Paralives

This is Lena, who likes technology, is energetic and sloppy! I am struggling a little with how to play the game (i have pretty much never played much else but the sims), but I am very much enjoying the vibe of it!

The minute Lena returned to Cabot her mind fell into her studies, she was sure this year would be her hardest yet, and she was determined that she would be perfect in her every endeavour. She felt the familiar bubbling of stress in her stomach every time she thought about the upcoming year. After she had unpacked her things, she took her books and some pens to the Catamount Cafe.

Lena strongly preferred studying and spending her down time at the Catamount Cafe over The Hideout, even though she worked for the latter, mostly to avoid her managers, but also because it was directly on campus.

After ordering her usual green tea lemonade she set her textbooks, her laptop, and her pen case down on a familiar table situated near the front window; she especially enjoyed the sunshine and the scenery of the campus in the late summer.

As she was just about to pull up one of her syllabuses on her laptop, Lena noticed someone coming towards her in the small cafe. She looked up properly to greet them, “oh, hey! How was your summer?”

      TEA BAGS lined the tray in front of him- mint and ginger and something green with jasmine and it reminded him of the scent that lingered on her neck after he’d told her he couldn’t do this. The water in his cup was so hot it let off steam and he could count the number of times he thought of sleep in that moment. James chose the one with jasmine and held his cup like it was the most precious gem because he would not spill the liquid inside. 

      Lena Elias- girl with sunshine in her smile- sat by the window, unpacking her belongings. Summer, somehow, always made him forget how frequently he’d run into people he’d once known, kind of knew. Freshman year might as well have been a lifetime ago, but here he was, now, exhausted from driving from home to school for five hours early that morning.

      How was his summer? 

      The worst. 

      “It could have been better,” he replied but instantly changed the subject so as not to linger on his misery. Negativity didn’t help anyone. “You look different, Lena. Can’t pin how. It’s good, though. You have a good summer?”

      The tips of his fingers burned from the piping hot water warming porcelain and he instantly set it down on the table beside Lena. 

      “Surprised you’re not at The Hideout. Tired of that place already?” he teased, taking a seat because he felt awkward standing, hoping that she wouldn’t mind him just intruding on her space. Not everyone loved small talk, and he accepted that. “Let me tell you, Lena, I need to have a good time. Haven’t even seen anyone around yet, but I need a hard drink tonight. You interested in throwing down last minute?”

🙌 for our muses to compete in the cornhole tournament together.

“Do you think I look like a slutty pumpkin?” Haley asked, adjusting the orange top that she’d worn for the festival as she and Lena prepared to take their cornhole stances. She’d been praying they’d be going head to head with cute guys, and she hadn’t been disappointed -- now, she was just worried about whether her boobs would look good when she was bending to throw the beanbag or not. “Because I kind of want to look like one, but also not everyone thinks pumpkins are yummy, so like... we need to come up with some kind of signal, if I look bad during this. You’re going to be standing across from me, you’ll have the best view, so just... I don’t know, start bored-braiding your hair if I need to adjust or something?”

Pierced | Lena and Leia

“I know it’s gonna hurt...” The brunette trailed off apprehensively, pulling her long hair into a ponytail behind her head in order to free her face for sanitizing. There was no legal way to get their hands on anesthetic however, a heavy dose of pain killers would definitely help in this situation. She had taken them before walking over - a task that had taken less than an hour having traveled quickly. A part of her, the part that was freaking out, wished for the other to take the needle and plunge it into her nose after claiming to count to three but only making it to two. 

“Just... Hurry up and do it, please... But do it safely.” Leia pulled out her phone, opening snapchat immediately. Pursing her lips slightly and wiping the mascara dust from under her eyes, she posed for a picture- waiting for the other to come into view. “I need a before picture. C’mere.”
