queen bee (location) hollywood sign (mood) happy (tagged) ares,the gang

xxxxxxlyza huffed. dont get her wrong, the view was glorious, but the heat was horrid. she bunched all her hair up to the top of her head to air out the back of her neck. she was starting to regret the heels, she had already tied the jean jacket around her waist. alyzabeth spun around to face her friends, isnt this place beautiful? she called and smiled. she never been to california before, so she was pretty excited. alyzabeth watchedbher friends. sure, they had their ups and downs and some were closer than others but she felt like no matter what, they would be there for each other, support and stand up for each other.
xxxxxxher favorite person, though she would never admit it because her role was cold, dstant and reserved, was phil. even though they were together for a week, the week was heaven. he was the only one who saw through her façade. the only one who got to know the real her. he discovered parts of her she didnt even know existed. between the long late night drives, where they ended up sleeping in the back seat of his car, holding each other, to the day where they had a food fight in the kitchen of her house, lyz doesnt know how to cook but he still loved her just the same, then finally, the day where it all went down. the final blow. they had no intention on hurting each other, but the venom they spat at each other left lacerations on their hearts. so they decided that it was better to part and patch it up with friendship. was it sad, yes. she had believed that she was different than the others, that she mattered. she also believed that he was different, and he was with her. she had dug up parts of him that were buried three leagues under the ground and she held those tender parts of him like tangerines, not wanting to bruise them. and the most painful part of it all was, they shattered those parts of each other and left the other to piece it together themselves. alyzabeth looked at him, he was so ethereal,so magical and part of her wished she had fought a little harder.
xxxxxonce she snapped out of the trance that was phil, her eyes went to ares. oh ares! she loved him on most days, hated him on some. for the most part, their personalities went great, until they disagreed. both believed what they believed and wouldnt change it for anyone. lyza walked to him and linked her arm through his. tell me, my sweet god of war, when are you going to swallow your pride and ego and run back to the girl you belong with? she inquired with a smile. sure, she was one to talk but the subject of her and phil was forbidden. she told everyone that it was the day they broke up. she remembered what the lump in her throat felt like as she tasted iron. lyz looked back up at ares and hip bumped him. cmon! a girl like that, only comes once in a lifetime. plus, she is my girl bestfriend and i love her and want her happy. she rushed the last part, emotions werent something she liked talking about.
xxxxxadelina was a great girl and lyza wished she could be like her. always being cold and distant got hard, especially when all you want is for someone to be there for you. lina, nolan and phil were the only ones who cared to get to know the nice person under the jerk. she kept them near and dear to her heart. she could stand to lose anyone else but them. they all had such beautiful souls and she wanted to put them kn her pocket and take them everywhere she went
xxxxxalyzabeth looked about the land. the view was amazing but the heat was killer. she was sure she was sweating in places people shouldnt sweat but her makeup still looked amazing. as they neared closer to the sign, a smile spread across her face. she had done it. they had done it. she was so happy to experience something outside of business dinners, hosting partner luncheons and other useless things her parents forced her to do. this was living! being in her condo, bored out of her mind or entertaining old people with snow white hair, was not.
xxxxxthey reached the top of the mountain and lyza would cry if she wasnt so prideful. she took a deep breath. she had tripped over countless things on the way up here but the embarrassment was worth it. she looked back at her friends. have you guys ever seen anything so beautiful? she felt so infinite. this was the first time she was genuinely happy since being with phil. lyza cupped her hands around her lips and howled like a wolf, she grinned like an idiot when she heard her howl, howl back at her. she giggled uncontrollably. this was going to be an amazing summer.

as the sun beamed down onto the group of young-adults, ares couldn't help but tilt his head backwards to take in the beauty of the place. he looked around at the surroundings, and although taking beauty in the site, wished for nothing more than wind, even a slight bit. the heat was immense, and it caused him to wipe a bead of sweat that was beginning to form on his forehead. as he took another step forward, he heard a small voice come from the front of him. ares couldn't help but nod his head in agreement. "oh yeah, definitely. something you don't see very often," he replied to alyzabeth, someone who he has considered to be a good friend at most of times. he just prays that nothing will destroy the mood they're both in to cause an argument. this road trip is definitely something that ares isn't taking for granted, as he wants to enjoy every moment of it as much as he possibly can.

as he continued walking, he felt a small figure wrap round the 6'2 lad. he looked down, smiling and noticing it was lyza. he opened his mouth to say something, but quickly shut it as he heard her voice. "what an interesting choice of words," he chuckled, and was about to reply before she came out with another line. "yes, i do understand the fact they come once in a lifetime, lyz," he began, and then paused for a moment to think of his choice for words. "but i genuinely don't think she'd take me back." he continued walking, keeping his arm linked with alyzabeths and letting go of the fact she commented on his ego (something he usually wouldn't ignore). he thought back momentarily to the relationship he had a mere eight months ago. it was such a wonderful relationship that the two had shared, and ares would take adeline back in a heart beat. however, the bad came just as quick as the good. maybe it was karma on pope's part, especially as he started doing things such as smoking and drinking at such a young age. in a way, the break up was completely pope's fault. he did something he knew she would hate, but the naïve boy carried on anyway. "but hey, get a word in for me would ya?" he laughed, making light of the serious conversation and winked at her.

as the two continued to walk, he looked behind him as alyzabeth spoke. he decided not to answer, and focused on the group behind him (after all, he already voiced his opinion on the scenery moments before). wis stood within the group, someone he never really had much to do with. nothing bad has ever happened between them, but all throughout high school ares just ignored her (unless she tried to speak to him). sage, his best friend. his female partner in crime. he smiled to himself slightly, thinking to how far back their friendship goes. he then looked a bit more, noticing nolan. before any negative opinions could come to his mind about him, his thoughts were interrupted by a high-pitched howl coming from beside her.

"gee, lyza, would you listen to that," he laughed along with her, the echo continuing on for a few seconds."sounds like the wolves can relate to you." he chuckled, as he unlinked their arms for him to do the exact same, copying alyzabeths howl almost exactly (the only different being his pitch was about three times deeper than hers).

Wisteria's hair shone like the sun, bathed in its golden light. The sky was as blue as the flowers she wore in her hair— hyacinthoides she had plucked on her way up. Sadly, the flowers in this general area were scarce, or else she would have made a flower crown out of them. Either for herself, or her step sister, Sage. Wisteria and Sage had a close bond. They were tightly knit like a literal scarf. The ones her mother made for her each winter, but would never wear because the colour choices were too dark for her.

Even thinking about the scarves now made her sigh. The heat was miserable, but it wasn't enough to get Wisteria down. Her hair was matted to her forehead with a sheen of sweat that didn't condense and run down to her chin like a stream would. Wisteria didn't bother with tousling her hair, even as it had gotten excruciatingly itchy over the past time they had been hiking. Her roots were coming in. She'd need to bleach her hair again soon. The first stop in their travels was the Hollywood sign. Although someone like Queen Alyza would have dreamt of this moment, Wisteria herself wasn't as excited. She tagged along to see the world, and though this may be a part of the world, it wasn't too significant to her. However, the destination she had been dying to reach was South Padre. She had heard that the oceans and beaches were beautiful. Maybe she could go scuba diving and get a close up look of the wild life that flourished in the gulf!

The flower child took her step sister's hand, tilting her head. "Hey, Sagey-baby," there was that nickname which stuck all throughout the years. Wisteria couldn't remember the last time she had called Sage by her proper name at all. "Let's play guess the flower again. These ones on my head." Wis was childish in a sense— she always challenged Sage when it came to botanical knowledge. When Sage got the answer wrong, Wisteria would delightfully teach her the correct answer. Of course, it didn't matter to the girl if her step sister forgot as soon as she turned her head. Wisteria always ended up turning her head, taking in the beauty of the nature around her. It was either nature or something else that caught her eye. Brown hair slicked back as if it was actual tree sap... Sea glass eyes that that refracted Wisteria's image into a chaotic but beautiful mess of greens and blues.

Nolan had the hands of a God. Wisteria would watch him hold his paint brush, dipping and stroking and smudging until the paint had worked its way into each crease in his hand. He was the flurry of colours that she called home. Nolan was like fireworks in the night sky— a spiraling spark; a dancing flame. The way he painted her hair, the way flowers were worked in, it amazed her and pleased her. Wisteria wanted hands like that to hold her own. She wanted eyes like that to bore into her and renew her already young spirit. The key word there, is want. There were some things that people wanted, and some that they needed. Wisteria sat on the margin in between.

Upon arriving at the top of the mountain, she marveled at the view. Her eyes were aquamarines, glistening at the architecture below. She still responded to Alyzabeth's question regardless of her predicament, and regardless of if her inquiry and been rhetorical or not. "It really is beautiful... And this is only the beginning." Wisteria plucked one of the flowers out of her hair, slipping it behind Nolan's ear. "There you go, art boy! You're pretty now!" It's not that he wasn't pretty before, the flower was just a nice touch.

sage was not one for exercising. she was a nerd; a huge book nerd who's adventures were more of the literary kind. nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. every few minutes or so in between sweating and heaving in gulps of air, she would look around and take in the view. her dirty blonde hair was up in a ponytail underneath a green dad hat with a tiny rose embellished on the front, but that didn't stop strands of hair from peaking out under her cap and blowing in the slight breeze they had. the hat was one of her favorite accessories next to her lucky giraffe necklace she wore every so often. sage was glad she went with short overalls and a striped, off the shoulder top rather that her normal pick of mom jeans and a cropped sweater. this heat was unbelievable!

being the outgoing and talkative one of the group, you'd expect sage to be talking to someone just as lyza was. unfortunately, she was too out of breath to take the energy and talk to someone. every so often she would look over at the rest of the gang: her best friend ares, the mom friend adelina, her sister wisteria, and even nolan who was strangely growing on her. she smirked, looking away from the boy and focusing on her hike. sage was listening to everything going on around her; the crackling of shoes on the hot sand, the flapping of wings in the air circling around the group as if they were prey, and the distant sound of the ocean somewhere.
she even listened to the conversation between ares and alyzabeth about adelina. it was strange how close-knit the group was, and how they all had a past. sage was the baby so she only knew all of them thanks to wisteria. her and ares were pranksters together,
which is how she got into the group. one water balloon thrown and the rest is history. sage giggled to herself at the thought, shaking her head at the memories of being soaked in water but still having a blast.

she was dragged out of her thoughts by wis grasping her tiny hand and engulfing it in hers. sage smiled at the nickname, knowing some guess the flower game was going to happen. as soon as the words left her flower child of a stepsister's mouth, she giggled. "well, i don't have to guess. they're all flowers, and all are lovely. therefore- all are lovely flowers!" the sassy response made her playfully push wis, but sage knew she wasn't paying attention anymore so she continued with her walk.

before she knew it, the gang was all at the top of the mountain. she turned and looked over the land, admiring its untouched beauty.
she began to laugh, jumping up and down while ignoring the pains in her legs from such a long hike. "we made it guys! we really did it!" sage squealed and did a little victory dance before being interrupted by a... howl? the blonde turned in a confused manner before realizing it was lyza. a large grin spread across her face when the girl finished and began to giggle. her best friend ares did the same and so sage thought to herself that howling wasn't a bad idea. she took off her emerald-tinted cap, let her hair down, and began to howl like a coyote. the momentum coming from her was quite hilarious since she was only 5'4, but she loved the bit of adrenaline from the tiny action. this was her favorite accomplishment so far. sage was ecstatic; she finally had a story to tell that wasn't one she read! the girl looked around, her eyes landing on nolan for a second too long before adverting them somewhere else.

wow. california was so much hotter than seattle ever was. she wasn't sweating too terribly, but she was definitely more moist than she would have liked. her sunglasses were keeping her eyes from wincing, and her clear backpack held her wallet, her water bottle, sunscreen, etc. she knew that it would be, and luckily dressed accordingly; crop top, shorts, hair braided back, etc. since they were traveling all over the place, she had packed a wide variety of clothing, since some of their stops would be hotter than others which were cooler. she loved all of her friends dearly, and she was extremely looking forward to this fun journey that they had ahead of them. of course, there was someone that she already missed more than life itself; her little brother mason. she was worried that her parents wouldn't take proper care of him, now that she was gone. she had been the one who had done the grocery shopping, cooked the meals, helped him pick out his outfits, packed his lunch for school. basically everything that a mother would have done. but this summer away from him would prepare her for the next few years away from him, get her ready to being at college in another state, hundreds of miles away from the child dearest to her heart.

standing on the edge of the hollywood sign, all the way at the end hanging off of the letter 'd', she looked out at california's expanse infront of her. it was beautiful, although the air was definitely more smoggy than she would have liked; not that they could do anything about that. she hoped that at least one of the places they visited had beaches; maybe she could even convince her friends to visit the beach here before they got back on the road! that would be wonderful. the beach was a secret love in her heart. when she was young, her uncle would take her to florida each summer and taught her how to surf. obviously she didn't bring a surfboard on this trip, but she was sure that there would be places along the beaches that she could rent from. it would be so much fun to be out among the waves again.

she jumped when she heard what appeared to be a howl, falling off of the sign and landing straight on her butt in the dusty dirt. she sat there for a moment, trying to understand what had happened, before realizing that the howling was coming from her friends, and she began to giggle loudly, letting out a playful, melodic howl of her own as she pulled herself back to her feet, brushing the dust off of her butt as she walked over to the group, placing her hands on nolan's shoulder. he was so talented, and honestly such a sweetheart at times, when he let people in that is. "please tell me that you brought a stand for your camera in that bag; i want to take a big group picture of everyone infront of the hollywood sign!" she exclaimed, dramatically falling backwards with her hand over her head. giggling again, she looked out at the whole group this time as she spoke again. "hey, since its so hot, and this is cali, how about we head down to the beach after we get back to the car? i am dying to have some fun in the ocean!"
