Who would’ve thought Zoe crying would work so well? Well, Zoe thought so. She didn’t get the apple juice she wanted but at least that mean boy wasn’t so mean now. But who says shhh when someone is crying? That’s why she continue, her tears kept falling until she noticed Ricky sitting in front of her. Forgetting all about the juice she started crying over at the beginning, Zoe wiped away her tears, her bottom lips still shaking as she carefully watched what was happening. Oh my… she KNEW he was a WITCH. ”Wha-” What kind of magic was that? Blinking a couple of times, Zoe took a quarter mean boy was giving her… A quarter from her EAR. Watching in shock, Zoe suddenly got all quiet as quarters kept coming and then one dollar bill. Getting up on her feet, Zoe covered her ears, for a second getting scared of the boy… She was right… He could turn her into a rabbit next and what happens then? She couldn’t do what he was doing so now she couldn’t keep scaring him… Zoe did not like this.
[color=“#9d7691”]”MORE, more!”[/color] As long as he was nice he could keep being a witch. While her eyes were still puffy from crying, now there was a grin on her lips as she sat down again, moving closer to the boy. [color=”#9d7691”]”Buttt but only this,”[/color] lifting up one quarter, she put it high in front of Ricky’s face, looking at him seriously. [color=“#9d7691”]”This huwts,”[/color] now lifting up that one dollar bill, Zoe frowned. She was too confused with what was happening to pay attention to it hurting but seeing he was struggling with it, it must’ve hurt her… [color=”#9d7691”]”Wait, NO!”[/color] Getting up again, she held her hands out with little coins in her hands, her gaze down on them. ”Teach me! And you won’t be a wabbit,” slowly looking back at the boy, Zoe pouted, attempting to convince him with her cute puppy eyes.
Now… that makes a lot of sense. Elodie wasn’t going crazy and imaging things, Amelia was really avoiding her. That’s… not great to hear but at least she had some kind of answers now, as much as it hurt. She wasn’t supposed to be home that day, no one was supposed to be there beside her and Riker. And just like he didn’t know why Elodie did what she did, Amelie also couldn’t know it so she couldn’t blame her for behaving so weird since Elodie returned. Now this only made her look stupid with so many messages she sent to her girls during that time… pretending like everything was right because they weren’t supposed to know what really happened. It was really worse than she thought… And hearing that only caused Elodie to frown. That smile she was forcing now completely disappearing and she couldn’t put it back on.
She couldn’t even say a single thing, instead she simple listened to what Riker was saying and then nodded. They both couldn’t blame Amie. These were their issues, not Amie’s. He was not ready to come back and she couldn’t blame him. They had to figure… everything out as soon as possible and stop hurting their kids in the process of this whole mess Elodie caused but… [color=“#e0ac8c”]”Not now…“[/color] Why? Well obviously because this was not the best time and place for that and because that wouldn’t be one short conversation… It would take a lot of explanation, everything Elodie was ready to share two months ago before he left. Now they’ll just have to enjoy the wedding and… And what? Don’t blame her for not knowing what to do next, she never imagined she’d be at such event while not really talking to her husband. [color=”#e0ac8c”]”Can I?“[/color] Referring to Lexie and taking her, Elodie softly smiled at the girl, avoiding Riker’s gaze. [color="#e0ac8c”]”I think we’ll go outside… this might start… or you could-“[/color] But she stopped herself from stepping any closer and pulled her arms back, crossing them over her chest now, looking away toward the glass door that lead to the beautiful open field. ”Be with her. It’s fine.“
“Well, my favourite thing about carnivals is usually the food.” They admitted. While they would always go if one of their siblings asked, Niko was never really big on rides and mostly just enjoyed being there for the experience. When Leah pointed to a stand and asked what it was, they couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s cotton candy” They answered, the food being a carnival staple for them. “Have you never had any before?” They asked, their curiosity peaked.
“I’ve heard of carnival food. Is it as good as they say?” Niko said the substance was cotton candy,t? Cotton isn’t meant to be eaten. and Leah blinked. “Why would they make that? Cotton isn’t edible. No, mother and father never let me have anything sugary. Can we get some? I have money.” @Caticorn - Niko
“It’s really bad for you but it does taste really good.” Niko explained, answering Leah’s question about the food. Again, they could help but laugh at Leah’s reaction to hearing about the cotton candy, finding it somewhat adorable. “It’s not actually cotton. They just call it that because when it’s spun it looks like cotton.” They explained to her. “It’s really just flavoured sugar. We can definitely go buy some. I feel like it’s something that everyone has to try at least once in their life.” They added with a smile.
“Oh, ok. I might as well try it.” Leah said, walking over to the stand, and getting some. She put a piece in her mouth, eyes widening. “Oh my gosh, this is so good! Maybe this is why mother never let me have any. It’s addicting!” She cheered, stuffing another piece in her mouth. @Caticorn - Niko
Amanda was the type of girl who could really be found among any group of people. It all depended on what, or who, was of interest to her at a time. This did include being found at parties, even if she preferred a less busy environment, in a similar social group to Mason. They were not friends, but they were far from strangers. ”Most people didn’t really expect me back after being gone for a year.” Amanda nodded slightly listening to Mason, but even with his joking tone she wasn’t interested in a lighthearted conversation with him of all people. Make a fool of a girl once, and she won’t repeat the same choices she realized weren’t what they should have been. Though, then he asked how she had been. ”Fine really, after being away from Beryl. Stayed with my aunt. Took a step back from social media and tech, so I’m doing great. How about you? The break up must be treating you well I’m guessing, at least I assume since you did kiss someone else?”Amanda said, referencing the Blue Royalty post about his kiss with Olivia.
Katherine… No, Macy… No Katherine hated everything about having to switch schools. Depending on the situation you’d either meet Katherine, the real girl or Macy, this fake girl she’d pretend to be when she wanted to have a little fun but that would be the death of her. That wasn’t fun now when she was in a school where there were half the people she thought she’d never have to see again… Half the people that didn’t really know who she was and she didn’t want to explain. So what was left to do? Keep pretending.
It’s been two months since Katherine arrived and she tried to stay under the radar, avoid everyone and go straight back home after school. During lunch break, she’d find the library and stay in the corner until she’d have to go back to class. So to say this was hell would not be a lie. As much as she didn’t like her old school and never had that many friends, the roof collapsing was the worst thing that could’ve happened. If it wasn’t for that, Katie would’ve never been in this situation. Of course, she met a few people, made some acquaintances but she still had to be careful around them and who they hang out with… Wouldn’t want to bump into someone she met before.
Having the night off, Katherine decided to go back to town and see the carnival for herself. It was the only exciting thing she had no problem approaching at this point… So many people would be there, what were the chances of her finding someone she wanted to avoid? She’d just search for… some of her friends and have the time of her life as she always has when she’s out. And she’d had to avoid people like… Kaya, Embry, Raphael… Katie saw them in school and everyday was a mission to have them not see her. Maybe they still don’t know she goes to their school, and if that’s the case she’d like to keep it that way as long as possible. A huge cup of beer in her hands, walking around like a 12 year old with it, hoping no one would stop her so she doesn’t have to get out her fake id… Katie was enjoying this little lonely moment of just walking around. It’s been a while since she’d actually gone out like this and she missed it, missed having a little fun. And this, well, this was beautiful - so many colorful, flashing lights, kids running around with stuffed animals their parents probably got playing one of the games… and cotton candy! Seeing that from the corner of her eye, Katie’s grin grew bigger and she chugged down the beer she was holding as she turned to the side in an attempt to head that way but as soon as she did, she almost bumped into a girl who was simply walking. Holding her hand out to stop the girl from bumping into her and to stop herself, Katie’s eyes were on the empty cup she was holding, [color=“#c0bed3”]”It’s a veeeery good thing this is empty.”[/color] Now raising the cup she was referring to, a shy smile replaced Katie’s grin but… The moment she saw who was standing in front of her, she went still, her expression completely changing to panic. Sht. Embry. No. Okay… chill. You’re not in school, you’re at a carnival… Things like this happen. You’re Macy. [color=”#c0bed3”]”Who would’ve thought we’d see each other again?”[/color] Come on, smile. A grin slowly appeared on Katie’s face, crossing her arms while tightly holding the empty cup. ”Hope you remember me or this will be reeeeally embarrassing for me,” a soft chuckle escaped her lips as she tried to confidently keep her eyes on Embry.
Andy may have had a soft spot for all of Jess’s kids, but what was always on top of that list. I swear to god sometimes he wondered how she wasn’t his own child because the two were so damn connected. Honestly though, he loved her like she was one of his own, or like a little sister, something close. That little nugget always managed to make him feel better and smile even when he was sad, gotta say, you’re pretty talented kid.
”Flower girl huh? So are you going to turn into a flower? Or are you going to shoot flowers at me? Or maybeeee are you going to water those? ” he asked pointing at a bunch of flowers nearby raising a brow at the girl. ”come on show me what you got flower girl” he said with a smirk
”hmmm yes that’s true” he said with a slow nod ”guess we’ll have to go on a nugget search party am I right?” he said with a light smile, glancing at Aidan too ”wanna join the party?” he asked with a challenging smirk
Then cutie little Aidan asked him if he could teach him how to play the guitar for Christmas. For his birthday a while back, Andy got him a little guitar, and now he wanted to learn how to play it, which made Andy smile ”of course I’ll teach you little guy” he said ”you’ll be even better than I am in no time” he added with a smile
JP gasped putting a hand on his chest, ”how dare you?” he asked as she threatened his nugget title ”although, the Shay and Aidan stamp of approval is higher up than the Amelia stamp of approval, though I do want both, but you still can’t take away my title missy” he said with a playful smirk
If we’re being honest out here, when he asked if she was sure, he expected her to think a little and say no, not that he was complaining, he just wasn’t expecting that. “I’m not backing out, JP.” She whispered, after pulling him into a random room which seemed to be the gift room, pinning him against the closed door, pulling him down for a kiss.
Well. So there’s that. ”neither am I” he whispered as turning her around so she was the one pinned against the door, trailing kisses down her neck as his hand were on her waist
”Im doing it I’m doing it hold your horses” she said before downing her drink. Downing champagne, that must be a new invention to humanity, hit them up when you want their interviews to put in history books.
”AM NOT” Kaya raised her brows as he accused her of giving up on the boy and disappointing ”if I see him again I’ll make sure I also see his parents see I’m a responsible adult zek” she said crossing her arms
As they were about to go explore, he seemed to pause for a moment looking at something, in the distance she saw his ex Sophie, walking hand in hand with Alex. life was always a btch when it came to ex issues. Frankly she didn’t know how he felt about that, but it didn’t seem to be the best thing he had seen today. ”don’t let it ruin your day we haven’t even explored yet” she told him
But not now, now let’s go explore. He then grabbed her hand and pulled her around some hall, there was a door that didn’t open but then they continued and found a beautiful garden field thing with glass windows and lots of big fancy stuff ”wow.” she mumbled
Then Zek asked her if she was ballsy enough to have sex with someone in one of these rooms, she raised her brow in surprise ”why, are you volunteering?” she said, laughing as he said he wasn’t suggesting it. ”Not worrying, just deeply utterly sad I won’t be having sex with the sex god of the music production world” she said with a dramatic tone to her voice, clearly joking as she pretended to wipe a tear from her eye
”Got a lighter?“ ”aren’t you the one with the lighter usually?” she raised her brow with a light head shake ”hold on let me check” she said while digging her purse for a lighter ”gotcha” she said as passing it to Zek
This wedding sure had its share of annoying people, but it didn’t mean she couldn’t enjoy the rest of it. Taking a little mini dessert from one of the passing waiters, she made her way towards the center of events, looking around. Then out of nowhere she felt a pair of arms wrapping around her from behind, turning her around to kiss her, catching her a bit unprepared or surprised as she didn’t even see him coming.
Pulling away from the kiss, he started complaining about how much Dorian DeLoughrey got on his nerves and stuff, suggesting an elevator in the venue to… ”So is this your strategy for hitting on women? Because I’m not sure it’s working” she told him, raising a brow ”sorry, do I know you?” she then asked the man
Niko followed Leah to the stand and stood in line behind her. “Yua, hold on tight.” They instructed as they adjusted their hold on her, making it so that they held onto her with their arm while their hands were free to open their purse and retrieve their wallet. They rejoined Leah once they’d bought their cotton candy, smiling at her reaction to eating it. “It really is.” They agreed, pulling a small piece off of theirs and feeding it to their daughter. “Have you really never had it before?” They asked, still trying to process the fact that this girl seemed to have never experienced anything before.
Cerulean High
He was also from Cerulean High, off f*cking course. He was probably new, because Eryx has never seen him in his life. Why did every annoying person he meets need to have some connection to his school? Well every single annoying person was an exaggeration, luckily. But still why? Couldn’t they say they were people who came to this town for a vacation? Why does the universe fricking hate him? What next, Persephone will appear and ruin his mood even more? “Why do you want to know where I go to?” He arched a brow, “So you could stalk me? Are you a fan of my parents or what?”
Tsumuji took the food happily, “Thank you.” She gave a kind smile. Persephone proceeded to ask her how she was and Tsumuji clapped her hands., “Really excited.” She looked up towards the Roller coaster. It’s been so long since she rode it “Want to ride with me? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” She gave Percie her best puppy doe eyes.
After Jackie mentioned which school he went to, he noticed the guy looked dissapointed and maybe a little disgusted. For a few second the guy was silent thinking of a response, which is odd because it’s not a question you have to think before answering. Giving an answer to this question is the same as answering what your mother’s name is. You either spit it out or keep it in and say you don’t want to answer … However, he finally spoke "Why do you want to know where I go to?” He arched a brow, “So you could stalk me? Are you a fan of my parents or what?” Jackie was confused now. No way … if he’s famous enough to be so cocky and think himself so important, this mean he’s from the same school as Jackie. He stared at him for a while to figure out if he knows him or off him, but to no avail. “No offence, but who the f?ck are you and why would I ever stalk anybody?”
Embry arrived at the carnival, alone, with a smile on her face. After much convincing, her parents had finally given her permission to drive herself to the carnival. This meant that for the first time in months, Embry would be arriving at an event unescorted. The past month had been rather uneventful for her, so the excitement of the evening was escalating her mood to the point where she wasn’t sure if anything could possibly dampen it.
As she walked through, she made sure to take in every detail of the evening and even take a few pictures to post later on. The crowd of her classmates was one that made her feel at home and ready for anything. It seemed like the possibilities for the night were endless with the wide variety of rides, games and activities that were included in the carnival. Even the food had dozens of options to choose from.
Embry was quickly brought out of her daze by someone almost bumping into her and as the girl began to speak, Embry found herself face to face with a girl she’d honestly never expected to see again. Macy. She continued to talk and Embry let a soft laugh escape her lips as Macy said she hoped she remembered her. “How could I forget?” She said, a small smile appearing on her lips. Despite her heart belonging elsewhere now, she had to admit that it was nice to see Macy again. “What are you doing here?” She asked, knowing that the last time she had seen Macy, they hadn’t been in Beryl Heights and as far as Embry knew, she didn’t attend Cerulean High.
Thank God he didn’t know who Eryx was, hopefully they never cross paths in school or anywhere else ever again. And why would he want to stalk him? “Why did you ask about which school I go to then?” Eryx asked, “Is it your job to ask everyone which school they go to?” Eryx adjusted his sunglasses, yes he was wearing sunglasses in the winter . What are you going to do about it? Call the fashion police? “And mind you, you don’t even know my name and we aren’t friends or acquaintance… so your reason is?”
Kaya a resposnisble adult? Excuse him for laughing at that, she was far from it. Not that he was any better… but putting the two of them together… Yeah, let’s not talk about responsibility. And saying that out loud, Zek knew she’d turn that conversation to him and possibly roast him. It was not time for that, it was time for exploring and trying to ignore Alex who was with a girl he only used in the past. Only smiling and shaking his head as if it didn’t matter once Kaya saw what Zek was looking at and told him not to let it ruin his day. He can… try.
Try by drinking and smoking. Kids, listen up. Never drink and never do drugs. And never do it at the same time. But Zek wasn’t a kid, he can do whateeeever he wants. A sweet smile on his lips seeing that Kaya was in awe with the place just as much as he was. But that smile soon faltered and he almost choked on the champagne hearing how she answered his question. [color=“#707151”]”Oh,“[/color] was he volunteering? Once again placing the glass down, Zek crossed his arms, still leaning against the door frame as he pretended to think about it. I mean… he could volunteer… it wouldn’t be that bad. Not bad at all. Was it something he never thought about before? Okay, no. Not thinking about that with your best friend. [color=”#707151”]”I’m sorry for not being able to make your wish come true, I don’t want Andy to strangle me,“[/color] replying in the same joking manner, Zek grinned at Kaya before sitting down, facing the garden and fresh air. Let’s be honest here, trying anything with her was just… wrong. Wasn’t it? And he really believes Andy would kill him for trying something with his daughter, especially when they are such good friends. That just makes it… seem like he wants to be around her for only that reason. Yeah? … No. [color="#707151”]”Sorry for disappointing you, once again,“[/color] referring to her saying how he’s the one with a lighter, Zek patted the spot on the cold stone floor next to him, signaling for her to sit down. ”And thank youuuuu.“ Taking the lighter from her, Zek lit his cig and with a sweet smile looked back at Kaya, holding it out for her to take if she wanted. Hopefully this time his fun doesn’t turn into a forest fire… or in this case, a vineyard fire.
[color=“#707151”]”Hey, can I…“[/color] clearing his throat, Zek looked away from her, his voice getting quiet and serious. [color=”#707151”]”Ask- Do you, maybe-“[/color] No. Not now. There is still time. He can still… go on like this. And deal with it… when the time actually comes. So… think of something else to say! Sht… This probably sounded wrong, considering what they talked about just minutes ago. ”Maybe we should just go back and find a seat. There’s… time to explore later, when people are too busy celebrating…“ His voice still quiet, Zek weakly smiled, taking another hit and looking out in the distance.
Jackie was slowly regreting starting the conversation. He’d rather just stay silent and make the other person think he was weird, than endure more of this conversation with this clueless ma … boy. Jackie answered with a sigh. “I asked you about your school because it’s normal f0cking conversation.” he added an eyroll just in time for the kid to say something even more posh. “Are you kidding me? I don’t know how I didn’t notice you were famous before, I guess because you didn’t speak. But from you assuming people asking you where you go to school when talking to you means they are stalking you, I can tell you think too high of yourself.” As the Ferris wheel was reaching the ground, Jackie felt like saying the next line would fit in perfectly with that. “What will you do now, when you reach solid ground? You can’t act like yourself around normal people, they’re assume you’re either crazy or an a**hole, depending on which one you’re acting like, and you don’t want the public to see you that way. But my question for you is … Why would anybody want to stalk you? You can’t even hold a normal conversation.” As Jackie was standing up he said “And I mean that. A conversatin with you will leave the other person uncomfortable or disliking you, but I don’t mean that you’re a bad person or that you are creepy or something, I just mean that if you ever get into a normal conversation again, and somebody asks you something like I did, if you openly assume they’re spying on you for that … Well you’ll hardly ever talk to that person again, unless you start the conversation and they’re too polite to just leave it, like I’m about to … But not before I ask you … Who the f0ck are you, anyways?”
