hollis x fem!reader high school slow-burn (30 parts planned. yes, thirty. we’re in this for the long haul and the long suffering <3)
status: part 1 • part 2 • part 3 • part 4 • part 5 • part 6 • part 7 • part 8 • part 9 (ongoing)
warnings: underage smoking, messy family vibes, rich boy/poor girl tension, brianna being brianna, painfully slow burn, eventual deep emo hours
reader: you ♡
5’2 on a good day, wears platforms and still barely reaches his shoulder
lives in a tiny two-bedroom with your single mom who works doubles (rent is brutal, the apartment’s always kind of a mess, you try but it’s never gonna be maid-clean)
polite to an insane degree, apologizes when people bump into you
only has 1.5 friends
owns a massive american staffordshire terrier named lucki who could drag you down the street but chooses to be a 90-lb lapdog
has never once had a fully clean room and never will
hollis: the guy who ruins your life by existing
6’3, always leaning, voice like smoke and honey, laugh that should come with a warning label
drippysoup on soundcloud (drops heat and acts like it’s nbd)
parents are “we’re in aspen again” rich, house spotless because of the maid, fridge stocked with stuff you can’t pronounce
nonchalant king. says the most insane shit completely deadpan then smirks when you short-circuit
remembers everything you say even when he acts like he doesn’t
will call you “shorty” within 0.3 seconds of knowing you and never stop
lowk red flag in all the right ways
brianna elise vaughn [OC]
yes she introduces herself with all three names, every single time
weekend custody at your building with her mom (dad’s loaded, paid for the penthouse after the divorce so mom could “keep up appearances”)
cheer captain, valley girl accent you can hear from three hallways away
actually the prettiest girl you’ve ever seen irl and still says shit like “i’m not gossiping i’m just saying she knew the theme was barbie…”
the type of “mean girl” who will offer you her stanley right after dragging someone
still calls hollis “babe,” sits on his lap “as friends,” posts “miss my bestieeee” stories pressed cheek-to-cheek with him
genuinely believes the breakup was temporary and they’re soulmates who just needed a break
about to cause chaos and think she’s helping <3
nate
hollis’s best friend and the only person who knows the full lore
will become the most reluctant wingman in history
nova [OC]
your ride-or-die since middle school, certified hollis hater™
calls him mid to his face and will fight anyone who disagrees
has been your #1 since forever, so obviously she’s protective… right?
lucki
90 lbs of muscle and unconditional love
thinks hollis is god
the real matchmaker of this fic, sorry
the vibe in one sentence: you’re the quiet girl with the huge dog and the messy room, he’s the untouchable soundcloud boy who suddenly can’t stop looking at you, and neither of you knows what to do with that information.
first part drops tonight (the elevator incident, now featuring lucki).
