Ranking Nerdy Prudes Must Die songs

A/N: because I need something to post and I’ve been obsessed since the musical came out. Also merry Christmas and happy holidays!! Also PLEASE DONT HATE ME

Tw:some sexual mentions, cursing, lyrics might be wrong bc I’m going off the top of my head, mentions of murder etc

Wc: idk it’s headcanons so like 3 points for each song

Misc Masterlist

15)The Best of You

I just don’t listen to this as much as I listen to the other songs

Like it’s not bad

I just don’t really listen to it

It sounds like a high school musical song and the child in me loves it

14)If I Loved You

Idk y but the first time I watched this song made me uncomfy

Well not the whole song literally just the “don’t need lover boy need lover man” part even though Mariah KILLS it idk what it is about that part

But also their voices are immaculate

like Actually I love their voices so much

And the song itself is VERY good

Again I just don’t listen to it as often as the others

OH BABE ID LET YOU KNOW

PERIOD

I also really love the chaos that would be watching two people do this in a cafe

Like how they’re standing at the door like “you leave” “no you leave” actually funny.

13)Cool as I Think I Am(Reprise)

SADGE

I DONT LIKE SADGE

But also they again kill this Mariah and Joey are top tier

The whole “you’re not as cool as you think you are” “you’re as smart as I know you are”

To the “IF I LOVED YOU I WOULD SHOW IT”

IMMACULATE

Would be higher up if I listened to it more often but alas like the ones before this I just don’t listen to it enough.

12)Just For Once

Tbh this is only this high up because of the iconic parts that I listen to over and over

Like I think the only time I listened to the whole song was while watching the musical in its entirety

I literally only listen to VERY specific parts of this song

I’m gonna skip around some of the lyrics but y’all know the parts

The “I wasn’t upset about the attention I ensnared JUDGE ME”

“It fucking worked, I’m fucking here, he’s fucking her, I’m disappointed”

“Should I let the coals burn out? JUST FOR OOOOOOONCE” LAUREN LOPEZ IS A GODDESS PLS

“The other day the Johnson’s borrowed my tap shoes. I used to dance”

Like actually makes my heart clench

Like I’m 23 and this song makes me feel like it’s too late to do what I want because there’s all these things I used to do when I was younger and now I’m just….living but not really.

11)The Summoning

THE CHAOS

HELLO FWENDY-WENDS

Out OF THE DEPTHS OF HELL AND BACK

I LOVE THIS SONG

Stephanie yum yum

I love the lords in black (especially because they’re so colorful)

Also the beginning of this song is iconic

Literally their chanting and voices are so good.

Honestly if they remade this musical into a movie with all sorts of cgi I feel like this would be a VERY CHAOTIC PART

I love it

Also I think I just love when it’s a bunch of noise that allows me not to think

Which is what this song is when they’re singing the repetitive parts

And I know people hate the repetitive parts but I love them

Like so good

10)High School is Killing Me

Again don’t listen to this as much as I should

But I should mention that I listen to this at least once a day so we see how much I listen to the songs after this one

IM DEAD!!

I’m scared someone comes for ME I’m unprepared

Jon and Lauren sound so good here and I honestly think this was the perfect way to open a musical

Like yeah it’s a little spoiler but it’s so GOOD

It’s hell on earth you know? I’m tweeting all about it!

The way Angela covers her mouth every time they curse is funny

AND the part where they’re like “is god the one giving the test” and Angela (Grace) is in the middle with the light shining down on her is imagery I love

Like idk why people aren’t mentioning that she’s literally a Christian and is highlighted in that part.

Stephanie was up late last night and couldn’t study bc she was arguing about the homophobic dog

Also crypto?

Also I think this song perfectly embodies what it’s like to be in high school?

Like it was killing me and I swore that I wouldn’t miss it after I graduated, and that I would always hate high school and that idk how I survived it

But now as an adult I’m like damn while I hated going to school it was something about those days that I miss so much. And I only graduated 5 years ago.

09)Bully the Bully

BE COOL BEANS

Keep the beans cool

Bean school

Also I think we’re starting to show that I have a very special place in my heart for Angela

I love how she performs and portrays characters

Also the fact that they’re just singing about bullying the bully for all sorts of different reasons is funny to me

Petey gonna jump on out ✋😐🤚

Jäeger gonna Jäger out 🤘🤪🤘

Also actually was a funny plan that probably wouldn’t work irl but would be funny to watch on a school fight page

Also the fact that Max says that it’s the nicest thing anyone has done for him

08)Bury The Bully

Oh no 😥 she’s snapping again 😟

Please let this be a normal field trip

Give off same vibes

Also I love the layers in the song

Mariah does a good job

HACK ALL HIS LIMBS OFF (did you say hack all his limbs off?) YEAH!

Also very funny

Like Grace’s descent into madness is entertaining

RUTH IS GONNA CUT OFF HIS NIPS

Also shows how stupid they are because they literally could’ve said that it was an accident

It’s literally 5 of them

Just be like yeah we brought him here to scare him and his stupid ass decided to stand on top of some old ass wood and it cracked under him and he died.

But no listening to Grace they become criminals.

No one is gonna make Ruth their bitch

“Do you wanna get the fullest ride? Then start CUTTIN RIGHT ABOVE THE THIGH!”

07)Cool as I Think I Am

Song that shows up throughout the musical

Like it’s in almost every single song if you listen closely to the background

And honestly it’s so good

Because it makes me feel something inside

Like it plays as Richie dies

As Pete and Stephanie realize that she’s gonna have to kill him

At the very end in dirty dudes must die

It’s just an iconic song

Also Joey’s voice is AMAZING

“If I could finally break the rules I would know that IM NOT A LOSER”

Of HIS WORLD HE IS THE RULER

He’s as cool as she thinks he is and she’s as smart as he thinks she is

It’s so cute

Like it’s inspiring in a way

And it’s like he’s finding himself.

LOVE IT

OHHHHHHH SHUT UP-Max

06)Go Go NightHawks

ITS LIKE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL YEAH

AHH AHH 🦅🦅

FIGHT 🥊💥

Fuck YOU CLIVESDALE GO GET FUCKED

YOU FUCKING LOSERS

I literally just love this song and that’s why it’s high

Like literally no other reason other than this song gets me crunk

I wanna whoop clivesdales asses

Bitch ass hoes

Like I did not like my own school rallies this much

But I would love to aten one of these football games

05)Hatchet Town

He is Dan Reynolds with Action News

WHOS SWINGING THE HATCHET NOW?

I think her name is Bryce I am not sure

But the pretty woman who sings the slow part

So beautiful and her voice is literally out of this world

“I REMEMBER BEFORE THE LOCKDOWN THE SUN WAS SHINING ON OUT TOWN AND OUT KIDS COULD WALK THE STREETS”

Literally I was blown away when I heard this part

And I honestly just really like this song

Like it perfectly portrays how people act when anything happens

Like shifting the blame and causing hysteria when all you really need to do is be vigilant and listen to what the professionals are saying

But then also the people in charge don’t know what they’re doing so it’s like WTF do we do

“YEAH ITS GOT TO BE DONNA”

It’s a chaos song that depicts people properly

I feel like most of their songs depict people pretty well.

Like yeah it’s exaggerated but it’s accurate as well.

I also like dancing around to this song like I’m being sneaky and gossipy

“Someone’s got their hands on the hatchet handle” 🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♀️

04)Literal Monster

I LOVE THIS SONG

The only reason it’s not higher is because I listen to the other songs more

But OH MY GOD

everyone’s vocals immaculate

The dancing?

Amazing

Like actually literal monster is so good

“HE ROARS AND WE CRY HES THE REASON WE RUN AND HIDE”

Is her name Kim? I think this is Kim

I LOVE HER VOICE

Also everything about this song is just like YES this is how you do a musical

Also I think the guy who plays Max is named Will?

This is my first time ever hearing him sing and actually it’s so good

He’s the goofiest bully to exist like HUH

His little dancie dance is so funny

He’s like a Fortnite character

He doesn’t need anyone to tell him high school will be his peak

Also his obsession with Grace is so funny and comes out of nowhere.

And the fact that he hates nerds like her but somehow wants to smash even though there are more than enough people who are probably willing makes me think he genuinely likes her but would never admit it.

He’s a literal monster (lmao rip bozo)

03)Dirty Dudes Must Die

BROTHER

When I tell you I am obsessed

I mean I am literally listening to this song like a dozen times a day

And I sing it at the top of my lungs

I’m actually in love with this song

The only reason it’s not number one is that I like the vocals of the other songs better

“WHO WILL PRAY FOR YOU WHEN YOUR BODYS GONE? THIS IS THE CONSEQUENCE FOR WHAT YOUVE DONE”

Like YES

“ARE YOU HARD BC YOURE STRESSED?” (What?) “OR IS THIS A POWER I NOW POSESS?!”

Like yes girl use your haunted poosay to kill everyone YES

Like actually her arc is so good to me even though it’s like not what you’d expect/think would happen

Like you would be like oh Christian girl has sex and realizes that it’s not that bad and that she doesn’t have to be a radical religious person

But instead she’s like yeah okay I’m gonna use my new evil powers for GOD and now no one is gonna stop me

She goes from crazy to crazier and I love it

Angela is the love of my life

Like actually she makes me wanna act

And also be absolutely insane but that’s a different topic

Good song gets me hype.

02)Dirty Girl

YESSSJSJAKWOWKNSKWLA

I know this song makes people uncomfy

But I am a horny girl and this song literally gave me whiplash when I first watched like

GIRL ME TOO

Their vocals and just the song itself is so good

Like her struggle with staying true to her religion and herself but also now feeling lust and want for someone that she previously never would’ve thought about before

And it does prove that Max is right about Grace being kinky af because as we see her descent into madness the things that she’s into are things that I know Christian people would be horrified at

Like when they bring him to the Waylon house and he’s aggressive and she’s like OH YEAH THIS IS GOOD

This song is just like look at her try to deny what she’s feeling and look at her struggle with something that many other people religious or not struggle with and look at how badly she handles it

Like if her parents would’ve handled this better Max would not have died

She is hungry for more and now her judgement is all cloudy because of ONE BOY

Everything could’ve been avoided if she was raised to believe that lusting is okay, feeling those feelings is okay

You don’t have to act on them but LORD they aren’t something that is wrong to feel.

It just makes it worse when you try to suppress things

But alas she lives in a no moan household.

01)Nerdy Prudes Must Die

IM SO SORRY RICHIE BUT THIS SONG IS ICONIC

Literally the name of the musical

And rightfully the best song

Jon’s acting and voice is AMAZING

Will sounds amazing

Like actually I could not stop repeating the “will you pray for me, when I’m gone?” Part for WEEKS

Like I’m still singing it to myself

It’s so good

IM NOT A LOSER

Like brother how he just sings that part is like OH MY GOD

Like everything about this song is good

And the fact that Max is like Yeah I couldnt care less how you actively dismembered me and defiled my body(his nipples) and buried him in an abandoned old house.

Like everything about this song is also tragic

Because everyone is celebrating his disappearance

And at this point I feel like he has to have seen that they’re celebrating.

And he was so close to changing

We see that he’s an asshole because of his family life which is tragically the reality of a lot of bullies and hurt people in general

So to have him on the brink of maybe changing and then dying and being dismembered and buried in a place no one knows he’s buried in

Is so sad in a way

Like we don’t even get to see if he would have changed because he does

And when he comes back as a literal monster he’s hurt and angry and wants revenge on the people and people like the people that got him killed even if it was an accident.

This musical is genuinely so good UGH

Intro Post Time! Whoop!

My name is Jayden, nickname Jay, I’m 19yo, pronouns are she/her, and I’m a huge fan of Stranger Things, along with kpop and BL series! Other fun facts: I've hand-raised kittens before, I'm a huge hyperfixator, I'm kinda a singer (choir), I’m from the (mid)south so I say “y’all” way too much (as seen in my posts), my favorite music genres are alt-rock/pop and kpop, and I'm studying to be a math teacher! :)

I made this blog because I was sick and tired of Mike Wheeler hate and I wanted people to talk to about him and Stranger Things and Finn Wolfhard. I will reblog/post about other things, including Finn's other shows or kpop or BLs, every now and then, tho! Also, my asks are open, so pls ask away about any of these things (or whatever you want, I’m not picky)!

I have specific tags for each of these things mentioned: #Jay's talking ST <3 for ST related posts / #Jay's talking kpop :D for kpop related posts / #Jay's talking BL ;) for BL related posts! Then the tag #Jay's saying stuff :) is the one I use on all my original posts so I can search them up easier!

Mostly I just gush about Mike and how he's my child and done nothing wrong ever (/hj) but sometimes I get a little more in-depth so I figured I'd list those posts:

My amateur Mike Wheeler character analyses (only s1e1 done rn)

My Mike Wheeler playlist

"If Byler isn't endgame, Mike is awful" defense

ST Season 2

Why Henclair’s teasing of Mike about El in s1 makes me uncomfy

Mike in s2 (not an analysis, just a comment made while rewatching)

Mike’s trauma in s2 (analysis)

Mike in s4: 1 2 3 (also not analyses, just comments made while rewatching)

Mike & Will's trauma responses being opposite

Why I'm a multishipper (who prefers Byler)

My expectations for ST5

ST5 production/leaks/rumors opinions: 1 (ElMike BTS), 2 (Mike dying/getting lost rumors)

Rant about ST reactors (and their lack of Mike/Finn love)

Mike is lonely thread

Mike Needs A Hug but he’d rather give it to another

Mike deserves good relationships w/ Hop & Jon

Why the Troy and Angela Situations Should Not Be Compared (+ Why Mike's Reaction Is Valid)

↪ inspired by : angel ( lady & the tramp ii ) / nobara kugisaki ( jujutsu kaisen ) , happier than ever by billie eilish , katarina stratford ( 10 things i hate about you ) , nana osaki ( nana ) , tokyo love hotel by rina sawayama , haru ( beastars ) , angel by aerosmith

angela nunnelley. sophie thatcher. jan. 7th. capricorn. part - time @ aloha animal shelter. new england . bisexual. get free by lana del rey. girl, interrupted. barely finished middle school. sanguine. isfp. chaotic good. n/a. gryffindor. ☁️ 💫

present !!

dearest angela has been living a sort of double life , her very own hannah montana arc , except it is anything but exciting . she spends half the time putting up with brett and his goons and the other half spending all of her money on phone calls , looking for scott . sometimes she thinks about giving up on finding her friend , but the little voice in her head tells her not to . he wouldn't give up on her , so she might as well use whatever's left of her honor and keep looking . she's also working part - time at the aloha animal shelter , mainly as an excuse to spend less time around the junkyard dogs and feel like she's actually doing something good for herself . plus , the puppies and kitties are too cute to resist .

past !!

she's had more than a few shares of disappointment in life . after the loss of her mother at an early age and five different foster homes , the concept of belonging , of family became somewhat distant to angela . it was what she wanted most , and also the one thing that kept running away from her . eventually , she found something close to family ; a less than optimal one , the junkyard dogs . they were problematic , rough around the edges , definitely not on the right side of the track ( or the law ) , but she kept telling herself they were still people . except for brett --- sometimes she thinks he's the devil incarnate .

things changed for the better after she met scott . he was different , and that was just as great as it was terrible , especially for him . if angela wasn't busy worrying about herself , she was probably pulling her hair worrying about scott and what would become of him , especially once i'd become obvious that brett wasn't half as fond of the guy as she was . so when he disappeared , only for her to be given absolutely no clue as to what exactly had happened , the small blonde was forced to keep a straight face despite the fear and sadness in her heart . before she could start looking for her friend , the gang moved to elias and once again , angela had no choice but to follow along , but she wouldn't let that get in the way of finding scott .

future !!

i just want my girl to be okay and safe and happy :( i want her to truly find a family that respects her and treats her like a person , not ' brett's girl '. people who see how kind and loving but also badass and strong she is , and how she really has been through so much she could use a nap or two . also bring me scott . bring brett too . heck bring donicia bring everyone give me and angela all the people !

taken connections

none :) pls give

wanted connections

i'll update this tomorrow pls i need rest !

playlist ( coming soon ! )

Bobby doesn't forget any kids

Lmao, Eddie side-eyeing Buck when he talks about Lucy

Magic...yeah...that surely exists...

HORSIES!!!!!!!!!!

Why is this dress scene so funny? Awwwwww Lois is adorable.

Get her to her wedding! She can go to the hospital afterwards! Believe in love!

BOBBY!!!!!!! YOU'RE THE CUTEST ROMANTIC DAD EVER!!!!!!!!

Awwwwww this is such a fucking cute scene. I hope Lois and her boo will be very happy.

THE RING IS MEANT TO STAY ON MADDIE!!!!!!!

LMAO Buck shut up. Yup. Well done you dumb goof.

Hai Christopher!!!

Wooooooah. Christopher is so smart and talented and I love him and he needs to be protected forever. GRANDPA BOBBY TO THE RESCUE!!!! Also it is very canon that Bobby helps everyone with everything.

The two of them don't talk very often so this is an interesting dynamic to see.

Did you talk about your life partner Eddie Diaz and your son Christopher Diaz, Buck? Natalia makes me very uncomfortable. Yay! He got interrupted. Cameron has become my favourite person ever in this moment. Natalia is accurate in freaking out about all this. I appreciate that as a human response considering she gives me weird vibes.

Important:

If you think you are going to be eligible for the student loan cancellation and have made payments that got you under either the 10k or 20k forgiveness during the pandemic pause on payments, you can request a refund to try to take full advantage of this.

So, do it. I can imagine we all need it.

This is your reminder that if you are going to protect, do so safely.

So here are some basic rules of thumb coming from several years of protesting:

Don’t talk to the police

Write the phone number of whatever your local legal group is that is helping with the protest on your arm

Let someone know where you’re going

ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE GOING ALONE

Keep them up to date on when you get home

Have a plan to get home

Bring water, a face mask (we are still in a pandemic, and it’s good protection anyways), and a mini first aid kit if you have one

Do not wear your contacts, wear glasses. Much easier if things result in tear gas or other substances

Turn your finger print unlock off on your phone. Police can use that to get in, but they can’t make you give up your password

If you take pictures, keep them to yourself. Being identified is not always a good thing and can be really dangerous for a lot of people

Know who is organizing the event

Make a decision on where you draw the line for when to go home so that you don’t have to make that decision in the moment

These are just some basics. Feel free to add on, this is just what comes to mind right now. Stay safe, friends.

GOT A BOOK REC FOR MY ACES OUT THERE (especially my fellow white aces)

I heard about Refusing Compulsory Sexuality by Sherronda Brown from tiktok, not gonna lie, and I knew I had to read it. I just finished it, and I loved it.

It has a fantastic discussion of asexuality, racism, and sexism (especially the intersection thereof). Sherronda is a wonderful writer and does a great job exploring not only their experience but discussing the history of black people’s sexuality and aceness in a way that is educational and very interesting to read.

It also has a timeline about asexuality dating back to 1855 which I have never seen one that dates back that far before. The amount of research that must have taken floors me, and I love it.

They also sprinkle in really cool tidbits throughout the book that I’m not going to spoil except for my favorite one. Apparently, ace people are 2.4-2.5 times more likely to be left handed than the general population. (And I’m a left handed ace)

I’m hoping to buy myself a copy soon so I can mark it up like I did my copy of Ace by Angela Chen. I checked this out from the library.

So go see if your local library has a copy or if you can buy a copy!

My #1 post of 2022

Are you looking for a way to support the people protesting in Iran?

Zhina Amini (Reported as Mahsa Amini, her birth name) a Kurdish woman was killed earlier this month by the morality police in Iran for wearing a headscarf in what they deemed to be an improper manner. Protests have since broken out across the country and a number of other Iranians have been killed since.

The internet has been shut down in many places and deaths are incredible common. The last time the Iranian government shut down the internet like this, over a thousand people died.

So what can you do?

Share Iranian people’s words and news about what is going on.

Recognize that this is not about Islam but about a tyrannical government (so don’t use this as an excuse to be Islamophobic). These people need our support, not our commentary.

Help support Iranians gain access to proxies through apps like the Tor Project’s Project Snowflake. This will pair you, who is likely in a safer country (I say as someone in the US who assumes much of following is in North America or Europe), with an Iranian person trying to access the internet as long as you are online. This is a really simple step you can take to help Iranians connect to the outside world so they can use their voices and let loved ones know they are alive.

911 6x03! I'm so excited 😍

(spoilers under the cut)

I'm excited for the story and I love seeing baby Athena but also: that scene and dialogue when the dad came home was so cliché 😂😂

this is so sad and I can't wait to get the answers hah like, Samuel looks sus right now 👀 but at the same time... I'm hoping for Athena's sake he's innocent 😅

Samuel's looking more and more sus 👀👀 but also Junior's dad????👀 this is so exciting, I think I need to watch some crime shows because I am loving this storyline 😂😂

I feel so fucking bad for Athena 😩

and again, I just love Bobby and Athena's relationship, they're always so open and can talk to each other, which is probably such a low bar but I feel like we don't see it enough on TV hahah

they're talking to Joanne and I'm crying 😢 God, losing your little sister like this..... I don't even wanna imagine what that must feel like

ah, of course Tanya copied her older sister and snuck out too, that's what little sisters do, they do everything you do 🙄😂

I feel you Joanne, little sisters can be so annoying 😂 but also I'm still so stressed because of whatever happened later that night 😳 (also, I get it, teens drink, I did it too, but letting your very young sister drink and not keeping an eye on her? yeah, no, no matter how annoying she gets, you take care of her and either walk her home or keep her by your side or in your line of sight pls)

I do feel so fucking bad for Joanne, and I get why she feels so guilty, because of course what happened was not her fault, but she did show Tanya that it's okay to sneak out etc - the guilt of that plus not telling anyone for 45 years must just feel so fucking terrible

oh my god it was Reggie?? what? 😱 I'm just glad it's not Athena's dad tbh haha

Junior????? oh fuck, I didn't even think of that 😱😱😱 oh my god he's so creepy and disgusting, she's a little girl what the fuck 🤢

also, it kinda makes me happy (as much as an episode like that can lol) that it's Athena who figured it out, especially since this was the thing that made her wanna become a police officer and she wanted to find the girl and solve the case

the editing of that running scene, switching between Tanya running from Junior and Junior running from Athena, it's so fucking good + the music... I'm crying

that poor girl 😭😭😭💔

Athena got him - this is making me more emotional than if any other cop did, because that's why she wanted to become a cop in the first place, to find this guy 😭

now I feel bad I suspected Samuel, but the evidence was there and even Athena wasn't sure 😂 also, Reggie fucking knew 😡 I get protecting your son but other parents lost their child dude.....

oh my god there were others 💔🤢 of course there were oh my god 😭

OH MY GOD WHAT A GOOD EPISODE

it was amazing, and so sad, with a bittersweet ending, because at least they found out what happened but all those girls... 💔😭 and it's scary to think that those things really happen irl

also, I need to watch some crime shows because this was so exciting, as much as it was sad and devastating 😂

Angela Basset is a fucking queen, I love her so much

I'm not even mad that it was just this one storyline this episode because it was amazing and I wasn't bored for even a second (which lately is a problem with most shows for me lol), the pacing was amazing, it kept me engaged and the misleads and twists got me 😂

it was amazing and I hope that now Athena and Bobby will get to go on their honeymoon and finally get some very well-deserved vacation 😂😂 give that woman a break pls 😂

and I can't wait to see what the rest of the firefam are up to, tho tbh I didn't miss them that much this episode because of how good this was (but I did miss seeing Eddie bc I didn't have my weekly pause and thirst for Eddie moment lol)

this was one of my fave episodes of the whole show tbh, so good, such an important topic, so heartbreaking, loved it

Rewriting Twilight (2009) cause I’m bored

- I may or may not be looking into this as a modern thing bc fuck the 2000s lmfaoooo so let’s say... 2017? that works right ?

- Okay, starting off, can we pLEASE give Renee a better reason for ABANDONING HER TEENAGE DAUGHTER? literally just the while leaving to be on the road thing just, pisses me off so badly

- okay okay okay hold on if i have to go into that route to fit with the story🙄 can we at least do it so that renee and phil take bella to forks instead of just being like “yup here’s your plane ticket see ya whenever” like renee at least takes bella and helps her settle in, even if she and charlie aren’t on the best of terms they’ll get along for their daughter

- growing up, charlie was way more involved with bella. she would spent several weeks during summer with him in forks, and the occasional time in several other places given that charlie got the time off

- while in forks, bella and charlie would spend time with the blacks; billy, rebecca, rachel, and jacob. she and the twins were closer than she and jacob ever would be, but the four of them were always disappointed when bella had to return to arizona

- bella and renee were like a perfect lil mother-daughter duo up until bella realized how lonely her mother was and encouraged her to date. although she was the one to encourage her, there was an immediate shift in their relationship

- when bella moved to forks, she hadn’t seen charlie for years—having decided herself to just, stop visiting. the few days renee was spending in forks with her were very much, as the kids say, awkward as fuck

- the boys in the high school weren’t just, so attracted to her? like have you been a new kid in a school? you’re the interest for like a week or two and then everybody is like eh whatever

- she still met mike, jessica, and angela and whoever the other guy is, um his name isn’t on the wiki so pardon me and they are absolute best friends, minus mike who 100% has a crush on her from the moment he sees her

- ERIC HIS NAME IS ERIC

- jessica, angela and bella totally have girl nights and you cannot tell me otherwise i mean theyre 17 ofc theyre gonna have girl nights and hangouts all the time

- jessica and angela help bella settle into the school, angela actually asks for bellas help for tips for the newspaper from time to time

- CULLEN TIME BB

- bella and edward are intrigued with one another but after that one day in science (biology? idk science class let’s go) bella thought he was kind of a massive dick and didn’t want anything to do with him, especially after jessica mentioned that he was totally closed off from everyone except his family

- okay fr cullen time

- i 100% am keeping the stories of emmett rosalie esme and carlisle cause yes

- one thing i do want to change, my girl rosalie is poc<3 fuck that white cullen vampire bullshit

- jasper was nOT a confederate soldier, fUCK THAT he was drafted, upset about it, but he still tried his best to make his country proud—which maria took advantage of.

- alice is poc too<3 we love poc women in this home<3<3

- (im only saying poc the rest is up to you<3>)

- can we pUHLEASE have the cullens act like regular people? instead of “oh those foster siblings and their love lives, oh dr cullen adopt me pls” can it be like, yeah carlisle and esme are foster parents and the only ones they’ve really “adopted” are edward and alice. rosalie and jasper are twins, and they just kind of have permission to live with the cullens and then emmett comes from let’s say an abusive home and the cullens were like wow fuck that shit we give you shelter AND THATS LESS WEIRD THAN FOSTER SIBLING LOVE

- AND THEY DONT SPARKLE IN THE FUCKING SUN, PLEASE

- okay back to regular programming

- edward still saves bella from getting crushed, and bella tries to talk to him about it but after edward is rude once again bella just says fuck you and bounces off

- jessica angela and bella say fuck boys and decide to do a girls group to prom bc my girls are besties

- edward knows that bella is his mate but he is pushing her away bc of her being human and he’s hurting bc of it

- despite his protests, alice befriends bella on her own and becomes close to her, with bella even inviting alice to join her and the girls to girls night — alice 100% tries to invite rosalie, but she only goes when she has nothing to do

- victoria james and laurent are still 100% tracking the cullens

- jessica angela bella alice and rosalie all go dress shopping. rosalie goes for the dresses while alice goes to watch over bella for edward. bella still detaches from the group, and gets harassed by that group but ITS ROSALIE THAT SAVES HER bc fuck if she’s gonna let another woman go through what she went through

- it’s through alice and rosalie that bella realizes the truth about the cullens (with the help jacob and his lil group making comments about the cullens)

- alice invites bella over to the house a lot, mostly trying to get edward to get close to her but it mainly just became a thing of bella getting close to literally everyone but edward bc he’s a pussy and doesnt wanna be near her out of fear of hurting her

- it isn’t until the baseball game (which rosalie thoughtfully invited bella to) and james victoria and laurent attack that edward finally admits that he is attracted to bella but at this point she’s like yeah that’s cool but you’ve been nothing but rude to me so

- as much as it pains him, he settles on just being friends with her

- the same tricky james story is the same. he tricks her to the ballet studio and tries to kill her blah blah blah

- edward tries to suck the venom out of bella’s system and nearly kills her in the process; rosalie and carlisle practically have to drag edward off of her, with rosalie taking him out of the building while carlisle takes care of bella

- everything is happily ever after, bella is in the hospital but edward isn’t there. he can’t trust himself around bella anymore, nor does he want to be near her after having almost killed her, though she doesn’t blame him cause he was really just trying to save her life

- bella still goes to prom, but it’s as a group instead; her, jessica, angela, mike, eric, and tyler (the guy that almost killed her with his car lmao) all go as a group.

- the cullens be there too with edward watching over bella but the moment she tries to talk to him, edward bounces.

- victoria still watches over, a plan already set in motion to kill bella as revenge for the cullens killing james

i think being a ww fan means recognizing the inherent flaws in its story and characters. for every amazing character moment, theres the fact that the show has a lot of misogyny, both from its male characters and how its female characters are written and treated (ex. the whole laurie and sam arc. some of the stuff that josh says to donna). for every istotg moment, theres the fact that charlie was literally written in bc the show was considered too white (and for most of its run, was). for all the awesome political moments, for all the show presented bipartisanship, and had republicans that were sympathetic, three-dimensional characters, theres the fact of ainsleys entire introduction to the show. it has issues, real issues, and highlighting its high highs should also come with acknowledging its low lows.

Absolutely! I couldn’t have said it any better (but pls watch as i proceed to make your point bc i feel like i should respond).

For any of yall saying the moments i talk about don’t rlly matter, please notice that even if it didn’t bother you, it might have bothered other ppl/enforced steroetypes/etc.

For example, there’s one super misogynistic line that josh says that still sticks with me? as a woman, i think most times the show was sexist/anytime anybody was sexist i tend to notice in a way men probably don’t, the same way white ppl don’t notice when everybody in a room is white. it’s just something you notice. but anyway, there’s that one thing with the economy/china-us trade relationship or something in season 5 or 6 and they talk about bras, which is this whole comedic moment. but i remember donna telling josh this, and then josh going “do the Chinese even need bras?”

and i’m not Chinese, i’m desi and i don’t know what it’s like be Chinese and i’m sure there are cultural beauty standards i’m not aware of, obviously. but hearing that line made me so uncomfortable. ig it was supposed to be funny, and donna sort of reprimands him, but it made me so uncomfortable! and there are so many moments like that on the show.

there are maybe 3 recurring black characters (charlie, fitz, nancy mcnally) and that’s it. there’s angela blake, but she wasn’t there for you to like her bc she was “replacing” josh after that whole carrick business. your point about charlie being the point of diversity saddens me. i saw one asian person on the show, cathy, for like two episodes. that’s all.

and also, sam, despite being my favorite, says some sexist things! i’m gonna talk about sam because he is my favorite, but moments of casual sexism are true of just about every character on the show. the bit about “leggy blonde republicans not knowing anything”, he condescends connie tate (i thought that was kinda funny but it was in poor taste bc connie--despite not seeing much of her--was incredibly intelligent and sam speaking down to her did rub me wrong), the bit about “baton twirling” when he talks to ainsley (tho she gives a great quip back and abt five minutes later he calls her intelligent), that borderline savior mentality with laurie (i (not being a sex worker, someone pls let me know if that was more problematic than the way i saw it) would’ve been fine with that whole storyline if they just kept her on so we could see laurie put sam in his place some more. bc i liked that they said that sex work was real work and that she liked what she did and didn’t fall to some trope about being abused as a child/crazy/etc but then they straight up never mentioned her again. she was smart and she could put him into his place and i liked her enough that i wish we saw their friendship). also he hears from this one weather person/air force person, and when he sees her he goes “you look exactly how you sound on the phone” and yuck

all the same, i like sam! he was idealistic and incredibly smart and i loved all his little impromptu speeches and he had great chemistry with everybody. i was so sad when he left the show and so excited when he came back (even for like two scenes). but i know he’s problematic. knowing he’s problematic and liking him as a character can happen at the same time.

also cj and relationships is weird on this show. that whole episode where she goes back to visit her ailing father there’s this weird romance with that one guy and it’s so weird. also bill? that we never see? the ranger or whatever? i like that cj had emotions (to be strong does not equal emotionless, i appreciated her appreciation for a pretty dress/shoes/jewelry bc that’s something i wish i knew when i was younger) but that was ridiculous. when she gets promoted to chief of staff, this was a great moment to mention sexism in the workplace/the sad rarity of women in power and i honestly don’t think they did, at least not meaningfully enough that i remember it.

also there’s this whole ridicule of the michigan’s women’s caucus? not important at all, but it’s a sad how they talk down to an organization that isn’t there for mockery just because it’s full of women. it’s a legitimate thing, and because it’s full of women they constantly talk down about it.

i don’t know, but as i type this, i keep noticing more casual sexism and racism on the show. but that doesn’t mean i don’t love the show anyway. government can be optimistic (it’s not right now, but it can be) and it brought me out of a funk and i love it so, but like you said, it has its high highs and its low lows and we, as viewers, should acknowledge this.

Carol and Daryl in “a certain doom” SPOILERSSSSSSSS. some random thoughts about their current situation and how things can develop in the future after the jump....

so Carol and Daryl are just working together and talking about Michonne being gone. i think Carol is a bit hurt when he says he would have left with Michonne had she given him the chance. while Daryl voices his fear he’ll never see her again, like everyone else, like CAROL, who has been there but gone for most of s10. he’s got that fear she still got the urge to run away again. she tries to reach him with “i’m still here,” (excuse me, consumed “you still here. trying” call back! yeahhhh!) but the way he just looks at her and doesn’t say a word really makes me think he doesn’t believe her. i mean, she has promised him to not put herself in danger anymore at the cave and half an hour later she broke that promise.

the real emotional and meaningful scenes of the whole ep are between Lydia and Carol. Lydia desperately wants to connect, but so does Carol, and it’s just beautiful to see them play out those moments. Carol stops Lydia “you need to be yourself, you need to find your own way” and it’s ironic how she is basically just talking about herself too. Carol is lost. she needs to be herself and find a different way. Lydia is def not looking for another mom, and she tells Carol that they can have a different type of relationship, how they can be something else. it’s like giving Carol permission to be more than just a mom. Carol doesn’t have to be a mom. she can be different. i love that with my whole heart.

Carol offers to sacrifice herself at the cliff instead of Lydia. AND NO, I DONT THINK CAROL IS SUICIDAL. pls stop that bullshit. i do think Carol is willing to do whatever it takes to save her people, to make up for her own mistakes, i really don’t think she wants to die. she wants to live, but she doesn’t want to live in a world where people she loves are at risk if she can do something about it. she dislocated her arm to get out under that boat so Carol wants to live and keep the people she loves safe. but the fact Lydia came back for her, to stand with her in the middle of so much death means everything to me. and just remembering that scene is gonna make me cry forever. Carol needed that. i needed that. Lydia, someone who she hurt with her reckless behavior to be there for her, to understand her, to hold her and just show her she cares. ok. i’m emotional. i can’t.

then Daryl... he’s just waiting with the group, when Carol and Lydia arrive singing praises to each other like the proudest newest bffs. i can’t help but think Daryl is once again feeling let down cause Carol decided to risk her life by herself again, albeit with Lydia’s help, but he’s got no time to consider it. he just checks her up and down, making sure she’s in no way injured and that breaks my heart into a million pieces. no matter what she does, he really just wants her to be ok.

Daryl hesitates just a little tiny bit before saying he’s good and ask her if it’s finally over, if she got what she wanted. she completely avoids looking at him when she says she didn’t and won’t get what she wants, still “you still got me” and she breaks down cause she really thought she had lost him. she’s so unsure, she’s so insecure, she’s so lost that she really thought she could ever do anything to really push him away. ican’t. all he wants is to touch her and i’m not imagining this. he is the one that makes that hug happen because she needs it but he needs it too. she’s back. she’s here. omg, these two are the biggest love fools in history.

it’s such a tender moment, when this idiot got the audacity to smile and tease Carol about New Mexico again. and he seems so hopeful, but also a bit dejected when she once again fails to look him in the eye to say “maybe someday. we still have things to do here.” i really got this weird impression that he really just wants to leave all their baggage behind and start over brand new with her. he wants to take her away from all the pain and heartache and live a simpler life. he just wants to be with her. he isn’t thinking about responsibilities or anything else in that moment.

Carol is not there yet. she’s gotta want to make amends with people she let down, and i do think she is still thinking about Connie. she wants to find her, and at the moment, she does seems like the only one who’s thinking about her. and that brings me back to Carol’s biggest insecurity. she still doesn’t think she is good, she’s certain not good enough for Daryl even if it’s what she wants the most. idie a little.

SO i don’t think Carol and Daryl are ok. he still doesn’t believe she means it when she says she’s still here, and she’s gonna have to work really hard to prove that no matter what she’s there for him. they are both still in a weird situation where they are totally clueless what they mean to each other. Daryl has to be wondering where does Carol and Zeke’s relationship stand, while Carol is convinced he’s interested in Connie. that’s what they are for sure gonna be working on healing their relationship, their trust in each other, and learning to really open up to each other about their real feelings.

i am absolutely not worried at all because Angela and Gimple both already confirmed the Carol/Daryl spin off will have a different tone, and the characters are finally gonna be comfortable in their own skins. they will finally find themselves and find a way to work together on opening up. they will be finally in a peaceful state of mind that allows them to be content, if not damn happy. that’s what i’m hoping for. no matter what happens, Carol and Daryl will decide to leave everything behind, get on the bike and runaway together. that’s so f*ckn romantic....

#caryl #caryl rants #carol peletier #daryl dixon #caryl spinoff #twd spoilers #listen this is long and nonsense #i basically didn't sleep #so ignore me if you wish #positive rant tone #if you are not feeling the positivity just skip it

Baby Girl | G.D [Part One]

A/N: This is my first time doing a multiple-part fanfic, so pls don’t judge me too harshly 😅 I’m not completely sure where this is going yet, but I thought that I might as well post the first part :P

Basically: Y/N is a young innocent girl, senior in high school, and her good friend Cameron is helping her out with uni applications. What Y/N doesn’t know is that Cam’s younger brothers are hot as fuck and one of them has taken a liking to her..

Hope you guys enjoy it :)) Lmk what you think (If I should continue this or not hehe)

Word Count: 6.2K

You’d known Cameron for a while since she was pretty good friends with your sister. They hung out frequently whenever she visited LA, and a lot of their time was spent at the apartment you shared with your older sister. So, it resulted in you and Cam getting pretty close, and you thought of her as a sister figure, but one you were still a bit awkward around.

When Cameron suggested that she help you out with your uni applications, you were excited but also nervous. She was visiting again, and she was staying with her twin younger brothers. You didn’t want to feel like you were imposing, but she said she was happy to help you out. She’d helped you out a lot with your assignments throughout high school, so when she invited you over to the house she was staying at so you guys could get to work, you didn’t think much of it, especially since she told you that her brothers would probably be out for most of the day. She’d, of course, made sure with them beforehand, so you weren’t too concerned about going over there. You’d brought a bag full of a few stuff you’d need, and made your way over. Her smiling face that opened the door put your anxieties at ease.

That, however, seemed to change when you both heard the front doors open, followed by the sound of laughter.

You and Cam were sitting at the breakfast table, and she was helping you work through the application. You looked up at the sound of the door opening and saw two large figures enter through it. Suddenly you could feel all of your anxiety return in an instant, bubbling around in your stomach. You weren’t expecting anybody else to come, and you hadn’t prepared yourself for meeting anybody, which was why you were dressed as if you had been home for the past three weeks (aka crusty looking sweatpants and an old t-shirt, with your hair up in a messy bun). You’d put on the bare minimum amount of makeup to give the illusion that you were somewhat prepared for the day.

“Hey, Cam.” The taller body said. His deep raspy voice surprised you, and when you looked up, It was as if your body was acting on its own because your eyes immediately clung to his bare chest. Droplets of sweat trickled down his toned abdomen, and you genuinely had to take a few seconds before getting ahold of yourself. He was holding a skateboard at his side, but you were entranced by his model-type physique that you didn’t seem to even acknowledge anything else for a moment. You casually let your gaze fall lower, almost drooling at the sight of his v-line, barely covered by his shorts that were riding too low for your comfort. You physically had to grip the side of the table to keep your head straight. The movement of his arm going up to run his fingers through his hair was what finally shook you out of your daze. You glanced at his bulging bicep, gulping at just the sheer girth of it. Your eyes followed it up his tan arm to finally look at his face. His chiseled jawline seemed to call out at you, intimidating you but drawing you in all at once. He had a bit of stubble crawling up his neck and around his chin. You glanced up at his eyes quickly, but you were too embarrassed to keep them there, and they finally rested on his pink lips. You couldn’t help looking at them. You weren’t used to looking at guys like this ever, but you’d never met a high school boy who’d looked like this before. You subconsciously licked your lips before getting interrupted from your thoughts.

“Hey, Grayson.”

This had all happened in a matter of seconds, of course, but you already knew that you were obsessed with this man, whoever he was.

The second twin closed the door, walking up towards the table. He was wearing a pair of shorts and a loose tank top, which you thanked god for since he was coming in very close proximity to you and you didn’t know if you’d be able to handle it if the first one had come near you like that.

You could tell from looking at them that they were twins, but the difference was so clear to you as well. Grayson’s face was a bit narrower than his brother, and his nose was a bit skinnier as well. You were obsessed with his locks of hair and had to keep yourself from staring at him for too long.

If you’d known Cam had such good looking brothers, she would’ve suggested working at your place.

“Who’s this?” The new twin asked, resting his forearms on the empty chair in front of him.

“Oh! Right. You remember my friend, Angela, right? This is her sister. She’s the one I’m helping out with the university application.” She turned to you. “these are Ethan,” she pointed at the one closest to you, “and that’s Grayson.” She pointed at the one leaning against the sofa in the living room.

“Nice to meet you,” Ethan said with a smile.

You returned it, but your eyes drifted back to the broad twin in the living room.

“What’re you guys doing back so early?” Cam asked.

“Oh, well, Kyle ended up having to...” he went on, mentioning something about a friend (you assumed) having to leave for some reason or another. You, however, had completely forgotten about the application in front of you and found your attention drifting back to Grayson, who was now looking at something on his phone.

You couldn’t quite put a finger on what about him captivated you so much. Sure, he was hot, and made you feel like you were going to pass out any second, but Ethan was also hot. But he didn’t give you that same feeling. Something you hadn’t felt like about any old boyfriend you’d had before. You already wanted all of his attention, and you literally hadn’t even met him yet. You wanted him near you, close to you. You shifted in your seat, trying to get a better look at his face from the other room. His jaw was clenched in a way that made you want him in ways you’d never wanted anybody else before. And you could tell that he’d be able to destroy you if he wanted.

It seemed like you were staring for too long because Grayson looked up and caught your eye. Your breathing stopped, and your eyes widened at seeing his for the first time. His dark, chestnut eyes seemed to draw you in, making your chest pound.

He tilted his head at you, seeming to be amused by your small panic because he gave you a small smile and waved.

You turned her head away incredibly fast, your face heating up fast and colour spreading to your cheeks. You coughed, clearing your throat.

However, your panic would not settle, as you could see Grayson getting up off the couch and make his way over to the table you were sitting at.

“Gray, go put a shirt on for Christ’s sake.” Cameron scolded, and the tan boy rolled his eyes.

“Whatever.”

“You’re going to taint her baby virgin eyes!” She reached over to your eyes to cover them, but you swatted them away with annoyance.

“I’m sure she’s fine,” Grayson said, looking over at you again, only making you flustered once more and turn away.

“Not much of a talker, is she?” Ethan interrupted.

“Yea, she’s kind of shy, but we’re trying to shake that.” She tried to ruffle your hair playfully, but you swatted her arm away again, huffing.

“Where’re you applying to?” Grayson asked, turning his attention back to you.

He was leaning against the chair in front of him on his forearms. Your eyes immediately went to his large hands firmly clasped together in front of you, your eyes widening at the sight of him. You wondered just what it was you’d done to deserve this.

It was hard to focus on anything with the large hunk of muscles standing before you. You couldn’t help it, he really was the most gorgeous person you’d ever seen. All the boys you’ve known throughout high school barely caught your eye, but it felt like Grayson’s gaze alone was holding you tightly, making you freeze on the spot. This was an actual man, and you were not able to handle it.

His dark eyes seemed to melt you into a puddle because you found it hard to form any words at the moment.

“Uhh..” You started, feeling like the butterflies were having a wrestling match in your stomach. He straightened his back and hoisted his arms on his waist, and that action alone had you sputtering for another few seconds.

You cleared your throat. “Caltech.”

“Damn,” Ethan said. “Didn’t know you were friends with geniuses, Cam.”

“Shut up.” She slapped his wrist, and he chuckled.

You could see Grayson’s eyes lingering on you while you pretended to focus on Cam and Ethan, and it made you want to curl up into a ball and hide away. The fact that someone as pretty as him was paying any attention to you at all made you feel naked under his gaze.

But you were absolutely loving it.

Grayson cleared his throat. “Well, I’m gonna go take a shower. You girls have fun.”

He smiled at you once more before heading off to his bedroom, and you let an audible sigh leave your lips as you finally relaxed into your seat.

Ethan snorted. “Looks like the little girl has a crush on Grayson.”

“Ethan shut the fuck up! Get out of here!” Cam slapped him again as you blushed incredibly hard, and he laughed, heading for his bedroom as well.

“I’m sorry about them,” Cam said, and you gave her a fake laugh, telling her that it was no big deal.

“You totally do have the hots for him though.”

“Cameron!”

・・・

“Oh- careful. The paper’s gonna fall.” You and Cameron were now in the twins’ backyard, beside the pool. She had suggested working outside, as it would get you more into the mood of being productive. What she didn’t plan for was all the stuff you’d be bringing out with them, but you didn’t mind.

She laughed. “Okay, maybe working out here wasn’t the best idea.”

“No, it’s okay.” The sun was just starting to set over the horizon, so it left a beautiful rosy orange that gently shone over the furniture. “I like it, it’s pretty out here.”

She smiled at you. You worked in silence for a while as she idly scrolled through her phone, but your peace was interrupted by the sound of the glass sliding door opening suddenly.

You looked up from what you were doing to see Grayson standing in the door frame, wearing nothing but a pair of swim trunks and a towel around his neck. You widened your eyes at the sight, your face beginning to heat up once more as you looked away.

“What’re you doing out here?”

Cam inquired, looking up from her phone.

Grayson grabbed the towel from his neck and threw it over the side of the couch. “Thought I’d go for a swim.”

“Ah.” She paused, her eyebrows furrowed. “Didn’t you just shower?”

“Yea.”

“And your gonna swim now?”

“Yea. Why?”

She paused for a second, then opened her mouth as if to say something, but then shook her head. “Okay, whatever weirdo.”

He made his way over to the side of the pool, your eyes following him without a second thought.

“Jeez, drool much?” Cameron laughed, and you groaned.

“How are you related to him?” you gaped, watching him stretch his thick arms over his head.

“Wow, thanks.” She rolled her eyes at you, then proceeded to get up off the couch. “I’m gonna go shower too. If you need anything, let the guys know. I’ll be back quick.”

“Wait, don’t leave me with him-”

“He’s not a dog, Y/N. He won’t bite.” You blushed at that, and she rolled her eyes again. “Now stop gaping at my brother and do your work!”

Grayson turned his head at the sound of Cameron’s exclamation, causing your face to turn beat red.

“Did you say something?”

Cam waved him away. “No, I was just talking to Y/N.” She looked back at you with a smirk.

“I hate you so much.” You said as she walked off towards the guest bedroom.

“Do your damn work!”

You sighed, rubbing your face in your hands to try and shake away the embarrassment.

“Okay, okay…” you mumbled to yourself, opening up the requirements tab for the essay you were writing. You crossed your legs underneath you, trying to get back to work.

After a few minutes, however, you noticed Grayson’s body moving out of the corner of your eye, and you couldn’t help but look up at him. He had just set his phone down and was kicking his slippers off.

You took in a deep breath. You knew you should probably head inside since it was getting darker, and there was absolutely no way you’d be able to focus with him out here, but there was just something about him that made you so curious. You couldn’t keep your eyes off of him. He stood there for a while, his hands on his waist, just looking at the beautiful scene before you both; the warm colours of the sun spilling before the trees. The only thing you were staring at, however, was his broad back, and the beautiful tattoo inked onto it. The way the lions moved on the surface of his skin when his muscles shifted made you ache, and you didn’t even know why.

“Fuck,” you muttered, biting your finger as you marveled at the sight. He walked up to the edge of the pool, leaning forward with his arms bending in front of him. He kicked of the side, diving gracefully into the pool with a splash much smaller than you would have expected for a man of his size. It took a few seconds longer than you would have thought for him to resurface, taking in a deep breath as he shook the wet hair out of his face. His chest heaved slightly, a bit out of breath as he brought his large arms up to rub his face. You tilted your head at him, watching him as if he was a piece of artwork. So when his hands left his face and his eyes connected with yours, your face flushed again. He smirked at you, finding your expression hilarious whenever he caught your eye. He waved at you once again, and this time you finally got up the nerve to give him a small wave back. He grinned at you, finding your behaviour to be incredibly cute. He bobbed his head back under the water again, and you let out a huge breath.

“Jesus.” You groaned, shaking your head as you turned your head back to your laptop. “Do you goddamn work, Y/N.” you mumbled to yourself.

…

Around twenty minutes later, you were just about done with your first draft of your essay. You set the laptop down on the table, stretching your arms out as you yawned. Now all you had to do was wait for Cameron to come read it over and tell you everything you’d done wrong.

You sighed, but your eyes perked up at seeing Grayson climb out of the pool. You stared at his drenched chest for the second time today, feeling a bit embarrassed not having your laptop on your lap to hide behind. He shook the water out of his hair and ran his hands through his drenched locks to bring them away from his face. You sighed, unable to comprehend how someone like this existed. Water dripped down his chiseled torso, and you wanted more than anything just to touch him. Your eyes clung to the tattoos on his thighs, beautiful tapestry on top of an already gorgeous artwork. He walked over to you now, making you instinctively look away from him the closer he got. He grabbed the towel that he had thrown over the couch sometime before. He rubbed his hair and shook it out once more. You grabbed your laptop from the table again, propping it up on your lap so you at least looked like you had something better to do than marvel at the boy in front of you.

Grayson pulled the towel away from his face, looking at you from the corner of his eye. He could see your eyebrows furrow, heat seeming to radiate from your face.

Grayson liked you. He’d heard you speak about a total of three words, but he knew that he liked you. You were new, different. You were exciting. You were the first new person they’d had at the house for a while, apart from the people who’d come over to work on his and Ethan’s short films. To see someone new who had no idea who he was or had no intent to gain anything from him, AND wasn’t obnoxious or rude was, frankly, a bit refreshing. And the fact that you were so young. Even if you were an “adult”, you weren’t even out of high school yet. Sure, you were technically only two years younger than him, but so much had happened for Grayson in those two years. He was a completely different person than he was when he was eighteen. He’d grown and matured. Looking at you now, he thought you were precious. Pure. A gentle angel who he’d found sitting at his breakfast table in a pair of sweatpants. And who’s small figure was now sitting gracefully in his backyard. You were the sweetest thing he’d laid his eyes on, and to be completely honest… he wanted to get a taste.

“What’re you working on, baby girl?”

Grayson sat down on the seat across from you, continuing to rub the water out of his hair.

You genuinely felt your heart stop when he said those words, unsure if you’d actually heard him correctly. You stared at him for a few seconds, eyes wide and mouth slightly agape as your face flushed even redder than before, if that was even possible. You coughed, sputtering as you looked away in embarrassment.

When Grayson didn’t hear you respond, he brought the towel down from his face again to look at you. He was going to ask what was wrong when he noticed your beating red face, which lead him to chuckle.

“Sorry, do you not like that nickname?”

You peered up at him gently.

You did like it. But you didn’t want to say it.

“My bad. I won’t call you that from now on-”

“No!” You sputtered, speaking almost at a normal volume. Grayson tilted his head at you, a confused look on his face but that charming smile still there nonetheless.

“I… I do like it.”

He grinned at you. He was already having too much fun. “Well, that’s good to know, because otherwise I’d have had to tell Cameron to stop calling you that.”

Your eyes widened at that, looking up at him with an incredulous look. “Cameron calls me that??”

“Oh, yea. All the time.”

She didn’t. But he liked calling you that.

“It’s the only thing she refers to you as when she talks to us.”

“Oh my god!” You said bringing your knees up to your chest, keeping the laptop balanced on your thighs. “I’m so gonna kill her….”

Grayson laughed at that, and you couldn’t help but smile, despite your annoyance at his older sister.

He leaned forward, looking at you intently while resting his forearms on his knees. “So.. what’re you working on?”

“Oh…” you cleared your throat. “Just these short-answer essays.”

“For the application?”

“Mhm.”

“Sounds pretty intense.” He leaned over the table to look at the requirements page you had printed out for yourself.

“Yea…” You swallowed when he grabbed the paper, his brows furrowing as he skimmed the list.

“Wow. You must be really talented to get into a school like this.”

You blushed as he set the paper back down on the table. “Yea, well... Let’s hope so.”

He looked up at you. “I’m sure you’ll get in.”

You smiled. “Thank you.”

“What do you plan on studying?” he leaned back, crossing a leg over his knee.

“Well, my goal is to get a degree in Astrophysics.”

“Fancy.”

You giggle. “Yea. I’ve wanted to be an aerospace engineer since the beginning of high school, and well…” You gestured towards the paper. “That’s the first step.”

“That’s really cool.” He gave you a warm smile, which you returned.

He rubbed his bare arms with a shiver. “It’s getting a bit chilly, isn’t it?” He reached over to grab a baby blue sweatshirt hung over the arm of the couch. He slipped it on, a bit to your disappointment since you were enjoying the sight, but he looked cozy in it, so you didn’t mind too much.

“I think I’m gonna make myself a coffee.” He stood up, making his way over to the glass door before turning around. “Do you want anything?”

“Huh?” You were distracted by his tattoos again, this time getting a better look at a gorgeous looking sunset on his thigh.

“Do you want anything to drink? Tea or coffee, maybe?”

“Oh.. sure.”

He hoisted his hands onto his waist. “You gotta pick one, sweetheart.”

Your face heated up again for the millionth time that day. The way his deep and raspy voice seemed to whisper that name in your ear, you couldn’t help but imagine him saying it to you in a different context.

You’re such a good girl, aren’t you, sweetheart?

“Uhm, tea is good,” You spit out, trying to shake the thought from your head.

Grayson tilted his head at you, smirking because he loved what he was doing to you with no effort at all. “Gotcha.”

He left for the kitchen, leaving you a melted embarrassed mess. You smacked the sides of your face to get those stupid thoughts out of your head.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” You mumbled to yourself, scolding yourself in your head.

Relax, you horny virgin.

“Stupid brain,” You grumbled, looking back down at your laptop in frustration. You rubbed your eyes with your palms, trying to refresh your thoughts. This was Cameron’s brother. You couldn’t be thinking like that…

You tried to zone out, getting back into the flow of working. You decided to get a head start on reading over the draft without Cameron. After a few minutes passed, however, a random thought popped into your head.

“Oh, shit.” You realized you’d forgotten to ask for milk in your tea. You set your laptop down on the couch beside you and got up, walking towards the house.

“Grayso-” You started, but the words flew out of your mouth when you smashed into the front of a broad chest, followed by a gasp as you felt a hot burning sensation all over your chest and shoulders.

“Oh my god!” You shrieked, jumping back to find Grayson’s cup of coffee along with your cup of tea spilt all over you.

“Jesus, fuck,” Grayson said, staring at the ground. When you looked down, you saw one of the mugs he was holding smashed to bits.

“Shit, I’m so sorry!” you said, cupping your mouth with your hands in horror at what you had just done. After the shock had subsided, the searing pain you felt across your skin from the boiling temperature drinks resumed once again.

“Ohhh my god.” you pinched your t-shirt and pulled it away from your chest, trying to fan yourself in the process.

Grayson looked up at you, realizing that he’d just spilt the drinks all over you as well. “Oh Jesus, I’m so sorry- God, uh.” He cleared his throat. “Are you wearing something under that?”

You blinked at him. “What?”

“Are you wearing anything under your t-shirt?”

“Y-yea, a tank top.”

“Okay, you’re probably gonna wanna take that off so you don’t get a scald.”

“What??”

“Okay.” He grabbed the towel that was laying on the arm of the couch. “I’m gonna go soak this in cold water, but seriously, you should take that off.”

“O-okay, but first let me clean up the mess-”

“No.” He grabbed your shoulder, and you winced at his touch, causing him to recoil away very fast.

“Fuck, sorry. Don’t worry about this, I’ll clean it up.” He made sure that you sat down before running back into the house.

You debated on what to do. You didn’t want Grayson seeing you shirtless for the first time because you made an embarrassing mistake, but you also didn’t want to allow the pain in your chest to get any worse. You finally decided that you really didn’t want to get completely burned, so you reluctantly took your top off, leaving you in your small tank top with spaghetti straps, your chest and shoulders basically completely exposed. Your chest hurt really bad, but you were more embarrassed by the fact that you’d let this happen in the first place. When Grayson rushed back outside, you crossed your arms in front of your chest.

“Here.” He handed you the wet towel. You reached for it, not meeting his eyes while doing so.

“Thanks.”

He nodded, letting you clean yourself up while he bent down to clean the broken shards of the cup off of the ground with the dustpan.

“Wait, did any of it get on you?” You just realized how selfish you were being, since Grayson probably got splashed as well considering your guys’ close proximity. You got up to hand the towel back to him, but he waved you back down.

“No, I’m fine. You use that quickly though.”

You nodded, sitting back down in your seat. When the cold surface of the towel touched your burned skin, you let out an audible gasp, but then sighed in relief as the pain slowly started to dissipate. After cleaning the actual tea off of your skin, you laid the towel on top of your shoulders. You turned your attention back to Grayson, who was sweeping up the final shards of the mess.

“Sorry for breaking the cup.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

…

“Sorry for spilling tea all over you.”

“It was my fault, I bumped into you.”

“Still, sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

He got up and faced you. “Do you want me to wash it and give it back to you?” He pointed at the towel since it had warmed up to room temperature quite fast.

“No, it’s okay. You gave it to me pretty quick so I’m fine now.” You gave the towel back to him, your arms instinctively going back to cross over your bare chest.

He left to go dispose of the waste he’d collected in the dustpan. You groaned, burying your face in your hands. Of course, you’d do something embarrassing right after meeting the prettiest boy you’d ever seen. You’d basically proven that you were just a clumsy young girl straight from the get-go, so that was great. And now you were completely exposed.

“Damn.”

When Grayson appeared once more, you brought your arms up and around your shoulders, trying to shield yourself from him.

He looked like he was about to say something, but he stopped himself. Grayson didn’t know what to do with himself in this situation. He was obsessed with your small form, and for some reason just knowing that you were in a bit of pain hurt him. He wanted to make you feel better. Feel good.

He scratched the back of his head, trying not to look at you because he knew if he did, he wouldn’t be able to help himself. “Do you want to wear my sweatshirt?”

You paused for a second, but then nodded just enough for him to notice. He brought his arms up and grabbed the back of his sweatshirt, pulling it over his head in one swift movement.

Sure, you were embarrassed, but you could still appreciate what you got to see.

He handed you his sweatshirt and you accepted it gratefully, pulling it over your head. You were immediately hit with a gentle but calming aroma. The scent of sweet vanilla filled your nose, and you sighed when you finally tugged it over your body, feeling snug in the oversized apparel. You closed your eyes for a moment, feeling like you were in a beautiful garden, a floral scent tickling your nose now, You were obsessed with the smell of him, and were dying to get close enough to get a whiff of the real thing.

You cracked your eyes open when you felt the cushions on the couch shift, and you saw it was because of Grayson setting himself down next to you. You grabbed your laptop and placed it in your lap, so he’d have more room on the couch.

“Thanks,” he said, and you smiled in response. You returned your attention to your work, finally being able to focus now that you were no longer so tense.

Grayson leaned back on the couch, resting an arm on the top of the back. He gazed at you, not being able to help but have a small smile grow on his lips. He loved the way you looked in his sweatshirt. The way you seemed to be able to relax in it as if that’s where you belonged. Like you were entitled to it. Your small body looked even more petite in his clothes, the arms draping far lower than yours and going far past your fingertips. He imagined seeing you like this, with your hair up in your messy bun and in your sweatpants, every morning. Waking up to you like this. Holding your face in his hands as the sun broke through the blinds.

You shifted in your seat, trying to get more comfortable, but it seemed that you had moved your shoulder in a way that made the now small burn hurt, and you hissed at the pain.

Grayson’s hooded eyes now widened, leaning closer to you. “You okay?” he brought his hand up to lightly brush your collar bone, which was easy for him since the sweatshirt was so large on you, it left the area around your neck a little exposed.

You flinched at his contact. “Yea, I’m fine. Just moved weirdly…”

He put a bit of pressure on a spot on your chest. “Is it here?”

You hesitated. “No..”

He shifted his hand closer to your shoulder. “Here?”

You flinched again, this time from the pain. “Ah, yea, there.”

“Okay, we’re probably gonna have to put some ointment on that.”

“Okay.” You looked up at him, and the concern you could see in his eyes made your insides melt.

He looked back up at you. “Seriously, I’m really sorry.”

“No, it’s okay.”

Was his face really this close to yours right now?

You could feel his breath, and you could start to smell the pure floral scent you’d already become obsessed with. Your heart was pounding in your chest. You’d never felt like this with anybody before. And you couldn’t help it, he was so close to you now that your eyes fluttered down to his lips for a second. It was quick, and hopefully unnoticeable.

But it didn’t go unnoticed. Grayson was looking at you so intently because of something he wanted to do so bad, so when he saw your eyes drift down so quickly, his hand naturally went to grip your neck.

You breathed out slowly, not knowing what to do. Grayson looked down at your lips now, so anxious to get a taste now. He needed to know just how sweet this angel was.

So when you nodded your head slightly at his questioning eyes, he took no time to lean in and press his lips to yours. You gasped, but it was short since Grayson made sure to get as close as he possibly could. He relished the taste of you, sweet like the cherries he used to pick out of his mother’s garden. Brows furrowed, his arm went up further from your neck to grip your hair, causing you to sigh into his lips. When his other arm came around to grip your waist, you could feel yourself get light headed. His hands were warm against you, and at the moment they seemed to burn your skin more than the tea. You were afraid to touch him but leaned in closer still. He moaned softly, and your insides felt like they were bubbling within you. It was an immediate rush that you couldn’t get down from.

Suddenly the sound of the glass door sliding open once more brought you both out of your daze, and Grayson pulled away so fast, it made you ache.

“Hey Y/N, are you done?” It was Cameron, finally coming back from her long-ass shower to check in on you.

Grayson covered his mouth, rubbing his chin gently. He rubbed his lips with the back of his palm as discreetly as possible, trying to get the colour of your lipstick off of his lips.

You, however, were still high off of Grayson’s touch, your chest heaving slightly from being out of breath. Grayson looked over at you, his eyes widening for a moment, and he began rubbing his lower lip intensely, trying to signal to you.

You were confused for a few seconds, but your face flushed when you realized what he meant, going to rub the smeared lipstick off of your bottom lip.

“What are you still doing here?” Cameron said to Grayson, walking over to the both of you.

“Nothing.” He ran his hand back through his hair. “Just getting to know Y/N a bit better.” He gave you a side look, and you had to cough to keep your red face from being so obvious.

“You think you could do that while wearing a shirt for once?” She crossed her arms, and Grayson rolled his eyes at her.

“Speaking of, isn’t that…?” She pointed at the sweatshirt you were wearing and raised her eyebrows.

“Uhm..” you began.

“There was a little accident.” Grayson cut in, saving you. “I accidentally spilled some tea on her.”

“Wow, what a great way to make a first impression.” Cameron laughed, and you chuckled along with her awkwardly.

“Shut up.” He got up, now making his way for the glass door. “Speaking of, she needs some ointment or something. There’s a burn.”

“Are you serious?” Cameron hurried over to you, sitting at your side. “Where? What happened?”

“I’m fine.” You assured her with a smile.

You peered behind her to see Grayson leaning against the door frame, a smirk on his lips.

Oh yes, you were much more than fine.

“It’s just a small burn.” You shoved her hand away from you.

Cameron turned back towards her brother. “What is wrong with you? Do you plan on ruining every person I bring here?”

“Calm down, she’s fine.”

She scoffed. “Like you’d even care!”

“Cam…” You grabbed her arm, trying to settle her down.

He rolled his eyes once more. “Whatever. I’m going.”

Cameron groaned as her brother walked back into the house.

“I’m really sorry about him.” She said, looking back at you.”

You shook your head. “No, he was actually really nice.”

She narrowed her eyes at you. “You’re just saying that because you have a crush on him.”

“CAMERON!”

“Don’t yell at me, I’m right!” She laughed, grabbing your laptop as she got up. “Okay, grab your stuff. It’s getting dark. And we’ll get something for your burn.” She rubbed your shoulder, then went back inside the house.

“..kay.” You mumbled after.

When you were sure Cameron was out of earshot, you collapsed onto the sofa, pressing a hand to your chest to check if your heart was still beating.

It was, and so fast.

You buried your face into your hands, inhaling Grayson’s heavenly scent from his sweatshirt. You couldn’t even comprehend what has just happened, it had gone by so fast. His lips were on yours, and a split second later Cameron was sitting next to you.

“Oh my god, oh my god…” Your chest was pounding. You’d never felt a sensation like it. His soft lips, the taste of roasted coffee beans mixed with vanilla, The feeling of his hands touching you, heating up your skin, curling up into your hair… it made you head spin. And you wanted so much more, so badly.

But this was Cameron’s brother.

God, what had you gotten yourself into?

28 with Steve? :) 💛💛

you’re still mad.

(thank you to the amazing @harringtonhq for helping me when i was stuck! (: )

you love him. you love him. you love him.

you chant to try and cool your boiling nerves. you love steve harrington, you really do, but sometimes he could be so stupid, you wanted to scream (and often did).

so much about him was endearing, there was so much about him to love. he had a kind heart, a great capacity for love, always wanted the best for others, was eager to learn, had a wonderful sense of humor, the list when on. but, everyone has their flaws, and steve was definitely was not exempt.

he was stubborn, vain at times. he gave horrible advice and could often be too proud for his own good.

somehow along the way of dating steve, you had been roped in to hanging out with a group of thirteen year olds. at first, you would just sit quietly next to steve as he talked to them, praying for it to be over soon. you weren’t necessarily jumping up and down to hang out with children in your limited free time. though as time went on, and you got to know each kid better, you started to like the time spent with them. you now enjoyed all the kids that your boyfriend was friends with, which can still be an uncomfortable sentence to say. you generally got along with all of them, but with max and el, you were bonded to them in a much deeper way. they were floundering for any positive female energy by the time you showed up, and you happily took them under your wing.

so, when steve was off with the boys, you migrated towards the girls. you enjoyed them deeply as friends, but you also enjoyed feeling looked up too. you relished in your new role as the cool older girl in their eyes. you loved that they trusted you, that they would come to you with questions and concerns about the world, and would take your advice seriously.

you had developed a strong protective instinct with the girls over the past year, and that was why you had sped over to max’s house as soon as you received a hysterical call from el. when you arrived you fled your car and went to knock loudly on the hargrove’s door. to your dismay, billy answered it with a smarmy grin.

“finally ready to give in to what we both want, (y/l/n)?” he leaned his bare shoulder against the doorframe.

“ugh, in your dreams, hargrove.” you gagged, and pushed past him into the house.

“every night princess! lemme know when you’re gonna allow me to make all yours come true!” he called after you.

you rolled your eyes, and thankfully got to max’s bedroom before he could say anything else.

“your brother is so gross.” you scowled as you entered.

“i know.” and your head snapped up to where max and el were sitting on her duvet.

max’s face was flushed pink, her eyes were glossy and her cheeks painted with tears. el had a comforting arm around her.

you went into immediate lioness mode, “what happened? who hurt you?”

you rushed forward and pried max from el and into your arms.

“lucas.” el stated simply.

“my god, what did he do? i’ll kill him!” you pythoned the redhead closer.

“he was being so rude. so rude and just ignoring everything i said. and, and he was just so…”

“rude.” el chimed in.

“yes! god!” max wailed into your t-shirt.

“what exactly happened, honey?” you murmured, stroking her hair calmly.

“I was just trying to talk to him, to have a conversation! but nothing, and i really needed to talk to him about all this stuff with neil and my mom and i got nothing. when i pointed out that he was being an ass he told me to stop being so crazy.”

“he what?” you gasped, still trying to console her.

“yeah, so then i told him that he was a dick and that we were over.”

“again.” el said, mostly in observation. she wasn’t wrong, lucas and max broke up all the time.

“i just can’t believe him!” max sobbed.

“it’s like he just didn’t care.”

and then it clicked.

didn’t care.

“son of a bitch!” your tone had changed so drastically from sweet and reassuring to anger and frustration, it caused both girls to jump.

“what, what is it?” max pulled away to look up at you.

“do you know where he is now?”

“at the mall. he, dustin and mike are gonna sneak into stupid top gun again.” max wiped at her eyes with the back of her hand.

“perfect, let’s go. get your shit.” you released max and started towards the door.

“what are you gonna do?” el asked, scrambling off the bed with max as they searched for their shoes and jackets.

“i’m gonna rip my boyfriend a new one for giving that dumbass advice to her boyfriend.”

“wait steve told him to do that?” max questioned as she followed you.

you lead the girls to your car, and whipped out the hargrove driveway and toward the mall, grinding your teeth. chanting away in your head to remind yourself to not follow max’s lead when you saw steve.

meanwhile, el and max were beside themselves with excitement. they loved you for so many reasons. you were smart, intelligent, compassionate and always ready and willing to stand up for yourself and others. you were a badass. a badass who lent them your copy of the feminine mystique and preached the gospel of angela davis. they just thought you were cool.

when you all arrived at starcount, you were a woman on a mission. you knew that you were probably overreacting, but if you let your boyfriend continue to think for one more minute that ignoring women and what they have to say will someone get them to desire you more, you’d be failing yourself.

so, you with your two little ducklings in tow marched toward scoops ahoy, where luckily, dustin and lucas already were waiting. no doubt your boyfriend was nearby.

“hey, tweedle dee and tweedle dumbass, where’s the ring leader?” you jeered when you entered scoops.

“oh, so you’re still mad…” lucas spoke first, glancing back to max whose face soured.

he knew that if you were showing up this mad looking for steve, there was no doubt max tattled to you.

before you could respond, the man himself stepped out from the backroom.

“hey baby, wasn’t expecting you.” steve smiled affectionately at you, not processing your anger.

“you!” you moved and pointed an accusatory finger toward him.

“me?”

“yes, you! god, dammit steve! what exactly did you tell lucas?”

you watched steve go through a facial journey. of being confused by your anger, to looking at max looming behind you, to lucas, back to max then back to you, and finally understanding.

“nothing. i said nothing.” he shook his head.

“nothing? huh, really? so, you didn’t give any advice that might simmer down to being a dickbag to a girl to make her like you more?” you hissed.

“he actually said-”

“lucas! shut up!”

“too late, he just sold you out, harrington. now, what did you say?”

steve looked to both boys for support, but they averted their gazes.

“i didn’t say anything! why would i say anything like that? he clearly thought of that himself.”

“excuse me?” lucas chimed in.

“wanna play dirty? fine, let’s do this,” lucas turned to you, “steve told me and i quote, “you gotta act like you could take it or leave it. that if you didn’t talk to her today it wouldn’t matter.” end quote.”

your eyes widened and you turned back to your boyfriend for now, “are you crazy! who gives advice like that? to a child no less?”

“hey, i’m fourteen!”

“eh, eh, eh, i don’t care.” you said impatiently back at lucas.

“i just… look, ok, it works! how do you think i got you? who is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, by the way. have i mentioned that lately?” steve batted his eyes at you.

“how you got me? seriously? i only started liking you after you cut out all that pompous dick behavior! but y’know that? maybe i acted to soon, maybe i was wrong.” you crossed your arms over your chest.

“(y/n/n), come on, ok, listen! it’s just standard advice, my dad gave it to me and i’m sure his did to him. i’m only passing on the legacy.” steve tried to explain.

“the first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn, gloria steinem.” max chimed in, causing everyone to look back to her.

“see! that!” you gestured to her.

“baby-”

“do not baby me, steve harrington.”

“sweetheart-”

“you don’t actually believe that works, do you?”

steve made an unsure sound, and racked a hand through his hair.

“i cannot believe you! if you ever give that advice to anyone again, impressionable child or not- i swear on my life i will lose my mind.” you clenched your fists.

“this isn’t you losing your mind?” lucas asked.

“not the time, not the time. abort, abort.” dustin said under his breath to his friend.

lucas immediately clammed up and looked away from you.

“forget about coming over tonight, harrington.” you sneeded, and turned on your heel to leave.

max and el looked between each other with huge grins, then followed after you, rife with giggles and praise.

“oh man, you’re so fucked.” dustin chuckled with a shake of his head.

“nah, nah. this is fine, this is cool. it’s all good. it’ll be fine.” steve muttered, placing his hands on his hips as he watched your figure become smaller in the distance.

“go after her.” dustin advised.

“what? no, we’re…”

“go after her.” he reiterated, and steve was already fleeing his post behind the counter to run after you.

“baby, i’m sorry! i’m an idiot, what’s new? i love you!” both boys watched steve catch up with you and start to apologize. he placed on hand on your cheek, and seemed to pouring on the amends thick.

“he was kinda right?” lucas mused.

“excuse me?” dustin asked aghast.

“i mean she just left like she could care less and steve was tripping over himself to follow her.” he shrugged.

“if you let (y/n) hear you say that, i won’t stop her from kicking your ass.” dustin snorted.

“she couldn’t-” dustin gave lucas a pointed looked, “ok fine, yeah she could.”
