Random Shopping (1,209 views)

Shyanne huffed as she examined the makeup pallets before her. There was the Naked 3 pallet, the one she wanted! She looked at the color, and couldn’t help but think that some of the shades would look good as the base colors in her eye makeup come homecoming…

She swabbed a few of the colors onto her hand with the little plastic testing strips to compare them. She held her hand up to the light and admired the way that the shadows sparkled and glistened in the light. Yup, she was most certainly buying this!

Shyanne thought she spotted Chase over by the menswear section of the store and held up her nose in case he happened to look over. She honestly didn’t linger long enough to know if it had been him. But what was important was to ensure that if he did happen to see her she looked completely involved in her own world.

Shyanne spotted the perfumes and walked over to them, taking the little strips they offered for samples and spritzing a bit of the perfumes on them. She took a few sniffs and went through several of the perfumes, finding that she liked a fruity one that resembled strawberries best. And then she decided that since she had a super bad day, she was allowed to get two things, so she asked one of the salesmen to grab her a spritzer.



(( LUCAAAAS. USE HIM THENNNNNNNN. I NEEEEEEEED A RYAN BASED CHARACTER AHHHH. HELL BE SO GOOD. ))

Shyanne was content where she was, sniffing the perfumes and deciding which one she wanted. Once she had the pallet and the perfume she wanted to buy in her hands she was about to head up to the register when she heard a familiar voice. Less than a half hour ago, his voice made her want to giggle and flirt but now just made her want to roll her eyes.

”Uhm, excuse me? What do you know about makeup? Clearly you have no idea how good these pallets are.” Shyanne asked, in her you’re-such-a-loser-idiot tone. The colors in the Naked pallets might not be super flashy, but they weren’t meant to be obnoxiously bright. Like, who on earth walked around with a super bright eyeshadow? Eyeshadows in Shyanne’s opinion were best applied to be softer, perhaps with a hint of boldness and a wing, to bring out the brightness of your eyes and accent the outfit you were wearing. It certainly was not understated. She narrowed her eyes over at Chase. Why was he over here?

Oh, right, because he simply couldn’t stay away from. He had messed up obviously, but she knew that he was still totally interested in her and was going to try to interact with her anyway. Shyanne loved the attention and of course figured that must be the only reason, after all, what reason did Chase have for coming to the Sephora section of JC Penny’s?

”And like, why are you following me? Are you a loser-puppy, now?”


(( BOP BOP BOP, BOP TO THE TOP!!!!!

DO IT. DOOOO IT. NO TURNING BACK. AND HE’LL BE IN SHYANNE’S HOUSE TOO. DOOOO IT. ))

Shyanne sneered over at Chase. Who the heck did he think he was, coming over here and trying to tell her what would better work with her eyes! Even if he sounded like he was making valid points Shyanne refused to believe him—she watched plenty of makeup tutorials on youtube that knew way more about makeup than this guy ever would! Unless he was like, gay.

Shyanne scoffed.

”What, like you’re some kind of expert? That’s so gay.” Shyanne snapped. Besides, even if she didn’t use the colors in the Naked pallet, all that mattered was that she had the pallet! ”I don’t need advice from a drag queen. Now shoo, I actually want to look good when I wear makeup!”

Clearly, Chase was just saying these things to try to get her not to buy the pallet and ruin her day even further! As Chase said he’d cut through to the other side of the store, Shyanne rolled her eyes overdramatically. ”Then do it! I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”

She was purposefully raising her voice, as though she might be able to lure an employee of Sephora over to ask if everything was okay. For now, though, no one had arrived and it was just them, ignoring Chase flashing a smile over at some skank on the other side of the door, which was returned by the girl when she saw him look over.


(( WE DO NEED A RYAN. I NEED A RYAN. MAAAAKE HIM ))

At the happy comeback, Shyanne rolled her eyes. Ugh, like she hadn’t heard that one before! Everyone thought they were so cool when they came back to her with that but Shyanne didn’t really care and she knew the both of them knew what she really meant. In fact, she supposed that even if this guy was hot, he wouldn’t be worth keeping around if he had the nerve to disagree with her! Shyanne needed someone to accompany her who wouldn’t stand up to her, and who would just fawn over her like she deserved.

Shyanne heard his last comment and turned around to stick her tongue out at Chase very childishly, as he headed over to some girl who was clearly not as cute as Shyanne was. Shyanne eyed the girl he went to up and down. She was a brunette, with too much makeup on her face and eyes that were blue rather than brown. Shyanne grit her teeth together as she judged the other girl’s outfit of every flaw it had, her face for every inch of makeup not properly applied. Shyanne confirmed her suspicions that that girl was obviously a skank, and turned around with her nose in the air as she returned to the makeup pallets, looking down at the one in her hands. She then wandered back over to the pallet. Her eyes bounced to the sparkily pinks and light colors, once again thinking about how dumb Chase had been to say this pallet wasn’t good!

She took one of the sample brushes and dabbed a bit of the pink combined with the color next to it onto her hand, laying them next to each other. She then held her hand up to her eyes, picturing what it would look like. It’d look amazing! He was so wrong! She was buying this and not letting him make her second guess her opinion any longer!

Shyanne huffed and strut right past Chase and the skank (as she’d named the girl), going towards the register. She mentioned she’d like to buy these, while she pulled out her credit card.

Meanwhile, the girl standing with Chase saw Shyanne go by and giggled when Chase stopped to talk to her.

“Like, what’s her issue?” the other girl said, obviously knowing that Chase had just come from her side. Shyanne kept her head up as she purchased her perfume and pallet.



(( Yaaay! I can’t wait to see him! : D Let me know if you want to plot anything as you’re working on him! ))

Shyanne finished purchasing her perfume and pallet, her nose still held in the air as she then started to walk out of the store. She made it a point not to look back at Chase even though she knew that he was looking at her (as was the girl next to him). That guy could go hit on whatever girls he wanted at the mall. What kind of a weird guy had to pick up girls while they were minding their own business and wandering around the mall anyway!! Ugh, it wasn’t like Shyanne cared.

Shyanne walked down the aisle of the mall, her hair billowing behind her. She had a smile on her face as she waved to a few cute guys—all of whom she decided were probably better than Chase even though she’d been the asshole in that situation—coming to a stop outside of a window display.

It was a Macy’s ad—with Ashley Tisdale on the front! Shyanne’s eyes immediately lit up as she saw her idol in front of her and she squealed a little, doing an excited little giggle as she didn’t even ponder what Ashley was modeling for before she walked in. She was modeling some kind of clothing line! Shyanne headed into the store, where she saw Ashley’s face again, and realized she was modeling a new clothing line. Shyanne decided to browse for Ashley’s sake, and didn’t notice as she bumped into someone heading down the way she was.

”Oof! I’m sorry!” Shyanne said. What was with her bumping into people today?! Did people not look where they were going? Rude! ”You’re like, right in the way of Ashley’s ad.”

-

The girl cast a judgmental look over at Shyanne as the girl left, then glanced over at Chase.

“Was she your girlfriend or something?” She asked, as she watched the girl pause outside of Macy’s, which was only a few feet away from JC Penny’s. The girl squealed and went into the store before the other girl just turned around towards Chase. “Seems awfully shallow to me.”



(( You could! I kinda set it up so you could bring in Rylan and have him be the one she bumped into… haha… I always make people bump into each other! Oh, and as for Chase, if you want I can play the random girl and they can go to the Macy’s together, and then something could happen that forces Shyanne, Chase, and Rylan to interact. Maybe the escalator they happen to be on at the same time could stall or something! Or maybe they keep bumping into each other at the store and it turns into a fully sort of instance of they keep running into each other and glare at each other when they see each other. I know Shyanne would probably drag Rylan around and make sure to always be in Chase’s line of sight… xDD ))

Shyanne looked up at the bot who had bumped into her, prepared to do her usual judging to see if he looked cute or was ugly, when she looked him up and down and her jaw dropped. This guy… he wasn’t just cute—he looked like someone important! Someone SUPER important! His mannerisms were wrong and he didn’t exactly scream confident Broadway star like Lucas, but he looked just like him! Though she knew it couldn’t be the actual him, with the way he didn’t look completely panicked at being seen by a pedestrian like Shyanne.

”OhmyGOSH! Has anyone ever told you that you look like Lucas Grabeel?! You’re, like, super cute!” Shyanne said, not even caring if she scared this guy off. What, like he would run away? Who cared! All that mattered was that Shyanne saw him right here and he looked like one of her idols. When the boy said he was distracted by Ashley, she giggled. ”You like Ashley Tisdale too? She’s like, my favorite actress, I remember watching her on Disney channel! She played my favorite character ever, Sharpay, and she’s totally the reason I’m in he Metric program for singing and acting!”

As she spoke, Shyanne twirled a few strands of hair between her fingers, beaming up at Rylan with a natural smile on her face. She decided this Ryan lookalike deserved to know her name, you know, because his face was so reminiscent of one of her idols. ”I’m Shyanne Volle.”

-

The girl shrugged her shoulders as she heard Chase’s response to her question.

“Well yeah—you came into the store together and then got into a fight. Looked like a couple to me. But if you say you’re not, I buy it.” She said, shooting a more flirtatious smile in his direction. “Are you here shopping for anything in particular? I mean, in this store?”




(( Oh perfect!!

And yeah, that kind of sucks – oh, I could bring in another character in my next post to interact with him if you’d like! That way I can write of the random character and bring in one of interacting value to give Chase someone to interact with! ))

”Your inspiration, huh? And you’re a fan of High School Musical?!” Shyanne asked, giddy. She rarely found a fellow fan of that here! Well, not to the extend she was. Sure, she’d met a few people in her classes who had watched the movies and liked them but they didn’t love it like she did. Shyanne had posters in her room of the cast, all of the merchandise she could get her manicured fingers on, and all of the songs from all three movies on her iPhone, in chronological order, separated by playlists. ”Oh my gosh, really?! SAME! I saw the movie, the first one, and that made me want to preform! I’m going to play Sharpay one day, hopefully on a Broadway show! And we’re the same major!! Oh my Gosh, this is super cool!”

Shyanne giggled again at Rylan’s name. It was so much like Ryan! She immediately know that this guy had to be her friend! She needed a friend to watch High School Musical with! None of her friends wanted to so all the time Shyanne would just watch it alone in her house’s living room area while her housemates did whatever it was they wanted elsewhere.

”Rylan! Even your name is similar! You totally are like, the Ryan to my Sharpay!” She said, ”I like Ry! I’ll call you that!”

-x-

The girl shrugged her shoulders.

“Oh. I think my dad’s buddy’s client goes there… or something, he’s a model! The Homecoming thing, right? Good luck finding clothes for that. I hear everyone who goes to that school is made of money.” The girl said. She then furrowed her brow and spotted a very tall someone approaching her and snorted. “Speak of the devil. That’s the guy who goes there. Todd Bennett, have you ever met him?”

Todd came to a stop beside the two, blinking.

”Oh, hi!” he said, waving at Chase. He knew Gavin’s friend’s daughter, but he didn’t know Chase. ”Er… n—nice to meet you!”



(( Nah I love bringing in more characters! xD This way we both get to write an important character. I think Chase will appreciate Todd’s company much more than Shyanne’s. xDDD ))

At Rylan’s question, Shyanne’s grin grew. Aww, he was shier than she thought he’d be! It was kind of cute, and literally perfect for the person who would be the Ryan to her Sharpay. After all, Ryan was Sharpay’s secondhand man, not the other way around!

”Of course I wanna be friends! Oh, when you move into your house tell me which one it is so that I can see!” She said, wondering how far away from her he’d be. She wondered if he’d be filling the spot that the other boys who had left the academy and used to live in her house had vacated. She hoped so! She needed a friend to gush about High School Musical to, and if they were in the same house how perfect would that be!

When Rylan said he wanted to play Ryan on Broadway Shyanne gasped.

”Well duh! Of course! Who else would be the perfect Ryan! We should so preform together in a production of it! Or at least rehearse together! You should compare schedules with me when you find yours!”

-x-

Todd smiled at Chase, hearing some of the conversation previous. Or well… at least enough to know that Chase attended metric, like him, and was looking for an outfit to wear! Which meant he was in the same boat as Todd! Todd was trying to find a good way to coordinate with his date… and unfortunately he’d been having very limited luck thus far.

”Yeah I go to metric, too…” Todd said, ”Did you say you were looking for something to wear, too? So am I… I haven’t had very much luck so far. I’m a model, but uhm… usually other people pick my clothes for me… s—so…”

The girl smiled and looked from Todd to Chase.

“Well, if you’re both looking for an outfit, how about you look together? I mean, Todd probably knows more about the dress code than me, I wouldn’t be much help!” She said.


(( xDD I don’t blame him after what happened, I’d be in the same boat! ))

”Oh really? I haven’t memorized them yet because I haven’t really gone on stage to know the dances. But I know the gist! I need to learn the dance moves – I mean, I know all the words, like, basically! And I love Bop To the Top! It’s one of my favorites! I’ll dance with you!”

Shyanne wondered if Rylan took a dancing class, too – that might make sense, with how he said he knew the dance moves. Shyanne was in one small dance class. She wasn’t exactly obsessed with the dancing, but she had to take it for her dream! She liked to dance but make up her own moves—which sometimes didn’t go over as well as the choreography went. She was already excited at the concept of singing karaoke and having sleepovers at Rylan’s house when he mentioned which one he lived in and she gasped.

”OH EM GEE! That’s my house!” Shyanne said, her excitement level rising. ”You’re replacing the two creeps who I got kicked out a while ago. They like, left the school. Which is super good because I would so rather have another talented person living with me, rather than those losers.”

Shyanne flipped her hair back behind her head, getting it out of her way as she took Rylan’s schedule and began to look it over.

-x-

Todd appreciated that Chase seemed pretty nice. And he was going to help him out – help was something Todd could definitely use right now. Niko had told him that she was wearing a black and bright pink dress, but Todd wasn’t sure what to get. A bright pink shirt and black tie would look tacky… he wasn’t sure if they made bright pink ties… he sighed as he returned his focus on Chase.

”Yeah! I mean… well, I just don’t want to embarrass her, you know?” Todd laughed somewhat nervously, turning towards the girl as she smiled up at Chase.

“Oh yeah! I’ll be around. My name’s Isabelle. I come here a lot when I get paid to shop. Sometimes I shop with him and my dad’s buddy.” Isabelle nudged towards Todd, before looking back at Chase. She hesitated before she wrote down a number on a scrap piece of paper, handed it to him, and winked. “Since you’re not dating that hot mess, give me a call sometime, okay?”



(( YEAH DO IT. I love enemy/rival relationships… they’re my favorite! ))

”Whaaaat? Is your sister like, a couch potato?! Dancing is literally the best form of exercise out there!” Shyanne said matter-of-factily. She might not be right from a doctor’s perspective, there might be more efficient ways of working out, but to Shyanne dancing was the fun way! She had to do plenty of working out for the cheerleading squad, which was so bring sometimes, but moving around to the beat of a song? That was so much fun! Who wouldn’t prefer that manner of exercising to any other manner?

So she supposed she’d have to dance with Rylan – but then again it wouldn’t be a chore! It’d be fun! Besides she’d always wanted to learn Bop to the Top! She wondered if the theater program at Metric would object to them requesting a performance of High School Musical! Though she’d have to be Sharpay, and obviously Rylan would have to be Ryan!

”OMG, we could have like, late night parties and watch HSM DVDs with popcorn!! I have all of the DVDs, even the mini-spinoffs!” She said happily. Oh, and they could also practice the dance steps in the living room area of their house! She was already getting so excited! They’d easily dictate the house now. Perhaps they’d be lucky and find themselves with more fans of HSM – or people who at least kept their wrong opinions about it to themselves. She was so pumped to find someone not put off by the best musical in existence, like Chase!

When he commented on the loser creeps, Shyanne made a face.

”Not really. They were these two gross looking gay guys who just made out and like, had sex when I was in the house. It was disgusting!” Shyanne said, her voice coming off as more whining than anything. But now that they were gone, she knew Rylan wouldn’t do anything like that! So even if they did get another perverse housemate, it wouldn’t be as bad as having a gay couple that did nothing but have sex as housemates.

-x-

Todd laughed nervously as Chase spoke, knowing he was right. He shouldn’t be so nervous! But… he really didn’t want to disappoint Niko. As Isabelle and Chase talked and she gave Chase her number, Todd glanced at his own phone, reading the message he’d gotten from Niko detailing the color of her dress again. She hadn’t sent a picture – he assured her it was fine if she wanted to keep it a surprise. Though… he hoped he didn’t not match at all…

He waved goodbye to Isabelle as she left, and she waved back, following Chase towards the men’s department. Todd had to be impressed – he could never do something so smooth as just meet a girl and then get her number…

”That was, uhm, are you… are you good with girls?” He asked, wondering if Chase had a date yet and if he was looking to coordinate, too. Todd glanced at the formal wear in the men’s section, eyeing everything warily.




(( WOOO YAY, PERFECT!!

MAKE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE. xD I know the feeling though! The temptation to make characters is too real… sometimes listening to music can be particularly inspiring! I will channel some of my brainpower to you to help you think of ideas! ))

”I totally know what it’s like to have a sibling that’s not like you, like, at all! My brother is literally the lamest person who’s like, ever been born. So I guess you just absorbed all of the cool points from your siblings! Like, that’s what I did to Steven.” Shyanne said, smiling over at Rylan. She would love to have a brother more like Rylan – then she’d really have a Ryan just like Sharpay did! If only Steven and Rylan could, like, switch places or families or something. Kind of like that show wife swap, but with brothers.

”DUH!!! Of course! You still have the games?! Aww, I used to play those when I was younger! I wanna play them again! And plus, like, I love personality quizzes!” Shyanne said. Though some might consider the hobby childish, Shyanne loved to buy teen magazines at the store and do all those who-is-your-soulmate type games and quizzes.

When Rylan apologized for asking, Shyanne didn’t see it as him being nervous about the subject matter and instead just him apologizing for stirring up bad memories. She liked him already, if he was going to apologize for doing things no matter how trivial. It made Shyanne feel superior in a way… which it really shouldn’t have.

”Yeah, like, it was so disgusting. Like I don’t need to hear that. It’s completely rude.” Shyanne said, rolling her eyes as she pointed to a few of the classes on Rylan’s schedule. ”But anyway look! We have the same theater class, right here! And this vocal class—I think that’s my class! I don’t know about the gen eds because like, I barely pay attention. I only care about the core stuff anyway!”

-x-

Todd nodded along to Chase as he spoke, his eyes briefly moving away from the other male as he scanned a few of the suits. Some of them looked fancy… way too fancy for homecoming. He didn’t want to go overdressed, but he didn’t want to be underdressed either. Come to think of it, Niko never mentioned how fancy or elegant her dress would be…

He blinked in response to Chase’s advice.

”O—Oh! Haha, no, no my date she’s uhm, she’s just a friend. She’s a model like I am, we work together… well, a—a lot, and I thought maybe I’d just ask her… but I’m really nervous anyway… I don’t want to embarrass her…” He exhaled, as though to calm his nerves, as he looked at the jackets Chase was glancing over. Since he’d taken Isabelle’s number Todd was certain Chase didn’t have a significantly important date, right? He smiled at Chase. ”I wish I was really charismatic, or funny like that… but I get nervous about saying jokes, what if I don’t believe them right? I’m really bad at that. Do you… not have a date?”



(( OOOOOOOH THAT SOUNDS SUPER INTERESTING!

You could always only make one or two of them, and keep some references to the others as family! Or you could open it up to other people to see if they want to play other roles though if you have ideas for them it might be hard to let others take control – so you could just keep the positions the same in the friend group but open up the roles to others. Or just make a bunch of characters! xD Obviously lots of us have a bunch of characters… cough… me…

Either way I love that idea and if you wanna do that I’d be eager to see them! ))

Shyanne looked over her shoulder and gave Rylan a challenging sort of look, like she was weighing out his answer, before she hummed and shrugged her shoulders. He didn’t say he was cool? That was like, not the way to get into the cool crowd! You had to own coolness, reek confidence – at least that was the mentality that Shyanne had solidified ever since she came to the school. Rylan was lucky that she already liked him and wasn’t going to leave him high and dry! No, she’d help him out! Out of the kindness of her heart. Or maybe it was out of desperation for her to maintain the perfect ‘Ryan’ she just found… well, whenever it was, Rylan had lucked out!

”Uh, like, if you don’t think you’re cool, no one will. So you gotta act the part! But I guess that’s why I’m here, right! To like, teach you! And help you. Like, by the time I’m through with you, you’ll be radiating cool!” Shyanne said, smiling at the end of her sentence. ”Ooooh!! You should bring them or like, let me go over to play them! I wanna play the games no. My daddy never let me save them He says they’re childish but like, he has no idea what he’s talking about.”

As she spoke of her father, Shyanne made a face, which quickly changed to happier one when Rylan mentioned a friendly face. ”Well duh!! You need to, like, sit next to me in all of the classes. I’ll make sure you’re popular! I know my way around the in crowd, you know!”

-x-

When Chase implied the possibility of him being more than friends with Niko Todd’s entire face blushed red as he sputtered for a response, knowing he was losing ‘cool points’ by the second. He was only friends with Niko! There really wasn’t anything else, at least, not on the surface. Todd fumbled with the fabric of one of the jackets he was looking at, trying to calm his face down, not wanting to look like an idiot in front of this guy he’d just met! Chase seemed awfully nice and he didn’t want to put him off by being… weird.

Todd cleared his throat and didn’t make eye contact with Chase, keeping his head turned as he examined the fabric in front of him.

”W—well, I, we’re really just friends… er… I—I mean that’s the only reason we’re going together.” Todd said, laughing along to the shy act comment even though Todd knew his ‘shy guy’ act really wasn’t an act at all. He was just extremely, painfully, awkwardly shy and he wished he could get a little less annoying about it. He also tried to think that he didn’t feel slightly saddened after saying his previous sentence for some reason.

”Oh, yeah, I think that a dance for a first date might be… awkward… especially since Isabelle… doesn’t really go to Metric.” Todd said, having to admire Chase’s courage to go alone. Ever since Todd had been friends with Amy and Max, he never went stag. He was usually Max’s date, but this time around he’d taken a leap of faith and asked Niko… he laughed a little when Chase said girls liked to talk. ”Well, you’re not wrong. My friends really love to talk… and talk… uhh… If… if I see you at the dance, I’ll come say hi! And introduce you to, uh, my friends, too. They’re very friendly.”

Todd glanced at Chase. He wondered if he was Max’s type? He didn’t entertain the thought for too long before he found himself staring at the jacket Chase was looking at.



(( Yeah, that is a lot of characters to make at once! You could always just keep the aspects about each of them you want and make one character that has a few combined things! Or just start out with one and maybe if you want to bring in more later. Whatever inspires you/is easier for you! ))

”Well duh!” Shyanne said, as though it was no big deal to make him popular. Which it really wasn’t. Sure, Rylan was kind of a pushover from what Shyanne was seeing so far, but she loved that in a friend! Someone who didn’t mind doing everything she wanted to do, listening to her, agreeing with her! He was literally the perfect Ryan so far. ”Every school has a popular clique, Rylan, that’s literally like just, logic. And you’re going to be a part of this one! Like, I don’t associate with the unpopular, and you seem like you’ll fit in just fine!”

Shyanne was pleased to hear the shock and excited tone with which Rylan asked her if it’d be acceptable for them to sit together and work together.

”Well of course! I want someone who, like, actually takes the class seriously next to me. As a future star I like, can’t be surrounded by nobodies who aren’t any good at what they do. And this is so good because like, we can do homework at the same time and stuff, together, in our house!”

-x-

Todd nodded along to Chase’s words, the other male having a point. Though Todd didn’t really want to think about any of that now… even if he did let himself think that way about Niko wouldn’t it be weird? They worked together.

”You’re right, though. I mean, m—maybe.” Todd finally admitted, now fully examining the jacket that Chase was looking at. ”Yeah. My friends are really nice! But also really outgoing, so I mean, they talk a lot. But they’re really amazing people! All of them…”

Todd fingered the fabric of the jacket, tilting his head to the side.

”I think this is cool… the material feels kind of warm though. I mean, if you’re going to be indoors all day, you’d want a jacket that’s thinner… right?”



(( Oh yeah, I get you on that. xD If you’re not feeling particularly inspired I’d wait until inspiration strikes! But I know the urge to make more characters grows when others do. I’m sure you’ll get inspired soon!

You could always make a teacher, if that’s inspiring at all. Currently I’m working on a biography for the headmaster of Metric. ))

”Perfect! Because with my group of friends you’re gonna have to. But like, if you’re good at your art like anyone who’s following Ryan’s footsteps should be, you will fit in! See, even though we have a popular clique going on here, part of staying in it is, like, actually having talent.” Shyanne emphasized, walking slightly ahead of Rylan as she started to lead the way towards the products Ashley was advertising, which were a few feet down the aisle of the store. ”Being good at a talent in this school is kind of like getting, like, respect. You can be pretty and smart or whatever, but everyone here isn’t here to just hang out and get any old diploma. If you don’t have a talent, you’re not worth anyone’s time. Because we, here, are all heading out to bigger and better things! I guarantee the second everyone sees you and I dominate the stage, we will command all of the respect we could ever wish for!”

Shyanne contently hummed as she lifted the fabrics of a dress she saw, running the material through her fingers.

”I am so excited! I hope no one else moves into our house – oh, unless it’s a hot boy! Or a girl who likes High School Musical too! Like, I don’t wanna waste my time with people who don’t. But I’d prefer it just be us! Because then we can have movie and rehearsal nights late as we want, and we won’t have to worry about any annoyed people telling us to be quiet! Like, how rude would that be to us? We so deserve better.”

-x-

”Thanks. I’ll try.” Todd said, taking a deep breath as his cheeks finally lost the majority of the pink coloring that had flowered there. He wondered about hints… he supposed one of his suitemates was good with women, but he was also kind of a heartbreaker. Todd didn’t really want advice from him. He guessed if he wanted advice from anyone it’d probably be Chase, who seemed smooth but also respectful… at least, in the short span of time that Todd had known him for.

Todd nodded firmly along as he looked at the jacket Chase was eyeing, glad that Chase agreed with his comments. When Chase mentioned he must know a lot about cloths, Todd shrugged.

”Well… yeah. I’m a model, so I mean, I wear clothing like this all the time. So… so I know a lot about the market. But the jacket is really cool looking! I was just letting you know. Oh… If… if you’re curious about the place homecoming’s going to be at, it’s in the dance studio. The dance studio has AC, but it’s not turned on at night or at this time of year, really. So I guess you’d probably want to wear a jacket a little thinner, maybe with uh… well, I mean, if you want to style, you could always put on a flashy vest underneath. Then even if you do get hot, you could take off your jacket… and still stand out. I mean, it seems like that’s the look you’re going for. Right?”



(( Oh inspiration, come to Lori!! I’ll do a rain dance for you!

Oh I’m the same way, yet I make teachers. xDD After all someone’s gotta so there’s a balance of teachers and students here! And yeah there is, at an Academy like this there’s gotta be someone in charge! I just decided I should probably make a biography for him so that it’s easier for referencing and stuff like that. ))
