Oh so i see. The dot isn’t that bad to work at either. I’m sure whatever you do you’ll be listening to some great music.

[unworthyofgold]

I’m sure it’s not, but it wasn’t exactly my first choice. Too many familiar faces there. Here’s hoping. Music always makes the job a little bit easier.

[hunterhollingss]

Sounds boring.

[unworthyofgold]

Jobs aren’t exactly supposed to be entertaining. And it’s a lot better than some of the other jobs out there.

Cam: Yeah it seems crazy, you're supposed to graduate and have everything figured out. She does, I definitely think she's the right person for the job. No one knows how to get things done like her and she gives some pretty solid advice. Yeah, that's the one. Kind of, I mean that's where I first saw her of course, and then we started talking and haven't really stopped. It's just, I don't really know what to do about it.

Eli: Well, I'm sure no one expects us to have /everything/ figured out, as much as it may seem that way. We still have time to grow. Exactly, I have no doubts she'll pull it off quite well. That she does. Right, well, talking is usually a good sign. What do you /want/ to do about it? And after you answer that question, what's holding you back from doing what you want?

[gracecardinal-archived-blog]

Does that discount go for your friends too?

[unworthyofgold]

Pretty sure I’d be able to work something out. I could probably get my hands on something and you could pay me back, if you have any special requests.

Cam: Yeah, It'd be really nice and then all of us will be graduated and that will be really weird. Right, I'm sure Grace will be on top of that and I'll be more than happy to help in any way that I can. Well, yeah...I mean she helped with the play so I think you'd know her...Frankie.

Eli: Yep. I'd like to believe life after high school is at least a little bit more exciting, yet probably three times as stressful. I'm sure she'll be a great leader. She's got all of the necessary characteristics to be one. Ah, the other Hollingsworth twin, eh? How long have you been friends with her? Is this from hanging out at Hunter's place too much?

[princessxarlene]

Why wasn’t it exactly what you expected it to be? Well, that’s good. Employee discounts are always great to have.

[unworthyofgold]

I didn’t mean that in a bad way, I just didn’t expect to luck out this way. I figured I’d end up working at The Dot or something, but I actually like where I ended up. Definitely. I may just have to invest in a Crosley so I can listen to some of these.

[primadonnabecky]

A record store? Those still exist? Didn’t records go out of date like twenty years ago?

[unworthyofgold]

Yes, they do indeed. They may not be as common these days, but records and record players are still available. The newer technology allows them to sound a bit better than they used to.

[unworthyofgold]

Seems I really lucked out. Getting a job at a record store wasn’t what I anticipated, but I can’t complain at all. The employee discounts are pretty sick and I get to sort through vintage albums for a majority of my hours.

Cam: Haha, good. Hopefully I'll see you at my graduation, that would be fun and you can be the one in the audience like 'wow this is weird, how did we get here?'. How can I not, right? I mean Bianca took a chance on me and I ended up meeting the best people in the world. No no, not Imogen. We're still good friends and everything but I've kind of got a crush on someone new now, have since before the play actually...

Eli: Yeah, depending on where I am at that point, I'd definitely to try to make it there. I'm sure it'd be a weird feeling seeing you guys all graduate, but I'll be proud, that's for sure. Exactly. You've got to make sure the newbies hold the group together by the time you leave. Though I'm sure that won't be much of an issue. Ah, you do? Do I happen to know of this person?

Clare: glowered at the male in front of her, feeling an innate need to argue with and embarrass him. Even though she knew she would be better off letting him slither back to his corner, she couldn't stop herself from being aggressively nosy. "Shopping?" she echoed with an air of disbelief, snickering as she shook her head. "This isn't a place for you to shop, Elijah. There are skulls and vials of blood missing," the girl said pointedly, gesturing to the generic items around them with a mean smirk. She was being petty, she knew that, but being a Princess had made her enjoy being snide. Before she could mouth off further, she watched as Eli attempted to make a getaway, only to drop a bottle of pills. She stiffened at the sight of the bottle, her eyes widening. "What was that?" she barked as he attempted to retreat. As only Clare Edwards would do, she followed him and made a quick attempt to block his exit. "See? You are a liar." She folded her arms across her chest and quirked both eyebrows as high as they would go. "Well? Do you have something to say for yourself or are you going to make me turn you in?" she asked, cocking her head to the side. She was taking a little pleasure in humiliating him, but she was also very interested to know why he had stolen medication. Were they for him? Or did he take him for a friend, possibly his girlfriend?

Eli: rolled his eyes at her comments, not at all in the mood to deal with her judgmental remarks at the moment. Usually he would've come up with some sort of witty response, but all he could focus on was finding a way to escape without much further questioning. However, to his inconvenience, it was clear that the girl had indeed noticed the pills fall from his pocket. As she quickly moved in front of him, he crossed his arms defensively against his chest, glaring at her as he tried to figure out how to explain what she'd just seen. "I don't have to explain anything to you," he muttered, still hoping to intimidate her enough to the point of surrender. At her threat, he swallowed hard, fighting the urge to show any of his anxious emotions on his face. "I needed to pick up a prescription, happy?" Eli practically spat, his demeanor clearly turning to a nervous wreck. "I'm taking medication. I needed a refill - no one happened to be at the window." Instantly regretting how much he'd told her, he shook his head, shoving his hands into his pocket as he gripped the vial. "You don't need to turn me in for anything. Like I said, I have to go." He attempted to glare at her threateningly, though his eyes seemed to beg her to let him leave without discussing the subject further.

Cam: Hey I just want to be prepared lol. I still have two left but I'm sure when I reach graduation it'll feel just as weird for me as it did for you. New people could be fun, they wouldn't replace any of you but still, they need a chance. Noted, not text message. If I still have the same crush as I do now, which is highly likely, hopefully I'll have gained enough confidence to do such a thing.

Eli: Hah, right, of course. Yeah, I'll bet the time will fly by. At least it'll seem that way when you're standing on the stage at graduation. Oh, of course not, but yeah, give 'em a chance. They might surprise you. I'm sure you can manage that. The same crush as you do now? Wait...are you still into Imogen?

Bianca: could feel her skin heat up as he lips moved towards her ear, laughing at his words and quickly leaning in to kiss his cheek, "Oh hush up, dork." Her head lolled back, closing her eyes and savoring the feel of his lips on her collarbone, then her neck. Lazily opening her eyes, she was met with the sight of his stunning eyes and she couldn't help a loving sigh as her hands reached up to cup his cheeks. She lifted her hips when she felt him pulling off her shorts, feeling the air hit the wet spot on her underwear. Her fingers threaded through his hair, watching as he looked down before looking at her again, laughing softly at his expression. She opened her legs wider as he softly pressed his weight down on her, shuddering as her body reacted to the feeling. A smirk played on her lips at his question, her hot breath mingling with his as he nibbled her lip, "So glad we're on the same page." She felt his hand between them, moving lower and lower until he was rubbing over her panties, causing her to moan as their lips brushed together. Her hands slid down to grip his back, her hips rolling so she was grinding against his hand, "You're all I want, Eli." She whispered, kissing him hungrily once more. Bianca maneuvered her hands between them, undoing his pants and pushing them down, feeling the tent that was now evident in his boxers. She felt him through his boxers before sliding her hands up his sides.

Eli: chuckled at her response, grinning as he resumed kissing her neck and up along her jawline. As her eyes fluttered open, he paused to gaze into them, his smile beaming at her as she cupped his cheeks. Their eyes seemed to assure each other of their love for each other, silently promising their affections to be true. He was well aware of how desperate he appeared for her in that moment, though he didn't mind one bit. At her response, he grinned, brushing his nose against hers as his hand continued to travel over her body. Hearing her moan made him grin bigger, breathing lightly over her lips as his hand moved slower and slower while she moved against it. "I'm yours, babe," he whispered back, "and you're all mine." As he kissed her back with the same amount of force, his fingers slipped underneath the material, massaging her clit before sliding over her wet entrance. The feeling made his whole body heat up, feeling his erection fighting to escape the confines of his pants. As if on cue, he felt her undoing his pants, assisting her in kicking them off his legs and ankles while continuing to explore her mouth with his tongue. As her hand ran over his boxers, his jaw lowered with a muffled groan, instinctively jolting his hips forward. "Off," he managed to mumble, practically tearing the panties down her hips and off her legs as well. He ran his hand along her entrance before pushing two fingers inside her, moving them vigorously as he fought to control his heavy breathing.

Bianca: looked at him wide-eyed, a big smile spreading across her face as she hit his arm playfully, "Oh, you do? And who go you get that from all the time, huh?" She kept the smile as their locked gaze made the world around them fade away. His words were still hard to believe, she still thought he would leave her once they got to college. Find someone knew. The thought caused her to feel slightly choked up, but she transferred all her emotions into their kiss. She sighed softly, letting her chest fall as she relaxed back on the bed and looked up at him. Her breath caught as his hands slid over her breasts, her body moving gently beneath him as she sighed out a moan. The brunette's mouth fell open as his fingers tweaked her nipples, her arms extending up above her head and grasping at her headboard. His lips found her nipple and her head fell back, moans falling from between her parted lips. She squirmed beneath him, her toes curling while her arms moved till her hands were on his shoulders, sliding over his shoulder blades. Her head lolled to the side to look at him, her voice slightly breathless, "Just take my damn pants off, please. I'm going crazy here." She smirked, her body so restless for him.

Eli: laughed as she hit him, shaking his head. "Mainly you," he answered jokingly as his expression softened, smiling down at her lovingly. As he fondled her breasts, he was incredibly pleased with the sounds she made, and pleased with himself for causing them. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered, "You have the most perfectly shaped, round, wonderful breasts." After he'd cared for her nipples, he moved his lips up her chest, kissing along her collarbone and up her neck. Glancing up as their eyes met, her words made him exhale in excitement as his hands quickly moved to undo the button and zipper before tugging her shorts down and off her ankles. His eyes settled on the small piece of material that was left covering her body before they darted back up to meet hers, gazing at her like an eager puppy. He slowly moved himself closer to her, letting his lower body press down against hers slightly. "I make you crazy?" He whispered seductively before leaning in to nibble her lip gently. "Good, because you make /me/ crazy. The good kind." He brought one hand between them, moving it slowly down her midriff and over the material of her panties until it snaked between her legs, rubbing gently.

Bianca: beamed a smile, her smiling continuing to hide upon her lips as she kissed him. She giggled, pulling back for a moment to give him a sexy look and speak in a low tone, "Then how 'bout you get me to make more of those sweet sounds, eh?" She saw the pleasure washing over him as her hips moved against his, her fingertips digging into his now exposed chest. There was a pulsing starting between her thighs and she could feel that wonderful warmth spread through her veins. Looking up from his bare chest, she gasped as he gripped the back of her head and kissed her. Her hands slid up to cup his neck, whimpering loudly against his lips. Feeling him pull on her shirt, she lifted her arms up and let him remove it. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she giggled happily as he rolled on top of her. Looking up into his eyes, her head cocked to the side, "And you're hot." She teased with a scrunch of her nose, her fingers playing in his hair. Her voice grew softer, "You're also the most amazing man I've ever known. You have my heart, Eli Goldsworthy. And I really never want it back." Her hands slid down his back as she leaned up and kissed him passionately. She nibbled his bottom lip before resting her head down again. Keeping her eyes on him, she arched her back and reached underneath, unclipping her bra and sliding it off. She laid her hands above her head and smirked, "/Now/ how beautiful am I?" She giggled, wiggling beneath him.

Eli: raised his eyebrows at her response, his cheeks flushing as he grinned at her in awe. "I'll do my best," he replied, his grin turning into a devilish smirk as he offered her a wink. He bit back a groan as he felt the growth in his pants brush against her lower area. It was getting harder and harder for him to control his impulses, though he didn't really have to anymore. Her whimpering made him grin, working swiftly to toss her shirt to the ground. Gazing down at her, her comment made him chuckle, shrugging his shoulders playfully. "I get that a lot," he teased back, his smile growing as he felt her hands run through his hair. Eli's smile turned modest at her compliments, letting out a loving sigh as he took a moment to gather himself. "And you have mine. It's a done deal, and it couldn't be more perfect." He grasped her face in his hands as he kissed her back, his heartbeat pounding in his chest. As she broke away, he watched her closely, his jaw lowering slightly as she removed her bra. Eli shook himself out of his trance, the familiar smirk returning to his lips. "You're /incredibly/ sexy, that's what you are," he whispered huskily before slowly bringing his hands to touch her chest. He took a breast in each hand, moving his hands up and down to massage them before gently tweaking her nipples between his fingers. Feeling the pulsating need in his pants, he lowered his lips to her left nipple, nibbling and sucking a bit roughly before moving to the right one. His hands moved down her curves, tracing his fingers over her midriff and right above the hem of her bottoms. Her skin was so soft and delicious, he could never imagine not being completely enthralled by it.

Clare: scoffed at Eli's question. "What am I doing in a store?" The new Queen Bee turned and gestured to the lengthy aisles of product just behind her. "I'm shopping?" she responded, her tone inquisitive as it challenged his obvious lack of thought. She stopped in the midst of berating his intelligence to look him over, her brows furrowing. She wasn't shocked to find an Outsider in the middle of something sneaky, but she was a tiny bit surprised to see it was Eli. She would have expected Zig or even the younger Hollingsworth brother had it not been Goldsworthy that she found. Taking a slow step closer to him, Clare narrowed her eyes and looked at him very calmly. "And should I ask what you're doing here? Or should I save my breath, because I have no doubt you would lie like a coward?" she spat at him, her features mimicking a bitter smile. She really had no reason to be this cruel to him. Regardless of cliques, Eli was a graduate and therefor no longer a factor in the hierarchy at Degrassi, but Clare had the same issue with him as she did with Alli Bhandari. The guilt she felt for betraying them made her cruel in ways she generally couldn't fathom, if only to mask her own regret.

Eli: rolled his eyes at her response, attempting to mask the frustration he felt for giving her the opportunity to make him look stupid. He shoved his hands in his pockets, hoping he'd be able to slip away without any questioning on his part. However, as expected, she wasn't letting him get away that easily. As she stepped closer, eyeing him suspiciously, Eli instinctively crossed his arms, his eyebrows furrowing together as he frowned at her. "And why exactly do you assume I'd need to lie?" He squinted his eyes at her slightly, hoping his tough exterior would help hide his nervous pounding heartbeat. If she, or anyone for that matter, found out that he'd just technically stolen a vial of pills, things would only get worse. "You said it yourself. I'm shopping," He snapped in response before stepping to the side, hoping to take the opportunity to make an escape. Turning swiftly, his hip bumped into a rack of nail polish, causing the bottle to fall out of his pocket. His face turned a deep red as he grabbed the bottle, stuffing it back in as he kept his face turned away from the girl in hopes she'd missed the incident. "I have to go," he spoke quietly before starting to shuffle through one of the nearby aisles.

Bianca: blushed as he spoke about their time of hooking up in the kindest manner. She looked down, trying to hide the smile on her face, "I remember always looking forward to the next time I would be alone with you." Her palms pressed tenderly against his chest, her kiss growing in intensity as she touched his skin. She felt his lips part and their tongues collided, causing her to moan into his mouth. The brunette didn't rush the movement of her hips, allowing herself to slowly grind against him and let the friction build between them. Her head fell back as his lips moved to her neck, her fingertips gradually pressing into his skin. She moved her head so she could look at him again, whimpering in need, "Eli, don't make me beg." Leaning toward him, she pressed her lips against his harshly, kissing him hungrily while her fingertips found the hem of his shirt and tugged up. She pulled back and yanked his shirt over his head, tossing it carelessly to the floor. Her gaze dropped to look at his newly exposed skin, biting her bottom lip and moving her hands to rub up and down his torso.

Eli: smiled back at her shyly before admitting softly, "I did, too." He let out a soft chuckle as her lips met his once again, roaming his hands over her back. Her moan caused him to let out a sigh, whispering, "I don't think I've ever heard a sweeter sound." He closed his eyes briefly as their hips moved together, their bodies practically begging to be rid of the remaining layers between them. Looking up at her, his smirk grew bigger at her reply. Before he had a chance to offer another response, her lips found his hungrily, and he responded by kissing her back with just as much passion. As their lips broke apart, he laughed at her urgency, moving his head closer to hers once again. Eli stared into her eyes as they wandered over his breathing chest, heaving up and down. Feeling her hands trace over his skin, he took a deep breath before grasping the back of her head, crashing his lips to hers once again. Letting himself lose control slightly, his fingers pulled up on her shirt with the same amount of urgency, pulling it over her head swiftly before moving her so that she was positioned beneath him. Taking in the sight, he smiled down at her. "You're beautiful," he breathed.
