Aelle lost in her own thoughts she walked around town, she just needed to keep herself distracted but her stomach growling and her negative thoughts always ended up winning. She wished her mother was there to at least hold her tightly until she got her pieces back together but that f*cking vampire took that chance from her. She stood there leaning into a wall and couldnt help but stare at girl that was smoking, she liked how peaceful it was and wanted a bit of it too.

As soon as the girl noticed her she turned pale. “Y-yeah.” She smiled a bit. “Sorry for looking.”

“It’s fine. I’m not mad that you’re watching me. Come and sit down if you want. Or just stand there and stare, either’s chill.” Blair was currently too high to really care what the stranger did. “Who are you anyway? I’ve never seen you around here before.”

Maya shrugged. “Hardly,” she mumbled. “Mostly just about lesson plans for my students. Stuff like that. Stuff that would bore you to death.”

“You’re right there, lesson plans don’t sound like the most thrilling things in the world. Seems like a pretty strange thing to be day dreaming about in the middle of the town square too.”

avery broke into a warm smile, finding the entire interaction sort of laughable and somewhat embarrassing but not to a point where they were self-conscious about it. avery leaned back against the bench and shrugged. “there wasn’t really a reason. not that you aren’t stare-worthy, i’m just… thinking.” they leaned forward, glancing at the girl on the grass. “although now you have me wondering if there’s something wrong with these benches other than they are horrible for taking naps.”

“You think I’m stare-worthy? Cute. You’re cute.” Blair laughed, watching this new stranger. She knew everyone in Mystic Falls, at least all of the people who had been born there and so all of the newcomers intrigued her. “Nothing wrong with the benches that I know, I just like sitting on the ground.”

“if i said yes would you move?” whether there was or wasn’t something mentally wrong with eden, they weren’t happy with her response either way but luckily weren’t in a spot where they were extremely sensitive to ignorance. arms crossed, as they become more complacent with their choice to call her out on being in their path, their stubbornness fueled by her own. 

“No probably not.” Blair shrugged, leaning back on the grass again. She had now decided that there wasn’t a chance of her moving. At this point she had decided she was done talking about it and just wanted to be left alone once again to her peace and quiet.

matt’s eyebrows raised in surprise at her words, which seemed very unlike blair but that could also be because despite knowing her his entire life, he didn’t know her well. from what he could tell, they were opposites. she was smart, knew what she wanted to do, and basically seemed to have the perfect life. he was lacking in the grades with nothing in his future except probably working until he could afford to continue going to school. not to mention that pretty much everyone knew, embarrassingly enough, where he and vicki were at financially. and family-wise, pretty much having each other. but he was only a junior, his situation could have a drastic change in the next two years. at her circus comment, he laughed, resting his arm down on his desk. “nah. now that, i can’t see. you’re going to do good things, blair. the world will be a little less of a shit show when you’re through with it.” that much he was confident in; that much, he admired of her.

It was funny to her, how sure he was that she was going to end up doing great things with her life when she wasn’t sure of anything any more. With the way she currently felt she was way more likely to burn the world to the ground than she was to help it in any more. The world was already a mess, what was the point? “I really think you have too much faith in me but thanks i guess, you’re a nice guy. You should keep that. There aren’t many of your kind around in this world anymore.” Hopefully he would never find out about the supernatural or have to deal with any of it. Matt was one of the good ones who didn’t deserve it.

​❝ what i saw, you’ll never believe me. ❞ ( matt ) ; ❝ what is that smell? ❞ ( avery ) !!

Matt

“I probably would believe you Matt. Tell me what you saw and I’ll tell you if I believe you.” Blair could feel that she was holding a breath waiting for his answer even if she was doing it subconsciously. Had he finally found out about the supernatural as well?

Avery

“That would be weed. You can have some if you want?” Blair shrugged offering them the joint she was currently smoking from. It wasn’t perfectly rolled due to it being done in a hurry but it was good enough.

avery didn’t mean to stare, nor did they even realize they were staring until they were called out for it. they scratched their head, eyebrows raising from the bench they sat on in the square, were they were half napping and half thinking deeply. more like daydreaming in a not so productive way. still, thrown off by the girl’s question, they sat up a little straighter with a shrug to play it off. “i guess. are you?”

“I’m just peachy thanks.” She laughed, sitting back on the grass. “You were the one staring so I was just wondering if there was a reason for that or if it’s just something you like to do to pass the time. Either’s fine, just curious.”

eden didn’t appreciate the body in their way as they walked towards the grill. it wasn’t like she was sitting in the middle of the sidewalk, but eden also didn’t walk on the sidewalk, so naturally as they followed the path through the grass they’d memorized, that they had walked multiple times a day for the past month they’d been here, they stopped in front of the girl. “not really. you’re in my way.” as easy as it may have seemed to go around her, this was something that was irritating eden to their very core as she could have chosen any other spot to be in.

Usually keeping her picture perfect imagine was important to her but when she didn’t even know the person, she didn’t care. They didn’t know her and hopeful she would never see them again. “Is there something mentally wrong with you that means you can’t walk around someone?”

“a lawyer, huh? you’d be good at that. but i definitely thought you were going to say a doctor, or a vet or something.” matt could almost feel inspired, or at least empowered, by her confidence, her confidence from her smile and from the sureness with which she spoke like a well-rehearsed speech, and matt was certain she was asked that a lot. he was also certain he already knew that she wanted to be a lawyer from her speech as miss mystic falls, but that felt like ages ago. he wasn’t empowered though, because it made him feel isolated from his own future. she was so sure and he was so not, but her words did make him feel better. “that’s true. how did you know you wanted to practice the law?”

It was funny, how easy it was for her to pretend to care. How easy it was for her to pretend that she knew what she was talking about and had all of her life planned. “Well Matt, the world’s a bit of a shit show to be honest and I think that needs cleaning up.” It wasn’t exactly the kind of thing Blair would usually say but it was tame enough that she thought she’d be able to get away with it. “But there’s a certain beautiful freedom to not having a plan. Who knows, maybe I’ll run away and join the circus?” It was impossible to picture for the old Blair, the one she still pretended to be. But she still had no idea who this new person was, and the rest of the world wouldn’t get to meet her for a while yet.

Getting back in the groove of things was a bit different. She had been through something like this before, but this time was different and not in a good way. She was tired of new adjustments, and now this place that she thought would be a safe haven is now another place that she would be wary of for the rest of her being there. The new faces didn’t make things any better. “Not looking at you, just staring off into space.”

“Right.” Blair nodded, looking back into space herself for a second before looking back at the woman. People had always fascinated her. Unable to really understand herself or her emotions she enjoyed trying to get into other people’s minds. “Thinking about anything important?” Personal space also wasn’t something she worried about.

[theduplicitous]

Blair had been sitting on the edge of the woods for a few hours. Her family had been driving her crazy even more than they usually did and she needed a joint. Once she was sufficiently high she wondered back into town, sitting herself down on a random path of grass in the town square. Sensing someone watching her, she turned her head to the side. “You good?”

» @theduplicitous ━ BLAIR & MATT ! ✧

matt glanced at a poster on the wall outside his third period classroom. something about scholarships, or transcript requests, or gpas. though he’d looked at it many times before, it was always a reality check to remember that in his junior year, things like gpa, credits and grades actually started to matter. it was on his mind as he slid into his usual seat beside blair, sliding his backpack on the ground beside his desk. “it’s kind of weird to imagine how close we are to being adults.” they were still a ways off, and blair even farther away, but it seemed like people he talked to or heard talking in the halls had it all planned out. “do you know what you want to do after you graduate? or is sophomore year too early to know?” blair just seemed to be so well put together, with a perfect future ahead and he could definitely use some direction or he’d never leave.

Blair had stopped caring about her future a few months ago when she had discovered the secrets of the world she lived in. Before then it had all been mapped out; graduate high school, study law at Whittmore college, move back to Mystic Falls and become a lawyer and member of the founder’s council. Now she could barely even see a future for herself. Blair looked next to her at Matt as he spoke. “Of course.” She grinned, inwardly rolling her eyes. “I’m going to become a lawyer, I’ve known how my life is going to go since I was ten. It’s okay not to know. Sometimes life can come along and change everything. Who knows what the future holds?”

“Don’t say a word because today has been like the best day yet, and I know the moment you say what you’re gonna say it’s all gonna come crashing down because i’ll end up over thinking everything. So just be happy with me okay?” she urged, sure to any other vampire biting a person and being able to pull away wasn’t a big deal but to her it meant she was finally gaining some control back and the whole vampire think was becoming less of a burden. “But like seriously if there’s something up tell me because i’ll also just be worried if you don’t…-i’m talking a lot today huh?…god i’m gonna need another coffee at this rate.”

Blair laughed at the rambling of the blonde, it was the kind of light and airy laugh that made her feel sick these days. it was a laugh for someone with no worries, Blair wasn’t that girl anymore. But she still had appearances to keep up. “Don’t worry Caroline, i only came over to ask how the Miss Mystic preparations were going and see if there was anything I could do to help.” After all as the winner of last year she was obligation to be in Caroline’s court if she won which she was going to. Probably.

Hey my name’s Blair Fell and I’m a member of one of the founding families in Mystic Falls. I’m 17, I attend Mystic Falls High School and I love it. If you’ve studied the town’s history you may know that I am your Miss Mystic Falls 2008 and proud to be representing my town. I’ve lived in this wonderful town my whole life and there’s no where I’d rather be. Here I have included a silver hair pin that I wore when I was crowned Miss Mystic Falls on a day I will never forget.

-Blair Fell x

(okay my family have read my letter now it’s time for the truth. I hate this shithole and can’t wait to be out of it. Watch out for things that go bump in the night. Trust no one. Oh and enjoy the grinder, stay high.

“huh?” keanu’s full attention soon shifted to the girl, taking a few seconds to realize she was speaking to him. “… no, you’re fine. i was just grabbing a cupcake. no need for you to move.” he did, however, take a few steps away as he looked down at the cupcake, and over to her. “but it probably would be smart to move away from the cupcakes. i’m sure there’s some other people who might want you to move away.” his suggestion was light, as he mostly focused on trying to come up with the best way to eat the cupcake without making a mess of himself. “i’m not gonna scold you on not standing in the best places, though. i’ve been there before, suddenly realizing i’m totally in the way of someone else.” he paused. “… do you know a way to eat a cupcake that doesn’t make you look like a monster?”

Blair put on her smile again realizing that she didn’t know the person in front of her and should probably be polite. She couldn’t have it getting back to her family that she was rude to the new people in town. “You’re probably right about moving. Do you mind helping me up?” She asked holding out her hand to him. It was easy enough to sit down in her massive dress but standing up was seeming slightly harder. “As for your cupcake dilemma, I can’t really help. I tend not to eat at these fancy things. It looks bad to get food down a dress.”

the biggest reason jeremy had come to this thing was as moral support for blair, knowing she’d be obligated to go. another reason was so that he could use it as proof that he was getting out of the house, and being social, the next time his sister or aunt tried to say otherwise. he showed up pretty late, mingled for awhile, and at this point he had a decent buzz going. when he saw blair he approached her from behind, a smile slowly appearing on his lips as he heard the irritation in her tone. “i was hoping i could convince you to sneak off with me,” he said, wrapping an arm around her waist. “i dunno about you, but i could use a break from all this.” and he’d always prefer to having alone time with her to mingling with a bunch of people who didn’t care about him at some big, formal party.

Blair spun around at the sound of his voice and smiled, and real smile for the first time that evening. “I’ve never been happier to see your face.” She lent her head against him as she looked around for her family. Usually she would have told them she had a headache or had drank too much champagne and needed to go home but tonight she really didn’t want to see or speak to them. “Is there ever a time when I don’t want to sneak off with you? Let’s go, I really wanna get out of his dress.”
