How to write a bilingual character

Plenty of characters across fandoms are multilingual. This is for those writers who feel like writing König, Nikto and whoever else. As polyglots ourselves, @sarapaprikas-blog and I figured this could be helpful for writing English-German or English-Russian bilinguals.

At the beginning we need to point out that writing bilinguals is not just a question of adding a few words from different languages but about a deeper understandings of language. So be warned, a lot is about grammar. fun grammar. frammar!

English-German Bilingual

Continental German speakers tend to be taught British English in school meaning often this is the basis of English knowledge and pronunciation. However, a lot of Internet slang with American English and AAVE mixes in, with most speakers not being aware of it. So mixing that up in your writing is one way to show the contemporary English-German bilingual (who possibly hangs out online too much).

Further, English and German share a lot of structural similarities as both are part of the Germanic language group. However, one key difference is sentence structure. English tends to go 1. Subject, 2. Predicate, 3. Object with indicators of time and space coming before or after that construct. German syntax is more flexible (or complicated if you will). Which is why the regular German speaker just nods wisely reading this, while the regular English speaker has no idea about grammar and is googling English syntax right about now. Fluent speakers of that combo tend to build really complicated and possibly wrong sentences in English which feel off but are understandable. Less fluent speakers will stick to the most basic syntax (with a lot of uhhhms and ahhhs in between).

This habit of being extra also shows up in the use of tenses. Both German and English have a wide variety of tenses and time forms to express who will or had done what or is about to do in the future or past or was planning to do or whatever. You get it. Spoken German does that a lot. British English does a bit less of it. And American English tends to be even less so in spoken form. The English-German could be written as that person who builds really complicated (and possibly unnecessarily and precise) tenses into their expressions. Basically think of a character who tries to express a very precise order of events instead of just saying "I took a shit".

Speaking of shit, German has more curses than “Scheiße”. Get creative, sarcastic and mean. Use backhanded compliments and wordplay to mirror German curses like “Backpfeifengesicht” (= A face that looks like it needs to be slapped), “Geringverdiener” (= highly ironic, someone who has a supposed low-paying job), NPC (= non-playable character), “Hund” (= dog, mutt), …

As German and English share not just grammar but also a history of cultural exchange and a lot of Germans moving to the US in the beginning of the 20th century, there is a lot of shared or similar vocabulary. E.g. the word house in English corresponds with the German Haus. So do all these words. Saying a word with German pronunciation that is very similar to the English one, can slip into the bilinguals expressions very easily. This works the other way around as well. Also, some expressions made it from German into English so a bilingual might opt to pronounce e.g. "Gesundheit" in German while speaking English.

Speaking of similarities, Yiddish and Pennnsylvania-Dutch, while being languages on their own, are very similar to German so a bilingual German might opt to pronounce words from those languages at least "more correctly" that the regular English speaker could do without practice. Those languages are also somewhat understandable to German speakers. So your bilingual character can hold a short and somewhat minimal but working conversation with someone speaking Yiddish or Pennsylvania-Dutch. It might also include a lot of desperate hand gestures and slowly repeating words tho. They are still different languages after all.

In regards to pronunciation. There is no TH in German so plenty of late learners have a hard time with that. Yes, that's where the "zhe" instead of "the" comes from. If your bilingual learned both languages from a young age they will not have difficulty pronouncing TH unless they switch between languages quickly or are stressed & tired.

German is famous for having super long and precise words. Let me tell you a secret: It's not really true. German just allows compounding of words, meaning to put words together to create more precise ones. Plenty of languages do that, including English. Just maybe not as much. A bilingual might opt for using the German compounding system as it is very flexible and can create precise and expressive words on the fly. Your English-German bilingual might then attempt translating this one word into English for possibly hours without ever having a satisfying solution.

Lastly, German speakers don't just come from Germany. The German Sprachraum is bigger than that. And while it might not impact speech patterns that much, it's culturally tactful to know the differences between German-speaking identities one writes about.

English-German bilingual characters can come in a wide variety. And some might speak very basic English. But plenty of English-German speakers are fluent in English. Their mistakes don't come from a lack of English knowledge but from a clash between two similar language systems. To write a fluent bilingual means not to just add "Ja" and "Nein" while making their expressions poorer but on the contrary having an over expressive character with language flaws and quirks.

English-Russian Bilingual

Thanks to Hollywood there is a certain cliche accent for English-Russian bilinguals we dubbed the shitty Russian accent. And while obviously it’s possible that someone out there speaks like that, most fluent English-Russian bilinguals don’t sound like their offensively orientalised depictions. English has been taught very regularly in Russia or generally Eastern European schools along with other languages for decades. Plenty of native Russian speaking people live abroad for a while or migrate, giving them a lot of speaking practice. And of course Russian speakers have access to English speaking media, so they practice a lot by just watching youtube or whatever. The shitty Russian accent is something to be avoided or requires serious legitimization in character design before it’s use as most English-Russian Bilinguals that are fluent enough to be active characters in someone's English writing would not sound like that.

It's also important to point out that plenty of characters get labeled as “Russian” but there are a lot more languages, cultures and identities that are not Russian, do not consider themselves as such or do not natively speak Russian. It's also important that those who speak Russian or hold Russian nationality can have much more complicated identities. This is especially important as the blond, blue-eyed ethnically Russian archetype is part of an old stereotype which excludes plenty of the Russian minorities, or pressures people into a harmful white/slavic stereotype. Please be mindful of that when doing character design.

Similar to continental German-speakers, most Russian speakers tend to learn British English in school with huge influences from American English and AAVE coming through English speaking media and ✨the Internet✨. And just like English-German bilinguals, plenty of English-Russian bilinguals may not always be aware of the differences and use.

Russian and English are not as closely related as German and English because unlike the indo-germanic English, Russian is a indo-Slavic language. That means less shared vocabulary and grammar. However, plenty of vocabulary made it into Russian from both English and German as there is a history of linguistic and cultural exchange. This is especially the case with technical and professional vocabulary. Your bilingual character could choose corresponding English, German or even Latin academic vocab pronouncing it Russian depending on their profession and walk of life, as those tend to be the areas of expertise people have extra knowledge in. (Ever heard of an Awtomobil?)

Russian is a highly flexing (💪😏) language meaning it relies heavily on the inflection of verbs to communicate. As such, it is much less restrained in its syntax than English and it is entirely possible to build a sentence out of one verb (fuck yeah, peak minimalism). But what sounds very elegant and pointed in Russian, translates extremely poorly into English (;_;). Hence, less fluent English-Russian bilinguals will likely build very short somewhat stilted sentences in English: ‘I am hungry. You make food. I Love you.’. And while more fluent speakers will compensate due to practice and the difference vanishes, Russian could still be your character's preferred language due to its elegant and quick phrasing attributes. It’s like with the Latin veni, vidi, vici - its translations only do it half justice.

Speaking of verbs - as Russian relies on a number of verbs to communicate active, passive, finished, unfinished, tense and even gender of the corresponding nouns, a bilingual English-Russian speaker might struggle expressing the same thing with the English less grammatically loaded verbs or at least stress the importance of the verb. Imagine what it feels like to express yourself in English just saying “do”, “go” or “make” when those words tend to have 10+ other verbs saying variations of the same thing in Russian depending on the context, massively changing its meaning if you choose the wrong one. Suddenly you are not walking home, you are having a whole adventure! Naturally, putting emphasis on the right verb could be a telltale sign of your English-Russian bilingual character.

Adjacent to that - Russian differs in its use of auxiliary verbs. Making mistakes with be, do and have or just forgetting to add them when combined with other verbs could be a tell on a practicing bilingual character. (hurray, another note on verbs! It’s as if verbs in Russian are really important, huh?)

Another aspect that could influence your character's speech pattern is the Russian mode of negation. In Russian to say you are not doing something, works with the pattern of NO + VERB instead of the English DO + NOT (also known as do not / don’t). That means to say ‘i do not understand this grammar thing’ as a totally hypothetical bilingual character could go as ‘I not understand this grammar thing’. As you can see the ‘not’ is just put before the verb, making it sound odd. Combined with difficulty with the auxiliary verbs, it’s a classic mistake a bilingual character could make.

Enough about verbs and grammar. Famously, Russian pronunciation uses a bunch of sounds that are unusual for English speakers. Most importantly it’s the trilled R, similar to the Spanish trilled R, which can sneak into your character's pronunciation and is hard to lose. So if your character learned English later in life, they will likely have at least some version of the trilled R while a bilingual who spoke both languages from an early age will be able to switch between both Rs (and maybe sneer at everyone who can’t do both. ha, peasants. can’t even do two R sounds.)

Russian is not written with the same alphabet as English. Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet unlike English, which uses a Latin-script. And while some letters look similar, they tend not to correspond. However, the uninitiated may not know the difference and try to read (and fail). Stories with bilingual characters or surroundings can use that for storytelling purposes. Also, one thing is to learn to speak a language but another is to read and write it, especially with the added difficulty of a new alphabet. Written cursive Russian has another feature, which makes it harder for the unpracticed to read it quickly - while looking very pretty it looks potentially like this.

Just like with the English-German bilingual, there is a wide variety of possibilities on how to create an English-Russian bilingual character. If you need help understanding what the Term Russian included, read here.

Eyes Like The Ocean

Pt 2

Pairing: Chris x Reader

Summery: Just a girl on vacation at her beach house who meets a boy on the beach, what happens when she has to go back home.

Warnings: cussing, mentions of loss of a parent (briefly talked about)

Breespeaks: new series!! Eyes Like The Ocean. I hope y’all enjoy and I promise you guys this will be so much better then you’ll never understand, keep in mind, You’ll never understand was my first work ever.. lol anyways! Enjoy:)

I quickly made my way out of the cafe, and making a beeline to my car just wanting to get home already.

I’ve been working for the past 9 hours, and I just wanna take a shower and crawl in bed. Today’s already started off shitty when I was called into work on my day off.

Somehow in the first two hours of being at work I ended up spilling coffee all over me, I also had a middle aged man throw a whole drink all over my outfit.

All because there were no seats left and I wouldn’t tell people to move. Shame on me I guess.

I drove the 10 minute drive from work to my home, well Apartment. As soon as I got into my house I went straight to my closet grabbing a sweatshirt and some shorts.

I took a two hour long shower, I didn’t even notice the coffee all in the tips of my hair until I started taking off my clothes. It was an everything shower type of day.

As soon as I got out of the shower I went straight to my couch and turned on Bambi, my favorite movie.

I’ve been living in New Jersey since I was 8, I moved here from Boston Massachusetts. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss Boston, but New Jersey is also where my family is and I don’t know what id do without my sister and her husband.

My sister is 5 years older than me, She’s 23 with a husband and a nice house. If I look up to anyone it’s her, she has her life together more than our mother ever did.

Every spring we go to Cape Cod, we have a cute little family home down near the beach. Last year we didn’t get to go because Allies husband was sick.

We plan on going in two days, and if everything checks out we will be there. And let’s just say I’m beyond excited, I miss it there.

I was scrolling through TikTok when I got a FaceTime call from my sister, “hey Allie!” I said with a smile as I paused the movie. “Hey, I was just calling to make sure you’re still down to go” she said smirking as if I’d ever decline the offer to spend a week in Cape Cod.

“Girl stop playing, you know that I’m always down” I said getting up and walking to the kitchen, setting my phone up so she could still see me as I grabbed chicken nuggets from the freezer.

“Yeah.. I’m sorry about last year, he got sick so randomly.” She said with a frown, “it’s okay, we’re going this year” I said with a shrug as I threw the chicken nuggets in the air fryer.

“Whoop whoop” I heard Gavin shout in the background.

I laughed and shook my head as I put my elbow on the counter and leaned on my hand. “How was work?, you look like you’ve had a long day” Gavin said with a small laugh.

“Dude! This guy threw a drink all over me because I wouldn’t tell other customers to move” I said groaning, “wow, remind me to never work in the food industry ever again” Allie said laughing. I laughed and shook my head.

“I wasn’t even supposed to go in today, but they said since I won’t be here Friday I should go in for someone else so they can take my shift on Friday” I said rolling my eyes.

We talked for 2 hours, and as soon as we got off the phone I started the movie over so I could listen to it as I clean and lock the house up.

I went to bed as soon as I got done with all the house work, I turned my fan on high and went straight to sleep.

I woke up very early going straight to my bathroom to brush my teeth and brush my hair, I looked into the mirror and smiled “One more day” I whispered.

I walked back into my room sighing, time to deep clean this room so I can come back to a clean room. Right after I spend an hour on TikTok, I thought with a smirk as I jumped on my bed.

I’ve been cleaning my room for the past two hours when I heard a knock on my door, I furrowed my eyebrows not expecting anyone to come over.

I walked to my door and opened it revealing a bag of Taco Bell with a note stuck to it. I picked it up and walked inside placing the bag on the counter and taking the note off to read it.

“Don’t forget to eat, and make sure you pack bathing suits, I really don’t feel like shopping for some as soon as we get there cause you forgot <3 Allie”

I laughed and shook my head, I ran into my room picking up my phone sending a quick thank you to her. I walked back into the kitchen and ate my Taco Bell because I’ve been up for 3 hours and still haven’t ate.

After I got done eating I went into my room to change, I changed into a sweatshirt and sweatpants as it’s always cold in my apartment.

I started to pack pretty early because it usually takes me over 2 hours to pack, I’m indecisive as fuck.

It indeed took me two hours and 56 minutes to pack, but I got it done and that’s all that matters. I honestly just wanna go to sleep now so I can hurry up and wake up in the morning.

We’re leaving at 6:30 in the morning because we have a 5 hour drive and we want to make it there before lunch.. before all the tourists get there.

I don’t have many friends. I only have one friend, Alyssa. She lives in the cape, So I only get to see her once a year and we FaceTime through the year. It’s hard but we make it work.

I put on some random movie on as I started to deep clean the living room.

I was about 30 minutes into cleaning when I found an old picture. More specifically, a picture of my dad. Tears immediately sprung to my eyes, my dad was my best friend and the only reason why our family stayed together.

He was the best dad around for as long as he could be, he passed away when I was 16. Luckily my sister was already moved out so I was able to just go live with her instead having to get a hold of my mother.

I sighed and wiped my eyes, standing up and walking over to my mirror in the hallway and putting it with all my other pictures that littered my mirror.

I continued to clean the living room for another hour and a half. I finally finished, the only reason why it took me so long was because the kitchen is connected to the living room so I also cleaned the kitchen.

I took a shower and did my nightly routine before putting all of the stuff that I use in my bookbag, besides my toothbrush and hairbrush. I laid in bed for like an hour before actually drifting off.

I got rudely woken up by someone shaking me, I gasped and jumped back. I opened my eyes wide to look at my intruder, just seeing my sister.

I groaned loudly and threw my pillow at her face, “you bitch” I said rubbing my eyes sighing.

“Always sleep with one eye open baby sis, I don’t understand how you still get scared when you know I have a key” she said shaking her head. “Well usually you don’t come in here shaking me like a damn earthquake” I said glaring at her.

“Girl, put a smile on your face. We’re going to the cape!! Oh by the way Gavin has already taken your shit to the car” she said with a laugh, “Allie!! I needed to put my toothbrush in my bookbag” I said throwing my head back.

“Stop yapping and get ready, I wanna leave” she said dragging out leave. I roll my eyes and get off the bed as Allie left, probably to rummage through my snacks.

I go to my closet changing into a pair of sweat shorts, and a cropped baby pink tank top. I went to the bathroom and brushed my hair and teeth, bringing both brushes and my toothpaste out into the living room.

As soon as I walk in the living room I see Gavin and Allie sitting on my couch talking, I coughed showing that I was there. Gavin whipped his head around and jumped up running over towards me, he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and spinning me around.

We all busted out laughing as he placed me back to the ground. “Dude your gonna give me a headache and I haven’t even been around you for more then 10 seconds” I said with a laugh.

“Hey! That’s very rude.” He said pouting, “boohoo, can you hold this” I said as I pushed what was in my hands to his chest which he grabbed.

I turned around immediately and started walking to my room, “what the fuck am I supposed to do with this Y/n?!” he said with raised eyebrows. I just shrugged and flipped him off over my shoulder.

“Go put it in the car Gavin” Allie said with a laugh, I turned around and pointed at her “ding ding ding” I said with a smirk.

I turn back around and walk through my door, walking back into my closet I grabbed a pair of socks and my white Nike platform tennis shoes.

We made our way to the car after locking up my apartment and grabbing the things I didn’t pack before because they were still in use.

When we got to the car I hopped into the back groaning and jumping back out. “What?” Allie asked as she climbed into the drivers seat, “I forgot my blanket” I said as I turned around running up the stairs back to my apartment.

I got my blanket and even brought a pillow because it’s a 5 hour drive and I’m hoping to get some sleep.

We were an hour into the drive when Allie and Gavin wanted to switch because Allie didn’t feel like driving anymore, I’m assuming, I don’t really know because I have my headphones on blaring some old lil skies.

We made it to the beach right at 11:40. I yawned and rubbed my eyes, “get up loser, we home” Allie said from the front. “Bitch I’m awake” I said shaking my head with a laugh, “yea bitch she’s awake” Gavin said from the trunk making me and Allie whip our heads around.

“Gavin!” Me and Allie both said at the same time which made us all fall over laughing.

I opened my door with a big smile and breathing in the salty air with closed eyes. “Oh how I’ve missed you” I whispered, “oh hell nah, don’t you start that shit” Gavin said shaking his head and moving his finger side to side as to say no.

“Dude shut up, I’m talking to my favorite place” I said as I held up a hand towards him. I turned and looked at the beautiful beige, one story house, my smile only growing.

“Allie! Gimme the keys.. right now!” I said turning to her, she tossed them to me and I made a bee line to the door only stopping to get my bags from Gavin, I’ll get my stuff from the car later.

I ran my fingers along side of the fingers as I walked towards my room. I walked into my room seeing everything was exactly how i left it.

I opened the balcony door that was in my room and stepped out, the weather is so nice, probably like 85 degrees.

I was just looking out at the ocean from the balcony, I never wanna leave this place.

I felt hands on my shoulders which made me jump and gasp turning around quick, seeing Allie. “If you don’t stop fucking scaring me” I said rolling my eyes.

“My bad, I just wanted to see if you wanted to go down to the beach with me. Gavin said he didn’t want too because “he’s tired” but I really want too” she said holding her hands together like she was begging me.

“Girl bye, you had me at beach” I said smirking, she yelled out a loud “Yahooo” I punched her arm and pushed her inside. We were laughing so hard that Gavin came in and looked at us like he just saw a ghost which made us laugh harder.

Allie left my room so I could change, I changed into a cute blue floral bikini that showed my little sun tattoo just on my hip. I threw my phone on the bed as I walked out of my room.

We walked down the cute flower trail we have in the backyard leading to the beach.

We made it to the beach with huge smiles, it wasn’t that crowded at all, our favorite. We looked at each other and smirked “Last one in has to pay for dinner” I said as I dashed towards the ocean. “Your cheating?!” Allie said running after me, I just laughed as I jumped in.

I came back up and looked around me to find Allie, I couldn’t find her anywhere until I felt arms around my shoulder as I was getting flung back under the water. I came back up laughing and looking at her “you bitch” I said shaking my head.

“That’s your favorite word today huh?” She said laughing, I just shrugged “maybe” I said with a smirk. She just laughed and shook her head.

I sighed and looked around trying to see if I could see any familiar faces. I ended up locking eyes with a boy who looked around my age, he had the prettiest eyes, he has eyes like the ocean that’s for sure.

He smirked and waved, my cheeks went rosy as a small smile spread across my face, he looked away a few seconds later. I hope I see more of him.

“Y/n!” Allie whispered as she pushed my shoulder, “what?” I asked as I turned around. “That dude was totally checking you out” she said as she nodded her head in his direction, “no, he was just being polite, I was looking first” I said shrugging.

“Bro.. catch a dick or something” she said smirking, I gasped “Allie!!” I said pushing her under the water. She came up laughing, “live a little, you’re only 19” she said smiling. This trip is gonna be so much fun.

Literally god bless the actors who see the fans/fandom shipping and headcanon-ing their character in a queer way, and wholeheartedly dive right in to just go with it

Either explicitly stating that they know their character is in queer ships and giving it the enthusiastic go ahead, or even just giving a happy little nod to how fandom is treating their character

From the top of my head I know that actors like Noshir Dalal (Charles Smith, RDR2), Nick Martineau (Horangi, CoD) and Andrew Bowen (Johnny Cage, MK1) are encouraging about their characters and how fandom perceives them, specifically about the queer ships they're in, and it makes me happy to no end to see it. And I'm seeing it more and more these days!!

It fills me with such JOY to see actors have genuine interactions with fandom and love what we do, as much as we love them ❤️

(In no way do I mean or condone this as a 'omg X actor knows we put their character in gay ships therefore it is canon/okay to do or say whatever we want to them'. Respect is paramount. Actors don't owe you anything. You still have to treat people with courtesy and respect their boundaries. Being online doesn't make you anonymous, don't push that line.)

I know, logically, König would probably have buzzed or extremely short hair given his job, but part of me likes to imagine he's got long hair under that hood.

The silence between the two was loud

matt looked her in the eyes analyzing evey breath the girl took

“i just got out of a relationship”

“I know” the girl sighed

“Your still my bestfriend”

“I know I just kinda wished you felt the same.”

“I wish I did too.”

6 months later

The two were on their last night in cape cod,

They walked along the beach talking.

“hey”

The girl looked up the the smiling boy

“I love you a lot.”

she laughed it off as the boys smile turned

“really.”

“Really?” She said

He nodded.

“matt my feelings for you have passed.”

“yeah i know”

“I didn’t wanna wait for someone who didn’t know when they would be ready Matt.”

“I’m sorry”

Her words echoed through his head.

she broke the eye contact to look at the waves

he just sighed

“ I’ll wait for you.” he said

a single breath escaped her lips

she looked at him and just smiled wishing the pain of breaking his heart would go away.

Eyes Like The Ocean pt 2

Pt 1

Pairing: Chris Sturniolo x Reader

Summery: Just a girl on vacation at her beach house who meets a boy on the beach, what happens when she has to go back home.

Warnings: cussing, alcohol !

We ended up on the beach for over 2 hours just messing around until we finally decided to go inside and get ready for dinner.

Sadly I didn’t see much of pretty boy since the small interaction, but we’re here for a week.

I was trying to pick out an outfit when Allie came in my room and laid on my bed. “I think you should pick that” she said pointing at a pink summer dress , “with your pink converse” she continued as she pointed at them.

“Ugh you’re so right” i said as I grabbed them and a pair of socks, “I’m gonna go take a shower ” I said as I walked into the bathroom. I looked into the mirror and smiled, the overwhelming feeling of wanting to move into this house and forgot about my apartment in New Jersey is strong.

I walked out of the bathroom freshly out of the shower with wet hair, seeing Gavin and Allie in my room sitting on the couch in front of my bed.

I sighed and shook my head, “why are y’all in my room” I said as I crossed my arms. “We were bored and we was waiting for you, you take a very long time by the way” Gavin said rolling his eyes.

“Dude I was in there for 30 minutes” I said with a laugh and walking over to my dresser, “and plus I’m still not done” I laughed. Gavin groaned and walked out of my room, while me and Allie looked at each other and laughed.

“Men, am I right?” Allie laughed while she got up and walked over to my bed and laid down.

“Yea.. men” I said sighing, “are you thinking of that boy you made eye contact with for a mere second?” She said with raised eyebrows.

“No?.. yes..” I said as I pulled out my blow dryer, “he was cute” I sighed as I looked at her through the mirror that’s sitting on my dresser.

“You should’ve talked to him, what if you never see him again??” Allie laughed as she sat up, I gasped and whipped around to face her. “Don’t say that shit, I will.. hopefully” I groaned and turned around right as I was getting a call.

I grabbed my phone quickly hoping it was Alyssa, It indeed was Alyssa. I answered immediately, “hey Lyss!” I said with a big smile. “Hey girl, I’m just calling to make sure you got here safe.. you never answered” she said with a laugh, “oh my god.. I’m so sorry, we got here and immediately went to the beach” I said with a laugh.

“So you made it!?” She yelled as she started jumping up and down, “yes, I can’t wait to see you dude! It’s been too long” I said sighing as I putting the phone down on my dresser. “Hey Allie!!” She yelled through the phone.

Allie smirked while she waved her hand fast, we all started laughing. Allie never fails to make anyone laugh.

“You should definitely come to the bon fire tonight” Alyssa said with a smirk, “why do I know nothing about this?” I asked as I waved to Allie who was currently walking out of my room.

“I don’t know, it’s something the locals do every year” she said shrugging, “I’m down, you gonna come get me or what?” I said with a smirk.

“Yea I’ll come get you around 9, but I gotta go my pasta is about done” she said with a smile. We said our byes, and as soon as we hung up I started blow drying my hair so I can be ready by 5.

We were on our way to the restaurant, when Allie stuck her head out of the sun roof. I took a video of her and immediately posted it to my instagram story.

All the windows were down and ‘nightcrawler’ was blasting through the speakers, this is my kind of life. I really need to move back down here some day, this is truly my happy place.

When we got to the restaurant, we walked in the restaurant seeing that it was full of people. Not our go to but it’ll work because this place has the best crab legs around.

The waiter walked us to our table and luckily we were in the back corner, I sat on the outside of the booth while Allie sat in the inside across from Gavin.

“You okay?” Allie whispered tapping my arm, I had my arm up and I was biting on my finger nails.

“No, yea, I’m fine” I said removing my hand and smiling, “I was just thinking” I said as I grabbed a menu looking at the desserts just to keep my eyes from roaming around.

The waiter came back with our drinks, she’s literally so sweet. She complimented my dress, i was tempted to ask her for her number simply because I need more friends.

After she got our orders she walked away, to go do what waiters do. Gavin and Allie were in their own little conversation.

“I’m going to the restroom” I said as I got up and started walking to the bathroom, as I was walking to the bathroom someone came out of the mens bathroom.

I looked up hearing the door open, catching eyes with the familiar blue eyes. My eyes widened slightly as he smirked and whispered a quiet “hey” as he passed me.

I guess the cape is smaller than I thought. I did my business and walked back to our table to see our food was already there. The wait here was surprisingly short considering how packed they are.

We ate our food and had good conversations, we were only here for about an hour and a half. We paid and left a big tip because the service here is always great.

As we were walking out I was walking in front of Allie and Gavin, I was looking straight ahead when I saw pretty boy sitting at a table with who I’m assuming is his family. The two guys sitting on each side of him look awfully similar to him. He saw me and nudged the guy to his left and nodded towards me.

My eyes went wide and face turned rosy as I walked past them. Holy shit, he probably thinks I’m following him or something. He totally told that guy that I’m weird or something.

We got back to the house, and I went straight to my room and laying on my bed whipping my phone out to text Alyssa and telling her about pretty boy.

She just told me not to worry about it, and that he probably thought I was pretty. But then I told her about the guys sitting beside him.

Right after I told her she started to FaceTime me. I answered immediately, and said hey. “Hey, okay so I don’t know which one you’re talking about but I do know you’re talking about the triplets” she shrieked, “who’s that?” I mumbled confused.

“They come every summer, I’m surprised they’re here for spring break” she spoke with raised eyebrows, “anyways I’ve always had the biggest crush on one of them, I don’t know their names tho” she sighed.

“Maybe they’ll be there tonight?” I shrugged as I got up and walked over to my bag to get my lipgloss out of my makeup bag.

“Maybe, but they always got some girls following right behind them, so no shot am I getting a chance” she sighed as she applied her blush.

“Who knows, they might just be their friends” I giggled, “possibly, oh! Also ones gay and I heard that he’s super nice” she looked into the camera with a smile.

“Yeah.. I wish I was their friend.” I sighed and put my phone on the nightstand, “is this cute?” I backed up and did a spin hearing a “yes butch what the fuck?” Coming from my phone.

“Dude, Allie picked this out and she ate.” I laughed as I looked at the phone seeing her tying her shoes.

“Allie always got good style. Also be out in 10, I’m about to be on my way, bye love you!” She rushed as she hung up. Oh?

I sighed and walked out into the living room seeing Allie with a glass of wine and Gavin sitting next to her, they were watching some show.

“Hey, I’m about to leave” I whispered , they both looked at me “are you drinking?” Allie raised one eyebrow up making me laugh. “You know I don’t drink” I shook my head laughing.

“Yea but you literally never know when your with Alyssa, you know she drinks” she said nodding her head at me.

“Yeah, I know but I don’t mind when other people drink..” I frowned and pointed at her hand.

“Oh! I forgot about this” she laughed, “how are you getting home tho?” She said as she placed the drink on the table. “I’ll probably end up driving back here and she’ll probably stay the night” I shrugged as we heard a car honk.

I open the front door to see Alyssa standing there, I squealed and pulled her into a hug. “Do you mind if we walk? The beach is literally in your back yard” she smiled widely. I just nodded, “I can’t believe I’m fucking here dude” I screamed.

As we were walking down the beach we could see all the people at the bonfire, even tho we were at least 100 feet away.

“I’m getting smashed” Alyssa laughed, “you’re gonna have to meet my friends!” She yelled grabbing the attention of a few people as we were walking into the crowd. “Yeah, I do” I giggled as a few people were waving at Alyssa.

We walked to the drink table someone who was nice enough to do so. I looked around the area as Alyssa was getting her drink, I felt eyes on me from behind me. I turned around looking for any lingering eyes, only catching a familiar blue eyed boy.

His usual ocean blue eyes looking darker in the dark night. My eyes slowly go down his body checking out his outfit, he was wearing a pair of camouflage pants and a black shirt. He looked good.

I got nudged out of my thoughts by Alyssa, “is that the one you were talking about?” She whispered.

I turned to her swiftly and nodded, “he’s so cute” I sighed and continued “where are your friends?” I asked smiling. She smirked and interlocked our arm, “right this way” she moved towards the boy I was just looking at.

“Woah where we going” I whisper yelled, “my friends” she shrugged. Well I wasn’t nervous on meeting her friends but if her friends are near this boy I’m gonna be nervous.

I was right her friends are right next to him, you might as well count him in her friend group.

Alyssa was talking to her friends after she introduced us all, her friends seem nice but my mind was going crazy with this boy standing only a few inches behind me and I still didn’t know his name.

I was focused on the random song playing when I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around to look at who ever tapped me. My stomach churned. “Hey!” He smiled, “hi” I smiled with rosy cheeks.

“I’ve been seeing you everywhere” he smirked, “yeah, I’m sorry” I winced.

“Why are you apologizing?” He raised an eyebrow, I shrugged and before I could start talking he continued. “Oh! My names Chris by the way” he smiled as he put his hand out, “Y/n” i put my hand into his as I looked into his eyes with a small smile.

“Pretty name for a very pretty girl” he smiled, “why haven’t I seen you here before?” He asked dropping his hand but stepping a bit closer.

“I come here every spring, I missed last spring tho” I shrugged, “that’s probably why, we mainly come down in the summer. Might have to start coming in the spring tho” he smirked letting his eyes travel my body.

I blushed with a laugh, “You from Massachusetts?” I asked taking a step closer. “Yeah, Boston, you?” He brought his drink up to his mouth but his eyes never leaving mine.

“I was born here, but we moved to New Jersey” I sighed, he creased his eyebrows “you don’t like it?”.

“No I love it, I just miss it here” I sighed, “what part-”he started before a shriek interrupted him making his eyes widen and look behind me. I whipped my head around seeing Alyssa run towards us.

She wrapped her arms around me and whispered yelled “I didn’t think you’d actually talk to him” she gasped, my face went rosy as I looked down to my feet. “Hey Alyssa” he laughed, she immediately looked up to him.

“Your brother is so hot, give him my number please” she let go of me, “oh, Matt?” He asked as I turned around to leave so they can do their own thing.

I felt a hand wrap around my wrist and pull me back around and up next to them, I looked up seeing chris who was still talking to Alyssa. I was right in front of him, he grabbed my hand then spin me around so I was facing Alyssa and not him.

Alyssa looked at me and smirked as she handed chris her phone so he could put in Matt’s number.

“Okayyy, I think it’s time for us to go” I sighed turning around to face chris who frowned at me, “girl we just got here?” Alyssa said pulling on my shoulder so I’d face her.

I sighed as I pulled my phone out, we’ve been here for a little over an hour. “I’m tired, you can stay but I don’t feel comfortable leaving you here by yourself” I sighed once again but my eyes widen a bit when I feel a hand on my lower back.

I turned my head slightly to look at chris who was talking to someone else but had a small smirk on his face as he saw me from the corner of his eyes.

“I’m not alone, I have my friends. I’ll be fine, and I’ll come up to your balcony so I don’t wake anyone up” she smiled as she turned around and left.

I turned back around to face chris who was still in conversation with this girl. Alyssa was right, they do always have a girl with them. I waited patiently to tell him that I was leaving.

She left and chris turned back around to me. “‘M sorry, that was my friend madi” he smiled down at me, we were practically touching from how close we were.

“That’s fine, I just wanted to tell you that I’m leaving” I smiled, “let me walk you to your car?” He whispered. I sighed, “I didn’t take my car, I live right along the beach” I never broke eye contact. He laughed and shook his head as he started walking with my hand in his.

It was my turn to laugh, I laughed and started pulling him the opposite direction which made him laugh.

He walked me all the way to my balcony, the whole walk was filled with laughter. He’s literally the sweetest guy I’ve ever met.

“So.. can I get your number?” He looked down at me with a smirk, I nodded as I pulled out my phone and gave it to him. “Are you actually gonna text me sweetheart?” He whispered as he typed, “uh hell yea?” I smirked which he laughed and shook his head. We said goodnight and he left, I turned around and went inside smiling.

I took a shower and changed into a big sweatshirt and just a pair of underwear, I jumped into bed sighing and almost immediately falling asleep

Breespeaks: why tf are these sooooooo long, also most of y’all’s tags arnt working:(
