IF YOU WERE A RACER, YOU WERE ON THIN ICE. yani didn't make that explicitly known when stepping foot into the auto body shop, but it wasn't too long until they all caught on ⏤ if the narrowed glares, refusal to speak, and the angry grunting from changing a ride's tire wasn't enough, then the wrench held above femme's head anytime a LOSER tried to approach, ready to strike, spoke volumes. the models, and obviously other mechanics, were fine. they didn't embarrass her twenty-four hours into the new year; a new record for being disappointed by people. “ havin' me out here bustin' my ass and for what ? to have some jackass with purple lights in their car to call my work bad ? ” yani scoffs to herself whilst standing against the wall outside the building, the innocent water bottle in her hand being bounced from hand to hand. “ all i ask is that you make me look good. is that too much to ask ? "

( 1 ) his black sidekick 2 can always be located on his person in his back right pocket; it's apparently bad luck to place it anywhere else... also he's forgetful. ( 2 ) a small baggie of weed can either be tucked away in his back pocket with his sidekick or it doesn't exist depending on who's asking. ( 3 ) the keys to his honda sr2000 are typically latched onto his belt loop or in his front left pocket. ( 4 ) this little black lighter has been through hell and back with him since he moved to miami; claims it's his "good luck charm" because he has yet to lose it unlike his others lighters. front right pocket. ( 5 ) a pack of extra gum since you never know whose breath stinks or what pretty face will approach him on the streets. you can never be too sure. also in his front right pocket. ( 6 ) literally can't leave the house with grabbing some kind of chapstick or lip balm. wdym you left your house with your lips ashy ? you're 20. still in his front right pocket. ( 7 ) everybody has loose money somewhere on their person and he keeps his in his left back pocket or really anywhere he feels like placing it. ( 8 ) he's hot, of course he has condoms on him at all times; swears it's for other people who might need it but... he's lying. normally kept with his sidekick and weed.

Midsummers was supposed to be our coming out party. That was supposed to be something special. What does it matter, Topper? We're in high school. It's not like we're getting married. I don't care if we're in high school. I love you.

*coughs up blood* how do i look? do i look good? was that hot?

⠀⠀ hypocritical to say the least; there's been countless nights where the exact same humiliation consumed him ⏤ yes, those times were purely by accident and never on purpose... obviously he'd just admit he had nothing on him and smile to get what he wanted eventually. even if romeo had sympathy, that didn't make the wait less annoying, head going back with his arms crossed, sharing a bored expression with the person behind him. “ can you believe this guy ? ” romeo mutters, grinning when the person nods and comments themselves. by the time he looks back, he's face to face with cogs, causing a loud, amused laugh to fill the air. “ no shit ?! ” the sight was unheard of, romeo removing his glasses to take a harder look at his crew member in delight. “ what are the odds... ” indulging in the unexpected face for a few seconds longer, he eventually sidesteps the other, stepping up to the bar and being met with an instant eye roll and sigh. “ whatever he wants, it's on me. i have it this time ! no more tab shit, seriously, ” hands reach into his pockets and exposes a wad of cash, pulling out a crisp $20 bill and flashing it with a cocky smirk. after ordering his own drink, his gaze is back on him, face still highly entertained. “ it's new years eve ! even i knew better than to pull that stunt tonight. ”

the  tips  of  his  ears  were  searing  to  the  touch  as  the  line  continued  to  stall, and stall, and stall... all to the fault of his own.  visage  was  beet  red,  hands busied with undergoing  a  prolonged  self-pat  down  to  the  dismay  of  disgruntled  bar patrons,  only  to  realize  his  wallet  had  promptly  grown  legs.  fist resurfacing, all  that  rested  in  his  palm,  and  humiliatingly  so,  was  a  crumpled  three  dollars,  some  coins,  and  a  gum  wrapper,  to  which  he  said,  “  no,  no  —  i  swear  i  have  something  in  here  !  ”  with  his  protestation  directed  at  an  all-too-annoyed  employee.  in  a  feat  of  desperation,  caisey  could  only  turn  to  the  next  person  in  line  -  does  he  know  them  ?  whatever.  not  the  time.  “  can  you  spot  me  like  …  five  bucks  ?  c'mon,  please.  i  have  my  wallet  in  my  car.  “  probably.  he  was  pleading,  at  this  point.  ”  swear  you  could  like,  follow  me  back  to  my  car  after  this  —  i've  got  cash  in  there.  "

( 1 ) obviously, the first thing she's gonna grab going anywhere are her KEYS that give her access to everything: her apartment, her mother's house, father's cali home, and of course, her integra. typically clipped onto her bag for safe keeping but sometimes latched on her jeans when at a club. ( 2 ) due to her attachment to her previous samsung sgh and motorola e815, they're tucked away at the bottom of the bag while her working phone, a motorola ravr v3, is actually on her person and in her back right pocket; a bonus is that her broken phones work perfectly to tricking unwanted men that her phone was dead. ( 3 ) every hardworking girl needs a bottle of hand sanitizer on deck, especially when you're constantly working on cars every day. ( 4 ) another essential for the gals: makeup. well, not a lot. the only thing needed to elevate her already doll-like features are her lipgloss collection ( you can never have too many backups ) and mascara. ( 5 ) at some point in her life that involved dancing at body, the one thing she kept at all times was her nail glue. if she paid the money for a full set and one of them popped off, even now with her mechanic gig, then she was gluing it back on! no nail goes wasted in this house. ( 6 ) working on cars makes having hair that goes past your shoulders irritating, hence why a pack of black hair ties will always come in hand. she doesn't mind sharing with the other members of the rodani crew but she might make a nariza bois member pay for one. ( 7 ) everyone and their mother has to have an ipod nano by now. it's actually mandatory that you do or else you're lame, or worse... broke. ( 8 ) and saving the best for last is the iconic guess bag itself named after her boy group favorites pretty ricky. sturdy, reliable, and still in perfect condition, this purse is always seen by her side or safely put away as it's the last gift her parents brought her together before their divorce.
