the list!
(alphabetical order!)

TOPHER LANE[/font][/b]

twenty-five.

BEST FRIENDS+ PARTNERS IN CRIME + FLIRTS + CRUSH + TRUST+ ADMIRES.

“Holla to the City Mouse! … and I’ll pause a moment so you can insert the “holla back!” Done yet? Good. Anyway, Cora’s probably one of the better things to stumble into my life. And I didn’t just use the word “stumble” figuratively. I forget which bar it was or whatever, but I do remember one of her heels impaling my foot. And, of course, making a complete ass of myself the next moment with my very smooth, “the moles on your arm look like a constellation of stars.” Seriously? I mean, a “did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” might have been less lame. Luckily, she ignored the fun faux pas when we met again, even going so far as to admitting she recognized me. THE SHOCK. But, really, it’s kind of hard to remember the beginning of that, especially now… I mean, I know it’s been, what? Two years? But I can honestly not picture my life without her in it. Cora’s pretty much amazing… not only a good person, but my favorite person. Which, considering Captain America used to hold that position, is saying a lot. I just – ah, nevermind…"

twenty.

CLOSE FRIENDS + INSEPARABLE.

I would definately say that Cora is one of my best friends here. We have alot of stuff in common, and we just kind of clicked. I was at Starbucks, probably six months ago, and spilled coffee all over myself. I had a class within the next ten minutes, so I was freaking out in the bathroom, and Cora was there to help with a Tide stick and a smile. We started talking and just kind of clicked, as cliche as that sounds. I was still late to class that day, but whatever. I gained a really close friend, so it's totally worth it. But, recently, we've been feeling a little...tension. I know that Topher and Cora are totally head-over-heels for each other, and I'm not totally sure that Cora is comfortable with Topher and I being such good friends, especially since we're exes. Hopefully she'll get over it soon. I would really hate to lose either of them as a friend.
