[3] COME ON, EILEEN | A. TVEIT ✔️

0.2 a curious bohemian

"and then I ran face first into a stop sign." Aaron retold that morning's antics to a crowd of students.

this was somewhat usual for the cast made up of misfits. their show made a point to welcome everyone, hosting their first of many Q&A's for high schoolers of needier parts of the state, knowing how much power there was in stories. he would probably never forget how that woman had looked at him over a spilled coffee, sure it was cold and they both looked like they were late but still. there had to be a back story for that much hatred behind her green eyes.

"that was the universe punishing you preemptively for spilling that girl's coffee." Karen knew exactly who that had been from a detailed description (which sounded like a blooming crush but she'd keep quiet), she'd much rather add fuel to the fire though.

a most unlikely meeting, Olivo met Flanagan during a chaotic evening in Hamilton Chicago. Lin had been desperate for someone to hold the show together and who'd dare to say no to him? despite her less than easy personality, Eileen was well wanted by people she met. with the exception of most men.

"one more question!" Tam announced in a grand voice. "from that gentleman with a very ugly sweater."

their leading man was the only one with a confused look while everyone else was in on the plan.

"oh, hi! I am clearly not a high schooler but my question is very important. My name is Jake and my question is for Aaron." once it was clear that Jake Gyllenhaal was speaking, some squeals could be heard throughout the audience. "Aaron, would you be my man of honor? before anyone corrects me, this way sounds better than best man."

knowing his friend, she had just texted Eileen, leaving dramatics for her boyfriend. he faked a deep thoughtful face before answering.

"well, since you seem so keen on the idea, I guess I can open a spot for you on my agenda."

"great, man, thanks! I'll add you to the chat!"

sure enough, this wedding was all over social medias once Aaron was finally able to check his phone.

I know you're not
"looking for someone"
but look at May's maid of
honor

(unaware of previous events, Tom just followed into his aunt's matchmaking steps.)

tomholland2013
just don't talk to her

or let anyone know that
you know it's her

bc I wasn't supposed to
know

but Nina said you'd make
a cute couple and I agree

anyways, I just gave into
pressure and decided to
share a profile with no
second intentions

I'll go check her profile
before we're sucked into
another chat.

(in spite of his age, Aaron tended to be rather youthful in his communication to others. something told him that this girl was not going to be easy. how had he never met her given both were such good friends with Martina was a mystery.)
