lauracup:

Yes, hi hello.  Me.  I’m in the market for a new trainer.

Really?? Okay, well, awesome! I’d love to help! What kind of goals do you have?

[itsrileyjo-blog]

theyearofthestar:

So no congrads, but how about a congratulacetions! 

That’s very exciting, Riley, and I hope you find a gym as well as clients soon! Are you hoping to specialize in any sort of specific training assignment?

Ah! I see what you do there! Good one.

Thanks so much! I actually have a few clients already - some of the acup girls had been asking me for a while now and I think they’re still interested. I mainly want to just help like...all over. I’m studying nutrition at school so I can get certified as a nutritionist as well. So like, help people lose weight and just improve themselves. I think I’d prefer one-on-one stuff versus group training, too, but I’m going to explore some more before I decide what I like.

TEXTS ✉ SUGAR ⇆ RILEY 🤠

SUGS: I totally get that. Not everyone knows what they want like I do. All i’m wanting is the unconditional love from a S/O so we can travel the world and be a power couple. But not a husband. I’m great at picking maids so if u need someone to vet one for u, Sugar Motta is your girl!!!

SUGS: OMG IF YOU LEARN LUCKY, I WILL SERIOUSLY DIE!!!!!!! that song is SUCH an emotional bop. I fully believe u could do an amazing cover. Please please please do it!!!!!!

SUGS: Same! I got lucky I didn’t have to repeat 6th grade and that it was just a little longer instead. Homeschooling in the summer should be illegal. Yeah, exactly!! Like school could be super awesome if they graded you on how much fun you’re having or something instead of on boring stuff. I totally should have guessed you were a sports lesbian, but like a cute one. Fiona said she did a lot of sports in HS and that’s what got her through it too. You guys are weirdly similar— Ur like Southern Fi.

SUGS: TBH like no one knows this besides my daddy and like my personal staff that i’ve had for a long time. And Serena does but that’s bc I can’t keep things from her. I like being my own person and know I’m super unique, but idk. repeating grades isn’t something peeps think that great about.

SUGS: Thanks for thinking i’m smart, Rils. That means like... a lot you think that. And that we’re not alone in this now. It’s always better when you have a friend to share things with. But you know then that means you ARE pretty smart too. Even though your parents pushed for college, you didn’t actually have to go. But did. And are sticking with it. That’s amazing and you’re kind of an inspiration! To me anyway. You’re gonna graduate and I’ll help make it happen!! if u need anything— school supplies, a secret paid for tutor, someone to practice speeches with or whatever happens in school, i’m totally here for u.

SUGS: Fast food salads are NOT the salads to be eating. Like I don’t pick salads often either but I will if it sounds amazing enough. Most of the time it seems silly to pay for pieces of leaves though, and that’s coming from me. I spent $2000 on a pizza once.

RILEY: Haha if I ever have the money for a maid, I'll get my advice right from you, Sugar Sugar, oh, honey honey.

RILEY: OKAY OKAY!!! I'd love that really so like I'm totally game! Just give me a little bit of time.

RILEY: It's weird that they don't really care how you do socially after like first grade. Socially I was doing so much better than most but no one cared. Of course I'm a sports lesbian! I'm pretty sure the only reason I didn't fail some classes was because of my sports status. Ha I'm not sure we're that alike though. Fiona's like a teacher and stuff. She teaches kids. I am basically a kid and I can only teach physical things. Like sports and fitness, not numbers. Definitely not letters.

RILEY: Yeah, I mean I'm open about my dyslexia and stuff, but I don't like talking about everything else. When you come from such a smart family, it's hard talking about it with them, too. So this is really nice.

RILEY: Oh my gosh Sugar...you're really being too sweet right now. I really don't even know what to say? No one's every called me an inspiration except for like #fitspo and...you're making me all flustered gosh. Thank you!!!! I really appreciate like everything you said. More than you know.

RILEY: Wow. What does a $2000 pizza even taste like???

[itsrileyjo-blog]

So, sorry for my absence. You know how after a semester ends, your adrenaline crashes around you? Yeah, mine crashed so hard and I got pretty sick and depressed, but I’m getting better and ready to make some awesome announcement that’s a long time coming!!!!!

Okay, so I still have a year of school left, so no conGRADs for me, BUT! I took my certification test and have officially passed the ACE test meaning I can start working professionally as a personal trainer!! I’m applying to some gyms right now, but I’m definitely willing to work with people privately. Just like...hit me up, yo. If you want.

RILEY: Hey

RILEY: Can we hang out again sometime soon? Maybe tonight?

[itsrileyjo-blog]

SPENCER: Okay, so we can do a solid outing of gym, movies, and snacks. It's like the cooler version of GTL Jersey Shore style.

SPENCER: I feel like we're the little puppies that are about to be abandoned on the side of the road, ngl.

SPENCER: You still game to live with me next semester?

RILEY: Exactly! Not that I ever watched Jersey Shore but that was gym tan laundry, right?

RILEY: Or like Oliver in Oliver and Company :(

RILEY: WHY DID NO ONE WANT OLIVER HE WAS THE CUTEST ONE!!!!!!!

RILEY: Obviously!

ELLIE: It makes me feel better because I know you're not the type of person to just... come out and say something like that to someone.

[ ... ]

ELLIE: It's not any of your business, but it also is. You're the key that brought us back together so I can see why things would be tough. I know we talk a lot of jokes about you being our daughter but I dunno. I feel like we let you down.

ELLIE: It's okay. I'm getting better with the way things are and are going to be so it's... whatever, I suppose.

ELLIE: How are you though? Depressing shit aside.

RILEY: Idk they always say you shouldn't stay in it for the kids, right? That doesn't help anyone.

RILEY: You can talk to me if you want, but I'm not really into the whole advice giving stuff.

[...]

RILEY: I don't know. I've been in a weird mood lately. I just snapped at Kitty out of nowhere. I don't know why...

RILEY: I'm just like tired of like everyone trying to tell me what I feel when I don't even know how I feel.

RILEY: I don't know, I'm probably just bummed because my best friends are all done with school and I have another year left so I can't even do the full time work I want to do.

KITTY: you're so dumb

KITTY: look, it's cool, and i get it -- everybody in the situation has feelings and maybe marley had some jackie flashbacks or wtv i'm really not interested in talking about it anymore

KITTY: i liked fiona too. like a lot more than i probably let her know. and i definitely backed off way before she got super serious with marley because i wasn't interested in losing to her again. so i'm not going to apologize for how i've handled myself in certain situations.

KITTY: we're like friends or something now. we're going to tswift and possibly singing together??

KITTY: let's all just move forward, okay?

[...]

KITTY: yeah, i get it

KITTY: and honestly, as far as romantic entanglements go, right now i'm definitely looking for someone who is more interested in me than in keeping the peace, you know? like, i'm ready to be the sole object of somebody's affection

KITTY: okay

KITTY: sorry, you're right

KITTY: i don't get how friendships work

RILEY: I know I am. You don't have to tell me.

RILEY: Fine, I get it. It's cool.

RILEY: I'm really happy you guys are getting along.

RILEY: Yeah of course. I mean I'm just dealing with like my sister being around again and not being out to her like it just makes it even harder to find any way to even talk to her since I can't be myself and she still knows like nothing about me.

RILEY: What I'm saying is I just couldn't be in a relationship anyways. And yeah you deserve someone who really can like worship you the way you deserve.

RILEY: Yeah well maybe you being friends with Marley will teach you how that stuff works. She's the best friend you could ever have.

[...]

RILEY: I'm sorry I was mean about it.

Kate: Water off a duck's back.

Kate: Thank you though.

Riley: You deserved an apology so it's no big deal.

[...]

Riley: I know this is super weird, but I know you're like going through some relationship stuff and I guess if you want like some third party person to talk to or whatever, I'm here? Obviously I don't expect you to take this offer, I just thought I'd let you know?

SPENCER: Maybe... maybe we can even go to the gym after our mega awesome movie night. We can make it a really special outing.

SPENCER: I know what you mean. I can't imagine living with anyone other than you all. It makes me sad. It's like an era is ending.

SPENCER: I say we have one final outing at BOTB or something to really celebrate the ending of our roommateship.

RILEY: Or maybe before, so we can just enjoy the movie and use our heating pads on our sore muscles to get extra extra cozy.

RILEY: I know :(. I can't believe it's over. No one should be allowed to graduate until we call can :(.

RILEY: Obviously!!

ELLIE: I understand completely. And I apologize for snapping at you. I've had a rough week and I instantly just saw red whenever I heard.

[ ... ]

ELLIE: If you want, you're more than welcome to vent about Sookie and I breaking up. I just would rather you do it to me whenever Kate has nothing to do with such things.

RILEY: It's okay. I deserved it. I didn't feel good about it and I apologized, if that helps you feel any better.

[...]

RILEY: Oh. Um, no, I'm fine. I feel weird complaining to you guys when I'm sure it's harder for you both than it is for me. It's not really my business or anything.

RILEY: I've had enough of listening to other people's love lives lately so like...I'm good lol. Thanks for the offer, though. And again, I'm sorry.

CHLOE: Which is why we need to make our own families... not in a procreate kind of way, of course, but in a surround ourselves with people who really care way.

CHLOE: I'm not sure. I don't generally expect people to believe me, I suppose.

RILEY: Definitely. And then, in the meantime, lie your ass off to your "real" family. At least in my case :/

RILEY: Well, most people are stupid. Generally.

TEXTS ✉ SUGAR ⇆ RILEY 🤠

SUGS: Carol had the right idea to have a maid when she had a million kids. I would not want to have to deal with them on my own while my husbands at work. Granted, I don’t want a husband either. Or kids. Just the maid, especially a cool one like Alice.

SUGS: That is an amazing choice, too. I should have known you’d have good taste in BritBrit covers. Don’t undersell yourself, Ry!! I just want to hear you play, and /then/ after that I can help you coordinate a whole rockstar show.

SUGS: A thing?? No, they were just best friends since childhood. I mean, are, but are also kind of going through a rough patch rn. That’s all. That’s probs what you’re seeing with Spencer at practice and stuff. She’s just missing her BFF.

SUGS: School just wasn’t for me. I did repeat Kindergarten since I just kept wanting to socialize with everyone instead. It was legit the first time I was in a room of peeps actually all my age?? So I was homeschooled, kind of tried real school again in 6th grade for half a year but finished it homeschooled instead which took longer. And then junior year I was finally able to actually get through a whole school year and senior year too. But I had already had to leave school enough times to know college wasn’t going to be anything fab for me.

SUGS: It is kind of nice to have someone kind of get what it’s like to not... idk, grow up at the same rate everyone else seemed to.

SUGS: Its super great that you were able to get into college and are actually getting through it too. I’ll totes go to your graduation ceremony 😙

SUGS: Thats such a smart idea, Rils!! That’s like business 101– advertise your better product to make the competition sweat. Whenever we get to the Championships, I’m so going to rent a billboard for the team. I bet April’s gonna love it too!!!!!!!

SUGS: I’m sure you’ll find a good restaurant. I would offer to help u pick but I only know the upscale places and that doesn’t seem like the kind of food you two would eat together tbh

RILEY: Lol I definitely don't want the husband part. I'm not really sure about this kid stuff yet, but definitely not the husband lol. I'd love a maid if she was as cool as Alice is tho.

RILEY: Lol thank you :). I'll totally show you my skills sometime! I'll try to learn some more Britney to cover. Like Lucky which is the number one Brit Brit song of all time.

RILEY: Ohhhhh.

RILEY: Really? I thought they were a...never mind haha

RILEY: I'm honestly amazed I didn't have to repeat any other grade. I guess I just got good at faking like I knew things until high school. But yeah, that totally makes sense. The best part of school was always socializing and like the activities and stuff. Call me a stereotype, but I played a ton of sports, including softball :P. I get it, really. Like, really.

RILEY: Definitely. Like, everyone else just seems so...I don't know, they tell me all the time that I'm still smart or whatever, but it never feels like they mean it.

RILEY: And you're smart and you still repeated a grade, so knowing you did...it's kind of nice? I'm not happy you went through that, but at least we aren't alone in this.

RILEY: Aw that's really sweet of you! I guess that explains your name :P. But that would be really nice. And hopefully I'll actually graduate. We'll see what the classes are like this next year D:.

RILEY: April will DIE over it, Sugar. You HAVE to do it!!!! It would make the whole team's life tbh.

RILEY: Haha no, I don't do the big upscale stuff. Like, no offense. I just love burgers and stuff. Or nice salads if they're actually like...good. Not like the fast food ones.

CHLOE: I get what you mean, things with my family, in general, are far too complicated.

CHLOE: Teaching takes patience I'm not sure I have, but the belief you have in me is definitely inspiring.

RILEY: Family stuff is just like...ugh. The worst. I'm sorry you have to go through that, though.

RILEY: Why wouldn't I believe in you?

queenserena:

It definitely says Laurel. There. Now you can rejoice in the knowledge that for once we agreed… Well, on something meaningless but still.

Okay, see, a smart person agrees with me! I’m sure we actually would agree on more stuff, but like...anyways IT’S TOTALLY LAUREL
