Who: Jessica and West
When: Afternoon
Where: Jessica's house
Warnings: NSFW

When West received Jessica's text, asking him to sneak over to see her, he waffled, but only for a second. Obviously her parents weren't home, but he worried about them coming home while he was there, and then she'd be totally busted. That concern lasted about half a second though, because it wasn't like he was going to say no to her. They hadn't seen each other in a few days, and West was just as eager, if not more so, to hang with her.

( Don't you think we could be friends with benefits? )

Who: West and Mac
When: Afternoon
Where: Mac's house

With Jessica still grounded, West was finding boredom pretty difficult to overcome. He'd played basketball nearly everyday since school had ended, he hung out with his friends, kept up with the errands his mom continually sent him on, and worked but... it was really the same. He missed hanging with Jess, but until she got ungrounded, or just snuck out of the house, there wasn't much he could do about it.

So that afternoon, after waking up, eating and taking a quick shower, West sat down in his desk chair and went through his list of contacts for someone to bug. It didn't take long before he was sending a message to Mac. hey! what're you up to? West had no idea if she was hanging out with M, or what, so he didn't want to sound overly desperate to do something with her right away,

( I've wingmanned for the best! )

Who: Mac and West
When: afternoon
Where: Super Smooth

Mac still felt uneasy. Granted, it had only been a day or two since she and Emmanuel had ... well ... encountered a monster. That would be enough to make anybody uneasy, right? Still, she didn't like the jittery, nervous, always-checking-out-the-window feeling. Even though they'd been understanding and concerned, she also couldn't help but feel like her parents thought she'd imagined it all. She'd conveniently cut M out of the story altogether, and had told them she'd been in the back yard alone. Not making out with her boyfriend while they weren't home. But nothing else had happened, so she wasn't sure if they were honestly taking her seriously.

Pacing around her room, she felt like she needed to get out and away somewhere. Most of the friends she'd texted already were busy or just not the company she really wanted. Eventually she hit West's number and decided to give him a try. hey there, she sent. what r u up 2?

( Guys aren't allowed to use the word fabulous )

Who: Emmanuel and West
Where: West's house
When: Evening

If it were anyone else, it would've been a phone call. Emmanuel was still tired, despite having spent all afternoon since he'd half-heard Mac slip out and head home, and a good chunk of time before, fast asleep at home. When he got up, he found his father had come home from the fields early, too, and was sitting zoned out in front of the television with Emily snoozing on his lap and their mother hovering in the kitchen anxiously. So it apparently wasn't just him, and he'd wanted to find out who else was having the problem.

But phone calls didn't work when you took forever to put together a full sentence, so he piled into the car and drove into town, heading for his cousin's house first. He climbed out sluggishly and plodded up to the front door to knock, smoothing his hair down with a hand. It had been a little wild when he got up, and he hadn't done a lot to try and tame it in his attempt to get out the door. Oh, well.

( Speculation. )

Who: Jessica and West
When: just after lunch/noon
Where: West's house

Jessica still couldn't believe hers and Jordan's insanely good luck. She was feeling particularly happy in the wake of their most likely having destroyed Cian's car. And without getting caught. So far anyway. She knew there would be some kind of flak for the incident, considering Cian would point his finger squarely in her direction whenever he reported the incident to the authorities. But it wasn't anything Daddy couldn't get them out of, she was sure of it.

She'd tried to keep to Jordan's advice and keep the entire thing between the two of them, but she was just bursting with the desire to share her retribution with someone who wasn't her twin. And the first person she thought of besides her cousin was West. She'd thought about including him in the whole plan in the first place... but it was better it had just been the girls instead. Still, she couldn't not tell him!

( Please tell me you didn't commit a felony or anything. )

Who: Torin and West
When: afternoon
Where: the music store

West had spent most of the day debating over whether or not he should go to Cian's party. Everyone he knew was going to be there, except for Jessica and Jordan, obviously, so that was really the only thing keeping him from making a definite decision. He didn't want to piss Jessica off by going to a party thrown by her ex, but on the other hand, if he didn't go, he'd probably have nothing to do that night, since everyone would be over on the island. He thought maybe he could call or text her and see if she wanted to hang out, but he'd been doing that a lot lately since she and Cian broke up, and he didn't want to come across as too eager - or desperate.

So he was out now, in the small music shop, trying to find something new to buy, or potentially buy for Jessica. He'd have to steer clear of emo music, or anything that could be construed as mushy, in case she got the wrong idea. Then again, maybe he wanted her to get the wrong idea, because the wrong idea was more or less the right idea. West scanned the row of newly released music, shaking his head at his own stupidity. His mom was starting to get annoyed with West's crush on Jessica as it was, given they were earth and she was fire, and it just didn't make sense. But he didn't care, at least not at the moment.

( you scared me )

Who: West and Mac
When: midday
Where: Juicy Java

Mac was having a faboo day. She'd had a faboo evening the night before and a faboo night, and a faboo morning too. So all was well in MacLand. It was probably silly to be so excited over a boy, but she couldn't help it. M had kissed her. More than once, and it was awesome. They were going to date. Or at least have one. She didn't know when it would be or anything, but still! Date! With Emmanuel! Which was an event that required shopping! It was something she loved to do anyway, but doing it with something in mind was even better. So Mac hit up the mall.

Once her stomach was protesting, she and her bags walked down the way to Juicy Java, a dimpled smile firmly in place. It wasn't terribly busy, but she lingered near the door inside, eyes raking over the menu. So much of it sounded good, she wasn't sure what she wanted.

( Like you need another reason to think about boobs )

Who: Shoel and West
Where: Vapor
When: Evening

It was still fairly early in the night, and of course Shoel and Dax had gotten separated. It had pretty much been inevitable. But since they were hardly dating, Shoel expected she didn't need to spend the whole night with him, anyhow. So she took herself around, wandering through the large crowd of people with her virgin margarita and her twin pigtails, striped stockings, and cheerful red skirt. Oddly enough, she didn't even look that out of place, though she probably would've really stood out at school.

Pausing to take a sip from her drink, she looked up at the ribbons on the ceiling-- she was on the second story now, where all the big, metal "trees" were-- and wondered if they were supposed to look like clouds, leaves, or vines for swinging from. The fact that she was standing stock still in the middle of a dancefloor as she thought this didn't really occur to her.

( And how avoid scary men in dresses. )

Who: West & Jessica
When: Evening
Where: Vapor!

Jessica felt beyond beautiful in her strapless red party dress and matching strappy heels. She'd done her hair in loose curls and decided to go a little heavier on her makeup than usual, but without looking like a tramp. Her toes and fingers were done in pale pink, because too much red would be overkill.

Above all, Jess felt that she was much too beautiful to be standing in line to get into a club, and she was having a hard time being patient. She continually pulled her phone out of her purse to check it for text messages or missed calls from her sister or cousin, fixed her hair adjusted her dress and checked her makeup in her compact. Once they were closer to the door she hung onto West's arm and pointed inside. "Just look in there! Oh my God it looks amazing. I so should've coordinated this better so Jordan and Chrissy could've been here with me too. Now I'm going to have to find both of them and try to get their brains off all the boys long enough to gossip with me."

( it was definitely nice to see him make a real effort about his appearance since he only really had that boyish charm thing going for him. )

Who: West and Cian
When: Early afternoon
Where: Basketball courts

West knew that it was the day of Vapor's re-opening, and he knew he had to find something decent to wear for Jessica before nightfall, but he refused to be one of those guys who stayed home and tried on every freaking shirt he had in his closet. All he knew was that she wanted him to do something with his messy hair, which was a piece of cake. And West knew if Jess didn't like what he chose to wear, she'd tell him to change - and he would. At the moment, though, Jessica was the last thing on West's mind. He had gotten up late and then had gotten a text for some more basketball, and West was never one to turn down a game.

He and several guys from the neighborhood, and the basketball team, were shooting hoops at the park. By one o'clock, West was sweaty and had a couple scrapes on his knees from being knocked down onto the pavement. But basketball was a physical game, and he loved it anyway.

( you're getting a little personal, bro )

Who: West and Chrissy
When: Evening
Where: the streets

It had been a damn good day, between hanging out with Emmaline, and talking to Jessica about Saturday, West was feeling pretty good himself. He had headed over to a friend's house after Jessica returned home, but rather than drive his crappy car, he walked. That was one of the nice things about Darkwater... it might take you a few extra minutes, but you could walk from Point A to Point B without much trouble - unless you wanted to go to the Island, of course.

It was dark out night, and he was heading back home when he decided to cut through the park. He sort of wished he'd brought his basketball so he could shoot a few hoops - nighttime or not - it was better than getting home and being asked to do a million things by his mom.

(  I change my type in boys more often than I change clothes babe and that's usually two or three times a day. )

Who: West and Emmaline
When: Late afternoon
Where: Emmaline's house/Mini Golfing

West had spent the rest of the afternoon playing basketball at the court with a few guys from school, in a pretty fine mood at that, given he had a date with Jessica. A sorta date anyway, since he was pretty sure she just wanted someone to take her to Vapor, rather than it being anything romantic. He tried not to let his brain get too occupied with thoughts of her, since that was pretty damn pathetic, and around four, West returned home sweaty and grimy, and headed straight for the shower with the intent to make a huge fucking sandwich to scarf down once he was washed up and dressed in clean clothes.

( bonding )

Who: West and Jessica
When: Morning
Where: West's house

Since it was summer, West considered it his god given right to sleep in well past when he ought to be up and moving around. Unfortunately, not all of his friends thought so, and West's phone went off around ten with a text demanding he get his ass out of bed and meet them at the court to play some basketball. He thought about ignoring it, but after a few moments of lazy contemplation, he decided he'd rather play basketball than snore under his sheets for a few more hours.

( back up date was better than no date at all )
