As I was on my run a girl ran into me and it made me laugh. I didn’t really understand how someone actually runs into another person, but hey I got a good laugh already this morning. “It’s whatever.” I said to the girl. She had red hair and blue eyes. I was about to ask her what her name was when my phone beeped. I pulled it out and read through the posts that were revealing everyones secrets. I laughed again and couldn’t believe this was happening. I did get a little upset when I saw there was one about Henry cause he is my best friend. “uh, sorry, got distracted. I am Seth.”

“No! But it’s not supposed to be this cold,” she said not even trying to hide the whine in her voice. Life was so much easier when you acted freely and blocked out your responsibilities and wanted to live in the moment. She gently brought the ice over to the swollen part of her forehead and sighed when it made contact. “Ahh! That feels so much better,” she muttered.
“If we’re going to the lake, I’d love to go in the water so I’ll go grab a swimsuit,” she had reached the door when she suddenly remembered. Instead of turning around like a normal person she bent to form a bridge with her back and said, “If you want to go swimming with me, you could take one of my brand new swimsuits, we’re about the same size.”

Freddy hadn’t had a fun time at the PJ party- it was admittedly very boring. When he got home, he saw James and Gabe in front of the TV. James has told him that Melody was asleep, and Freddy had ordered them to bed.
He woke up the next day feeling refreshed. He went downstairs to James on the couch. He didn’t look well, not in a sick way, but in a sad way.
“Hey, James. You alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Freddy turned to the coffee on the counter and called Gabe downstairs. Gabe ran downstairs and slid into the kitchen. “Can I make some pancakes?”
“Sure,” Freddy said. “Only I am going to do the pancake mix, and bake, and serve.”
Gabe pouted. “Please?”
“No. Do you think I want this home to burn?”
Gabe rolled his eyes. “I won’t burn the house down.”
Freddy looked at his phone. He saw the notification and rolled his eyes. “Gee. So fun.”
Gabe went over to look at the notification and laughed. “Look! James!
There’s a cool new site.”
James didn’t reply.
“Jaaaaaaammmmmesss!”
“I really don’t care,” was James’ muffled reply.
Melody came downstairs and went to the pancake mix. She raised it in front of Freddy’s face. He took it and made some pancakes.
Later in the day, Freddy decided to take a walk around the place.
He hadn’t had fresh air much lately, and he needed some vitamins.
Eventually, he sat on the side of the road and browsed the new website. This is complete junk… he thought as he scrolled though the feed.
I chuckled “makes sense” I said
If we’re going to the lake, I’d love to go in the water so I’ll go grab a swimsuit
“Yeah smart move” I said “you do that”
If you want to go swimming with me, you could take one of my brand new swimsuits, we’re about the same size.
I smiled
“Thanks” I said and followed her to get a swimsuit “i really appreciate it.” I said

She giggled. "It's no secret that I'm a wiccan. I've posted pictures of my altar on Instagram." She explained, shrugging. She finished off her tea and got up to throw it out. When she returned to the table, she sat on the chair with her legs crossed. "I understand your concern though. We could go back to my apartment to do the reading if you want. I recharged my cards with the moon last night." She explained, smiling.

As I fiddled with my coffee cup, Tamara told me that she has Wiccan things on her instagram. I facepalmed myself for being so absent minded. “I completely forgot about that. Hopefully no one tries to use that information against you.”
I understand your concern though. We could go back to my apartment to do the reading if you want. I recharged my cards with the moon last night."
I clapped my hands in joy. “I haven’t gotten a card reading from you in a long time, so that would be awesome girl.” I said.
I just rolled my eyes at her and chuckled. “There’s no need to thank me. We’re in this together,” she said as they went up to her room. “I’m sorry my room’s a mess, I haven’t gotten around to cleaning it yet,” she said, smiling sheepishly. She led Noelle to her walk in closet and it was impeccably neat, compared to the previous room. “The swimsuits are in those cardboard boxes,” she pointed at the corner before going over to look for the one she wanted. She then packed her swim bag and turned to Noelle to ask, “Have you found any you like?”

I chuckled “that’s because you haven’t seen my room” I said and followed Vivia into the walk in closet. It was a bit smaller than mine, but mine was too big I kiat had a lot of space left…
I looked through the boxes until I found something, it happened pretty fast considering she had pretty swimsuits
Have you found any you like?
I nodded and got changed “what do you think?” I asked posing with a light smile

His short response to her question gave her the exact answer she needed. He didn’t want to talk about it, meaning he wasn’t ok. But why should that matter to her? She nodded slowly, crossing her arms and taking a step away from him so her eyes could meet his. “It is stupid,” she muttered, her fingers pinching her forearm nervously.
She watched him sit down casually and grab some rocks, tossing it into the water.
“Are you ok?”
His question caught her somewhat off guard as she looked at the back of his head, his fingers meddling with the sand beneath them. She swallowed hard, licking her lips and parting her lips. But nothing came out. She just needed to say it and not think about it.
“Why did you do it?” She finally choked out, her bottom lip shaking slightly. She knew she didn’t want to hear the answer. But she also knew that it ate away at her everytime she thought of it.

“A d d i s o n! Stop calling me that!!”
I laughed as he nudged me and gave him a smile. “Fine, fine. I’ll stop…” I said, pursing my lips in attempt to hide my goofy smile.
“Definitely bumper cars, I’m in the mood for bumping into stuff” I giggled lightly but gave him a humorous salute as we walked towards them. “I’m not even going to ask the reason… But we are doing basketball after this just so I can show you up.” I teased, shoving my hands into my pockets as we waited in line - a very short line that is.

“Well, you seem like a complicated guy.”
He gave an approving frown along with a shrug. “I’m going to take that as a compliment.”
”Not unless you make her mad."
He chuckled nervously at the response, his hands pressing into the back rest of the couch. Him and dogs…never had the best relationships. He’d gotten bitten twice; once when he was five and the other time when he was being chased down for stealing booze.
It was safe to say Aries was, indeed, dogmatized.
“Bruno is totally a female name too,” he breathed out, winking at the dog as if his charm would put him in the clear.
Knox clicked her tongue and the dog sped off to a start, making Aries quite dorkily fling his arms up before falling back into the couch. He swallowed hard as he looked over, laughing it off as he got back up quickly. “Ah, ya know…I *tripped…”
Aries finally found his phone on the floor, a bit nearer to the door. Geez. They’d really gotten wild last night.
He picked it up, scrolling past notifications. He had fifteen missed calls from Stephanie alone, and multiple messages. He swiped them away, wanting to deal with them later. That is until he stopped at un unfamiliar notice. He furrowed his brows and clicked onto it.
It immediately led to a site.
A site that would have made any Lime Grove resident sweat with nervousness. Secrets. Someone had started a website so people could ultimately turn on each other. Pretty sadistic. And risky considering many knew about a few of Aries’s secrets. But…knowing some of these fake people would finally be brought to light somehow made it worth the risk. He just had to make sure he stayed in the dark. Thankfully, being a cyber security and tech guru made it easier to track people down, though by the looks of it it would take a lot of work and time.
He didn’t want to bring it up to Knox. Not when they’d just discussed keeping their little night a secret. She’d find out eventually. But maybe he could persuade her to keep it on the down low for certainty. He cleared his throat and put his phone in his pocket, walking over to Knox with a smile. “I think I owe you breakfast. You wanna eat here or someplace else?” He asked, making sure to keep his distance from the dog.

Asking her how she was this was the last things he expected she would say. It didn’t surprise him but he thought she would never bring it up again. After all he never gave her the proper answer so he did understand why she would be asking it. Looking down he stayed quiet for a second, just listening to the nature. He could never give her a good reason or an apology she would accept; no matter how many times he might say sorry. Getting up, he crossed his arms as he took a few steps towards he keeping his eyes down on the sand but as soon as he got close to her he looked up with a sad expression. “I never meant to hurt you, I hope you do believe me when I say that.” He slowly and reassuringly said, taking a deep breath. What was he supposed to say? Because she is the way she is? That wasn’t a reason, that should never be a reason but part of him wanted to believe in that. He wasn’t getting what he wanted and he couldn’t take it anymore. That was not the complete truth. He can’t get what he really wants so other things won’t satisfy him. “You just didn’t deserve getting that half love and I tried to show it to you in the most disrespectful way.” He carefully added, keeping his eyes on her the whole time. “You were good enough, I don’t want you to think for a second you’re not. We just good together at a really difficult time when I tried to make myself happy. And you did make me happy.” Putting on a weak smile he quietly sighed shifting his gaze to the lake. “I am sorry.”

I did sort of worry about what else may be exposed on the page now, not even just about me…but people who I am or was close with. Just because I may not be on good terms with certain people doesn’t mean I don’t feel for them still. I let out a small sigh and let my eyes look around as Aria talked. “I think so too…I mean some people might deserve the karma…” I looked back at her and forced a smile. “A drink sounds great right now.” I joked partly with her. I wasn’t good with things out of my control and this was causing me to have a little anxiety.

“I never meant to hurt you, I hope you do believe me when I say that.”
Already, her eyes pricked with tears but she swallowed them back, not wanting to give him the satisfaction.
It was the same thoughtless excuse a child gave when playing with glass. They never meant to break it. They just wanted to play with it.
She held back as he came closer. It took him a while to speak, and as he spoke, her arms closed tighter around her chest, fingers indenting into her skin.
She was right in the beginning. She was better not hearing any of this. Instead of telling her he didn’t love her…that he didn’t feel the same…he showed it to her by sleeping with another girl? Really? Was he that…was he that much of a monster that he couldn’t even talk to her like a human being with feelings? He had to give her pain instead so he could selfishly walk away, Scot free without speaking like adults? If he had just told her that they weren’t for each other, she would have been fine by now. But he chose the most absolute worst way to do it.
“You were good enough, I don’t want you to think for a second you’re not."
It should have made her feel better. But it only made her hurt more. It was coming from a guy she no longer trusted. A guy who spoke lies. Including that one.
And you did make me happy.
She regretted asking. She wholly and totally regretted asking. Because her insides hurt like that night. She wanted to rip them out. She wanted to hide. But the moment he said sorry, her first clenched and she scoffed, biting her bottom lip to stop it from trembling.
“I’m sorry too,” she muttered. “I’m sorry we both wasted our time on something this meaningless all because you couldn’t be responsible enough to tell me before you caused more hurt than it was worth. Didn’t mean to hurt me?” She choked, pushing him roughly on the chest. Her eyes were betraying her as tears streamed down, all her feelings from months and months of keeping it inside surfacing once again. “Didn’t mean to hurt me?” She pushed him again.
“Do you know why that excuse works for toddlers Leo? Because they don’t care about anyone else but themselves. That excuse may have worked for others, but to me it’s the lamest excuse in the world. It’s you wanting to be pardoned because your intentions were innocent, but your actions weren’t. The fact of the matter is you chose to play with my mind. You chose to sleep with that girl and tell me you were just at another party. You chose to hurt me. And that’s worse than never having the intention to hurt me in the first place.”
She didn’t even bother to feel emabrassed about sobbing. She didn’t care. She stepped forward, looking up at him, anger in her eyes. And hidden behind that anger…sadness.
“Well. I didn’t mean to bring such a thoughtless person into my life. I hate you,” she seethed, putting a fist onto his chest and she wept. She stared down instead of into his eyes, teeth clenched as her tears fell down. “I hate you.”

Letting her speak he didn’t want to interrupt her no matter how much he wanted to. Whatever he might say now will just make it worse; he does have the tendency to just lash out and say something without thinking about it. Her not believe his words did p!ss him of but he didn’t want to say anything just yet. It was hard not to especially with everything she was saying but he somehow control himself. “I didn’t.” He kept repeating, keeping his cool every time she would push him or say didn’t mean to hurt me?
“It was a drunken mistake.” He quietly said the moment she stepped closer, both tears and anger in her eyes. He is emotional, not something a lot of people could see but things did hurt him too and he reacted to them in the same way most people would. Biting the inner of his lips he looked down at her knowing what he said was the last thing he should’ve said at this point.
“Well. I didn’t mean to bring such a thoughtless person into my life. I hate you,” That was the thing that hurt him now because it was the truth. He should’ve never in first place try to be with someone for real. Try to get in a serious relationship everything everything. He was always scared the next girl he would be with would hide stuff from him, would hurt him in the same way he was already hurt. “I hate me too.” He quietly said putting on a weak smile, still looking at her as he tried his best not to show how much he was struggling to fight his tears back. And at that moment he pulled her in for a tight hug, not giving her a chance to protest. He knew she might not like it but it was the only thing he could do, it felt right to him.
“I just thought starting something with someone would make it hurt less but it didn’t. And it never will.” That was the only thing he managed to say without his voice breaking. There was so much he could say but couldn’t, didn’t want to. Letting her go he quickly turner around without looking at her and headed straight for the little boat. “It’s been more than 15 minutes.” Quietly saying it he rubbed his eyes so she couldn’t see it before getting in and sitting down as he put his elbows on his knees and buried his face in the palm of his hands.

I didn’t. It was a drunken mistake.
If she heard one more lame excuse, she thought she might explode.
“I hate me too.”
He pulled her into his chest, and she only pushed back once before her body trembled with sobs, her face digging into his shoulder.
And now he was bringing it back to him again. Because he had pain, because he had sadness in his life…he had to go and cause sadness for her. It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fair that she let that happen because she wanted to take away some of his sadness. Her fingers pressed into his skin,
“I just thought starting something with someone would make it hurt less but it didn’t. And it never will.”
Her body suddenly went still as her crying stopped, her brows furrowed as she thought about it. She wasn’t the only one he did this to. He pulled away from her and she quickly wiped away her eyes, watching as he walked over to the boat.
“It’s been more than 15 minutes.”
She knew the both of them were much too stubborn to ever bring up something like this again. Amongst themselves, and to anyone else.
As he buried his face in his hands, she stood there for a moment, taking it all in. He had issues to deal with. She had issues to deal with. And they couldn’t deal with it together. But…she felt somewhat less smothered now that she’d said everything. She felt like she could finally move on.
Adeline had decided to take the oars this time. The ride was quiet, and as they pulled up to the docks, she took the liberty of getting out first. Thankfully, Preston had already left. She let out a sigh and turned over to look at Leo. This was no doubt the last time they’d be talking to each other. So she decided to say whatever was left on her mind. “Leo…I really do hope you find someone who can help you, and I’m sorry it couldn’t be me. But, word of advice;” she gave a soft smile. “Don’t let her go when you do find her. Moping around really isn’t your strong suit.” She gave a mock salute before walking away, leaving her past behind on the docks of the Lime Grove lake.

Kendrick Dankworth
It was a bright, sunny afternoon. Sun rays were falling onto Kendrick’s face through the blinds, making him look a little shiny and glimmer. He rubbed his eyes and painfully opened his eyes. His bed was a mess though. In fact, his whole house was a mess. Ever since his last break up, he wouldn’t really go out and make new friends in his new neighborhood. His old friends would always come to his place and force him out. But ever since the lockdown, he had his privacy of staying alone and reminiscing all his memories. She did a number on him, honestly. He couldn’t accept the fact that his ex moved on within a month of the breakup. He was devastated and drank almost every day. However, something about today changed him. He wanted to go out for a run. It’s been forever since he actually went out anyways.
He took a steamy hot shower, thinking about what to do all of today. He likes to think of his plans for the day in the shower (don’t judge). After his hour-long shower, he threw on his sweatpants and a loose tank top, not even bothering to wipe the water off his body, he stepped outside his house and into the sun. It was a very good feeling for him. He looked up into the sky while closing his eyes to enjoy the day. A minute later, he pulled his phone out of his pant pocket to check for location. He never really bothered to explore his new neighborhood, so he’s pretty much new around here.

““Don’t be ashamed of blushing. It shows you care.”
Hestia pressed her lips into a fine line and turned her face away slightly her ears still as pink as ever. She ducked her head slightly, allowing some of her hair to fall over her shoulder to hide the steady blush creeping across her face. “Whatever,” she grumbled slightly. “I most certainly do not care.” She stood up from the counter as he walked upstairs, to the game room. She paused for a moment before following Aries up to the steps to the game room and sitting on the floor before picking up the nintendo remote (wii remote?) and rolled it over in her hands, an amused smile on her face. “You sure you want to play again? I’ll just crush you, again.” Hestia said ina sing-song voice, gloating on her string of victories before.

Orion looked at his phone, reading through the secrets that were exposed. A part of him was just relieved there was nothing about him. Though, Henry was right by him and there was one about him on there. It still didn’t say much though, which was better than for some of the others. “It could be worse. As bad as any of it is, it could be worse. I’m just not sure who would do this though.” Whoever was the person to create the exposing site would have everyone who had been exposed against them. And each person who had something revealed would be searching for the one who sent in the tip.
Calypso watched as the guy in front of her paid her little attention while he focused his attention entirely on the photograph he was taking. She couldn’t blame him for it, if the roles were reversed she would do the same. It gave her the rare chance to take a photo of someone else in the process of taking a photo. She had just snapped the picture, and still had her camera in hand as he turned to her. She let her camera rest, supported by the strap around her neck, and secured her hold of the dog leash. At that point she smiled wide and shook his outstretched hand. “It’s always a pleasure to meet someone with a fondness for photography. I’m Cl… Calypso.” She stopped as she began to introduce herself then quickly resumed with saying her name. Calypso. Keep it straight. “I think you’re the first person I’ve seen around here I’ve met that knows how to appreciate a nice photo, aside from just selfies.”

I laughed at her comment and pulled out my phone. I was going through the site and I saw a new post. It was getting ridiculous and managed to stop myself from crying again, she wasn’t going to let some crackhead ruin the rest of her day. She had just put her phone away when Noelle grabbed her attention. “It looks excellent on you and you can keep it when we get back,” she said with a nod before continuing, “I have one too many.”
Vega and Orion came running into the room and jumped unto Vivia’s body, both licking and trying to tip her over. “I haven’t seen you two all morning,” she said ruffling their fur. 'I’m going out so I’ll put your food out and then you guys just have to be on your best behaviour." These were the moments she loved, her dogs knew she wasn’t okay but were happy to see her and she was happy to see them. “Noelle let me just give them their food then we can head out,” she said already walking out the door with Vega and Orion in her arms. She took them to the kitchen and filled their treat bowl and then went on to fill their food and water bowl. “We can leave know,” she said to Noelle.
@CerealKiller - Sorry for the late reply.
“Calypso,” he repeated. “You have a lovely name.” This wasn’t how he expected his day to go, he’d just wanted to have a nice date with himself and nature but it would be nice to talk to someone who understood his line of work. “Yeah not many people appreciate or understand the beauty of a picture taken properly,” he said with a slight laugh. His gaze drifted back to her camera which was know hanging and swaying lightly with the direction of the breeze. “If you don’t mind me asking, what model is your camera?” he asked.
