, you’re brilliant on the third Tuesday of every month. Which, funny enough, is not today.”

‘ oh, so you do listen to me. ‘

He paused, considering joking with her and lying and teasing her as he always did. This time it was different. “Yeah Kenz. I do. More than you think I do. I’m an ass, but I’m your older brother. I love you even on your worse days. Even when you deserve a mean hook to that mouth of yours.” He reached to her face squeezing her cheeks gently, which she swiped at immediately. “I always listen, especially to you.”

‘ don’t do anything that stupid again. ‘

Blood pooled just below him, something hurt, and badly in his ribs. He’d probably broken one of them... Coach was going to kill him if he was out of commission.

 His bruised features rose up to not see Val, but Mackenzie, her features contorted in worry as she helped him stand up. Lance didn’t need to turn around to know what was going on behind him. Kenzie was not alone from the running motorcycle with the lights running still. His sister was quick to move underneath his arm and help him stand. Curiosity got the better of him, and he turned to see Charlotte just as she smashed a well placed elbow into the bloke’s face. A small crunch echoed around them, and the poor sod and his small crew were all groaning and moaning on the floor around her.

‘ what the heck… heck… hell? what the hell! hold your horses! // ‘ you’re not afraid of anything. ‘ // ‘ snug as a bug in a rug. ‘ // ‘ did you know i love you? i don’t think i told you enough. ‘ // ‘ how do you know it’s a monster? ‘ // ‘ you’re siding with the enemy? ‘

‘ what the heck… heck… hell? what the hell! hold your horses!

“That took a lot of thought,” she called, her legs carrying her much faster than her friend. “No! Catch up! You can’t tell me you don’t want to see this shit with your own eyes.”

‘ you’re not afraid of anything. ‘

“These insects are dead… at least, they’re supposed to be. You have to try anything and everything at least once. I admit, I’m afraid this scorpion is still alive and might kill me, but at least he’ll be tasty… I hope.”

‘ snug as a bug in a rug. ‘

“Jealous, what I wouldn’t give for someone to come into my room and tuck me into my blankets right now.”

‘did you know i love you? i don’t think i told you enough. ‘ 

Charlotte chuckled a little, it felt like she was hearing thismore than usual these days. “I love you too, I shared my funnel cake withyou a couple months back, and you know how momma loves her powder sugar coveredsweets. Thanks for telling me, but don’t worry about me not thinking you do.You’d have to say it to my face for me to think you don’t.”

‘how do you know it’s a monster? ‘ 

“Dunno, go with the classics? My, what big teeth you have! My,what large hands you have! Or something like that. I’d touch it, but poking tiwith a stick just feels so much more natural.”

‘you’re siding with the enemy? ‘ 

“Wha? Lance has a perfectly good point here,” Charlotte gesturedto the teen at her side who seemed a little smug about her agreeing with himand she made a face. “I agree with him, but out of principle, I no longeragree with him.”

that guy could eat a football. // calm down, shhh. it’s okay. it’s okay. // seize the day, make your lives extraordinary.

that guy could eat a football.

“That guy is your brother!” Valerie couldn’t help but watch Lance devour the burrito with a ferocity that no one else but Charlotte could display. “Okay, so that’s just a little much. Come on, it’s a burrito, not the love of his life.” 

calm down, shhh. it’s okay. it’s okay.

She wiped at her eyes with the back of her hand, before hugging it around the tub of ice cream in her lap. The sight of her was probably nothing short of pathetic. Heartbroken and angry, she dug her spoon into the tub of Ben & Jerry’s half-baked, shoveling it into her mouth. “—shit, that is cold. I hate boys, they are stupid and basically the worst. Kenz, I’m gonna have a fat butt because I can’t stop eating ice cream. You know whose fault it’ll be? Luke Williams. Stupid, hot, but dumb as hell. You know who else is dumb? Me, the idiot who liked him.”

seize the day, make your lives extraordinary.

"I’m just going to tell Coach Rivera that it’s a heavy flow day, there is no way I’m running that track with a hangover.”

“Look at you! Look at what you look like! Look at you!” // “I’m talking really loudly, cause I want everyone there to hear.” // “Which is weird because I know so many real words.”

Look at you! Look at what you look like! Look at you!

Valerie was horrified, but she couldn’t pull her eyes away from the mirror. Her late alarm had derailed her entire morning, it wasn’t until after first period P.E., that she realized she had no spare clothes. “I look like a bottle of Pepto-Bismol exploded all over me. This is the last time I trust Vince to bring me a spare change of clothes.”

I’m talking really loudly, cause I want everyone there to hear.

“Kenz, no one needs to know that Sal’s burrito place does to your bowels. I appreciate the knowledge, especially because I was just about to walk into a potential health hazard? — should I take a febreze? Sweet baby Jesus, ugh, I can smell it all the way here. Honey, we are taking you to the nurse, something has got to be wrong.”

Which is weird because I know so many real words.

"If it’s worth anything, I hold the official Mackenzie-Dictionary is higher esteem than any we’ll find in this library. Now, what’s the official definition for Flufferbutt?”

*Hands you a note, inside it says [[WHY IS STUDY HALL SILENT WHAT IS THIS. IM LOSING MY MIND.]]*

“Is this Chinese?” 

[valeriedvpont]

“I heard they were fucking in the bathroom.” // “You left your anal beads at my house. Wait… no, they’re just normal mardi gras beads.” // “I love you more than I could ever express in words.”

“Gross, Kenz! I’m not surprised, but come on, go to the locker rooms instead. Everyone knows those are cleaned daily, but the washrooms. Dear god, we’d be lucky if they cleaned those a biweekly basis.”

Scrambling to reach for her phone at the edge of her bed, she quickly ended the call. The horrifying expression on her face matching the one of her mothers. Of all the times for her mother to check in on her, this was the one time she didn’t bother knocking. “Can you believe it, mama, telemarketers are so pushy these days, they’ll say anything to keep your attention.”

“Don’t you ever scare me like that again.” Valerie curled up next the blonde on the hospital bed, pressing her tear-streaked face into her hair. Mackenzie had always been a sister to her, to think that for a moment she had lost her — it had felt like the rug had just been pulled from under her. That helplessness, the emptiness that would follow, it was something she never wanted to feel. “I love you too, MJ. I don’t want to live in a world that you don’t exist in, ever.”

“Are you a pokemon? Because I’d like to peek-at-chu.” // *Starts singing [[insert a song no one likes here]] outside your door/window* // [TEXT] IM26C4U.

“Are you a pokemon? Because I’d like to peek-at-chu.”

He raises a curious eyebrow at her and looks Mackenzie up and down.  ‘ Pardon? ’  he says to her. He doesn’t get the reference.  ‘ Did someone put you up to this? ’

*Starts singing Wonderwall outside your door/window* 

Quentin places the cup of coffee back onto the coaster on his desk and leans back in his seat with great concentration on his face. He stares intently at the pages of his textbook, a pencil in his hand, carefully underlining certain terms that he should know for his quiz on Wednesday. He’s in his own little world, not even noticing the creature outside his bedroom window screeching into the night. How can he notice that if he has Mozart blasting into his ears to help him focus.

[ TO: Mackenzie Davenport ]> I’m guessing Vincent took your phone?

“Apparently the swim team had an orgy after hours.” // “You know I’m right! I’m always right!” // [TEXT] I don’t know what happened I was just cooking and then all of a sudden the pasta was on fire!

“Apparently the swim team had an orgy after hours.” 

Vincent hiked up the strap of his backpack over his shoulder using the other hand to close his locker before turning to face Mackenzie.  ‘ Really? ’  he drawled, no real tone of surprise in his voice.  ‘ I always knew they all had it for each other. I mean, seeing each other in swimsuits and speedos for hours on end must stir up SOME sexual tension. Plus, have you seen their abs? ’  He threw an arm over the younger’s shoulders and started walking down the hall,  ‘ I’m happy for them. C’mon, Lava Girl, let’s go see if they need two more bodies. ’

“You know I’m right! I’m always right!”

It was instinct for Vincent’s mouth to open, laughter spilling out like thunder. He bent over, clutching his stomach with one hand and slapping his leg with the other.  ‘ Oh my God, Kenzie, ’ he wheezed, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye,  ‘ that’s the funniest joke you’ve ever said! ’
