[sure! sounds good to me:)]

stacy smith

"great!" with that, stacy was already beginning to look through her closet. though, small, she had plenty of things to offer. she began pulling out different types of clothing and soon enough, she had a few things laid out for choice. a white boxy crop top with a pair of black leggings and a denim jacket in case the weather turned cold and a graphic crop top with ripped jeans and a short leather jacket. though, stacy wasn't entirely sure with the picks, she turned to jamie and smiled. "i think either one will look great on you! it's your choice, however."

Jamie Rose

Jamie’s eyes widened at her options. She never would’ve chosen these outfits for herself. The shirts were so...short. Where was the rest of it? “Urm,” she paused, looking between the two. “I suppose that one will do.” She pointed towards the outfit with the denim jacket, hoping it would provide as much conservatism as possible.

She slid the outfit on, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her little bum looked strangely defined in the leggings, and the crop top made her chest seem huge. A red tint formed across Jamie’s cheeks as she admired herself. By the time Stacy finished putting Jamie’s makeup on, and curling her naturally wavy hair, she could barely recognize herself. Stacy seemed pleased with her work, even more so as she finished getting herself ready. The room smelled of hairspray and perfume. James was clearly growing impatient as he paced around the room.

James West

Throughout the getting ready process, James was growing more bored, and more ready to party. He was ordered to leave the room while the pair changed, and was reinvited in after. He laid on the bed on his phone for the most part. Once the girls announced they were ready to go, his head popped up excitedly. His eyebrows raised at Jamie, who looked completely different than she had when she’d come into the room. “Geez, Jamie, you look-” he stopped himself, looking for permission from Stacy before continuing. “You look hot!” His words caused a blush to spread across her cheeks as the thanked him. He ushered them out of the door as fast as he could.

When they finally arrived inside of the fraternity house that the party was held at, James was amused at the awe in Jamie’s face. He absentmindedly wondered if Stacy would stick to her roommate, or if she’d wander off as usual. He figured Jamie could hold her own, anyway, after she stood up to Ethan. Speaking of the Devil, James spotted Ethan chatting up some blonde with big eyes, who already seemed drunk...seemed.

stacy smith

stacy was quite happy with the makeover of, jamie. in fact, she thought that it was quite possibly one of her best works yet. when, james commented on, jamie, stacy simply rolled her eyes and scoffed before the trio headed out the door and to the party.

as they arrived, stacy already found herself exchanging some greetings with a few friends and a few people she kind of knew. she couldn't wait to really get to partying and in fact, she was already starting to wander off. however, she tried her best to stick to jamie and not try to leave her by herself in a place full of strangers. then, she spotted some friends she hadn't seen in forever and she grew ecstatic. said friends, had left the area due to some family business and they always said they'd return, she just never knew when and she was quite glad to see them back. without much of a second thought, she was already making her way to her long-lost friends, having already forgotten about, jamie. she had merely yelled to james, that she'd be back before she was off.

ethan Ó faoláin

ethan usually came to the parties for all the free drinks. he was also no stranger to flirting but he wasn't the kind of guy who was into the more 'intimate' kind of stuff, still, that didn't really stop him from talking and flirting with as many people as he could humanely possible. the girl whom he was talking to already had a few too many and was nonstop giggling at the things he would say. ethan, himself, had already gotten himself into the alcohol but his tolerance to the stuff allowed him to stay standing strong but just a couple more and that shield of high alcohol tolerance would begin to fall.

the young man was just in the middle of telling some kind of story of something that happened in highschool when he spotted something in the corner of his eye. as he turned his head, he was met with the sight of stacy's new roommate, jamie. ethan felt himself tense up and he bit down quite hard and he was sure he was going to crack a tooth with the amount of pressure he was putting. goddamnit. ethan sighed pretty deeply. he had also spotted james nearby to, jamie and he had only caught a glimpse of, stacy, somewhere in the crowd, probably wandering off like she always did. as much as he wanted to ignore them, he really couldn't, the better side of him told him to at least acknowledge the arrival of his friends.

turning his attention from the girl to james, he quickly waved at the other young man in greeting. "been wondering when you guys would show up!"

Jamie Rose

Jamie watched as Stacy wandered off without a chance for her to follow. Her stomach sank as she looked up and made eye contact with Ethan. He was a good looking guy, she had to admit, though his personality was quite the opposite. After returning Ethan’s greeting, James looked at Jamie apologetically before leaving her with Ethan to locate Stacy.

Jamie looked up and locked eyes with Ethan. She could physically feel her heart speed up and thump in her eardrums over the loud music. She hated that she had gotten off on the wrong foot with him, when she was, in fact a people pleaser. She raised a hand, awkwardly offering a wave to him. She could tell he was tense by her arrival by the way his jaw clenched up.

James West

“Yeah man, you know how girls are,” James laughed nervously, looking around for Stacy. She’d wandered off, as per usual. “Hey I’ll be right back.” He said to the pair. He quickly shot an apologetic glance to Jamie, as he darted towards the direction Stacy had ran to. He needed to remind her that she dragged Jamie to this party, so she can’t just leave her. He just needed to find her, but who knew how long that would take?

bees?! · Oct 6th 2019

ethan Ó faoláin

as ethan's attention turned towards the newcomers, the girl who he was talking to had already left to go join up with her friends and now he was left alone with, jamie as james had left to go and find, stacy. great, what timing for those two to have just up and left. the young man sighed deeply. what was he supposed to do? he didn't want to really talk to, jamie but he also didn't exactly to leave her on her own, either. partly because there was some part of his conscious telling him not to and partly because he didn't want to get any sort of scolding from, stacy. with another long sigh, the young man walked up to, jamie. he didn't have much a choice.

"i see they managed to drag you along." ethan was still taking up the same sarcastic stance as he had taken up earlier. however, he seemed to be much more tame with what kind of words he was to choose and his attitude seemed to be tuned down, as well. he didn't exactly want to get chased away by her in the middle of a party with god knows how many people and he didn't want to end up chasing her away, either. mostly because he didn't want to face the consequences that came along with people watching him chase away the new girl. "you look a bit out of your element."

Jamie Rose

Jamie did her best not to look surprised as Ethan approached her. Earlier, he’d wanted nothing to do with her, and was quite hostile. In response to his words, she offered a weak smile. “Is it that obvious?” She laughed a bit. She tugged at the bottom of the crop top, trying to hide her midriff, but this only made her cleave appear more prominent. She was in a lose lose situation.

She took a deep breath before continuing. “I just wanted to say sorry, for earlier,” she said, barely audible over the music. Innocence was written all over her face as she looked up at Ethan. She decided to be the bigger person- she knew she didn’t have much of a choice but to at least try to get along with him, since it was clear pop ins to their dorm would be frequent.

bees?! · Oct 6th 2019

[i was thinking, if it's alright with you, that ethan probably gets a fight and jamie is the one who kinda like pulls him out of it?]

ethan Ó faoláin

ethan merely crossed his arms as he did his best to listen to her speak over the loud music. as he heard her apologize for earlier, ethan raised an eyebrow. in reality, he was probably the one who should have apologized but he wasn't about to admit it. "apology accepted, i guess." he wasn't quite sure what else there was to say. their introduction didn't exactly go off smooth and he was quite tense just talking to her right now due to what had happened. in fact, he was wondering when james and stacy would return to pull him out of this situation.

"stacy probably apologized on my behalf or somethin' after i left, didn't she? she usually does." it wasn't rare for stacy and/or james to have to apologize to the person he had gotten into argument with. he never felt the need for apologizing. sometimes because he just didn't care and sometimes because he just didn't want to have to own up to apologizing for something and ruining his whole tough guy image.

[[I like it!! I could set something up in this one, or if you have a different idea you can just ignore the second paragraph]]

Jamie Rose

Jamie nodded, smiling as she picked at her nails. “She seems like the mothering type,” she said, looking around at all the red solo cups that were filled with alcohol. A stranger walked up and shoved cups in both out hands “no empty hands at this party” they’d said before dancing away. I raised an eyebrow at the gesture. She didn’t usually drink at all, let alone drinks from a stranger. However, she couldn’t let Ethan think she was any more pitiful that he already did. She pressed the cup to her lips and let the harsh liquid slip down her throat. “Oh, God,” she whimpered, screwing her face up. “How do people drink this stuff?”

A guy brushed past Jamie, before turning and doing a double take. “Damn, girl,” he smirked, looking me up and down. “Why don’t you come and let me show you a good time?” Jamie’s eyes widened and her lips pursed. “Um, no thanks,” she shook her head, looking the other way and hoping he would leave. “Come on, you’d have more fun with me, anyway,” he grabbed my arm, not letting me go. I was genuinely beginning to grow afraid.

bees?! · Oct 7th 2019

ethan Ó faoláin

he did have to agree with her little statement about, stacy. she really was just that kind of person and he was positive almost everybody who knew her would agree. as the stranger who handed them cups of alcohol danced away, ethan looked down from his own cup and then to, jamie. he had already taken a drink from his cup as if it was water and grinned to himself at jamie's reaction to drinking the liquid. "you'll probably get used to it."

as ethan continued to drink a bit more from his cup, he watched as a stranger bumped into jamie a bit. he didn't think much of it until the guy began to harass her. ethan tried his best to get himself into the middle of the situation and glared knives through the stranger. "the girl said, no, take a hint, won't you?" even if things hadn't really escalated just yet, ethan could already feel himself tensing up and getting ready for a fight. he was no stranger to them, especially at parties.

Rosies · Oct 8th 2019

Jamie Rose

Jamie’s eyes widened at Ethan’s words. To say that she was shocked that he defended her would be an understatement. The stranger turned from Jamie until he was squared off with Ethan, narrowing his eyes. You could cut the tension in the room with a knife, and Jamie silently prayed a fight wouldn’t break out. “I guess you’re going to be the one to stop me?” The two were both standing with clenched fists, but all Jamie could do was stand and stare wide-eyed at them. She’d never been in a situation like this before, though, she’d never really been to a party before. Without giving a second though, the guy shoved Ethan’s shoulders.

bees?! · Oct 9th 2019

ethan Ó faoláin

ethan felt the rage that the other young man caused go through his body. then, the stranger had finally sealed the deal when he had shoved, ethan's shoulders. there was no hesitation as, ethan countered with a quick and swift punch to the other young male's face. as his fist connected to the side of the stranger's face, ethan could hear some reaction of those who were standing nearby but at this point, nothing could really stop him. ethan ended up grabbing the stranger by the collar of his shirt while he was still recovering from the blow to the face and shoved him towards the crowd who kept him from falling over. "come on, then. you wanna fight, don't you?"

Rosies · Oct 9th 2019

Jamie Rose

Jamie quickly brought her hand to her mouth, unable to speak at first. The guy pushed Ethan back just long enough to get a swing on him- which was unfortunate for him. There was a full fledge fight that broke out, causing a huge crowd to circle around Ethan and his victim.

She wanted to intervene, but she wasn’t sure how to without getting hit in the crossfire. “Ethan,” she yelled, not quite loud enough to be heard. She was growing frustrated, so she said his name louder and pulled at his arm right before he got another hit on the poor guy. Ethan had all but beaten him to a pulp, and from what Jamie could see, the main damage Ethan was carrying was a bloody lip. “Ethan please!” She pulled him with a bit more force.

bees?! · Oct 10th 2019

ethan Ó faoláin

ethan had been too taken over by anger to even realize that jamie had been trying to stop him. he had only stopped when she grabbed his arm. as she did, he was brought back into reality and looked at the bloody mess he had left the other young man. the crowd that had formed around the two had looks of horror but there were some who were also in awe. as ethan finally stopped hitting the stranger, he watched as what he could only conclude were the young man's friend come to his aid. the crowd, seeing that the fight was clearly over, dispersed and left the scene like nothing ever happened. ethan turned his attention to, jamie. "shouldn't have stopped me, guy like him deserves more than what i gave him." ethan glared at the wounded young man who was being pulled away by some of his friends.

Rosies · Oct 10th 2019

Jamie Rose

Jamie ignored Ethan’s insistence on continuing to bludgeon the guy, and grabbed his hands that were covered in cuts and blood. She could tell by the way the blood was surrounding the wound that it wasn’t just the stranger’s, but also his. “Ethan, you’re bleeding...” she said, concern filling her voice. “Where’s a bathroom? Let me help you get this clean.” Jamie’s tone was insistent, as though she wouldn’t take Ethan’s objection for an answer. She looked over her shoulder to see a couple walking out of a bathroom. She shuddered at the thought of what they could have been doing in there. Before Ethan had time to object she began pulling him towards the bathroom, where she could hopefully see better. Of course, she knew that she couldn’t hold Ethan in here against his will, but she was determined to try. “You didn’t have to do that,” she murmured, not taking her eyes off of Ethan’s busted hands. She wiped a little of the blood from his hand and looked up at him. “But I appreciate it.” She let a small smile spread across her lips, and she realized this is the closest she had been to Ethan. She was able to see the color of his eyes. She was sure that his piercing blue eyes alone were enough to captivate any girl he wanted. Including that blonde bimbo he was talking to when they first came in. Jamie laughed a bit to herself at the thought.

small bump!

bees?! · Oct 14th 2019

[thought i had replied yesterday, sorry!]

ethan Ó faoláin

ethan barley had anytime to have his own input as she pulled him away to go and clean up his bloody knuckles. he only listened as she spoke of him not having to step in which caused, ethan, to scoff, "yeah, well, i may be mean but i'll always stand up to assholes like that guy." ethan was still a bit wary about being around, jamie but he tried his best not to dig himself an even deeper hole than he had already dug. for the first time, ethan had actually met somebody who seemed willing to be nice to him, even after he had been rude towards them. most people ignored him after the first initial meeting and ethan never had a problem with that but this time, it was different. it didn't seem like he had chased her off, well, yet.

as he angled his head a bit to look a the shorter girl, he realized that they were standing a bit too close for his liking so he quietly tried to put some space in between them, pretending like he didn't notice the shift. "y'know, i'll be fine, right?" ethan was trying his best to get this whole thing over with but deep down, he didn't really want it end. he never really had a person care for him the way, jamie was. even if he had barely known her for a whole day, she was actually beginning to grow on him but god forbid he'd ever admit to that.

Rosies · Oct 14th 2019

[you’re okay :)]

Jamie Rose

Jamie rolled her eyes at him. “Your bleeding knuckles say otherwise.” She laughed a bit after her words. She continued cleaning the blood off, until the wound itself was showing. She could see that there was a bit of scarring around it, signaling this wasn’t his first fight— as though it weren’t obvious already. She furrowed her eyebrows in concern, but didn’t question it. Instead, she opted to change the subject. “You are mean though,” she laughed a bit, before continuing. I’m sorry that we get off on the wrong foot.” Deep down, she felt like he was the one that should be doing most of the apologizing, but she didn’t help the situation either. Her lips turned up into a half smile, as she finished cleaning up his hand. She wasn’t ready to get back to the party just yet, but she knew the time was coming, regardless.

bees?! · Oct 14th 2019

ethan Ó faoláin

ethan kept his mouth shut as she continued to try and clean up all the blood on his cut up knuckles. it didn't seem like he was going to stop her anytime soon so he just let her do her thing without much else to say. when she spoke of their first meeting, ethan didn't really have much of a reply. he knew he was probably the one who should have been apologizing but he kept silent, not saying anything. he hated to apologize and as much as he knew one was needed, he still wasn't about to give one. "yeah. whatever, though, that's in the past." ethan just seemed like he couldn't get himself to even as much as utter the word 'sorry'. "we should probably get outta here, not a terrible lot of bathrooms in this place, don't wanna keep people waiting."

Rosies · Oct 14th 2019

Jamie Rose

Jamie nodded her head, understanding. She let go of his hand and let it fall back to his side. She was almost hurt that he didn’t apologize, but he was right, it was in the past. “Yeah, I didn’t even get to finish that amazing drink,” she said sarcastically. She opened the door to see the same scene she had before. She felt a bit more comfortable with the fact that Ethan was around her. At least she didn’t have to worry about any frat boys hitting on her. “Where can I get another cup?” She asked Ethan. She just wanted to blend in, as best she could. Before Ethan could reply, she heard her name from across the house.

James West

For the first time since they departed, James spotted Jamie...and Ethan? Together? He waved his arms and called after them. “Hey, Jamie, Ethan!” He waited as the pair approached him and Stacy and the circle formed around a bottle. “7 Minutes in Heaven.” He said, answering Jamie’s thoughts. “You two should play— we just make fun of the embarrassed pairs.” He laughed, Stacy sitting on his lap. He saw Jamie’s eyebrow raise at the blonde girl Ethan had been talking to when they came in. “You should play, Ethan,” the stranger slurred. “The only rule is you can’t back out.” Shockingly enough, it wasn’t Ethan who spoke up first, but Jamie. “I’ll play.” James noticed the annoyed expression she gave the blonde, and he exchanged a glance with Stacy, shrugging.

bees?! · Oct 16th 2019

stacy smith

stacy was glad to see that ethan and jamie seemed to be getting along, especially after what had happened earlier. she didn't think too much of the two at each other's side, she was just glad that the two of them weren't arguing. when james spoke of the two of them just liking to make fun of the embarrassed pairs, stacy nodded and giggled in acknowledgement. stacy watched as the blonde stranger ethan had been speaking to earlier came up to invite, ethan to play but instead of ethan being the one to answer first, it was jamie. stacy blinked a few times in surprise and looked to ethan for his reaction.

ethan Ó faoláin

ethan was just about to answer, jamie's questions before the sound of both of their names being called cut him off. he followed jamie over to where, stacy and james were and quietly listened to what was going on. 7 minutes in heaven, as james had said. ethan had gone through this way too many times. lots of times he never really enjoyed it. before he could say something, the girl who he was just talking to earlier came up to invite, ethan. she seemed much more drunk than earlier. before ethan could even say anything, jamie had spoke first which left ethan silent for a moment but in the end, he'd answer, "i guess i'm in too."
