Darcy smiled as she walked in and heard the familiar voice of the waitress she’d seen many times before. “Hey! Gosh, you can’t even walk from the car to the door without like a middle-age women going through menopause.”  She cringed at her own comparison but continued to the counter.

“Can’t sit down today. It’s been a crazy day at work so I’m just bringing it all back for a quick bite.” She smiled, and looked down at her scrubs. It was a habit, most people assumed she was a nurse when she was in uniform. 

              “   you’re telling me  --   ”    ruby says as she steps around the counter,  greeting the familiar redhead as she gestures for her to sit anywhere.  it’s not like it was crazy busy right now.    “   but i lucked out,  hayden gave me door to door service.  so that’s about 30 seconds of me not drowning in my own sweat.   ”    

                     “   sit down wherever you like  !  hard day  ?  looks like you could use a smoothie,  really.   ”

                 ‘ should i consider asking what i’ve missed as of recently ? small towns tend to remain remarkably quiet. ’ the words trailing from andrew gifted in a lighthearted tone although the words held a truth ( at least according to andrew ! ) proof amply present, as long as the puzzling case of zachary mccarthey was ignored. regardless, for the past two months he had sought reclusion in his hometown in the west coast. only now had he returned. ‘ i am a lot more curious of how you’ve been anyways. ’

             “   jesus  !   ”    she flinches in surprise,  blue eyes flashing up from her phone as she lounges in one of the many empty booths when he comes in.  automatically does she recognize him  --  her old english teacher.  she’d always been decent at school,  never did bomb any of his test  --  but it was still  . . .  ODD,  three years after graduation.     “   mister radomski  !  what a surprise  !  just   . . .   you know,  working,  sleeping,  eating.  the usual young adult stuff.   ”

Belle always felt a bit odd going out to eat by herself, but with her a/c broken and a growling stomach the diner sounded like the best place to be. She walked in and nodded politely to the comment about the summer heat. Her agreement was evident by the fact that her bangs stuck slightly to her forehead with sweat. Quickly finding the closest booth to the door, Belle slung down her violin case. “ I’m doing alright and yourself ?” she questioned in her slight New York accent.

         “   tired,  a little bit bored  --  just the usual diner stuff,   ”   ruby says as she pulls her hair up into a loose ponytail.  that heat is  FINALLY  getting out to here.    “   sure is hot out there,  hmm  ?  ”   eyes flicker to her bags,  the case in particular.    “   do you play  ?   ”

                            at the gesture,  the brunette moved a few feet over from the booth to the bar stool. light hues rolled teasingly before olivia retorted, ‘ when in crescent is it ever this warm ? it’s amazing. it just seems like a PERFECT beach day. ’ perhaps she’ll check later to see if any of their friends are free to tag along. ‘ definitely strawberry, thanks ! you still haven’t finished that show yet ? i’m shocked. ’

                the smile stays upon her pink lips,  and she’ll shake her head as she goes for the yogurt.    “   no,  no,  no  !  it’s way too hot for the beach,  too.  when it’s this hot  ?  the beach is just filled with people sweat anyways.   ”   she’ll skip this one  --  will probably visit nate and nap or something.    “   you got it,  cousin.  i’m taking it slow and steady  !  i wanna remember this show this time.   ”

                         ‘ if the roles were reversed, you’d be doing the same ! ’ hayden playfully responded as he wiped down part of the bar counter. ( still it doesn’t stop a smug smirk from forming on his lips. ) ‘ i guess         it depends on the food. ’ in truth, her offer doesn’t faze him as meals were essentially free to all the employees. his f r i e n d needing a ride though, well he’s not an asshole. 

                a gasp  !  ruby acts dramatically,  placing a hand on her chest.    “   i would never  !  i’m sent from the heavens,  trained to only do good things.    ”   blue eyes roll,  a smile playing at her lips as she obviously jokes.    “   i’ll order the ruby special.  which means the chef picks out whatever’s the freshest.  it helps being cute,  hmm  ?    ”    she sobers for a moment,  the smile on her lips now soft.    “   --  so,  you’ll give your favorite ruby a ride  ?   ”

      her smile is contagious ;; petra finds herself smiling at the other as well at her bright and cheery tone. an awkward chuckle tumbles from her lips right after, as she glances around. “ um, actually, i was in here earlier. i think i left my phone here … did you happen to see it?? “

             ruby’s bright smile never leaves  !  and she lets out a chuckle for  . . .  oh,  she’s done that more times than she likes to admit.     “   how much earlier  ?  i can text whoever was on shift and ask about it,  if you like.  we don’t exactly have a lost and found that’s  . . .  not filled with dirty clothes.   ”

              “    you can’t just look like you’re about to invade a small country with your tortured soul and not expect me to comment on it,  nate  ---    ”   she says,  putting down her phone on her side table and digging the heel of her foot into his thigh to get his attention.     “   what’s got you more dark,  mysterious,  and broody than usual  ?   ”     //  @twinburdened​.

“Uh–I guess you could say that. Or it’s just a really good day to eat a full order of french fries by yourself. Whatever floats your boat,” Emma comments, heeding the waitress’ instructions and plopping herself down at a booth. She picks up one of the menus and scans it, though she’s already fairly well-versed in what the diner has to offer. “Been a slow day?” she asked, gesturing to the game lighting up on the girl’s phone.

                 “   hey,  as long as i’m not suffering and cooking in the summer heat,  i’m fine with anything.  but who can deny themselves food while avoiding heat  ?   ”    ruby laughs awkwardly,  trying to make small talk with her boyfriend’s sister to the best of her ability.    “   i,  personally,  am on i diet of burgers and milkshakes at the moment.  screw following the idea of a  ‘ summer body ’   yanno  ?   ”    a real laugh this time,  she turning the screen so the other can see it.    “  more than slow;  i was tempted to watch something,  but got worried about not being able to hide my phone if a manager came in,  so.  that’s that.  ”

                            the door swung shut behind her, the jingle once again echoing. ‘ what are you talking about ? it’s BEAUTIFUL today ! ’ olivia counters, striding over to an empty booth ( not far from where her cousin previously sat. ) ‘ slow day ? i don’t want to keep you away from your instagram. ’ voice laced with a teasing tinge as she merely guessed what ruby was preoccupied by. 

                   “    has anyone told you that you’re positively  INSANE SOMETIMES,  olivia  ?   ”   ruby asks,  already moving towards the back to grab a milkshake glass for the other brunette.     “   my sweat is sweating,  and there’s air conditioning here  !   ”   she shakes her head,  motioning for her to sit down at the counter.    “   shut up,  please.  chocolate or strawberry today  ?  and just so you know,  i was definitely binging brooklyn 99 just now.   ”

               all throughout his shift, hayden’s eyes drifted back and forth from the linoleum clock. ( wednesday nights at the pub were always painfully slow ! ) but at the realization that soon he can clock out, relief becomes apparent as he tells to a familiar face, ‘ i get off in half an hour. ’ a friendly smile tugs at the corner of his lips before gensen adds, ’ feel free to stick around ‘til then. ’ 

                 “   bragging is  R-U-D-E  rude,  hayden,   ”    ruby groans against the table,  her head in the crook of her folded arms,  hair spread out across her shoulders.    “   i still have another hour.  this is it,  this is how i go.   ”   the brunette looks up,  giving her  BEST  pet shop eyes she can manage.    “   stay with me,  i’ll get you a free meal,  and you give me a ride  ?   ”    and cue the most charming smile she can muster.

            “   sure is a nice day to ditch that pesky  SUMMER TEMPS,  huh  ?   ”    she comments at the jingle of the door bells,  baby blues flickering up from her screen of  crazy colors and jewels.   cue a bright smile from ruby dale herself  !  a pastel straw is caught between her lips before she gets up.    “   hiya  !  how are you today  ?  you can sit down anywhere.   ”

alright!  i’m penny & here to tell u about my lil’ smol,  RUBY DALE !  

she’s 21,  5′2,  and has lived in town for all of her life.

she’s ur average girl next door type,  the ultimate sweetheart,  and really only has the best intentions in mind.

she grew up with a single father,  who she’s loved all of her life,  which is one of the reasons she decided to stay in town and take community classes rather than go out for college.  he’s  sick  right now,  so she also wants to stay to take care of him and make sure he doesn’t get stressed.

ruby was in zachary’s  INNER CLIQUE  --  her cousin olivia  (  natalia dyer  )  were both within it,  and they were all the types of  do everything together  bit.  

she was also in the car with  HAYDEN  (  ross butler fc  ) AND ZACH  when it crashed,  and there’s major guilt from that time.  

she’s a waitress at the local diner,  working the same times as  HAYDEN  --  in which he’s at the bar and she’s doing tables.  they used to be childhood friends,  fell apart,  but came back together as friends her junior year of high school.  more often than not,  you can find her at the diner either working,  or doing homework late at night.

also,  she’s  THE BEST OF FRIENDS  with cather   (  lili reinhart fc  )  since birth,  and is  currently in a  #thing  romance-styles with nate   (  cole sprouse fc  ).  

if anyone would like to plot,  pls hit the like and i’ll slide into ur ims  !
