St. Andrew’s Academy Official Thread

Shiloh

“Absolutely. Your proposal sounds like a sensible solution. I’m more than willing to help, and this way, we can navigate those narrow passages without too much difficulty. Let’s make this task a tad more manageable for both of us.” Shiloh was able to notice the elegant and sophisticated manor of that response despite being busy distributing the items of the box, which made her feel a sliver of jealousy towards not having such natural elegance as the girl in front of her. Having that quality would help Shiloh greatly in her modeling career, instead of having to fake poses, charm and elegance for the camera.
The girl subtly suggested she is as new to volleyball in this school as Shiloh was, but after admitting that she immediately gave Shiloh an exciting alternative in the very next sentence.
“I have my roommate and friend, Liv, who’s on the team. I can shoot her a quick message” Shiloh smiled and said “I would love to meet Liv, maybe I’ll get some useful information from her. Please do shoot her a message and say it’s from …” Shiloh just realized something. “I never introduced myself to you, have I? I’m Shiloh Astor, nice to meet you.” Shiloh said.
When she agreed to a coffee, Shiloh just smiled and said “Well in that case, let’s crack on.” as she picked up the box.

Mateo was glad that Camila agreed to go with him. He didnt want to go to town alone and still hadnt really made much for friends besides Robin who had gone to an appointment. “Ok perfect I have my wallet and Im ready to go see what the town has to offer. I have heard that there is a lot in town.”

Theo listened to Robins peak. “Yes you are pronouncing it correctly.” He said with a smile. Then he listened to the rest of what Robin was saying. Robin had some points in what he said. Then he asked Theo if he could print out the nutrients and ingredients of the food. Theo thought for a moment. “yeah, I can do that. No worries.”

@LunaticLeviTheSecond Robin



Lorenzo listened and smiled at Chloe. “Well that’s good they haven’t since then. I love you and yes i know your smart. You deserve the best in life.” He said with a smile. “So what do you want to do love?” He asked her to change the subject.

@Kate Chloe



Lila listened as Owen talked. She felt butterflies in her stomach. She felt chills all over her body. She felt the warmth going to her cheeks. She knew she was blushing. “Of course I want to share my firsts with you. You are sweet, caring and amazing Owen.” She said with a smile. Then as they started eating because the food came out. Owen continued talking. Lila listened carefully as he spoke. Owen said “I was wondering, would you like to be my girlfriend? I’d love to officially call you that and continue exploring all these firsts, together” This had Lila all sorts of shy and blushing bad. She had only wished that one day she would meet someone who was so understanding to her situation and didn’t look at her differently because of it. She finally found that in Owen. He had said that he had liked her for a while now too. This made Lila very happy. Owen’s words replayed in her head. *“Would you like to be my girlfriend?” She couldn’t seem to get words out. So she nodded her head for a moment. Then the words finally came out. “I would love to be your girlfriend Owen.” She leaned in and kissed his cheek. “Thank you for not wanting to rush into anything and taking things slow for me. I really appreciate that.” She said with a huge smile on her face. It meant the world to her that he didn’t wanna rush into things. She wanted to experience a more intimate relationship with him eventually. Not right now. She did hope he knew when she said that she meant liek down the road when the time was right for them both.

@Jass Owen



Braxton listened to Ezra as he started to decorate. “That’s good you have been okay. Sorry to hear y’all are back in foster care. I know that can’t be easy bro.” Braxton always felt bad for Ezra and his sister. Something not many people knew about Braxton is that he had a brain tumor. He had just started growing his hair back about 2 months ago in the spot they had to shave his head for the surgery. He was a survivor. “Yeah, Been out for about three months. I’ve been back dancing for only a month. So kind of need all the practice I can get.” He smiled and turned to Ezra. He sat on his bed. “Well maybe we can go to the town that’s close by and get some stuff to decorate the room with. I didn’t bring much either to be honest.” He said as he gestured to the three posters he had and the one picture of his family. Braxton needed to be honest with himself. He needed to one take things slow with dancing. He also had to try and be honest with himself about the secret he had been keeping in for years now. Nobody whatsoever knew his secret. Not even Ezra. Then again it dealt with Ezra so he was always too scared to tell Ezra. He had just turned 16 like 3 weeks ago. Everyone had actually forgot his birthday. Which didn’t surprise him. He had a lot of people support him in the hospital but since he had been home they didn’t really bother much. “So how is your sister doing anyway?” Braxton had felt a little dizzy here and there still so he tried to not over do it much. He just had a problem with the heights of the jumps right now and if he stands up to fast and stuff like that. Braxton was so happy that Ezra was his roommate. Maybe… Just maybe they could get closer than they have been. Maybe he could finally see if he really had feelings for Ezra or if it was just because he thought Ezra was attractive. Plus Ezra was always so sweet and caring towards Braxton so that made him like him. He had always thought Ezra was hot though. He never told anyone that. He also tried not to act like it either. “So what do you say about going into the town?” He asked with a smile as he got up.

@bpalmer Ezra



Camila smiled at Teo. “Thanks Teo. I’m excited to see the town actually. Maybe find my favorite shop.” She said as she grabbed her things and headed for the door. She couldn’t wait to explore things. Get to know more people and have so much fun.

Ezra finished putting the few things he had away and making his bed. “Honestly its more stable than being home and that says a lot. I mean Thea (his sister) and I are pretty used to being placed somewhere at a moments notice. I mean at least it has been with the same couple the last few times.” Ezra shrugged. He honestly had gotten used to it and he almost preferred it as bad as that sounded. Ezra had finished putting his things away and smiled at Braxton gently ruffling his hair. “Looking good compared to last time you video called me. Glad its coming in again. You look more like yourself again.” Ezra smiled at him he was really glad that Braxton was doing a lot better he had been so worried about him. “Happy late birthday. I would have messaged you but didnt have a phone it was disconnected just got it back a few days ago. Im glad that you are back to dancing man I dont know what I would do without you there. Im willing to practice with you whenever you want.” Ezra smiled and plopped down beside him gently elbowing him. “I would love to head to town with you. I have seventy-five dollars to my name right now so I cant spend more than that but Im sold.” Ezra grabbed his hand and smiled pulling him to his feet to leave for town. “Dont think just because your brain was broken im taking it easy on you.” Ezra wasnt fully joking but in a softer tone he added. “I mean if you need a break though or anything you tell me ok.” Ezra hadnt meant that just about dancing but he was hoping that Braxton didnt read too far into it. “Thea is pretty good she is trying to get used to not being home again but that is pretty constant anymore. I mean it seems like we are never back for long anymore before they are hauled off again and we are back in foster.” Ezra wouldnt usually talk about his parents and their extensive criminal record but it was Braxton and he already knew and had for a while at this point.

Teo was excited he honestly had heard a lot about town and he loved to explore. “Yeah I hear that there are a lot of cool shops so I am sure we will find something.” He smiled as they headed to town. “That and i need to pick my prescriptions up at some point before we head back.”

Killian was happy that they were just trying this out too but when he heard what Madi said about hearing his confession his eyes went wide. “Wait you heard when…when I told…told my brother.” He was absolutely shocked and still trying to process everything. He had thought he was alone thats why he had gone to his room to tell Kashel he had feelings for Leo. He was shocked to silence as he tried to put everything into place.

Brex honestly smiles wide while he listens to Jasper. “Well its my room so odds are pretty good I would be here Jasper.” he softly chuckled at his light hearted jab. “Always good things about you. Wouldnt dare slander my favorite person here. No offence Kayden you are certainly in that number two position though for my favorite people here.” Brex replied turning back to make sure Kayden was ok with Finn here. Brex had stepped out of the door towards Jasper and let Finn in he only turned back in to grab his shoes and pull them on as fast as he could to meet Jasper in the hall. “No we were just relaxing and getting to know each other light hearted stuff.” Brex wanted to find a way to make Jasper know that what they had was special he hadnt told Kayden nearly anything he had told Jasper and they were living together. Kayden was sweet but he just wasnt Jasper. Brex reached out towards Jasper and put his arm around his shoulder as he headed out into the hall a bit more with Jasper.

“Yeah lets go talk and you know Im always here for anything you have on your mind. So absolutely lets talk. Honestly I have some things I wouldnt mind talking about with you too.” Brex nodded as the started their little walk. “Is everything ok. You seemed off last night at the party and you kept deflecting. I mean if its too much you dont have to tell me just had me worried. I mean I was going to call you today but I didnt want to cross any bloody lines or anything.” Brex slightly nudged Jasper with his shoulder.

Once the trio left the room, Roux locked the door and followed behind. She spun the key around on one finger as she walked, trying to take her mind off Piper. She couldn’t think like that about her best friend. They saw each other often, nothing weird was going to happen. Everything was normal. So if she just glanced at Piper, she could prove it.

And yet she kept her eyes on the spinning key. It was almost hypnotic, the way it kept her attention. If only she could look away — but she was completely frozen.

Yoo, Koda, are you okay with your stuff being in our room?" she asked, turning her head up. She still couldn’t turn to Piper. “I mean, no big deal if it is, I could just carry it to your room when we get back. I’ve been meaning to test my strength.”

As neither of them were helpful in picking a location, Roux sighed dramatically. “I guess for now we have no choice but to get lost… Three poor little kids in this biiig world,” she laughed.

But as they kept walking, there were no usual skyscrapers in sight. The horizon seemed to stretch infinitely, with buildings barely 3 floors tall. It was so empty and serene, with minimal traffic to disturb the peace of this countryside. Roux stopped in her tracks, her jaw dropping. When she thought of the word “town”, she assumed a large and exciting city center, full of things to do. But what stood before her was a boring, ancient looking village that tried to imitate a city. The more they went on, the more she wondered where the town was supposed to be. But she should’ve known what to expect at such a remote place, compared to NYC at least.

“Is… Is this the town?” she gestured at the sight in disbelief. “This looks so… Boring! I feel like I’m back in my great grandma’s time. Like I’m fully expecting to enter a restaurant and see a damn horse behind the counter. And that’ll be the highlight of our day!”

Maybe if they kept walking, they would come across a port, take a boat and sail away to somewhere more interesting, she thought. Just not some modern farm.

The first thing Adrian noticed was Izzy’s excitement radiating from her smile. She was such a carefree person. From the few times they’d spoken, he just couldn’t understand her. She had paint all over her hands and clothes, the sight of that almost made him cringe. And the way she spoke was so strange to him as well. He almost felt a tinge of regret for greeting her. If only he’d ignored her. But he wasn’t like his sister, he couldn’t possibly turn down the chance to make connections with people, even if he couldn’t care less about them.

It should’ve been quick. As soon as he dealt with her, he could be free to brood alone like the sore loser he was.

“Painting? That sounds pretty cool.” He’d almost forgotten there were people who genuinely invested time in something so undervalued, so useless. “Did you finish it? I wanna see how you paint. I bet you’re pretty good, you sure seem to like it.” There were many things you could learn from a person’s art style. Even though it had been years since Adrian held the passion for art, there were small pieces of his interest that he couldn’t hide. And observing other people’s work was part of it. Maybe he’d finally have a clue for the confusing puzzle that was Isabella.

He kept up his strained smile, despite knowing he wasn’t doing his usual best. Adrian wasn’t the perfect, charismatic, popular, hot — you get the idea, the kind of guy he always was. He was flawed, and the whole world could finally see it. Being seen that way, he wanted to hide away in his room forever. And he thought he was faking it well, until Izzy took a step forward and gave him a sympathetic smile. Adrian scooted back, looking away. Just the thought of being met with pity made his jaw clench.

He let out a forced laugh. “Whaaat? Of course everything is okay!” He looked up at her, grinning. “Why are you asking? Something wrong with how I look today? I would hope not. You know, it took me hours to get ready,” he ran his fingers through his hair, winking. “You know I wasn’t born this handsome, as hard as it is to believe.” At that point he was grasping for a way to change the topic.

Once again, sunglasses at night



“Of course. I’ll send Liv a message right away, and I’m sure she’ll be delighted to help.” she gave Shiloh a smile, “I’ll mention you when I message her, Shiloh. It’s a pleasure to meet you officially, I’m Victoria Ainsworth-Montague.” She then quickly got her phone out to send Liv a message.

Hi Liv,

I hope you’re having a great day. I’m here with Shiloh Astor, another new face on the volleyball team. We were wondering if you could share any tips about the team, practices, or the coach to help us get settled?

Warm regards,
Victoria and Shiloh

Her attention then shifted back to Shiloh, As Shiloh suggested cracking on to coffee soon, Victoria nodded approvingly, “I appreciate the enthusiasm for coffee. Let’s get to work! I look forward to our coffee and the opportunity to get to know each other better. By the way, have you already found any nice spots for coffee around here?” She maintained her composed demeanor, while dropping a touch of her formality and making some small talk, she was ready to follow Shiloh as they continued with the task at hand.





Owen couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy as Lila agreed to be his girlfriend, and her shy and blushing demeanor only added to the sweetness of the moment. He smiled warmly, grateful for the connection they were building. “I’m really glad to hear that, Lila,” he said, his tone filled with sincerity.

When she kissed his cheek and thanked him for taking things slow, Owen gently placed his hand over hers, offering a reassuring squeeze. “Lila, you’re worth every moment of it. I’m just excited to be on this journey with you,” he expressed, appreciating the genuine connection they were forming. “Thank you for being you, for being so amazing, and for letting me be a part of your world. I’m looking forward to getting to know you even better and I’m excited about what the future holds for us, as boyfriend and girlfriend” he had to say it out loud to actually believe this moment had happened. He had a girlfriend, he wanted to scream internally, yet kept a more casual demeanour.

As Owen and Lila continued their meal, enjoying the flavors of Nigerian cuisine, a playful idea crossed Owen’s mind. He couldn’t resist the urge to share a lighthearted and affectionate moment with Lila. With a mischievous yet tender smile, Owen picked up a small piece of suya, a savory grilled meat skewer, from the shared plate. Looking at Lila, he teased, “How about a taste of this? It’s one of my favorites.”

Owen leaned in slightly, holding the suya close to Lila’s lips. His gaze met hers, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of connection and shared delight. “Open up,” he playfully encouraged, ready to feed her the bite. It was a small, spontaneous gesture, but in that moment, it added a touch of sweetness to their date, creating a memory filled with laughter and a shared experience of exploring new flavors together.

“Haha, fair point, mate. I guess I did just stroll to your room accidentally.” Jasper chuckled, genuinely pleased by Brex’s lighthearted manner. As Brex spoke about Jasper being his favorite person there, Jasper’s eyes lit up with warmth and gratitude. “Favorite person, huh? I’ll take that title with pride,” Jasper said with a grin, appreciating the banter. Yet, at the same time that comment made him a touch nervous.

“Fair enough! Getting to know each other sounds like a good plan. It’s a crucial step in the roommate journey, after all. Hope you’re both hitting it off.” Jasper hoped that all four of them would be able to get along well. He already felt so comfortable with these guys, but especially with Brex.

As they were now walking, and Brex asked if everything was okay, Jasper answered with a sense of vulnerability, “Yeah, mate, I appreciate your concern. Last night, I was just dealing with some stuff in my head. You know, that classic ‘figuring things out’ dance. It’s just… I’ve been feeling a bit all over the place lately.” especially around you was what went through his mind, but he couldn’t get himself to speak those words, Jasper glanced at Brex with a sincere yet slightly uncertain expression. As they walked, Jasper’s mind was a swirling mess of uncertainty. Is there any chance in the world this guy actually likes me? I mean, sure, it seems we’ve got a good thing going, but what if I’m misreading it? And do I even deserve a guy who’s as amazing as Brex seems? It’s like he’s from a whole different league, and I’m just here stumbling through this mess of feelings. What if I mess it up or hurt him somehow? It felt like an impossible puzzle, a tangled web of self-doubt. It was a storm of emotions, a blend of excitement and fear, desire and hesitation. The vulnerability of it all weighed heavy on Jasper’s shoulders, making each step of their walk feel like a delicate dance on the edge of the unknown

Filling in the silence, Jasper spoke again, “I reckon I’ve still got some sorting out to do, but I’m glad we can chat about it. What about you, Brex? What’s on your mind?” This way, Jasper acknowledged some of his own internal struggle while inviting Brex to share his thoughts as well.

I’m about to be at the front entrance. So I’ll see u in a moment.

Evelyn stared at that text, trying to read between the lines. She knew there was probably nothing too it, but she couldn’t force her eyes anywhere else. “Hey Eve.” It was Liv. It was Liv, and Evelyn hadn’t noticed her walk up. More importantly, it was Liv. And she was smiling. “Hey,” Evelyn responded, her voice cautious but tinged with a hint of curiosity. She didn’t want to make this awkward, so she kept talking.

Evelyn took a deep breath, the cool breeze soothing her nerves. “Okay, Liv,” she began, her voice steady. “I want to hear your side of the story. I want to understand why you did what you did, even though it hurt me so… much.” Evelyn stated, more than asked.

Finally the girls got done and came out and Roux was locking the door. As Roux was locking the door and her back was facing towards Koda, he couldn’t help himself and looked at her ass for a few seconds. Before Roux turned back around he stopped looking and just waited. He thought that she looked good in red and black so what she as wearing was perfect. Then the trio started to walk out of the dorms and before they did Roux asked if he was okay with leaving his stuff in the room or not.

“Yeah Roux I am fine with leaving my stuff in your room, hence why I left it and helped Pipes bring in her stuff I figured I would go to my room later” he smiles at her. They all kept walking and eventually make it to a cute little town but it was no NYC, he was kind of hoping it would be a big town/city but instead it was a small cute little town. Roux then made some comments on how boring it looks and about being in her great grandma’s time. “Yeah its no NYC but it’s kind of a cute little town but definitely a little quiet. But with us here we will cause trouble knowing us and would not be surprised if cops showed up because someone said we were too loud.”

As Kayden was looking at the door he saw Finn and Jasper wanted to talk to Brex and also said that he was hoping that he did not interrupt anything. Kayden just smiled and nodded at them. “No you guys didn’t interrupt us at all.” Kayden smiled at Jasper and Finn.

Jasper then asked to speak to Brex and they both left which left Finn and I alone. “Hey come on in Blondie. Ooo I just came up with another nickname for you, it’s Finnster.” He chuckles a little bit at the little nickname he just thought of.

Madi heard Killion and she could tell that he was shocked that she overheard that. [color=yellow] "Yeeeeah, I heard you. Like I said I was in the bathroom and I heard you come into the room and you were on the phone. I didn’t want to be rude while you were on the phone. But hey I kept your secret so in a way it’s not a bad thing that I heard, but it did confirm that you guys should have figured out your feelings for watch other and figured one day you would both admit, and besides the issue Leo and I had, I knew you guys really belonged together and would end up together so it was another why I broke up with Leo.

Madi then turned to Leo since he asked how long ago this was. She was not sure if she should answer or not since it would tell him how long Killian liked him. “It was 10 months ago I overheard that convo. Also, I forgot to mention nice shirt you got on.”


Chloe smiled at him when he said that he loved her and that she is smart and deserved the best in life. “Aww baby your so sweet you know that? I also think they haven’t done that since they knew they were going to send me away but it’s fine sometimes space helps a relationship.” Chloe then leans over and kisses her man and after a few minutes she pulls away. “In regards to your question love, lets go play some basketball I am sure there are courts around here somewhere and you know how sometimes there are loose balls around on the ground.”

Braxton smiled as Ezra told him happy birthday. He also listened as Ezra talked about how it was better for him and Thea. “yeah. I get that. Thanks for the late birthday wishes.” Braxton smiled at Ezra as he put his shoes on. “Let’s go.” He smiled as he got up and headed for the door.

Camila smiles as they start walking. “yay. I’m super excited. Got it you have to get your meds.” She said as they walked and she thought about life. She used to hve a hard time with Mateo going from her sister to her brother but now it’s like he hs always been a brother.

Leo listened as they both talked. His face probably showed his shock. Leo was a little confused. “Wait. Killian you’ve liked me for that long? And Madi what do you mean you knew? How did you know something I didn’t even know?” He was so confused but not in a bad way.

@bpalmer Killian, Mateo, and Ezra

She smiled as they walked and talked. She couldn’t believe that Koda didn’t even notice her. She kept a smile on her face though. “I’m super excited for this little town.” She said as she looked around. She had always live in the big city and rarely went to small towns. So this was all new to her. Yes she was a city girl, but she was a country small town girl at heart.

Liv took a deep breath as Evelyn told her to she was ready to hear her side. Her phone went off. “One second. I need to respond to this message. Then I’m all yours.” She said as she looked and saw it was Victoria her roommate.

Victoria

Well tryouts aren’t until Thursday and Friday. Practice starts next week. The team is pretty cool. As for Coach he is cool. I’ll go into more details with you later. At a meeting.

Liv hit send and turned back to Eve. “okay so let me explain to you. I didn’t tell everyone Evelyn. I told Sally. Sally was suppose to be a close friend of mine. She then told everyone however I got the blame for her telling everyone. I understand why since I’m the only one you told. However I told one person in confidence. Thinking I could trust her, asking her for her advice… I didn’t think she would spread your business like that.” The part Liv didn’t want to tell Evelyn was that she had a crush on her last year. So she went to Sally. She wanted to know if she should tell Evelyn she had a crush on her since she said she was a lesbian. However she never got the chance since everything blew up in her face.

@Tina.G Evelyn

Lila smiled and blushed as they talked. She was so happy to be in this moment. She now had a boyfriend. “Thanks. I’m so happy to be on this journey with you as well.” Then Owen told her to open up as he tried to feed her some food. So she opened. He slowly put the skewer in her mouth and she took the meat off of it. She closed her mouth and chewed the food taking in every flavor.

As night came and Lav Coltrane finished his usual duties, he walked to his desk to see if he has anything else to do. In his notebook it said he had an egagement he has to prepare for. At the end of the page with today’s date it said.

Self - defense with Professor S.R.

He was a bit tired from the day, but he wasn’t about to go back on his word. Before it was time for him to go out there and teach her self defence he wanted to refresh his memory on self defense. He didn’t want a big gap from when he last learned something on this subject to be the reason why she doesn’t get a useful lesson. That’s why before going out there, he watched a few short videos and read a bit upon it instead of relaxing on his break.
When it was getting close to the time he was to meet her, he walked into the gym, which was now empty and almost completely dark except for the light he just turned on, and he prepared some of the things they might get to use. One of those items was a punching dummy, which he started punching as he waited for her arrival.

Madi just smiled at Leo, it was kinda cute that he doesn’t see how they both look at each other. “Like I said Leo the way that you look at each other, you can tell you like each other and I am not going to stop you from trying it out or whatever y’all are going to do.”

Kayden sat on his bed and looked at Finn. “It was good i just woke up not long ago cutie. Brex and I were just eating breakfast and talking and getting to know each other. Yes I had fun love did you?”

Chloe gets up as well from the bench and she holds Lorenzo’s hand and they walked to the basketball courts. She always had fun and that was a place they would go back home when they were together. Sometimes it was a a stress reliever for them. "Yes baby I am ready. I haven’t gone to the courts in so long. After we broke up I never went back to the courts.

Brex was ecstatic to see Jasper and he blushed a little when he let it slip that Jasper was his favorite person. Honestly Brex had come to the realization that in the very least he had a crush on Jasper. He didnt want to ruin this friendship they had started but he couldnt keep that information to himself either. Saying it outloud in front of Kayden and Finn though seemed wrong.

“Yeah how are you doing with your roommate? I mean if he is friends with Kayden im going to guess he is pretty sweet.” Brex didnt want to assume or if their had been problems discount Jasper’s experiences he had just realized that Finn was probably a pretty nice guy. If they were all getting along it would be nice to have Finn around to hang out with too.

Brex listened to Jasper be open with him yet again. He could understand feeling a bit all over especially his emotions. “I get that man and absolutely I will always be concerned about you if you give me a reason to be. I get it though I honestly was kind of in the same place. Had some stuff rattling around in my brain that I didnt really know how to say of know if it was the proper time to say.” He admitted with a little shrug. He so badly wanted to tell Jasper he had feelings for him but was now the right time. Brex took a deep breath and decided he would try and casually bring it up but when he looked at Jasper he looked like he was a panicking mess. “Jasper?” He asked softly before reaching out to him. Brex gently touched his cheek trying to get Jasper to focus on him and not whatever he was so in his own head about. Brex had always been one for the risking it life and he had stepped away from it a lot but he needed this off his chest. If Jasper wouldnt have looked so panicked he would have said it right then and there but it was fortunate that Jasper calmed down a little and asked Brex what was on his mind.

Brex bit his lip as he tried to make the thoughts swirling in his head into a coherent thought that wasn’t just word vomit about liking Jasper. “Well what is on my mind that I need to sort out I think you could actually help me with a lot.” Brex took another deep breath and had to look away from Jasper for a second to get this part out. “I was asking you on a date last night when I said we should get coffee or something but I realized I might not have made it sound like that. I mean if you arent interested its all good Im more than happy with friends but I admittedly have feelings for you. Ive never had feelings for someone this fast but with you everything is eary everything feels right and I just want to be happy and you have made me happy in the short time Ive known you.” Brex sighed still avoiding eye contact with Jasper as he beat himself out for the word vomit that just kept tumbling from his mouth and making him look like an absolute fool.

Ezra was glad to have Braxton around he was used to Ezra’s high energy and sometimes nearly mean sassy personality. He was so glad that Braxton had been ok after his tumor and that he seemed to be recovering really well. “No problem I mean you know you are important to me and that if I would have had a phone I would have called to bug you on your birthday.” He smiled softly at Braxton. Other upside to foster care is usually more space. I mean the trailer is fine but most foster parents live in a house so its got more space to just exist." Ezra was trying to make his frequent foster stays sound as good as he could to Braxton he didnt want him to worry about it. Ezra kept a hold on his hand and smiled as the headed out of their room and to town. “You been through town yet? I mean I saw a little when I got off the train but not much.”

“Yeah I mean Im excited to explore though. I have heard there are a bunch of cool little stores in town so I really want to see what those have to offer. Maybe we can find others there too which would be fun.” Teo smiled at her and nodded as they headed out and he tried not to take off running like an excited little kid even if every part of him wanted to.

Jasper responded with a light-hearted and playful tone to Brex asking about his roommate, “Oh, Finn? Yeah, he’s a ripper bloke. We’re getting along just fine. Seems like he and Kayden hit it off well, too.” He gave Brex a small smirk, hinting at the fact that maybe Finn and Kayden seemed to have a vibe that went beyond friendship. “So far, no roommate horror stories to share, which is always a good sign.”

Then the conversation had gone on, and they were on their walk. Jasper had been quite zoned out by his insecurities, and not really heard what Brex had said until he reached out and said his name. Jasper, feeling Brex’s gentle touch on his cheek, initially was a bit startled, but then he appreciated the grounding gesture. He met Brex’s eyes and offered a small, grateful smile, acknowledging the comfort in Brex’s touch. “Brex, mate, I… wow.” Jasper’s eyes widened in surprise as Brex talked about his feelings, and a smile gradually spread across his face as he processed Brex’s revelation. It was not that it fully came unexpectedly, Jasper had felt there was something between them. But it was still quite something to hear Brex being so straightforward about his feelings. It brought him a sense of clarity, and helped him figure some of his own thoughts out.

“First of all, thanks for being open with me.” Jasper could appreciate how brave Brex had been by being so honest with him “I appreciate it. And you know what? I’d love to go on that date with you. No confusion about it. I’ve been figuring things out in my head too, and you just made it a bit clearer.” He took a deep breath, and encouraged by Brex’s honestly, he let out some of his feelings, “I have feelings for you and you make me happy too. Let’s give this a shot, yeah?” Jasper’s tone was warm and genuine, back to his usual self, and happy that Brex took the leap. He was excited about the potential for their connection.

His hand wandered to Brex’s arm without thinking about it, at this gentle touch and while looking Brex in the eyes, Jasper couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed by his feelings for Brex, but this time in a positive way. In that moment, he wanted to scream out what he was feeling for him. Grinning, Jasper teased, “If someone told me I’d be planning a date second day back from summer break, I’d have thought they were joking. But here we are, making plans and being all ‘relationshippy.’ sharing our feelings and stuff”

Shiloh

Even her name sounds elegant. Like one of those names that come with a motto, a family crest and a reputation to uphold. Well, Shiloh knew all the well about the reputation and how stifling it feels to keep to one that you don’t like, but the other things could be anybody’s guess.
She kept silent as Victoria typed away, the only noise coming form the taps on her phone, but soon enough her phone was away and her attention was back with Shiloh.
When Victoria matched her excitement, Shiloh was happy to find out her enthusiasm didn’t come off as too eager and weird. Elated, she kept on moving towards her dorm, but suddenly she stopped and turned around and made an observation. “You know, there might be an elevator. I don’t believe this school is cruel enough to not have an elevator on a residential building for students where each year a ton of stuff has to be carried up and down … Considerin I’ve seen a wheelchair in the audience yesterday at the assembly, there should be one, but I’m new to this school so I have no idea if there is one. Are you also new to the school or just new to the sport?”

@Jass - I forgot it was on me! Sorry!


Izzy responded with a combination of playfulness and concern, recognizing Adrian’s attempt to deflect the conversation. “Oh, Adrian, you’re always ready to charm the world, aren’t you?” Izzy played along with his banter, offering a light-hearted response to his comment about his appearance. “I mean, it took you hours to get ready, and here I am, effortlessly rocking the ‘just spent the day painting’ look. Clearly, I’m the real style icon here!” Her tone would carry a teasing quality, showing that she’s engaging in the playful exchange.

However, her empathetic nature wouldn’t let the moment pass entirely. Her expressive eyes softened, conveying a deeper sense of care and understanding. The playful energy from before transformed into a more genuine concern, and her gaze lingered on Adrian with a mixture of empathy and warmth. “But seriously, if there’s ever anything on your mind, you know I’m here, right? Because, you know, we’re friends, and friends care about each other.” She playfully twirled a strand of her hair around her finger, adding a touch of lightness to the moment. Her smile would transitioned into a warm, comforting one, and she maintained eye contact with Adrian. “We all have those days where things aren’t as okay as we’d like them to be.” Her words were accompanied by a gentle smile, conveying reassurance and a shared understanding of the ups and downs of life.

She then realised that she never went into the painting, she thought maybe it was a nice distraction in this moment, a way for her to leave it up to him whether he wanted to talk about what was going on, “And hey, I’d love to hear your thoughts on my painting. I haven’t quite finished the latest one, but I’d love to show you what I’ve got so far and get your opinion on it.” Her words carried a sense of pride in her artistic process, happy to be sharing it with Adrian.

She continued, “It’s a mix of the American landscapes surrounding us, with a twist of Mexican style art. I love blending different my different cultures and heritages, you know?” Izzy kept a friendly and open demeanor as she was explaining.

With a proud yet humble smile, she presented the artwork to Adrian, holding it up for him to see. It depicted a landscape of trees, a building scattered here and there, and some water, but mostly the spotlight was on the foreground with its vibrant wildflowers. While those colourful flowers were far from native to Delaware, Izzy had succeeded quite well at making the whole painting cohesive.

Izzy then spoke again in a soft voice, “See, the foreground with these wildflowers is the main focus, but I’m still playing around with the background. The trees and buildings need a bit more definition, maybe some details to tie everything together. And the water? I’ve been thinking of adding a subtle reflection, you know, to give it that extra touch of magic. It’s not quite there yet, but I love leaving room for the painting to evolve a bit more.” This way, she acknowledged the specific elements that are still in progress, creating a sense of ongoing creativity and inviting Adrian into her artistic process.

“Ah, you might be onto something there,” Victoria responded with a nod and a smile, her memory recalling a detail. “Come to think of it, I believe there is an elevator nearby. If memory serves me right, I spotted it over there,” she gestured in the direction she vaguely remembered. “Shall we explore that option? It would certainly make our task a bit more straightforward. And to answer your question, I’m new to the school, though not entirely new to the sport, I’ve played before in London.”

At that moment she got a message, “Pardon me, it feels rather impolite to check my phone in the midst of our conversation, but I do believe Liv may have responded.” She took a second to read the message herself first, and then she summarised Liv’s text to Shiloh, “It seems we have a bit more information now. Tryouts are scheduled for Thursday and Friday, and practice begins next week. Liv also mentioned the team and Coach in positive terms, which is reassuring.” She gave Shiloh a faint smile, before continuing to talk as they were walking over to where the elevator was, “It’s promising news, isn’t it? How do you feel about the upcoming tryouts and joining the team?”
