Vivian was doing some cleaning, it was easily a way to pass the time and also helped her leave earlier at closing. It was a pretty quiet evening which was sometimes nice but combined with the cleaning she felt like the boredom would take over at some point. In almost perfect timing though she saw a familiar face walk into the pub. “If it isn’t Nate St. James, it’s been awhile since we’ve seen each other. How have you been?” Even if Vivian didn’t like to admit it she liked that she knew a good chunk of the people in this town. And that more than half were actually tolerable. She really appreciated getting to see more familiar faces.

Its a good day for cheesecake || Para - Nate and Calvin

@nate-clarington

Calvin loved Cheesecake and he would do anything for Cheesecake most times of the day. Not many people knew that about him and he used to keep that a secret but it was National Cheesecake Day and he was more then happy about that. Gave him all the excuses to get Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory that day. Of course when he got there, there was a long queue and he had come on his own because he was a bit of a loner, well that was a lie, he wasn’t, he could have asked Santiago to go with him but he didn’t. As he stood in the long queue, he smiled trying to make conversation with the guy in front of him, “So are you a massive cheesecake fan or am i the only one who could live on Cheesecake?”

Life is Strange || Salt

She hadn’t been able to see Nate since the end of summer. In between getting back into the grind and tryouts she just hadn’t had the time to leave the castle. Finally she had a weekend away and she was happy Nate could come out to see her. She loved Tami of course, but she had missed her other friends too and the summer felt like she had finally reconciled with Nate just to have to leave. “Hey, over here!” she called out to the all too familiar tall guy. “Funny seeing you here, stranger.”

Summer Skellington was definitely someone who liked to enjoy herself, although even when she was having fun and trying to let loose, it seemed that there were certain instincts she still couldn’t seem to turn off. Like making sure no one ruined someone else’s wedding. She’d thought maybe Casper would be the one to try something, like setting off fireworks inside of Will and Blake’s wedding cake, but so far, her younger friend hadn’t seemed to be doing anything that would cause a major disturbance. Nate Pan, on the other hand...

Summer liked Nate, but when she caught side of him, she couldn’t help but notice there was a somewhat devious look in his eyes. He was lurking near the DJ booth, and Summer didn’t even think twice -- she marched in his direction, fixing him with a pointed look. “What do you think you’re doing?” she asked, folding her arms over her chest the way she would if she were babysitting or working with the kids in the daycare class she aided. “I’m going to figure it out, so you may as well just tell me the truth now.”

Rumor in Slytherin || Nate, Jasper, and Sol

It had taken her more than just a nights sleep to build up the courage to talk to Nate. She was just nervous of his he would react and feel. What if punches were thrown again? Though Loxley may have thrown the first one last time, it was a blur and she couldn’t remember easily. She walked up to the boys 6th year dorm and lightly knocked. “You decent?” She had dressed conservatively, nothing like the short skirt nate had seen her in last time. “If you have the time I figured we should go talk to Nate.” She was nervous and wringing the hem of her sweater. She didn’t want to do this at all but she felt she owed it to him. She didn’t want him to only know from hushed rumors like she had to hear about Salva and Xiomara.

Delivered to the Slytherin Sixth Year Girls’ Dormitory, with a note reading:

I know you don’t like this kind of thing, but

I wanted to say I’m sorry 

I heard you were hurt and I needed to make sure that

I’ve been worried

I’ve been trying to think of a way to say what a total shitdick I am

here you go anyway.

- N. P. P.

Sol had just gotten back from getting her ankle checked at the infirmary. It was recovering well but she was supposed to keep the brace on for a couple more days just to make sure. The scrapes everywhere else were almost completely healed now thanks to magic though the bruises were taking a little longer. She wanted to just collapse on her bed and sleep but that was when she found the box waiting for her. When she opened the box to reveal beautiful purple flowers Sol was confused for half a second before realizing who they were from. A mixture of emotions passed through her in that moment. Sad at the mention of Nate, pissed that he waited this long to reach out to her and that he did so at all, but as much as she didn’t want it a part of her was happy that he thought of her. All she wanted was for him to care and this made it feel like that, but then the sad, angry part of her was what drove her next actions.

Grabbing the box of roses, Sol headed over to the boy’s dorm with a glower on her face. She saw Nate and she shoved the box into him. “You can’t do this. It’s not fair.” Sol hasn’t seen him since he walked in on her after her small hookup with Isaac and as much as she wanted to be indifferent to Nate she wasn’t and he wasn’t making it any easier for her. “You can’t not care about me one second then care the next. You don’t get to do that to me. It’s not fair,” she reiterated the last point. It felt unfair of him to keep her on the line when she just wanted to either be reeled in or let go.

Quidditch (Not) Date || Salt

Every time Sol looked at the field she was reminded of that painfully awkward day where she kissed Nate in front of the whole school, got into a fight with Loxley, and ended up running away crying. She hated that she cared so much what other people thought but as it stood she did and it was embarrassing even though she was trying to not let it affect her. She knew that her friends disapproved of her hanging around Nate but she was so determined to prove that she could have fun like anybody else. So determined to prove that she was strong and wouldn’t be broken by Nate. She was so very wrong. Instead of staying as far away as she could she was at the Quidditch game with him. Right by his side half for the heat he provided her chilly bones and half because she just wanted to cuddle, though she would never tell him that. Sol hoped Gryffindor would fail miserably. She hoped Ares did so poorly that he wouldn’t even be able to show his face for the rest of the year the little cheating slime ball.

Hate Me Today || Salt

Running away. That was the only thing Sol was good at. It felt like she had been running her entire life. Some problems Sol confronted with anger, but the real problems? The real problems made her run away because she was too scared, too sad, too hurt, to face them. She had run away from Loxley on the field and now here she was running away from Piper. All she did was run and it was downright exhausting.

 Adrenaline could only take her so long and eventually Sol had to stop so she hid in a small space between a large statue and the cool wall of the castle. She curled up and hugged her knees as she cried. The last thing Sol wanted to be doing was crying but she just couldn’t stop herself. Loxley hated her. He hated her and there was no going back. She had lashed out and now she couldn’t just take it back. She fucked up and ruined everything. Sol felt so small and scared. She felt like she was back to being the scared little 10-year-old hiding in sandy alleyways. She felt the hatred bearing down on her and her heart felt heavy. It was terrible to feel like not a single person in the world loved her. She wasn’t even sure anybody even liked her, not even Tami or Sonder. And if they did she was certain she would blow it all up sooner or later anyways and they would join her and everyone else in their hate. Sol was grateful everyone would be too busy at the after party that they wouldn’t be wandering the halls because as much as she tried she just couldn’t control her sobs.
