Summary
Toni is a misfit, content with her tight-knit group of friends and focused on securing a spot for the Palm Springs trip. But when Shelby, the polished and privileged girl she least expects, starts to interfere, everything begins to change.
Shelby is everything Toni resents, yet as they spend more time together, Toni finds herself drawn to the unexpected softness beneath Shelby’s perfect exterior.
What starts as frustration soon shifts to something deeper, leaving Toni to navigate the confusing space between desire and uncertainty.

Summary
Shelby, driven by a desire to explore life (and her sexuality) outside of her small-town Texas upbringing, convinces her parents under false pretenses to let her attend college at UCLA. There, she meets her new roommate, Toni, and when they agree to fool around with no strings attached, she gets more than she'd bargained for.
And maybe starts to find herself along the way.

Summary
A peek into Shelby's thoughts and feelings as she falls in love with Toni.
Companion piece to 'Say It Out Loud'.
Note: I recommend not only reading SIOL first, but having it up in another tab to follow along with as a reference while you read this one. This fic leaves out enough details on a scene-by-scene basis that it'll be confusing otherwise, and is dependent directly on SIOL to help fill in the blanks during scenes that are present in both fics. So please use both, and don't bother with this one if you haven't read the original yet because it will make zero sense as a standalone!

Summary
Toni and Shelby have a somewhat complicated relationship. In their freshman year, they had been quite close since Martha was quick to make friends with the girl from out of state. They soon only spoke on occasion and when Martha was around, as Shelby withdrew herself from their lunch table and began having lunch with her new boyfriend: Andrew along with his friends. What made the bond completely snap in half was when Toni got her first girlfriend, Regan at the start of sophomore year. After Toni & Regan broke up, Toni became angrier than ever and didn’t care if she hurt the feelings of the ‘friendly neighbourhood’ Christian girl.
So when they’re forced to work together for a school project, they are forced to put aside their differences, causing a fresh new dynamic between the two to occur, changing their life’s for good.
(All characters are 18 unless specified)

Summary
Toni hasn't heard from Shelby in five years, not outside The Unsinkable Seven's groupchat anyway. Not until she gets an invitation to Shelby’s wedding. The week long event drags up a lot of unspoken feelings for the pair, including the one that's taken Toni most by surprise; that she is not at all over little miss perfect.
