(lovely anon) i'm so happy to finally be answering this oh my goodness hi gorgeous human being i feel that it has been too long 🥲 SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST TIME I'VE WRITTEN ONE OF THESE HOW HAVE YOU BEEN

to answer the things you have said most recently- i'm so mad that spring break is over bc now i have to go back to life??? like dancing and school and shit that feels so unnessacry 😭 and like i can't just do nothing anymore? i was so used to it and now...... ugh. i STILL haven't played sims (i think it's because ✨depression✨ be hitting sometimes) lol but MWAHAH IM SO HAPPY FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR!AU AND THAT THEY HAD LITTLE BABY LEO!! i feel the name thing.. i just come up with something that sounds nice? i think leo is a nice name, it makes me think about lea michele and the fact that her son's name is Ever Leo but anyway. i don't name my sims after what i want to name my children irl either... idk why though. (i don't know why i'm telling you this but for boy names i love Liam🥰 and if i had twin boys i think i would do Liam and Peter though i am not married to the name Peter.... anywho)

LMAOOO the therpaist coming made me laugh thank you :)) i hope it's helpful? this may be tmi but i've only really had negative thoughts recently and not many healthy outlets so i'm hoping crossing one thing off this sad list will make me feel better :') i think during spring break my anxiety and my depression really spiked? idk, it comes in episodes but yeah THIS GOT REALLY SAD

i think a lot of things when i read your posts but i never say them hahaha so imma say it now: i googled what bon appetit meant ( i also just had to google how to spell it ) but ur right, i feel like bone apple tea makes more sense than bone apple teeth.. the "th" is throwing me off bc how i say it bone appa (like app-a) teet (like you're saying tit but teet lol) so bone apple tea makes more sense to me lol

i never know really know the time difference for anything lmao but est to germany (that's not gmt is it?) is like 6 hours wOAH so it's like 9pm while it’s 3pm here? wowee

i feel mega weird after watching this show called hollywood (darren criss is in it, so is laura harrier and a bunch of other people) but i don't like it💀 i feel really icky rn and idk why but reading your last response to my ask (?) always makes me feel better :')

i am doing what you said btw, i'm typing this on my computer first then gonna transfer it to my phone's tumblr lol but when you said a digital detox, it's interesting cuz i feel like i've been having one since tom's new project was announced? gOD i don't wanna get into it bc i get so triggered but i've been off of instagram since then bc instagram stans literally stand by tom through whatever even when something ain't right- i’m just gonna leave it there bc i’ll continue the rant, but yeah so i took a break lol

also heard abt your driving lesson thing (?) was it that bad? i can't find the old post but someone asked if you hooked up with your lesson person and i was sOOO CONFUSED LMAOO LIKE OK ARIA GET SOME BUT UHH HUH?

now to address the actual response HAHA the way you touch my heart :') by :') bringing :') up :') halle :') being ariel :') (i honest to God don't remember if i brought this up first, forgive me if i did, it's been a minute lmao) i'm always talking about it and i'm pretty sure my family is so tired of me talking about it lmao, but YEAH when i found out they weren't twins i was so surprised but idk why i always thought they were twins? but YOU ARE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE WITH THE DISNEY TALK- everyone is always like "tiana is my favorite princess" and yea she's strong and stuff but...... she was a frog. for almost the whole time. it's about time we got another one!! i do agree with some people on the fact that disney should just make another black princess but halle is adorable and i was ariel on stage so it's already really special to me :')

yeah lol there are good times with my brothers but they make me mad for a good portion of the time (there's the 12yo vincent and the 7yo daniel but vincent??? psshhh he is a piece of work and i'm not sure how much longer i can put up with him HAJAH AND YES VINCENT IS THE ONE WHO WAS 👁👄👁WHEN I CRIED AND THE ONE WHO DOESN'T LISTEN TO MUSIC- writing this now makes it sound like vincent is awful. which he isn't... we're working on him ig. not to add to the awfulness but no, he listens to obnoxious loud VIDEO GAME MUSIC and won't stop when we ask him to stop... he gets beat up a lot) anyway i imagine being an only child is really calming.. like you have time to yourself and its just you and your parents 😌

yeah let me know if you end up watching it (wandavision)! i think it's great but if you like it lmk!! tfatws is sooo good like PHEW i am honestly loving it. sidenote: j*hn w*lker makes me wanna jump through the screen and choke him to the ground. i was thinking right, and the falcon and the winter soldier (THATS SO MUCH EASIER FAJHKDAH) would techinally be like a 10 hour movie right? because every episode is an hour long and there'll be 10 episodes? like wow. i get what you mean though, abt the racism in the show etc, like looking forward to it but not like..... no i get what you mean i will not try and give another example lol but you make me wanna learn more languages like really badly (bc of what you said about the german to american translation) & if you end up watching hamilton PLEASE LMK ABT THAT TOO HAHAHA i love it so much, same thing with lion king lmaoo

speaking of germany, i was at lunch on saturday with my mom and her friend and we were talking about my schooling and like-- she planted this idea in my head lol like what if i just got my GED and went around the world (to england probably) to get a theatre experience??? and i think it sounds so cool but no where near practical lol, it's just..... the dream haha and i would then try and learn a language 😉

uh yes we absolutely should order basically a resturant meal at a cinema, how about burgers, chips (fries), and a large drink? any time next week works for me, should i pick you up?

also about cherry (which i still haven't watched yet lol) i got the timestamps from tumblr😌 i couldn't find them anywhere else, but i agree, i probably wouldn't even look twice at cherry if tom wasn't in it? like i liked tdatt a lot, but it's not a movie i would be itching to see ya know?

HAHAHAHA THE 24 HOUR NOTIFICATION- i think i have around 1030 hours on sims? but i've had it since 2019 lmao (reading the screenshots, yes u are 100% a genuis, i take screenshots too but on anon you can't upload them so i just read them and retype what i wrote lmao) i think the university experience in the game is fun, but time consuming and it's all work imo. idk why i do it so often tho 😭😭😭

and agreed!! when you're making good money in the game you have to find other ways to make it interesting. my cousins who play it just continously do "motherlode" and i'm like.... then what do you do in your game?? it just sounds boring to me... my current sims household, i had a famous comedian sim, her name was dylan, aND SORRY IM LAUGHING SO HARD WHILE WRITING THIS BC ITS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE UNI THING UNLESS IM JUST DUMB, she went to college for communications when i wanted her to be a comedian and when she graduated i realized that degree did nothing for the career 🥲 so yeah, i think i'm just dumb. but she had a kid in college, guy didn't stick around and she was pretty broke HA but then she got married to this (great) guy named steve, made good bank, had 5 more kids (two sets of twins and one more lol) but then she passed. uhm... yeah that's still an open wound . lol i'm kidding, but when you get rich like that, you have to find a way to make the game interesting and i chose a million kids.

(this was one giant paragraph until i broke it up uhh yeah) i seriously don't pay attention to the sims prices and just end up spending way too much money and not being able to finish the rest of the house😭 but then again, i'm so used to having sims live in apartments... if i end up building a house FIRST OF ALL it'll look like what you explained before lmao but i'll tell you if i actually end up building a house HAHA & planning out your sims game is so fun to me lol, did enisa and michael take in his daughter yet? i may be thinking too far ahead lol and i love that they fucked woohooed (i say woo woo lol) in celebration HAHA but when i was playing with this one couple i had them woo woo every night hoping the dude would have horrible pull out game and they would concieve, but one night they were too tired and i was like why? get back in there man. if i was in college and lived with my partner we would be fucking every night homie. be grateful. i have been talking a lot about sims, and like you said: enough 💀 i just love this game a lot 😭😭

SORRY LAST THING i think the sims romantic and sexual stuff is so nice bc its what i want?? LMAO IDK like the whole hot tub thing you're talking about- puh lease ITS JUST NICE TO SEE OKAY

i'm reading the german section over again and i said aloud "my german friend is so cool" lol (i was saying that to my brothers & i know they don't care LMAO) (& i'm glad the uni zoom call went well!!) so on a form, in german, it could possibily say Einführungsveranstaltungsteilnehmer because you would be a participant to an introductory event? i swear german sounds so cool 😌 but i love reading your german lessons!! it's really interesting, most of the time my brain can't comprehend it tho?? like that word makes sense to you, but i need a translation. like to be able to look at that and know what it says.... its just appealing and seems so cool lol i kinda wanna write something out in german but i feel that google translate will fail me. während googeln "google übersetzen" mein Computer war so verdammt langsam und es fühlte sich einfach wie etwas Gutes auf Deutsch zu sagen. ich bin nicht sicher, welches Wort ist "fucking", aber ich mag es lmao (did it fail me like i thought it would??)

LMAOOO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP JUSTIN BC WHILE AT THE RESTURANT THEY PLAYED A JUSTIN SONG AND I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF YOU AND THIS STORY😭 lol i was thinking it's depending on your age but not even that either... i really don't know.... but tom's fans are hollanders💀 i would consider myself one? he's the only person i'm really into like that (like a lot lol) so idk lmao (directioners 💔💔the pain is real)

LMAOOO (both of these paragraphs started off with “lmaooo” smh) "i like my men when they look like they are on the brink of death" PLEASE, i don't like pete's blonde hair... i just don't. i'm not sure if i wasn't watching the most recent snls but yea. my mom thinks he looks like trash, but i think he's okay? like he said staten island people just look like trash LMAO and I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN KING OF STATEN ISLAND GIRL I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THAT!! now i'm gonna make plans to watch it lmao, & yes agreed i find pete hot, don't ask why i really couldn't explain it to someone he's just .

my favorite songs from rex are from pony oh my goodness 🥺 anywho i'm gonna go eat cereal (i ended up eating bun and cheese instead) and listen to the Stormzy songs you recommended... aria. aria aria aria. i would like to thank you for introducing me to stormzy i- i don't have any words or any emojis to express HOW GOOD STORMZY IS. i hope he's popular in germany/the uk because i haven't heard of him but GURLLLL

one second - delicious i love it. it's really good. it’s not my favorite from the album, but its great.

superheroes - at first i played the non-explicit one (on accident) and wondered why the words weren't playing but i was reading them in the lyrics??? THIS ONE THOUGH??? IS THE BEST SONG I THINK I'VE EVER HEARD. i am so SO SO into black people empowering songs (like brown skin girl by beyonce) and this song???? PHEW I CRYYYYY ITS SO GOOD.... i was gonna quote some lyrics BUT THERS TOO MANY I LOVE, "i am young, black, beautiful, and brave" "black queen, you're immaculate, it's coming at the world, they ain't ready for your magic yet, and that was never your fault" THAT WAS NEVER YOUR FAULT- I ALMOST CRIED THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL (i played it twice lol)

lessons is another beautiful one, like its slow and it feels intimate and nurturing and just OO chefs kiss, beautiful . like you can feel the apology and the regret... it’s so good

own it - OWN IT OWN IT OWN IT IS AMAZING!! swear you would catch me dancing to this song, this song is so fucking good i cannot comprehend like this one might be my favorite for real... "it's the way you wind up your waist, i'm so in awe, you never have to worry abt nothing, you know its yours, you know you own it" 🥲 i played it two or three times honestly

rachael's little brother - YES I DID LISTEN TO IT LMAO AND YES I LIKE IT, its a very complex song and it's very layered in terms of emotions i think and i really like that about it. i probably won't listen to it that often, but its really good. i would recommend this song to my "older brother" bc he would just absolutely love this

shut up - i was taking this song seriously (also very good) until i heard him say shu-T up LMAO, this one is good, i probably wouldn't listen to it 24/7 like rachael's little brother but honestly its still fire

before listening to blinded by your grace and vossi bop, i know you brought up the religion bit, i definitely don't mind that, especially because i'm Christian lol and i actually liked that he brought up God in some of his songs like idk i just like it🥰🥰

(i then went to bed after that lol but first thing in the morning i listened to superheroes and... that song is probably my favorite tbh, i was gonna write MORE quotes that i loved from it but, yeah no there's too many. if you want i'll tell you lmao but this is already so long i would just be quoting the whole friggin song)

VOSSI BOP IS A BOP (lol) I CANT EVEN LIE, i love a song that hypes up a dude's girl so the line- i love that my phone decided to fail to load the lyrics, lemme google it, okay the lyric "looking at my girl like what a goddess" i was like AYEEE its honestly just really good. and no one in america says "sauce" like "i've got the sauce" but now i do (thanks to love island and Nas from last season) and now stormzy so (also im gonna watch the music video for superheroes bc it looks great so 😛)

(because this is already so long i feel like i shouldn't finish the rest but . no i'm gonna do it)

now for blinded by your grace pt2 idk why i’m nervous lmaoo PAUSE I'M NOT EVEN DONE WITH THE SONG GIRL THIS SONG IS *chefs kiss* no words, speechless PHEW y'all gon make me start jumping around. why did i not know about stormzy before, he is amazing i- ok yeah i finished the song, all i have to say is that Stormzy is immaclucate. period. i am literally sending his music to all my friends he is..... amazing

you want my song recommendations 🥺🥺 hmm uh okay lol i listen to a lot of old music, whitney houston, marvin gaye, queen, celine dion, i love "more than words" by extreme uhmm okay, but for actual music i listen to on the daily? (this is a lot of different music like.... they do not go together lmao so be prepared) a song about being sad by rex orange county, betty by taylor swift and lover by taylor swift and... most of that album lol, treasure by bruno mars lmao, OOOO and versace on the floor by bruno as well, lazybaby by dove cameron, creep by tlc has been on repeat lol, deja vu by olivia rodrigo (i saw what you said about drivers license and AGREED LMAO but i like deja vu a lot more haha) and two albums that i listen to in general, rare by selena gomez and ungodly hour by chloe x halle 🥰 you don't have to listen to all of them or any of them lol but that's a sense of what i'm into :) so basically everything haha, i'm into literally every single kind of music really so i wasn't too surprised that i enjoyed stormzy :’)

HAHASBSJHAHA your h20 story cracked me up,, like "wow these actors are so dedicated, learning german just for us" 😭 the beauty of overdubbing

once again, math and maths, in my mind maths makes sense because its mathmatics, but saying maths doesn't feel right to me lol, like if i said maths i feel like everyone would look at me like ??? and yea i was taught it as math so its just more natural for me. but yes math/maths is disgusting, easily one of my least favorite subjects so .

mkay. i- the first time i read this i could not contain my laughter when you said the only pollen you know is sex pollen LMAOKOOSHBABJFAJF STOPPP I'M EVEN LAUGHING WRITING THIS,, anyway. wow! that's interesting, my dad (<<< mostly anything else) gets migraines from the sun and the heat and stuff, yesterday (sunday, i was outside for like hours watching my brothers play football, the american kind lol) i was in the sun for like ever and i got a headache😔

summer clothes🥲 i need to go shopping fr fr. for my birthday my mom and dad got me a giftcard like dedicated to a shopping spree and we've yet to go so..... i should bring it up to my mom lol, but!! i went bra shopping (ended up returning literally all of them cuz they honestly didn't work for day to day work? its a long story) and if i could i would walk around in this new "summer bra" i got, i would. it's so fricking cute and its really light fabric (which isn't perfect for my nipples but still) so i don't get hot in it, but that bra and some shorts would be perfect. its the closest thing to being naked so

IS THE BIRD STILL BOTHERING U ARIA, TELL ME NOW ISTG, i laughed really hard that the bird isn't stupid and is really trying to torture you LMAOO like i was rolling, it wants you to suffer, badly

when you said "mensus" it was still close to mens!!! latin speaking queen 😌😌

okay STORYTIME i was reading back your response and started (fake) crying bc i love you lol and my youngest brother (daniel) gon say "oh man, catherine's crying about something we don't care about, again" I--- i swear when i tell you about them they sound awful, but they aren't that bad, just the stuff i say about them is sounds really mean LMAO

but the thing you said about being kind, same, what i always say is: don't be the person that makes people say "i hate people" ya know? like there's no reason to be a jerk or anything.... but its true 🥺🥺🥺🥺 you are really kind and every time i talk to you i would like to personally fly to germany and give you a hug 💖💕💞💗💓💝💖💘

& i'm gonna show my stretch marks some love bc of you 🥺😭 i really hate how men have basically everyone conditioned that you can't love your own body </3 fuck them, y'all beautiful :')

also thanks for what you said :')) you literally are the kindest, sweetest person i think i've ever spoken to and i love you 🥰🥺🥲💓💗

READING YOUR TAGS HAHAHHAHA the spelling errors makes everything so much funnier. once again, i like your german lessons & yea!! i'm gonna play sims after writing this hahah

#catherine's tags are back #i don't think i've told you my name before?? #anyway it's catherine🥰🥰🥰 #i'm typing this on my computer (without emojis) and if i didn't edit this you would be reading shit shite like #heartface and pout and cry LMAO #yeah abt the tattoos #some stuff with my parents i'm like deal with it??? lol #my mom tells me "if there's something you enjoy or you like but i don't have the same opinion on it... why would my (my mom's) opinion matter? #and i love that #like i'm not gonna go and do whatever i want #but if my mom doesn't like that i swear (which isn't true just an example) #its like okay.... #but whatever #and your tattoo ideas sound really cute!! #and yeah @ your parents, i mean you aren't getting something wild #and the tattoo album>>> #i'm gonna look up ariana's butterfly tattoos just so i know what you mean lol #but i'm guessing you don't want something so incredibily simple, but not super like over the top? #correct me if i'm wrong lol #LMAO the tags were in order don't worry ! #and yeah lol ily2 <33 #and once again, again, sorry for this post JSHJS ITS A MESS AND LONG AS HELL #and you don't need to go in order of my post its literally longer than your german compound words #u're fine #also !!! while writing this the birds were chirping outside and i was like 😳 #and one of your fics (i’ve read all of them, i don’t remember lol) that valentine’s day one where y/n had lingerie on (the pancake one lol) #inspired me to buy lingerie #like when i look back on me “growing up” #that fic & basically you lol really helped with that #that made no sense and i don’t know how to make it make sense... but... yeah. like ily

hiiiiiiiiiii <3333

Dear catherine, 😌

(you have said your name before, but it wasn‘t like an introduction or anything i think you were talking about .... was it possibly the incident at the cinema??? And you said something like ‘calm down catherine‘ like you were telling yourself to calm down idkd dkdkkdkd anyway i didn‘t mention it cause i wasn‘t sure if it was an accident or not dkdjd but now i know 😌❤️ Catherine is such a cute and lovely name btw omg and so are your brothers‘s names 🥰

Sorry that I‘m answering this so late, it‘s been an emotional rollercoaster for me since last week but i‘ll get to that in a second lol

Sksklssk girl i haven‘t played sims in like 2 weeks now ekejdkdlldld ok that‘s not that long at all actually but i keep wanting to play but then i end up not playing for whatever reason, so no news about my sims game 😔 but i love the names Liam and Peter and for twins!!! That sounds really nice actually

okay i‘m trying to answer your ask in chronological answer even though i wanted to wait for the depressing stuff and write it at the end or something OKAY so. i thought that i‘d feel so good when i start uni and that i‘ll like... have a purpose in life again and just be happy (cause in the last year i didn‘t do much and i was depressed like half of the time lol).... anyway i kind of feel even worse now? 😭 i think it‘s because in my brain it‘s like: university!!! that means your life will change and it‘ll all be so exciting. and don‘t get me wrong it is exciting butttt..... idk the online thing is so weird cause you‘re not meeting any new people (i‘m introverted anyway but still lol) and it doesn‘t feel like you‘re listening to/talking to actual people cause it feels the same as just watching a video?

also i thought i‘d be busy again but i only have one lecture (90mins) a day and theres one day where i dont have any lectures at all and just one day where i have 3 hours but.... idk i mean i shouldn‘t complain about having so much free time but i just don‘t know what to do all day and in a pandemic there really is nothing to do but i also can‘t relax bc it‘s like during the week and i know i have uni the next day and .... yeah.

There‘s also this one assignment i had to do that took me AT LEAST SIX HOURS AND IM NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING????? so that was the only thing i‘ve been doing besides “going to“ lectures. for this one course we have to read two (really really long) texts (like it literally took me 3 hours to read them) and we‘re supposed to post it on this website that all the professors in our uni use. So after 5 days of anxiety (✌🏼) i posted mine this morning bc last night i realised that i didn‘t even know why i was having anxiety so i just posted mine today. The deadline is tomorrow at 12 and no one except me has posted theirs yet........ so i have anxiety again 🥰 cause idk if i‘m the only one who did it or if i even did it correctly

Edit while i‘m rereading this: my anxiety about uni is a lot better and i‘m not as d*pressed anymore maybe it was just hormones? idk but i‘m better so that‘s good

(I started writing this like 5 hours ago and then i randomly completely forgot lol)

I‘m in a better mood now though so let‘s move on from that (oh wait also, i think i‘m gonna see if i can find a psychiatrist bc with my anxiety symptoms (long story) i need to go to a psychiatrist, and so far i‘ve only gone to like psycholgists and it didn‘t help but i think that‘s just bc i was meant to go to a psychiatrist and not a psychologist so dldjdjsj

n e ways but yes you‘re not alone, ily, things will get better and yes i love you (i‘m not good at this type of thing🥲 but i‘d hug you right now if i could <3)

Yess i think the time difference between est and me is 6hours but gmt is uk time i believe? i think mine is called.... cet? For central european time? I could be completely wrong though lmao

Oof i completely forgot about hollywood, i remember when laura kept posting about it on instagram but i never actually watched it and i definitely won‘t now lmaodkdksjsn

Okay my driving lesson LEBDJDKDK I DID NOT HOOK UP WITH ANYONE AKSJSKSMMLM especially not my 40 or 50 year old driving instructor lol i like her but NOT LIKE THAT, the lesson was really really really good actually and i think i‘ll have my driving test soon, but i don‘t even remember why the anon would have thought that??? Oh wait now i remember okay KEKSKDLDL so during the lesson my instructor was like do you mind if i turn on some music? AND THIS WOMAN TURNED ON ONE DIRECTION I LOVE HER so i made a post about it and i said something about the song up all night and i guess i phrased it in a .... idk in a dumb way 💀 so the anon made a joke that i stayed up with my driving instructor all night and NO. No.

Wait did i read that right? YOU WERE ARIEL ON STAGE? SIALDBDJDKSLMSBDKDMDMDKDJSLSMDJFJJEDMBFEKLEFBJDLDVSIDLESKSKWKDKDJDOWNYUEKWNDUWLNSUFLWVSUDLEHDOENSIDBEISBEHENJELBSIEMWUDNRIW KB WOBE JO ON SBEUU HIII S HWS LV W ICH US KB okay this keyboard smash is getting out of hand but uh please do elaborate on that 💘😌???? Like you can‘t just drop that information and not say more??? I forgot if you‘re in like your school‘s drama group (is that a thing? lol idk anything about acting) or in an independent group? Either way - ARIEL that is so fucking cool

Your brothers loooooool, no i get it though obviously you love them and stuff but esp at their age children are so annoying so good luck with them 😭😭😭lmao

Yeah “anyway i imagine being an only child is really calming.. like you have time to yourself and its just you and your parents 😌“ yeah just me and my parents who constantly fight 🥰 lmao no i like being an only child, like i cannot imagine having siblings but i feel like if i had siblings i would be saying that i can‘t imagine being an only child so? but i do think it‘s quite different like i‘m trying to imagine having siblings and WHAT that‘s just so different omg i‘ve never really thought about it like properly ???

I saw a tik tok the other day that was like “sometimes i forget that my siblings have a life of their own. like i see them as side characters in my life“ and even though i can‘t relate obviously i felt that. lol, like i can really imagine how it feels idk what i‘m talking about like shut the fuck up, daria

(also my actual name is daria not aria but i dont like it, and also i wanted to be more anonymous on tumblr so now i‘m aria lmao. pls don‘t mention it though cause no one knows except for you and mel (peterbenjiparker) dkdkdkdnkdnd. but i‘m starting to identify with the name cause everyone keeps calling me that looool😭😭😭 (but i like the name, more than daria anyway? well it also depends on the accent, cause the way germans say daria is okay. the was Americans say it is also okay, but some of my family in England are from the north of england and i don‘t like how they say my name 💀 no offence to them(?) but yeah pls don‘t mention the name in your ask cause the chance of people seeing it is higher then (or if you want to say something about it just send a separate ask and i just won‘t post it (IDK what you‘d want to say about my name but yeah just in case slsldlldmsndnsns)

I‘m loving falcon and winter soldier so much but when i was watching an episode the week before last week (?) my laptop broke😭😭😭😭 during the scene where the dora milaje came at the end my laptop just shut down? And it had these lines all over the screen and i had to bring it to the shop where i bought it and they said it‘ll take 6-8 weeks to repair 💔💔💔 but at least it‘ll be for free, cause if i brought it back to apple it would cost like 400€ (i think that‘s nearly 500$) so yeah. but it sucks cause now i‘m “going to uni“ on a really old rusty laptop and on my phone which kinda sucks. oh yeah and also i can‘t watch anything on there 😭 i definitely want to watch wandavision but it‘ll have to wait🤧

Yessss you should def get your GED! I googled and I‘m still not entirely sure what it is dldks but from how you described it- YES!!!!!!

Idk if you know this? Like no idea if I‘ve told you this already (hmmm wait i feel like we talked about it actually?) anyway i was originally gonna go study in England, but for loads of reasons I ended up staying in Germany and I‘m def happy with my decision, but I definitely want to go to England sometime even if it‘s just for six months or maybe for my masters or something? And (obviously everyone is different) but i think everyone should go abroad and live in a different country once in their life, no matter if it‘s for school or what, and even if it‘s just for a few weeks. But i think that‘s something that you‘d never ever forget! And combining that with your acting/theatre??? You really would be living the dream 💘💘😌

how about burgers, chips (fries), and a large drink? any time next week works for me, should i pick you up?— sounds good see you soon 🥰🥰🥰

i used to be one of the people who‘d just do motherlode motherlode motherlode and just... what did i do? Why did i do that??? But not anymore lol. Like I said i haven‘t played sims in a few weeks but i‘ve been watching a few legacy challenge let‘s plays and usually i play with the aging off. So my sims just don‘t age 💀 but i could (should) turn aging on so that it stays exciting and i have limited time and everything. and once i get bored with my current sims i can just make them have kids and continue playing as their children when they get older- like recently i remembered that i haven‘t played the acting career in ages? and i haven‘t had a shop in ages? and i think you can even become a vet right??? like those are definitely some things i want to do in the next weeks!!! Also yes sksksjs i have a few hundred hours on sims as well (if not thousands 😭) it was just that one household that i‘d been playing with for 24hrs

AND GIRL SSKSKJD THE UNIVERSITY THING HAPPENED TO ME TOO, it was a while ago so i don‘t remember what degree and what job it was about but i made my sim study something for aaaaaages so she‘d get a better job from the beginning (you know what i mean like get in at a higher level)...... and i apparently studied the wrong thing cause i didn‘t get any benefits from studying and still had to start at level 1 and shit 🥴🥲

Oh also (this was like 2 weeks ago) Enisa and Michael did take in Michael‘s daughter and i think Enisa currently even has a higher/better relationship with the daughter than Michael but um💀💀💀 also i was hoping (since michael and enisa married (in their back yard i think lol) that the daughter (i forget what her name is😭) would have enisa as her step mom? Like you know how you can see the relationship and it says daughter or son or sister.. and i was hoping that it would say step mom but it doesn‘t say anything 🥲 but in my mind (and if the sims had proper family relations) she is her step mom😌 also Leo is a teenager now???? I mean I aged him up lol dkdk he was being too annoying as a toddler but i don‘t like children so i aged him up twice in one day and now he‘s a teen, but that means he can look after his half sister when she becomes a toddler which is good (the game recognises them as siblings tho even if they‘re just half siblings? why can‘t they have step family members in the sims🥲) okay i‘ve annoyed you enough with sims ✋🏼

I‘ve been a bit sick these past few days and now i‘m getting a headache so i have to finish this response tomorrow 😭😭😭 </3

It‘s not tomorrow, it‘s 3 hours later but i‘m better lol

oooff when sims are ungrateful and won‘t woo woo (lol i like that) cause they‘re too tired like?? Be grateful that you‘re not living with your parents anymore 🙄 no okay dkdkdkdl idk if you play with mods (i don‘t) but i know there is a mod (or it‘s part of a mod idk maybe wicked whims?) where you can adjust the percentage of how risky a normal woo woo is, like you still click woo woo (3dksksks okay i‘ll say woohoo again— wait is that what’s it called? 😭) but there‘s like a 25% chance that your sim can still get pregnant just like in real life there‘s always a chance of getting pregnant even if you‘re using protection (just not 25% lmao) but yeah i personally don‘t play with mods sksk and you can always just click try for baby but it would be cool if you could add stuff like risky woohoo to the game without mods (i have no idea how to download mods and i play sims on a really really old laptop and sims is literally tje only thing that works on it anyway so—) i repeat my words from earlier: okay i‘ve annoyed you enough with sims ✋🏼

okay i‘m so sorry i‘m gonna watch fast & furious 1 now cause i need to watch f&f 1-5 until the 30th of april cause they‘re only on netflix til then (i mean i could watch them somewhere else but the quality is never as good) so i will finish this tomorrow after all😭

it is now 1 am, i finished the film, can feel a new obsession coming up again (i always have these f&f obsessions for six months before and after a new film comes out)

THE GOOGLE TRANSLATE wkekdjdj tbh it sounds like someone is speaking with some kind of foreign accent i guess that‘s probably because it just is a direct translation and so anyway slsjsj i don‘t know if you asked me what the word fucking is in german? like idk cause the translation is a bit weird but in case you asked lol sidjsjs theres not really a good translation like we just say fuck for fuck lmao, i don‘t know if you typed in fucking in google translate and it came out as verdammt? cause that means damn (or damned sksjjs) ummm yeah idek if/what you asked so imma move on🤧

I‘m not gonna comment on what you said about every stormzy song cause you already said all the important things but SKSKSJSJSKNSNDBDUDOENWBSLSKKHSULSLSKSBSJSKSK I WAS SMILING SO HARD WHEN I READ YOUR RESPONSE FOR THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH finally i know someone who loves him as much as i do 💘💘💘 also since you brought it up, i‘m pretty sure he‘s considered the most successful UK rapper or if not then at least top 3 so he‘s defffffffffinitely big in the uk, in germany more and more people are listening to uk rap too but not as much stormzy cause theyre dumb apparently 🙄 but anywY i‘m sooooo sooo happy that you like him. i think hith came out end of 2019 (i could be wrong but i think it came out on the 13th of december so (in a european way) you‘d write the date: 13.12 and obviously i don‘t KNOW this but i can definitely imagine that he chose that date because ACAB and yes, Michael. Yes. But he hasn‘t made too much music since then so i hope he‘s working on some new stuff 🤞🏼

Also i ordered the stormzy poster😌 also a nicki minaj one bc i decided i‘m gonna have one wall with red-ish posters (i already have two kinda red ones) and one with blue/green-ish posters (already have two) and i can add stormzy to the blue one and nicki to the red one, but i think that‘s it cause if my walls are tooo full it could look cluttered? I‘m not sure how that type of thing works lmao but my room is generally untidy so i don‘t want the walls to look unorganised too so i think that‘s it for now

I really want to finish this now but my brain is getting kinda slow and i need to sleep soon so this will have to wait till later after all 🥺🥴 (not that it makes and difference to you bc you‘ll see this whenever i post it buttttt i wanted you to know that i want to talk to you again but with my slow brain i‘m just taking too long to do it in one day😭😭😭 and i‘m so busy tomorrow hmm but i‘m sure i‘ll have 30 minutes to finish this then <3)

Okay wait I‘m so dumb I didn‘t realise I‘d nearly answered everything i could have posted this yesterday 😭😭

Oooohh that summer bra sounds so nice like if i was confident enough i literally would just wear a top that resembles a bra (or really is a bra lol) cause my tiddies always be looking amazing i‘m just insecure about my stomach sometimes 🙄🙄🙄 but recently i‘ve been loving myself more and more tbh 😌

also i hope you can go shopping for some nice clothes soon ✨😌

I‘ll be honest I haven‘t listened to your song recs YET but only because i wanna take my time with them and i‘ve been so busy and slso AJ tracey‘s album came out last week and I haven‘t listened to that one yet either so ekdkdj (he‘s also a uk rapper like quite popular and successful as well, but i feel like i‘m not gonna like his album cause whenever i‘m looking forward to an album it ends up being really bad and the albums where you weren‘t expecting it turn out to be bangers.... so yeah but i‘ll let you know when i listen to your songs!!!! :)

The Crossing (Disuphere series #3) Chapter 28

Scene II: The Story of Tonight

Francesca, it turns out, has zero interest in costume making. But she has 100% interest in trying on all of Dominique’s costumes.

“Ohhh, I love these,” Francesca breaths, taking out her blue Sadness wig and glasses. “Did you wear this for Halloween last year? Or is this your costume for this year?”

“I wore that one...last week?”

“Last week?” Francesca’s confused. “Halloween wasn’t last week.”

“Nope, but sometimes people dress up other times.”

“My moms say that’s not a thing,” Francesca says. “When I used to want to go to school as Doc McStuffins in kindergarten they said I couldn’t because people wore clothes not costumes, except on Halloween.”

“People wear what they wanna wear,” Dominique says. “As long as you don’t hurt anybody else, I’d say you’re okay to wear costumes.”

“Oh. That’s probably why I couldn’t then. Jesus used to be scared of costumes.” Francesca keeps going through bins. Finds Katniss’s bows and arrows and adds them to her costume. “Your mom lets you dress up?”

“The other day? My mom dressed up with me,” Dominique confides. She shows Francesca a picture of Mom dressed as Maleficent.

“Whoa,” Francesca says, impressed.

“Can I take your picture?” Dominique asks. She really does look too cute, dressing up in pieces of all of Dominique’s costumes. She’s found Hermione’s scarf. The wand. And the frog that sometimes goes with Tiana.

Francesca poses. Smiles. Then says, “You’re just like Callie.”

“Jesus said that, too. Because of the pictures?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you like Callie taking pictures?” Dominique asks.

“She’s in college, so she doesn’t get to anymore. Mostly I want her to post them on her Facebook, but Moms are really nervous about me having pictures up there before I’m thirteen. It’s no big deal, but they think it is.”

“They’re trying to protect you,” Dominique allows.

“They can’t from everything,” Francesca says, matter of fact. She takes off the scarf and asks Dominique where it goes. “They can’t from kids at school who tease. From teachers who are mean.”

“Teachers? What do you mean?”

“The ones who think I must’ve cheated. Or they treat me like a baby. Or just totally different from the other kids. Totally lower, you know? Like ‘Everybody get up and go do this, somebody else do it for Francesca.’”

“That sounds presumptuous,” Dominique insists, not happy.

“What does that mean?”

“It sounds like your teacher’s making decisions for you without asking you first.”

“Consent,” Francesca nods. “They teach us a lot in school, but don’t care about that…”

Dominique’s eyes widen. “How do you know about consent?”

“From Jesus,” Francesca shrugs, taking the wig off and putting it away. “It’s really easy. It just means ask first and if you hear yes that means a thing is okay. If you don’t hear yes or if the person’s scared to say no, or if you have a weird feeling about why they agreed, then it’s not okay. People act like it’s not for kids to know or something, but it is.”

“You’re right. It is. Kids should know about it,” Dominique comments quietly.

Francesca yawns. “Do you have a book we could read together?”

“Let me see… You ever read Harry Potter?” Dominique asks, taking her well-worn copy off the shelf.

“No.”

“That wand belonged to one of the characters,” Dominique says.

“Nah-uh. Seriously?” Francesca asks.

“Seriously.” Dominique maintains. She’s about ready to move to the living room couch when Francesca approaches her and the costume room chair with a blanket:

“Can we sit together here?” she asks.

“Sure. Can I give you a boost?” Dominique asks.

Francesca nods, and Dominique pulls her back onto Dominique’s lap. Francesca has Hermione’s wand. Covers them both with the blanket.

“Okay,” she says finally. “I’m ready.”

“Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.” Dominique intones.

“Sounds like my parents,” Francesca sighs, sounding weary. “But nobody’s perfectly normal, are they? Nobody’s perfect, and there’s no such thing as normal.”

“You are very smart,” Dominique says softly. “And you are very right.”

Dominique reads three chapters of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone before she realizes Francesca has fallen asleep on her lap. She’s still clutching the wand in her hand. Dominique can’t move much without waking her, so she just takes out her phone and snaps a black and white picture of Francesca’s hand against the blanket - the wand still in it. The book cover’s visible, too.

She sends the picture to Jesus, with the text:

Converting your baby sis into a Potterhead. Sorry not sorry.

Right about then, Dominique remembers her phone volume and turns it down. That way if Jesus, or anybody texts her back, the sound won’t wake Francesca (who breathes like Darth Vader, but Dominique would never say as much to her.)

She bides her time, reading the rest of Harry Potter as she sits there. It’s a long time before Jesus texts back:

Is that Frankie? What’s she doing there?

Dominique:

I guess she thought you knowing how bad she wanted to spend the night would be enough for you to change your plans? She showed up at the apartment and said no one answered her call at your place.

Jesus:

She didn’t leave a message. I had no idea it was her.

Dominique:

She called me. She told me you told her to if you ever weren’t there.

Jesus:

So sorry. I won’t be home for a bit yet. Are you fine w/ her?

Dominique:

I am. Text when you’re back, don’t knock.

Jesus:

Will do. Thank you so much for taking care of her.

Dominique:

Of course.

It’s near 11 PM before Jesus’s text comes through saying he’s back. By then, Dominique has nodded off, too, and with the volume on her phone down, she doesn’t hear it.

She wakes up at twenty after six with her phone alarm. Francesca jumps at the sudden noise, startled awake.

“Hey. Sorry,” Dominique apologizes.

She finds a couple texts from Jesus, assuring Dominique he had stopped by and that she could drop Francesca off in the morning anytime, because he’s up early.

“I fell asleep on you,” Francesca offers, embarrassed.

“Yeah, well, that book was pretty good, right?”

She nods. Stretches. “Sorry if I crushed you…” she says, shy now.

“Not possible,” Dominique reassures. “Don’t worry about it. Want some breakfast? S’mores granola bar for the road?” Dominique checks, standing up from the chair.

“Oooh,” Francesca grins. “That’s, like, basically dessert.”

“It is.”

At Francesca’s request, Dominique reads her a little bit more Harry Potter and then Francesca offers to read aloud to Dominique while she gets ready for work. It’s great, because she has no idea how to say any of the spells, so Dominique just fills it in because she basically knows the book by heart.

By 7:30, she walks Francesca across the hall. “Thanks for hanging out with me,” Dominique offers.

“Thanks for letting me in,” Francesca says seriously, wrapping her arms around Dominique. “I’m sorry for not asking,” she says, still holding on.

“It’s okay,” Dominique says, squeezing Francesca back.

“I’m gonna ask Jesus to download that book on my Kindle. Can you tell him which one it is?” she asks, as she knocks on the door with the loud as hell brass door knocker.

“Just tell him it’s the first Harry Potter book,” Dominique says.

Jesus finally opens the door, and before Dominique can open her mouth, Francesca’s talking a mile a minute:

“Guess what? I met Dominique. And I met Roberta. And we dressed up and read Harry Potter. Dominique’s my friend now, too.” Francesca pauses briefly for breath and checks behind her, looking to Dominique. “Right?”

“Right. We’re friends,” Dominique nods. “Francesca would like you to download Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone to her Kindle.” She offers a tiny smile.

“Okay, you weren’t kidding with that text, were you?”

“I don’t kid about Harry Potter.”

“You wanna go to Avoidance?” he asks.

“I do!” Francesca insists. “I’m in you guys’s friend group now, right? So I can do what you do?”

“I actually have to go to work. But I would love to take you to Avoidance if your brother says it’s okay sometime when I’m not working. Maybe we could all go? Mariana, too?”

“Yeah, sounds good.”

“And I am gonna be late. Bye guys.” Dominique says, hurrying down the hall.

For the first time in days, she feels lighter.

From work, she texts Mom the picture of Francesca’s hand holding the wand Mom made forever ago. With it, she sends the text:

J & M’s sis. No triggers. Must be magic, huh, Mom?

Mom texts back:

Must be. Take it slow. Take care. Love you.

Jaylos and harlos prompt! If you'd be so willing, Jay and Harry have been flirting with Carlos and both are on the tourney team. At the next game, Carlos doesn't know which one he should cheer for! Thanks love :)

(so it might not be EXACTLY what you asked for, it sort of got away from me and became a monster lol…I hope you like it! )

“Carlos! Carlos, hey, wait up will you?” Carlos paused in his steps as Gil called out to him, brow raised as the ex-pirate came to a stop beside him panting as though he’d run from the Tourney field, where he had been heading to for practice, to find him. The blond hadn’t been avoiding Uma’s gang since they’d made their way to Auradon Prep at Ben’s insistence, but he hadn’t exactly gone out of his way to seek them out either; still wary of their gangs ex rivals, he was riding on the side of caution with them even if the now-trying-to-be-good pirates made it difficult as they continuously seemed to seek him out.

“Hello, Gil. Is there, uh, something I can do for you? Shouldn’t you be at the field already?” He still winced when one of them spoke too loud, unused to their brash humour being directed at him out of anything but spite or malice, and Gil always seemed too eager to talk to him whenever he approached to make any conversation with him completely comfortable.

“Yes, and yes actually there is!” Gil’s cheerful response was followed by something being shoved into his hands, and Carlos took a moment to give Gil a confused look before looking down.

“Is this a…Tourney jersey?” His confusion, he felt, was warranted; he’d left the team about three weeks prior to join the cheer squad with Jane, finding himself much better at the jumps and flips than he had been on the actual field. Holding up the jersey, he noted the number and name on it; 64, Harry. “Gil, is this Harry’s jersey?” Gil nodded, a wide grin on his face, and Carlos wrinkled his nose as he held it back to the older teen. “Why are you giving me this? It reeks, is this the one he’s been keeping in his locker?” Gil’s grin fell some, and Carlos felt a small tinge of regret at his words.

“I mean yeah, he’s got his other practice one on today but he told me to come find you and get you to wear this to the game tomorrow. I guess I could see about getting you the clean one though,or ooh, I’ll go wash it!” Carlos’ brow furrowed, and he reached to grasp Gil’s arm to prevent him from running off.

“No, Gil, dude you have practice in like ten minutes. Why does Harry want me to wear his jersey to the game?” It made no sense to him- the only people who wore the practice jerseys on game day were those dating the players, not their once rivals. Gil gave him a frown, turning on his heel and grabbing Carlos by the arm to drag him towards the field, the younger teen stiffening in his grip as he was pulled along.

“Ben says that when you like someone in Auradon, you gotta give them presents and stuff to make sure they know you like them. Harry doesn’t have a whole lot, so he thought the jersey was maybe a good start. Plus dude. You’d look really adorable in it! Like, you look really cute in clothing too big for you, everyone saw you in Ben’s jacket that day you got caught in the sprinkler. Precious.” Carlos glared at Gil, attempting to tug his arm free of the ex pirates grasp as he gritted his teeth.

“Please stop manhandling me, Gil. I don’t like being grabbed.” Gil released his arm as though burnt, and Carlos felt some of his irritation melt away at the distressed look on the other teens face. “Thank you. And…what? Harry doesn’t like me, he can barely tolerate being in the same room as me!” Gil snorted, and the two began walking again, the field coming into view as the approached.

“Dude, yes he does. Harry’s totally had a crush on you since we all lived on the Isle and you showed him how to mix pitch that one time. How do you not know that?” Carlos paused in his walking to stare at Gil a long moment before shaking his head, continuing towards the bleachers the cheerleaders were crowded around.

“Well…I had no idea. I’m barely getting along with him, wearing his jersey seems like a big deal.” Gil’s face fell, and Carlos sighed, cursing his soft heart. “You can tell him I will consider it. Now go away, we have practice and if the coach catches you over here we’ll both get in trouble.” Making a shooting motion, Carlos turned to the bleachers and moved to approach where Audrey and Jane stood, seeming to have a heated discussion between them.

“Carlos! I was just about to come find you!” Jane’s usually bubbly voice held a slight edge of panic, and the urge to run swept over the boy as two pairs of eyes focused on him.

“Uh…okay? What’s up?” Audrey let out a loud groan, moving to lean against the rail of the bleachers dramatically.

“Over half the team forgot they signed up for the bake sale today. It’s pretty much just us, and we can’t have practice with three people. You might as we head back to the dorms, that’s what we’re going to do.” Carlos shrugged, nodding towards the field as the girls moved to gather their belongings.

“I’ll do a few laps, I’ve been inside all day and I’m going to be waiting for Jay to go to supper anyways, we’re going to Tiana’s place. His treat!” He beamed, and Audrey made a cooing noise, leaning to lightly pinch his cheek.

“I think it’s so cute when he pays for your dates!” Carlos frowned, swatting at her hand as she giggled and stepped back, Jane giving them both a fond smile behind her.

“It’s not a date, Audrey. You know as well as I do that Jay wouldn’t be interested in me. He’s the star Tourney player and the co-captain of Swords and Shields, he could have literally anyone he wants.” Jane reached out a hand to touch Carlos’ arm, giving him a sympathetic look.

“He wants you, Carlos. Anyone can see that.” Carlos scoffed, and Jane used the hand on his arm to turn him towards the field. “Look at how he’s always hyper aware of where you are. And that dopey grin as soon as he spots you, like everything’s fine because you’re here. He shows off for you when he knows your watching for pity’s sake!” Carlos frowned, but took note of the fact that Jane was at least partially correct. Jay’s entire demeanour changed as soon as he spotted him, going from seriously discussing something with Ben, Chad and Harry to waving at Carlos, the goofiest grin in place. Carlos couldn’t help but wave back, and was startled when Harry beamed at him and waved furiously as well, earning a small shove and a scowl from Jay. Audrey made a noise of interest, shifting against the railing to hip check Carlos, regaining his attention.

“What was that all about? Is Harry Hook into you?!” She looked a cross between scandalized and intrigued, and Jane perked up as she looked from Carlos to the foursome of boys standing on the field.

“According to Gil, Harry Hook wants me to wear his jersey at tomorrow’s game.” He held up the jersey, showing off the name and number and just barely catching the gleeful smirk Harry shot at Jay.

“What about poor Jay!?” Jane asked, her tone distraught as Audrey took the jersey to measure it against Carlos.

“Jay’s never asked me to wear his jersey, no.” Carlos stated teasingly, and Jane swatted at his arm with a frown. “Well it’s true! No one’s ever wanted me to even be seen with them in public before you agreed to go with me to cotillion, Jane.” The two girls made noises of sympathy, and Carlos waved them off with a scowl. “Stop that, ugh. Look, no one is flirting with me, no one actually wants me to wear their jersey, I’m pretty sure this is all some elaborate prank that I’m the butt of, because no one wants to date me. Okay?” His tone was sour, and he turned to slump against the rail as Audrey and Jane exchanged a look.

“Carlos…I know we tease you, but you have to know that you’re attractive. I mean, I had a crush on you, didn’t I?” Jane’s words were soft spoken, and Carlos glanced at the girl before giving a soft sigh.

“I don’t know why. I’m just…” he gestured to himself, and Audrey frowned.

“Just what, a total hottie? Apparently the guy all the bad boys want? Oh, my god, Carlos. They are literally fighting for your attention out there. Seriously. Turn your face around and actually look at the two idiots who are trying to get your attention.” Carlos let Audrey turn him, taking in how though the team appeared to be doing suicide drills (something Carlos 100% did not miss) Jay and Harry seemed to be in some sort of competition with each other, the two occasionally glancing towards the bleachers to see if Carlos was paying attention. Carlos wrinkled his nose, tilting his head slightly as Harry attempted to trip Jay, the ex-thief jumping over the extended foot and flipping the other off.

“Maybe they’re trying to impress one of you.” He offered, eyes following as the two continued their run, the rest of the team trailing behind some, before returning his attention to the girls. “Maybe they’re trying to impress…hum. Ben.” Audrey snorted, giving him a delicate shove as the Coach blew his whistle, calling the team in.

“Oh, they’re coming over here.” Jane grinned as Carlos glanced back towards the two, brow furrowed as they made their way over.

“Hey, C! You guys not doing cheer practice today?” Jay barely spared a look at either girl, leaning against the railing that separated the bleachers from the players benches.

“No, there was a bake sale interference so I’m just going to run some laps while I wait for you today. Hi, Harry.” Harry grinned, half draping himself over Jay as his gaze focused in on the jersey still in Carlos’ hands.

“Carlos. Gil said he gave you my jersey and you said you’d think about wearing it.” Carlos gave a small nod, and Harry leant forward some, grin widening. “Have you thought about it? It would make me very happy to have you cheering for me during the game.” Jay scowled, reaching to snatch the jersey from Carlos’ hands to shove back at the ex-pirate angrily.

“It he wears anyone’s jersey it’ll be mine, right C?” Carlos gaped at the two, and Jay turned back to look at him, a worried look on his face. “Carlos? You wouldn’t wear his jersey over mine, right? He’s been nothing but a jerk to you our whole lives!” Beside Carlos, Jane frowned, shifting awkwardly as she raised her hand to catch their attention.

“From what I’ve been told, you also were a jerk to Carlos for a long time. You changed, whose to say Harry can’t?” She recoiled slightly at the dark look Jay sent her, and squeaked outright when Harry clapped a hand on her arm, positively glowing at her comment.

“Yeah, Jay! You changed, who says I can’t change? I never stole his books, unlike someone.” Jay scowled, reaching to give Harry a shove before turning pleading eyes to Carlos, who simply stood between the two girls, head tilted curiously.

“I didn’t really know you then, that’s not fair. He use to try to push you under the barges when they came in! I always made sure you got onto them!” Carlos hummed, and Harry balked slightly at the accusation.

“Better than what Uma wanted me to do to him! I was protecting him best I could without raising suspicions!” The girls exchanged a concerned look as Harry shoved Jay back, the long haired teen growling as he raised a fist. Carlos leant over the rail, a frown darkening his expression as he grasped Jay’s fist in on hand, Harry’s shoulder in the other to prevent a full fledged fight from breaking out.

“Stop it. I’m not worth getting suspended from the team due to fighting over, idiots.” The words were spoken nearly whisper soft, and Jay dropped his hand immediately, ashamed of his actions. Harry let the tension leave his shoulders, biting his lower lip a moment before glancing towards where Ben stood, looking ready to intervene.

“I do like you, Carlos. You’re smart, and cute, and feisty. But-” he hesitated, wrinkling his nose slightly as though the words physically hurt him to say, “- I know that I can’t force you to do something you don’t want to do. Ben’s been very…adamant about that particular rule. And personal space.” He shrugged, taking a small step back from Jay, giving them both space without really moving away from Carlos. “I would like you to wear my jersey but I understand if you don’t want to. But I would like to try to be mates…if that’s agreeable. Until you’re comfortable with me, and might consider being together with me.” Jay glanced from Harry to Carlos, who had flushed slightly under the attention.

“And it’s not fair of me to just assume you’ll cheer me on, C. But I’d really like it if you did. I like you, I thought we had something but…was I wrong?” Carlos’ stomach dropped at the downtrodden expression on his best friends face, and he shifted awkwardly, unsure what to do.

“I…I don’t know what to do here. No one has ever shown an interest in me before? I…of course we have something Jay, you’re my best friend. And you’re incredibly attractive, like you don’t know that jerk.” He offered a shy smile as an idea came to him. “Couldn’t I cheer both of you on for this game? I was going to be cheering you on anyways, Jay, but Harry did ask me…” the two older teens exchanged a wordless look, silent for a long minute before both nodded, serious looks on their faces.

“That seems fair, and really the two of you can’t expect him to just pick one of you suddenly, the boy didn’t even know he had options until Jane and I pointed it out. So maybe give him a chance to figure it out?” Audrey’s tone was almost bored as she slung her pink and blue duffle over her shoulder, brow raised as she gestured for Jane to get her own bag. “Also, come on Carlos, we’ll go into the gymnasium and practice vaults, you’re clearly too much of a distraction for these two since Coach is coming over here now.” All eyes turned to where the coach was stalking across the field, and Jay chuckled nervously.

“Seems fair. I’ll come get you in the gym to go to Tiana’s after then?” Carlos nodded, and as the boys turned to head back out onto the field, the three remaining teens heard Harry hiss ‘you’re taking him on a date today? That’s cheating!’. Jane giggled, linking her arm with Carlos as the trio started towards the gym. Carlos paused halfway, letting out a loud groan as the two girls gave him a questioning look.

“Now I have to figure out how to wear both shirts!”
