she was on the brink of a breakdown … lowkey though lowkey. how could the golden arches betray her like this ? the ice cream machine being broken was strike one but running out of french fries ? a case for the fucking fbi. were the golden arches a ploy ? was mcdonald’s just a front for money laundering ? … perhaps it was a mattress firm situation. regardless, she found herself scraping the bottom of the barrel –– harry’s. wasn’t her first choice, obviously, but at this point it was better than chewing her hoodie string. which she’d rightfully considered. “ get better security then. the ghost of harry himself let me in … like i don’t know what to tell you. ” half-assed shrug thrown in his direction. “ look, can i just like … mosey on into the back and help myself to some fries ? that shit goes straight to the dumpster anyways. i mean, who’s the better option ? me or a feral raccoon ? ” a beat. “ don’t answer that you’ll crush my soul, dude. ” a hand splayed across her chest as if the seams of her heart were tearing by the second. a dramatic act soon tossed aside to favor the check propped upon a tabletop. “ damn .. $10 on an $80 ? sucks, but … ” she squinted. “ for a good time call …. rebecca. 555-6527. ”
tate looked up to see none other than his favourite annoyance , sunday wexler . he chuckled as he shook his head , throwing the rag over his shoulder for a well - earned break . “ right , usually we don’t need no security , customers don’t go barging in at – ” he made a point to take a look at his worn out leather watch , “ twelve o’three . ” the server took a second to scan the dining room , half - listening to his friend’s request , making sure nothing was out of order . “ a racoon . ” he replied with a sweet grin the second she finished her sentence , now giving her his full attention . he propped his hands on his waist as he observed the other reading the last check of the night , he hadn’t looked at it yet . the tip was enough for him to purse his lips , some people were so cheap that he was sure made harry roll over in his grave . “ fuckin’ becky , ” he shook his head , taking the receipt from sunday and crumpling it up . “ i think i’m worth at least 20 $ , ” he threw it in the nearby trash can , “ i’ve heard people who tip their servers like shit are a bad fuck . it’s science . ” the boy nodded his head towards the kitchen , inviting the other to follow him . “ you’re lucky i always save food to bring back , also to feed frank the feral racoon but i guess we’ll let him and his family starve today . ” he teased , opening the doggy bag he had packed up not even minutes prior . “ riddle me this , why did you decide to barge in harry’s of all places for some fries ? did ya miss me already ? ”

headcanons .
long story short tate comes from a big southern family ( they’re 6 kids ) that didn’t have enough money to pay for college . his dad is the town sheriff & his mom is a vet . he grew up on a little farm & has been playing baseball since forever . he had ( and still kinda has ) troublemaker tendencies but tried to clean it up due to his mom asking upon falling ill . whew .
tate is a criminal justice major half because it is one of the easier programs to get into and half bc he knew his dad would approve . no clue what he wants to do with it :/ .
he is also a part of the baseball team ( the pitcher ) , the kid is pretty talented ngl but if he wants to make it to the mlb , he has to get more serious about it . it is also the only way he got into the school , through a scholarship . which means , if he’s off the team , he’s not going to stay in uni .
he doesn’t have a lot of book smarts , almost embodies the dumb jock stereotype , but he’s not very involved in the #gainz life . although ( drugs tw ) he does partake in the whole performance enhancing drugs & recreational thing .
i wanna say he keeps quite a lot to himself , like he’ll only tell people as much as he wants them to know . aside from southern baseball player , people gotta get to know him .
he works as a server at the harry’s bar & grill to make ends meet because his parents are sure as hell not paying for his apartment or his substance consumption . he will 10/10 flirt for tips , gotta get that bread . will offer employee discount to his friends .
personality wise , he has great sense of humor and rarely takes anything personally ( or seriously for that matter ) . always down for a good laugh & bad decisions . will outdrink anyone , he has experience since he was 13 don’t try him . loyal mf as well , will stand up for those closest to him . not a big fan of rich ppl eek he’s a lil bitter don’t mind him .
random facts .
this boy has watched spongebob since the dawn of time and loves it still.
loves horseback riding ( horse boy lmao ) , he was an instructor for awhile and sometimes still does . they have a couple back home .
thinks / wants to be the main character .
wears baseball caps like it’s no one’s business , esp the ones w random shit written on them .
despite not being book smart , he reads and re-reads his childhood classics aka his mom’s favourite books such as the outsiders ...
knows how to clean well !! cook .. still working on it .
LOVES <3 eating .
makes impulsive decisions bc he thinks it’s a great idea , not always but ... it’s the thought that counts .
he’s familiar w legal loopholes bc he had ~experience~ & bc he’s SEEN his father .
the preston family is messy . there’s always some drama / gossip going on tbh . latest family tea : they think the youngest preston is not from the same father .
plots : roommates , tutor , cousins , +++ everything else !!
