Devi was used to meeting new people, plenty of conventions and meet and greets over the years had primed her for strangers but this was a bit different..and considering everything, she felt a little out of place. Eyeimg one of the other contestants by the pool she sidled over to them with what she hoped was an approachable smile. “So are you more of a May or a Lilliana…or an Ishy?” Devi asked, wondering if they’d even watched the first season the way she had.

the only footsteps helle had plans on following were zac efron’s,   (what?   high  school  (musical)  love never dies),   but whatever,   she’ll play.   proving her knowledge,   her capability,   has always been her plight in life.   “well,   hold on   -   this is nicole erasure,   and i won’t stand for it.”   she laughs,   prom queen smile firmly in place.   “though i couldn’t speak to our likeness.   i respect the ‘chaos is a girl’s best friend’ game,   but i’m more inclined toward diamonds myself.”   she’s joking,   but perhaps to the wrong audience.   “and you?   clearly something about those three stood out to you.”

“ Do you think your family will find out you’re here? ” Cam asked, operating under the assumption that everyone else was also lying to their parents — or, okay, maybe lying wasn’t the correct term, but withholding details. She knew she was old enough to make her own decisions, but that didn’t stop their stomach from rolling when they thought about displeasing anyone. “ My daddies would probably be pissed if they knew I watched reality television, so they’re… not gonna love this. ”

"oh,   they’ll definitely be finding out,   but that’s the beauty of being trapped in a house with no outside connection   -   we may as well be on a different planet,   right?   just channel your inner alien superstar and have fun.”   disappointing parents is reality television 101.   the real problem would be disappointing the rest of the world,   but she’s not about to make an atlas out of someone who’s clearly got enough weight on their shoulders.   “you’re cam,   right?   i’m a dancer too,   but pointe destroys me every time.”

while  he  may  have  extended  some  form  of  charm  at  time  ,  there  was  no  mistaking  aless  for  a  kindly  gentleman  or  anything  close  .  the  news  of  roommate  assignments  had  been  interesting  and  sure  enough  ,  he  was  certain  whomever  his  bedmate  was  would  be  just  fine  for  him  ,  his  tastes  extending  far  and  wide  .  in  their  room  he’s  unpacking  his  suitcase  ,  his  presence  known  far  before  she  enters  ,  a  certainty  that  he  would  be  there  first  fond  to  him  .  he  cranes  his  neck  to  spot  her  ,  “  oh  ,  hello  there  roommate  .  i  hope  you’re  not  expecting  me  to  forfeit  my  side  of  the  bed  ,  “  he  gestures  ,  a  menacing  grin  ,  idiocy  indoctrinated  into  him  at  times  by  his  upbringing  ,  a  lack  of  boundary  or  respect  .  “  it’s  2023  ,  i  promise  i  don’t  snore  …  i’m  even  willing  to  do  you  a  favour  and  let  you  be  the  little  spoon  tonight  .  “  

boarding school long ago taught her how to handle,   and lose,   any adequate sense of privacy,   but it looks like she’s in for another lesson;   this  time,   on how to deal with sharing a double bed with double the ego.   “aw,   you.”   click,   click go her heels before she finds her spot in the center,   her (louis vuitton) luggage parked by the door.    “sounds like a perfect fit!   i probably wouldn’t have been able to reach around your big head anyway.”   punctuated by a wink,   then her attention is off him,   in part to intentionally deny him of it,   but more in curiosity of the space around her.   “so this is home sweet home,   huh?   how...   hotel-chic.   though my expectations were more hostel vibes,   so i guess i’m lucky?”   her gaze lands on him at her last word,   daring him to make an assumption on the potential implication.   channeling the spirit of parvati shallow has never been so easy.
