You’re too good for this world, and because of that the world will eventually crush you.

ophelia-ohara:

                                    Ophelia let out a deep sigh of relief, her features softening and the worried creases on her forehead smoothing—- not disappearing entirely, but still enough to make it clear she was relieved to hear Sora and her aunt were okay. “Didn’t get one either. Which is good of course, but I guess now that it seems no one in North End got one… well, you know—- it doesn’t look good.” She sighed, ashamed of her own neighborhood, though also incredibly protective of it. “And— and I, uh… I don’t know if you heard, but basically the police named me one of the, uh, one of the persons of interest? Which is just… well, I don’t even know, but I hope they realize they’ve made a mistake.”

Sora was relieved to hear that Ophelia was fine, but it was quickly replaced with shock adn surprise upon hearing that one of her dearest friends had been named as a person of interest in the case. “Ophelia, you...?” she trailed off, surprise clear in her tone. “Of course they made a mistake! You would never do anything like that. I know you, everyone here knows you, your name will be cleared.”

“Lots of interesting things,” Kevin wiggled his eyebrows, slightly leaning over the table. “I can make myself glow in the dark and sparkle in sunlight,” he said with a few nods. It wasn’t dark, nor the sun was fully out so there was no way to prove his statement wrong.

Sora leaned towards him as he leaned over the table, eager to hear what his magical abilities were capable of. “Ah...well that certainly comes in handy, doesn’t it? Although I have to say, the sparkling in the sunlight bit makes me think of Twilight....” she chuckled.

“Yeah,” he sighed. “But I heard some guys got into some drunken fight down by the lake, too. So, not enough of a distinguishing feature to catch the dude…” He figured that was a good enough excuse for why someone hadn’t gotten caught with his description yet…. 

“Did they? I didn’t hear about that...but I’m not surprised either. It’s always something, isn’t it?” Sora smiled a little. Of course, this time it was more than a fight though, and many people had suffered because of it. “Mm...maybe, who knows...but lets hope they’ll still get caught soon.”

Emily was patient with the other, nothing but endeared by Sora. There might have been a hint of pity but she didn’t want to contemplate that and how potentially condescending it could be; all she knew is that high school was hard for anyone, and being new in a country couldn’t have made it any easier. She was happy when her hand was taken, quickly shaking it as gently as she could, before dropping it by her side again and tugging her back pack up her shoulder. “Sure! Have you seen much of Lanford? Come on, I’ll show you. I love going to the arcade after – it’s fun to release all that tension at a terrible game. That and I just love gaming, but whatever.” Emily laughed, using both a slight nod and a sweeping hand to gesture for Sora to follow along as she began to walk across campus.

Sora continued nodding and a smile formed on her lips as she understood what Emily was saying. “Arcade? Oh, games are fun!” she said, remembering the arcade rooms back home. She wasn’t the best at games, but she liked to try and found herself getting competitive with it anyway. “Lanford...I see a little bit. My aunt took me shopping a little and to the grocery store.”

“That show always has done,” Ben answered with a nod of his head. “I auditioned for it once, but in the end it didn’t work out, I was kind of glad, honestly.” He chuckled. “It was never really me.”

“Aw, well I’m sure it was their loss!” Sora insisted, although in truth she didn’t even know how good he was at what he did but she immediately felt guilty after thinking such a thing. “Ah I see....if you ever had a chance from going from a Broadway show to a Hollywood screen...do you think you’d want to do that?”

          “What a week.” Sophie murmured softly, hands resting over lap as she sat across the petite woman. There was nothing left from the white winter, the happy Christmas where the whole of the town seemed to unite. Lately, it almost felt like the streets were a ticking bomb ready to explode, with people verbally harassing others and sometimes going as far as getting their hands on them. Basically, the whole town was going crazy and Sophie couldn’t help but worry. “How are things with you?”

Sora nodded in agreement at the simple words uttered from the other girl’s lips. It had been a crazy week and if she was honest, it seemed as though this year had just gone off to a crazy start. “Things are...” she frowned a little, wondering what was the appropriate word for this situation. She had been lucky to not have been targeted, but somehow, the whole mess had avoided her directly, but a dear friend of hers had fallen under fire of accusations. “Things are good,” she finally responded with a smile because in truth, they were good. “What about you, Sophie?”

“Tell me what you think when you’ve seen it,” Ben said with a gentle laugh, nodding his head. “Oh yeah, definitely, that would have boosted the ticket sales — not that it really needed any help before.”

Sora nodded. “Will do!” she said with a salute. “Mm, yeah, it did well for people who were familiar with Broadway and Les Mis and the story and the book but for people who find things out through movies, that whole world opened up to them after the movie...so it’s like...I don’t know, but I agree with you. I’m sure it was doing well and just got a bonus with the movie.”

“I am insisting,” Kevin nodded, a big grin on his lips. Truth be told, when he got to work in a couple hours he was planning on eating a big slice of pie before his shift, so he needed to save some space. “I know the feeling,” he chuckled. “I’m sorry I can’t provide you with a big cake in this moment. I didn’t recharge my magic powers this morning.”

“Oh, please, don’t feel bad for that,” she chuckled. “I appreciate this much, a cupcake is always a nice treat,” she smiled. “Ah, what else do your magic powers allow you to do?”

“No, I just moved here a year ago after two in England, but I lived in NYC up until that move.” He smiled. “I was on Broadway, and our show was doing a run in the West End, so I moved over there to lead it. Then I decided I needed some time off…running 8 shows a week gets exhausting. So, I moved here.”

As he explained himself, Sora nodded along, attentively listening as he explained his journey. “Oh wow...that certainly sounds tiring, but I bet it was worth it,” she smiled. “A break is good, everyone needs one even if they’re doing something they love for sure. Do you miss doing shows?”

emilymartinelli:

There were very few things Emily hated more than bullies. She loathed seeing arrogant teenagers stomp around campus, thinking they were the height of popularity in the universe, which then gave them the power to inflict pain on others. It could be as little as taunting words, but no matter the incident, Emily would step in if she saw something happening. More often than not, the situation would go awry with her fellow students picking a bigger battle against her; thankfully, these boys knew better, as too many situations had occurred for them to be unaware of what would happen next. None of them wanted a blood nose – smart. As they walked away, no doubt saying something nasty about her to one another, the quiet girl began to speak. Emily turned to her, confusion flickering across her face for a second; she was expecting a bashful goodbye or, if she was like Sierra Moore, an angry one. But this was cute. She brightened the best she could, despite how tired the seventeen year old was. “I know. I’m afraid to say not everyone’s nice, but hey, there’s good ones out there too. Don’t let them get you down.” She flashed a smile. “I was just doing what any decent person would – so don’t thank me. I’m Emily, though.” Holding out her hand to shake, the senior continued. “You busy, Sora? I could use some company if you want to hang out.”

Sora listened intently as the girl spoke, nodding along to her words as a sign of acknowledgment to herself that she was able to understand very well what she was saying (or at least, she hoped she did). When she held out her hand to her, Sora froze for a moment, her gaze going from her face to the outstretched hand and she only paused for a moment before she took the hand and shook it and offered a smile. “No, I’m not busy,” she said, pleased that at least this was a sentence she was able to string together. “Company? Ah...we are going somewhere?”

“I’m not sure. Maybe. It’s been doing pretty well.” The truth was, Ben didn’t keep track of those kinds of things — but he did hit up the movies every now and again. As she continued on, he had to laugh, lifting his shoulders in the most casual of shrugs. “Phillip probably.” A chuckle escaped him and he shook his head. “Don’t worry about it,” he answered. “I’m pretty sure most people have only seen the movie.”

“Phillip...” Sora nodded, making a mental note of the name so that if she ever saw it, she would remember. “I’m sure you’d make a good Phillip!” she said, despite her lack of knowledge on the character. “Yeah...honestly, that’s probably the case. But I imagine it must have done really well on Broadway afterwards too.”

“Babe, I’m trying to stay in shape for the summer,” he said, running a hand down his stomach which most likely would never ever grow, but he could always pretend. “Go ahead. We got the last two.”

“Are you sure?” Sora asked, wanting to double check but there was laughter in her tone too, because she knew that he wouldn’t offer it to her if he wanted to keep it for himself, surely. “Alright, well if you insist,” she said as she took the cupcake from the box and took a bite out of it. “This is really good...but it’s making my sweet tooth want to indulge in a big cake now.”

ALISON: No, I'm fine but the idea that they could come back isn't exactly comforting since I live alone

SORA: Ah...yes, I can understand that

SORA: But honestly, for such an elaborate scheme and plotting to do something like this and not be caught the likelihood of them striking again so soon is slim...if they do, they're stupid and people will be ready!

SORA: But lets just hope they're caught and no one else gets attacked...

“I don’t know about that. I guess not everyone thinks of going. Are you into shows? Musicals and things?” Ben questioned with a light smile. “Like, have you seen The Greatest Showman? Such a great movie. I really hope they turn it into a stage show. Not gonna lie, already eyeing up a part before it even exists.” He chuckled softly. “But as for Les Mis, I don’t know, I just find it really depressing.”

“I am, yes! I do like those sorts of things but admittedly, I haven’t seen The Greatest Showman yet, I have heard a lot of good things about it though...I’m not sure if it’s still in theatres now,” Sora frowned. She was sure that it had come out about a month ago, so unless she went to older theatres, the chances were she would have to wait for it to come out on DVD or she’d be able to stream it on Netlfix. “Oh yeah? What part?” she asked, wanting to make a mental note so that she could see if the boy would match the role whenever she got around to watching it. “Ah....well, I guess given the context, I can see why...but...don’t kill me I didn’t see the play but I saw the movie....”
