“Sweatpants and sweatshirts can be a very cute look if you do just right.” She said, attempting to make him more confident in his fashion ability. “Sight seeing? Well.. I suppose you could call window shopping and looking for cuties, sight seeing.” Ava smiled, letting him catch up to her as they stepped outside the hotel onto the sidewalk. 

“I don’t think I do it right,” Teddy admitted as a smirk spread across his lips. “Fashion has never been my main priority,” the brunette confessed with a shrug. It wasn’t. He prioritised other things over his style. “Looking for cuties?” He asked looking at the blonde-haired girl. “What’s your type?” He asked, being generally curious.

[teddyslopez]

“Duh, I’m asking you, silly.” She giggled, like he was supposed to have known he would be picking out her eyewear for the day. Looking back at her reflection, she adjusted the sunglasses on her face then stepped back to check her outfit with the glasses. “You are so right.” Ava looked back to the male, “Totally going with the round ones.” She tossed down the heart shaped ones onto the table under the mirror, next to a hat she had also discarded for the day. Not bothering to take any of the items back to her room, she turned to leave the hotel “Well, are you coming with?” She asked, looking back to the other.

The brunette looked at the blonde-haired femme as she put the round glasses back on and grinned, agreeing with himself that he preferred them out of the two she had been weighing her options about. “I feel like it doesn’t take away from your outfit,” he admitted. “I’m no fashionista though...i’m always in sweatpants and sweatshirts,” he chuckled. “I’m probably the last person you want fashion advice from...” Teddy followed the blonde, trying to keep up with her. “Are we going sight seeing?”

[teddyslopez]

Ava stood in the hotel lobby, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She was admiring the way her hair had curled today and switching between different pairs of sunglasses and hats she had brought with her. She changed from heart shaped sunglasses to a pair of round ones, “What do you think? The round ones or the hearts?” The blonde asked, glancing over to the person on her right as she awaited their opinion. ​

Teddy looked around making sue no-one else was around the two of them before making eye contact with the pretty blonde admiring herself in reflective surface. “Are you asking me?” He asked with a raised eyebrow, watching as she switched over the glasses. “I think the round ones look better, but you could rock both,” he confessed. “I like the round ones better with the outfit though,”.

Teddy had been sitting along in the lounge room at the hotel distracted on his mobile phone as his mum called him and double checked how he was getting on. In Brooklyn if Teddy wasn’t studying, he was living with his mother. He had grown up without a dad because his father had moved out before teddy was even born. The brunette was seen as a ‘mommas boy’ but he owned it. He loved his mother, he simply thought sometimes she could be a little over protective of him. “Okay mom, got to go...” He said, trying to end the call as Ivy walked into the room. A face he finally recognized. “Alright?” He commented, flashing a smile in her direction. “Done anything fun here so far?” He asked, making his way over towards the brunette.

​

Fable had been talking to Milo and checking in on Kelsey. The one thing the two of them shared in common. “It’s good our little girl is doing well. Is she reading the…” She trailed off as she spoke to the blonde in front of her before seeing Teddy standing behind him. “Th-Theodore.” She whispered as she pushed Milo to the side gently. “Teddy I-I.” She felt herself finding a hard time trying to form words as she looked between him and Milo and her eyes welled up and she shook her head. 

It was surprising to hear that Fable and Milo had a child together. Teddy knew that Milo was a dad, but he never expected to walk into a conversation where Fable was talking about Milo’s daughter and calling her ‘their’ little girl. “I’m the last to know that you two share a kid together?” He commented, approaching the duo who were in a conversation before he arrived. “It would have been nice to be told..” ( @milo-monroe​ )

“ah,  thanks  teddy!”  jessa  gushed,  fingers  fanning  against  his  own  and  intertwining  like  they’ve  done  this  countless  times  before.  “yeah  he’s  always  been  like…weirdly  jealous  and  possessive.  i  just  don’t  want  to  deal  with  him.”  he  was  still  leaving  her  drunken  voicemails  and  texting  her  non-stop.  it’d  been  a  few  months  since  their  break  up  and  he  clearly  wasn’t  handling  it  well.  “so  you  do  this  often?  fake  boyfriend  it  up?”  she  teased.

“ he sounds like an asshole if you ask me,” teddy knew being jealous ex boyfriend was pretty normal in all relationships . if someone saw their old significant other with someone else sometimes jealousy did play a factor into it all . “ i like to help out where i can, ” he answered back as a small smirk spread across his lips . “ i try and make sure people feel comfortable around me , like they feel they can depend on me if they need too, ” he confessed .

[teddyslopez]

“i   HATE   to   do   this   to   you,   but   would   you   mind   pretending   that   we’re   dating   for   like   ten   minutes?   my   ex   is   right   over   there   and   i   honestly   don’t   feel   like   dealing   with   them   today…   i’ll   buy   you   some   food   or   a   drink   or   something,   please   just   hurry   &   hold   my   hand   or   something.   i   don’t   have   much   time.”

teddy didn’t need to be asked twice to play along with being someone’s ‘date’ to make a mockery of an ex . he approached the red haired femme and took her hand into his own , pulling her gently alongside him as he glanced at the guy that was apparently her ex . “ doesn’t he like you hanging out with anyone else ? is that why we’re doing this ? ”  he asked . teddy was pretty open and friendly so this wasn’t something too out the norm for him . 

​

“okay, okay, would you rather detect every lie you ever hear or get away with every lie you ever tell?” amelia asked before taking a long sip of her drink while she waited for an answer.​

Teddy lent further into his hand at Millie’s question going through both options thoroughly in his mind. “I feel like I’d want to get away with every lie I’ve ever told,” he admitted to the blonde. “Sometimes people lie to protect you from things they don’t want you to hear..” he admitted , “ what about you what would you choose out the two ? ”

[teddyslopez]

“OH drama.” marley purred as she settled in beside her colleague, shoulder against shoulder as she cast her gaze toward the couple that was fighting in the middle of the dance floor, “wanna make bets on what we think happened? my bet is that he cheated…slept with her sister. or best friend. or maybe SHE cheated. or maybe he just found out she’s an alien from another planet. whattya think?”

“I think the two of them might have had a crush on the same person , and one of them managed to get to them before the other. I was secretly hoping that there was going to be a fight. It keeps the night entertaining.” Teddy chuckled. His shoulder bumping into Marley’s. “Who do you think’s going to win?”

[teddyslopez]

Fable couldn’t help the laugh that left her lips as she began to run. “Theodore, no, no.” She yelled before he caught up to her and pulled her into his arms. Giggling softly as she felt the water soak through her clothes as he held her close she bit her lip before grasping his face in her hands to kiss him. 

Theodore wrapped his arms around Fable’s frame and pressed his lips back against hers this time , not letting her simply peck him and turn away from him again. He grinned against her mouth, resting his forehead against her own as the two of them stood by one another. “This is getting into a common thing now isn’t it? You finding any opportunity to kiss me,” he teased.

“So are you ready to go for a swim Lopez?” Luciano asked looking at the other on the diving board. Rearing his arm back. “Can’t promise I’ll take it easy on you. I have an arm on me.” 

”I wouldn’t talk a big game until you make the shot,” teddy answered Luciano as a smirk spread across his lips watching as the other got ready to take his shot. Teddy had been dunked the odd couple of times, but knew some people wanted to see him drop into the pool of water. “Best of luck though your going to need it,” he teased the other.

[teddyslopez]

​​

Fable had been painting faces. It seemed liked a task she was destined for. Getting a break she glanced up and saw Teddy with his shirt off on the diving board of the dunk tank. She knew she shouldn’t be staring so she got up with a light flush of her cheeks and walked over surpassing the person that was throwing the balls and missing terribly. “I’m sorry.” She spoke as she looked back at them before she pressed the button watching Theodore fall into the water with a giggle leaving her lips. “You seemed a little hot from afar. Are you cooled down?” 

Teddy didn’t mind being put on the dunk tank as it seemed pretty funny. He had watched those he was working alongside get dunked into the tank and laughed along with his fellow students who had managed to knock them down.  Teddy had been waiting for another customer while it was his turn and grinned as he watched as his best friend approached him. “Hey, hey!” He called, noticing that she was walking straight up to the button. In seconds teddy had gone from completely dry to absolutely soaked. He let out a loud laugh as he resurfaced from the water and climbed up the steps. “ Fable ! ” he playfully yelled , as he climbed out the tank to run towards her, wrapping her up in his arms in a tight embrace. “ are you cooled down now too ? ” he asked playfully ,making sure to get her all wet too , as he kept his arms locked around her frame.

nora listened to his tale, realizing how odd it was that the boy she’d skinned knees with as a child had his own dating history; his own life that had occurred while she lived hers separately. “whoa, whoa, whoa. teddy, do you live in a soap opera? can i, like, buy the rights to your life? i bet it’d make a really good netflix original. or maybe hbomax…” she joked, tapping her chin as if seriously pondering which network would be best to shop her hypothetical script. “you fucked alana?” she suddenly asked, intrigued yet again. “i dunno, aren’t all high school dates horror stories in their own right? but i guess one of the rough ones was junior year when my date to prom got so wasted at the pregame that he puked on my dress. in the limo. i wasn’t, like–” she shook her head. “–like a heartbreaker. or anything.” if anything, she was more of a good-time girl. the kind of girl whose heart you didn’t need to care about breaking.

teddy had grew up around nora as their mum’s were best friends with each other. the two of them were at each other’s house a lot growing up , until nora moved with her mum to somewhere outside of Brooklyn. he had grow up with her in life to only seeing her every so often as his mum video called her mum to have a little catch up with each other . it was nice to finally have a catch up with nora all over again , and try and fill in the gaps on who she was now , and what she wanted out of life. “ it’s pretty hectic right ? ” he chuckled. “ fuck no sorry - not alana , athena,” he corrected , pulling a face as he got the girls name wrong. “ i don’t think alana would look my way...but she’s not my type so it’s fine. I’m into a girl someone called Fable right now, she kissed me the other day you know?” he grinned. if fable’s name was mentioned, teddy’s smile turned childlike. “ did you have a go at the person who puked on you ? ” he asked with a raised eyebrow. “ i would have been livid...”

[teddyslopez]

Fable looked over at him. “You never failed me before Theodore Lopez.” It was the truth and the both of them knew it. Blushing slightly as he looked directly into her eyes she smiled softly. “I may have. Either that or it’s just a figment of your imagination.” She joked back with him. “Was it?” 

“I’m not going to fail you either. I’m here for you whenever you need me, I promise you that.” Being around fable made teddy feel safe. He felt like he had an actual friend in the other and she treated him incredibly well. Teddy wanted Fable to know that she could come to him whenever she wanted a friend.  “I’ve definitely imagined it before,” he admitted as a small laugh escaped his lips. “You know I think your really hot right?” 

[teddyslopez]

nora sat outside in the grass. a half-smoked joint was wedged between cherry-stained lips, thin wisps of smoke rising in ribbons around her face. she was swiping through tinder options—a boredom habit of hers. at worst, she got some cheap entertainment or a laugh. “look at this guy’s profile,” she held up her phone, revealing a very noticeable photoshop job. a head of hair added on top of a balding head. “i’d say we’ve gotta find this guy a pity fuck if he didn’t have such a misogynistic bio,” she let out a tsk. “hey, wanna trade stories? tell me about your worst first date and i’ll tell you about one of mine.”​

teddy chuckled at the profile that nora was showing him and swiped right for him on nora’s phone before tipping his head back and laughing. “ i dated a girl who cheated on me , and I had fallen hard for her and now she’s my roommate,” he admits. teddy got his mobile phone out and got cori up on his mobile phone , showing nora a picture of her before scrolling to find alana . “ so after i found out about it, i fucked her step sibling alana,” he admitted, showing nora a picture of the girl he had slept with afterwards.  he chuckled and shook his head. “ i wouldn’t say she was my worst date , but it sucked how it ended, ” he admitted. “who was your worst date , nora? ” he asked, wanting to find out more about what she went through between the years the two of them weren’t as close.  “ did you break someone’s heart? ”

      she shakes her head as      she rests her hand on his,    hiding it a light squeeze.      ❝   oh, bambino.     don’t worry,     it’ll take   more than that   pretty face    to break     my heart. ❞      she muses towards him,    smiling as      she looked out the      window, letting her mind     travel away once    again. though      a few     seconds later,     his voice draws her     back in to the      conversation      at hand. ❝ yeah,   it’s adjustable. ❞      teddy had been     the only public student      that she had a genuine      conversation with. ❝     I really don’t care    as long as everyone     knows their place ——- I had a    little incident in debate     club but it’s been     rectified . ❞   a public student   decided to    question her choices &.    let’s just say the    girl never     came back. 

teddy heard a lot of public students and private students didn’t get along and he didn’t understand that mindset at all. the brunette didn’t really ignore anyone unless someone had given him a reason to ignore them or avoid them.  ❝   we are all human , i don’t care if someone comes from money or doesn’t , i’ll make a connection with anyone as long as it benefits me  ❞ he admits . teddy’s best friend was fable , and she was a private student. the two of them got along with one another and money was hardly ever mentioned .  ❝  i think sometimes it’s about giving people a chance, isn’t it ? ❞

SLEEP  WOULD  BE  A  WELCOMED  guest  at  this  point  .  it  was  well  past  midnight  ,  there  was  nothing  to  do  besides  sit  on  his  phone  or  stare  at  the  stars  .  laying  in  the  middle  of  the  quad  cement  digging  into  his  skin  the  only  thing  that  kept  him  grounded  as  he  stared  up  at  the  stars  .  head  tilting  back  at  the  sound  of  approaching  footsteps  .  his  voice  and  their  quiet  steps  the  only  sounds  for  what  seemed  like  miles  ,  “  can’t  sleep  ?  ” 

theodore had a hard time sleeping at the best of times . he had tried medications and did as doctors asked , but everything he had been given so far hadn’t helped him in the slightest. that was the reason on why he was walking around in the dark , not expecting to see anyone up. the brunette approached ace , nodding his head at the other’s question. “ i can never sleep , i’m often walking around this place during stupid hours of the night, ” he confessed. “ what’s keeping you up ? is something playing on your mind ? ”
