Ashton
Ashton felt tears threatening to spill, a hardened lump forming in her throat. She knew what she did was the right thing to do, to keep Lindsay's secrets safe. She couldn't have just thrown her under the bus and sit there innocently. Ashton exhaled slowly, trying to calm her nerves when her phone buzzed. Great. Just great! She whipped out her phone and looked at the new tweet the dang HAGG sent out. It was one of Lindsay's secrets. How was that even fair?! Ashton broke down then, her mascara running and all. She was always known as a drama queen, but she was genuinely upset. She gasped when she heard a deep voice, looking up quickly as she wiped away her tears and smeared makeup. "A-Ashton." She sniffled, hugging her knees to her chest. Her troubled mind was racing wildly, wondering when or how HAGG would release her deepest secret. It would be a living nightmare. Ashton looked up again at the tall male, about to say something when Lindsay bursted outside, tears clinging to her cheeks. She leaped up and hugged her tightly, shaking her head. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. This sucks. It sucks majorly." She murmured, trying to soothe her best friend. Ashton knew Lindsay was probably freaking out on the inside right now, what with the tweets from everyone. Ashton felt as though she was back in middle school.
Jake
Jake let out a high squeal, followed by laughter when Quinton whipped her off the skateboard, throwing her over his shoulder almost effortlessly. "Quinton Decaro, put me down this instant!" She laughed, her black and platinum blonde hair messy as she swung upside down. She was practically level with his butt, and she gave a wicked grin. "Well hello~" Jake gave him a slap, attempting to slow him down or put her down. Really, she was just being playful and an idiot. Jake huffed, whipping herself up and kept her foot from accidentally kicking his face--a close call--and gripped onto his back like he was giving her a piggy back ride. "I believe I win this time, Quinton." She smirked defiantly and ruffled his hair, her hair falling around her face in messy waves.
Nico
Nico laughed, dusting himself off the branches and leaves left over on him. "Yeah..They're both so oblivious, it's cute." Nico shook his head, sticking his hands into his pockets. He looked over at Destry, who seemed to be in deep thought. Nico was curious as to what, but decided not to push it by asking. "Anyway, we should give them a moment. Maybe they'll make at least some progress. But they better hurry, because my stomach is threatening me." Nico smirked, his stomach giving a small growl at the statement. "Anyway, now that we're on the topic, have anyone you're even remotely interested in?" He cocked a curious eyebrow, his gaze falling on Destry.
Iris
Iris pushed himself off the wall, walking forward again. He may have been lost, but it was nice. It was nice and peaceful, and the soft breeze felt amazing. Sure, he had to keep brushing his long hair away from his face, but he'd gotten used to that already. Iris continued to walk until he heard voices, and he felt suddenly alert. He put his hands forward and found a random wall (little did he know, it was the Starbucks building), and hid behind it. He could feel glass on his finger tips, perhaps a window or door, he wasn't sure, so he moved back a bit more and crouched. He felt guilty for hiding like a creep, but he was a freshmen and had no clue where to go or do. Iris could hear a male's voice, and two girls. Lovely. And it smelt like coffee. Actually lovely.
