“Didn’t have to take macro until later on, L. I told you that like eight times. I also mentioned that signing up for classes while shit faced wasn’t the best idea.” Typing away at her computer, Dana snorted when Lana turned around to ask a meek little undergrad if he could help her with her homework. The brunette arched a brow as he began stuttering at her. Lana had that effect on most men, it seemed. “He couldn’t find his dick with both hands, I don’t think he can even conceptualize what’s in the book in front of you.” She said, sipping her own coffee as she eyed the interaction.

“Oh whatever, you’re not my mom, I get to make all the bad decisions I want,” Lana charmed back before turning around to the person behind her. She watched the guy in front of her struggle to find his words, her gaze never wavering. She patiently waited for his answer, leaning towards him while she twirled her hair. Hearing Dana’s snarky comment she moved on of her hands back, unseen by anyone else, and extended a single finger, all while maintaining her gaze back on her new friend. “Well, why don’t you just look over it for me a bit, yeah? See what you can manage, you look like quite the brainiac,” she cooed, leaning further to pass her homework, giving a quick wink before turning back to Dana. “That wasn’t too nice now, Dee,” she smirked, reaching over to steal some of her friends coffee.

“Right as rain,” Jamie quipped affably, despite the ongoing race of his heart. But he was coming down as quickly as he’d gotten worked up. “Oh, well, I’m sure - I’m sure that’s not true. You at least know some of the vocabulary, I’m sure, plus you have that student-test-taking-knowledge. I haven’t taken an academic exam in - well. A while.”

“Good,” she nodded curtly. Lana listened as he spoke, smiling warmly, “Ah, yeah, guess that is true. I would at least be able to write my name. A while? That’s lucky, of course, I really haven’t either,” she joked, before changing the subject, “I’m Lana by the way, sorry I didn’t say so before”

So startled was he by the sudden blur of first blonde hair and then the woman’s voice that Jamie nearly coughed on his coffee - he pressed his napkin to his mouth, watering eyes blinking at the girl, and a good seven seconds passed before he was able to breathe properly again. “Sorry,” he said, sounding a bit wheezy and reaching for his water glass. “No, I don’t. I mean —– I could still do the exam for you,” he said with the hint of a smile, “But I can’t promise good results.”

Lana watched the reaction, a coy smirk playing at her lips. “Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you, are you alright?” Moving to face him a but more comfortably she nodded, “Well, I’m sure you’d do far better than I would, I haven’t really been the best student all term, a cat could probably score higher on this than me.”

“Oh Christ...” Lana huffed for the twentieth time since she had sat down in the booth, staring down at her work. She had worked her way through two cups of coffee before even touching her assignment, and she didn’t want to start now. Hooking her arm around the back of her booth she leaned back over to the person behind her, “Hey, so, do you happen to know anything about macroeconomics? I’ll give you 200 cash to do this practice exam for me,” she offered, flashing a signature grin.

“Just because they’re designer and limited edition doesn’t mean they go with everything. You should try them with a nice pair of heels and get drunk in them. Where it’s dark. And no one really cares.” she shrugged slightly and flashed the other girl a smile. 

“But these do, they look good, you must be blind,” Lana finished, rolling her eyes and laughing, “I like them, so, whatever. I mean, don’t you have something to do other than police peoples outfits today?”

Dana quirked a brow at Lana’s quip, playful smirk pulling on her lips. “Fucking excuse me, bitch; that tone is unhelpful. A simple no would have been fine.” Pocketing her unlit cigarette, she glanced over at her blonde friend. “What happened?”

“Hey, fucking, sorry for trying to save your life. When you heel over coughing and don’t get back up you’d wish you had done the same,” she rolled her eyes, a short chuckle following. Giving a deep sigh she tilted her head back, “Oh you know, the usual, men. Just, work stuff. I mean, all the finals I’m going to fail doesn’t help”

danamonroe:

“Aye! You got a light?”

“First, no, and second, gross.” Lana shot back quickly, sliding down to sit next to Dana, “They are horrible for you, you know? That’s why I quit... Although, I could totally use one now..”

“Not to be a buzz kill, but I’m like 95% sure that it’s illegal to wear such a hideous pair of shorts with such great shoes.” Addison said, sliding into the seat opposite them. 

“Excuse me?” Lana gasped, glancing down at her outfit, “No, no, these are designer, from Paris, only about a hundred made, they go with everything. I mean, what would you suggest to wear them with?” she asked, as she tugged the hem of the garment.

Lily blinked over at the other girl in slight shock at being spoken too as well as asked such a question, though she wasn’t sure why. Northpoint was full of people asking questions. “Autumn. I think. I erm I like to get to wear scarves and boots. And the leaves are such pretty colours. Though I do enjoy spring, it’s nice to see the bees out and about.” 

Lana continued to pick at her food, glancing over at the other frequently, a soft smile constant. “That’s true, scarves are pretty nice, yes, yeah.. Bees, butterflies, hearing the little birds, it’s nice, refreshing I guess. It’s like getting a breath of fresh air”

“The wheel thing was bent? Well I hope that person is alright and that they got their car running again. I’m glad this third car didn’t break down as well. If that would have happened I might start thinking that you were a jinx when it came to vehicles,” Aelish teased. “At least you have an interesting story to tell now even if it did take you forever to get to where you were going. You are quite welcome. I would hate to know that you were starving if you did stay in bed forever.” She shrugged, “True. Thank goodness for that. I don’t consider lunch a good thing. After my husband passed away I moved here to be closer to his family yet all she’s done since I came here was judge me.”

“Oh no, that would be horrible, I’m usually quite lucky, I think today karma just decided to hit me a little extra,” Lana shrugged, brushing it off with a laugh. Lana’s features softened slightly, “Oh no, I’m sorry.. That’s quite awful, I’m sure she is just still stressed you know, I’m sure she just cares a lot about you, I assume that’s quite a rough thing for her to go through, but still, it’s not fun to be on the receiving end.”

She had to admit, despite it’s size and lack of information, Northpoint was really starting to grow on her. There was something calming about the place that made it easy to forget about ones problems and made it oh so easy to people watch. Which she found herself doing, enjoying the rare moment of sunshine with an ice-cream while sat on a bench. It was nice to go unnoticed.

Lana had just come from the little coffee shop, armed with a bagel and some tea. She quietly slipped on to the bench next to the other, tilting her face back, basking in the much missed sun, “Mmm, this is quite the treat, yeah? Winter can be fun, but spring I think is my favorite. Everything is coming alive but it’s not too hot yet, it’s just right. What about you, what’s your favorite season?”

“True but as my mother likes to say ‘life happens and we can’t always control it’. So what happened with the second car? How’d you finally manage to get here? Please don’t tell me that you had to walk.” Taking a few napkins, she started to clean up the spilled drink. “Well if you decide to go to bed forever just let me know. I’ll be sure to have some pizza delivered there once in a while so that you don’t starve,” Aelish joked. “Me? I accidental messed up a big order at work and then butt dialed my mother-in-law. She wants to have lunch now.”

“Well, the second car got a flat tire, and the wheel thing got bent, so I had the option of waiting for it to be fixed roadside, or try calling another. Which, I did of course. Still had to wait however, overall very not worth it. I should have just stayed put, got a helicopter, train, boat, nearly anything would have been faster I believe,” she groaned, before nodding and cracking a small smiled, “That is quite the offer, thank you, I will definitely keep it in mind.” Lana listened thoughtfully, “Oh no, I am going to go ahead and assume that’s a bad thing, but, it’s just lunch right? She’s not coming to stay with you?”

“No - the worst that could happen is the boat I sent them out on catch on fire. And even then, that’s not a huge loss.”

“Oh, really? True, unless it’s a quite nice boat, but wouldn’t you have to go through the trouble of getting another?”

Aelish glanced at the woman who sat down next to her, nodding in agreement. “Think it’s a bit ironic when something like that happens.” A car breaking down after picking up someone whose car had also broken down? Ironic, sad, and just a bit funny at the same time. She laughed when the woman’s bag knocked her drink over. “It’s fine. Today really isn’t your day is it? Hopefully today improves and if not then hopefully tomorrow is better. If it isn’t I think you should just go hide in a cave,” She joked.

“Ironic? Yeah, but also known as a massive pain in the ass, I mean, it’s not supposed to work like that,” Lana continued her rant, ending with a breathless laugh. She situated herself at the bar, moving her bag to a safer place, “I know right? I can’t seem to catch a break, but thank you.” Lana waved over the tender, reordering the spilled drink, and one for herself quickly, “Oh god, I will, if it’s anything like today I just will go back to bed, maybe forever, but, enough ‘bout me, was your day any better?”

Stamping through the door Lana sighed, making a beeline for the bar, her heels echoing. “You know what I hate? When the ride you call to pick you up from a break down, breaks down,” she began, chatting up the person she slipped up on the stool beside. Slugging her purse onto the bar, she continued, “I mean, really, you’d think-- Oh no! Shit, I’m sorry,” she sputtered, as her bag knocked the other’s drink over, “Fuck me, I’ll get you another, I’m sorry, today has just not been my day.”

“To be fair, I sort of blame the state of Maine for letting me buy this many fireworks.”

“That almost sounds like you’re going to do something poor with them, but I see nothing bad that could come with a load of fireworks, unless you know, messed up somehow and lit the city ablaze”
