Was Josh meeting another girl in the library to have fun between the stacks? Yes? Did he easily get distracted when he saw Bridgette Charming glaring over a stack of papers in front of her at a nearby empty table? Absolutely. He had seen the girl at the gym, she was hot as fuck and if he hadn’t been smart enough to know you don’t fucking talk to people at the gym when they had headphones in - he would have initiated a conversation a while ago. Still, it was better late than never. 

“I know, but none of those seats have pretty blondes who are a little mean.” Josh flashed a smile. He had respect for girls like her, alpha chicks who liked to keep a frosty demeanor. Ninety nine percent of the time it was a front for something, that or she just liked being dominating - which was definitely something Josh could roll with. So he figured there was no harm in engaging with her, see if she was worth all the attitude. “You usually this rude to guys you find attractive? It’s just a seat. Unless I just naturally distract you that much...” 

Someone needed to find whoever decided there should be an advice column in the school newspaper, and end them. It was probably someone like Olivia White, who thought she was a gift to the team, but Bridgette would disagree. She would also be the first to vote an end to the column all together, but then what would they give her to write? She’d been begging for a life and style section for the past three semesters and instead they shoved her a bunch of anonymously submitted confessions and said ‘this is about life… and sometimes style. It’s perfect.’ It wasn’t. Flipping through the numerous options for this week’s editions, because she could only choose five, the blonde didn’t even notice the person sit down next to her. The library was large, so why was someone choosing to sit at the same table as her, directly next to her? “You know there are plenty of other seats available.” She spoke, before even looking up. Of course when she did, she saw a VK sitting across from her and her brows furrowed. “Seriously. Find somewhere else.”

top three hottest guys and girls?

Girls: 

Bridgette, in like a face-tune kinda  way. Like, she looks like she gives unenthusiastic blowjobs but you would make other dudes jealous by locking her down. 

Clara, I’ll just refer you to the crazy/hot scale from How I Met Your Mother

Sydney, and she’s not boring so it’s like a win/win

Dudes: 

Me obviously, I don’t see dudes like that so Ranger and Manu ‘cause they’re significantly less annoying then the rest of the assholes around here.

Text Message ✉️ Clara

Clara: or maybe you're just wishing i wasn't fulfilled. or maybe you're just projecting because /you're/ not fulfilled.

Clara: no, it's the fact that as much as i wish i wasn't from the isle, i am. so you causing problems for me and every other isle kid threatens my life here. so i'm trying to put out those fires before they catch.

Clara: no, you're supposed to make friends and have feelings, don't be stupid. you're not, however, supposed to spike their drinks and make out with them while knowing it hurts another friend to do so. duh.

Clara: if i was really wasn't here for you, i would've already gone to fairy godmother by now. and i haven't. even though the isle is the last place in the world i ever want to be.

Josh: nah that's the difference between you and I. I'm not looking for fulfillment. Try again.

Josh: Why isn't anyone else from the isle in panic, then? Why are the only people panicing, apart from you, sorority chicks with nothing else going on in their live's

Josh: and smee

Josh: wow. a fucking KEG was spiked. I had no idea she drank from it until he'd tongue was down my throat. Then it stopped before it got crazy.

Josh: IT SHOULDNT HURT YOU YOU'RE HAPPILY WITH ANOTHER DUDE HOLY FUCK

Josh: do it. Tell her.

Josh: If I'm really the POS you think I am, it would be weird if you didn't.

Sydney: Thanks

[...]

Sydney: He's kind of a dick so. Apparently slept with someone I thought was a friend so that's...nice. Really fucking nice.

[...]

Sydney: Kinda wished we had just left him to deal on his own now so.

Josh: I could have told you that, salem

Josh: oh shit, didn't know he had it in him

Josh: who was it?

Josh: yeah well, you would have regretted it if something had happened. You're soft like that ;)

[joshgaston]

texts - sydney & josh

Sydney: yeah, guess it does. we may be 'Bad-Relationships-R-Us'

Sydney: I've gotten that advice before and I know I should take it. It's just very difficult.

Sydney: Still, thank you for going with me and I'm sorry he was such a pain and...so invasive.

Josh: Probably, maybe that's why we work so well

Josh: as friends & in bed

Josh: drunk people say and do stupid shit, it's whatever. He's an idiot

Josh: but you shouldn't have to deal with that shit alone either so don't worry about it

Text Message ✉️ Clara

Clara: i'm fulfilled. but that doesn't mean i want you to just treat me like our past didn't matter.

Clara: i didn't mean to stay away forever, i just thought we needed an adjustment period.

Clara: oh, we're friends now? you know what? it doesn't matter. like i said, riley won't say anything. she clearly has a soft spot for you and your accomplice, and she kind of deserved to know. i don't know why you're more worried about riley knowing than, i don't know, literally anyone else?

Josh: Yeah I don't buy it.

Josh: whether you like that part of yourself or not, you thrive in drama. Obviously this Stepford life you have going for you isn't scratching that itch

Josh: So you're pulling strings on shit that has nothing to do with you just so you can get a taste of your old life

Josh: then claiming you're just trying to help me out. Like Clara if you wanna little danger in your life there's way more fun ways of going about it.

Josh: (...)

Josh: cause Riley is one of the few people around that took a second to get to know me and, you know what? It felt good to have someone like that on my side for once.

Josh: is that what you wanted to hear?

Josh: That's the punch line isn't it? Josh made a fucking friend, tricked some girl into thinking he has feelings only to try to take advantage of her at a party cause that's just the kind of dude I am right?

Josh: whatever. Point of this is friends or not I would've fucking kept your shit to myself, no matter who it was. But obviously I'm am idiot for thinking you would do the same for me.

[joshgaston]

have you ever wished you were someone else?

Just someone else’s kid

[joshgaston]

how would you handle someone having a crush on you when you didn't like them back?

Don’t really need to ‘deal with it’, it happens all the time. I usually just keep them on the back burner for when I’m bored or, it’s 3am, insomnia kicks in and my regular line up is asleep.

Sydney: We broke up with each other. Things just weren't working out. Sterling and I would get very intense and when we were hurting, we would lash out until the other one was hurting too so that it could be some fucked up sort of even. I loved him and...at least he said he loved me, and the sex was great we just...didn't work.

Sydney: And we still do it, strike where it hurts the most just to get the upper hand.

Josh: lmao yeah that sounds familiar

Josh: then tell him to fuck off

Josh: or cut contact

Josh: he can't have the upper hand if he can't talk to you

Sydney: I'm really not one of those girls who is still hopelessly in love with her ex and is just waiting to get him back. I do love Sterling, of course, but I don't want to like date him again or anything.

Josh: idk

Josh: in my experience, sounds like something girls say to make themselves feel better

Josh: did you break up with him or did he break up with you?

[joshgaston]

texts - sydney & josh

SYDNEY: He is, yeah. but for some stupid reason he means a lot to me so I really needed to find him.

SYDNEY: Thank you.

Josh: yeah I can tell

Josh: lol
