having been invited by a relative at the last minute, mags was surprised to see a familiar face. she smiles widely, "well, hello hot lifeguard number two. i've been good! i just gotta put on some sunscreen because i forgot to do it earlier and prolonged exposure to the sun could cause anomalies in an otherwise healthy body." she paused. "how did you end up working here?"

Denis is at a country club, working as a lifeguard for the summer. He spots someone from Gallagher, and immediately rushes over. “Hiiii! I’m undercover as ‘hot lifeguard #2’.” Whispering the last bit. “How’ve you been?”

          she blinks, “i was gonna say .. i love you but i think i’d remember something like that.” mags replied, a light giggle following right after. she makes no move to mention carmichael and instead offers her arm. “i may not be your date, but we can still go dance if that will lift your spirits?”

       (  @gallagherstart​  )        “  oh  —  you  were  the  person  that  i  slept  wit  —  I  MEAN   ,  wait  ,  totally  ,  like  ,  not   ,  “  gigi  to  giggles   as  she  looks  down  at  her  snacks  in  front  of  her  ,  pushing  them  together  as  to  construe  information  .  “  totally  wish  you  were  .  this  gala  is  a  total  bust  ,  and  i’m  like  ,  110%  sure  you  as  my  date  would’ve  made  it  like  ,  a  gazillion  times  better  . “

         “i don’t know, but i honestly need it too.” she laughs before leans against the nearest furniture. “i had somebody tell me before that they just hide their shoes behind some of these curtains and then take them out when the party’s over.” that person was ella, and a method that mags respected.

     “you think there is a shoe check in or something?” raina says, nose wrinkling as she shifts from foot to foot. “because my feet are killing me, i’m really close to just going back to my dorm to get flats.”

            “oh, i am definitely bragging about this to my cousin. i mean, gallagher is pretty wealthy. i think we can pull off the whole having beyonce come to our end-of-the-year party.” mags notes, already sneaking pictures whenever she can because when else in her entire life would she be able to see beyonce live?! “just say beyonce came to our school. big names come to schools all the time anyway.”

      “Do you think I can tell my real world friends that Beyonce came to my end of year party? Because what if they ask where? Or look it up? I don’t want people thinking I’m a liar.” The words rush out as if they’ve just occurred to her, right as she finishes another cocktail. // @magsrome​

            “it’s funny because i feel exactly the same way.” and it may be the drink she was nursing herself, but it was one of those times that mags became acutely aware that gallagher was filled with exceptionally attractive people. it was a benefit she enjoyed when she wasn’t hyperfocusing on her career. she leaned in closer to aileen. “you know, some of our peers would find these events to, you know, hook up with someone. do you envision yourself doing the same tonight?”

“everyone looks so good,” aileen confessed, looking around at their classmates, her words solely for mags. she looked at the other with a smile, shaking her head with a laugh. “i mean, i don’t know whether i want to date them all or be them all.” bringing her drink up to her lips, she took a sip of her wine and sighed. // @magsrome​

“Good, because it’s not cute.” As if that was the end all be all. And Ria felt responsible for helping Mags channel her bad bitch self that was somewhere in there. “Do you really? A lot of med students stay behind.” Doing whatever they did when people get hurt. “You could do field if you don’t worry too much. That’s our goal, get you to stop worrying.”

          “well, yeah, but .. it would be exciting to experience at least one mission.” and if it was close to whining, then mags will let it slide. she smiles sheepishly. “okay, okay, that’s a good point. and a good goal. i’m gonna put that in my journal!”

valeriasfm​:

           has  to  lean  forward  ,   eyes  sparking  with  interest  as  she  does  so  ;   it’s  the  PERFECT  distraction  and  as  per  the  usual  course  ,   makes  val  adore  mags  more  than  she  already  does  .    ‘  did  you  get  them  at  the  same  time ?  ’   she  asks  curiously  ,   blue  eyes  almost  demanding  more  photos  because !  it  doesn’t  get  better  than  this  .    ‘  seriously  mags  ,   can  i  invite  myself  to  your  farm  this  summer ?  i  desperately  need  to  see  these  lil’  cuties  in  person  .  ’   and  the  farther  away  from  gallagher ?  the  better  .  

          “ah, nope! we’ve only had cris for a few months so he’s still getting used to our place.” all the updates from home made her homesick and she was grateful to spend her summer there, even if an internship might mean the world for the future of her career. her eyes shone with excitement. “val, this right here is my formal open invitation for you to visit the farm anytime this summer. i will be more than happy to show you around and maybe get our hands dirty or something.” after a beat, she added. “my grandma’s also leaving the country for the summer so it’ll be my aunt, my cousin, and me. and my aunt is definitely okay with me bringing friends along.”

tingzhao​:

ting finally opens her eyes, standing up to start packing up her yoga mat, figuring it’s probably a little weird to just sit on the ground while mags looks around the gardens. unless she wants to sit too. “sorry about that. how are you?”

         she shook her head, “oh no, don’t worry about that! i’m used to the gardens and walking around. i hope i wasn’t being too disruptive. i am aware that meditation requires silence.” mags smiles, hoping that it would disarm the other enough.

peachesfm​:

         ‘  thank  you  for  the  worry  -  ’    and  she  grabs  mag’s  face  and  plops  a  peck  on  the  other’s  nose  ,    loving  her  friend  as  much  as  she  deserves !   ‘  but  you  don’t  have  to  .   i’m  practically  invincible !  death  and  pain  has  nothing  on  me  ,   i’ve  already  done  that  .  ’  

           at her friend’s affection, mags smiles though it fades a little as gigi went on. “please, let’s not tempt fate. unless you want me to rattle off statistics about ‘falling from a height’, which you know i have right here in my brain.”

saoirsesfm​:

Saoirse pulled her clothing tighter over her body. “I usually hang out on the benches near the main building. Maybe we should start there?” The blonde femme suggested. “I feel like that will be a good place to start.”

            she nods. “absolutely!” and clicks her pen close. “i should have the skills to help, but if we fail, then i’ll walk you to the lost and found. they’re nice!”

riaflicke​:

“It is really, Mags, I wouldn’t have said that otherwise. You’re drawing attention to the situation.” Besides, how could she keep her mental list of mortal enemies if they ran away first? “Since when have I cared about statistics? Do you think I’d let myself get injured? This face is not worth that. Yours isn’t either, so start telling yourself that.”

       she pursed her lips before she sighed. “okay, okay, i’ll stop being obnoxious.” if only to keep her friend comfortable. at ria’s words, mags let herself smile. “it’s an uphill battle, give me some slack. plus, i wanna get my hands dirty. i wanna do missions too in the future!”

alisnmoon​:

He smiled warmly. “Thank you and it’s alright if you do mess up, I won’t hold it against you.” It made him happy they were trying in the first place and how respectful Mags was being about it. Cheeks redden at Mags’ teasing because oh man how true that was. “As much as I want to believe that you’re kidding about the latter, there has been someone who’s been hitting on me despite what I did.” The conversation switch was welcomed, as the two went back to how they were months before. Just two friends who could easily talk and joke about various subjects. “She told me while I was locked up with the others that she wanted to have sex! It was so embarrassing.” But God did it bring a smile to his face.

             “nonsense. i thrive off of honest feedback. i force professors to tell me everything wrong about my essays so i’d appreciate the same from you.” mags’ eyes widen at his words, a hand coming up to her mouth to stifle her laughter. “oh my god, talk about a groupie. you’re like a rockstar.” though the comparison was clearer in her head; she’s watched the true crime documentaries in her free time. “i mean, what did you say?”
