Back to lizzy now

@novella

Not that we’re spiralling. Are you spiralling? We’re fine. Like the opposite of spiralling. So steady and unspiralled,”

Sureeee that sounds very steady and unspiraled

@astxrism

It was just… the way she kept repeating how fine everything was. They were fine, she didn’t need help, she had it under control. The more she insisted, the less convincing it sounded.

See, Rudy understood that right away.

@astxrism

ollowed by the words that made him physically blink: Have a good night, sir.

A beat.
Two.
Then…
Rudy laughed. Not a big, dramatic laugh, but a real one, deep in his chest, low and full and almost grateful because this night just kept getting better.

@astxrism

Okay, I would love to argue with you about the fact that you’re ‘totally fine’,“ he said, that same easy humor in his voice, ” but… did you just call me sir?“

You just can’t help but laugh at her calling him sir in that moment

@astxrism

”But… sir? Do I look like I pay my own truck insurance? Do- Okay, you know what, we’re gonna circle back to the ‘sir’ thing. Just not now, not here. But just know that I’ve clocked it. It’s on the record.“

Alrighty, more lizzy and Rudy it seems

@novella

exchanging way-too formal salutations.

Far too formal

@novella

It was best to leave it here, and maybe circle back in a year or so when he’d probably hopefully forgotten this.

Its definitely not being forgotten

@novella

Not me.., dude.”

Oh lizzy…

@novella

• “Grape soda… grape soda… gray soda? Graystone?”

She looked to Katie with excited anticipation, as something of acknowledgement crossed the drunken face. “Graystone Avenue? That’s where you live?” Katie gave a lazy nod, holding up four fingers to provide the final details: “4 Graystone Avenue!

Wow. She got really lucky there

@astxrism

Rudy blinked a few times, like he needed to physically recalibrate to keep up with the rapid fire string of words coming out of Lizzy’s mouth.

A lot of words, very quickly

@astxrism

Real formal types, those joggers. Biiig on manners.“

@astxrism

He didn’t know her well enough, not yet

Sigh how unfortunate

. ”Now you suddenly trust the streets at night after you were the one who warned me about midnight joggers? Absolutely not. It’s like a horror movie opening,“

Those midnight joggers are very concerning
What if they came across one that didn’t hold a preference for formalities?

[raviola]

I feel like I prefer shaved
I also like goatees aesthetically
But goatee men are all awful
So I stick to shaved

[raviola]

I agree

[astxrism]

@astxrism

@astxrism

She’d been working here long before Rudy started showing up regularl

calling the coffee at her job shxt, nice way to flirt

@Madilfill

She let out a laugh, surprised by it. Not big, but real. “That’s because it’s not coffee. It’s just the same pot, reincarnated every shift. Like it’s been boiled down to its darkest trauma.”

oop

@Madilfill

Why do you come here?” she asked. Her voice had softened, lost its edge. It wasn’t suspicious or defensive. Just curious.

for you mamacita

[Madilfill]

@Kristi

[astxrism]

@Kristi

The kitchen smelled like artificial vanilla

[astxrism]

@Madilfill

Sleepaway camp was something he’d only seen in movies cabins with creaky bunk beds, scratchy wool blankets, and signs that pointed toward things like “archery,” “craft shack,” and “mess hall.”

@Madilfill

His grandparents had dropped him off, waving from their car as he hoisted his duffel bag up the dirt path.

@Madilfill

“Look at them they’re already falling over and we haven’t even started.”

[astxrism]

@benitz786

@benitz786

“This’ll be fun,” she said, voice high and warm and dipped in artificial sweetener.

@benitz786

It’s exhausting and I’ve only been next to you for 2 minutes.”

aaaa stop

[astxrism]

@novella

But now it had finally come!!! Lizzy woke up to her outfit that she had planned for days and laid out the night before; her favourite pair of shorts, a shade of purple that matched her glasses frame

Em how could you hate this sweet girl

@novella

She had said goodbye to her mom the day before, because her parents never seemed to be in the house at the same time anymore.

:(((

@novella

Lizzy felt a distance from the other kids in her class. Walking back from the cafeteria, or in the lines for canoeing, she couldn’t help notice them drifting off and away from her, whispering in circles, laughing at jokes she wasn’t a part of

STOOOOP NO

@novella

Katie Newman
