››› dominik & tessa .
FT. OPEN !
absolutely incensed by the audacity of the son of her latest deceased husband , tessa stood in the kitchen holding her cell phone , “ and then he said like , i’m not his mother and i can’t tell him what to do . can you believe that little bastard after everything me and his father did for him ? no wonder i cut him out of the will , “ she fumed .
wonders what he’s done to witness this scene , to experience the very blunt harshness of her words , all while male desperately tries to enjoy his snack . though , femme’s issues definitely serve as a much - needed distraction to his thoughts . “ have you ever , like , try to put yourself in his shoes or whatever ? ” head slightly tilts , attention dipping from her to his food , “ or he’s just moody then nevermind . ”

he raises his shoulders into what’s almost a shrug , a slightly amused expression all over his face as browning eyes meet those that look back at him , the hints of a small smile . “ that was the old me , if the rumour mill is churnin’ then you’ll know this is everett andrews two-point-zero stood in front of you , my man , “ he lets a small laugh tumble free , running a hand through brown hair streaked with blonde . “ back up ? me ? i don’t have that function but you gotta tell me your name anyways . otherwise i’ll find it out on my own and keep bugging you . ”
head slightly tilts as chocolate tinted orbs run themselves discreetly ( as if that was possible ) up and back down male’s figure , curiosity immediately piqued . “ and what was it that makes you so .. changed , again ? you keeping it in your pants ? ” manages to keep the witty banter flowing , typical dom behavior , glad to know there’s someone who could match his comical nature . “ name’s dominik , but anyone with a functioning brain calls me dom . there’s always one who doesn’t listen , don’t be that guy . ”

“ i appreciate the compliment . i personally don’t TRY to sound fresh out of a textbook , but it just happens sometimes . ” she stammers over her words , brows drawing into each other in a desperate attempt to understand her own train of thought . “ shut up … ” she mutters to the stranger before taking a seat and allowing herself to breathe . maybe that was all she needed to do , just breathe . “ yeah and you’re not even that threatening . ” she mutters before leaning against the chair and avoiding eye contact with him . “ that one right there . ” polished nails point behind her . “ got any words of good luck or you just gonna stand there ? ”
can immediately sense the differing demeanors between them , only fascinating him more . “ so you’re spitting out google facts all day ? interesting .. ” male thrives off getting a rise out of people , serves absolutely no different in this newfound environment , femme easily being his newest target . “ course i’m not threatening , with this baby face ? not possible , ” head shakes as smile manages to work itself onto pink - tinted lips , revealing pearly whites in the process , “ almost as impossible as me saying something nice , so that’s awkward ! ” head turns momentarily to the direction of her classroom before diverting back to her , eyes taking a second to study woman’s features , “ ah , okay .. good luck . don’t pass out . ”

“not really a tea person? and we let you into the programme? remind me to call the dean and let him know that should be on the criteria?” and the dean wondered why there were so many incidents around here? not enough people settling down with a cup of tea obviously. what a rookie move she would have to correct. “what actually makes toast not edible? i mean i always thought i was a pro at making it but i could be bias.”
reaction prompts the tiniest smirk to appear across his lips , probably the first bit of entertainment he’s experienced since arriving . maybe there was actually an upside to this after all . “ i know , i know , a travesty . guess i was the special exception , but i’ll make up for it .. somehow . ” considers himself to be a man of many talents , truthfully , though definitely plays up the mystery for his own personal pleasure . “ one second too long and the entire thing can be up in flames . don’t let me psych you out though , do your thing . ”

he couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the other, he hated people that acted like he was acting just now honestly. “well, i am, it’s not like we can just recast the whole show because you can’t handle being in the background with everyone else.” he admitted, he figured the guy was new since he hasn’t seen him around before, but he was already certain the two of them were going to bump heads a ton. “everyone has a tree face honestly. haven’t you heard the saying there are no small roles, only small actors?”
arms fold across his chest as sheer disappoint runs across male’s features , not tending to rejection well . at all . “ i mean , you technically could , but you clearly don’t recognize a good thing when its in front of you . ” wouldn’t necessarily be the one to cause a scene though his class doesn’t start until another hour .. this will do . besides , newest objective was simple : prove you’re more than tree material . “ of course i’ve heard of it , that’s like the most generic line . you’re about to make me burst into song and full choreo , man , and i really don’t wanna do that . ”

OPEN TO: students he hasn’t met
noticing a student that he’d never seen before , something that seemed more frequent since his sexy twelve day stint in rehab , he waltzed up , “ hello and welcome to the interchange , i’m everett andrews . official school welcomer , don’t believe the rumours , i’m not feral . wait , except the rumours about how good i am in bed , those ones are true but i’m a respectable gentleman these days . “
features remain relatively neutral as idle legs take in the sights around him , more amused than male would ever be willing to admit . partial attempt at sight - seeing immediately is cut short as figure approaches , deep breath taken in and out to prepare for whatever he was about to experience . eyebrow shoots up in pure curiosity midway through other’s words , eyes sliding up and back down his figure . “ i don’t know , you’re not doing such a good job proving rumors wrong , ” slight bit of amusement plays at his lips , though fades as seconds pass , “ but if i tell you my name , will you back up a little ? ”

“you know, when i used to live in the uk, i used to think british people were insane for their insistence that toast and a good cup of tea could fix everything, but the more i try it the more i’m convinced.” emerson shivered, hugging the warm drink to her chest, her nose and cheeks still flushed from the cold outside. “you want some toast? i’m just doing my second round now, two slices weren’t enough.” she muttered as someone joined her in the kitchen. - @interchangestarts
should’ve known space was going to be occupied since there was never truly a dull moment , experiencing practically everything under the sun in such a short amount of time . listens somewhat attentively to the woman’s words as she speaks , though attention is momentarily placed elsewhere , catching the very last bit of woman’s proposal . “ yeah , not really a tea person , ” head shakes , “ but i am a toast person so i can’t say no .. just , uh , make sure it’s actually edible . ”

“don’t look now but that cutie over there is totally checking you out.” sophie attempts to be subtle, raising her glass to ruby painted lips as she gives a small nod in the person’s direction, pointing them out, “need me to be your wingwoman?”
@interchangestarts
takes every fiber of his being to not look at the item of infatuation , but would hate to make it awkward before anything could come from this . “ wait , i appreciate you looking out for me and all that , ” he starts , tiny smile working onto the male’s lips , “ you don’t think i could scoop that all by myself ? i’m quite the charmer . ”

“i don’t know how many times i gotta tell you, the show’s already been cast, you should have auditioned when you had the chance.” nick reassured the person beside him as she continued to walk to class, unsure of what else to say. god, who knew directing a play would be such hard work? “look, the best i can do for you is have you casted a tree honestly, but that’s literally all that’s left.” @interchangestarts
quick scoff leaves from between male’s lips , annoyance sweeping over his figure with every passing second . “ i heard you the first three times , but i didn’t think you were actually being serious about that .. ” eyebrows immediately furrow as realization quickly sets in , opportunity blown up in his face just as quick , “ i mean , seriously ? a tree ? does this face really scream tree material to you ? ”

open starter . @interchangestarts
location: anywhere !
“they say you should go everywhere twice… you’ll see things you didn’t notice the second time. and somehow, on second glance, every location is ten times more beautiful.” tully finds herself mumbling, knowing exactly why she was doing this to the person who definitely didn’t ask for it. “sorry, i have a presentation in about thirty minutes. makes me all nervous, i start shaking, i will DEFINITELY shut up now.”
“ what that what that was ? no wonder i was so confused , that sounded like something straight out of a textbook . ” past few minutes have been absolutely brutal , succumbing to every bit of his desire to be lazy , immediately being traded in to attend this woman’s spew of words . just his luck . “ keep in mind that you’re in front of just me right now , so imagine all those other people .. ” scenario pops into his mind , probably the highlight of his day , “ what classroom is this happening in ? i need to sneak my way into the back , in case something happens . ”

ii. biography :
the story begins with hector & valentina castillo , awaiting the arrival of their first born .. dominik . five months wasn’t necessarily deemed as safe , but valentina was well aware that her precious baby boy would survive . and he did . thankfully , being a survivor was embedded in him since birth . things immediately took a dive for a worst when he was six years old . with a mother dealing with her newfound illness to a lackluster of a father figure , the young boy was forced to actually gear into survival mode once more .
school lunches would be enough to hold him while he traveled back from home from school , only to place his priorities on the backburner for the one he loved . his mother’s health , as well as his mental health , fluctuated up & down ( having extremely high ups & devastating amounts of lows ) , yet he never gave up . he did it for her . as if elementary school wasn’t already hard enough on its own , the horror stories surrounding middle & high school were just as true . bullies constantly tormented the male for any simple reason , friends quickly became enemies & the entire experience grew to be something that he could live without .
although , there was an upside . staying around in school served as a proper distraction to the emotions that the boy was facing back at home . no matter how much dominik tried to suppress emotions on the matter , there was no backing down from the truth . the boy was growing heartless . his need for others crashed , along with his dwindling social life , leaving tons of room for the male to find himself . besides , wasn’t that what high school was all about ?
( drugs tw ) the remainder of high school was shifted specifically on that , experimenting . leading to grades slipping , more academic probation than desired , dabbing into unknown substances , and a reputation of a male who lost everything practically overnight . the addition of college into his life was surprising after sudden outbursts , sure , but it had been something his mother & him always talked about . it was the least he owed her .
( death tw ) time caught up to dominik eventually , snatching the only person he’s convinced every truly understood him . leaves him with an abundance of issues , more than male likes to admit , though would go the very depths of hell to keep it concealed . there simply wasn’t time to lose his cool . not again . not with this opportunity . do it for her , he’ll repeat it a million times over in his mind .. what else was there to do ?
in a nutshell , the male finds himself entering the program , steadily picking up the pieces after his heart - shattering loss . urges to find a distraction whether it be his school work , classmates , nights he won’t remember , the sights . if everything falls through , which he’s sure an overly .. playful ( asshole ) demeanor will get him far with others , male can fall back on his love for photography . reason why his heart continues to beat , fascination with capturing #the moment , invoking emotion through the lenses , people to feel something when they see his work !
+ wanted [ best friends , exes , exes to lovers , friends to lovers , lovers to enemies , acquaintances , platonic friendships , friends with benefits , slow - burn relationship , forbidden love , secret relationship ]
