POSTING SNAPS TO... No Civilians Allowed 🤬😜❌

Emmett’s private chat that’s dedicated to him doing dumb shit. What usually goes here is him getting blacked out drunk with friends, a few training videos, or just overall things that he wouldn’t want his family to see. For this round, he posted snaps of him with the other fourth years/graduates. Each day has been spent hanging out with each other, taking lots of pictures, and trying to convince them to make a TikTok with him (depending on the person, it may or may not have worked out). Either way, these are the snaps that Emmett cherish the most and will always look back on.

Harper Mariah Kent’s Summer Adventure - Locked Up with the Grandparents Edition - @gallaghertasks

ft. @gldensvns && @vgdemy

When Harper thought about leaving Gallagher and going back home, she was expecting to sit in her childhood home in Washington. Jasper already made it known that she wasn’t leaving the house, not at all liking how he could’ve lost his only child. Going from one lockdown to another, cool, it was whatever. At least then she would be able to chill and hang out with her dad and uncle. Until their most recent phone call and Jasper said that she would spend the summer with her grandparents in Chicago. Chicago is fun, lots to do and shouldn’t be bad. It was just her grandparents that was the problem. Two very black old souls who definitely wouldn’t let her leave (she was their only grandchild after all), force her to clean everyday, AND make her go to church. You may be thinking, ‘oh, that’s not bad!’ but you’re unaware of the activities that happen at a black church and a life with a black family.

Get up at seven in the morning to get ready for church, help your grandma make food for everyone afterwards, get there at ten in the morning and then get out of service at three in the afternoon. But you don’t go home until almost seven in the evening because your grandparents just have to talk to everyone and you gotta go eat at the pastors house. You’re not allowed to use your phone until after church and even then you’ll have adults peering at you, asking questions about who you’re texting and comments about how people in your generation are always on their phones. Then you have bible study and church on Wednesday at seven in the evening; it just doesn’t end.

And while Harper isn’t a fan of church, it’s not all too bad. Because she’s surrounded by her grandparents, two people who love and adore her. There were just times when the two could be too much, ya’ know? Like yelling at her if she doesn’t clean up, chirping her for being unable to quote something from the bible, or asking if she’s still with Michael (”You should try to get back together with him. He was such a sweet young man and the two of you would’ve had some beautiful babies.” Harper almost threw up her meatloaf at what her grandmother said to her.).

There was the plus side of it all aka having her phone back and talking to her friends. The groupchat was back to being constantly blown up because it was just nice being able to text each other. A daily FaceTime session between Harper and Grace (”Michael texted me that he missed me... I told him to go choke on dirt.”), texting her new Gallagher friends (”Grayson, please just learn this TikTok dance… I don’t care if you’ll look dumb, it’s the Savage dance challenge and you need to do it.”), and even an unexpected text from a certain someone.

I’m in Chicago, want to meet up?

She blinked a few times, not at all expecting for Rafael to text her. The two had exchanged numbers and would sometimes text each other but that was it. So to get this message caught her off guard but hey, someone she knew in Chicago? Of course she was going to take up the offer to meet up.

It took some time to convince her grandparents to let her go but they finally cracked (how could you say no to your favorite grandchild?). It was awkward, her and Rafael hanging out together. Their conversations before always had to do with Grace, you can’t always talk about her (harper vc: you wanna bet?). It was difficult at first, the two trying to find something, anything to say. It was finally when Harper looked at Rafael, phone in hand and the TikTok app open. “Wanna learn a TikTok dance with me?”

It was after the duo trying to learn a few dances and failing that began their friendship and broke away the awkwardness. Pictures were taken, video calls to Grace (”I can’t believe the two of you are hanging out without me! This is rude!”), and just being young. It was during this time that the two realized that if things were different, if they were all normal, that they would’ve been good friends who worked together to protect Grace. That dynamic duo that you wouldn’t want to fuck around with. 

But alas, the universe wasn’t too nice to any of them, the previous semester proved that. All they could do was enjoy the present and appreciate what was before them. 

Rafael’s visit didn’t last long, only a few days as he went to hang out with Scott (”Tell my light skin half that I said hi, alright.”). After that, Harper was alone in Chicago with her family. A family that loved and missed her. A family that checked up on her whenever it was possible. So, while it sucked that she couldn’t visit her friends, at least she had her family right beside her. 

Extra facts:

Jasper found Harper a therapist after she asked for him to get her one. Meeting with the Gallagher therapist actually helped her a lot and from those sessions, she found herself wanting to continue going through with the sessions elsewhere.

Daily FaceTime session with her wife where they talk about any and everything. 

Find her still messaging her Gallagher friends because after talking and apologizing to them, she realizes how much she cares about them. 

Grayson: she’s still teaching him the ways of megan thee stallion and beyonce, her british friend WILL be cultured

Caden: best believe that she texts him on the regular, sending him tiktoks and stupid memes that reminds her of him (”Look, it looks like you” *sends him a garbage can or something*)

Rafael: after their visit, the two talk about different stuff! mostly about their lowkey tiktok fame that they got from their failed dancing videos

Her free time has gone towards working on creating clothes for Marlowe’s upcoming baby because she’s THAT friend

Sunshine Lorraine Martin Summer Adventure - Isaiah’s Graduation Edition - @gallaghertasks

tw: slight violence (just the martin twins fighting like usual <3)

Waking up early the day after the party, Sunny pulled herself out of the fort that her and Lucas made. Her mother had told her that she would be at Gallagher at ten in morning, which gave her three hours to get ready and leave. Her stuff was already packed up in the room, all she had to do was shower and get Starlight ready for their trip back to Alabama. It sucked, having to say bye to her friends, but in month, they would be back together.

She sat inside of her room, waiting for her mother to knock only to find her older sister Imani. The two screamed and hugged, you know, that cute sisterly shit you do. Were they loud? Hell yeah. Would anyone tell them to be quiet? No way! You try telling Gallagher’s sunshine to keep it down, you’ll regret it right away. Together, the duo packed all of Sunny’s belongings into Imani car (”Oh my god, you’re driving a mini van now? What are you, a soccer mom?”), ready by exactly twelve. Friends were hugged, pictures were taken, and byes were said before the youngest Martin took off. The car ride back home was filled with updates about their schools, singing loudly to their favorite songs, and questions about Sunny’s nonexistent love life (”Come on, there’s gotta be some guy you’re interested in!”). There was nothing but sisterly love being said between the two.

Once back in Alabama, all of her stuff was taken up to her room and hugs were given to her mama and papa. They all talk about her first year at school, it was only with her mama that she went more in depth in private. Worry crossed over the older woman’s face as she pulled her youngest into her chest. What a way to start off your college career: with fear and anxiety at an all time high. “Do you want to stop going?” asked her mother, a question that Sunny wasn’t expecting. She pulled away quickly, shaking her head no. She knew what she was getting into with attending Gallagher, she was NOT going to give up.

Her time at her childhood home lasted only a day as they had to leave the next day for California. Isaiah Martin was graduating from UCLA and the gang was ready. Flying to California was a lot better than driving, Sunny wasn’t sure if she could do that again. Once there, the family checked into their hotel before meeting up with Isaiah for lunch. The whole gang was back together, everyone! The cutest family out there that was filled with so much love. It was tough, not having her family with her while she was at Gallagher, but it allowed her to become her own person without living in the shadows of her brother and sister. 

The next day was graduation day. Pictures were taken of the trio and also the whole family. When the name “Isaiah Martin” was about to be said, all you could hear was that THAT black family at the graduation (”We ask that you wait for all names to be called before cheering.” Sunny and Imani leaned onto each other, laughing at that.) His graduation day was filled with lots of love and happiness, the youngest Martin proud of her brother. 

Since the family was in California, they decided to use it as their vacation time. Time was spent at the beach, shopping together, and even looking at Isaiah’s apartment (”You couldn’t get anything... better?” chirped Imani. Isaiah only rolled his eyes, hitting her back with, “Funny, did the girl who lives in a shoebox in New York say something? Oh, I guess not.” .... Let’s just say that the Martin twins did start fighting right there and then yikes). Things were back to normal and Sunny was happy about that. 

After the semester that she had, it was what she needed. To spend time with family and to ground herself. Of course, she also continued talking to her friends! Her and Ruby would constantly text, both geeking out about various things (”Can you believe that we’ll be second years next year? We’re going to be upperclassmen to someone, whoa!”), and then there was her text and FaceTime sessions with Lucas. Anytime his name would pop up on her phone or if he would ask to call her, the widest grin that you’ve ever seen would show up on her face alongside the feeling of butterflies in her stomach. She would always catch herself, taking note of these things about herself, finding it strange. 

Think of the TikTok audio “wait, wait, wait, aye--”, that was Sunny whenever she caught herself. It wasn’t the first time that baby girl has liked someone, but it was usually some guy in another class in high school. This was one of her good friends, someone who she talked to on the regular and made plans with to hang out in Berlin!!! This was different and bad AAHH!!!! 

Because whenever she would think about Lucas, her mind would go back to the last time they saw each other. How they danced together at the event, Lucas laughing at Sunny as she attempted to gamble, how they got their other friends to dance with them, him carrying her back to his room because the shoes that Maia loaned her were starting to hurt, so he offered to carry her on his back. Then there was the pillow fort being made, snacks that were waiting for them, Sunny choosing the movie to watch, how as they were getting ready and Sunny realized that she forgot her pjs in her room (Cyrus and Jai were having s*x so there was NO WAY she was going back there!), so Lucas let her wear his. To them cuddling together inside of the fort and then falling asleep next to each other--

Sunny literally swatted those thoughts away as the realization hit here. Picking up her phone, she clicked on Ruby’s name and sent the other a text:

RUBY!!!!! RED ALERT!!!!

i think that i have a crush on lucas

and i’m definitely fucked

And that concludes Sunshine Lorraine Martin’s summer adventure. Get ready for Berlin folks, because it’s gonna be a ride. 

Some facts:

Starlight was with her the entire time because that’s her child and also her ESA. 

Current hairstyle: long brown hair! A little protective style for Berlin, ya feel me. 

Maybe she’ll shave her head because China with a shaved head? Hot af

Ya damn skippy the Martin kids made a bunch of TikToks together!!! And ya damn skippy they got that fame because they’re all hella attractive black kids

During one of their nights together, Sunny opened up to Imani and Isaiah about being queer. She was nervous at first but trusted them. The two accepted her without a problem. 

Isaiah, a himbo: Aye, welcome to the we like girls gang! (Imani punched him for that)

It was the night of the party that marked the beginning of her crush for Lucas but it was only a week before Berlin that she came to term with those feelings! 

Sunny is the CEO of not having a consistent Instagram theme which is SO different from Harper (I legit hate THIS)

Also, the only time Sunny gets a bunch of likes and comments is when she posts pictures of Isaiah because we are all simps for him

“You know, I should’ve been suspicious of you from the beginning,” Harper was sitting across from Grayson, arms crossed over her chest and foot tapping the ground. The two were sitting in the library, where she found the other who was usually always around her. She never thought about it, just assuming that it was because they were Georgetown students, well, now she learned that that was a fucking lie. “You seemed too trusting of the Gallagher students. Turns out that you’re also one of them. Is there anything else you’ve been lying to us about?” @graysonberkshire​
