run ins

Dallas loved her days off, whether it was from school, work, or even both at the same time, but it meant she could do the things she wanted.  She laced up her sneakers and readied her headphones for her jog and made sure to dress warm for the chill San Fran mornings. Jogging was one of her favorite things to do when she had no time constraint, she could go as fast or slow as she wanted and truly wander where ever, and after a couple hours of jogging and being sweaty she made a stop at her local coffee shop, knowing a good breakfast sandwich and coffee would truly hit the spot. Standing in line she hummed along to the song on her headphones as she looked at the menu, she made sure to order and tipped as much change as she had and once she was handed her coffee and her number for her table her eyes scanned the crowd of tables. 

It was like a magnet, her eyes finding his, and it shook something in her she didn’t know was still there, and then the anger creeped back up to replace that feeling. Dev looked good, naturally, but it made her angry to see him looking so good, seeing him made her good day turn sour, sipping her coffee she wasn’t exactly sure what to do. One side of her brain thought it’d be fine to catch up while the other just wanted her to throw her drink at him, call him an ass and go on her way, but she chose the latter and swallowed whatever anger she had. They’d already made eye contact she might as well just get their confrontation over with, “I’d say it’s good to see you, but I haven’t truly decided if it is or not” She said as she tapped on the back of the empty seat at his table, “may I sit?”

The most surreal experience of my life was going to the shop at 10pm to buy lemons and running into someone I used to work with who then dabbed at me and asked if I wanted to get high and watch horror films on the weekend like... what is happening

favorite days

my favorite days are the ones where i just end up running into people i love. like completely unintentionally, we just happen to cross paths throughout our day. this is where timing fucks me up. like if i had lingered another moment, or if i didn’t take the time to say hi to someone, i wouldn’t have run into that next person. it just makes my day so much better getting to see other people i care about. i can feel myself light up and i hope them seeing me gives them the same excitement and joy and happiness.

i ran into smoothie boy’s roommate twice today and it brightened my day. i saw him last night too at the gym. i was working out and a friend of his walked past me and we stopped to say hi and then smoothie boy’s roommate caught up and noticed me and did his “oh hey emma!” thing that he does everytime he sees me. it’s always an octave above his greeting for everyone else and it makes me feel special. like one night sonora and i were practicing and she went to a friends dorm to ask something and i stood awkwardly by the door until i moved in a little closer and upon seeing me he stopped talking to acknowledge me and go “oh hey emma!” to which i always respond with an equally excited “hey smoothie boy’s roommate!” (granted i do use his actual name). and i just like make a small like sigh. like i sigh why i see him cause it just brightens my day. he’s a super wonderful person. but yeah he said hi to me and we talked a bit and “oh yeah i’m just here to work out” and me responding “i’m running for the first time in forever!” i always just talk without thinking with him. i just talk like i blog. whatever’s on my mind i have no filter with him of “oh should i not say it like this or should i say something smarter?” i have none of that with him and it’s refreshing. he always accepts it too. he responded with a “well i’ll let you get to it then!” and we parted ways. i saw him locking up his bike today and he was wearing these really nice fitted maroon pants and i walked past him and said “your pants are very colorful” to which he thanked me and asked where i was headed. i told him to get food and he continued to ask about my classes and how they went today or if i have anymore and i told him none and asked about him. he said he’s got class all throughout the day so i wished him luck and went ahead to get my food. then later than day i was walking up to a study spot and he biked past me and we both made eye contact and he did his small little smile and laugh while looking down and i smiled back. it just made my day a little better.

Run Ins || Draco and Ginny

Fights were the norm in the Malfoy Manor since the war. He wanted to accept a few changes into his life because it was time to change. Not only that but it was time to accept the fact that they had been wrong. That their beliefs had been wrong. His mother remained neutral but she agreed with him. His father however was entirely different. He refused to let go of his belief and he didn’t want his son to let go either.

And it was here that they would argue. Despite his mother’s best efforts their dinners would explode into a shouting match very quickly. They could avoid one another during the day but the dinner table was inevitable. And as he sat in the corner of the booth at the Leaky Cauldron, staring at his still full bottle of firewhiskey Draco could feel his anger rising once more as he thought of his father shouting and his mother trying to placate the situation to the best of her ability. And him, Draco, shouting back, yelling at his father that what he had been teaching him for so long had affected him. Had affected his life. His outlook. How he would never forgive him for that. And when his father had told him to get out, he had done so. Ignoring his mother’s pleas to not go.

And here he was. Surrounded by laughing people, celebrating a life free from fear and oppression. Both things brought on by people like him, he thought bitterly to himself as he stared at the bottle.

And oh god I wish seeing you didn’t hurt like this. I’m beyond over this. I don’t ever want to feel like this again. But I still am. And I hate it. And I hate you. The sickest part is that I can't hate anyone.

“Oh... hi.”

Saw one of my students out at Burger Hangover last night. So fucking weird when your first instinct is to hide the Lonestar you're drinking. But then we both decided it was cool since she'd be graduating today. It was pretty funny. We invited her to the April 10th show.
