CRUEL SUMMER (2021)
1x01 – Happy Birthday, Jeanette Turner
MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT
WHO @zoepuckerman and lj holliday. WHEN fri. 4/23 WHERE lima bean party.
the party was a success as far as lj was concerned. and even more successful? bentley lynn as a bouncer. lj and sterling took shifts checking on him and providing him booze and blunts throughout the night in addition to his monetary payment. the party was fun. lj didn’t miss high school, but this felt nice. she’d never admit it, but maybe she did miss some of these people. someone she didn’t miss though…zoe puckerman. so as she saw the blonde marching through the party directly to her, lj wasn’t sure if she should be pissed at zoe herself, or bentley for doing a shitty job as bouncer. meeting zoe halfway through the party, she was quick to engage, “i thought i made it real fuckin’ clear you weren’t invited.” over the music, lj loudly asked, “can you just get out man?”
while many things had changed in her life since graduating high school, one thing that hadn’t changed was zoe’s complete and total inability to listen to the directions and opinions of those around her. as far as she was concerned, zoe puckerman only had to report to one person: herself. so while lj holliday thought she was onto something by publicly disinviting her to some lame, high school reminicisent party, she was also clearly stupid. zoe had never gave a flying fuck about lj’s desires, especially not following her breakup with eli. in fact, it was imagining lj’s shock as she burst through the door that had zoe excited and throwing back alcohol before she even left her childhood bedroom. it seemed as if lj was the only one who didn’t want her to show up, because they second they entered the party, zoe was met with smiles, hugs, and a whole lot of shmoozing until she heard the screechy voice coming towards her. “and i thought i made it real fucking clear that i don’t care about what you want,” she snarled, stepping dangerously close to the other blonde. “i can, but i don’t want to. sleeping on some slut’s couch doesn’t mean you get to boss me around.”
WHO : @crhqstarters & Ziggy Gilbert. WHERE : Callbacks, over the bar. WHEN : Tuesday, 21/04. Near closing.
Tuesdays were not the strong suit of Callbacks as a venue. It was, like most bars, the kind of place that lived at the weekend and clawed its way through the rest of the week. Similarly, Ziggy was clawing his way through the last hour-and-change of his shift. It was the slowest part of an already slow night; the customers were few and far between, and performers even less so. The few that did take to the stage were... trying. He was nowhere near the calibre of a professional himself, but he knew a thing or two about music. He liked to think he had a right to critique them in his head, at the very least.
With a wince, he endured the current singer's loud, blaring, mic-clipping belt. He needed something more distracting than wiping down glasses. Flopping the rag over his shoulder Ziggy strode across the bar, stopping just short of one of his few remaining patrons. "Can I get you another one of those?" he asked, with a silent plea of please say yes. "Or maybe something different? Like a cocktail that means I have to use the blender?"
zoe puckerman liked to party, that much was evident by the sudden shift in her lifestyle. and moreso, she liked to send it harder knowing she’d be leaving nyc for lima the next day. with both eli and dallas on her arms, zoe felt like she was on top of the world. no one (even the lima losers that plagued her life), could kill her vibe. what she hadn’t accounted for was the weak, watered-down drinks that callbacks liked to serve on a regular basis. on one hand, she shouldn’t have been surprised. it was no scandals - that was clear by the tacky decor and questionable music, but on the other hand? they were paying upwards of $14 a drink and well drinks weren’t cutting it anymore. with a little bit of booze muscles under her agenda, zoe sidled up to the bar. “no,” the reply was sharp, clear, and to-the-point. “what you can do is give me two shots of tequila on the house. this drink,” she began, placing the nearly-full martini on the bar, “is disgusting and i’m not finishing it.” zoe raised an eyebrow in ziggy’s direction before plopping herself on the stool across from him. “so,” she paused, reading the name tag sketched plastered to his chest, “what’s it gonna be, ziggy?”
COOL IT
WHO @zoepuckerman and austin nelson. WHEN friday 4/23. WHERE lima bean party.
once in a blue moon, austin was actually able to get out of the house to enjoy himself. he had stepped up well into being a family man, but he was still just twenty years old and liked to party. this week had been nice. he had work off in preparation for the wedding, winnie was taking care of the kid, and with each sip of his cup, he relaxed into the party scene he’d been missing. all was well, until, he heard shrieking from the other end of the party that could only mean girl fight. racing to the scene, austin was appalled to find zoe and lj getting into it. maybe at one point, he would’ve gawked and cheered it on, but that wasn’t him now. with an irritated, “for fucks sake.” he stepped into the heat of the battle and pulled zoe off of lj. guiding her away from the other, he shook his head. “what the fuck has gotten into you zozo?” austin asked, unfamiliarly stern. “you trying to get a black eye for the big day tomorrow?” he teased, hints of a smile showing. if he weren’t trying to scold, maybe he’d tell her that she was definitely winning the fight and atta girl. seeing as that wasn’t the case though, he cleared away any signs of pleasure from his face with a cough, and advised, “seriously you need to fucking cool it though, z. that was….nothing like you. what even happened?”
zoe puckerman hadn’t gone into the night thinking she’d end up throwing punches in lj holliday’s direction..... then again, she hadn’t gone in 2041 thinking the love of her life would drop her like a hot potato. anyone who really knew zoe knew she had been hurting. heartbroken, even. in a way that was different from their high school breakup. theo beiste had, and unfortunately still was, zoe’s everything. she had always been a firm believer that theo was her person, so to see him smiling and leaning into sterling duval, of all people? well, it had her seeing red faster than someone could say “prom queen”. and to add salt to an already festering wound, zoe’s sworn enemy lj holliday decided to open her big, dumb mouth. all it had taken was a couple of words for zoe to channel the tequila in her system and her inner-father to pull back and throw a fist. it was over before it even started, and as zoe felt a pair of arms form around her waist, her legs went flailing. “fuck you, you stupid bitch,” she screamed as she was being pulled towards the door. in a strange twist of fate, a pool of warmth spread throughout zo’s heart as she was placed down and turned to face the first person to ever really have her back. “i hate her,” she scoffed through broken breaths. “this is me. i guess you just don’t know me anymore,” a lie, and while she liked to think she was tough, zo knew she couldn’t lie to him, of all people. “he was flirting with sterling and lj thought it was funny.” zoe wasn’t normally someone who liked to show emotion, but tequila had a funny way of changing things. “i miss him,” her eyes wide and cast down. “and he can’t even look at me.”

renzoadams:
renzo was definitely someone who dealt with his problems internally. sometimes that manifested with him deflecting or imposing his problems on other people…but he was working on that. but today he got in a fight with his biological dad. they had been in touch recently, and though their interactions were usually limited to renzo throwing money at him to shut him up…renzo thought he would try for once. he skipped class and got breakfast with his dad at some brunch spot in the city. long story short, his dad ended up calling a server a slur and renzo ended up cursing him out and throwing him out of the establishment. he was just embarrassed. so embarrassed that he didn’t want to talk to anyone about it. zoe’s persistent banging and yelling left him with no choice. he threw off his covers and flung open the door to his dorm room, in nothing but his sweats and an undershirt. “get the fuck in here and stop yelling.” he shouted back at her, closing the door as he ushered her in. “you can’t just show up here and cause a scene like that, my residents are gonna think I broke your heart or some shit. I got a positive reputation to uphold.” he sassed.
anyone who knew zoe puckerman knew she didn’t stop until she got what she wanted, and in this case, she wanted answers. from renzo. “lorenzo adams,” zoe snapped, kicking the toe of her boot against his door. “if you don’t open this fucking door right now, i-” as if on cue, the door opened to reveal the man in question. “hi,” she sighed, undeniably happy to see him alive. another thing that still left her dumbfounded on a daily basis. “oh please,” she laughed whilst throwing herself down on his bed. “you’d be fucking lucky to let those freshman think we used to bang. i’m out of your league, adams,” their playful banter was clearly one of the things that stayed the same. “where were you? you missed class.”
