“i said let go of me, you bastard!” arabella replied to her ex-boyfriend as she was trying to leave right after their breakup, but it seems that her ex wasn’t able to let her go especially since they’ve been together since they were twelve.
it would be hard to miss the commotion that was taking part in the middle of the hallway. she was getting something from her locker when it went down as class was just about to start. & upon realising what was going on , the brunette snapped. ❛ hey , what the fuck , ❜ rina shouted , giving the older boy a forceful shove , ❛ she said let go , dickhead. ❜
“venti light iced ristretto–” val stopped staring at the long list of modifications on the drink in her hand. “okay, this is for hannah.” did it say hannah? maybe no. she placed the drink on the mobile order counter & placed her elbows down behind it, her face naturally falling into her hands. “is it 1:30 yet?” she asked the universe, mostly, knowing that there were definitely customers & coworkers in earshot as well.
❛ do people really order that stuff ?? ❜ he can’t help but say , tilting his head at his niece , confusion plastered on his face. he could see she didn’t want to be there. as he was also like at that age. it wasn’t easy working with customers. he never really understand the lavish drinks youngsters tended to go for no matter how much he tried. he saved that for the art in his galleries. a simple espresso was much more his taste , which was just being made. ❛ i do believe you have half an hour left , sweetie. ❜

TW ╳ death
the second youngest of the palermos , she’s never been particularly interested in getting involved in the family business , but has feigned some.
she’s not even biologically related to them. her birth parents are michael & esther arnow , two cops. both of whom died when she was just a baby at the hands of the palermos. rina was soon taken in by them. & as much as she loves them ( don’t ever tell them that , though ) but knows she doesn’t truly belong.
she’s always made the point of making it on her own , without them & their money. ( ironic , in a way , now that she’s profiting of them partially with her podcasts )
she has been fascinated by crime since she was just a child. serial killers , bonnie & clyde , mobsters , anything. & more than most , the crimes of her family.
she started the podcast just under two years ago & it’s grown a little since then. it features a range of crimes , from serial killers to her dear old family’s business.
it was this that lead her to more information about her birth family & their death , leading to articles upon articles & files eventually finding evidence that hinted towards the culprit. she doesn’t quite believe it , yet , everything points towards the palermos.
she’s been off with her parents ever since deep down , not sure what to think or believe , getting closer to them than ever before. she’s been getting more information about the crimes by feigning interest in the family business. she’s trying to get a hold of anything she can. a lot of which , she keeps to herself , waiting to use when the right moment strikes.
she’s always been good at reading people , understanding what makes them ticks , knowing when something is up. & that comes in handy. not just when it comes to getting things from people ( especially her parents ) , but also knowing when a friend is in trouble.
when she turns eighteen , she’s hoping to go to university in boston to study psychology or forensic science.
“listen, i know automatically responding ‘if i die, i die’ as comeback to any life inconvenience is probably a terrible idea. but, i mean, if i die, i die; that’s the truth.”
❛ & what life inconveniences are we talking here , sis ?? i mean , aside from the impending doom from who our family are. could easily die then , ❜ she shrugs with a faint & half depressing chuckle. death has been constant on her mind her whole life. but , never her own. not until lately. ❛ so yeah , if we die , we die. ❜

a small smile carves into his lips at the sight of his son , but it slips when their eyes meet. he doesn’t know why he’s here , like something deep inside him pulling him without any control. it’s obvious his son doesn’t want to see him. he wouldn’t have run away otherwise. ❛ i don’t know. i — i wanted to see you. you’re my son. i love you , ❜ sterling stammers , the words running away for a moment , ❛ come home. please , ethan. ❜
Meredith pulled her suitcase along the sidewalk she was trying to get it from her car back to her house, after everything she finally had to tell her family she was taking a semester off for her mental health trying to keep up the perfect child act was getting to her, and getting booted from college was not something she was willing to share with the family. the small blonde sighed as she pulled her last bag out of her car “I didn’t think I packed my whole life away” she said now figuring out how she was supposed to get it all to her family house.”Hey wanna help a girl out and help me bring these in?” she asked the person passing by her who seemed friendly enough
❛ what’s in it for me ?? ❜ she asks , a light shrug rolling off her shoulders , her arms folding. if one thing is certain , it’s that karina doesn’t offer her services to just anyone without some sort compensation. it’s how you get by in the world. if her family has taught her anything , it’s that. maybe that’s what makes it so easy to go behind their backs , spill their secrets. not that they’ll ever find out.
“you know, most people my age are out partying, traveling and having fun before starting college. meanwhile, i just started another show on hbo, so you can see where my priorities are at.”
❛ & ?? what’s wrong with that ?? people who prioritise partying tend to be the ones who never attend any lectures. ❜ `
it was no secret that addie was bound for great things. of course that didn’t stop her from displaying the fact that she was determined to go to yale by proudly wearing her yale hoodie. sure, she was a sweaty mess but she was happy with her bragging. “have you done the number neighbor thing? mine texted me and i got scared and blocked them.”
his eyes instantly land on his daughter’s hoodie , the word’s ‘ yale ‘ loudly spelt across it , leaving him beaming with pride. but , his attention is brought back to her & her question , squinting in bemusement. ❛ what’s that , sweetie ?? ❜ he often tries to stay up to date with the latest youth crazes , but often finds himself in a mental labyrinth.
