Town Between Official Thread SAA/WNA

She was walking to the bus stop just enjoying the walk there. Recalling the past few months here as she walked. As her mind wondered, she recalled her short time with the tall handsome grim reaper from the Halloween party. Feeling a slight ache from within herself, she sighed disappointedly.

She recalled that they had made it to the rooftop and began making out and slowly exploring the other. She was so loving the feeling of the burning flame he gave her inside. And just when she was ready to take things even further, the door to the rooftop flung open and they were no longer alone. It was her cousin that had joined them on the rooftop. Albert.

Being back in the present, she groaned a little as she was nearing the bus station. Though her eyes widened when she saw a familiar person sitting on a bench. “What is that dumb b-tch doing here?”

She forced herself to smile friendly at her as she walked up and sat down next to her. Setting her luggage down beside her. “Hey. What are you doing here? Are you perhaps waiting on someone? I wonder who would leave you waiting.” She hadn’t realized that she was still mad at Albert for interupting her time back then and now was the perfect time to get back at him.

Her smile falture for a moment as she pretended to recall something. “If you are waiting on Albert, he said something about catching the next bus. Something about saying good-bye to his plaything.” She covered her mouth as if she wasn’t supposed to have said anything. “Oh, please ignore I said anything.” Smiling behind her hand. This was just way too good of a moment for revenge.

It had been a while since he had gone to the town between the two schools and since he had no real plans for the day, he decided to go check it out for the day. Since the day was so young he’d knew he’d find things to keep him busy. After a quick text to his grandmothers, he was off.

Skipping travel

The bus came to a stop and he, among the few others, got off. Looking up at the sky, feeling the slight breeze against his skin. He pulled his jacket closer to him as he walked around. With his phone in hand, he looked up the direction to the nearest coffee place. After a minute he began his walk over. Enjoying the view as he went.

He opened the door to the coffee shop and walked up to the rather bored looking front counter and ordered himself a cafe mocha, paid and sat down at a window table. Looking through his phone for places to go and things to do while he waited.

He was already spiraling before his shift even started—his shirt was still wrinkled, his apron twisted, and his heart hadn’t stopped racing since swim practice ended. The meds were supposed to help, but most days it felt like they just made his anxiety quieter, not gone. It was still there, still loud—just behind a door he had to keep pretending didn’t exist.

Now he was face-to-face with a guy from West Nottingham who looked effortlessly cool, like he actually enjoyed being seen. Mateo, on the other hand, always felt like he was too loud and too invisible at the same time.

He cleared his throat and held out the mocha.

“Uh, café mocha?” he said, his voice pitching slightly higher than intended. His fingers were shaking just a little, but he hoped the cup sleeve hid that.

When the guy looked up, Mateo gave a weak smile and added awkwardly, “Sorry, I’m… kinda still catching up with my own brain today. Long morning.”

He rubbed the back of his neck, hat tugged low like armor. He was already worrying if he was being weird. Did that sound weird? Too much? Should I just shut up now?

But instead of retreating, he tried to push through it. He always did.

“Anyway, I like your jacket,” he added, a little too quickly. “You’re way more prepared for the weather than I was. I’m wearing swim shorts under my jeans. Don’t ask.”

He forced a small chuckle, then glanced down. His fingers picked nervously at the edge of his sleeve as he noticed the crest on the guy’s jacket. “West Nottingham, right?”

He hesitated again, voice softer now. “I’m Mateo. I go to St. Andrew’s. This… probably counts as neutral territory, right?”

“Uh, café mocha?” Hearing his order, he couldn’t help but to look up towards the voice. The guy seemed nervous to him. Chris put on his charming smile as he got out of his seat and walked over. “Yeah that would be mine.”

“Sorry, I’m… kinda still catching up with my own brain today. Long morning.” The guy gave a awkwardly and weak smile as he spoke. Rubbing the back of neck.

Chris just nodded his head slightly as if he understood himself, and just smiled brightly at the poor guy. “It’s all good, man. We all have those days from time to time. I do wish it catches up or at least give you time to slow down.” He chuckled lightly as he carefully took his drink from the man.

“Anyway, I like your jacket… You’re way more prepared for the weather than I was. I’m wearing swim shorts under my jeans. Don’t ask.” The guy chuckled a little before glancing down. “West Nottingham, right?”

Chris was puzzled for a moment before he realized he had the “WNA” sown onto the sleeves of his jacket. “Yes, I do go to West Nottingham.” The guy seemed to be hesitating for a moment, his voice softer as he spoke. “I’m Mateo. I go to St. Andrew’s. This… probably counts as neutral territory, right?”

He smiled, “Mateo? That is a nice name. I’m Chris.” Taking a sip of his drink before placing the cup on the counter. “Did you make this?” He looked behind the man as if to see if another possibly did, though it didn’t matter to him. He just wanted a good excuse to continue talking with him. “It’s rather better than the ones my barista makes back at home. Tell me, what is your secret.” While talking, he had removed his jacket and folded over his arm before picking up his cup.

Mateo


Mateo blinked at the compliment. That is a nice name. No one had said it like that in a while. Not without a clipboard or roll call sheet in their hand.

“Thanks,” he said, a little quieter than before. “You too—I mean, your name. Not that—yeah. Chris is… cool.”

His cheeks flushed, and he quickly busied his hands wiping down the already-clean part of the counter, trying to look less like someone actively melting into the floor.

When Chris asked if he made the drink, Mateo glanced over his shoulder as if expecting someone else to claim credit—then shrugged. “Yeah, that was me. Probably too much syrup in it, honestly, I kinda overshot the pump count. But I’m glad it’s not terrible.”

He gave a shy, almost crooked smile, tugging his beanie down a little lower. Chris’s easy tone and casual warmth weren’t what Mateo was used to—especially not from anyone at West Nottingham.

He leaned an elbow lightly on the counter, glancing at Chris’s folded jacket and the way the guy held his cup like it actually mattered to him.

“My secret?” Mateo asked, lifting an eyebrow with a tiny grin. “Stress, undercaffeinated panic, and three hours of swim practice before sunrise. That’s the whole recipe.”

He laughed at his own joke before catching himself. “Kidding. Kinda.”

He looked at Chris again, a little longer this time, and added, “You’re not really what I expected from someone at West Notts. No offense. Just… I dunno. You seem nice.”

Then, more quickly, like he felt he needed to backpedal: “Not that people aren’t nice there. Just that, y’know. Most of the ones I’ve met usually only talk to me when someone’s about to shove me in the hallway.”

Mateo smiled again, smaller this time. “This is definitely already the least hostile school rivalry interaction I’ve had since September.”

About 2-3 weeks before Winter Break she talked to her parents about going home with Liv for her brother’s wedding and at first they were not sure about it but she convinced them and they said she had to come home the day after the wedding which Rylee agreed to. She told her brother that she was not going home and they said there goodbye’s as he was going home with Ayla. Her and Liv made it through security and took there seats and then Liv asked Rylee if she was excited to meet her family. “More like nervous I’m about to throw up feeling, but sure we can say i’m excited.” She laughs a little. “Do you think they will like me?”

She quickly sent her 2 idiots (Jax and Ash) a text:

Now my boys keep out of trouble, I don’t have access to you idiots bail money. I’ll miss you nuggets though. Have a good winter break!

Piper was sitting there looking at her phone. She was in her own world when someone sat beside her. Then when the person talked it broke Piper out of her thoughts of Ian and Albert and everything going on. “Hey. What are you doing here? Are you perhaps waiting on someone? I wonder who would leave you waiting.” Piper was about to speak but didn’t instead she raised her eyebrow at Freya. Then what she said next shook Piper to the core. “If you are waiting on Albert, he said something about catching the next bus. Something about saying good-bye to his plaything.” Piper looked over to her as Freya covered her mouth. Then said “Oh, please ignore I said anything.” Piper wondered what she meant. However, Piper knew they weren’t official, so she couldn’t be mad at Albert for having something with someone at his school, since she still had Ian herself. However, hearing it still stung. Did Albert even really want Piper to go home to Germany with him. Thoughts started racing through her mind. She couldn’t believe Freya would be this way. She sighed as she looked at her bag. She thought about leaving and not going with Albert. She sat there in shock. She wasn’t sure what to do. Maybe she should leave, but what if Freya was lying for some reason. She didn’t want to miss Albert. So, she decided to just sit there and wait. Even if he was going to catch the next bus. She would be here waiting for him. She loved him and didn’t want him to think she didn’t. Piper took a deep breath before speaking. “Look, if Albert had to say bye to someone that is fine. Him and I aren’t official. So, what he does is his business. All I know is that I love him, so I’m going to sit here and wait on him. When he shows up… I’ll be here.” She said with a huff.

He chuckled quietly to himself as Mateo stammered. Listening as Mateo spoke on. “Yeah, that was me. Probably too much syrup in it, honestly, I kinda overshot the pump count. But I’m glad it’s not terrible… My secret? Stress, undercaffeinated panic, and three hours of swim practice before sunrise. That’s the whole recipe.” Mateo laughed at his own joke. Chris just smiled, finding his laugh contagious, he soon found himself laughing with him. “Kidding. Kinda.”

Chris set his jacket on the counter. “I’m sure there is some truth in that. Haha… But swim practice in this season? Man, you gotta be built out of some kind of heater.” He took a sip of his coffee.

“You’re not really what I expected from someone at West Notts. No offense. Just… I dunno. You seem nice… Not that people aren’t nice there. Just that, y’know. Most of the ones I’ve met usually only talk to me when someone’s about to shove me in the hallway… This is definitely already the least hostile school rivalry interaction I’ve had since September.”

Chris raised an eyebrow at the last part. Feeling curious but not wanting to pry. He swallowed his curiosity down and just smiled. “Well… I can’t speak for everyone that attends West Nottingham, but as for myself… I like to believe in the golden rule.” He paused to take a drink out of his cup. “Treat others the way you want to be treated.”

His charming smile softened for a moment as his mind wondered away from the current moment. But as quickly as his mind wondered, it was back. “I must say though… You are fairly timid for a person who attends St. Andrews.” He chuckled faintly. “But then again, I haven’t really had that many encounter with others from your school.”

Mateo ducked his head a little, both flustered and amused. Fairly timid. Yeah… that checked out.

“I get that a lot,” he said, voice quiet but honest. “Most people expect St. Andrew’s kids to be… I don’t know. Confident. Sharp. Rich. Loud. I’m just… kinda trying not to mess anything up, honestly.”

He looked down at his hands on the counter, his thumb fiddling with the seam on his work apron. “The golden rule’s a good one, though. Pretty rare these days.”

Mateo’s gaze flicked back up to Chris, hesitating like he wasn’t sure if it was okay to ask. But the guy hadn’t laughed at him. Hadn’t brushed him off. That alone made something uncoil just a little in Mateo’s chest.

“I don’t really fit the school mold,” he added after a second. “I’m on scholarship—sports stuff mostly. Swim, lacrosse, field hockey. And I work here whenever I can. My family’s way back in Texas, so… it’s kind of just me here.”

He didn’t mean to overshare, and immediately regretted saying that much. His anxiety tightened again, that usual drop in his stomach. Why did you say all that? He didn’t ask. Now you sound needy. Weird.

So he tried to lighten it up, give himself room to breathe.

“But hey,” Mateo added with a lopsided smile, “if being timid means not starting hallway brawls, maybe I’m doing this rivalry thing right.”

He leaned on the counter again, not quite relaxed but not bolting for the break room either. Chris had this calm energy that didn’t feel fake. That helped. A lot.

“So, do you actually live around here? Or are you one of the West Notts boarding kids too?”

Piper



He was going to stop by to see Chase before he had left the school grounds, but when he had neared the open door, it had sounded as if he was with others. So he had decided to leave him be and left the school grounds. Catching a Taxi to get to the bus station where he would meet up with his cousin, Freya. Sending her a text that he was on the way. Though the driver seemed to be in no rush, which did annoy him.

Liv listened to Rylee. She nodded her head as Rylee said how she feels. Then Rylee asked if she thought the family would like her. “I think they will love you baby. You are amazing.” She smiled at Rylee. She really wished that Eve was coming with them too. She really missed Eve. Afterall Eve was her best friend. She wondering how Eve was doing. However, she was excited for her family to meet Rylee. She still wasn’t looking forward to seeing Jason or Jason. However, she didn’t have a problem with Jacob. Jacob was the youngest of the Taylor triplets. He was the innocent one from that night. Liv smiled as she saw Rylee shoot a text. She did the same. She decided to text Eve to check in on her.

Hey Eve, I just wanted to see how you were doing. I’m on the plane about to leave for New Zealand. I wish you were coming to the wedding with me and Rylee. Hope you are doing good. I mean if you want to come… I can get you a ticket on the later plane. Hope you’re doing well.

She hit send hoping she would get a response before the plane took off. She looked over to Rylee. “I love you.” Which was true. She did love Rylee, but Eve would always have a special place in her heart.

Piper was so annoyed with Freya. She couldn’t believe what Freya had just said to her. However, she kept her composure. How could she possible say that Albert was out of Piper’s league. Like Piper wasn’t good enough for Albert. What if all his family thought this. She took a deep breath, trying to push her anxiety down. Then Freya called her boring. Piper looked at her with a smile on her face. “You can think what you want. You don’t know what there is between us. What even makes you say I’m boring? You don’t even really know me.” She hoped Albert would be here soon.

@ChayChay05 - TJ/Leo, Arya/Liam, Zia mentioned by Corbin

@Kate - Hazel/Brooks Mentioned by Corbin


4 days before present day

Arya sat beside Liam on the couch and smiled. “I wanted to give you something…” Then she reached into her black leather bag and pulled out a small box wrapped in a purple velvety cloth. She opened the box and took out the item, and held it up for him. It was a small necklace with a dark purple pendant. “Purple represents royalty and… I think you’re a royal cool person. So yep. I hope it’s not too girly or anything.” Arya sat awkwardly, awaiting his reaction. She was never good at giving gifts or showing affection, but after a few months of dating she felt like her feelings were very strong.


present day

Corbin got dressed for the new day and started blasting some pop music on her stereo while dancing around. On Instagram she saw that her sister Magnolia was already going home for winter break to visit their family. She didn’t really feel like talking to Luke or Magnolia right now or being in their shadows. She was supposed to explore her own identity at West Nottingham and not get mixed up with her country bumpkin siblings. She thought about how she almost got into a fight with Fleur a week ago and decided to call her best friend Hazel.

“Did you see that instagram post one of the cheerleaders made where they called her a psycho man stealer? And they posted embarrassing pictures of her and said she was in love with Zia’s boyfriend.” Corbin started laughing. She couldn’t help but feel satisfied from this drama.


The night before present day

TJ couldn’t sleep. He tossed and turned until it was 11pm. Not to say that he didn’t try to but he also wasn’t trying to make an effort to be comfortable and put on his pajamas. He couldn’t pretend that the fight with Ash months ago didn’t happen anymore. Even though he tried to avoid Leo this whole time, it was breaking his heart. He couldn’t deny that there were some deep feelings there, and the fight with Ash made him emotional and angry because Ash actually got to date him. But then again, it was sort of his fault for avoiding Leo after they hooked up. He just didn’t want to other football players to know.

He called up Leo and waited for him to pick up, but when he didn’t, he decided to just send him a voice note in their messages.

^[1]

Leo I can’t sleep bruh! I can’t stop thinking about everything we did together and i even got in a fight with Ash two months ago bro but you don’t care do you! I cant stop thinking about you man and if i sound crazy, then so be it. (sniffs from tears) if you like me just answer me, please bro. I need you. (sniffs from tears and hangs up)

sends another voice note

^ I’ve just been tryna avoid you cause of the football players I admit that but you make it hard when you don’t care! I don’t wanna do do this anymore but you prolly don’t care about my feelings cause I always see you with all these girls at St Andrews! I don’t want to know what you do I just wanna tell you my feelings (cries and hangs up)

Hazel was getting ready for the day. She just showered and got dressed and she grabbed her phone to go to the kitchen to make some food. Her guardian went to the station today since she had to work. As she cracked some eggs and put a little milk in it and started to mix it together. As soon as she put it in the pan her pone rang and she looked at the caller ID and saw it was Corbin. As soon as Hazel said hello Corbin just started to talk and asked if she saw the Instagram post where they called Fluer a psycho man stealer and posted pictures. She chuckled hearing Corbin go on and about the whole situation “Yeah I saw the video Corbin. Plus I was actually right there in the circle when the dares and stuff happened and Fluer was there trying to flirt with him in front of Zia and everyone that was there. It was very tense but hilarious. Plus one of the guys had to go and try to flirt with the headmaster which was just funny. You really hate Fluer huh?” She asked and continued making her scrambled eggs and then started to make some toast and Bacon as well.


Rylee gave Liv a little smile back when she said they will love her and she is amazing. “I love you to angel and that’s good but I am not amazing. I am just Rylee, but I appreciate it my love. I hope you know if the guy that r’ed you is there and he tries anything when I am there I am going to claw his eyes out. I don’ut care at that moment if yor family hates me or they kick me out of the wedding or house but I will attack if he tries or lays a finer on you.”

He couldn’t help but to chuckle softly. This guy seemed to be honest in his words. Which he did find was amusing. “The golden rule’s a good one, though. Pretty rare these days.” He just nodded his head a little.

“I don’t really fit the school mold, I’m on scholarship- sports stuff mostly. Swim, lacrosse, field hockey. And I work here whenever I can/ My family’s way back in Texas, so… it’s kind of just me here.”

This guy was totally something else. But he didn’t mind, after all it didn’t seem like they would be competing against each other in their own sports. “That would explain the whole ‘wearing swim shorts under my jeans’ comment.” He laughed a little before turning his head to look behind him. He wanted to make sure he wasn’t holding up the line. Feeling relived that it was just him, he turned his attention back to the guy as he spoke some more. “But hey, if being timid means not starting hallway brawls, maybe I’m doing this rivalry thing right… So, do you actually live around here? Or are you one of the West Notts boarding kids too?”

“Nah, I’m a boarding kid myself. I’m from Telluride, Colorado. Nothing too exciting, really. I, myself, am on a scholarship- basketball. So, I guess we won’t ever be facing against each other in the near future.” He sighed a breath of relief with a faint small smile. Being unable to actually see himself to compete against this sweet marshmallow. He paused for a moment, realizing he just thought of this guy, Mateo, as a marshmallow. Though it did feel like the food item did fit him in a way, he just looked like a fluffy/soft cuddly person. He couldn’t help but chuckle a little at his own thoughts.

“If you do not mind me asking this, when do you get off? I wouldn’t mind hanging out if you aren’t so busy with anything.”

Corbin started chuckling again. She laid in bed putting the phone to her ear.
“Ya but even after that she got into a fight with Claire! It’s so embarrassing!”

Flashback


One week ago

Fleur was doing her usual stretches and warm ups before she and the other cheerleaders were to practice their routine. She never liked the idea of cheerleading and would always made fun of girls who did it, but something changed after her friend Alexander convinced her that she should at least try it out as a joke. Now there she was. Wearing this skanky skirt, but she kind of liked it.

That was when one of the popular girls at school, Blaire Westborough, rounded the corner. She had long wavy brown hair, was tall and had a perfect nose, one that Fleur wanted but didn’t want to admit. She always thought Claire’s hair looked a bit dry but no one noticed. They thought she was perfect, which was sort of true, but that thought made Fleur even more annoyed. She accused her of stealing something from her locker and that was when the fight happened.
“This isn’t the first time you’ve tried to steal something. Like Zia’s boyfriend. Huh?”
They both pulled each others hair until people had to pull them apart. Fleur was sure that someone must have set her up.

A few days later that same wench decided to post a picture of Fleur’s head on Zia’s head where she was posing with Brooks. The caption read. “This is the psycho man stealer who wants Zia’s life. Shes in love with Brooks and hide your items because she might steal them too!”


Corbin thought for a moment. “I don’t hate Fleur. She’s just annoying, Like one of those popular mean girls, ya know?” Corbin sat up against her pillow and looked out of the window, feeling dazed. Maybe she did hate Fleur more than she should. Besides they never really talked. They just never seemed to get along. “Are you coming with me to cheerleading practice?”

She rolled her eyes at Pipers little comment of “You don’t even really know me.” With a scoff, she followed up her comment. “I don’t need to know you to know you. Albert did enough talk about you for me to know how stuck up you are. What kind of person would give their pin pal a fake name only to tell him about their real name years later in person? Hmm?” She then looked over towards the buses coming and going. “Whatever… I guess it doesn’t matter your reasoning for doing so.” sighing disappointedly. “He has already made up his mind that you are his person.” Rolling her eye as she looked towards the road, watching a taxi pull up.


It had felt like hours when the taxi had finally pulled up to the station. He quickly got out of the taxi, followed by getting his bag out before closing the door and watching the taxi drive off. “Hat ja lang genug gedauert.”

He sighed as he swung his bag over his shoulder and turned around. Making his way towards the station. Walking into the station, he noticed Piper was sitting beside Freya. Just by the look on their faces, he could feel something was going on.

He put on his gentle smile as he walked over to them. “Hey. Sorry I’m late. The stupid driver took his sweet time with taking detours and back roads, I swear.” He crotched down a little to wrap his arms around Piper and pulled her into a hug. “Did I miss anything?” He asked as he pulled away and looked between the two.

“Nothing out of the normal buses coming and going along with boring people. Glad you could make it.” Freyas attention stayed on her phone as if she had something better to do there.

He watched her open the box and take out the item. She held it up for him to see. It was a small necklace with a dark purple pendant. Then she talked about how purple is for royalty.

Leo had been going through a lot. He had hardly seen or spoken to Killian. They had both been busy with classes and Leo with football practice. Leo was laying in his bed thinking about everything. Wondering what Killian thought of what happened. Leo was sure he was happy since Killian was so mad about Madi being pregnant in the first place. Killian was in the bed next to Leo as his phone started ringing.

Leo felt his phone ring. He looked at it and saw it was TJ. He didn’t fell like talking to TJ. One because he felt back when they kissed years ago that he was just still hiding from the fact they did share a kiss. After a little bit Leo’s phone went off again. It was a voice note. Leo listened to the voice note. Then another one came through. He listened to that one as well. Leo took a deep breath and sighed. He owed it to TJ to tell him the truth in person. He waited a little while before deciding to send a text to TJ.

Hey… Look… I think we should meet up and talk.

Piper rolled her eyes at Freya. She as a rude girl. Piper hated the thought that someone in Albert’s family disliked her. If his cousin disliked her so much… Then how would the rest of his family feel about her. What if they disliked her too. Her anxiety started to race. Piper looked up and saw Albert arrive. Just seeing him made her feel slightly better. However, she was still super nervous that Albert’s family won’t like her. She felt her phone go off as Albert got out the taxi. She looked at the message. Piper’s eyes went wide. They had hardly spent time together in the last two months. It was like she was Ian’s during the week and she was Albert’s on the weekends, and occasionally during the week if they had a show. She was sure he had been with someone else as well. She just didn’t have the proof. She knew this especially since he wasn’t having $3x with her as much as normal. She read the message again

Teddy Bear :teddy_bear:

Hey my beautiful Dov. I’m already missing you. I hope you are enjoying your break :heart_exclamation: Counting down to the days I get to have you in my arms again
:face_blowing_a_kiss:

She took a deep breath and responded before standing up and slowly walking towards Albert. She didn’t understand why Ian sent this. However, it did make her smile some.

I hope you are enjoying yours too Teddy Bear. Have fun at your cousin’s wedding. Can’t wait till we are both back on campus. :kissing_heart: :green_heart:

Piper couldn’t help but smile as Albert wrapped her in his strong arms to hug her. She melted into his arms. He pulled away from Piper and looked at them both. asking if he missed anything. Piper put on a smile. “No, you didn’t miss anything.” She said as the replayed the conversation in her head. Piper couldn’t tell Albert right here and now everything that Freya said and how Freya seemed to hate her. So she stood there smiling.
