even the sun sets in paradise,
The sky was clear and free of clouds — even though they should be lumbering around the borders, as though watching a party they were not allowed to attend from afar, they were nowhere to be found. Tal was currently making her way across the front of the Aphrodite cabin, so the air smelled of expensive Chloé perfume, flowers, and fresh air. It seemed as though fresh air had a smell today...the air was extremely...fresh-feeling? Was that even a legimate word/phrase? Whatever.
Ugh, now it felt as though the smell of thick, rich, flowery Chloé perfume was suffocating her...maneuvering out of the perfume zone, Tal crutched over to a bench and gratefully sat down on it. Her mousy brown hair still smelled like perfume, though, and it didn't help that she had used December's "Taylor Swift: Wonderstruck" perfume earlier today, spraying it on her wrist, and in Bailey's hair, for fun. So now she and Bailey, along with presumably Em, smelled like perfume. She sniffed her hair and her stomach rolled. How did Aphrodite girls stand the intoxicating smell? And the boys? How did Aphrodite guys stand their tittery siblings? Jesus, they were probably insane. With a giggle, Tal remembered the time she and Bailey's girlfriend had taken all the eyeliner in the cabin and hidden it, and left Tal's iPod there to record their reactions. It was full of squealing and screaming. Seriously, screaming. But it was just eyeliner. Much as Tal detested Skye, that had been a pretty good prank.
She looked around...the courtyard was full of campers. Some squealing, some gossiping, some just hanging around. She'd never seen so many people out here before. This was pretty insane. But Tal wasn't squealing or gossiping with anyone. She was just kinda there.
Shrugging, she took her notebook out of her jeans' butt pocket and began using her very messy scrawl to record what she thought her next prank should be. This was tricky, as she wouldn't be quick as usual thanks to what had happened last time she pranked someone — aka broken her ankle. But whatever. She was planning on trying to keep going after a week or so-long break. Maybe she could get Bailey to help.
all of my change i've spent on you,
