override.

"How much longer?" Aaron hissed, trying to keep to the shadows and away from the paroling guards.
"It takes time to override security, even for a place like this," Connor hissed back, rolling his eyes at the absurdity of some people believing that hacking is as fast as the TV shows them. None of them appreciated the time taken to prepare for the hack itself beforehand.
"It's done," Connor said, and immediately an alarm went off at the parking lot calling the guards away, giving plenty of time for the blonde to slip in. Although they were just sneaking in the faculty office to hand in an assignment that was due hours ago, Connor still had to hand it in to himself, he had potential.

oasis.

Ryan was one thirsty man. It was hot and sweltering outside that even the idea of the beach was too much. They had finished all the bottled water in their room, but had agreed to not touch the other drinks after considering the cost. Ryan had thought of jumping in the pool that was described as an oasis in the brochures, only to find out it was being closed for cleaning that day. Now, he was at the bar by himself ordering a cold drink and hoping the heat wave would pass soon.

— Ryan

hot water.

"Someone's in trouble," Emily sang, before quickly shutting up under the blonde girl's withering glare.
Aaron had gotten himself into another mess on twitter, and was now being cancelled for the second time this year. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was just him in hot water, but the netizens have somehow decided they were all in it together, since they couldn't 'control his wild behavior'. Aaron, however, acted like he didn't care while Emily seemed gleeful that she wasn't the netizens' target for the time being, but Stephanie was beginning to spot a headache on how to maneuver this mess with their animatic projects being released in the next month.
She's starting to understand why some managers brought pills with them when they work — hopefully, she would never reach that point.

— Aaron, Emily & Stephanie

illusion of control.

Considering the ability to manipulate people's emotions at will, Jinyi is arguably the strongest out of Rachel's set of characters. However, up against someone with the ability to hypnotize, to manipulate people's minds, Rachel can't help but wander how the girl would fare — in the end, it's a battle of who can maintain control the longest. But supposed that Jinyi managed to sneak up on the hypnotist and manipulate them in advance, it would be like giving them the illusion of control over the situation. Even then, Rachel realised, it would still be a difficult situation as Jinyi would have to avoid being hypnotized herself.
Rachel sighed, leaning back in her seat, pondering on how she was going to get Jinyi out of this mess.

— Rachel ft. Jinyi

tag team.

Regardless of how they were paired up, everyone knew that Emily and Aaron were bound to work together in the end. They were able to work fine with their initial partners and teammates but being able to read each other's moves as easily as they do, meant having to use each other as allies during hard times. It was both their strength and their weakness. While they were nearly unbeatable as a tag team, they were also often chosen as targets for other people. Which, honestly, made the game more exciting for them in the end.

blue ribbon.

She was wearing practically all white from her dress to her shoes to her umbrella, with the only other colour being the blue ribbon used to tie her raven hair. The umbrella, which was initially intended to be used as a weapon against the howling wind, did little to no good, and the girl was forced to go back to the convenient store where she got it in the first place. She found a corner in the store's café where she could dry herself, and call her friend to let her know where she's been stranded. She was grateful it wasn't raining, at least, as the wind was cold enough to chill her to the bones. In the end, she relented and bought a warm cup of coffee to help her wait out the windstorm brewing outside.

— Rachel

writing on the wall.

"Was there a kid here, or did one of you finally snapped," Rachel asked, arms crossed and foot tapping — never a good sign, especially during a lockdown where nobody can get out.
"What's going on?" Ryan asked, sitting up, surprised by the tone of her voice.
Rachel pulled the curtain to the side and showed them the sentence on the wall, we will prevail, written in what looked to be permanent ink.
"It wasn't me," Emily and Aaron said, in unison before turning to each other and running off to their rooms to avoid the nagging that was sure to come.
As if on cue, Rachel began to list out the steps on what actually has to be done to clean the writing on the wall and wondering out loud what possessed someone in their twenties to write on the wall in the first place.

— Rachel, Ryan, Emily & Aaron

Achilles' heel.

"We think you should be the one to go in and talk to Ryan," Emily told Rachel, after they've all been discussing about their older friend, who has been glaring and snapping at everything in sight.
"Why me, you should be the one to do it," Rachel protested, "You're his dancing partner and plus, he finds you adorable and always lets you get away with things — you're practically his Achilles' heel!"
"Yes, but I've been messing up during practice so much now, he's already glaring at me the moment I walk in," Emily said, her voice becoming more of a whine with each word. "Besides, after talking about it, we agreed that he's least likely to snap at you, because you get so nervous that he would never be- oh shoot, he's here, go!"
Suddenly, the raven hair found herself being pushed towards the oncoming figure, "Emily, stop- hi, Ryan."

— Emily & Rachel

flat line.

For a brief moment, as the doctor explained to them why they were keeping the red head sedated for a while, the worst possible thing happened, she started to flatline. Suddenly all of them was ushered out of the room as the doctor tried to bring her back. Rachel was starting to feel the tears pricking her eyes once more and Ryan realising this, quickly got her to one of the benches seated outside the wards. Stephanie pulled Connor and Aaron alone as well, with one being shocked and seemed unable to move while the other seemed determined to just stay there. None of them were saying anything, as the reality of the situation was slowly sinking in — Emily had tried to kill herself, and nobody noticed until it was too late.

— everyone

generation.

Connor came from a long line of musicians, just as much as Stephanie came from generation after generation of blood sucking business men who had prayed on the weak and vulnerable performers in their family. But by the time his grandfather had told him of their family history, Connor had already played her some of his favourite songs on their family piano. She had sang along, with that sweet voice of her, stumbling over some of the words as she tried to keep up with the melody, her twinkling laughter more than made up for her mistakes. Their fathers who apparently had been having a heated discussion on the performance being held at the opera house the following week, had been appalled at the sight of their kids fraternizing. In spite of being told to never contact each other again, however, both of them would sneak off to a pub a few times afterward somewhere to perform another duet together.

hostile intent.

"Be straight with me, when did you realise their plan?" Ryan asked, as they walked away from a group of frustrated people covered in paintball.
"I didn't, not exactly, but it became obvious something was up," Stephanie said. "June just seemed too keen on bringing me to this room, and I figured I needed a backup just in case."
Ryan smiled, and shook his head, "They get worse every time we play with them — especially when Emily and Aaron are involved."
Stephanie huffed and sighed, "Their hostile intent becomes more obvious whenever those two partners up, and somehow we become the targets."

— Ryan & Stephanie

change of hands.

"To the greatest bar in town," Connor said, and they all toasted to the place that had not only become their designated place to hang out, but also became their concert stage whenever any of them managed to grab the mic — drunk or otherwise.
"Don't be too quick to say goodbye," Elliot, the bartender, said, serving them another round of beer and soda for the only one in the group who doesn't drink.
At their questioning looks, Elliot continued, "There had been a change of hands with the bar and now it belongs to me."
Just like that, the melancholy that filled the night was replaced with an eruption of congratulations and excitement. The group of friends stayed together until closing time in which they convinced Elliot to have a round with them as celebration of his new ownership over the bar.

— Elliot ft. others

trial by fire.

"Wow, trial by fire, let me guess, we have to walk across a pit of fire," Connor deadpanned, reading through the brochure one of the lobby staff gave him.
"Once you cross it, you will become a newer, better person," Stephanie said, inhaling deeply with a serene smile — she was going to enjoy this trip.
"Who knows, maybe the fire will make you less of an asshole," Emily said, shoving past him.
Connor wanted to yell something back, something that will show her it was an honest mistake and really wasn't his fault, but his brain blanked and nothing came to mind and instead, he was met with Stephanie's questioning gaze, "I- Em's just a little mad at me 'cause of you know-"
"Don't tell me, I don't want to know," the blonde girl said, before putting on her sunglasses and sauntering off to where the red head went earlier.

— Connor & Stephanie ft. Emily

rsvp.

Aaron found his red headed friend looking at her phone with a frown on her face, and when he came closer, he saw the familiar telltales of a wedding invitation. Without warning, he grabbed the phone from her, and click yes on the rsvp, "You're going, Em."
"Aaron, why would you do that," the red headed exclaimed, already annoyed with him half hour ago and even more so now. "Do you realise the planning that has to go in this ; the flight, the classes and not to mention all the video shooting that we have lined up — I can't just fly to the other side of the continent for a wedding and miss all that."
"First of all, this is James's wedding, your brother, and second of all, you've worked too much lately and I've talked to the others and they're willing to cover for us when we're gone so let's just go, okay?"

— Aaron & Emily

weighing options.

There is much in life to be decided from the things they do to the people they connect with. Whether that choice benefits in a mentally, physically, financially or any way, really, is highly dependent on the factors that lead to having to make that choice. However, while one is usually told to weigh the options carefully, one rarely do so and instead will choose based on impulse. Even then, there are times the choice is already made as someone else will have already chosen.
Be it fate or impulse, as he writes down the importance of weighing his options, for his English assignment, in his shared bedroom with the sound of his roommate snoring in the background, Connor can't be entirely sure if he would have made a different choice if given the choice to do it all over again.

lost and alone.

Rachel tried to shake it off — the feeling of being lost and alone, especially when her friends were only a call away. She wasn't sure if it was the pandemic or just one of those instances where she got too wrapped up in her character's emotions, but she needed a cup of hot chocolate and a phone call with Stephanie to get rid of the blues. Yumi was the one who was struggling with the fact that she may have been manipulated all this time, not Rachel. Rachel wasn't the one whose brother is not a known fugitive — in fact, her little brother was actually in college and hopefully have not wandered off the road of a good behaved student. Oh dear, she was already starting to ramble to herself, Rachel really hoped Stephanie would answer her call, before she starts actually talking to herself again.

— Rachel.

flight of fancy.

"You do realise you're engaging in nothing more than a flight of fancy with that ridiculous notion," Emily said, scoffing at him.
Aaron raised his eyebrows at her, "Flight of fancy? Did you finally read an actual book on the way here?"
"I read books," the red head huffed in response.
"Yeah, and you love art galleries for more than just your Instagram," he retorted, earning a glare in return.

— Aaron & Emily

slow and steady.

"Alright, you've got a stick up your ass, what's wrong," Emily said, shoving the blonde aside so she can squeeze in next to him on the couch.
Aaron wanted to push her off, but realized she would still get it out of him sooner or later, so instead he took in a deep breath before starting, "It's been a month now since me and Stephanie started dating, but we haven't....kissed."
Her eyes bulged when she heard that, "I thought you were going to say sex which then I was gonna reply, you two have been friends for so long and she might just want to take it slow and steady, but then you said kissed and all I can think off is maybe she doesn't actually like you."
"She likes me," he said, glaring at her before adding, "Besides, the same reason could still apply."
"Yeah, don't worry, you've both known each other a long time and probably need some time to get used to the idea of actually kissing each other — off screen," she said, bumping their shoulders together and shooting him a supportive comforting smile.

— Aaron & Emily

cold as ice.

"It's cold in here, as cold as ice....cream!" Emily exclaimed, pulling out an ice cream cone from the bag.
Rachel slid up closer to the older male and peeked into the bag, "There's only ice cream in here — you do realise she has a sore throat as well as a fever, right?"
"A fever that is dying down, and besides, what better cure is there than ice cream?" Ryan said, offering her a cone as well.
"Hmm, soup, tea with honey, anything warm and not cold and sharp to the throat," Rachel replied, unwrapping the ice cream cone.
"Cold does not mean sharp or bad for the throat," Ryan said, to which Rachel merely rolled her eyes at.

— Rachel & Ryan ft. Emily

just do it.

"If he doesn't kiss me by the end of the date tonight, I'll just do it myself," Stephanie said, looking at herself determinedly in the mirror. She had Rachel braided part of her hair in a crown and she was wearing her lucky dress on and the bracelet he bought her. She put on her favourite lip gloss that she was well aware made her lips look more inviting. Stephanie flips her hair over her shoulder and considered taking a selfie. She looked so good, there is no way that kiss is not happening tonight.

flower culture

cgstyle — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 09:20:26 GMT

Emily gave a flower. Stephanie explained about the culture.

collection : it's fine, i'm fine
word count : 211

“A pretty flower for a pretty girl,” Emily smiled, holding out a yellow daisy.

  Stephanie looked down at it sceptically and back up at the expectant red head. She plucked the flower from the girl’s hand and twirled it between her fingers.

  “You’re not supposed to pick these,” the blonde girl said after a beat.

  Emily pouted at that, “I got it for you. The least you could say is thank you.”

  “Thank you, but please refrain from breaking the law for me in the future,” Stephanie told her, carefully breaking off part of the stem to make it shorter.

  “Jail is nothing if it meant making you happy,” the red head insisted.

  Stephanie raised an eyebrow at the shorter girl, reaching out to brush a curl behind her ear. “In Hawaii, there’s a culture where if you were to wear a flower behind your left ear, it tells people you’re taken and unavailable. But if you wear it behind your right ear, you’re telling people you’re single and possibly looking for love.”

  Emily tilted her head, a small smile playing on her lips as she said slowly, “Yeah? How are you going to wear it?”

  “I’m not,” Stephanie said, carefully tucking the yellow daisy behind the redhead’s ear. “You are.”

As part of the challenge for 1sentence, I have written 50/50 sentences describing Aaron and Stephanie's relationship.

Prompts 41 - 50

41 - Wait
Aaron has been doing it for years, and now Stephanie realized it was her turn to wait.

42 - Talk
Stephanie realized she never really had the talk with her parents, but then again with Aaron's vulgarity and double entrades, maybe she didn't really need one.

43 - Search
Aaron had to search the Asia continent to find his best friend, but Stephanie was a different case, no matter where he looked, he barely caught more than a glimpse of the pretty blonde girl.

44 - Hope
Stephanie was the romantic slowly losing hope on ever finding the one, Aaron was the cynical who taught her to let go.

45 - Eclipse
Eclipse was just another moment in the dark for the couple to hold on to each other without anyone else doing.

46 - Gravity
Aaron had always been pulled towards Stephanie like gravity in these moments, with her usually perfect blonde hair a mess and mascara running down her face, she actually looked real.

47 - Highway
It was unerving and a little more than just annoying the way she was looking at him while he took a turn into the highway, all because she wanted him to come out and say, "Fine, you're right, we're lost."

48 - Unknown
Stephanie stood there speechless, mind ransacking for an answer only to come up blank other than the realization that there was still so many things about Aaron that remained unknown to her.

49 - Lock
Aaron wondered just how often she sneaks out all these years - judging by how quick she picked the lock, one can only assume every week.

50 - Breathe
As he watched the video playing out scenes of Emily and Connor together, with Stephanie's beautiful voice singing Breathe in the background, he realized this one was for him.

Prompt 31 - 40

31 - Sacred

"You can't just touch it, it's practically sacred," Stephanie snapped at Emily, while Aaron could only mouth an apology to their friends while his girlfriend glared at anyone who dared to lay their filthy finger on her new pandora bracelet.

32 - Farewells

Aaron liked how Stephanie is not so good with farewells, it meant that she would always come back.

33 - World

Stephanie and Aaron both saw the world differently, one saw it as a dangerous place while the other saw it as a playground.

34 - Formal

Formalities has never been one of Aaron's strong suits, which was why Stephanie almost always has to drag him to the side to tell him to wear his clothes properly, not make inappropriate jokes and especially not to laugh at any of the guests' name no matter how ridiculous they sound.

35 - Fever

There are more than enough signs to know when Stephanie's been hit by the seasonal shopping fever; one of them was watching her drag an unwilling Aaron wherever she went.

36 - Laugh

"Stephanie doesn't laugh, she cackles like an evil witch," Aaron told the kids solemnly, earning a smack on his head by the blonde girl.

37 - Lies

Stephanie was so used to making up stories that she has no idea what to do when Aaron began to snip snap her web of lies.

38 - Forever

Forever is an idea that Stephanie has long given up on, now she just holds on to him like it will never happen.

39 - Overwhelmed

Stephanie felt so overwhelmed with emotions, she's not sure whether to kiss him or slap him right now, she went with the latter.

40 - Whisper

Emily had always been a little envious whenever she sees Aaron and Stephanie laughing and whispering together in hushed mandarine, like it was a secret language that no one else knew.

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5

As part of the challenge for 1sentence, I have written 30/50 sentences describing Aaron and Stephanie's relationship.

Prompt 21 - 30

21 - Silence

The silence that followed was tensed, and the cocky bastard was looking straight at Aaron, waiting for a retaliation, which Aaron would've gladly given him one if Stephanie hadn't intertwined their fingers together under the table.

22 - Journey

While Stephanie had her journey all planned out, Aaron was still figuring out which road to take.

23 - Fire

Stephanie recognized the fire in his eyes, and inmediately knew what comes next won't be so pleasant.

24 - Strength

Stephanie was this pretty blonde girl who was stronger than she looked - a fact Aaron learned quickly after finding himself on his back for the third time in a row.

25 - Mask

She wears a mask of the perfect daugter and the perfect girl, a mask that he took off in just one night revealing the lonely girl behind it.

26 - Ice

"I need more ice," Stephanie ordered, handing back her iced tea to Aaron who was forced into wearing a full on suit under the blazing hot sun after losing a bet.

27 - Fall

Stephanie realized she was actually starting to fall for the boy who went around giving people irritating nicknames while Aaron had long known how he fell for the prissy blonde girl who refused to eat anywhere else other than a proper dining table.

28 - Forgotten

With his parents divorced, and his best friend disappearing overnight, Aaron could only hope Stephanie won't forget him as well.

29 - Dance

"We can totally dance like them," Stephanie said, watching their friends performing through the tv screen, while Aaron hummed absentmindedly scrolling on his phone.

30 - Body

Stephanie has always had a thing for drawing if not with a pen, then with her finger as she traced lightly on Aaron's body.

unlimited.

Rachel may possess the gift of unlimited imagination, but it didn't mean she had the gift to put it into words. Even if she had the battlefield playing in her mind, it all faded to nothing when going up against the open blank document. What was supposed to happen after the elusive female character finally stepped into the scene to face the person that terrorised her friends just to find her? The odds are he's shot, but does he die in the end, or does he actually get away? Rachel rubbed her face in frustration silently cursing the existence of writer's block.

- Rachel

impulse.

They were young - barely halfway through their twenties, they don't know what they're doing. People were quick to speak their mind once their engagement was announced, planting doubts in her mind. It got so bad that she once considered calling it off just to get them to stop. But then Aaron came in looking indigniant, huffing about how people can just shove it and they should all mind their own fucking business. The look on their faces were priceless and despite her embarrassment as Aaron declared how strong their love truly was, Stephanie realised whether or not it's on impulse, she truly was in love with the idiot.

- Aaron/Stephanie

out to play.

Months - this wasn't an exeggeration - months of late nights and hours spending pouring over books that were too thick to began with. Long hours spent editing video after video, only to have it all taken apart by professors who was stuck in the ways of the nineties. But now their finals are over and their assignments are all turned in. Aaron found a restaurant that would take in their whole group, while Connor booked a karaoke room they could spend hours in. After so long, it was finally time for them to go out to play.

- Aaron & Connor

risk management.

"It's the basics of risk management," Connor said, barely sparing a glance at the seething blonde. "Judging by the group's sales, it makes no sense to keep working with them, when there are other groups with a larger fanbase we could benefit from."
Stephanie narrowed her eyes at him, calmly asked, "Do you realise how unprofessional you're being by refusing to work with them just because one of the members is flirting with the girl you like?"
"That is unprofessional of you to bring that up, however, given the rumors circling around him and the fact that he already has a girlfriend, only proves that working with this group may lead to a scandal none of us will be prepared for," the bespectacled brunette said, refusing to let his emotions show.
"You're being ridiculous," Stephanie said, knowing the brunette would not budge on this.

- Connor & Stephanie

point of view.

"They're being so close and intimate, I mean, they should just get a room at this point," Aaron said, sipping his red paper cup as he glared at the couple laughing by the fireplace - of all the places in the room, the fireplace.
Connor followed the blonde's view spotting the aforementioned pair together, a little confused, "I think they're just talking."
"They're talking very closely," the blonde said, petulantly.
"I guess, but from my point of view, they have to be a little close to talk with this crowd and besides, there's no direct physical contact between them and there's no way, Stephanie would be dumb enough to hit on a guy who is heavily rumored to be dating someone from his own band."
"You're right, I have to save her from the boring gay guy," Aaron said, charging towards the pair in his drunken stupor before Connor could stop him.

Ryan's lived with questions tucked in the back of his mind. He's learned to deal with it - well he thought he did. When the rich brat Aaron called out to him promising answers, he had expected the younger to tell him what went down between Stephanie and Connor the other night. Instead, the blonde was grinning at him from ear to ear, emerald eyes glinting like a mad man. For once, Ryan felt wary around the other.
"I know what happened to your sisters."
Ryan froze when the words he's been dying to hear slipped out of the blonde's mouth.

- Ryan & Aaron

Every day and every night Rachel volunteered at the pediatrician ward, mostly to drop by on her younger brother. She grew familiar to the staff and patients of the wards nearby. But there was one patient she saw everyday but knew nothing of. A pretty blonde girl bound to her bed by some reason the doctors have yet to discovered. Showing no signs of prominent abuse or injury, the blonde lay fast asleep for months on end, never to wake up. Each day, the only visitor she would have was a blonde boy Rachel recognized as the new guy, Aaron.

Ryan and Emily were a notorious duo who could never keep themselves away from trouble. As the guy who's been trailing them for years, Officer Reagan found himself sitting in the interrogation room yet again across the red head for another crime that he knew she committed, but could never proof. They both knew this. She shot him a lazy smile through half lidded eyes, as he read her her rights. She stayed silent throughout the entire session, giving no answers. It always ended the same way, with her getting out on bail and him, nothing but a cold lead.

"Should you do it, or should I?" he whispered so gently in her ear, trailing the gun down to the hems of her dress. She tried to calm herself, tried to breathe out evenly, but it got harder once the tip was pressed against her inner thigh.
She woke up with a start, hand gripping the door handle and eyes instinctively darting everywhere. Her breathing very much uneven as she tried to recollect herself. As she tried to remind herself that right now she was in a car with Ryan, getting as far away from the monster as they could.

"Go on blondie, tell me your story," Emily said, crushing the beer can easily with her fist. Usually, Aaron would have kept his mouth shut, but alcohol was in his system and he found himself answering, "Mum's a whore. Dad was her savior. I was the bastard child conceived in the backseat car. At least that's my Dad's version." He could feel her eyes boring into the side of his head. He waited for the pity, but then, she tilted her head and asked, "Should I apologize for your shit or are you happy with your life as it is?"

As part of the challenge for 1sentence, I have written 10/50 sentences describing Aaron and Stephanie's relationship.

Prompt #1- #10

1 - Ring

"Here, take this before I eat it," Aaron said, practically shoving the candy ring into the surprised blonde girl's end, avoiding eye contact with her.

After searching the whole empty house, Aaron finally found Stephanie in the last place he expected- the basement, gazing fondly at the contents of a box, undoubtedly reminding her of the memories she cherished.

"Run away with me," Aaron said, eyes filled with beautiful promises and sweet nothings that Stephanie found it really hard to say no.

6 - Hurricane

She was the pretty blonde who was nothing but calm, yet the look behind those grey eyes had Aaron wondering what kind of hurricane was just brewing behind them.

7 - Wings

"You never needed wings to fly," Aaron whispered in her ears, the last thing she heard before the round of applause started.

8 - Cold

Stephanie scoffed, ridiculed by how Aaron was too prideful to admit that he was cold despite him obviously shivering in his boots.

9 - Red

Aaron was shocked to find Stephanie in a state, her pastel coloured prom dress torn and dripping with crimson red, something glinting in her hand, "You're mine now."

10 - Drink

"I told you I can make more than just bar drinks," Aaron said smirking proudly, while Stephanie rolled her eyes and quietly sipping the mixture of some kind of fizzy drinks and medicine to help her with her cold.
