I needed emotional relief, so I drew my mc from the sweet elite

She is still a fox sly and nimble. She may or may not be a pain in the ass for Tadashi. Of course she won't bother him too much as she is aware of his efforts. Essy will also be happy to tell your tarot fortune! Not for free, obviously. A tasty treat or an extra hundred dollars to her account and you will get the most accurate tarot layout. Sometimes it even seems that she got into your head.. There's something exciting about it. Essy adores awkward baby Tegan! Gosh, have you seen him? She will definitely give him an ugly T-shirt or two

Hello! I'd like to know the main 5 boys (Sweet Elite) reaction if schoolar mentioned that she wants to leave Arlington. (If i can only request one character, i prefer Tegan) Hope you're doing well, kisses from Brazil 😘

It’s done! Beijinhos de Portugal <3

Masterlist

A/N: Anon didn’t specify why Scholar mentioned that so I decided that their decision to leave is motivated by insecurity.

Alistair Drew

> Alistair gets instantly worried when he hears that you even consider leaving the academy.

> Will talk to you and try to understand why you want to leave.

> Tries to comfort you and says how things won’t be the same if you leave as you are already part of the Arlington family.

> Alistair will compliment you non-stop, saying that you are talented and if you were accepted into Arlington it is because you deserve to be here.

> Honestly, he just wants you to follow your dreams and be the best version of yourself.

Axel

> Axel doesn’t really care about school, after all, he only attends Arlington because the law requires him to get a diploma. But you’re not like him, so he’s very shocked when you mention leaving.

> He knows how much your scholarship means to you and how important it is for you to get good grades.

> Axel will ask you to go to his room, so you two can sit down and he’ll ask what’s going on in your mind, asking if someone is messing with you, if you don’t like the school or if you feel like you don’t belong.

> Whatever is the case, he’s your biggest fan and will try to cheer up whoever he can.

> You two end up cuddling in his bed, while he caresses your hair and says that one of the reasons he hasn’t dropped out yet is you.

Tadashi Nakano

> As soon as he hears you mention that you want to leave Arlington, Tadashi feels very empathetic towards you. He, better than anyone else, can understand how competitive Arlington can be, to a point where it can get into your head.

> The first thing he does is ask how you are feeling, if you need anything or if you can do anything to help you. He just wants to be helpful.

> You two end up at the cafeteria, where Tadashi buys you a coffee and some pastries, while he insists on showing you the pros and cons of staying in Arlington.

> While he hides it better than the other boys, Tadashi is worried about you leaving. He’s already used to your presence and while he would never admit it, he doesn’t want to see you leave.

> Although he wants you to stay, so you can achieve your full potential, Tadashi wants you to be happy, and if you’re happier outside the academy, you should leave. He just wants the best for you, even if it kills him inside.

Tegan Novák

> He needs some moments to process what you just said. You want to...leave? Why?

> When you open up about your motives, He instantly relates with you. Tegan is also an insecure person, so he understands how it is to feel you're not good enough.

> It takes him some courage but in an act of bravery, Tegan takes your hand, rubbing his long fingers in the back of your hand.

> While he does that, he says how intimidating Arlington can be and that it's okay to feel like you don't belong.

> You two are both blushing when Tegan says that you are one of the smartest and important people he knows.

Tyler Williams

> When he first hears that you even think about leaving, he thinks you’re joking. He then recalls a conversation you two had some months prior, where you said that you would kill for opportunities like his, and then understands that you’re serious.

> He bombards you with questions, asking why, since when do you think about it, and if you already have plans to transfer to another school.

> Poor boy gets so stressed. He loves having you around and he would probably be heartbroken if you leave.

> Tyler would check up on you daily, asking if you are still considering leaving the academy or if you need something. He even sends you memes that he makes like “I may not show it 💯 but damn shawty, you are so important to me, I don’t know what I will do if you leave.”

> Every morning when you wake up, there’s a drawing of you that Tyler drew in class while you weren’t looking outside your door. All the drawings have the same thing written: “If you leave, who am I going to draw in class? Who’s gonna be my muse? - T.”

[otomes-and-tears]

Hi Bee ! With chapter 13 that just came out, we now know that Ellie and Tyler knew about Tegan's crush on Scholar, right ? I was wondering if you could write a scenario where he admit it to them i mean they probably forced him to spill the beans but still

A/N: One of my favourite things about otome is seeing the love interests interact with each other.

I don’t like when a game begins and ends on their relationship with the protagonist.

 I don’t like seeing the love interest’s lives revolving around a single character.

I like seeing how they interact with their friends, with their enemies, how their lives were before they met the MC and how their presence impacts them.

I think these types of scenes are just as important, if not more, than the romance itself.

With all that being said… I love the dynamic between TnT and Ellie and I will protect this little chaotic trio with my LIFE.

Btw, I usually do my requests in order, but I saw this on my asks and it was like I was slapped in the face with creativity. Thank you anon.

Tegan telling Tyler and Ellie about his crush on scholar

  “You seem distracted.” Ellie looks up from the blueprint on her desk to watch Tegan, a playful smirk on her face.

 More than a week has passed since Tadashi’s re-election and things had just started to get back to normal. There was still tension in the school’s halls about the Nakano scandal, but that was par for the course with such big news.

 Ellie had flooded their private group chat a couple of nights ago on an ungodly hour suggesting an elaborate prank on Tadashi. It was more of an excuse to provide some much-needed fun to their group of friends, so Tyler and Tegan jumped at the opportunity as soon as it presented itself.

 As usual, they met at Ellie’s room after classes and spent the last couple of days looking up materials and plans. 

They would use the Arlingtonator created by the Health Sciences Department as an inspiration to create their own version of the local cryptid just in time for Halloween.

Tyler was working on the creature’s final sketch, Ellie was studying one of her old blueprints as reference and Tegan... Well, Tegan was supposed to get a head start on the code. His laptop was open, but he was staring off into the distance.

Ellie’s comment pulled him out of his thoughts.

 “I’m just tired.” 

 He looked back into the screen, willing himself to just focus. 

Ellie’s smile just grew as she watched him squirming under her watchful eyes. Tegan was hiding something, and she had an inkling of what it might be about.

Making him talk would be fun.

 “That never stopped you before.” 

 Tyler stopped furiously sketching the monster to make that observation, eyeing his best friend suspiciously. 

 “Is there something in your mind, Teegs?” Ellie said, in a sing song-y voice. “Or… Someone?”

 The furious blush that emerged on his face was all the proof she needed. Tyler beamed at the confirmation, seemingly happy for his best friend.

 “N-No there isn’t anybody...” Tegan muttered, but one glance at his friends told him that it wasn’t convincing enough. “I—“

 “Don’t worry, bro. We’re not telling.” 

 Tyler’s smile turned gentle. As much as he liked teasing his best friend, Tegan looked a second away from exploding in embarrassment. 

Ellie nodded excitedly, momentarily forgetting their project. 

 “With that being said... It’s Scholar, isn’t it?”

 Tyler said, and Tegan hid his face in his hands with embarrassment. Ellie quickly extended a hand so the artist could high-five her.

 “Was I too obvious?” 

 The redhead asked, frustrated.

 “For us? yes.” 

 Ellie admits, with a smirk.

 “I’m not sure the others noticed yet if that makes you feel better.” Tyler quickly added. “So... Since when?”

 “The department competition, I guess? I’m not really sure...” He trailed off, the tips of his ears getting redder with embarrassment. “I always knew they were pretty, but... Seeing them presenting and being passionate about it...I....I don’t know, I started noticing them more. And now... I like them.”

 He was still refusing to make eye contact, but he stopped hiding his face, which was progress.

 Ellie left her desk to sit next to Tegan on the couch, being careful to let enough space in between them. When he got too deep in his own head it wasn’t uncommon for him to get startled easily. Tegan was more of a danger to himself, but Ellie was accidentally hit once and still wasn’t over it.

 “Hey, dude, we’re happy for you!”

 Tyler assured him.

 “Yeah! I don’t think I have ever seen you acting like this because of someone.” Only when he looks at her does Ellie take a risk and touches his arm. He doesn’t flinch nor flail, which is another good sign. “And Scholar is great! No need to feel embarrassed for liking them.”

 “I’m not embarrassed that I like them.” His voice is vulnerable, and both Tyler and Ellie quiet down to listen to him. Tegan isn’t this open often, and even if he’s talking about something silly as a crush the fact that he chose to share what he is feeling is a big deal. “I’m embarrassed because It’s hopeless. I know there is no way they’ll ever like me back...”

 “Why not?” Tyler seemed legitimately shocked at the idea. “You’re pretty cool, dude. If they don’t see that then they’re not worthy of your time.”

 “And besides... Scholar does seem interested.” 

 Ellie notes and looks at Tyler for confirmation, who agrees.

 “You think so?”

 They didn’t miss how hopeful Tegan sounded.

 “I do.”  

Ellie hugs him and Tyler soon follows. Tegan tenses at first but quickly relaxes, already somewhat used to his friends being affectionate.

“Can we please go back to the Arlingtonator now?”

[quindimart]

I've been thinking about opening up commissions for emotes/chibis, so I tried doing something to test the waters! Since the new SE ep just came out, I couldn't resist drawing my favorite nerd 🥺👉👈

[magaliroll]

Tegan: So, I heard you like bad boys.

Scholar: No, not really.

Tegan: Oh thank God!

[marycecilyy]

Maybe some headcanons or a one-shot of Tegan having a crush on a musical theatre actor/actress? 👉🏻👈🏻

I NEED THIS TO LIVE

YES YES YES!!!! 

Btw, I really struggled with deciding in which person it’d be, but I settled with you. I think it’s my favorite for this kind of stuff. Oh, and I really liked the nostalgic accent I put in the end. It’s like their relationship always starts with that phrase. 

You were a theater kid. No matter what you were doing, you always had an earphone attached to one of your ears, the only exception being during classes. Whenever Tegan spotted you, you were talking to Axel or Raquel, your closest friends from the main 10.

You and him didn’t talk much, the only times you interacted were when you all were reunited. Even so. Tegan couldn’t stop feeling flushed whenever you were nearby. 

He didn’t know if it was because of your intense and charming personality or your striking appearance, the only thing he was certain was that he had a crush on you. However, if it depended on him, he’d stay on the sidelines forever, hoping you’d notice him but doing nothing for that to happen.

Karolina would not let this happen, though.

She picked on Tegan’s crush on you very quickly and, even if you weren’t on the best terms, she was willing to be your cupid.

Tegan insisted, even begged for her to let him be, saying he’d eventually do something about it. Nevertheless, Karol went along with her plan. She knew Tegan would never be the first one to take the attitude and you barely spoke to him, so she was meant to be the one setting you two up.

For weeks, Karolina subtly prompted encounters between you two. In the beginning, Tegan was mortified (especially because he knew it was his sister’s doing) and could barely speak a word.

However, in one of those “random” situations, you asked him.

“...Are you wearing mismatched socks?”

And the rest… I’ll leave to your imaginations.

-x-

Bonus: You always found him cute and noticed how he stared at you, but you didn’t think he actually had a crush on you

Bonus 2: You’d frequently reassure him that, yes, you wanted to be with him and, no, you didn’t want a cool looking musical star. You always preferred the Jeremy’s over the Jakes, anyway.

SE Appreciation Week - Fic 1 (Karol route)

@sweeteliteweek Very late but I just barely ended this not so short fic.

This is Karol’s route imagining some moments like the airport goodbye and days later while they’re at home so Papa Scholar is also featuring. I couldn’t help but add a bit of Tegan too and I tried to put several ideas I had together on the same story. Hopefully the back and forth between present and past is not too confusing. I didn’t know how to name it so I just took a song I was listening to by Wilco that is really sweet if anyone wants to listen to it.

Jesus, Etc.

The familiar vibrant and noisy city was something Scholar hadn’t think she would miss during those months at Arlington’s. Especially not the noises from the neighbor from the floor above as she rowed with her husband for the third time tonight, the people pacing up and down the stairs, the kids playing, the pizza delivery guys and Misses Jones with her 5 dogs. She smirked thinking what Karolina would say if she heard all this noise and reminisced to when they met, smiling at the thought. She would be rich by now if she was given a dollar for each time she thought of Karolina since she got on the plane home.

 --------------------------------------------------------------

“That’s my plane, people! Enjoy the journey home!”, announced Tyler as he picked up his heavy luggage. He hadn’t explained what the heck he was carrying on his bags but Scholar assumed it was something artistic.

“Hey Tyler, don’t forget about tomorrow’s match! There will be a 30% buff bonus”, said Tegan.

“Oh man, I told you I have that thing with my parents. I’ll make it up to you later, promise”, replied Tyler.

“… ok”, said Tegan as he gave him a weak smile, clearly disappointed.

“Cheers!”, shouted Tyler as he ran towards gate A27.

Only Scholar, Tegan and Karolina remained in the departure lounge. Neither Tegan or Karolina seemed particularly happy of going home, in fact Tegan was staring at the floor as if he had just been told Christmas had been cancelled this year.

“Hey, maybe I could join? I am not very good at videogames to be honest but you can teach me”, said Scholar putting a hand on Tegan’s shoulder.

Tegan looked up and smiled blushing.

“S-sure, I think you’d make a great cleric”, Scholar had no idea what that meant but she hated the sad aspect Tegan had.

She noticed Karolina was staring at her direction, a curious look on her face. In that moment, she heard her flight being called.

“Well, I guess I have to go now”, she said to both of them.

Tegan nodded.

“I’ll call you tomorrow to set your PC ready for the match”.

“Sounds like a plan!”, she answered before giving him a quick hug.

As she let go of Tegan, she looked at Karolina, unsure on how to approach her. Scholar took a step in her direction, asking for permission, they had barely talked since the night of the basement

“… I-I… goodbye, Karolina. Enjoy the holidays”, she said with slight nervousness, waiting for an answer.

Karolina was biting her lip and seemed uneasy, as if she was making up her mind about something. She leaped forward and put her arms around Scholar. The girl let go of the breath she had unknowingly kept as she felt Karolina’s warm embrace.

“Let me know when you arrive home”, Scholar heard Karolina whisper close to her ear, her breath sending shivers down her spine. She then felt something touching her cheek, she froze when she realized it was Karolina’s lips. The touch was so soft, so slight that it could had just been Scholar’s imagination. They let go of the embrace and Scholar felt her heart sink at the idea of being apart from her so many days.

“I will, you too, please”, she answered. Both Karolina and Tegan nodded and Scholar took her luggage before parting…

 The following day, Scholar had to excuse to her father early because Tegan had opened an account for her in the game they were supposed to play, in fact he had even customized her character based on a number of questions he had asked, many of which Scholar wasn’t sure how to answer. As she started her PC and positioned on her seat, she could not help but feel excited, seeing Tegan through the webcam meant also, perhaps, seeing her as well. Tegan’s face as he logged in had a mixture of sadness, exhaustion and defeat, he didn’t have Karolina’s ability of putting on a straight face, Scholar didn’t want to push an answer out so she didn’t ask. They spent a couple of hours playing, Scholar died way too many times in pure noob style but Tegan didn’t mind, in fact he laughed each time as she panicked when the other players surrounded her with attacks.

“Thank you, Scholar. You made my day”, Tegan told her after the match was over.

“I’m glad, I had a great time even though I clearly suck for this…”, she answered giggling. Tegan laughed as well, he covered his mouth whenever he laughed and Scholar thought it was cute but sad at the same time how insecure he could be at times, even among his friends.

“… She’s busy talking to mom and dad, by the way”, Tegan added after a while, “in case you were wondering.”

“Oh… it’s ok. Is everything alright?”, Scholar asked concerned, to be honest their parents didn’t exactly sound like the kind that understood and supported their children.

“They didn’t take well all that happened in FAXION, I almost didn’t login for the game but she wanted me to let her handle it on her own”, answered Tegan, “she didn’t want me blowing up and them… “, he paused, “… doesn’t matter, I will take care of her now.”

“She’s a tough girl, she worries about you too”, said Scholar, “let me know if you need anything”

“Of course, thanks again. I will tell her you say ‘hi’ ”, said Tegan before closing the session.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scholar sighed as she wondered how things had gone back at the twins’ house, hoping they were ok. The days that had followed to gaming night not much had happened. Tyler spammed them with funny selfies from the Red Carpet of God knows which movie his parents had taken him to, Tadashi and Alistair sent photos with the Drews, especially the dogs at Axel’s request, and Claire and Neha exchanged recipes for Christmas season. But barely anything from Karolina, still the fact Tegan kept sending memes mocking how bad she was at gaming was oddly comforting.

“Honey, I’m home, can you give me a hand with the bags?”, called Papa Scholar’s voice.

“Sure, dad, coming!”, answered Scholar and she walked towards the kitchen.

The bags were full of materials for her father’s famous pasta recipe but this time with a twist: he had agreed on incorporating one of Claire's many recipes. Both of them prepared everything for their movie night. Afterwards, they settled in the living room as they picked a title. They decided on one of the old movies that Scholar’s father loved “Pride and Prejudice”. Scholar had tried to get his father to watch the newer adaptation of the story but it had been pointless, the 1995 version was the one her mother loved and in a way for him watching the movie again meant reliving the joyful moments they passed together. Scholar had seen it too a handful of times yet this time it felt different, she felt connected not only because it had been her mom’s favorite movie but because the situation was now all too familiar. The pride and prejudice dance.

“You keep looking at your cell phone, expecting someone’s message?”, Papa Scholar asked as he arched an eyebrow.

“N-no, just checking the hour”, Scholar tried to reply, unconvincingly.

“Hmm, don’t forget I was your age once and fell in love at your age too”, the kind man answered giving her a warm smile.

But before Scholar could reply, they heard the alert of a new message coming in. Scholar jumped at the sound and widened her eyes at the name that appeared on the screen: “Karolina”. She quickly unlocked the cell phone, almost dropping it due to the urgency. Not paying attention to her father’s laugh at her clumsy movements, she opened the message:

Karolina: Are you awake?

Scholar: Yes, hi…

Karolina: Can I call you?

Scholar’s heart drop at her message. Almost three days without a message from her and now here she was asking for a call. She really did take that “best way to win someone is to surprise them” to the bone.

“Sorry, dad. Could we drop it here? A friend from Arlington wants to talk to me”

“Don’t worry, girl. Go call your friend”, she really did have the best dad.

 Scholar practically ran towards her room and texted her back.

Scholar: Sure.

Immediately her phone was vibrating and ringing. She answered almost as a reflex.

“Karolina?”, started Scholar, trying not to sound too excited.

“… Did I interrupt you?”, asked Karolina. Her voice on the phone was something Scholar couldn’t had foreseen would make her feel weak on the knees.

“No, uhm, I was just finishing watching a movie with my dad”

“Was it one of those cheesy old movies your dad likes?”, Karolina asked on a mocking tone. Wow, she had really paid attention…

“Ha, yeah. Pride and Prejudice… because you know how much I’m into the hate to love trope”, she blurted out surprising herself. Was it too bold to hint at ‘them’ like that? What was it about Karolina that it made her go rogue often.

Silence.

“… yes, I know”, Karolina answered. Scholar wondered, hoped, if Karolina was blushing.

“And what are you doing?”

“Our parents threw a party”

“Wow, sounds like fun.”

“It’s just the usual winter party they throw every year ”

“I’ve never been into a party like that”

“Of course not”, Karolina blurted out, “… I didn’t mean it to sound like that, I-I don’t think you’re missing anything”

“Karolina, not that I mind but why are you talking to me instead of enjoying yourself out there?”

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karolina was standing in front of the wall mirror of her bedroom. Her new pine green dress matched perfectly the emerald earrings her father had bought her last year as well as the red lipstick. Everything fit together

“Miss, they are waiting for you downstairs”, the maid called after softly knocking the door.

Karolina took her purse and proceeded towards the lobby, across the dining room and into the garden. The surrounding people dressed in etiquette, the tables and the exquisite centerpieces seemed all surreal. She felt disconnected to this usual display of frivolity and superfluous social interactions, greeting people with a fake smile and pretending to care about the chit-chat. These people who if given the chance would rather see them in ruins.

At dinner, she sat with a couple of acquaintances, girls she had known since her childhood, the type her parents considered ‘appropriate’ but could never truly be friends. Her mind drifted elsewhere, back to the chalet, the sensation of safety, of being seen for the first time through the façade of her strong petty attitude, the possibility of being just ‘Karol’. She excused herself as the girls looked at her questioningly, stood up and walked behind a couple of bushes seeking some privacy.

“I heard she is going down her mother’s route”, she heard a voice say from behind the bushes.

“Her scandal at FAXION was disastrous, everyone has been talking about it”, followed another voice.

“Honestly, does it surprise anyone? It was a wonder she got this far”, said a third voice.

Karolina felt the anger and hurt built inside her, she was about to turn around and face whoever felt they had the right to talk behind her back in her own house when her cellphone vibrated. She took out her cellphone and noticed Scholar had sent a message to the group thanking Claire for the last recipe attaching also a photo of Scholar and her father cooking. She smiled at how happy they seemed and got lost in the sparkle of her eyes. She bit her lip debating on whether or not to message her… Screw it.

------------------------------------------------------------------

 “… Hmm, Karolina, is everything ok? Can you still hear me”, Scholar asked.

“Yes, I-I just … “, Karolina answered.

“You know you can tell me anything”, Scholar said, “how is everything with your parents?”

She heard Karolina sighed.

“Not good but I’d rather not talk about it”

“I’m sorry about that but it’s fine, what do you want to talk about then?”

“Nothing really, I was just bored, this party is obnoxious”, Scholar’s heart skipped a beat at her words, does she just miss me?

“I see…”, Scholar said. With her heart palpitating like crazy and the excitement of talking to Karolina she couldn’t hold back her emotions and she added, “… I miss you too.”

“I never said… you’re right, I do”, Scholar smirked. Karolina admitting her feelings was so refreshing; Scholar would need one of Neha’s teas to calm down the butterflies in her stomach.

“So dull party, huh? Should I be thankful I didn’t get invited?”, followed Scholar.

“I don’t find this type of parties endearing anymore”

“What? Hanging out with me is harming your social standards”

“Haha, you wished. I’ve never liked these parties but it was a good opportunity to meet important people”

“Oh, did you meet anyone interesting this time?”

“No, I found out that people are still talking about my FAXION fiasco”, Scholar felt her blood boil at that.

“They did? I wished I could beat some sense into that people”,

Karolina chuckled.

“Hey, I don’t mind. It’s better if they talk about me, free publicity. Besides we technically won.”

“That you did, you two were amazing, seriously no one could rival Neha’s designs. Also, you looked so beautiful and classy… even though you weren’t feeling well, you pulled that off despite everything. I can only imagine the big things you’ll do in the near future”

“You’re sweet. But remember I could steal your third place in the Gold Tier if you’re not careful”

“Oh Miss Novakova, we’ll see about that, we could bet to me beating you up in the finals”, were they flirting for real this time?, Scholar thought.

“You’re not taking me to the cafeteria again, are you?”, oh they definitely were.

“Hmm how about taking you to the gardens? Like a picnic?”, oh god, was she asking her on a date?!

“Hmmm… ok, deal”, Scholar heard Karolina answer. She did just ask Karolina on a date and she said yes!

“Deal”, wow. But this time she wouldn’t let Karolina say it wasn’t a date.

She heard Karolina laugh on the other end and it made her grin like an idiot, she wondered if Karolina was blushing furiously like she was.

“Thank you, by the way”, Karolina said after a brief silence.

“For what?”

“Helping my brother stay calm. You didn’t have to do that”

“I’m glad to help, he’s a dear friend and it killed me to see him so sad”

“He has been happier considering…”, Scholar assumed she meant with whatever was going on in their house. She wished she could do more.

“And you? Feeling better?”, Scholar asked.

“Much better”,

“I’m glad. I’m here for you, always”

“I know, I’m here for you too”, her voice sounded soft, to think about how much had happened for them to get to this point.

“I have to hang up now, we’ll talk soon”, Karolina added.

“Oh ok, of course, go back to the party”, she didn’t know what to say, she could had kept talking to her all holidays if she could.

“Good night… Oh, and watch out your door tomorrow”, Karolina said with a curious tone in her voice, almost nervous.

“Tomorrow? What happens tomorrow?”, Scholar asked confused.

“J-just pay attention, ugh. I have to go now.”

“Ok, ok, I will do. Good night, Karolina”, and with that she was left with the usual cellphone tone.

 The following day was Christmas’ Eve. To say she had spent the morning ecstatic was an understatement. She kept circling around the call she had with Karolina, the fact she had asked her out on a date and whatever she meant by watching out for her door. Her dad was surprised that out of all the friends she had made at Arlington it was actually Karolina whom she had a crush on (she had to tell him since she couldn’t hide her joy).

“My first guess was that girl Claire who kindly gave us the recipes for Christmas dinner”, Papa Scholar said as he found out about the source of her daughter’s disturbance.

“Funny you guessed Claire, dad”, sighed Scholar remembering the fatal mistletoe incident.

“Why funny?”

“Oh dad, it’s just… a long story”, Scholar said.

“Well, I have to say that Karolina girl is drop dead gorgeous and if you say she is nicer to you, I believe you. When can you invite her here?”

“Dad! We’re not even… I mean, we almost … kissed b-but …”

They were interrupted by a knock on the door.

“I’ll get it”, said Papa Scholar.

“Actually dad, can you let me check who it is?”, jumped Scholar as she headed to the door.

She peaked from the door peephole. On the other side there was a guy looking like a delivery man.

“H-hello? Who is it?”, Scholar asked.

“Good afternoon, I have a delivery for a person named Scholar”, the guy answered from the other side.

Scholar opened the door, the man was carrying a golden plastic bag with a red bow on the outside.

“Hi, I’m Scholar”

“Oh great, I’m supposed to deliver this”, he handed her the bag, “please sign here… and here”

Scholar did as he requested and looked at the bag, it looked very elegant for a plastic bag.

“Thank you, merry Christmas, ma’am”

“Thank you too, merry Christmas!”

Scholar walked towards the living room holding the odd bag on her right hand. She took a seat on the couch and placed the bag on top of the table, slowly opening it. There was a card and a small black box on the inside. She took out the small box and opened it being startled by its content. It was an astonishing silver necklace with a sapphire pendant on the center, tiny diamonds seemed to surround the almost heart-shaped figure of the pendant. Papa Scholar couldn’t believe his eyes either, he got the card out and gasped.

“Honey, you need to read the card, look”, Papa Scholar said as he handed it out for her.

Scholar took the card in her shaky hands and opened it carefully:

“Hopefully this starts your way into the better fashion sense you desperately need… Merry Christmas, Karolina”

Scholar lost no time and rushed to get her cellphone. Please answer, please answer, she thought as she heard the dialing tone.

“Hi”, she heard Karolina’s voice answer.

“I-I-… Oh god, I-I can’t even… It’s so beautiful!”, Scholar tried to say forgetting how to speak.

“I am glad you like it.”

“I just… wow… thank you! How did you know where I live?”

“Uh-oh, guess who, Scholar”, she heard Tegan’s voice say.

“Y-you! From the time we played together… should had figured. “, Scholar said laughing.

“You got me, hehe. I’ll give Karol back her cell phone. Merry Christmas!”

“Merry Christmas, Tegan!”

“I am sorry I had to ask him”

“Don’t be sorry, I love it”, Scholar said, almost as much as I love you, she thought, “I didn’t get you anything for Christmas, I feel awful, you went through all this and I-“

“I don’t need you to get me anything, just everything you’ve done for me and … how much I … I can’t tell you on the phone, ok?”, Karolina said.

“… s-sure. Thank you so much, Karol”, was it the first time she called her Karol out loud?

“Besides I already feel like I have my Christmas gift… Anyway, our father is calling us. Merry Christmas, Scholar”

“Merry Christmas, Karol”, Scholar replied and added, “I… you know I do too, for a while now if I’m honest.”

“I kind of knew but didn’t want to see it… Enjoy your night”

“Y-you too. Bye”.

 This was definitely the best Christmas she could had ever imagined, she only wished she could had thanked her in person but soon, very soon they will be able to figure it out.

Team Name

Viktoria, after she and Ellie have teamed up on video games against TnT for a few rounds: okay, we need a team name that sounds cool but also fits both of us. Ellie: what about chaos cats? Tegan, under his breath: More like chaos caterpillars since you’re both so tiny Ellie: /: Viktoria: you know what? That’s exactly what we’ll do! Come on Ellie, we have T-shirts to make! Later Tyler: If I had any self-preservation left I would be too afraid to ask. Ellie: Blame Tegan. Tyler: What did Tegan d— Viktoria: wiggles threateningly
