Young, Dumb, & Broke
Tumblr media
Word Count: 1.3k
Pairing: Tom Holland x Reader
Summary: You just graduated high school and were ready to embark on your last summer of being a dumb teen and going on adventures before having to face the realities of the adult world. One day you were driving to a lake to meet some of your friends when your car broke down in the middle of nowhere. With no service and no gas stations around you wandered a little down the street and found one house where you went to ask for help. You expected to find an old couple living in the middle of nowhere, but a nice young British guy (Tom) answered the door. Due to unforeseen circumstances you spend the rest of the afternoon and most of the night together, but when it’s time to leave he says he wants to see you again. You exchange numbers with the cute British guy and embark on a long, secretive summer fling. You both lie about what you do for a living and what you were both doing in the middle of nowhere, but the moments you too bonded were all genuine. Will he find out about your plans after summer? Will you find out what he actually does for a living? Will this fling extend past summer?

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4
Chapter 5
You endured through your 8 hour shift without saying much to any of your co-workers. You would usually jump at any opportunity to tell your best friend about what happened to you, but to be completely honest you were still hurt about what happened the night of the bonfire. She quickly caught on that you were giving her the silent treatment and asked the manager to move her position for the day. You weren’t going to lie, it fucking sucked feeling like your best friend didn’t give a shit about you. You knew you only had about half an hour left of work at the restaurant and luckily you got to clock out before the big afternoon wave. You didn’t want to admit it to yourself but you were really excited about being able to see Tom again. The two of you had made plans for just around sunset, which gave you enough time to get home and get yourself ready and go out with him in an actually decent cute outfit.
“Table 8 got customers,” your manager said to you, snapping you out of your daydream.
You nodded and walked over to table 8. At it were two beautifully stunning women. You handed them two menus and smiled.
“Hi I’m Y/N I’ll be your server this afternoon, can I get you guys started on anything? Drinks?”
The two women gave each other a sneaky smile.
“Um we’re waiting for three of our friends they’ll be here in like 30 to 45 minutes. Can we just order drinks and like a small appetizer and then fully order when they get here?”
“Yeah that’s fine. Unfortunately, I’m clocking out in about 30 minutes so if they don’t get here by then my co-worker Brenda will take their orders.”
They looked at each other slightly disappointed.
“Okay I’ll take a Sprite. You Z?”
“I’ll take a coke. What would you recommend for the appetizer? My friend here Laura is lactose intolerant so it can’t be the mozzarella sticks unfortunately.”
“Honestly I think we have really good garlic bread. It’s handmade and comes with this amazing homemade marinara sauce.”
“I trust you Y/N, we’ll have an order of that.”
You wrote it down on your order pad and smiled.
“I’ll bring those drinks right out to you.”
You got the drinks for them and took it to them. They were both smiling and giggling before you walked to their table but stopped as soon as you got there.
“Hey Y/N are you from around here?” the one her friend called Z asked you.
“Yeah I am. Not too far from here.”
“Do you know where we can get some really good Mexican food? Not that this restaurant isn’t amazing already but a girl needs her burrito fix sometimes.”
“Yes I do actually!” you said taking out your order notepad, “I can write the address for you guys. They have the best salsas there, no joke.”
You ripped the paper and handed it to them.
“Y/N you are a lifesaver. The best waitress we’ve encountered here so far.”
You wrote your name on the paper and smiled.
“I know the owner, if you mention me and order the deluxe salsa and chips she’ll give you the salsa she usually saves for her regular customers.”
“You’re a real one,” the girl named Laura said smiling at you.
You walked back over to the registers where you heard the cooks gossiping about some people.
“Yeah they’re part of the thing that shut down all of downtown!” the main cooks said.
“Wait who?” you said sticking your head in the window that connected the kitchen and the register.
“The girls on 8. They’re actresses.”
You made a surprised face. They seemed so nice and genuine. The cook slid you a plate with garlic breads and a bowl with marinara sauce. You grabbed it and took it back to the girls.
“Here you are girls. Unfortunately, I am clocking out for the afternoon so my co-worker Brenda will be helping you from here on out.”
“Aw man! We were hoping to introduce our new friend to our friends, but I guess they’re taking longer than expected. Well it was nice to meet you Y/N, we will definitely be back here to see you again.”
“I’ll be here all summer,” you said smiling at them.
They handed you a 50-dollar bill.
“From two former waitresses who know how much doing this sucks. You are one of the good ones.”
You smiled at them and put it in your pocket.
“Thank you ladies. I hope you’re enjoying my city and I look forward to seeing you both again.”
You walked to the backroom and clocked out. You were going to leave out of the front like you always do but you didn’t want to risk seeing your “best friend” so you left out the backdoor. You got into your car and drove home with a huge smile on your face.
A few hours later you were dressed and doing your makeup. You didn’t want to overdo it so you did some natural looking makeup. You finished by 5:30, an hour before you were supposed to go get Tom. You went downstairs to make yourself busy, but came face to face with your mom bringing her luggage inside.
“There you are,” she said locking the front door.
You froze on the last step of your stairs.
“Didn’t realize you were back.”
“Came home as soon as I heard the voicemail you left me.”
“But you didn’t think to call me or text me or maybe ask what happened?”
“I came home didn’t I?”
You sighed and started climbing up the stairs again.
“Well it was taken care of so you shouldn’t have.”
“What do you mean?”
You didn’t answer and went upstairs to grab your bag and a jacket. You came back down to your mom standing at the bottom of the stairs checking all her bank statements.
“What do you mean it’s taken care of, I don’t have a charge on the card?”
You grabbed the car keys off the table next to the front door.
“I took care of it, alone. Again. I’m going out, don’t wait up for me.”
Before she could say anything you walked out the door, and took off in your car.
You arrived at Tom’s house about 30 minutes earlier than you were supposed to be there. You were going to call him but then remembered this was a dead zone in terms of phone signal. You parked your car in his driveway and went to knock on the front door. You heard footsteps, and suddenly a shirtless Tom with a towel wrapped around his waist opened the door. You’d seen him shirtless before, I mean you guys were in the pool late at night, but this time it really caught you off guard. You looked up at the ceiling and apologized.
“Shit sorry, I just uhh left my house a little earlier so I got here earlier and I was gonna call you but um- “
“Yeah no service, that’s fine. I was just getting out of the shower. Come on in.”
You walked behind him, still refusing to look at him. You were trying to hide how flustered you felt.
“Are you ok?”
You sat on the couch and looked at your feet.
“Yeah why?”
“You just haven’t looked at me,” he said laughing.
“I, uh, didn’t know if you wanted me to so.”
“I don’t mind.”
You looked at him as he stood there with a cheeky grin on his face.
“Go get ready Holland!” you said throwing a couch pillow at him.
“I’m just saying if you feel inclined to end the date early, be my guest.”
You gave him a fake shocked expression.
“You’d have to be lucky enough to get at least 4 or 5 dates before that Holland,” you said winking at him playfully.
“Oh look forward to it baby,” he said before disappearing up the stairs.
What a flirty little shit.

“Gallery walk” the @whateverJewel interview
Tumblr media
Man, what can I say about Jewel? @whateverjewel is an independent artist that currently resides in the Washington, DC and attends Howard University. From the time I laid eyes on Jewel in 2015 in the pre-calculus class we shared, (if you are reading this FUCK YOU MS. VALENT) I knew she was someone special. Something about her draws people to her. With a smile that will brighten a room Jewel is nothing short of a superstar, and I have felt this way since before I even knew she was an artist. Her approach to art is simply amazing. She has built a grassroots following of people who genuinely enjoy seeing how her work progresses and what the final product will look like. The work she does isn't just dope as fuck, many of her pieces have some type of meaning or inspiration behind them. Not only does she draw and paint she also makes clothes. I'm currently in the process of grabbing me an exclusive one of a kind shirt from her myself. Jewel is definitely someone you should take an interest in, even if you aren't the artsy type, I'm sure you will find something you can connect with even in the slightest. Just get on twitter or Instagram and search #jewelsart. Here are a few of my personal favorite pieces by jewel…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now lets get to the interview! 
First things first, Who are you?
“so! I'm me because well...i am. lmao my names jewel so what more can i really say???? honestly im really just a regular schmegular bitch who likes Netflix and eating and napping and drawing.
When and How did you get your start in making art?
i was always making art lol, my preschool and my first grade teachers told my mom i was going to be an artist so i really can't pinpoint how it started. it just did and it just is”
Tumblr media
Who are some people who influenced your early work?
“my early work is, like i said, as early as preschool lol. so like my laterish work, more towards highschool, because i taught myself to really paint, like more seriously around that time...and my life honestly just sucked lol. so i pulled alottttt from that; id rather have my pain inspire me than hinder me”
Who are some mentors of yours?
“i had no real mentors (because honestly my life and my interactions with others inspire me most) until my senior year when i won a scholarship to have a personal visual arts mentor...and he was so great! he was all about showing me how to be myself and still grow as an artist and i loved that. now i have all these bomb ass professors for mentors and they teach inside and out of the studio and i love love love how much they let you build a personal relationship with them, especially bc all of my mark ass racist ass high school art teachers were awwwwwful. they didn't care about me or my visions and intentions. so fuck em ;)”
If you had to describe your art in 5 words or less how would you describe it?
“ok 5 words to describe my artttt: crazy, sexy, kewl, chillin, etc? naaaah deadass um, personal, expressive, colorful.....imma stick with sexy and kewl lmaooo’
Tumblr media
What words of encouragement do you have for aspiring artists?
“for inspiring artists? literally nike shirt that hoe and just do it!!! dont fear anything, just dive in head first. the key to that is to delete any expectations you have for how your work should/shouldnt look because honestly that fucks you up. never compare your work to others, you are your only competition. be better than YOU!!!! and when its time to "decide what you want to do with your life" after graduation or whatever, art IS a legit thing to do with your life!!!! dont ever let a single person make you deny that“
What are you currently studying in school?
“im currently a painting major at Howard university and its funny because, like, when people found out i was going to Howard and moving to dc they were super lit for me...but when they would ask my major and i would tell them painting, its like they weren't as excited for me anymore. like my major wasn't good enough. but I'm the type of artist who knows what the painting will look like before ts done, and in that same right, i know ill be successful regardless of the process.”
Tumblr media
How supportive was your family in your decision to pursue art?
“my fam is SUPER SUPPORTIVE!!! even though neither of my parents are artistic, they never ever ever made me feel like my art wasn't important or realistic. i have so much supplies from years of asking for bday and Christmas gifts and them understanding that art was just simply my thing. my parents both pushed me super hard in school and that gave me drive in an artistic sense as well....like I'm motivated so much because they're so poppin. i couldn't do it without them, and I'm the only child, so id like to think they couldn't do it without me either lmao“
I see you make clothing as well, tell me about The Naughty list. How did it start and who were some people that influenced you to make clothes?
“YO THE NAUGHTY LISSSST. funny you should ask. so i went to this panel on design at school, and the presenter basically was suggesting how doing "bad" things makes for a much more creative mind. its like theres more thinking and planning and plotting and scheming...and when those that exercise that same enegy channel it into creative activity, its soooooo much more powerful. and that intruigued me like crazy bc, trust me, im living proof. so i openned up this suggestion box and told people to confess their absolute WORST BEHAVIOR. and so i had it going for about two weeks, then i compiled the list and divided them all into two main categories of sin: lust and indulgence. the stories/confessions for each category that reeealllly stood out, i turned those into specific images. the ones that were left, i hand wrote them, and used them as the texture for the background”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When you sit down to a blank canvas where do you pull your inspiration from?
“when i sit down to a blank canvas, i dont pull inspiration from anywhere in that moment. im allllways getting inspired, literally once i draw the canvas sketch, im already inspired and ready as hell to go!!! i have this desktop folder and google drive folder and album on my phone titled "inspo" so whenever i see anything remotely interesting, i save it so im sure not to forget....bc im usually pretty in my own world and get kinda forgetful lmao”
What can people expect from you this year?
“this year? who knows lmao. expect new clothes and art for purchase...but thats all i got for ya for now ;)”
Tumblr media
Quotes you live by…
“quote to live by???? shit my senior quote is always my mood: "i take a whackin and keep on smackin" -cheetah girls, 2003
Tumblr media
Any shoutouts...
“shoutout to every person i ever met, yall all made me. i made yall too. thats the crazy thing about life, ya know? shoutout to every single person who ever commented something positive on insta, retweeted me, or hmu with something supportive...i hear it all, i feel it all, and i appreciate it all!! i dont really wanna shoutout anyone individually bc id prob leave so many great (and not so great) people out, but i have to give an ultimate shoutout to asante parkins...i would not be who i am without his presence, and im forever different since hes gone away. love him (but love yall too ya feel me)”
