As a child, did they trust both of their parents?

"It's not that I trusted my dad more, I guess, but it's always been easier to know what his intentions are so I never second-guess things with him. My mother, however, always has an ulterior motive or means something different than what she says so it's always hard to know what I'm getting myself into."

[presleyfarrow]

"I personally wouldn't go messing around down there surgically if I didn't have to -- but that's just me."

Sometimes Presley could understand her mother's methods but sometimes they in turn made her sad -- the fact that the woman was so deeply invested in not letting herself age in any real way seemed so fruitless, and yet so much time and money was poured into it anyway.

Everyone died someday -- weren't you lucky if you had a few wrinkles when you did?

Presley is grateful to change the subject from the state of her mothers vagina; immediately latching onto the potential for a new topic.

"Silas? Is that your boyfriend?"

@jordanmitchell

"That sounds like torture." While Jordan had wanted to smooth out some lines or fix her texture, weight wasn't something she ever fixated on much. She liked to eat and she didn't restrict herself or else she felt that there was no other reason to be alive if she couldn't have the cheese and bread she wanted. "The whole food thing I mean. I'd rather die than not be able to eat something I want because of some gross thing making everything taste horrible."

Evidently, Presley seemed disgusted by the question and it was clear what the answer was. Jordan was slightly disappointed but it wasn't anything she couldn't google or reddit.

"I think it would. It wouldn't be popular if you didn't have a better sex life. Imagine if they only did it for their partner. It's not like you can even see it to enjoy it yourself." She shook her head. "That couldn't be me. I'm trying to figure out a way to convince Silas to wax me down there, that's how much I hate having to landscape it with the risk of a knick. I couldn't do a whole surgery without any benefit for myself."

"Thank you for going to the trouble of making decaf," Presley says with appreciation -- she'd never been able to handle her caffeine well.

She takes a tentative sip to judge the temperature, pinky in the air as she did so.

"We were talking about my dad's upcoming birthday party," she laughs softly.

"And how ridiculous my mom is for this whole six-month planning process. I'm pretty sure this 80th birthday party is costing more than most people's weddings."

Sana hands the coffee to her company sitting on the other side of the table, hoping the warm drink was enough to pay back for having company on a dreary afternoon.

"Here we go." She loved having company, hearing the tales of other peoples lives helped her brain from straying away from not so pleasant thoughts of life. It was easy when you lived alone. "Now, what were we talking about before I got up to make coffee?"

[presleyfarrow]

"I think we deserve bottomless mimosas," Presley answers decisively with a nod of her head.

"I'm more of a pilates girl anyway -- a 5k in this heat is just asking for misery and I don't look cute when I'm sweaty."

@thelucexcaldwell

"The real question is, sign up for this 5k? Or, fuck it and and reserve a spot for brunch?" Luce asked aloud, sipping on a frozen cocktail that had been rainbow but now everything was mixed together into a murky color. "Like, do we go with health or the bottomless mimosas?"

[presleyfarrow]

"I just don't want me being hot to hold too much weight, if that makes sense," Presley observes with a slight frown, as if the concept hadn't weighed on her too heavily until that moment.

She couldn't feign being humble about her looks -- she knew she was, objectively, traditionally pretty. There was a whole walk-in closet of tiaras and sashes at her parents' house to prove it.

And what if that was the only thing that was special about her? And what would she do now that it was all over?

"I'd be more willing to give him a chance if it felt like he meant it," she answers with an uncertain frown pulling at her lips.

"But I just don't want to be his current fixation if I'm just going to lose his attention again."

@thebellamyxcalvert

Bellamy's smile turned more genuine then, and despite all the bullshit in her life, she nodded and even reached over to give Presley's hand a quick little squeeze. "I'm not going anywhere. So just...prepare to hear more bitching than ever from me? I'll vent instead of run." She promised.

"Babe, you being hot should always hold weight." Her smile grew as she said it too but she was mostly teasing since she of course knew there was more to her friend than just a pretty face--and she hoped others knew it too. Especially when the mere mention of Reggie had Bellamy rolling her eyes.

"Okay, but...is charm enough to negate everything else? Think about everything with him....would you want to actually give him a chance?"

[presleyfarrow]

G. What's their greatest talent?

"My greatest talent is, ironically, the swimsuit portion."

[presleyfarrow]

Doll 🌸:If you could change something about your life what would it be and why?

"I get curious from time to time of what it would have been like to be born into a normal family. Like, if my dad had been a farmer or something and my mom would have been a teacher. Not that my mother should be a teacher -- absolutely not -- but as a concept. I wonder how different I would be and what I would want to do with my life."

[presleyfarrow]

Some of the haughtiness of Presley's posture falters when Reggie confirms that he'd come to the event alone.

Not only alone, but she hadn't eyed him milling around to flirt with other girls either.

Whatever new leaf he was turning over, he was seeming to take it seriously. But she'd been stupid enough to fall for acts like that before.

But she really wanted to fall for it again.

Presley arches a brow when he drops the Kennedy name, letting out a scoff under her breath.

"Do you think I'm that shallow?"

@reggiellewellyn

Right on cue, there was that Farrow brand politeness battling it's way to the surface. If it was possible Betsy to be proud -- and by now he's not so sure that it was, he's only seen prideful -- he thinks she might have mustered up a trace amount of it for that.

"Nope. Nothing of the sort. Not even unlikeable friend I wouldn't mind lipsing after enough sea themed cocktails."

Of the pair of them, it was no secret that Reggie was the easy one. He liked new faces and cheap thrills and he also liked them significantly less than her pretty face expensive tastes.

The potential risk of having to spend the night alone was a loss worth gambling on when the potential prize was any amount of time with Presley.

"And yourself? Have you got a Kennedy or one of those kinds of blokes around here somewhere to break my heart with?"

@presleyfarrow

[presleyfarrow]

"If we're being honest between the two of ourselves, I think she actually wanted people to see," Presley sighs as she glances over at her mother's antics, a line forming in her brow as they furrow with embarrassment.

"What's the point of paying one of the best plastic surgeons in the world for a boob job if you don't want people looking at them, right?"

@gcldrushed

eleanor quickly turned her head away even though she has already seen the wardrobe malfunction. " would it be better if i pretended that i didn't see that? " she offered quietly, though she wasn't sure that would be reassuring at all. she glanced briefly in the older woman's direction, then quickly looked away, not wanting to add to presley’s discomfort. " you did try to tell her, " eleanor said gently, offering a small, understanding smile. " sometimes mothers don’t want to hear it... " hers definitely wouldn't, but she hasn't seen her parents anywhere near the high school so it would probably be safe to say that they didn't attend. // @presleyfarrow

[presleyfarrow]

"It seems like the experience is a little inauthentic without prom queen and king. But the poltics around it are crazy enough as teenager, I can't imagine the lengths people would go to to campaign as adults."

Presley laughs with a gracious tilt of her head.

"I was prom queen, actually. Even though I said I didn't want to be," she says sheepishly.

"I felt bad because I wore pretty gowns and tiaras all the time but other girls don't get to except for that one night -- no one listened and voted for me anyway."

It was a pretty across the board issue for her life -- expecting to stand and look pretty and rarely being heard.

"I wouldn't vote for myself," she says with a shake of her head.

"You can have my vote. If voting is a thing. I'd rather someone win who hasn't had it before."

@cherryxkoch

"I actually don't know," Cherry answers, the thought not having occurred to her until the blonde spoke it into existence. A quick glance around the room finds no evidence of a ballot box. "God, I hope they aren't or else I'm going to be royally pissed," her eyebrows raise. "My vote is valid."

She has no idea who she'd vote for and it was definitely harder with all these people didn't know or just couldn't name. It was easier when it was a single class in high school.

Giving Presley a once-over, she nods. "You definitely look like a prom queen. I could totally see you up there," Cherry compliments with complete honesty. Something about her just screamed gown and tiara. "But like.. wouldn't everyone just vote for themselves? Or is that a totally conceited thing to say?"

[presleyfarrow]

"Hello," Presley answers compulsively -- like there's no possible way to restrain herself from returning a nicety when it is given to her.

His answer to her question brings a draw of skeptical eyebrows; she looks over both of his shoulders and then both of hers like she's expecting some leggy blonde supermodel to appear and take her place on his arm and call him baby.

None comes.

"You're serious? You didn't bring a date? Not even a likable fuck-buddy?"

The fact that he didn't have a sure thing lined up for the end of the night was surprising to her.

@reggiellewellyn

"Hello to you too," Reggie says after swallowing a mouthful of punch, doing his best to remain nonchalant at the fact that seeming to be nonchalant had actually worked.

( He knew Eddie's gibberish wouldn't work on Presley Farrow. )

"I'm here with me, myself and I."

Having to confess that would have made him cringe internally on any other night, like he was failing at something he didn't know was a test to find himself alone in a room where it seemed like everyone else was there with someone or someones.

"I figured I'd take my chances and hope you'd come talk to me then spend all night talking to someone I like less."

@presleyfarrow

[presleyfarrow]

Best childhood moment?

"Pretty much any time my older sisters included me in whatever they were doing. I think they felt that my mother really favored me, when really she was just fixated on me, so they tended to pick on me a lot because I was the baby of the family at the time. But any time they wanted to play with me in the pool or watch a movie with me, I was in heaven."

[presleyfarrow]

"I wish I didn't see that because that is absolutely my mother," Presley replies with a wavering breath as she turned away from Betsy Farrow's drunken wardrobe malfunction, trying to keep her posture from crumbling in embarrassment as she took a drink from her punch.

"I told her that dress was too low cut."

location: prom at aurora bay high school ( choose your own adventure )

eleanor wasn't exactly sure if it was a good idea to go to the prom since she just got back in town last month and she's still trying to settle back in aurora bay. but it seemed like such a nostalgic event that she couldn't quite pass up. always the people watcher, her eyes widened a little at the sight before her. " did you see that or was that just me? " eleanor voiced with disbelief as she turned to the person next to her, raising her brow towards them. // @aurorabaystarter

"Do you think they're crowning a prom king and queen at this thing?" Presley asked curiously, running a hand through her hair so it laid nicely over her shoulder before she paused a beat.

"Not that I'm fishing for it. But who would you vote for?"

[presleyfarrow]

starter for: @reggiellewellyn location: under the sea prom

It was against her better judgment that Presley approached Reggie -- already thrown from their typical dynamic by the fact that he wasn't actively flirting with another girl in her direct line of vision.

"Who did you bring?" she questions, with all the subtlety of a character from Law and Order in an interrogation room.

"I have a right to know so I know who to avoid."
