‘ you need to loosen up a little. it's a party ! ’ / @revoltoso
– ‘ OH, THANK YOU, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS, ’ PAIGE REMARKS, punctuating the statement with a roll of her eyes. technically, jackie is right ; she’s starting senior year and she should be on top of the WORLD, but she’s just been dumped by her older boyfriend and she only showed up to this particular party after alex invited her at work, presumably because paige kept whining about being pathetic. it’s become clear to paige pretty quickly how little she fits in with alex’s friends – they all seem really close, like they’ve known each other forever and, well, paige is the blonde cheerleader who made snide remarks about their economic class for the past three years.
‘ i guess i’m just trying to get over the shock of seeing you all in a house and not down at the ravine sharing diseases, ’ she adds, though her disdain tonight is more of a defense mechanism, because she hates feeling like she doesn’t fit in. it just kind of slips out, especially when she’s out of her comfort zone. ‘ have you seen alex ? ’
