| Players 6: |
Your hands on me; pressing hard against your jeans
Your tongue in my mouth, trying to keep the words from coming out
You didn't care to know who else may have been you before

| Linguistics of The Game |
I want a lover I don’t have to love
I want a girl who’s too sad to give a fuck.

The ambiguity of high school is inescapable; the archetypes we are categorized under are just as much a part of that niche as is the homework on the board and the tests we study (and sometimes not) so diligently for.

We know them not so much for their name anymore, but the methods in which they operate their game. And, perhaps, the game itself is the most identifiable aspect of their sport.

The broken hearts strung along are muddied through the lies, the gossip, and the deceit. Broken -- a brokenness not reserved only for the prey, but for those partaking in the hunt as well. It’d be so easy to draw a line, color everything black and white, and revert to a simplistic mindset, denouncing the parallels between grey intervals in the definitions of “good and “bad.” The players -- personifying all that’s revered admirable, untamable, and irresistible, are “bad.” Their victims -- manipulated and ignorant to a game they failed to recognize was keeping score, are the “innocent victims.” We take our sides, chastise some for their emotional recklessness and others for their naivety. Narrow-mindedness deceives us into believing this is where the story ends; the end all, be all.

But when it comes to the complex matters of the heart, we should all know by now that our story, like any good story and the people who create it, don’t end there. That there are interlaying variables that play a very intricate role. That outside of a Cruel Intentions world, nothing, no one, is ever just black and white.

| Galveston Island, Texas |
I got a hunger and I can’t seem to get full
I need some meaning I can memorize
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind

Galveston Island, Texas, population 60,000. It almost seems ideal. Not just a summer vacation hot spot, but to live. With temperatures averaging in the low 80’s during the summer and the high 50’s in the winter, Galveston is one of Texas’s best kept secrets that’s not so much a secret to those who inhabit the Lone Star State. Located just 50 miles south of Houston, Galveston isn’t just an ideal permanent vacation home, but also resident to historical memorabilia and Moody Gardens.

Ball High school, the only public high school in an independent school district that schools approximately 9,500 students, opened its doors on March 4th, 1886, and operated under the motto “Best school south of St. Louis and west of the Mississippi.” Carrying on with over 100 years of academic excellence, Ball High School has undergone many changes and scores amongst the top schools in the state in its scholastic scores.

But it’s not the academia and sports notoriety that bring the inner hallways their glory. It’s not the trophies or the certificate cluttered walls. It’s the gossip; the whispers and the hushed boasts. The non-tangible scoreboard kept up between a group of guys, mere boys even, who are as much engaged with gouging their competition on the field as they are in gouging it off. And then there are those with no affiliation who flounder about aimlessly, and conduct a game of Solitaire, competing amongst no one outside of themselves. Together they all play an intermediate role in the realm that exists for stringing along and breaking hearts.

Their victims, sometimes willing and sometimes not, are pawns on a chess board used to facilitate a game of vanity and self-indulgence. A game few ever win, but plenty lose.

Life’s no storybook
Love’s an excuse to get hurt
And to hurt

| Junior Players |

Taken By: New York City
Name: Anthony Cotrina
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior.
Theme Song: ---
History: While most people can tell you the sickeningly sweet or boring tale of how their parents met, fell in love, and had children Anthony can't really tell you that. What he knows of his parents could fit on a post-it and there'd still be room left over. Sean was found left on the steps of St. Augustine's as a baby and spent his formative years in an orphanage. From what he gathered snooping as a child, in the headmaster's office, he found that his mother had been raped as a teenager by a man now imprisoned, and realized early on that she didn't want to keep the baby. He doesn't blame her because he wouldn't have wanted the reminder either. He was adopted at the age of nine by the Millers, a small infertile family, who had already adopted two girls and in years later another son. Anthony, at the least, felt awkward in their home. They were constantly smiling at him, trying to make him feel as comfortable and welcomed as humanly possible which only succeeded in making him feel awkward as hell. It wasn't for months that Anthony realized that Angela and John Miller were always like that. A fact that, since learned, has irritated the hell out of Anthony. While he loves his mother and father to death, they're the most annoying people he's ever met barring insane teachers. They're always in the mood to talk, and constantly want to have as open a relationship as possible. His mother is head of the PTA and his dad contributes insane amounts of money to the Athletic Department, partially because of Anthony's involvement in the Soccer and Basketball Teams. Unfortunately, no one but his three other siblings seem to understand just how annoying they really are because the general consensus seems to be that his parents are the coolest.
Personality: Like most teenagers, Anthony's adaptable to most situations, and for that reason you can't exactly pin some sort of stereotype or label on him. Because depending on who you are in the grand scheme of things you may see Anthony in a different light than others. Anthony's nothing like those annoying rumors of players who leaves a girl crying after crudely telling her that the relationship is over; most girls know that Anthony's not the guy for long term commitment. He's got a short attention span, one in direct proportion to the length of a girl's skirt, and the shorter the better. He gets antsy in relationships and when the possibility of any girl uttering the L word, he more or less high tails it out as soon as possible. It's high school, Anthony doesn't want to be tied down. But even with that in mind, most girls can't hate him because he's rather upfront about it and he's got a charming character. Anthony has the uncanny ability to make you smile when you feel like crap, even if it makes him seem a little less than manly. He's a people person, an innate sense to figuring out what you want or need when you want or need it. And he's nice enough to give it to you if he can.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity Soccer Team. Varsity Basketball Team. National Honor Society.
Little Black Book: If you're counting it, then chances are you aren't enjoying it as much as you could -- as Anthony would say. But he knows that keeping a count of how many girls you have had sex with will prove a much needed ego boost, some time. So to be blunt, he's slept with fourteen girls. And none of them were one-night stands, something he's quite proud of.
Target: Anthony's always had an interest in the naivete of teenage girls. Y'know the type who believe that rainbows and butterflies run the world and that everyone is truly good on the inside. It's a beautiful idea, really it is but it's just not realistic. And Anthony's always enjoyed showing such naive girls the reality of the world that they live in. Girls like Hope Daguerre and Roxie Miller. And because they're so innocent, it's never much of a challenger getting to know them. While other guys are searching for a true challenge, Anthony's perfectly content with girls like Hope & Roxie.
PB: Sean Faris.

Name: Hadrian Del Mar
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: "The Dark of the Matinee" - Franz Ferdinand
History: Hadrian is the second, though not last, son to Maria and Felipe Del Mar. There's nothing really special nor interesting about his parents, they have no exciting love story about how they met, nor do they have a tragically interesting divorce tale. They were nothing more than two people who attended the same university, hooked up, had a few up's and down's, and then got married and had a bunch of babies. Just like married people everywhere. There was a time when Hadrian thought his family would be torn apart, and was almost excited by it as well. His father had been sneaking around with a young woman who lived next door - a little too young, in fact Hadrian was fourteen at the time yet wondering why the woman would pick his father instead of him. Anyway, it went on for awhile, and whether or not it is still happening is a mystery to Hadrian, he's long since lost interest in his father. His mother probably knew, but never had the nerve to speak up, so while Hadrian's life had the potential to be interesting, his mother dashed his hopes by being submissive. However, his father's rendezvous did end up doing something else to make Hadrian's life a little more, busy. He influenced him with the way he made women melt by merely saying a few words, and the way his father lived such an active sexual lifestyle, which was funny because his father was a big-boned balding man. The point was, if his father ws able to do all this, Hadrian figured he might as well be too, and he and his father seemed to be both be in the same situation - bored beyond belief. That was his father's way of dealing with boredom and his mediocre life and it seemed to be working, so Hadrian gave it a shot too. With, women his age though. He wasn't as messed up as his father, but that's how his player-dom began.
Personality: Because Hadrian's older brother left to go to Mexico to make money betting in **** fights, Hadrian has been left as the designated 'man of the house' after his father. Which means that his four younger siblings all look up to him. As much as Hadrian doesn't mind his lifestyle, he doesn't want to be to them what was his father was to him, so Hadrian leads somewhat of a double life. At home he's the role model, the big brother who fixes toys and feeds the baby, and reads bedtime stories to his brothers and sisters. At school, he's the suave ladies' man, acting like ever the desperado. It's amazing what an accent and being able to sing and play a guitar mariachi style will get you. When he is at school being a scandalizing player, it's not like he's a bad person. At least, Hadrian doesn't think so. Hadrian isn't quite into the part of the game where you stab the girl in the heart, Hadrian tends to let them down easy. He's doing this because there's nothing better to do, not because he likes to see people miserable. In fact, many times he feels guilty about it. But not guilty enough to stop him from playing the game. He enjoys the sleeping around part a lot more than the breaking up part, so after he lands a girl in bed he keeps his distance and lets their "relationship" whither away on its own. It's easier on the girl.
Extra Curricular Activities: Baseball, Track & Field, and Photojournalism.
Little Black Book: Since he was fourteen, Hadrian has been with around twenty-two women. About four of those were brutal heart-breaks, the last one, at the end of his sophomore year, was what proved to him that he wasn't mean for heart-breaking. He destroyed this girl and it destroyed a part of him, ever since then he's been a sort of... a handicapped player, if you will.
Target: Hadrian used to have a fondness towards good girls. The good wholesome virgins-until-they-met-him type, sorts like Sophia Teagan and Regina Shallard. He definetly has a soft spot for girls like them, the type who stop to plant the flowers while everybody else is too busy smelling them, and they are well deserving of his attention. The problem is that he realized that his influence just ruined people like that. Take his ex, Lanie Rivers, for example. Really sweet girl until he broke her heart, and now she's like a serial killer going through menopause. Hadrian doesn't really blame her, but it really bothers him to know that he's the one who made her something else. That's why, this time around in the game his first target is the exact opposite. He's done a little research by asking around with his friends, and they've all said that she's ruthless, and she's never gotten her heartbroken by a man. While some might go after Tierney Pembrooke because she's a challenge, Hadrian's going after her because she's safe and he can't hurt her.

Taken By:Spinbeneathyou.
Name: Hugo Del Mar.
Age: Nineteen
Grade: Junior (put back because he was in Mexico).
Theme Song: None.
History: Hugo is the first, son to Maria and Felipe Del Mar. There's nothing really special nor interesting about his parents, they have no exciting love story about how they met, nor do they have a tragically interesting divorce tale. They were nothing more than two people who attended the same university, hooked up, had a few up's and down's, and then got married and had a bunch of babies. Just like married people everywhere. Hugo is the family member that no matter how much wrong he does is always the son the mother loves the most and he takes advantage of this. When he was seventeen he left to Mexico and gambled all his families money on **** fight and now he is back to redeem himself. Filling his mother with hope by telling her that he will finish high school like his brother Hadrian and will support the family he was accepted back into the family. His words were all lies, even though Hugo is a rebel he does follow his family morals unlike his brother. He will sleep with as many white women as he can, but he would never get involved with one like his brother. Hugo knows when all is said and down he will marry a nice virgin Mexican girl who will have ten kids and will make his mother happy, hence why he is the favourite.
Personality: Hugo is back home, but he isn’t helping with the family because he knows his good-hearted brother will take over all the responsibility. Instead, Hugo has made the garage his bedroom and basically sits on his ass watching television while his mother brings him his dinner and kisses him on the head telling him what a great son he is. He’s life is easy and he has no responsibilities expect for making himself happy. Hugo is also racist in the sense that he never trusts “white” people because of their opinions and views towards the Mexicans and the way they stereotype Mexicans as criminals and low lives(it doesn’t help that Hugo is a criminal). Hugo spends his life complaining of all the misfortunes life has put in front of him, but he never does anything about it and continues to be lazy forcing his younger brother to cover up for all his mistakes (like the one time he broke into school to steal the computers). Fundamentally Hugo is immature and will never grow up because he doesn’t like to take responsibility for his own actions.
Extra Curricular Activities: Stealing anything that he can carry.
Little Black Book:A lot. Counting the girls Hugo has been with, would be like counting how much money he wasted on **** fights.

Taken By: Redtalon
Name: Wiley Irons
Age: 17
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight by Tobey Keith
History: Wiley was born to Gray and Samantha Irons....a pair of lawyers that are both rather successful. He is the last of four children, Laurel, Stanley and Brentford. It seemed like they saw more of their nanny then they did their own parents at times because of how busy they could get and Wiley's sense of humor seemed to come out more as a way to get attention then anything at first....pulling off little practical jokes here and there to get a rise out of his siblings and parents. And more often then not, it worked. But they never seemed to see the humor in the situation the way he did....sheesh, was he the only one that had an actual functioning sense of humor or what? Once they were older and in junior high and high school, his siblings had no trouble in saying that they wanted to follow in the footsteps of their parents and become lawyers themselves. When his father asked what he wanted to do for a living, Wiley simply shrugged and said he hadn't figured out just yet, but he had a long time to decide before high school was over. Photography is one of his personal joys and he can be found with a camera almost always...another of his hobbies is drawing and at the risk of being concieted, he knows he's got some talent. Yet another little "quirk" in his personality that wasn't recieved so well was the fact that he dug the guys right along with the girls....geez, you'd think the 'rents were lost in biblical times with how they protested the fact that he hooked up with guys and they weren't even religious. Well now it's junior year and he's still doing his own thing whether the family likes it or not....they need to have at least one kid that shakes things up or they'd really never have any excitement in their lives.
Personality: Wiley's a joker and a smart @ss....but he does have a serious side to him that he tries to avoid as much as possible. Life's short, why not have fun? He does have a good heart and that much is almost always obvious. His conquests are at least given warning that it's just for the fun of things and he's not out for a long term relationship....sometimes subtle, sometimes not quite so. Now a return booty call is all good...just none of this boyfriend stuff. Though if the right someone came along and rang his bell good, that just might change.
Extra Curricular Activities: Photography, drawing
Little Black Book: If he had to list them he's probably gotten the total hook up with around 10 chicks and 6 guys...and counting.

Taken By: FAIT_Accompli
Name: Noah Winthrop
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: "Trouble" by Coldplay
History: Noah used to always whine about how dull his life was and how nothing ever happened. Because obviously being an only child with two parents who never divorced is a horrible thing. He yearned for the complications his friends’ families had, somehow convinced that that was the route of an interesting life. His parents never divorced, he didn’t have an older brother with a drug problem, and he didn’t have a sister who was pregnant by sixteen. Noah took his uncomplicated, “good” life for granted, and when things finally did start to turn for the worse, it was a wake-up call. Nancy Winthrop was only thirty-five when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Noah, then twelve, knew the word “cancer” was bad, but could never of forseen the toll it was to take on his family. The chemotherapy left Nancy too tired to even make her son lunch in the mornings, and Noah’s father took on additional hours at work to compensate for Nancy’s leave of absence from her own work. When she first started losing her hair, Noah was there putting the fallen strands in a baggie as she cried in the bathroom. It was then Noah found himself wishing he could go back to his boring, “uneventful,” cancer free life. For three years, Noah helped his mother in the bathroom, in the shower, and in the last few moments, he even helped her eat and walk. Nancy Winthrop lost her battle with breast cancer at just thirty-eight. Noah was fifteen. Two years later and the house is just as empty and quiet as the last day she breathed life in it. Since then, Noah’s been lucky to see his father at all, as he’s off to work before Noah wakes up, and the two both get home late; they rarely bother to check to see if the other even got home safe. Noah rarely speaks of his family though. As far as most people are concerned, Noah’s mother is probably still alive.
Personality: Noah’s got something of a split personality. At least that’s how he excuses his behavior most of the time. In retrospect, Noah’s really not so bad a guy. Even his bad reputation isn’t all that ‘bad.’ He understands the concept of respecting your elders, holding your tongue during inappropriate times to speak, and he knows how to exercises his ‘pleases’ and his ‘thankyous.’ Noah’s even got a pretty good repertoire with the girls he’s been with; those of the broken-heart variety and those who parted still on good terms. Because while Noah’s interest is never tied down for more than a couple of weeks at a time, he treats his prospects good. Noah will pull out the chair and open the door for you. He’ll even give you pet names and leave a rose in your locker. The problem with Noah doesn’t rear its ugly little head when he’s doting on you. It doesn’t even make an appearance when he’s letting you down gently and telling you it’s time to split. It’s when the little affections you thought were reserved only for you begin making exhibitions for someone else. Although it’s never been Noah’s intent, he has an affinity for making people feel like shit. But what can he do? He’s male and lacks creativity, so his lines are recycled and his roses are garden picked rather than store bought. And in spite of his reputation, Noah still doesn’t see himself much of a ladies man. It’s one of the unfortunate stigmas that gets pinned to any guy who’s on a sports team and enjoys the casual aspect of dating. He doesn’t go out of his way to break hearts. He’s just not good at taking responsibility for it when it does happen.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity Football and Track and Field.
Little Black Book: Not that Noah would ever consider any of the girls he’s been with “conquests,” there’s still no dismissing the fact that he’s been with quite a number of girls. Sixteen to be exact. And it’s not like he’s into the casual sex aspect of the “game” or anything. Noah remembers every single girl’s name he’s been with. He can also list off their favorite colors and their favorite bands, but that’s about the extent of it. Noah may not be an insensitive jerk, but he’s not an encyclopedia either.
Target: Noah lacks the cunning guile to orchestrate an elaborate plan to bed the woman of Ball High School. His approach is a much more traditional one that usually involves a handful of roses and a box of chocolates. There’s even less method involved in the girls themselves. Noah usually plays things by ear. Girls like Sophie Teagan and Sky Bridges are hard to miss even when it may be one’s failing attempt to refrain from doing so. Noah’s a known glutton for punishment, and the latter of the two is proof. The former is shallowly founded in the fact that Noah has always had a thing for older woman, even when they’ve only got about a year on him. There is one exception to Noah’s oft candidly friendly eye, and that’s Adelaide Epstein. Noah’s also a victim to the Madonna/Whore complex, and Adelaide’s genuine innocence is a rarity just begging to be tainted.

Name: Demona D'Arcangelo
Age: 18
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Bitch by Meredith Brooks
History: Demona Marishka D'Arcangelo was born to a wealthy buisnessman by the name of Jonas and his wife Julia in San Diego. When she was young, Demona was a happy child at one time....everything you would expect a little girl to be. But once she got to be a bit older....once she got into middle school and had her first little taste of heartache, her mother who had always been somewhat cold began to "educate" Demona in the way of how she should be....cold like marble and just as hard to not let anyone through that could possibly hurt her. And she took to those teachings quickly as they were enforced with insults and slaps when she did not "act as she should". She did indeed take to her new attitude....the uncaring bitch that she is now...though the one exception was her father, with him she could never be that way as he was the one person that truly was warm to her and showed her any kind of love. Before her 15th birthday however....that one last bit of warmth was taken from her as her father suddenly had a fatal heart attack. She never let her mother see her cry, though she was heartbroken....it was all in private that she mourned for him. After that period of mourning, the coldness took over. For some reason, seeing the look on a guy's face when she used him for what she wanted and then dumped him like yesterday's trash kept the shards of pain away. Her junior year, mother dear decided that they needed a new place to live...obviously someplace she could find someone else to fill in the role of husband if he was rich enough like Demona's father had been. At first, she wondered just what sort of amusement she would be able to find for herself, but soon she found that it might not be as boring as she had first thought. Now it's a new year and time to find other toys to play with....so to speak.
Personality: Cold, calculating and seemingly heartless....though Demona won't ever admit she actually does have feelings if someone could manage to get through all the rock that surrounds her heart. She is a pretty good actress in her own humble opinion on pretending she is so into someone and likes everything about them when it is the exact opposite in her mind.
Extra Curricular Activities: Does being a bitch and shopping count?
Little Black Book: Which one do you want to look at? Demona generally prides herself on going after the ones that say she'd never have a chance in hell of hooking up with, the ones that say bitches like her couldn't get their attention, yeah right....but it's always fun to go after the little dweebs that couldn't ever get a woman that wasn't inflatable just to play with their fragile little hearts. Seeing a guy cry is always amusing enough in her mind. Around 16, give or take a couple.

Name: Melanie De'grahm.
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: True By Ryan Cabrera
History: Unlike half of her friends she had awsome parents. When she was younger she was the lucky girl that actually got that cute little white pony on her birthday. All her friends were envious of her, they all wanted that pony. Though after a couple of years Melanie out-grew her precious pony. At age 13 she was after having her very own boyfriend. One of her friends had one, though he was ugly, she still had one. So she wanted to have a cuter boyfriend then hers. Her mother of course approved, because she wanted her little girl to be just like her when she was in high school. She wanted her to be little miss popular and have the hottest boyfriend of them all. Then she'll win Prom Queen with her precious boyfriend and she'll graduate with her A+ grades. Though her mothers vision of her is completley different of who she really is. Sure, sometimes she could be popular, with the boys and sluts. She's a player and though she loves it, she actually has fun. Her grades are okay but the thing is her mom expects the boyfriend part, she could have the prettiest boy from school, but her happiness would be shot out the window. Then just a year ago her father left them, he told them he needed a vacation because the family caused and created way to much stress that anyone could handel. Melanie hated him after that, she had no one to help her defend herself. Now its her and her mother, constantly fighting, growing more distant everyday. Home to her is pure un-happiness. Though the only thing that she can really put up with her home is her twin sister. They get along pretty good, better than other siblings do. But there is always
Personality: She's actually a really confident person. She doesn't care what people think of her. Because she already knows what they call, and when they tell her to her face. She agrees, she does think she is a Whore. Its not her fault though, if her mother would stop ****ing caring about who she brings home and if she could find a decient guy. All she really wants is a bad boy that'll take care of her. She wouldn't care if he did drugs, or smoked, she just wants one. Though its hard to find one that actually would take her serious anymore. If she goes up to them they either hate her or they think that its their lucky night. It gets very frusterating.
Little Black Book: She has 'flings'. Though she lost her virginity early on she picks carefully on who she's actually going to go all the way with. She doesn't want to become dirty, like ew. But she probably had..hm..18 flings?

Name: Abigail 'Abi' Summers
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin
History: Fairy-tales sum up to the way John Summers and Rachel Summers first met. Both from wealthy families, John and Rachel hit it off at once. They were 'in love'. Nothing could seperate the two, making them high school sweethearts throughout all four years. Fights here and there would come along, but they would always return to each others arms in happiness. In fact, John was Rachel's first boyfriend...and her only one. When senior year came along, they swore to each other that they would live in eternal happiness, have millions of children, and live in a lovely cottage out in the country. It all did happen. In fact, during their first year of college together, John proposed. Once they got married, everything went smooth sailing; like they were both living a fairy-tale life. They had two lovely boys, and yet they anticipated for that 'little princess' of theirs. Then, when Abigail Nicole Summers was born, everything went haywire. John, a surgent, was always out at 'work', which Rachel begged to differ. His beeper always went off, middle of the nights, during soccer games, birthdays, and what so. But, hey, aren't all surgents workaholics? While John was out working, Rachel stayed right at home taking care of her three beautiful children; spoiling them all. They were the 'it' family, and everyone wanted to be like them. As Abigail grew older and older, less and less she saw of her father, but that didn't matter, since she got all the materials she really needed in life. It wasn't until one phone call ruined their family all together. Twelve year old Abigail was still too young to know what was going on, but when suspicious Rachel Summers picked up the doctor's beeper and called that repeated number, only a young woman's voice answered. Shocked, suspicion turned into lies, and lies turned into divorce, and before you knew it, John and Rachel Summers were no more. The fairy-tale ended, as Rachel once quoted to young Abigail. From then on, the three children only saw their father once a week, and yet that didn't stop John from seeing his other 'woman'. He re-married and had another child, and it showed Abigail that all men are filthy liars and need to be played. That's what she's been taught by her mother from then on, that men should not be trusted, that they should be used non other than a play toy, and not to get tied down and fall in love. Yet, it did show Abi, along with the way she had everything, that she needed to be the most popular, and the one with the most guys. She then became the best seducer, and the best heartbreaker at that.
Personality: Flirtatious Abi always has something up her sleeves. When it comes to having friends, she doesn't. Why? Secrets. She's packed full of them. Secretive, yet seducive. She loves to play around, mostly with guy's hearts, and takes nothing serious. She's no hopeless romantic when it comes to guys. In fact, her life revolves around her social status, that she has no thought of school what-so-ever. She loves being a huge teaser, and that's what she was taught. No one really knows Abi's true personality, but it's a sure thing that she's one of the biggest liars you'll know, and a hypocrite at that.

Name: Tierney Tier Pembrooke.
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior .
Theme Song: "You're So Vain" By Carly Simon.
History: Pembrooke. There isn’t much more that one to should say about anyone that belongs to that family. The name says it all. Tierney was born to money, a lavish and luxurious life. Her father was Daniel Pembrooke the partner of the horse estate, until he decided to sell it to his younger brother and pack his bags, move to Texas and start an oil company. Wealth came easily and so did marriage to the famous fashion designer Elizabeth Valentino, the both were sickly happy and he was twenty years her senior hence people thought it would be wise for him to sign a pre-nupe before he was married and after the legal proceeding they were proclaimed Mister and Mr. Pembrooke. After two years of marriage, they gave birth to their one and only daughter Tierney. From a young age, Tierney learnt to be spoilt, spending her says building (more like tipping maids and butlers to build) sand castles on of her families twenty estates around the world and being sent to the best British school, hence the accent. At the age of thirteen she dwindled into models, as forced by her mother, which later caused her to dwindle into hard drugs like cocaine and heroin. After two years of treatment her father and mother divorced, because Daniel didn’t want the pressure of Elizabeth around his daughter. That was when Tierney was set free and decided to spread her wings (eh. legs) whenever she wanted too. While observing her two cousins Levi and Cedric when she was younger, she was able to learn the tricks of the trade and learnt to make men grovel at her expensive designer high heels.
Personality: Following the Pembrooke legacy, Tierney clothing is eclectic, fun, bohemian and artistic, and so is her personality. Many find Tierney to be temperamental and snobbish, because of the way she presents herself. I mean how many high schoolers actually come to school with REAL (not those Von Dutch trucker hats people try to say is real, when they got it for twenty dollars down at the local market) designer clothes on? Being kicked out of various private schools doesn’t help Tierney’s reputation, but she uses her mothers forcing her into drug abuse as a excuse for her bad behaviour and her simple use of the pout to get daddy to nod and just pay her teachers double their teacher’s salaries to give Tierney an average of an A seems to work. She’s the modern version of Veruca Salt from Charlie and the chocolate factory, only sexier and less whiney. Tierney is just use to having everyone at her beck and call, no one has ever rejected Tierney or has dared to say no to her because they know their life would be hell if they did. She likes people being afraid of her and girls being jealous of her, it gives her a weird ego boost. Her main goal in life is not to fall in love and live the fairytale with the white picket fence, but is to have sex with as many men as she can and then spit them out, just to prove to them that women are truly the stronger and smarter sex.
Extra Curricular Activities: Sex. Kumar Sutra. Does that count? She can design clothes here and there.
Little Black Book: Tierney actually has a picture of every guy she has slept with under her bed in a shoe box and it’s usually taken while they are sleep because by that time she is running off. Her Polaroid camera is always in the back seat of her car, in case that moment does arrive and she needs her souvenir. At the moment she has the pictures of fifteen men, but some have been misplaced because the picture didn’t come out right. In the end it’s too much for a proper lady. Yeah. Right.
Crush: While most people would expect Tierney to be attracted to men in her “clique” such as Byron Bismarck and that’s not to say that she still doesn’t, it’s just she’s got something, or rather someone else on her mind. Ever since she found herself grinding up against her sophomore year biology lab partner Hadrian Del Mar, she knew she would have to make him her new pet after he saved her from dissecting a frog. She’s heard stuff about him and how affected her gets when he hurts a girl and she’s going to try to change that by increasing his popularity, no matter what her friends think of his low class status

Name: Austen Somerville Rowsgrove.
Age: Seventeen.
Grade: Junior.
Theme Song: "Toxic" By Britney Spears
History:Austen was the first and only child of Linda Anderson and Samuel Somerville. They weren’t exactly the perfect couple. From a small age Linda used men to receive pretty things. Her father use to spoil her as a child and when he died she needed someone to fill the void. Her relationships usually lasted no longer than a month and as soon as she received something relatively expensive she would leave, but with Samuel she received more than a heart shaped diamond necklace and that was a child. She was going to have an adoption until she realised the amount of child support you received for having a child. Linda was fifteen, naïve and three hundred dollars a week for having a child seemed like a small price to pay. When Austen was born, Linda realised that three hundred dollars a week barely covered the diapers, so decided to move from her small home town to Texas and that was when she me Michael Rowsgrove. At that moment she realised she had struck gold, acted as best she could and after three months they were engaged and two months after that they walked down the isle. Seems like a perfect fairytale doesn’t it? Sure. Austen didn’t care as long as she didn’t have to hear her mother whine about their money problems, which obviously disappeared when she married Michael. The only problem that faced her was the fact her stepfather had a rather attractive son, Bennett, who happens to be attracted to her as well. And this is where the story ends and a predicament begins. Two teenagers, attracted to one another trying to destroy their parents marriage for their own selfish reasons.
Personality: Austen is quite the contradiction. On the outside she has the appearance of a saint, an angel and basically anything that is associated with pureness, but on the inside she’s a vixen. Her mother’s attitude towards money and living the high life has caused Austen to become bitter and spoilt. Everything she wants she’ll get, only because she’s trying to squeeze as much patients out of her mother before she pops and Michael sees the true Linda Anderson as this will help her main goal in life which is to sleep with her step brother. Disgusting I know, but teenagers these days really have no morals, they have needs and wants. Consumerism is taking over Austen’s life, when she wants something she gets it and it’s really a easy concept to understand. No matter how high her grades she wants better, therefore she won’t be shy in engaging in sinister activities with male teachers to get what she wants and that is one thing she has learnt from her mother.
The only person she is close to is Bennett as he knows how it feels to live with someone with a brain the size of a pea and they casually exchange kisses outside the family home, walk around with hands all over each other like a couple and many of their friends know about their attraction for one another and have joined the quest to spilt their parents up.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity Soccer.
Little Black Book:Austen is more of a tease. She’s willing to do about anything but have sex with a person. She’s saving herself for her stepbrother, I know it’s every teenage girl's fairytale first time.
Target: While everyone knows she is destined to be with her step brother Benett Rowsgrove and hopefully when their parents divorce, they can elope at a Elvis Chapel in Las Vegas, she isn't keeping a closed eye to other options. If they are willing, she is ready. One person that Austen has been infatuated with for a long time is Jack Webster, her soccer coach. As you can see, Austen doesn't excatly like healthy realtionships... so who knows what the future holds

Taken By: Messed Up Girl
Name: Lana Simmons
Age: Sixteen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: -
History: Unlike so many other disaster prone families, the Simmons were normal, in fact almost boring. Her father, Bradley, had been working in a small law firm in California when he met his colleague and future wife, Valerie.
Inevitably, they grew closer and after dating for two years, got married and had Lana’s brother, Jake. Lana soon came after and life looked set and yes, mundane.
One Friday, as usual, Jake came back from soccer practice and Lana walked home from study group. Life was routine but the disconcerting thing about the day was that the pavement was bathed in blue and red lights and by the time the police accosted the kids and explained to them what had happened, Jake and Lana became orphans. Bradley and Valerie had been the hapless victims of a vicious siege at the bank and now Jake and Lana were left to their mother’s sister in Galveston Island.
Hearing about her parents’ deaths was just like reading it in a newspaper article and pinning these horrific accidents to faceless people that no longer existed.
Now six years later, her usually rebellious brother has succumbed to the idea of a loving family life but still refusing to believe what had happened, Lana never gave herself a chance.
Personality: Despite the friendly ‘girl next door’ persona Lana so often adopts, she is much more malicious than that. Perhaps it was her inability to control what happened in the past that spurred on her love of manipulating others. All of this is pretty childish and aptly so, considering that Lana pretty much stopped growing up since her parents ‘died’ and has the emotional gravity of a ten year old. Aside from all these lovely quirks, Lana is quite simply deceptive and callous. She’s pragmatic and acerbic…intelligent too, a characteristic that only heightens her other cruel abilities to screw people up and she’s proud of it. Lana has never used her turbid past as an excuse for her current behaviour. Though people often pick at the subliminal messages and think that she has a reason for doing what she does. But she doesn’t and to all those saving graces, no, thanks for asking but I don’t need to be redeemed.
Extra Curricular Activities: Prom Committee, swimming team
Little Black Book: Lana has always prioritised quality above quantity and thus, has only ever achieved four conquests since she started when she was fourteen. Lana has always prided herself on going after hard targets. It could be so easy to just pick up an eager stranger at a party but what’s the fun in that?
Target: Now with the new year, Lana has ever intention to make the most of it. While she won't deem Anthony Cotrina as a proper conquest, she has to admit that he's hot and she wouldn't mind hooking up with him for a while. As for...long term investments, Bryce Cobbs might seem way out of her league, but that's the idea. She's heard about his change of habit and she's willing to attempt a conversion. She also might consider Vincent Tressler who she thinks of like a bizarre new indie movie that you have to see and try out because it's just that weird.

Taken By:Otep
Name: Darrius Bauer
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: This is optional
History: Darrius was born a player and he will die one. His father has not once come close to settling down with anyone. He knows how to play with peoples minds and he knows how to play on peoples insecurities and he knows how to teach it. His father, Maxwell taught Darrius everything he knows. Which is probably why Darrius will end up like his old man. Day through day going through meaningless relationship, sleeping with meaningless women just for the hell of it. His father has never had a relationship to last longer then two nights in a row. Darrius was born and lived with his mother for the first six years of his life. His mother was a fling of his fathers in High School, and at the ten year reunion he found out that she had a child when he came out and asked if he was the father she replied with a simple Yes. As soon as he found out he was a father he paid for the most expensive lawyer and he got the most persuasive as well. It was a short battle but it was won easily. His mother gave up after a week of this custody battle. She didn't want to waste the money fighting him. So she gave up and Darrius was forced to move in with his father. His father taught him everything he knows. Everything from who not to trust and who to trust. Himself and himself. Yeah you can't trust anyone he always said. He told him how worthless women are and how the only thing they are good for is as a warm body and something to do. He taught him about the pleasure in sleeping around and insisted that falling in love is the worse thing that could ever happen to a person. Darrius understood every word he said and as soon as he turned thirteen he was out there doing everything he was taught. Meeting girls, making them fall for him, using his charm then crushing them like a bug. He formed a ego but it is what he calls a good time. He dresses like a wealthy brat but really his father has no real job. He was recently fired and they are now pretty much in debt but Darrius is good at acting like it doesn't bother him.
Personality: Darrius is concieted, has an ego the size of nebraska, he thinks he is gods gift to women. He has a charm that he convinced himself no women will turn down. He believes he can make any women fall for him with the snap of his fingers. Darrius takes pride in crushing others and knowing he can do it only makes his ego that much bigger. He knows how to play the sympathy card, he can make a person feel like he is there for them, make them think he will help them with anything, he is very convincing. He also thinks he can make anyone fall for him because his father told him all the right things to say. To sum it up..he comes off as prince charming and in the end he is the prince of darkness.

Little Black Book:Thirty Eight and counting. He has managed to get into the pants of almost any girl who he has looked at.

Taken By: In Fair Verona
Name: Byron Bismarck
Age: Nineteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: "Slow Hands" - Interpol
History: Nicholas Bismark is like the Donald Trump of Texas, which actually makes him more of a Kenneth Lay, but that's beside the point. He's an enterpriser in the lumbering industry, and nobody hacks down those trees and makes them into some damn smooth toothpicks like Bismarck Barks. Nicholas inherited the small trade from his father, who inherited it from his father before him. Nicholas blew it into a mass market, and he plans to pass it down to his son. No, not Byron. The good son, the golden son, Lord Augustus Abraham Bismarck! Nicholas Bismarck had a thing for naming people after historical figures, in fact he referred to his maid as Miriam (Moses' Sister). Byron assumes his dad has this weird knack because if he hadn't inherited the lumber legacy, he would have majored in History. Now, back to Miriam, whose real name is Rosa Lopez. Rosa has been working on the top floor of the Bismarck Barks building for nearly twenty years. You know how these things go, with the maids bending down to dust a potted plant and the executive sneaking a glance and then - BAM! Sex! Yeah, it was like that. Rosa and Richard had an elicit affair which his wife never knew anything about - until Rosa got pregnant. Naturally, the wife wasn't pleased but she really didn't want to divorce Richard and let all that money and the legacy that her son Augustus would inherit go away. Thus, she agreed to take him in as her own son, a Bismarck. Rosa had the baby, Richard named it Byron, and she went back to dusting. Richard treated Byron like a real son, although there was always some detachment between Byron and his "mother". He noticed growning up that she was much more affectionate with Augustus, and when he was fifteen he discovered the truth after finding some hospital documents about his birth. His parents don't know that he knows the truth, but it's not really bothering him. He'd rather be the son of two rich people than the son of a maid, anyway. Byron is spoiled like that, because his father and mother feel somewhat indebted to him for some reason, they let Byron do whatever he wants while pressuring Augustus to do better in school. It's a win-win situation for Byron because his brother will take over the company soon and he'll still be able to live luxuriously off of his end of the inheritance without doing all the work. Byron's lazy like that, because he's the scrawney little boy that isn't capable of doing anything for himself, of earning a spot on the football, lacross, and debate teams - he had to pay for them instead. He's also swindled some women into bed a few times with expensive gifts, and usually when he breaks their heart, that's what they miss the most.
Personality: Byron is a lazy elitest little prat who has no deceny nor respect towards any hardworking people. He's a spoiled little boy who expects everything to be delivered to him on a silver platter, and believes that money is what makes the world go round. He might actually be right about that last part. In the family, Byron is sort of a squib, he's a failure because anything he's able to do, Lord Augustus Something Bismarck does better. Lord Augustus was the quarterback of the football team, he won six lacrosse tournaments, he went to nationals in a debate tournament, blah blah, blah blah. Byron believes he'll be able to achieve all that his half-brother has and more by simply using money, bribery, and blackmail to get his way. Which explains how he got on the football, lacrosse and debate teams, because really - he's not very built for football, not fast enough for lacrosse, and while he might have a good head, money is the only form of persuasion he's good at, which doesn't quite comply with debate rules. So he's a failure who's good at nothing but lying on his ass and drinking a few margaritas. Some might view him as pathetic, but they don't own a yacht, do they?
Extra Curricular Activities: Football, Lacrosse, and Debate.
Little Black Book: Probably about eleven women he's slept with. Seven of those were "heart-broken" because he made them return the $100,000 diamond necklaces he bought them (which he just purchases again for the next woman).
Target: They say with money, anything's possible, and Byron is proof of that. This scrawny and awkwardly lanky boy being one of the smoothest players is definetly not natural. They also say like attracts like, which is probably why Byron targetted Bridget Cambell at the end of last year. Byron loves money just as much as women, and Bridget was like a double deal. She didn't seem to have any objections to them dating, and although both would never admit it, their relationship is rather shallow. For him it was about the game and the money and for her, well, Byron isn't sure he wants to know the reason she is still by his side. Not that he minds. While Bridget is his designated "girlfriend" (and he is still working on her), he's also a multi-tasker. He's been eyeing Tierney Pembrooke, another rich girl in their trust-fund babies clique, and girls like Tisha Anderson, and Elizabeth Harding. Notice a trend? Byron is strictly attracted to girls as rich as he is, and girls with an affinity towards money. It's something he has in common with them.

Name: Mason Blackworth
Age: 18
Grade: Senior
History: Carly Feehan and Mitch Claremont met when they were just 16. Carly was from a devout Christian family, Mitch a rebellious football player whose family barely stayed intact throughout his teen years. Their romance was something like that out of “Romeo and Juliet”, forbidden on the most part by Carly’s family after they found her sneaking out to see him night after night. However, the relationship came to a sudden halt, not because of her parents, but because 3 months into their on-again-off-again relationship, Carly discovered she was pregnant. When Mitch refused to take responsibility for his actions and accused Carly of sleeping around, she was left with only one option – the one her family gave her. She was to adopt her son out. Marg and Clem Blackworth from Galveston Island were a wealthy middle-aged couple unable to have children. After meeting them Carly decided that they should be the ones to take care of her newly born son as she wished for him the stable, loving family life that she didn’t grow up with. Marg and Clem, after much deliberation, named their son Mason and began to raise him as their own. As the story often goes with adoption cases, Mason was told about his past but unlike many has had no desire to find ethier of his parents. His life is good the way it is, he does as he pleases without much objection from ethier one of his adoptive parents – after all – to them he is a miracle.
Personality: Mason is the kind of guy you want as a friend, because if he’s not? You can pretty much bet that he’s going to make your life a living hell at one point or another. Having grown up in a household without discipline, Mason has done as he has pleased since the day he could open his mouth to utter his orders. He’s sarcastic, manipulative and so damn popular that all those around him seem to forget that he’s the nastiest piece of work that you will probably ever encounter. Sure, he’ll be nice to your face…if he wants something, and usually he does. Don’t be surprised if he’ll do whatever it takes to get what he wants, just don’t forget to take the knife out of your back when he’s done.
Extra Curricular: Varsity Football
Little Black Book: Mason doesn't make a habit of keeping his conquests a secret. If he's done it, the whole school will know about it by Monday.
Targets: Mel De’grahm, Lana Simmons, Aislin Drysdale, Elizabeth Harding and Katy Littleton. You’re no doubt thinking that this is quite a list and yes it is.

Theme Song: Denial, Revisited By The Offspring
History: Born in Australia and later moving to Texas, Rafe’s life has been far more interesting than the average teenager. His mother wasn’t exactly he picture perfect Betty Crocker’s mother (but then again who’s mother is?), spending her days swallowing Prozac while having tempter tantrums and throwing intimate objects at his father head was how Rafe spent most of his childhood. After ten years of marriage his father John gave up on his wife and decided to have an affair with an American women who had come down from Texas on a business trip. They fell in love, she feel pregnant and inevitable like 60% of the population Rafe’s parents were divorced. John had full custody of Rafe and they moved to Texas soon after the divorce. Rafe felt resentment towards his father for never actually putting enough effort in trying to help his mother recover from her depression and doesn’t understand why the marriage to a picture perfect wife and the birth of a picture perfect daughter was so rushed. At the age of fourteen the resentment turned into hate and rebelliousness and Rafe’s step mother decided that she didn’t want Rafe around her daughter, therefore John gave Rafe the keys to the pool house and Rafe was taken care of by one of the family maids, who became a mother to him. The only time his father would speak to him was to ask how school was and into ask about the last baseball match, because his father’s main concern is getting Rafe into college without having to take money from Rafe’s half sisters trust fund, hence they are hoping Rafe gets a full athletics scholarship to Ivy league school to make his father proud.
Personality: Rafe is a complicated character, but then again what teenager isn’t? He is rebellious, free spirited, determined, confused, full of angst and one of the predominate feature in Rafe’s personality is that he is in denial. Rafe is out to please everyone and his father being the main person he is wanting to please. Even though Rafe is rebellious he doesn’t let anything get in the way of achieving that athletics scholarship that Rafe’s father is counting on even his sexuality. See, Rafe is a homosexual, even though those around him would never guess it. He figured it out earlier this year when he realised that being with numerous girls is doing nothing for him and when he kissed a fellow senior male in the broom closet he realised this. That kiss drove Rafe into confusion and fundamentally into denial, which increased the amount of sex he had and has completely forgotten about the kiss.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity Baseball. Drama Club (for extra curricular).
Little Black Book:Heaps, anywhere between twenty to forty. As stated above his fundamental reason for doing so is to disguise the fact that he is a homosexual.
Target: Ever since freshman year, it is known that Rafe’s playmate was Abigail 'Abi' Summers. She was his first and from then on his meaningless escapades began. Abi and Rafe are basically a couple with no strings attached, they are both free to do whatever they please, with whomever they please and at the end of the night they would both receive what they are looking for if they needed I
Then you begin to question it all and demand there should be a twist. Well, of course there is, in case you forgot Rafe has homosexual tendances and even if he won’t admit it, is simply a homosexual. His eyes have a way of telling the truth and when he looks at Ian Ellsworth during AP calculus, he finds himself vulnerable and he knows Ian is noticing Rafe’s wandering eyes as well. Ian seems to turn around at just the right moment or bump into him in the hallways on the way to class. Is this a crush? Of course Infatuation? Most definitely.[/

[Taken By: Sundance Kid
Name: Samuel Chase
Age: Nineteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: "Stormy Weather" by Moneybrother
History: It was almost as if all of Rebecca Chase’s dreams had come true at once, that day (or was it night?) she met Daniel, a successful football player with his future all lined up in front of him. Then obviously, the ’unthinkable’ had to happen. That very night actually, he made Rebecca pregnant and took off as soon as one could say ’daddy’. It’s funny how you can fall completely in love with someone so quickly, without even knowing so much as the guy’s last name. That’s right, the full name of Samuel’s father was never revealed, and he would from the moment he left be referred to as either ’Daniel’ or whichever explicit that was closest to hand at the moment. The point is, nobody knew him and nobody ever cared to even ask about him. Rebecca decided to raise her newborn son by herself (that is, without the help of her more than overprotective parents) and moved from Texas to Hawaii, only to move back again ten years later. You’d think it stopped there? Well you’re wrong. After getting tired of Texas she packed her suitcases once again and took her son to Philadelphia, where they stayed at some old disgustingly rich friends of Rebecca’s. And then moved back to Texas again. This time around, Rebecca met Derrick Harding, who unfortunately was already married. This little mark in the book however didn’t stop them from beginning a relationship that would soon grow so strong that it first ended in Derrick divorcing his wife and later in a new marriage (with Rebecca obviously). For two years now, Samuel and his mother have lived together with the Harding family, consisting of Derrick and his teenage daughter Elizabeth. Is he thrilled with the situation? Not really, seeing as he’s pretty much used to being the only child. He adapted the new life pretty quickly though, and wouldn’t complain too much. To look on the bright side; he’s got a roof over his head and things could have been a lot worse.
Personality: Having lived a more or less nomadic life has made Samuel respectful of others, not to mention confident. Adventurous, reflective and creative are also words commonly used to describe him (ok, so that’s his grandparents using such flattering words, but what can you do right?) To his friends, his always been known as the impulsive guy, the one to jump on the train when it’s leaving regardless of where it’ll take him, sometimes without considering his options first. Much like his mother some to think of it, which might be one of the reasons why the two of them has always gotten along so well. Unlike his mother however, when it comes to interacting (what a fancy word) with other people, Samuel quite often finds himself stopping to think before opening his mouth rather than after. Not because he’s afraid of hurting them or saying something he’d might regret later, but simply because...actually, those would be the reasons. Is he a coward? No, he just enjoys staying out of trouble and other people’s business. If they want his opinion, they’ll ask. Some people may think of him as slightly selfish, but to Samuel it’s simply a question of appreciating the thing called ’privacy’. Now, how does this justify him being a so called player? Well, it doesn’t. He started it mainly to see if he could do it at all. Was he way too unattractive or dorky? Or both? Did he even stand a chance against the other psychos populating the local High School? Apparently he did, and what started out as an experiment quickly became more of a nasty habit. With that said though, he’s still highly considerate of other people’s feelings and thoughts, and would by all means possible avoid to hurt you. What a hypocrite. There is one exception though; Elizabeth. Samuel’s integrity has been seriously damaged by the arrival of his stepsister in the sense that he can no longer just be quiet and ignore the commotion (must be a sibling thing), so he ends up trying to mess with her head and being rather unpleasant in general to her. Again, what a hypocrite.
Extra Curricular Activities: Why spend more time in school than necessary? Exactly.
Little Black Book: There’s no way in hell he’d keep track on his ’conquests’. Come on, should he write the girl’s name down in a notebook along with her picture and a nice ’#7’ in the right hand corner? That’s just sick. But as much as he respects the majority of the girls his ’playing’ (allthough they are quite often in on it), he’s definitely up in two digit numbers by now.

Name: Henri Daguerre
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: "Your Fault" - The Plain White T's
History: Richard Daguerre grew up inside a bomb shelter for fifteen years. For real. It was during the 50's, when everybody assumed that the USSR was going to drop a nuke. The Daguerres built a bomb shelter in their backyard and during a scare went inside, and didn't emerge for fifteen years. Because of that Richard Daguerre has always been a little... awkward. You would be too if you spent fifteen years learning quantum physics without seeing the light of day. He was naive and nerdy, and emerged just in time to go to UT Austin. There he met a girl named Rhona, she was popular, pretty, she had moxie. Why Rhona was interested in Richard is inexplainable, a union like theirs doesn't happen everyday. Maybe she pitied him, maybe she somehow was actually attracted to him. She was his first girlfriend and his last. Within two months of dating they got married and within a year gave birth to a set of fraternal twins, Henri and Hope. Six months later, Rhona split. Richard moved into his parents' basement and raised his two kids. When the kids were six they moved into their own house, but Richard did not leave his nerdiness behind. He got a job a physics teacher at the kids' future high school. For Henri, his father's dorkiness rubbed off on him, and it rubbed hard. He approached the first day of school with duck-taped glasses and a shirt that actually had a pocket, you know, the type you put pens in. It was ghastly. Hope was much more blessed and liked by her peers, Henri was alienated, teased, harassed. They made fun of his hair, and they made fun of the fact that he was able to spell, they were ruthless and they never gave up, it got worse when they reached middle school and increasingly worse in high school when attacks against him moved from verbal to physical. Then something miraculous happened. Puberty. It's horrible for most, but it was generous to Henri and he emerged at the beginning of junior year like a butterfly. He was hot. Pretty people wanted to be his friends, it was amazing. He learned about the game, and the perfect plan for vengeance after all those awful years fell into his hands. The revenge of the nerd was essentially the nerd breaking the hearts of girls who used to reject him, and bedding more girls than the guys who used to give him wedgies.
Personality: After knowing Henri's history, Henri may as well be described in a single world - vindictive. He used to be described as this anti-social geek, and not in the good Adam Brody sort of way. Before he got the body that rebuilt his self-esteem, after Henri was down, he never got back up. Things are different now. He's back and although his looks and muscle width may have changed, his brains didn't. He's still as smart as ever, in fact, smarter. Now, he's putting his head to good use to get back at all the people who hurt him by being cruel, cold, and calculating. He's not going to be satisfied with just having sex with a girl and then breaking up with her and swaying her with a few words. Henri's determined and so persistent that he wants to know everything about his victim and find their weakness and then take advantage of it. And he will, if he could build a real hovercraft for the third grade science fair in a matter of two weeks, he's confident that he can do anything.
Extra Curricular Activities: National Honor Society, Band, BHTV Editor, and the drummer for the band made up of him and his sister, Distance Over Time.
Little Black Book: Since junior year, Henri's probably been with about fifteen girls, all of which were girls who had blown him off in freshman and sophomore year.
Target: Henri's little black book is essentially his sophomore yearbook. By looking inside, you will see highlighted names next to pictures of popular girls, pink for those already destroyed, and yellow for those he has yet to get revenge upon. He's done a good job of working his way up the social ladder of girls, and this year he is working on the women who pretty much weave Ball High School's social scene. Heather Faris Bismarck, Theodora Wright, and most importantly, Siobhan Boyd. All three have rejected him before, and they were the most humiliating rejections of his life. While Henri is doing all of this entirely as revenge, it would be strange if he didn't do something for fun too, if he wasn't attracted to somebody for real. Life isn't all about revenge, and Henri finds it really difficult to be negative when he's around Charlotte Cooper, his twin sister's best friend. He's always liked Charlotte, in the younger sister sort of way, but Henri wasn't the only one blessed by puberty. Ever since Charlotte's grown up, Henri's been seeing her in a different light.

Name: Michael *Darcy* Darcy
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: --
History: Beth Darcy was always unhappy, before she met her husband Roger and surely afterward. She grew up battling her abusive alcoholic mother and verbally abusive father. She was in an out of states of depression and rebellion, since she turned thirteen and found out that all teenagers are ultimately moody creatures. To sum up, she never was very stable. It was only, as fate would have it, in the three month span she got it in her head to go to college at the Houston Baptist University that she met Roger. She dropped out, and he graduated from business school. Michael was born exactly eight months after their wedding, but Roger swore he'd always married Beth because he loved her. However, that was a much easier statement to make after Beth was found in her '92 Toyota Celica with a bullet in her skull. It is sad, yes. Roger never quite recovered and he certaintly never went looking for a new wife. He took care of Michael as best he could, but his job with Grady Chemical caused him to move all over Texas, until a house in Galveston was finally bought five years ago. He still works for Grady Chemical, as a highly paid operations manager. Roger is strict and hard-nosed, and perhaps because Michael is his only child and son, expects nothing but the best. You can only assume how much of a relationship these two have. None of it is pretty, especially the constant fighting.
Personality: Darcy isn't an outcast. But, he definitely isn't one of the popular crowd. He doesn't drive a BMW or wear clothes from The Gap, and those are written in the popular crowd handbook. In fact, when something happens to one of the cheerleaders, like a broken speaker at a pep rally, he usually had something to do with it. He likes to annoy the shit out of people that piss him off, and cheerleaders often times do the job rather well. However, it is give and take, because everyone at GBHS knows his name. It could be because he is seemingly oblivious of his charm and magnetic sexual energy or just being the other half of one of the well-known duos at GBHS. It doesn't really matter. People find him fascinating. It definitely isn't because of his attitude. He won't hold back the fact that he hates someone, and cusses out atleast one person a day. He is sarcastic and crude and just about all things that are wrong with teenage society today. He doesn't care about other people or the world, but it is every teen's right to be selfish, or at least that is his mantra. He can be intelligent when he wants to be, but his failing grades are mostly to piss his father off. He probably enjoys the ensuing fight with his father when report cards are sent home or phone calls to teachers are made in a weird masochistic way. Darcy likes to have a good time, by drinking, smoking, and screwing anything with a decent rack. When he considers someone a friend, he is loyal and trusting. You are either on Darcy's good side, or he hates you. There is rarely an inbetween.
Extra Curricular Activities: BHTV production/cinematography.
Current Tally: Darcy is a heartbreaker. He loves getting girls to fall for him, and then cut their throats. Well, not literally, because people go to jail for that type of thing he is told. He likes seeing the tears streaming down their faces, though. He likes the bitchy stares he gets from most of the cheerleading team. He may hate cheerleaders, but they are still fucking hot. He likes hurting people, and the number never really matters now does it?
Target: For Darcy to have a target, that would imply that he actually sits around thinking about anyone other than himself, and to think that he doesn't is perhaps the funniest thing ever. He is a selfish little prick, and he doesn't have targets. He has a line of girls always ready to jump at the chance to make like bunnies, when he comes up behind them and breathes into their ear those words every girl dreams about ... "let's fuck." He does have certain requirements. He doesn't make up bullshit about things leading to something else; he is very clear about his intentions. This means he doesn't like clingy, airheads. He makes exceptions for the cheerleaders, on occasion. He doesn't just like pretty; he likes beautiful. And he goes "after" the girls the rest of the male population would die at the thought of screwing, because he is the one screwing them and likes being envied. As far as attraction goes, he would never allow himself to really go there. Sure, it is easy to be "attracted" to a big-breasted, blonde haired bimbo, yet, after the deed is done, all of that disappears. But this isn't to say that for Darcy real attraction doesn't exist, between him and certain girls. He would just never admit to wanting it.

Name: Brannon Davison
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: --
History: Why bother tracing the Davison family tree? No one stresses over where the money comes from? People care that when they are around Brannon Davison, they are hanging around with the one of the richest students at GBHS. That is where Brannon's roots lie. The fortune happens to come from his father's side, and now it is invested in big business, the stock market, and illegal corporations that people rarely give a fuck about. The story wouldn't be complete without a rich southern belle to put on Phillip Davison's arm. Enter Katherine Davison, who is both beautiful and lovely, at least that is what the articles read these days. The setting is Davison Estate. The family has been settled in Galveston back to the earlier days of the town, and no one has ever thought of moving anywhere else. The family home is considered one of the top ten most beautiful places in the county. Brannon was fortunate enough to be born the sole heir to the throne of all this money and luxury. Surely, the family is full of total head cases, right? Well, yes. Occasionally having everything you need comes with the price of boredom. Lies and cheating abound, and everyone at the country club knows this. It is just that no one talks about it. Yes, Phillip and Katherine cheat on each other with no remorse, but the family manages to have dinner together each week, like the good 'ole days. All and all though, Brannon's life is mostly pretty gift-wrapping on a hideously ugly and empty box.
Personality: There is something about Brannon people can never quite pin down. People always accept his bad boy role without much thought. But, it is more than a bad boy image; otherwise Brannon would be like every other teenage boy. It's the eyes that always endanger him of being given away. People want to think that behind the intensity and charm he gives off in waves is a master at work, that they are witnessing a genius. He has always grown up hearing that one irritating thing...one day he'd be the pride of the family. It wasn't just his father's fortune, but it was the promise he showed at such a young age. A boy wonder, his teachers said. Immediately, education came first, and why the story ultimately led to private schooling. Yet, the so-called genius is a fake. He despises the role handed to him, and leads his careless lifestyle just on the off chance that his destiny will give up on him. Nothing means much to him. Not his family, his friends, his girls, and probably most of all, his education. So, he was kicked out of private school after private school, like any good rebel should have been. This bad boy persona comes complete with the attitude. One that has him in that elite group that rules the social structure at Galveston Ball High School. Brannon is seductive in everything he does; charm, wit, the good looks, it all goes into a package that people want to have a piece of. Brannon can be that rich, selfish snob, because hey, who can stop him? He has the stench of money all over him, and doesn't pass the chance to flaunt it, especially to those "beneath" him. He likes to play along to the popular opinion. Then, maybe no one will notice. No one will see him hiding from who he should really be.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity Baseball, Student Council
Current Tally: Brannon has been with many girls, but he would only consider three to be on the list of true heartbreaks. He destroyed them. The others were just sex. It takes a good amount for Brannon to consider it worth it to go through all the trouble, especially over a girl.
Target: Brannon is what many like to refer to as a male ho. He will jump on almost anything that moves, if this anything is a girl, has large breasts, a pretty face, and doesn't mind a night with someone who will be gone from the bed before the dawn breaks. He is known for his ability to seduce just about anyone, and has his way with most of the girls at Galveston Ball High School. Just look at him, he is fucking beautiful, and unfortunately for everyone else, he is fully aware of it. He has girls that he wouldn't mind sleeping with like Elizabeth Harding, Adi Jolin, Bridget Cambell, and Cassidy Rhea. Hopefully, there time will come when the five of them are in a room together, and they will be accepting of the wonderous idea of him and the four of them all at the same time.

Name: Jakob [Jake] Epstein
Age: 18
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: I'm A Terrible Person - Rooney
History: "Don't be too sweet lest you be eaten up; don't be too bitter lest you be spewed out. That's the key to winning a woman's heart, Jakob. Just look at my Joel and Yesmina. They are perfect." Nana Epstein never failed to recite the Jewish proverb to Jakob since the day he was born. Much to Nana's pleasure, Joel and Yesmina Epstein had a boy on their second attempt. Nana Epstein was on a mission to populate all of America with Epsteins, and Jakob was just the beginning. Plus, Nana would need a home after Joel and Yesmina couldn't look after her, since she planned on outliving them. As the only boy the Epstein family, Jakob's sole responsibility was to "carry on the family legacy" (in Nana's words, of course.) It was up to Jakob to marry a nice, young, Jewish girl and make as many babies as possible. As a young boy, Jakob was slightly appalled at the idea, but as a hormonal teenager, he doesn''t too many objections. At least to the making babies part. Or particularly, the specific act that results in babies. Instead of thinking about the Torah and kosher, Jakob thinks about sex. All the time. He isn't exactly ready to marry anyone just yet, especially someone handpicked by Nana Epstein. He is only experimenting, right?
Personality: Jakob is one of three Epstein children, the other two, Adelaide and Keren, being girls. Before Adelaide was born, Jakob competed with Keren for attention, and their relationship hasn't changed much. She just insists on bossing him around, and Jakob simply can't stand it. But the two of them are rather stubborn, in the sense that they don't want to be like their parents. Jakob and Adelaide don't appear to have much in common. Naturally, Jakob feels slightly protective of her, which is ironic, since he attempts to protect her from something he represents. The Epstein children aren't particularly close, although that seems to contradict the whole Jewish family bond...thing. Jakob isn't exactly shamed of his faith; he just doesn't want to parade it around like Nana Epstein does. It's the little things that bother him. Like his name. Jakob. Everytime he hears it, it's like an ice pick being shoved into his ear. Not pleasant. He has always preferred going by Jake, and that's something Nana Epstein can never know. She could die if she heard that. She probably wouldn't be too pleased to see what her grandson is doing, especially since he's insisting that he's only following her advice. Jakob knows when to be sweet, and when to be bitter. He doesn't exactly view what he does as a game. He doesn't intend to hurt anyone. He just wants sex. That's what boys do. They want sex.
Little Black Book: He really doesn't think that it's a game. He hasn't actually kept score or anything. Alright. Eight. And a Half. Don't ask. It's a long story.
Crush: As the tradition in high school goes, Jakob sharply contrasts with the stereotype of the awkward Jewish guy with supposedly nothing better to talk about than kosher meals. He rarely trips on his words, spluttering incoherently until the girl just gives him an odd look and walks away. Of course, if a situation calls for a little cute awkwardness, Jakob wouldn't hesistate to meet that requirement if it means lots of heavy breathing and discarded clothes littering the floor later that evening, or simply, sex. Since Jakob's playing the game to get the most experience possible, he rarely invests too much time in getting a girl. Most of his conquests include girls he barely knows, but he's starting to realize that he's bedding girls of the same type. To expand his horizons, Jakob wants a bit of a challenge. He has set his sights on a few girls, notably Jennifer Noon. He has some idea how exhausting this little project is going to be, so his eyes do occasionally wander to other girls, not necessarily the easy ones, but the girls that he knows have a bit of a thing for him. They shockingly do exist.

Name: Ashton Hargrove
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
History: In a simplified version, the story goes as follows. Boy meets girl. Boy corrupts girl. Boy marries girl. Boy lives off wealth of girl's family. Girl gets pregnant. Girl gives birth to not one, but two children - twins. Boy and girl live happily ever after. With the exception of the last point, the story of the Hargrove's basically follows this outline, and while it is not extremely complex, there is still a need to elaborate. After all, things are not always what they seem. We begin with Claudis Parker, daughter of one of the most powerful oil tycoons in the nation. Raised in a predominantly wealthy Catholic community, Claudis was known for her sweet nature and willingness to help others. Frankly, she could have become a Nun at the age of eleven if she really wanted to. Since her father was always busy with his own business affairs, she spent most of her time with her mother, who, as a devout Christian herself, encouraged Claudis to choose 'God's path' throughout life. Practically brainwashed by her mother and the bible, she grew up in accordance to the phrase, "What Would Jesus Do?" To Claudis, the world was made up of two groups. 1) The Catholics 2) Everyone else. The possibility of the two categories overlapping just seemed... sinful! But then again, some things are inevitable. Here enters Alan Hargrove - the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. With gentle persuasion and unavoidable charm, he won the heart of Claudis Parker, despite his lack of Catholic beliefs. Against the family's wishes the two wed, taking with them a large portion of the Parker's money to get by. The years following that weren't exactly picturesque, with Alan struggling to find his true passion in life, and Claudis yearning to start a family. Ever since she was young she had her life planned out. Loving husband, one child, white picket fences and all that jazz. However, when she finally did get pregnant, certain adjustments had to be made due to a stomach that was larger than usual. Twins - not one, but two boys joined the Hargrove family - Ashton, who was three minutes older, and Christopher. As the boys grew up they were given anything they wanted, despite the obvious consequences it would have on them. A few years later Alan found his calling in life, creating a successful Internet dating service. As it stands, the Hargrove's are one of the wealthiest families in Texas, though no one is certain to what extent.
Personality: On a wide spectrum of personality he and his twin brother remain at opposite ends, which isn't surprising considering that most twins are never too alike. While growing up, those who couldn't figure out who was who by looks usually depended on the words coming out of their mouths to distinguish the boys from one another. Ashton was always the bratty child who had no respect for his elders, and took pleasure in teasing other kids down the street. While he definitely matured over the years, some things have remained the same. Those who know Ashton face difficulty describing him, considering his personality is in a constant state of flux. His moods are the least bit consistent, and the smallest thing can influence his behaviour. To an outsider, he is a cocky little bitch who doesn't give a damn about anything. And for the most part it's true. Coming from a wealthy background has undoubtedly affected his behaviour, where Ashton feels that he can get whatever he wants, whenever he wants it. It doesn't help that things often occur in this manner. Sarcastic and full of wit, he always has a comment about something, and isn't afraid to speak his mind when the opportunity arises. That whole 'think before you speak' phrase must have been a displaced thought that dissipated at an early age. You'd think that this behaviour would discredit his reputation, yet for some reason people still like him. Chances are that it has something to do with the side of Ashton that people rarely see. No, he's not some Saint on the inside whose secret ambition is to work at a retirement home. But he does have those rare qualities that make him almost tolerable. Charm, for one, has never let him down. He always knows what to say and how to say it, whether it's being said to the girl of the week, or just some passerby. Also, his upraising in such a prestigious environment has led Ashton to be very intelligent, yet he will never admit it. After all, smart guys don't always get the girls. And what is the number one purpose of going to high school? Getting an education? HA. More like getting some action. And this alone is what keeps him going.
Extra Curricular Activities: Ha. Ha. Funny. Really, what's the point?
Little Black Book: Two, four, six, eight? Unless every girl Ashton's been with comes forward and writes their name down on a piece of paper, he'll never be able to come up with an exact number. While he has been with a fair amount of girls, he's far too lazy to keep track. Most of the guys with a similar agenda take pride in knowing who they've screwed (literally and figuratively), but Ashton could really care less. The only details that matter are the 'where' and the 'when'. The 'who' is irrelevant.

His parents are paying through the nose because for some reason they don't want him to go to juvie.

Name: Aron Hirsch
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: --
History: Most couples are bought together due to a physical attraction, a stolen glance across a crowded room. There are couples who fall in love because their personalities are so complementary and one is forever making the other laugh. There are also couples who appear to have no attraction to each other at all and are simply together because it’s what’s considered best or for finical gain to one, or both parties. The relationship between Natan Hirsch and Sofia Weil was not based on any of these. The two of them claim that the foundation of their relationship is an intellectual compatibility. It seemed that a more permanent attraction must have been there because the two were quick to call what they had together a relationship. Sofia’s mother applauded because not only had her daughter managed to bag herself a nice Jewish man, but one with a Ph.D., which always are attractive to potential mother in laws. It does seem that she had forgotten that there were quite a few letters after her daughter’s name as well. And then Sofia bought shame to her family by getting pregnant and not immediately arranging a marriage. In fact even now, twenty-one years after their first meeting they’re not married to each other, or anyone else. They’re in a perfectly happy ‘relationship’ with the children that they had after wedlock, Aron and his siblings Jakob and Sara.
Personality: Aron could never be called a mindless jock. Upon first meeting him most people expect him to maybe write for the School Newspaper or play in a band. There’s a wry smile there and this intelligence that seems to suggest anything else but a boy who seems to spend most of his time doing some form of competitive sport. But then aren’t we often told that we should never judge a book by its cover? Certainly the school grades are there to support the image of an intelligent young man who’s simply talented in more than one area of life, but most people often take this to mean that in general Aron’s a nice boy. You’re supposed to be able to trust boys like him because of their mind. Intelligent baseball players are supposed to be the more trustworthy then the idiotic ones. But then these are the people that misread the wry smile. Intelligent is considered a virtue but at times it is something like that which will only be misused by people like Aron. Very aware that he’s considered quite the ‘catch’ he’s done his best to package himself as a good friend. As a nice guy, who might often to help you with your homework, but has enough morals to refuse to actually write it for you. There are very few people in life who are actually that perfect and what to be a good person simply because they can. Aron, with the superior brain power, is aware that gossip is always a player’s downfall. While there are some girls who don’t mind being thrown out, the ones that Aron often has his eye set on are the ones who are slightly above that. If various members of the student body were asked to list known players it would seem very unlikely that Aron’s name would come up. People are aware that he’s had a couple of girlfriends but not plays. Aron’s not the sort of boy who does something like that. And that is where most of them slip up, falling for the intelligent act. It’s that which gives Aron a thrill more than anything else does, knowing that he’s playing and that people don’t even realise it.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity Baseball, National Honor Society, Varsity Basketball
Little Black Book: Aron doesn’t have a book where he lists down his ‘scores’. And to be honest he’s never be all that sure of numbers because the circumstances always vary. Surely a night of meaningless sex doesn’t count as much as a cheerleader’s broken heart. But if you were frank about it and just demanded to know how many woman Aron has slept with in the past few years the total stands at somewhere around twenty-five. Very few of those actually counted for something in Aron’s eyes. If it was too easy then it really not all that fulfilling.
Target: Aron knows that there are plenty of girls he could 'target' without all that much work. Oddly enough that doesn't strike him as any fun at all, and so has made it his life goal to avoid girls whose ever been called a 'slut', or anyone who approaches him first. What's the point of playing if they do all the work? And for that reason after much though Aron's has picked difficult targets. The ones who won't just take of their underwear after being asked politely. What Aron's is interested in are girls like Jenny Noon, who appear to avoid human contact or someone like Janelle Sutton, who will probably bite if he gets too close. Yes, he is aware that he's starting with rather impossible tasks, but that doesn't mean that there the only sex he going to have. The 'easy girls'? He'll take those too, it's just that he's not goign to plan anything around them. Why bother? They'll do all the work.

Name: B. Jeremy Hughes
Age: Eighteen
Theme Song: "Promise" by Butch Walker
History: There were no surprises when Douglas and Jane Hughes first married. They had been in love since long before their high school graduation, and it was the next step in the life they planned to have together. It wasn't a surprise that neither of their family members attended the wedding, or that only a few mutual friends witnessed their vows. For Jane, who had been raised in a wealthy Houston neighborhood, only her best friend would come to the wedding. Everyone else, including her siblings and parents, disapproved of Douglas and of her marrying him. For Douglas, it was a few coworkers who only came because Jane had promised them all some free beers. Whether or not their union was approved of or not, the two couldn't have been more in love. She, the homecoming queen who had been accepted into prestigious universities up and down the East coast, and he, the high school dropout from one of the poorest neighborhoods in Houston; none of it mattered. Love didn't notice the labels society had placed on them, and neither had they. They were both eighteen when they married, and twenty when their first and only son was born. Doug worked a couple of jobs; one at a gas station, and another at a mechanic's shop. Jane planned to stay home and take care of their son, and the many more they planned on having, but they were never to have more children. Jane would barely come to know her own, sadly, as one night, when Jeremy was about three months old, they ran out of diapers. She left Jeremy in bed with his father, kissed them both good-bye, and was never seen again. There were no leads to where she might have gone, or what might have happened to her; it would seem, after an ongoing seven year investigation with the local police and the FBI, that she simply vanished. Though Jeremy never knew his mother as a person, he was reminded daily as he witnessed the downward spiral of his father. Douglas' pain manifested into a serious problem with alcohol, and he soon lost both of his jobs. There were days that looking at Jeremy, the small toddler, were nearly impossible due to the resemblance of his wife. Before Jeremy was to start kindergarten, a friend of Douglas' offered him a room down in Galveston where he was living. He could get him a job at the mechanic shop he was working at there, and help get Doug back on his feet to raise his son. Doug took the offer, and within a year, he had a trailer and a consistent paycheck. Things went relatively well for a few years; Jeremy was forced into understanding that Doug didn't know how to parent, and really wasn't willing to learn. Shelter and food were provided, and the occasional football game was watched together, as well as the NASCAR races. Independence was a trait Jeremy learned early in life, and in the few years before middle school, his father's drinking picked up again, as did his belligerence. Though Jeremy would sometimes take off for a few hours, he never could bring himself to leave his father. Bruises became easier to hide, and there would sometimes be days or even weeks when his father wouldn't touch the bottle, or his son. When Jeremy was eleven, one of his father's friends was selling an acoustic guitar at a garage sale. For twenty-five dollars, Jeremy purchased the guitar, and fell in love with music. Through various odd jobs, Jeremy enhanced his knowledge of music with lessons and more guitars. By thirteen, he found that writing songs was more than just something to do; it was something he was actually good at, and something that served him as an outlet. During his first two years of high school, Jeremy tried to form and was a part of three different bands. All of them failed to work out for various reasons, but his determination got him a summer in Los Angeles with a friend who was recently signed to a record label. The two of them spent long nights in the recording studio, writing songs, drinking, and other various activities of debauchery. There were days and phone calls from his father that made him never want to go back to Texas. With all the opportunities in LA, why would he ever want to leave? Eventually his friend fucked him over, as Los Angeles friends usually do, and Jeremy took the long bus ride back to Galveston. He of course had to endure the verbal abuse from his father; the what did you think would happen's, the you'll never amount to anything's, but it wasn't anything Jeremy couldn't roll off his back. His music is more important than ever, and he's back in Texas with new inspiration, and a new vision for the direction of his music and the collaborative effort behind it. It's clearly not the drunken abuser that keeps Jeremy staying in Galveston, or the highly regarded education (though he does get better grades than one might automatically assume), so what is it? It's his music, the band he formed just over a year ago, and the pathetic loser of a father who cries and passes out after every time he gets so drunk that he beats his own son.
Personality: To most, Jeremy is just another self-centered jerk who's too consumed with his music to see the "big picture" (whatever that is). And in some linear form of thinking, that's exactly what he is. He doesn't care about your problems because he's got enough of his own, and no, he doesn't feel like sharing. He doesn't feel sorry for himself, and he doesn't want you to either, but he's not going to sit around and pretend that life has been peachy. It hasn't; end of story. He doesn't want to talk about it, but if someone were to happen upon his notebook and read just one of the pages scrawled with lyrics and thoughts, they might realize that everything you need to know about him is in there.
Little Black Book: Jeremy has no little black book; he only has his notebook, and all the information remains inside it's covers. Other than that, he'd like to believe that he barely remembers each and every girl he's played, when in reality, every minor detail is painfully recalled.
Target: If he was the type to go around parading who his next target is, then you'd probably find her name right here. He's not, obviously, which is why you are pretty much left to wonder.

Name: Harlow Kincade
Age: Nineteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: ‘‘Jude Law And A Semester Abroad’’ by Brand New
History: Many Galveston Island residents believe Harlow Kincade to be the product of a broken home; a father who would much rather accentuate his inhibition and frustration with the crack of a leather belt, a mother drowning in an ocean of intoxicated oblivion, and perhaps a trailer home cornering the edge of the city which has most likely seen the better of its day. However, this untimely perception couldn’t be any farther from the truth than it already is. Being the eldest son of Harper and Margaret Kincade was never an easy vocation for Declan, who found it rather a burden than anything else. There were always certain Kincade regulations hanging over Declan’s head, and the more he grew into his years, the more he found them hard to handle. Kincade Agriculture, an agriculture and farming company which had been handed down to Harper from Declan’s grandfather Charles, had an inevitable future that laid in Declan’s inexperienced hands. It was when Harper suffered an unexpected heart attack and was placed on bedrest for eight months that Kincade Agriculture was thrust into Declan’s possession, the twenty-two year old dangling the success and prestige his father’s company had acquired in the past fifty-seven years around the state of Texas. Needless to say, Declan had not the slightest clue what to do about it, the company heading into a seemingly endless downward spiral soon after which would only be healed in Harper’s leadership come his return eight months later. Between paperwork, frustration with Harper’s employees, who were beyond astonished that this sophomoric nitwit could just parade on into the company in his finest Sunday clothes with his designer briefcase and be in control of the entire company within the span of an hour, and shipping orders lost in the course of delivery, Declan found himself so circumvented in his work that he had rarely the spare minute or two to notice Candy Easterly, Harper’s young intern. In fact, it was Candy who was doing most of the noticing, soon harboring an infatuation with her boss’ eldest son. Whenever Declan needed something, it was Candy who was always rushing to his side, said needed something right in hand. Coffee refills, a pencil with an eraser, even a fresh pair of socks or two. You name it, Candy had it. It took Declan a few weeks to notice that Candy wasn’t doing all that she was doing to simply kiss the boss’ ass, and she sure wasn’t reglossing those plush lips in front of him for no specific reason. Declan, the owner of an intimidating track record with the art of female, decided to be frank about Candy’s lustful actions and soon, scored himself a date. And another date after that, and then five more, and on that seventh date, Declan and Candy connected in a way that perhaps a pair of intoxicated teenagers would. And from that undoubtedly romantic connection came Harlow, who was named after Candy’s father. At the time, Declan believed the only way to raise his and Candy’s child in the proper manner was for him to wed his father’s intern, and so he did. He even popped the question a day after Candy found out she was pregnant, and after mucho contemplation from Candy’s family, they agreed with Declan’s idea. And so the Kincade’s, after many complications that threatened to tear the two lovebirds apart, raised Harlow the way that Harper raised Declan; in a hospitable household, with the responsibility of Kincade Agriculture in his future.
Personality: It seems to be a typical disposition haunting America’s omnipresent high school archetypes – if one chooses to sport the cap backwards, live on the edge of one’s seat, party until the break of dawn, and simply ignore all authority figures around town, one must either be a complete asshole or the common bad boy. For Harlow, it’s the latter – even though Harlow would more than likely kick one’s ass if he heard said one calling him ‘the bad boy.’ Harlow is Harlow, and his attitude is not a result of trying to impress anybody with a motorcycle. Narcissistic and audacious, Harlow lives on the edge of his seat and will try everything once, and then proceed to do it again. Although he is not some kind of rebel, Harlow is carefree and is on the top of the list to bend and break the rules for a few cheap thrills. All of this alludes to the fact that Harlow is not one to take many a thing seriously, and would rather joke about the skeleton’s bottom-half anatomy in Biology class than study the mitochondria. Not the type to sit around and let his head get bitten off without the slightest bit of retaliation, Harlow is known to be quite the vengeful one. When you cross him, Harlow places you on his hit list, and when your on Harlow’s hit list, rest assured that your life in as a normal high school student is over. Blunt and frank, Harlow doesn’t bother to top his words with sugar and doesn’t realize when his words seem to cut closer to the throat than originally intended. Many people can’t stand Harlow for this and his repugnant personality, but as with all other ‘bad boys’, there is just that special something about Harlow that seems to draw others in.
Extra Curricular Activities: Participating in extra curricular activities would mean that you would have to give a damn about school. Fortunately for Harlow, he doesn’t, and therefore, Harlow does not and will not ever participate in any extra curricular activities.
Little Black Book: Five. Ten. Twenty. Fifty. Harlow doesn’t keep count, but if he did, the number of girls he has manipulated into his bed would be around eighteen. Unlike many of his peers, Harlow doesn’t have an ulterior motive for his actions; sex is sex, Harlow is a boy, and Harlow is a boy who likes sex. And despite the forlorn consequences, countless bitch slaps, and annoying feminine screaming the morning after, the extent to which Harlow is willing to go to score some booty for the night is long and mighty. Whether it breaks his heart or not.

Name: Davin King
Age: 17
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" by Garbage
History: Davin Elijah King was born to one of the wealth real estate developers in the state of Texas. Martha and Joseph King had it all...except for the child they always wanted. They had tried for years and years. They were about to give up, but then became pregnant with Davin. Five years after that, a daughter followed they named Mitzi.
Growing up with money, Davin was giving everything he wanted. That in turn made him spoiled and he became a bit of a brat. But his parents gave their children everything they wanted. When they wanted to ship Davin off to private school to shape his attitude up, blackmail became his game at even a early age of 11. Blackmailing his father to let him stay in town in exchange in not letting Martha know about the affairs her husband was. His mother was a bit dense after all. So she wasn't exactly paying attention to the details of her husband's personal affairs.
Davin found blackmail and cruel games a form of entertainment. Entering his teenage years, he discovered girls could be another form of the same practices he had done for years on his family and others that got in his path. But in another way...the game of seduction and being a player. He still lives for the blackmail part of things, but he also enjoys getting a laugh from anything that ruins others lives.
Then again, fate has a sense of humor. You could call it karma. It was recently discovered he had cancer. But he isn't letting that hold him back for now. Nobody knows about it yet except for his family. It isn't anybody's business. Like everything else, he thinks he will get his way and be cured soon enough. Nothing can hold him down...nothing.
Personality: You could call him evil and that he maybe, but he doesn't consider it evil what he is doing. It is just what he is...a bored spoiled rich boy who likes to pay games. Confidence is one of his stronger points..he knows what he wants and goes for it. He is head strong...hard headed some would say. He can come off cold when it comes others feelings. Charming, intelligent, etc. etc. are just a few of the words that explain him best.
Extra Curricular Activities: Too many to list.
Little Black Book: It seems so tactless to list all his numbers he has had conquered. It is an art to get a girl in bed...haha, what the hell is he kidding...he knows he isn't Romeo, Cassanova, or Don Juan...he has his fair share of females. Maybe 15 or 20.

Name: Zachary (Zach) Lancaster
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: “Promise” – Eve 6
History: Claire Lancaster is an odd one, by nearly anyone’s standards. While the father(s) of her brood has never publicly stepped forward to lay claim on the craziest vixen Galveston has to offer, most do not believe Claire Lancaster‘s theory that her two sons are results of her affairs with her Martian lovers. Supposedly ET can be a true “personal space” invader; and Claire’s claims, along with her adamant protests that her sons turn green at night have made most of the public wary. Try as he might to shake of the stigma of being a claimed product of extraterrestrial loving, Zach is still constantly fending off questions about whether certain body parts glow in the dark, the testimonies of several girls helping to support that his body is all-human. Given that his mother is only considered sane when on medication, it’s surprising to some that both Zach and his older brother Karl epitomize normalcy. While many are eager to disperse it, Zach has never wanted pity and rarely answers any questions concerning his home-life.
Personality: Zach isn’t always a sinner, yet never would be called a saint. Stuck somewhere in between being a bastard headed straight to Hades and a simply misunderstood nice guy, Zachary Lancaster is not easily figured out. On the surface, he appears to be nothing more than another oversexed jock. He has a straight C average and can claim all of two talents: he can play basketball and he can play girls. That being said, it is believed that once Zach’s surface has been thoroughly scratched, he isn’t half-bad. After all, he does have some sort of charm and has been a shoulder for more than a few girls to cry on. Often times, Zach can be genuinely nice and he has a way of remembering the birthday of the one girl no one else notices, or saying something complimentary just when you are beginning to believe he truly is an asshole. Many girls have wondered whether he is merely hiding a sensitive nature behind a façade, but all those who seem anywhere near close enough to find out have simply gotten burned. They tell you to not play with fire, and Zach Lancaster certainly has scalded more than a few hearts.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity Basketball.
Little Black Book: While Zach is likely to answer the question of “how many” with merely a gleam in his eyes and a shrug of his oversized shoulders, many believe it to be somewhere in the double digits, edging around twenty seven or so. After all, who can forget what he did to Shandra or how much Lacey cried when he dumped her, or his date to Homecoming last year, or Tasha’s public tirade about his diabolical ways, add Whitney, Tiffany, Melanie and that other girl, and it becomes quite a list. While public opinion has Zach seeming like a good candidate for sexually transmitted diseases, the risk isn’t quite as high as most believe. How many girls has he hurt? Plenty. How many girls has he actually slept with? Two. How does that work out? Zach isn’t your typical man-whore. Leave it at that.

Taken By: Spinbeneathyou.
Name: Bryant MacArthur.
Age: Nineteen.
Grade: Senior.
Theme Song: "Player " By 112
History: Bryant Mc Arthur the eldest child of three born to Jason and Eve McArthur. They were both from a high class family and the marriage was arranged of course. So what makes them so different from an ordinary family? They both live separate lives and have different partners, but stay married so they can produce pure blue blood offspring. It’s rather healthy if I do say so myself. The marriage has lasted three years and Saturday is the only night they spend together, for the rest of the week they live their lives like strangers. They live next door on two huge estates and their three boys are all heirs to the multi million dollar cotton industry. Their sons, including Bryant are left free to do what they want, whenever they want with no questions asked. Both parents are rarely home and the house is usually a open house for parties. It’s actually the perfect life for three teenage brothers, no responsibilities, no pressure, no stress, alcohol and women what more do they want? It’s a win-win situation.
Personality: Bryant isn’t exactly your typical popular guy. He isn’t 6 foot 3 and bursting out with muscles in places that no one knew muscles could exist. Instead he is 6 foot tall and lanky. Skinner than most of the girlfriends /playmates, but doesn’t stop Bryant’s ego inflating. He’s rich and he knows when he has money he can get whatever he wants. He has a car for every day of the week and usually a girl to match. Once Bryant gets sick of something or someone it or they are usually thrown away. Some might call him superficial, egotistical and every single word that is usually associated with a popular male, but he doesn’t care because he knows they are all jealous. Him, his best friend Bryon and the rest of the trust fund babies clique are indestructible, when they have money they have power.
Extra Curricular Activities: TFBC (trust fund babies clique) and president of the student council[does someone already have this?], he wants more power I mean can you blame the guy?
Little Black Book: There was Mandy on Monday, Terri on Tuesday… but last week it was Tina. He doesn’t really remember how many girls he has slept with because half the time he is too drunk to remember, but he does remember it is a very large number, he usually tells people it’s around 100.

Taken By: Messed Up Girl
Name: Julian Marlow
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: -
History: Everybody in Texas knows that the Marlow name is rooted in money...lots of it. Appropriately, all Marlows grew up to be greedy bastards and while this might be the point in the story where I stop to tell you the exception...I can't, because there wasn't.
Like every other family member who bore the surname, Jeffrey Marlow became the typical trust fund kid, a kind of good for nothing parasitic presence on the family fortune that was fortunately enough the living standard of all the Marlows. By the age of 20, his parents had arranged for him to marry Kate Corsgrove as a business venture between both corporations. Jeffrey didn't mind, after all, he'd already gotten...acquainted with Kate in his parents' jacuzzi last summer when she'd stayed over at their beach house.
The two could have had every opportunity to get to know each other and make their union as enjoyable as possible but the lives of the rich and famous are complicated and they rarely saw each other, of course except for the obligatory nights together which soon resulted in the birth of Julian.
Julian, like his mother, rarely caught a glimpse of Jeffrey because he was either too busy cheating on his wife with the hired help or drinking the family fortune away with colleagues. For a man who sure dished the love around, he rarely gave any thought to his son or wife. Not that any of them really care anymore.
Personality: Though Jeffrey Marlow was a rare presence in his life, Julian managed to attain his father's philandering ways. However, Julian doesn't share his father's apathy about life. Instead of being a callous jerk, Julian has a sense of humour and sometimes even compassion that differentiates him from all the others. Admittedly, he’s arrogant. He’s unapologetic about his wealth because hey, it’s his money and since he’s got it, he might as well use it. Julian can be a regular ******* though but everything he does has no hidden intentions, he’s just out for a good time. That’s probably his only definable characteristic, he’s honest and if you’ve got a problem with it, he frankly doesn’t give a damn.
Extra Curricular Activities: He’s in the trust fund clique but the only extra curricular activity he does is play football, though he rarely shows up for practice or games. He just gets a kick outta wearing the uniform. Besides, the chicks dig it.
Little Black Book: Julian enjoys relationships without commitment and so, has probably screwed around with over thirty girls. He’s never had a real relationship that’s lasted for more than a few days and he’s not going to start now. Besides, it’s his uncompromising nature that often brings them back anyway.
Target: Julian doesn’t have a specific motive for his player-istic ways. He just wants to get laid and it’s this approach to relationships that often determine his targets. Julian’s only ever targeted easy girls before but now he’s getting bored fast and with the new year, why not try something new? By new, he means Madison Fowler or Charlotte Cooper who are the polar opposites of the girls he used to play with. Sure it might require some effort but he’s all up for it.

Name: Jaxon Morrell
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song:-
History: Ever since he was younger he had gotten spoiled rotton by his grandmother. Though his parents disapproved of it, probably because their other kids didn't get nearly enough gifts or attention from grandma. Though Jaxon was her little angel. His parents would intentionaly leave him out and give him less things than his other siblings. Well they had a little dislike toward Jaxon and his grandma. One night changed his perspective. His house caught on fire from electrical difficulties. He woke up with smoke all around him and fire blazing in his eyes. Then suddenly his grandma's figure came to him and got him up and pushed him out the window. (Which was only one story), then carefully climbed out herself, breaking her ankle on the way down. Once he got up he noticed his parents and his brothers talking to the police. His parents had gotten all the kids up and ran out the door, forgetting that Jaxon was still in there. His grandma had saved his life. From that day on he moved in with his grandma and has never talked to his family since that night. He is still trying to block the insanity from that. Who would do such a thing to their kids? Though the parents said that they completley forgot and didn't it un-intentionally. But he doesn't believe it, not one bit.
Personality: He's a very laid-back person. His grandma taught him not to put grudges on alot of people that dont deserve it. Though he's laid back, he's very much the definition of a jerk. He loves getting under people's skin and making them pissed off. And, theres no soft side in him. He's truely a jerk, no one could change him.
Extra Curricular Activities He's on the football team. Other than that, its shoplifting. He finds it a great thrill.
Little Black Book He's probably screwed with at least 13 girls. He likes the thrill of getting the hard-to-get ones then screwing them. Then leaving them to go find another one. The longest he's stayed with a girl would probably be..1 month. That was incredibly long for him. Why does he do this? For plain fun.
Target: He's a very well-rounded man. He has his girls almost everyweekend, coming in as red-heads, blondes, short ones, tall ones. Though he found a girl once that kept him entertained and on-task. He didn't even cheat on her, which was big. It was almost as big as saying I love you (which he just didn't have time to do). But that was soon devestated when Herni deguerre was caught cheating with his lovely girlfriend. It actually took a while to get over her, which was quite suprising but it didn't let him stop his bad habbits all together. Now he developed a strong hate for the name 'Herni'. But a couple of months later he got a great idea on the act of revenge. Herni had a adorable twin sister named Hope Deguerre, who was quite single. So he's going after her like a Slayer to a Vampire. Straight through the heart.

History: Pretty much the same as Preston's. Though he is proud to say he's a straight man and loves the women unlike his brother. Once he got his first taste of conquest, it made him feel like he was something important...something special and that was something he had longed for for a great deal of time being "lost" in Preston's shadow...at least in his mind. Preston was the one that made everyone so proud...Preston this and Preston that...screw him and screw everyone that thought he was their golden boy cause now he had something of his own to prove he was special to someone...or a bunch of someones even if it was just for the night.
Personality: On the surface Lincoln appears to be confident...or cocky, take your pick...and cool under fire. Inside it's a different story....though his self confidence is far higher now, he still feels unsure of himself but does play it off nicely that he's quite the opposite. And though he'd never admit it, his bitterness that is held towards his twin brother is due to the fact he wishes he could be more like Preston...unafraid, sure of himself and unmoving when seriously challenged and it frustrates him to want to be so much more like him knowing he never can.
Extra Curricular Activities: Drawing and reading...though he might tell you otherwise.
Little Black Book: He's lost track to be truthful, but whatever....it doesn't matter what her name is or any of that sort of s**t....it's all just for the night and that's that. Then it's out with the old, in with the new...next fine piece of @ss come on up and take a ride on Space Mountain.

Name: Jesse Noon
Age: 18
Grade: Senior
History: Ever seen that shitty show Las Vegas? It displays NBC’s pathetic attempt to add gambling glitz to its roster of shows. Twins Jesse and Jennifer Noon can attest to the existence of another face of Vegas, one that they were tragically exposed to at age eight. (Read Jennifer Noon's profile for more history.)
Personality: A kaleidoscope is seldom recognized as anything more than a play thing. Once the novelty value wears off, little is left to keep anyone entertained. Viewing Jesse Noon through the lens of stereotypes is much like looking at something through a kaleidoscope. It fragments the image into deformed puzzle pieces that were drowned in milk by a bored toddler. Not only that, but the image is blurred to a distorted obscurity until there is simply nothing left. With his arm nonchalantly slung around Ronald McDonald’s shoulders, Jesse Noon stared intently at his job application. He had already convinced his sister to fill out the basics for an apple pie, but his refusal to spend twenty more cents on another one failed to finish the deed. Jesse was left with the infamous “short response” questions. He found that unlike most applications he had filled out before, this one contained such horribly amusing questions (i.e. “Of the following characters, whom do you identify with the most: Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Hamburglar or Birdie?”). But for such ridiculous questions, Jesse contrived his answers accordingly. What he was hindered by was not one like that, but instead a commonplace question in job applications: “Who are you?” He had hoped physical contact with the big man himself (not Jesus, mind you) would’ve eased the process. The majority of the people who had filled this out before probably rushed through it without any premeditation whatsoever. Jesse was not part of the majority though, nor had he ever been. His status as both the renowned pitcher of the Galveston Toros and the editor of the literary magazine left people flabbergasted. The two, from a stereotypical perspective, are contradictory. He considered noting himself on the application as such- a walking contradiction- but something held him back from such a distinct identification. Jesse turned in his application with the question barely answered. He was sure that the manager was expecting a mess of adjectives describing an enthused worker who planned on joining the blue collar army, but Jesse, in the midst of what seemed to be a flustering existential break down, couldn’t do it. “I am me” was what he ended up writing. “I am me. That’s all I can honestly write at this point without it being a lie. You wouldn’t want me to start off with a lie, would you?”
Extra Curricular Activities: Literary Magazine, Varsity Baseball
Little Black Book: Math is not Jesse’s forte. This is the excuse he sputters out for not keeping track, but is all it is to him. The reasoning which only he knows is one that roots back to his childhood, as all faults in life seemingly do. Witnessing her mother’s death laid out the fuse, but figuring out his father’s elaborate mistakes led to the death set the fuse. Out of anger for his father, Jesse concluded that men only harm women. This led to his Messiah complex of sorts: he feels obligated to save women from the troubles that men are capable of inducing. By sleeping with them. It’s a shame he never talked in those therapy sessions, eh?

Name: Carter Paxton
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
History: Mara was the only daughter of Isabel and Kieran Stevens, an only child and inheritor to a vast fortune coming from different generations of Stevens. Since the beginning Mara was the pride of her parents and probably adored by everyone around her. You'll see, there was no trace of selfishness in Mara. She was a girl with a generous heart who used to put the interests of others before hers. Mara was eighteen years old when she met twenty five years old Luther Paxton who was at the time, as trite as it may sound, one of the most wanted bachelors in town. Quite a catch Mara's friends told her. Whatever events lead to the union of the couple were indeed of some significance to them but remain in obscurity nowadays, since they have not been discussed by anyone for a very long time. The fact of the matter was, they were young, they were pretty and they got married. Which lead to the conception of several pretty children. And so a baby boy was born, and he was named Carter. And so Carter grew up in wealthiness. He was six years old when the blue-eyed woman with the warm smile died. And then, that tall man, who was often seen in the company of the pretty woman, practically disappeared from Carter's life as he didn't see much of him for quite a while.
Life goes on, however, and that's what happened in the Paxtons too. Carter was sent to boarding school until he turned thirteen. He was having a hell of a time in there when tall man Luther decided it was time for his son to come back home. There was an important reason behind that. Luther had gotten married.
Carter's new stepmom, Laureen, entered the picture. How... uh... unexpected for Carter. He noticed the physical resemblance right away. Stepmommy dearest looked a lot like his death mother. But if didn't take him long to realize that all resemblance ended there. There was nothing similar beyond the looks.
Anyhow, Carter spend two years in a private school then was sent to public school. But we won't bore you with the details behind the decision.
Personality: There are many traits in Carter's personality. He was born in wealthiness and he has learned all the advantages of his position. Carter was never close to his siblings though, so most of the time Carter trusts only Carter. Which doesn't mean he doesn't know how to have a hell of a time. As we said, Carter knows how to take advantage of what he has. If that makes him a snob, what a simple misconception that would be. Most of the people either like him or not. Carter acts different in different circumstances. Yes, sometimes he can be blunt and brash but other times he is subtle and the all American gentleman you would like to take home and introduce to your parents because he is so charming. Or maybe he isn't, but hey, he is cute.
Carter doesn't walk around deliberately trying to break people's hearts. Girls can't say he hasn't been a shoulder to cry on too. Yet, some things happen just because. Most of the time Carter is more interested in getting to 'know' the new person catching his interest so he doesn't stop to ponder the outcome. He's misunderstood in some ways and he fails to realize that he could be doing more good than harm if he only learn to behave better. But how could he know this? Carter is completely unapologetic. He'll go off in the summer and crash Daddy's yacht into a buoy, and his dad will fly him away in a helicopter so he won't have to deal with any of the consequences. That's just the way his life is.

Name: Adrian Reese
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: “Closer” by the Nine Inch Nails
History: Adrian Reese probably had a rather shitty childhood. Probably one that involved drinking. Neglective parents too. Or maybe he’s the son of a cutthroat entrepreneur, overwhelmed by expectations to take over in his father’s place. Hell, he could very well be the son of a crack whore, driven bitter by his mother’s negligence to her well being and his own, left to clean up every one of her messes. The theories are endless, but the reality is hardly worth the wasted thought. The truth is that Adrian’s life is rather boring and uneventful. His parents are so happily married after nineteen years it’s nauseating, and his older sister is convinced that Adrian still gives a shit as to whether she crimps her hair or keeps it straight for her dates. Occasionally his brother will chip a tooth on his junior rugby team (that’d be jr. high rugby team) and his cat will pee in one of his shoes, but that hardly constitutes a box of tissues to cry his eyes over, now does it? No, the most melodrama Adrian has ever had the unfortunate chance of having to deal with is the death threats and the slit tires he occasionally finds outside his door in the morning from a lover scorned. Adrian’s been breaking hearts since the age of eleven when he first kissed Susie Bakersfield on the jungle gym in the park behind his house, only to be caught two hours later with her cousin Mirabel in the back seat of their aunt’s station wagon. Adrian had his first sexual encounter two years later, and had already attained a small reputation for himself by the time high school rolled around. Of course, he doesn’t bother with telling most people he’s not nearly as interesting as they’d like to think. Adrian has a lot of fun bullshitting people and indulging in their ignorant assumptions. It helps to pass the time, and it sure as hell beats doing homework.
Personality: Adrian’s probably not the guy you’d want to take home to meet mom and dad, but don’t worry, he’d never go out of his way to mislead you into thinking otherwise. A smug asshole but an honest asshole, Adrian’s bluntness would probably be admirable if it wasn’t usually coupled with something crude and uncouth. He doesn’t believe in pretences. What you see with him is pretty much what you get: a sardonic, obscenity filled jackass who cares little for anything other than himself. For some reason though, that doesn’t stop people from liking him. Especially those of the female variety. And while Adrian’s not about to open your door for you or pull out your chair, he’s still not above telling you what you want to hear if there’s any likelihood that you’ll take your clothes off for him. Adrian may be honest, but he’s far from being a saint, and when he’s standing in front of a topless girl, he’ll grunt along to whatever she wants to hear if it’ll get the rest of her clothes off. Because he’s selfish and he’s male, both of which are horrible when in combination, and pretty much makes him one of the most self-indulging pricks you’d have the unfortunate chance of coming across. But hey, in Adrian’s defense, it’s not like he plays the smooth talking philandering Romeo. Adrian won’t pretend to like you any more than he does. He’s too apathetic to be manipulative and not smart enough to think of original pick-up lines. He pretty much just relies on being pretty. It doesn’t hurt when the other party is drunk too. And yeah, Adrian’s also not above taking advantage of a poor defenseless drunk girl either. One could argue he likes it even better when they’re drunk. Probably because they’re less likely to talk your head off.
Extra Curricular Activities: On the days that Adrian bothers to show up, he’s a member of the ice hockey team. Naturally, he’s very acquainted with the bench the few times that he does.
Little Black Book: It’s a lot. And that’s probably the most accurate number Adrian could ever give anyone, and that’s to say he’d even bother telling you in the first place even if you asked. Because really, who bothers to keep count? If he had to pull a number out of his ass though, he’d probably say 28. But only because he really likes that number.
Target: Adrian’s not the kind of person to pencil in the names of the girls he intends to add to his collective knot ridden belt, only because he’s unaware if such a thing even exists, and would probably suggest lynching the person who decided such a thing was worth creating. Adrian doesn’t set out to go after anyone. He’s too lazy. But there’s no denying girls like Lanie Rivers and Heather Bismarck are hot, and there’s also no dismissing that both are grade-A bitches (though of different degrees) too. There’s also no ignoring Jocelyn Landrie, although it’s mostly due to the purple hair that’s impossible to miss in the crowd. Or Bridget Campell, who just seems very easy. And Adrian’s not at all above a good quickie in the backseat of a car if there’s not too much effort required in coercing the party in question. Adrian’s a fairly candid person when it comes to sex though. He’s not too terribly desperate because, lets face it, Adrian doesn’t have to try very hard to get it. So he usually just waits for the opportune moment. And the best opportune moments always occur at two-o-clock in the morning when half the girls left are too drunk to know what’s going on, or too depressed to give a fuck who takes them home or how they get there in the end.

Name: Benett Rowsgrove
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Stuck - Limp Bizkit
History: Michael Rowsgrove had everything on a gold platter handed to him. He was on the top of the market typhoon and got everything he ever needed in his life. Millioniare playboy? Of course. Money symbol? Most definetly. He had any girl he ever wanted, and in weeks another would come into his arms. They were all twenty-five year old models though. He didn't mind, even if the world saw him as a loathing selfish company owner. It really wasn't until he met Jessica Britch when he realized what love was. She was one of those ditz that only wanted the jewelery he gave her, but he saw it as something else. Everytime he was around her, he felt something different, as if he was a new person. He was truely in love with her; even if she didn't feel the same. Of course she accepted the huge diamond engagement ring he gave her when he asked her to marry him. Even more so, the world wasn't suprise for they're twenty year age difference. Every morning, before he went to work, she would get the money she needed to go shopping, and every night she would give him all the attention he needed for more money the next morning. She was spoiled, he was in love. That went on for three years, until Jessica was pregnant with Michael's son. When Benett Rowsgrove was born, the world changed for Michael. He saw everything differently, and realized, that this is why he lived...for this baby he had in his arms. He loved Benett, and he showed it by spoils of toys and toys and toys. Jessica could care less what the child did half of the day. She would always tend him to a sitter, and go out to her regular shopping. When Benett was eight years old, Jessica was caught red-handed having an affair. Michael was heartbroken, yet so in love with her, that he didn't want to let her go. She refused, and divorced him anyways. She then asked for a huge amount of child support, even if she wasn't the gardian of her son. Benett went off to live with his father, where he still showed his love by the spoils he gave him. Benett grew cold over the years. No mother, no rules, and anything he wanted. He was a young playboy in the making like his father. When Benett was fifteen, his father re-married another young candy. Of course, the world was not suprised that he married someone with a twenty-two age difference. He was in love, again. Michael's new wife brought something else with her, a daughter Benett's age. Austen was a shock to Benett during his puberty years. A beautiful girl his age, living with him. Even if he knew they were 'half-sibilings', he still wants her.
Personality: Puberty and himself being spoiled made Benett who he is now. He's cocky, yet most young men are. He's selfish, yet gives when needed to. His father taught him moral values, but he still has his teenage life to think about, and sometimes it gets in the way of that. His outgoing personality also makes him the flirtatious guys that loves to get girls twenty-four/seven. He also has that mind of 'if I want it, I better have it'. He shows that type of self to Austen, when he really wants her to be his arm candy. And, since she shows the same love to him, he tries to act hypocritical in front of his dad. He's actually the master planner in his father's 'divorce'. Hey, he'll do anything to be with Austen. That's just the way a millioniare's son acts.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity baseball
Little Black Book: Long term relationships is not a word in Benett's dictionary. He thinks that once you get them in bed with you, it's over and done with. Unlike his father, he doesn't find the sappy love with the girls in his high school. How many girls has he been with? Probably a lot, just not all in his high school. Really, the only girl he wants to be with would probably Austen. But, as they say, to get from point A to point C, you have to pass by point B.
Target: Sure Benett has his eyes set on Austen Somerville, and wants her more than anyone in the school, he still has his eyes set on other girls. When he's not at home flirting with Austen, or in the halls with her, he's usually trying to score with girls like Demona D'Arcangelo, who's father was just as rich as his is, and Melanie De'grahm. The doesn't mean Benett only looks at the girls that are just as feisty as him. Sure, he likes girl that show a little cleavage sometimes and have as much money as he does, but he also likes to toy with the ones that don't. During class, he tends to stare, and hell, flirt with, Adriana Jolin half of the time.

Name: Evan Sinclair
Age: Nineteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Plays to his own beat.
History: There was never one woman that could satisfy Vincent Sinclair, that was until he met Heather Louw. From that moment on his life was going to change forever. They met when Vincent was hanging out at his usual haunt, the place where he was always guarenteed to pick up a woman for the night when Heather walked through the door. One look and that was all that it took for him to fall in love with her and leave his playboy days behind him. Heather had never met anyone before like Vincent and despite all of her family and friends trying to talk her out of it, she married him after only four months of dating. She knew that she was never going to be able to find another man in the world who made her feel this way. After three years of blissful marriage she finally gave birth to their first son, Evan Vincent Sinclair and then in the following years she gave birth to another son (Christian) and a daughter (Jessica) and their family was complete. They weren't the richest family around but, they were happy and that was all that they could ask for. Until one night when there was that dreaded knock on the door that everyone dreaded. Instead of if being the police informing them that someone they loved had been killed, it was a woman telling them that she needed their help. Her only son was dying and Vincent was the only one who could help her. His past had finally caught up to him. The woman had been one of his many one night stands and it had resulted in her falling pregnant and now her son needed the help of his father. He was dying and the only way that he was going to survive was for a bone marrow donor to be found. Knowing that there was going to be no way that he could turn his back on the son that he never knew Vincent agreed to help her. Heather unable to cope with the knowledge that her husband had fathered a child to another woman, with the possibility that there could be more out there left him without a word, leaving her three chuildren behind. Since then life has never been the same at the Sinclair place. Vincent's heart wss broken at his wife leaving him and he sunk into a depression. Nothing could cheer him up and pull him out of it. The responsilbity of keeping the family together fell on Evan and he has had to become the father figure for his younger brother and sister. Something that he has started rebeling against.
Personality: Evan is very much like his father in that he plays to no rules when it comes to his social life. He has always had women and girls throwing themselves at him and he has never been the type to say 'no' to anyone. As a result hee has become bery arrogant where the female species are concerned. He knows that he will never be turned down and the concept of the 'chase' is a novelty to him. Evan is the sort of guy that plays and works hard. He always makes sure that his younger brother and sister are taken care of. He can be responsible at times. He is very competitive and since he learned about his half-brother he has made sure that he has ahieved higher than him in both school work and on the sporting field.

Name: Mateo Soto
Age: 17

Theme Song: "Shake Your Bon Bon" by Ricky Martin
History: The same history as his sister, Isabelle, but with his own stuff added to it like the fact that when his sister got molested he tried to be there for her and she basically pushed him away. In so way, that hurt him...but he knew why she was acting that way. Fine with him, if she wanted to be alone...fine with him. He could do his own thing.
So that is what he did...he grew up with a love of sports. Nothing tragic really happened to him as kid except for what happened to his sister. And oh yeah, when he was ripped out of his life in Dallas to appease his moody sister. He had friends and was popular. Football season was starting and he was looking forward to the games, but no. His sister's problems came first. He so didn't want to move, but with even his protect they had to.
He had a whole life back in Dallas and they had to up and move. Fine, maybe it was time for a change. Sure, he kept the same personality he had. He became even worse with his jerkness at times. When he could date, he didn't just have one girlfriend he saw, he had three. And it got worse when he actually started to have sex.
So to say that he is a player is a understatement. He dated who wanted and screwed with the girls he could...using the whole charming, goof ball act to get chicks. The act always works for him, so why change it.
Personality: I am not feeling that original as far as his personality goes...so I'm using the Pacey Witter personality for this character *lol*
"He always have a joke to spare, and his jovial sense of humor and laid back attitude make him extraordinarily fun to be around. He play the class clown because that way, people will laugh with him instead of laughing at him, which is something his more sensitive than he let on about. And beneath that self-confident exterior is a fiercely insecure child who is almost paralyzed by self-doubt in spite of a high intelligence and unique worldview. People gravitate toward him for his charm and his playful spirit. Of course, the expression 'it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt' might have been written for him. He has a tendency to focus all his energy on the here and now… but having a good time isn't going to help him any in the future."

Name: Gael De La Torre
Age: 18
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Jaleo by Ricky Martin
History: Born to Rogelio and Gradalupe De La Torre when they were 35 years of age, Gael was what they had waited for so many years to be blessed with. Rogelio was in the Air Force and they did manage to stay for most of his life so that was the place that he called home for the most part. When his father decided to retire from the military, Gael was 15 and the summer before he started high school the family moved to Galveston Island and has been there ever since. It was cool with him....though it did suck that he had to leave all his buddies behind. It didn't take too long for him to make more friends though and of course he made the discovery that the chicas were pretty damn fine there in Texas. That definitely took his mind off of Tucson with a quickness and ever since then he's been playing the field, so to speak.
Personality: Gael is a pretty nice guy most of the time. He'll talk with anyone that swings a conversation his way though unless you're of the opposite sex, he usually won't bother making the effort to just talk to someone out of the blue he doesn't know. Friends have his total loyalty for the most part as long as they aren't trying to get his @ss in trouble or don't screw him over in some form or fashion.
Extra Curricular Activities: Gael is a fairly athletic guy but isn't much into the school sports though he does like to run the courts from time to time and shoot some hoops.
Little Black Book: He's not really going after women for the sake of playing a game or trying to get more chicks in bed then the next guy, sex is good and if the girl is willing to give it up for a few sweet words...fine with him. If they're that easy then they shouldn't cry the next day if he doesn't call or nothing....not like he was going to slap on a ball and chain over a night of rolling around in bed, right?

Name: Simon Valleau
Age: 19
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Girl Inform Me -The Shins
History: The history of the Valleau family is fairly inconsequential, and more than a little lengthy, but somehow each of the older members of the family seems to find a willing enough ear to share it with. The real story of the Valleau family started somewhere in the south of France, but for the purposes of story-telling the real story began when Virginia Finnabogason and Jacques Valleau met in this same area in the south of France. The Finnabogason family had found themselves vacationing during the winter months in France, and the Valleau family was hosting a rather important and long-winded gala that no one enjoys going to but are staples in the elitist society they encompass. The Finnabogason family was invited, Virginia was obliged to go. She didn't mind because it meant a new outfit from the South of France and a distraction from the company of her family. Jacques was obliged to be at the dinner because it was his family hosting, but he neither cared nor complained. The high society life was perfect for the two when they met eachother, and their brief fling didn't bother anyone either. Two high profile families merged, leaving Virginia and Jacques with no choice but to marry eachother. Both were fairly attractive and didn't mind money marriages. Within the year the two had housed a wedding, with a 3 week honeymoon in Tuscany. Although their marriage had already been consumated, Virginia realized(quite conveniently) after their honeymoon that she was pregnant wit the soon to be first child of the family, Madison Valleau. Two wonderful years later Simon came around. The live's of the Valleau family went on much in the same way it always had. Social events, functions, and dinners were among the highest priorities of these people, and it wasn't until Simon was 5 that his family moved to Galveston Island, Texas. Simon knew the language, and he knew the customs, so the change in scenery was far from tragic for him. Until the past few years he hasn't had any inclination to go back to his birth country, either. The only reason he might want to now were the women he's heard about. He's heard that there are some spectacular beauties floating around the country. It was more a venture into the skirts of the locals than the culture, or the sentimental value.
Personality: Simon shares many of the attributes of the 'All American Boy' that the population of Galveston Island, Texas seem to treasure so much. Having lost his foreign tainting far too long ago for it to present a problem in his life, Simon knows what the population wants from him and has learned quickly to “give the world what it wants”. This high society facade his puts on sets him out to be well-mannered, articulate, thoughtful, complacent, and willing to take on the challenges the world might be able to throw at him. In many respects he just might keep some of those qualities through to the rest of his life, but one would also have to remember that Simon is a simplistic, self-serving jerk. Of course, Simon keeps his little quips to himself and lets the rest of the world think that he's just as empathetic and worldly as they might want to. Hell, if you want to think that he's just the opposite he might not care either. The conquests of a well known player might go on to explain just why he's so misguided. Why he never returns calls. Why he's never held a steady relationship, and why most girls find it fitting to keep themselves nipping at his heels. There could be some deep psychological stress, trauma, or deep-seeded secrets making him prove himself time and time again. They could be there. But then again, he could also, conceivably, be a very immasculate woman. It could happen. The fact is there are less layers to Simon than you'd think, and the ones that he chooses not to show or acknowledge for himself you aren't likely to to hear about.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity Football.
Little Black Book: There are countless skirts that Simon has chased. He hasn't bothered counting them. Mostly because the skirts he's chased have been little more than an assertion of his masculinity.
Target: It isn't terribly complicated to figure out the reason's why Simon single's out particular people to chase after, so to speak. If look's aren't a good enough reason for most people they certainly are for Simon, and making sure that the object of his attention isn't an impossibility has always been a factor in Simon's mind before he 'set out for the kill', so to speak. However, the unnattainability of a person has always been able to tip the scales in Simon's min.d A good challenge reaps a good reward, and nothing has made Simon happier than watching the scales tip in his favor. So if Simon were to tell you Isabelle Soto and Andromeda Forbes were the perfect targets, no one would be surprised. Because, let's face it, they're hot and feisty. And hot. Did he mention hot?

Name: Philip Webster
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Crossfade - Cold
History: Philip Webster never really had a mother to call his own. His father, Jack Webster and his mother Mia Gardone met in high school, and were instantly attracted to each other, or so what his father tells him. One thing led to another, love led to sex, and the consequence was much more than to really bare. Mia was pregnant with Philip, and he most definetly was Jack's child. Mia was devestated, and didn't want to deal with a child, so she left Jack with the baby boy. Jack was still young, and while Mia was out having fun and not giving a care, Jack stayed at home supporting his baby. That's had to be the biggest consequence anyone his age had to face, taking care of a child when he could've been out partying and meeting girls. Of course, Jack went and tried to finish college, but by the time Philip got older, he had to spend more time with him. Philip on the other hand was one of those trouble children growing up. He always got in trouble at school, but Jack always blamed the teachers. He was also the feisty type with the girls in his class also. Ignoring his dad's words, Philip was a pimp at his middle school. All the lollipop girls wanted to be his girlfriend, and he just played them all. When he got to high school, he entered in the one his dad was teaching at, and he was instantly famous there. During his sophomore and freshman years, he tried to balance three girls at once, and enjoyed his social life to the fullest. It wasn't until Junior year when he met Presley Casper. She was in his Physics class, and since he needed a tutor, she decided to help him. He instantly was attracted to her, asked her out and tried to see how he could show her off to his friends. Suprisingly, they went out for a week, and Philip was tempted by his friends to sleep with her. So, he did, losing his virginity, and hers as well. After that, he was a God to his friends, and they made him try to see other girls as well. He still felt something hugely for Presley since that night, but he still wanted to be liked by his friends, so he ignored her, telling her he was busy and not home half of the time. Now he's back to his old self, juggling three girls at once; this time, trying to see if they could sleep with him as well.
Personality: Not having a mother, Philip seemed different than most other boys. He tries to see attention to whoever he could, since he had no one but his father to even notice him. He shows off, even if that means getting in trouble with the principal. He really doesn't care, because he's spoiled too much by his father for his to get in trouble with him. He's very cocky when it comes to his friend, but if he really, really, really loves something, or someone, he's the sweetest guy you'll find. You can't really say he's a player at heart, he just tries to be one.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varisty Football, Varsity Baseball, Track, Varsity Basketball
Little Black Book: He's a tease to a lot of girls he's dated. How many though? Well, between all the juggling with at least two girls at a time, he lost track. The only real feelings he's had for someone would have to be Presley. Besides, even if he's a player, she's the one that he lost his virginity to.

Age: 17
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Amor Prohibido by Selena
History: Roman was born to Carlos and veronica Alvarez rather unexpectedly and early in their lives...when his mother was in her senior year of high school and his father a very recent high school graduate. Things got a little complicated for them due to the fact that they had married so young and just had the burdens that they had tossed on them all at once it seemed and as things would have it, they separated a couple years into the marraige so Roman really doesn't remember them being married. Though he has always known both of his parents very well....living almost exclusively with his father, Carlos in GI. He harbors no bitter feelings for either of his parents, why should he when they still see one another and are working on far better terms then some other divorced parents are? They're happy and he's happy because both of them have always been a part of his life. Early on in his life, Carlos passed on a love for baseball to Roman...always playing catch, practicing hitting the ball....and Roman took to it as well and to this very day has a huge love of the game, having played all the way from tee ball through little league, junior high and right up to the present in high school. With this being his final year, he's hoping that he can catch the eye of some scout or another or at least be good enough to get a scholarship for playing baseball for some college of his choice. Yes, he does want to continue his education...at the moment he's still not exactly sure what he wants to do in his life, but there's still an entire year and the summer to really really think on it.

Age: Seventeen
Grade: Senior
History: Twenty five years ago Kurt Bennett and Amber Stevenson met at the local library. She worked there and he was a customer. There was an instant attraction between them since they seem to share the same interests. However, both of them were involved with other people. As a matter of fact, Kurt got married just six months later. Five more years and a divorce would have to come and go before Kurt and Amber met again in a friends wedding. This time they knew it as soon as they saw each other. The chemistry was there, Amber had broken up with her old boyfriend and this time, Kurt asked for her phone number. Several dates and only three months later they tied the knot. Kennedy and Kennia came to the world like all babies do, with a lot of trauma and a spank on their rear. The twins cried in unison, making their entrance into this world with loud cries, surrounded by the big faces of giants in white clothes at Texas local hospital. And so they grew up being healthy little girls. Very independent little girls who laughed and cried and played and fought like all sisters do. Except sometimes, they wondered why the hell they had a walking reflection of them living under the same roof. But beyond that, they were normal little girls raised in a normal environment.
So, how come we fast forward a couple of years and we have the picture of the Bennetts in the cemetery, crying over the death of one of the twins. Kennia isn't around anymore. The circumstances of her death aren't discussed out of the house and remain very obscure.
We fast-forward a few more years and Kennedy isn't in the house either. Only, she isn't under ground like her sister, even though sometimes she feels she is. She isn't in high school either. She is somewhere away from home. And there are people in white clothes in there too. Except, they don't look like giants anymore. To Kennedy they are a bit like jailers telling her what to do. Or what not to do. She can't leave the place. She must take her medication. She must meet this man sitting behind a desk and answer all the questions that he asks.
Fast forwarding two more years, Kennedy is back home. She is in her senior year. She is having that normal teen life that all teens live in high school. Or, is she?
Personality: Have you ever heard of those people walking down the school yet remaining oblivious to the masses? The ones most don't waste time to see because there are, of course, more important subjects of interest around? If you have an idea of what I mean, that girl would be Kennedy. Misfit, outsider, whatever you want to call her. The fact of the matter is, she doesn't fit in school, she has never fit and doesn't think she ever will. It would be no shock to find out that she doesn't have hundreds of friends, although, some people may still recall that short period of her past. Yes, there have always been rumors about Kennedy. Some whispers here and there, words like "wacko", "pyro", and "suicidal." But if there is any truth in all those rumors nobody knows for sure since the whispers are always heard behind her back. Besides, it's not like you can believe everything you hear. Some rumors are too ridiculous to be true. For instance, those about Kennedy cursing people and keeping voodoo dolls under her bed. Just because she isn’t the most “people” person around it doesn’t mean she isn’t a regular person. That she can’t sleep at night, self destructive thoughts swimming in her head and some past scars on her wrists to prove the extent of those thoughts. But hey, just because she might not sleep as often as others it won't make her less similar to them, right?
Extra Curricular Activities: Chanting old spells and cursing people. Not really. Most of the time everything looks too obscure for her to bother. No extra curricular activities.
Editorial: The players of what? If there are any players around, Kennedy probably won’t be included. You don't see her walking into school to meet anxious people running towards her in a desperate need to establish contact. Thus, she doesn't have an opinion. Is that a shock?

Age: Seventeen

History: If you live in Texas you must have heard the name Bismarck. Just because they are closely related to money and everybody pays attention when money is involved. If they deny it, they are lying. Thus, as the Bismarck’s are a synonym of money, they could pay to be included in the dictionary. Anyhow, there is Nicholas Bismarck. You know, powerful, insanely wealthy man. He got married many years ago. Which brings us to the point of this little introduction. The Faris. Once upon a time, there was Julia and there was Gregory Faris. Boy met girl, they began to go out, they got married and blah, blah, blah. The main fact here is, they had a daughter. Heather. Tiny blonde girl grew up in a wealthy environment but didn't have any siblings. But let's talk about the night of the accident. It's Heather's sixteen birthday. Her parents are driving home. There is a drunk driver involved. Parents dies. Heather is an orphan now. Except, Julia had an older step brother. Nicholas. Yes. To make the long story short, Heather is a Bismarck. So, where does she have to move now? Yes, you must have guessed it. Heather moved to Nicholas Bismarck’s house a year ago. Of course, Nicholas is Heather's legal guardian while she is underage. To make it simple, (you can guess again) he takes care of Heather's inheritance too. But only while she is underage of course. Such a blessing. What would Heather do without good uncle Nicholas taking care of her interests? And without her aunt? Not too mention the golden son, I mean, sun, Augustus, and the youngest one too.
Of course, it's only normal for a girl to want her birthday to come soon. With or without other issues involved. As we said, money talks. And to Heather, money is still a matter of months and days.
Personality: Heather is a Bismarck. Well, a Faris Bismarck to be more accurate but who cares? She is an only child. And whatever the daughter of Gregory Faris and Julia Bismarck wanted, she managed to get, whether her parents were aware of it or not. "No" was never an answer to be accepted. She learned this when she was still a child. Her parents were strong, prideful people who knew how to get what they wanted, so Heather shouldn't be expected to be anything different. If you have the means it's only sane to use them to your advantage. That's what she thinks. As for any personal matters, if there are any, Heather does a good hell of a job hiding them. Don't try to see under the surface though. To Heather there is Heather and then Heather. So, yes, basically, the world does revolve around Heather. Love or hate her. She doesn't give a damn. Just don't get in her way unless you have an urgent need to be squashed like a bug.

Name: Bryce Cobb
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: “Good to Know If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die” by Brand New
History: The Cobbs aren’t a family driven by scandal or tragedy, therefore they inspire little interest in the bored, prying eyes of the Galveston Island residents. It’s not an excuse to digress, it’s a fact, and Bryce is well aware of it. If anyone ever bothered to ask however, Bryce would give you as short and sweet an answer he could manage without putting you to sleep. His parents met their sophomore year of college and married two years after graduation. Bryce came three years later and his brother followed ten months after that. The Cobbs may be boring, but they’re all rather pretty, and Bryce was made well aware of that early on. In elementary school, all the little kids wanted to sit with Bryce at his lunch table; the little bastard even got picked first for all the sports teams. Jr. High left him always with a date to the dance and eight grade was the monumental year he lost his virginity. No one was particularly surprised when Bryce quickly scaled the social ladder once high school hit and he used his good looks and whit to his advantage. Bryce’s philandering ways peaked before and during his junior year. He was at the top of his game with everyone else’s knights and pawns in the palm of his hand. Lindy Rosenberg came out of nowhere, but her intervention changed everything for Bryce. When someone like Bryce decides to settle down, it doesn’t go unnoticed. The six month relationship between Lindy and Bryce was on display for everyone to criticize and scrutinize. Bryce was happiest during those six months, and when he finally fell, he didn’t just fall hard; Bryce fell right through the floor. It was the week before prom at one of the last parties of the year. Lindy went to grab them both beers then disappeared for an hour. Bryce found her in the master bedroom with a friend. Needless to say, he didn’t find them chatting or exchanging hair streaking tips. After a quick break up, he learned theirs had been an ongoing affair for three weeks. Bryce isn’t sure what happened after that point, as he hasn’t seen either since. Overnight, Bryce went from one of the most popular kids in school to yesterday’s old news. He quickly learned how few real friends he had and anytime he hears the name “Lydia” he scoffs bitterly and rolls his eyes. The bitch broke his heart and while some sympathize little and say Bryce had it coming, it still sucks. Whether people believe it or not, Bryce has changed and no longer affiliates himself with anyone who lets their selfish disregard for others rule their actions.
Personality: There’s always been an annoying snarky little voice in the back of Bryce’s head that would stir up whenever someone said or did something stupid, but Bryce could never bring himself to say it out loud. Nowadays he doesn’t bother to censor himself and the butt of his sardonic chides are often received by the people he used to be great “friends” with. It’s not as if Bryce makes it a habit to run his mouth off to anyone who will listen. His generally sarcastic disposition is reserved for the few people left he trusts. Bryce has a short attention span when it comes to idiocy and mindless stupidity. It’s not that Bryce has no sense of humor, he just doesn’t see how pulling a fire alarm in the middle of lunch or setting off the sprinklers in the gym is funny. Monty Python? That’s funny. Chris Tucker on a good day? Sometimes funny. Lame practical jokes and crude musings about the cheerleaders? It stopped being funny about ten jokes ago. Bryce would never consider himself a cynic in spite of his sometimes pessimistic disposition, just a realist. Humanity is prone to stupidity. Better to recognize it now than to continue on ignorantly as the biggest assholes in the world shit all over you.
Extra Curricular Activities: Bryce used to be involved in student counsel, varsity baseball, and debate, but he doesn’t intend to sign up for anything this year.
Editorial/Little Black Book: Bryce knew of very few people who counted the number of conquests they had (at least openly, anyway) because the idea of a conquest is too hard to define. Still, Bryce knew he was up in the forties, two-thirds of which were mere casual flings at parties. He’s long since even thought about adding any new notches to his retired belt and has no doubt his former “friends” will get what they have coming to them in tenfold. It’s only a matter of time. If a scorned lover doesn’t off them, an STD will do the job and much, much slower too.
Crush: Before Bryce met Lindy, Janae Pollock was exactly the kind of girl he found himself gravitating towards; aloof yet sexy. He didn’t need to get her to fall for him or even like him, he just needed to distract her long enough to get the skirt down from around her waste and the top thrown somewhere across the other side of the room. Trouble is, that’s exactly the kind of girl he fell for, and consequently, the kind of girl that made him all the more bitter. Needless to say, he’ll be avoiding the Janae Pollock’s from hence forth. This lends to bode whether Bryce is willing to put himself out there again anytime soon? You won’t find an answer from his mouth, but you won’t find him completely put off by it either. There’s always been something about Blaire Inscoe however, even before he found himself trapped in a world of fast love and sharp deceit. And of course, how can Bryce forget Kennedy Bennett? Where once before he would have probably ignored her (damn social hierachy standards), now it's hard not to notice when she skates by in the hallways, her existance seemingly ominous to everybody else.

Taken By: *Sarahrooie*
Name: Jude Cochran
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: --
History: Jude rarely talks about family. He has very little to people to converse about such topic with, but also the Cochrans are not the intellectuals or the monsters that they might be expected to be with a child like Jude. Daniel Cochran met Suzanne Hewitt through mutual friend. He helpful suggested to Daniel that he had an ex-girlfriend that he thought would be perfect for Daniel. Neither Daniel or Suzanne were all that certain if they would enjoy meeting this potential partner through such an odd link, yet it was a conversation starter. A conversation that both of them must have enjoyed. Four years after that first meeting they were proposed to be married and moving in together. Suzanne’s job managed to pay for a nice sized house in Galveston Island, in her home state. To finish their happy story their first child was conceived on their honeymoon. Jude Thomas Cochran was born almost exactly nine months after his parents got married. He was named after his mother favourite book, Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy. Her reading material is probably the most controversial fact about Suzanne Hewitt, as Jude the Obscure isn’t really the happiest of all novels. Suzanne herself, and her husband, are both sensible middle class people. They always loved their son and his younger sister, Anais (after Anais Nin, again not exactly a hugely suitable author) as much as they possibly could. No one divorced, no one starved, no one discussed Plato. It was all very normal, very unlike Jude wanted it to be.
Personality: Jude has long been the poster boy for existentialist angst. He’s the sort of boy that you’d imagine to often find nursing a chipped coffee cup in some back street café that smells remarkable like a certain illegal drug. But this is Galveston Island not New York City and so Jude is more likely to found doing his best to avoid all that much eye contact and chewing on his bottom lip as he attempts to find the meaning of the universe, okay, possibly that last bit was a slight exaggeration. It doesn’t take a genius to guess that Jude has never been the most sociable boy. Only it appears that he’s failed to blend into the background as much as he would have liked. People tend to ignore the people who don’t give them anything to notice. The people with a small circle of friends, who get straight Bs and possibly involve themselves in school life as little as possible. Those of us who decide to stalk down corridors staring at our feet and smoke on the school steps during our History lesson are often the sort of people that we notice. Jude shrugs this off. According to him he was never attempting to avoid all human contact and fall into the background. In fact it does appear if anything he like the man of mystery act that he’s been doing his best to paint. Jude likes to be an enigma, and goes out of his way to keep the façade up. While there are people who end up being social outcasts through no act of their own, simply bad luck, if you watch closely enough it appear that the existentialist is lying to himself slightly. Jude isn’t acting like he does because of some great universal importance, more because he can and he likes the attention that is gained from that. As stated before boys like Jude get recognized. Boys without the angst and the philosophical musing don’t. It’s almost ironic, that the boy who seems to be the most against the idea of falsity and high school hierarchy is playing the game like the rest of them. But then there are probably very few who managed to remove themselves from that completely, whatever they claim.
Extra Curricular Activities: None
Editorial: Jude never gives all that much thought to ‘players’. They’re really just people, he’s recognizes most of them by sight and obviously does his best to sneer whenever he comes into contact with one. In reality they really do intrigue him more then he’d ever let anyone know. Part of him wants to know how they can been as callous to do what they do and there’s another part, the part he does his best to ignore, that almost looks up to them. Or at least envies them.
Crush: Jude is very aware that there are certain girls that really are easier to handle than others. Unfortunately for Jude it does appear that these girls are not the girls that he finds easier to fall in love with. Jude likes those girls that others would do there best to avoid. But then it does seem quite silly to expect boys like Jude to go for a girl like Hope Daguerre when there are just people who are more interesting than that. And also far more likely to turn him down. But maybe that's his safety net. It seems very unlikely that he'll ever act on these feelings of lust that he can do nothing about. And if he never does anything about it he'll never have his heart stamped all over. He can still sit in corners and stare. And if anyone cares to follow his gaze they will be quick to note that Jude has two objects of affection, both of which more sensible boys might do there best to avoid. Bay Wellington and Reagan Ellsworth, both of which probably are completely aware of his existance. But then that's high school for you.PB: Conor Oberst

Taken By: Excalibur
Name: Riley Colburn
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Senior
History: If you ask Riley the story of her life she will probably won't tell you much since she doesn't think there is much to say. It's not like her family's name isn't out there for people to know and for others to scrutinize. That's what happens when your father is a public figure. And Ralph Colburn is just that. A very well-known, wealthy politician who happens to be a member of Texas House of Representatives and will probably be a congressman in any foreseeable future unless he succumbs to the idea of moving to Washington and continue his political aspirations in there. An idea that has been swimming in his head for quite a while.
As for any other blood relationships, there isn't much to say either. Riley's mother divorced Ralph many years ago. Apparently, she was a bad woman, with lack of heart and whorish ways. At least, that's what Riley's family and friends of the family have been telling her since she was a child. Her mother didn't stop to think twice when she decided to leave her daughter and husband in order to continue her scandalous lifestyle with the companion of the week. Yet, Riley still keeps a couple of photographs of her mother, which she used to observe frequently when she was little but every time she asked her father any questions about her mother her father changed the topic of conversation or gave her a blank look. Thus, she stopped looking at the photographs and kept them in one of the last drawers of her bureau. It wasn't as if she didn't remember her. She was five when she left. She remembers looking out the window that day. Her mom look as pretty as always and a car was waiting for her. She also remembers seeing a man in that car. One of the frequent "companions" that others mention so often? She used to wonder. Now she doesn't.
These days, Riley prefers to keep her mind busy with other means of entertainment. Her father re-married six years ago and her stepmother is too busy taking care of her five years old. Not like it makes much of a difference. Riley doesn't get along with her stepmother or with her father for that matter. The fights are constant. Her parents don't understand why she is such a troublemaker. She is the daughter of a public figure for God's sake. She should know how to behave.
Personality: At first glance, Riley is just this fun-loving girl who likes to party and live her life to the fullest. Detention is not a unknown place since she has been in there too many times to keep track of it. Home and school? They are not places to stay inside for too long. No way. There are always better places to be and rules to break. She is impulsive, she is reckless, she lives her life like there is no tomorrow. At least that's how she behaves when you meet her. People can draw false conclusions about her though. Like how this girl must think only about the mating of the birds in the summer. But she is not as frivolous as you could think. She is open minded, and often likes to take part of an intelligent discussion. It's just that most of the time she won't find anyone to have these sort of discussions with. I mean, more people are wasted in parties. Anyhow, she has fun so she should be happy, right? Well, that's how it looks. Except, once the party is over, there is no one to take a second glance at her. Only silence, and empty spaces.
Extra Curricular Activities: In order to be part of activities she would have to spend time at school first. Don't you think.
Editorial: Little morons. Probably not as "blessed" down there as they would like people to think. But hey, whatever people do with their lives is their own business.

Name: Claire Crossing
Age: 16
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: "Supergirl" By Krystal Harris
History: Read Sawyer's profile for her family's history for most of the story.
Claire Christina Crossing was born the third child out of five. The oldest and only daughter of the family, she was expected to do more so than the boys. On top of learning to cook and clean, she was expected to make good grades in school. So, she became an overachiever and trying to prove herself.
All though school, she had made various acheivements....the most note-worthy being able to skip a grade in the sixth grade to the seventh.
Currently, she is in high school and trying to do everything at once.
Personality: She is an overachiever. She does at time come off as cocky, but only if they get in her face. Some would say she is a b*tch. She isn't a girlie girl that is for sure. She will kick you @ss in a heart beat if she feels the need to put a smack down on you. Too many things to do and not enough time in the day type of gal. She is a million school clubs and activies. She also has a part time working on the weekends.
She can come off cranky at times. She can be a partier as much as the next person, but sometimes life isn't all about partying. She has responsiblities. Deep down inside, if she spoke her views...she would get her @ss kicked. Her family's views and the fact of being in the KKK wouldn't win her brownie points. She for sure is a little bit on the racist side, but she hides it well.
Extra Curricular Activities: Jazz band, student council, newspaper, SADD...the list goes on and on
Editorial: Oy and vey comes to her mind when she thinks about the players. Sure she will nice and talk to them. Hell she will date them, but she knows how the players are. She isn't going to be some cute little giggly girl who will go down on her knees and do god knows what at their wish and command.
Crush: Rona O'Callister...they have been neighbors since kids and she has always had a little crush on him.

Name: Charlotte Cooper
Age: 17
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot - Brand New
History: The story of the Coopers hardly merits telling, lacking much excitement or drama. That isn't to say life at the Cooper house is a blissful utopia. Frankly, there just isn't much going on at the Cooper house. Mark and Jennifer Cooper had always spent most of their time working. Working for a college education, working for a top job at some prestigious law firms. They managed to squeeze in a child a few years after they got married, and Jennifer only stayed home long enough to nurse the baby until it was old enough to stay home with some old woman reeking of cats. Charlotte was a very sheltered little girl. She couldn't run out and play with the neighbor kids, partly because there weren't many, but Miss Gray (said nanny) preferred to keep her indoors, a comfortable distance away from dirt and mud. Charlotte spent most of her time in her room, gazing out the window at the vacant house next door. Her whole life changed when she was six. The Daguerres moved in during the summer, and she watched them with great interest, noticing that a girl about her age was perfectly across from her. One day, they both saw each other from the window. That's where Charlotte Cooper and Hope Daguerre's friendship began, and according to Charlotte, where her life actually began. Charlotte refused to stay indoors and frequented the Daguerre house. It was hard to ignore them anyway, because of the loud explosions caused by Henri and Richard Daguerre's physics experiments. Charlotte pretty much calls the Daguerres family, which makes her attraction to Henri a little...incestuous. Except that it's not just an attraction. It's a full blown obsession.
Personality: Although her parents would've preferred to have a pristine, obedient teenager in their house, Charlotte hardly fits the description of an angel. It's not like her parents have noticed that much, anyway. The pink wall paper in her room was eventually defaced by several posters of various rock groups, and the frilly white dresses were thrown out in favor of torn jeans and ripped T-shirts. The dollhouse was discarded to be replaced by a guitar The change was inevitable, really, but Charlotte goes to the extreme in wiping out all evidence of the life, or lack thereof, she had before meeting her first and best friend. And well, Henri. It's no secret that she's completely in love with him, except to him, of course. She doesn't exactly trip over herself when she's around him. She saw him before puberty, for God's sake. She's eerily comfortable around him. That's the whole point. Besides being infatuated, Charlotte is known for being mercilessly sarcastic, and most people don’t find it worth the effort to get past her sharp, ruthless exterior. Charlotte herself wouldn’t admit it was even worth the effort. She’s content with her reputation as a bitch.
Extra Curricular Activities: Singing, playing guitar, but not with the school. So technically, not really extra curricular.
Editorial: Honestly, she doesn’t really care all that much. She’ll spare a few sarcastic remarks on the subject, but she doesn’t think they’re worth her time.
Crush: Besides the obvious, there’s…no one? Henri Daguerre is…perfect to her, but she’s found herself getting a little anxious over his recent behavior. The conquests, the bitterness, the girls crying in the bathroom. It’s not like Charlotte’s saving herself for Henri; that time has passed, and she would never say who she happened to spend that time with. She just wants…to be noticed. But she's getting tired of waiting. She's a restless, sexually repressed girl. Any takers?

Name: Sawyer Crossing
Age: Nineteen
Theme Song: 'I'm a Slave 4 U' by Britney Spears
History: Michael Crossing and Tina Andrews met when they were in their junior year of high school and insted of it being love at first sight it was hate. Michael would do whatever he could to make Tina's life a misery. He would sit behind her in class and pull her hair, throw things at her and often get her into trouble when she would turn around and tell him to stop. The whole fued that they going lasted until their Senior Year when they suddenly realised how much they had in common with one another. Romance began for them on the night of the Prom and they have never looked back. They married very soon after high school and it wasn't long before they had their first child, Sawyer Michael Crossing. Within five years they had had four more children; Mark, Claire, Hurley and Charlie. The Crossing family have a dark secret though. They are not the typical family that you would like to live next door to. They are elitists. They believe that only people of anglo origin should be allowed to hold positions of power and believe that people with dark coloured skin should be second class citizens and should be treated as such. It is in this environment that Sawyer and his brothers and sister have been raised. While they appeare to be friendly on the outside, loving t everyone and always the kind neighbour, what people don't know are that they are members of the KKK. In fact, previous generations of their families have been members as well. Michael's grandfather was one of the very first members of the KKK. Sawyer has always been told that one day he will be expected to join the group. He, however, has a secret that his family doesn't know and that is that he doesn't believe that dark people should be hated and feared because of the colour of their skin and he has no intentions ever of joining the KKK. He doesn't understand why people are scared of people who look different and is hoping that his parents will one day be able to see the same thing. His brothers and sister and divided on the whole subject with half believing that the teachings of the KKK are right with the other half beliving that everyone should be treated in a nice way.
Personality Sawyer is one of the good guys. There is never anything bad that can be said about him. He is always willing to help someone if he is asked to and often goes out of his way to help his friends. Did someone say the word enemy? There is not one person at school that would consider Sawyer to be their enemy? He could have his pick of girls to date but, he has neve been in a serious relationship before. He is waiting for the one woman to knock him off his feet. He is very passionate about subjects that interest him and he is always willing to debate current social issues with anyone that is willing. He is a friendly guy and he has a large goup of friends that he hangs around with.
Editorial: Sawyer has heard all of the rumours about the players and has even heard some of the stories first hand. He is not going to judge them though because while he may not be a playe himself he still considers them to be friends and he is not going to diss them behind their backs.
Crush: Sawyer knows that his parents expect him to only date anglo girls. His parents would probably have a heart attack if he ever brought a date home that had dark skin but, Sawyer is always willing to go against the rulesd of his family. Shannon Landers is definatly somone that would be off-limits but, he has found himself growing really attracted to her and it is not just because of her obvious good looks. There is a depth to her that he finds lacking in other girls at the school and she is someone special. Someone who he could really see himself falling for in a bad way. He knows that there can never really be anything really serious between the two of them because of his parents view and the secret that they have but, there is nothing stopping him from looking and thinking about the possibilities.

Name: Hope Daguerre.
Age: Eighteen.
Grade: Senior.
Theme Song: “Listen to your heart” (Lyrics not obtainable, yet.) By Casey Donovan.
History: Refer to Henri.
Personality: Hope has always been compared to anything sweet or nice. Living life in a household of men hasn’t made Hope any less of a girl. She spent her childhood playing dress ups and pretending she was a princess trapped in a basement waiting to be saved by a prince. She lived her life without a mother, feeling something missing as her brother and father shared the bond of science and she knew her personality came from her mother when her father tucked her in at night and told her stories of how her mother was. Vibrant and fun, just wanting to explore the world and be free spirited. After hearing her stories she would come down the top bunk, slip under the sheet with her brother (don’t think dirty. Ew.) and ask him if he thought their mother loved them and he would kiss her forehead and ensure his sister that if their mother would come back she couldn’t help but fall in love with her. Henri and Hope grew close and even though she was more popular than him at high school she would always ditch her friends to spend lunch with him. Her brother is the journal she doesn’t have to write in and he knows everything about her even her crushes, fears and she knows his. This bond is considered to be weird by many of their peers, but both of them a can blame their close bond to one another to their father who raised them both as best he could and their adoring grandfathers that never left them wanting anything more.
Hope just wants the best for everyone and sees the best in everyone and some people find that naïve, but she can’t change her ways because she truly believes in second chances and she believes everyone can change from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan (personality wise). Some people find her kindness irritating, and she can understand where they are coming from seeing that life isn’t always daisies and butterflies, but wouldn’t it be great if everyone just thought it was?
Extra Curricular Activities: National Honour Society, Band, Yearbook, Helps janitor Johnny by putting picking up rubbish and placing it in the bin, varsity softball and the lead singer/guitarist/bass player for the band made up of her and her brother, Distance Over Time.
Editorial: She knows her brother is one. He comes into her room after a rendezvous and vents out about everything that happened. She can’t help but keep her lips pressed together about the subject, as a hopeless romantic and a openly virgin high schooler she can’t understand how he can do it without feelings but can understand why he does it. Henri has always had a hard time at school with girls. The insisted on hurting him even with his beautiful heart and now he is hurting them back, but Hope believes that his pain comes from years before that. She believes that her brother is doing this to get back at his mother for leaving his father who had to fend for himself and raise them. She thinks that he needs to come to that realisation before he can be helped. She loves him and she wants to stop.
For all the other players, she likes to believe that they have good reasons for doing what they do as well and hopefully someone will be able to save them as well.
Crush: Hope is part of the fifty percent of eighteen year old females that are hopeless romantics and have tissues, popcorn and the whole shebang next to them while watching a movie based on a Nicholas Spark’s novel. She finds herself clutching her books against her chest and day dreaming about boys like Jaxon Morrell and Hayden Scott sweeping off her feet, but while doing so she is usually smashing into a few lockers like a klutz. Those two boys have her intrigued, but like every romance novel there must be a twist, during the summer Hope was helping the parents of Anthony Cotrina re-paint their house and they stating that their son was much to shy to ask her out (not true) and have done the asking for him. So say the least, Hope is giddy and already ranting and raving about it to Herni.

Name: Alessandra De'grahm
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Faint - Linkin Park
History: Living the life of a twin was actually pretty hard of Alessandra when growing up. She hated how people would always complain, always wanting a 'twin this' or a 'twin that', when really the truth was, all they did was rain on your parade. Sure Alessandra had fine parents as a child. In fact, she was one of the lucky ones to have her parents like that around her block. It wasn't until she was about six when she realized how 'un-special' she really was in her parents eyes. Being the younger sister by four minutes made Alessandra the 'other child'. Her older twin Melanie had everything placed to her needs. When both of them cried, who was the one that got the attention? Melanie. When it came to presents, who was the one that got the pony? Melanie. Her mother still cared for Alessandra, just didn't bother with her social status as much as she did with Melanie. In fact, while the age of thirteen, their mother approved Melanie of having a boyfriend while Alessandra tried to prove herself to her mother with her grades. That's all Alessandra cared about, trying to prove herself. She tried hard to look as pretty as her sister, look as slim as her sister, have as much boyfriends as her sister, and maintain a 4.0 GPA for her mother to accept. Her father and her weren't really close, but when he left them for good, she felt heartbroken, and thought it was all her fault. While her mother and sister fought in the background, she stood back and watched. She comforts her sister more than anyone in the world, and even after all these years of seeing who could score more goods, they have the best relationship in the world.
Personality: Being the one that really was left out in the family made Alessandra very different from her twin. In fact, by their different ways, you could almost doubt that they really are twins. Melanie is really the outgoing one while Alessandra was left to wander around. She doesn't find happiness easily, making everything difficult for her. When it comes to going out, she doesn't at all. She's not an outgoing person, and doesn't mind it either. She's sort of that shadow behind her sister's image, and the guys gaga over her sister too much to even notice she's her twin. One optimistic thing about Alessandra has to be her book smarts. She knows her information, and keeps her high grades for a reason.
Extra Curricular Activities: President of the NHS, Yearbook Club, President of the Math Society, and Model UN.
Editorial: Well, her sister being one, she doesn't mind it at all. She actually wants to be one, but she's too afraid to leave the shadow behind her twin sister to even think about scoring second base with a guy.

Name: Shaun Deacon
Age: Nineteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song:Pray For Salvation--All Out War
History: Douglas Deacon is a man that can fool just about anyone on the planet into thinking that he is nothing short of a kind, gentle loving man. Of course it is hard not to believe since he is a surgon and seems to have done things others tend to consider impossible. Shaun's mother walked out on them nine years ago. The day she said goodbye seems to be what haunts him everyday of his life. She walked down the stairs into the living room, holding two large suitcases in her hands. Shaun walked over to her, tears streaming down his face as all he could manage to choke out was a simple..why?. She dropped her suitcases and pulled him into a hug, it became clear that she too was crying as Shaun felt a tear drip onto his neck. She kissed him on he cheek and made him promise her that he would never turn out like his father. Shaun didn't respond as she kissed him one final time on the cheek, and turned around and walked out of his life forever. He never understood her request. What did she mean by do not turn out like him? His father was a specatuclar man. He did nothing wrong. Well..not nothing. He did drink a lot. And when he drank he would beat on Shaun and his mother. But Shaun always believed it was his own fault, because clearly he must have done something wrong in order to deserve such harsh beatings everyday of his life. Only thing that made sense. Of course as time went on, Shaun realized that he was doing nothing wrong. His father was just an abusive bastard who only took pride in causing his only child pain. Of course it did not really bother Shaun until he reached high school, and he first found himself interested in girls. His first girlfriend was named Susie Halloway, and he did not meet her until he was fifteen years old. They dated for two months until he overheard her telling her friend that she was sick of him, and that she wanted to dump him. Shaun ran home after overhearing her, and he told his father what he heard. His father convinced him that all she needed was a swift reminder that he was in charge. just one swift hit.. he had told him. Of course if Shaun was aware that his old man was drunk at the time, he never would have listened to him. But he did. And on that night when he confessed to Susie what he heard, he hit her. Hard in the face. She fell to the ground in a fit of tears. Shaun didn't know what to do. So he ran. The next day he got a call from the school. Susie was not pressing charges, but the school had decided to expell him. After three weeks of his father trying to register Shaun in another school in the small town in California, it became clear that word had traveled. And no one wanted him there. So together they decided to move to the big apple. Good Ol New York. Everything was fine there for a good year. No one knew about what Shaun had done, he had been dating a girl for six months, named Angela. He was happy. Until she too decided she was done with him, and when she went to dump him...Shaun lost control. He thought she found out about his past and he hit her too, only this time when she fell she hit her head on a step and Shaun had no choice but to call 911. Of course just like before he was expelled, and charges were pressed. But with the help of a good lawyer, he managed to avoid any real jail time also in the fact that he was a minor. But the judge did sentence him to spend a year in a local institue for the mentally unstable, or as it is more commonly called..a mental institute. This of course seems odd since anger managemnet is more what should have been required. Until they found out that the lawyer knew of his fathers past and came to the conclusion that Shaun is mentally unstable. Shaun spent a year in this "hospital" where they drugged him daily to keep him calm. One time he managed to fake taking his pills, and when the nurse tried to force them down his throat he jumped her and slammed her into the wall. Landing her in a coma. He then took this as his chance to escape, and he ran back to his father. They just recently moved to Galveston Island, and Shaun refuses to admit he has a problem.
Personality:Shaun's personality all really depends on who he is in the presence of, what he has had to eaten, drink, did he take any medication? He has many personalities. No, he is not a total schizo, he just doesn't really know which side of himself he likes best, so he tends to be numerous people all at once. To see Shaun Deacon happy is almost as rare as seeing a monkey playing the banjo. You may see it once but not more then that. If he is smiling or laughing don't take it as being real. Because it's not. He has never really had a sincere and genuine smile, everything about him is faked just to please others. Shaun has more then a anger problem, he clearly has several mental problems. He can snap at you before you even get an entire word out. One slight smile or wave in his direction could cause him to jump from his seat and slam your head into the wall until you bleed, guy or girl. Being raised by a sadistic animal for a father is hard enough as it is, but also being as paranoid as Shaun is makes it even harder for him to be real.
Extra Curricular Activities:If Pill Popping where a school activity, he'd be the president.
Editorial: Doesn't care about them. They come near him, he'll beat em, they talk to him, touch him, look at him, breath near him, sit near him..he'll hurt em.

Name: Aislin Drysdale
Nickname: N/A
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: "Don’t Make A Sound” by Azure Ray
History: The story of how Aislin’s parents got together was nothing special or of relative importance. It was the fallout that would prove a catalyst for the events and circumstances that followed. Nancy Holden never pictured herself being a stay-at-home mom when she was growing up in her small Austen home, so when she found herself pregnant right out of college and married because “it was the right thing to do,” she wasn’t happy. And it showed. For ten years. Her life was put on hold for her eldest daughter Aislin, and then again nine years later when Emily Drysdale was born. Desmond Drysdale was a chauvinistic misanthropist who’s traditional conservatism clashed with Nancy’s zest for independence. As the years continued and he grew more abusive with her, both emotionally and physically, Nancy became more desperate to get out. Rather than be broken, she left, leaving her two daughters behind to deal with a stigma that’s stuck with them since. The older Aislin grew, the less she blamed her mother, as Desmond began to turn the verbal front on Aislin. Aislin managed to hang in there a little stronger, partly because she made sure she wasn’t home nearly as much. Between school, and the job she got herself at a record store on a work permit when she was fifteen, she found ways of avoiding her father. As the years progressed, he turned his attention to the many prospects that were paraded in and out of their house, sometimes staying with him weeks at a time before he grew bored with him, or they ran off of their own free will. Aislin could never attribute her staying power to an inner strength she somehow developed, or even a resilient stubbornness. It comes in the form of a nine year old little girl with pale blonde hair and big blue eyes; Emily is Aislin’s strength. An ambivalent statement for such a seemingly reclusive, bitter person.
Personality: There’s really not much that can be said about Aislin Drysdale. Not by other people anyway. Aislin’s view of the world, darkened with gloom and cynicism, has always been of the pessimistic nature even before the circumstances that took place years ago. Never one who was verbally inclined though, you won’t hear her wistful musings spoken out loud, for they’re something she refuses to burden others with. With a cynical outlook on life comes a surprisingly stubborn resilience. Aislin’s very self-sufficient, and often overloads herself with responsibilities, refusing the aid of the few who’ve ever offered it to her. Naturally, it’s hard to put up with someone who’s so temperamental and reclusive, and Aislin’s fully aware of this fact too. Consider it something of a defensive crutch; most people just ignore Aislin, but those who don’t rarely get more than two words in with her as she ducks most attempts to make conversation with her. Her tongue, albeit sharp, is rarely put to use, for she’s a victim to her own apathy, and doesn’t care enough to set out to change the world or the opinions others wield over both her and others. The bitterly candid mind-set is the easiest to wear, as she convinced herself long ago that people make up their minds quickly, and any attempt to change it was depressingly hopeless.
Extra Curriculars: The closest thing to an extra curricular activity Aislin is involved in is her after school job at Big Joe’s Record store. Occasionally she’s the back-up drummer for Allowing Destruction too.
Editorial: To each their own. If you enjoy fucking with the lives of others or letting yourself get fucked over, that’s your prerogative. And it’s Aislin’s prerogative to stay out of it.
Crush: Ten years ago, eight year old Aislin gave B. Jeremy Hughes a mix tape at random on the school yard jungle gym one day. Nine years ago, three months after her mother left, she moved next door to Griffin Coulson and muttered a polite “Hello” on the rare occasion she’d see him outside when taking out the trash or getting the mail. Eight years ago Aislin decided Harlow Kincade was quite probably the cutest 5th grader she’d ever been lucky to lay eyes on. Eight years later, each has fallen into their own crowds (some clearly larger than others), arguably having grown up for the worse. Aislin hasn’t noticed, and has probably forgotten most of the aforementioned. Between cataloging old A-tracks and taking her little sister from school (she’s a very proud fourth grade honor student) to soccer practice every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Aislin has little time to think about boys. In fact, she probably knows more about the great “loves” of Emily Drysdale’s life (the object of her little affections is none other than Bobby Townsworth, pitcher for the Ball Elementary baseball team) than her own.

Name: Ian Ellsworth
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: "You Think You're A Man" - Full Frontal
History: This is the story that everybody asks to hear. Ian tells it everywhere, at parties, football games, pep rallies, and nobody ever tires of hearing it. Nobody bothers to stop anybody from asking - "When did you realize you were gay?", because everybody loves hearing the long-winded answer. It all started when Ian was six. Yes, six. His parents took him and his younger sister, Reagan, to the playground. It was there that he met a boy named Justin. You know how when you're six you build a sandcastle with somebody and suddenly you're best friends? It was like that. Justin and Ian were playmates. Er. Mind out of the gutter, not like that. Whenever Ian was around Jordan he felt this warm feeling in the pit of his stomach, it was inexplicable. When he was in the fourth grade, Justin moved to Boston, and Ian felt like there was this black hole in his heart, a space that would never be filled again. This may be because after that, it would be awhile before he was close to another boy. There was something about Ian, something that exuded, that seemed to keep the other boys away. Maybe it was Ian who wanted to stay away from them at that age. After all, he was disgusted by mud pies and Power Rangers. Except the pink ranger. She was allright. Anyway. At this time Ian was actually playing with girls, while all the other boys were screaming about cooties and girl germs. His parents thought that this was very mature of him. In fact, they thought he was quite the ladies' man. How wrong they were! At first Ian was friends with all of his sister's little friends. Then his sister became this rather strange... thing... in middle school, and his sister had no friends. So Ian decided to make his own and he fell into quite the popular crowd. In the eighth grade he dated a girl named Stacey Sheen, she was a mini-Paris Hilton waiting to happen. Ian loved her, he loved everything about her, the smell of her hair and how soft it was and the way she wore those adorable pink skirts and had all those Kate Spade purses. If you like someone, you should ask them out. So Ian did, and he and Stacey were the "it" couple of their school. They were two beautiful people and they looked great together. But they never held hands and they never kissed. During their third date, when Stacey leaned in and pressed her lips up against Ian's, the first thing he tasted was her bubblegum flavored lip-gloss. That wasn't so bad. Then there was a tongue and Ian quickly made an excuse about having diarrhea and ditched her at the party they were at. Needless to say, Ian had quite the breakdown. He got kissed by the hottest girl in school and he was disgusted. Surely, something wasn't right. Ian decided he just wasn't ready for a relationship. He dumped Stacey, who wasn't very happy because gossip about Ian ditching her had spread and her reputation had been tainted. Because of that, Ian fell from the popular crowd. He decided to fixate his time upon school work instead of girls and became a good student. In his freshman year of high school, Ian joined the debate team. They had a tournament in Boston, and who should be on his opposing team but Justin. During the weekend they bonded and on the night before Ian left to go back home, they were hanging out in Ian's hotel room when Justin told Ian that he was a homosexual. Ian didn't have time to respond before Justin had leaned over and kissed him. And that was it. Ian had never felt more complete in his life and he knew that this homosexuality - well, this was the answer. The meaning to his life, what he had been looking for. This was it. The next day, the two of them decided to stay in touch, however not pursue a relationship because of the distance as well as for the sake of their great friendship. Ian thanked Justin for his awakening and went back to Texas a new man. The first person he told was his sister, and the two kept it a secret between them until sophomore year started and Ian met a guy at a football game between their rival school. He really wanted to date this guy, but he knew he would have to bring it up to his parents, sneaking around was too much of a hassle and surely this guy deserved better than that. During dinner while they were all watching The Apprentice, Ian spilled the beans. He was gay. His parents weren't too thrilled, they still aren't, especially his father. But they have to get used to it. Since then, Ian's never been happier with himself. He is who is. Sure, the football team gives him a hard time but he's got a ton of girls who think he's the cutest thing there to protect him. And that's his answer to the question.
Personality: Ian is a very friendly guy, a little too friendly perhaps. He's so outgoing and so out there that a lot of people are a little intimidated. They don't really know what to think of him. He's a bit poofy and flamboyant at times, but more with his actions than his actual apperance. Ian likes to dress nicely, and he's never thought that wearing a rainbow striped tight tee and even tighter leather pants was very sexy. It's about looking good to him, not looking girly. That being said, when it comes to men, Ian can be a bit superficial at times and definetly materialistic. As strong as Ian's personality is, he definetly has his vulnerable moments. It'd be ideal if he was able to go through high school untouched, but it's not going to happen. When he's cornered by a bunch of really tough guys, it's only natural for him to start whimpering and acting like a baby - who can blame him? Those guys are scary, they barely shower and they sniff each other's jock straps - jock straps that aren't even made by Calvin Klein. It's really terrifying and Ian is comfortable enough with himself to scream like a little girl when they are around.
Extra Curricular Activities: Yearbook, Photojournalism, Art, and Theatre.
Editorial: Hate them? Hell, no! Do you know how hard it is for a guy like Ian to get some around here? In Texas? The Players seem to think that getting Ian to fall in love with them scores them brownie points, so Ian is more than happy to play along. Everybody wins!
Crush: At the beginning of freshman year, everybody around Ian was placing bets on who he was going to get with - Cassidy Rhea or Alessandra De'grahm. Ian was always seen accompanied by one of the two girls, or both. They were the outcasts, for some reason or another, be it brains, sexual orientation, or just because. Naturally, after Ian came out, all the bets were dropped, though surprisingly after that instead of being shunned even further, people seemed to take interest in Ian. It was like he was a specimen at the zoo and everybody around him was staring; the popular girls were asking him for fashion advice, and suddenly he wasn't such a loser. Even if it did tear him away from his best friends, Ian (he feels guilty about this) doesn't mind, because it means he has a better chance of being with him. Who is he? Just the man who would put Michaelangelo's David to shame. Jarrett Meyers. Just hearing his name sends shivers up Ian's spine. Needless to say, he is infatuated. Jarret isn't only beautiful, he's graceful, not even the least bit awkward about his sexuality, and everybody respects him because he's on the soccer team. They like him for who he is, not just because he'll give them good advice on nail polish. He's everything Ian wants to be, and in Ian's eyes, he is perfect. Now, Ian could gush about Jarrett for days, but let's get to the twist. Lately, Ian has been receiving attention from somebody. He feels the eyes watching him, the weird way he seems to always bump into Rafe Carmichael in the halls. Now, Rafe is as straight as they come, so Ian is a little lost. Nobody knows how to spot a closet homosexual like Ian, having been there once, and his instincts are going against the logic that insists that Rafe is hetero.

Name: Aidan Fitzgarald
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Do or Die - Papa Roach
History: London native Jonathan Fitzgarald never knew a lad like himself would ever fall in love with such a beautiful woman and have her as his own at the same time. That was until he met Claudia Sanders, who moved up to London to persue an artistic career. He thought she had to be one of the best artists he'd ever see, and the most beautiful one. When they fell in love, Claudia has a baby boy, Aidan Thomas Fitzgarald. Claudia instantly knew he was going to be an artist as she was. Everyday, Jonathan would go to his short paid job while Claudia would stay at home painting with the baby. They didn't have much, but they felt as if they were already the best family in the whole UK. By the time Aidan was six, he was already painting himself already. He wasn't the best, but pretty good for a little tadpole starting out. His mother was his life support. She showed him everything, how to live life, how to paint, how to do anything he needed. She seemed like an angel from heaven to him. Then there was his father, who tried so hard to support them, that there was really no time to show affection between him and his son. It wasn't until one morning, when Aidan was six, his father kissed his regular goodbyes before work, and never came back. He was hit by an oncoming car, and instantly killed. Emotionally, they were forced to move finacially to Texas, US; where Claudia's family is located. Knowing nothing of his new surroundings, Aidan turned to painting, and nothing else. Through elementary and middle school, he had only a few friends, but when it came to something that he'd never die down from, it was painting. He actually let all his emotions out, from his father's death to his mother's depression, by painting. Once he reached high school, his mother died down on painting, knowing it was too much to bear still, and that she had a broken family to support. But, along with his past, Aidan finds painting his excuse of 'speaking', making him known at school as 'the kid who doesn't talk much'.
Personality: The kid who doesn't talk much fits Aidan to a T. Painting is his excuse of talking, and really expressing himself in that matter. He's a very artistic child, and he thinks it's the only good thing that God's ever gave him in his lifetime. He likes to live a very secretive life, and letting his emotions out by words might be the hardest thing a person can do. He's even as secretive with his friends, showing he's not really good at making them either. He has his share of 'friends', but when it comes to his true partner in crime, it has to be his canvas'.
Extra Curricular Activities: Art Club
Editorial: He really doesn't pay attention to all those 'players' at his school. He does tend to draw some of them though. He finds them amusing, and likes to watch them at a distance. But, when it comes to socializing with them, he does none of the sort.

Theme Song: This is optional
History: Madison's life is just about as dull and normal as they go. She was born into the average household, the average family. Her parents, Michael and Roxanne met at seventeen in high school. He was the captin of the football team and she was dating the captin of the rival football team where she was the head cheerleader. One day his team won the big championship, and the rival team came to their victory party. She came on the arm of Michael's rival, and he was pretty much alone. By the end of the night after pretty much everyone had left or was passed out in a pool of their own barf somewhere around the party, they got to talking. They ended up hooking up in the closet. For the next six months of the school year they spent their time together sneaking around. She was still seeing her boyfriend and since they did not go to the same school it made it even harder for them to find excuses to keep "bumping into" each other in public. Finally after they graduated from high school they split and said their goodbyes. They met up three months later when they discovered they went to the same college. They were finally able to be together in public. Of course two weeks into the semester..well..she became pregnant with Madison. They got married six months later and have actually been happily married. Madison often wonders why the hell her parents are always so damn happy. They walk around like they are something out of a cheesy romance novel. They laugh, they joke, they smile, they are happy. Well..they seemed happy. A week ago Madison as usual, decided to skip Math class. She went home early and she walked in on her father. With another women. He didn't see her and now her parents are both wondering why she's so distant. She's never home anymore. She actually hates her parents now., Her father for doing what he's doing and her mother for being so damn stupid that she can't even see the signs right in front of her eyes. Her father's always been a happy man but he comes home late at night, sometimes he doesn't come home at all. He calls with stupid excuses like he's staying over at the office, and when he does come home early he's always giving her things. It's called guilt. Yet her mother is just so damn blind.
Personality:If you want to mess with someone, you better make sure it's not someone who will mess with you back. Madison does not like people, at all. It's pretty much her moto. People Suck. She usually says it at least once a day. She never used to be this way but ever since she walked in on her father, she's grown darker and sort of in a slight depression. Her entire world is crumbling around her. She doesn't talk to many of her friends anymore. And when she does, she's not the same she used to be. She perfers to be left alone a large portion of the day, and when people try to pressure her to talk to them she usually snaps. Calls them a name or tells them to go to hell. She just wants to graduate and get as far away from this town and these people as possible.
Extra Curricular Activities:
Editorial: A few months ago she couldn't give a damn. But now? Now she hates them all so much. What kind of person takes pleasure in destroying innocent girls? Or hell even the guys are getting played now. She really hates these idiots.

Name: Elizabeth Harding
Age: 18
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day
History: As the typical, teenage girl living off her Daddy's wallet in a suburb with houses of little variation lining the streets, Elizabeth's primary concern was how far she could go away for Spring Break, and how much money she could get out of her parents for said trip. She paid more attention to her parents' credit card limit then their relationship, so she was just a little bit surprised when their marriage 'suddenly' ended. In a matter of days (months, really, but to Elizabeth, everything gets a little exaggerated), Elizabeth's life was completely over. In her eyes, this change meant the end of the world. Derrick and Bridget Harding parted on bitter terms, despite the several years they had spent trying to repair their marriage, even their very friendship. They bitterly involved Elizabeth in a custodial war, leaving Elizabeth with a choice. Mother or Father. Elizabeth was sixteen at the time, an age where she was supposedly mature enough to make a decision. A sale at Bloomingdale's? No problem. She'd be there in a heartbeat. Which parent to pick? Not so easy. For what grounds she still hasn't revealed, Elizabeth chose her father, only to regret it later when he remarried. To a woman he'd had an affair with. Not only did this scream therapy, but Rebecca Chase, his new wife, also had a son. Two, bitter teenagers hardly made the house peaceful. But they're OK now. Sort of.
Personality: Elizabeth is a rich, spoiled little bitch. Or at least she was. It was a bit of a pity that it took her parent's divorce to make her see that, but Elizabeth realized that (gasp!) there is more to life than material possessions. She still harbors some guilt from not realizing the problems in her parents' marriage, and from refusing to accept her father's new wife until now. Elizabeth likes to think that she's changed, and in some ways, she has. She does actually take others' feelings into consideration, although she finds it difficult to contain her sarcastic remarks when any hormonal moron crosses her path. Of course, she still has her stash of Gucci bags and accessories, but no one needs to know about that. Even in her newly gained acceptance of her present situation, she really, really can't seem to agree with her step brother. They have continuously fought since their parents' marriage, never once agreeing on anything. She detests her step brother, and she does get some sort of sick pleasure out of tormenting him. There's nothing wrong with a few, practical jokes, right?
Editorial: These are the kind of people that Elizabeth actually used to hang out with, laughing with them at the expense of their victims. She doesn't ususally associate with them anymore, and, mostly out of guilt, she lashes out at them irrationally. And maybe trips them occasionally.
Crush: When asked about her relationship with Samuel Chase, her stepbrother, Elizabeth cringes, knowing exactly what kind of question follows. Since apparently the whole world is stuck in the Cruel Intentions mindset, Elizabeth constantly denies any sort of sexual relationship with her brother. She denied it with so much passion that people mockingly believed she had something to hide. Recently, she stiffly responds that such a question doesn't merit an answer, and walks away in a huff. She adamantally despises her stepbrother, and even if she just...happened to harbor a secret attraction to him, she would never, ever, admit it. But the thing about Elizabeth is, she would never admit anything like that. She just might have a slight crush on the likes of Brannon Davison and Carter Paxton, but since she's trying to get away from those types of guys, she'll take those secret attractions to her grave.

Name: Blaire Inscoe
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: ‘‘It Can’t Come Quickly Enough’’ by Scissor Sisters
History: Callie Kennard was a footnote in other people’s lives, with gauche goyasha blondness that had successfully seduced every gossip page in Long Island. Manipulative and chauvinistic, Callie earned her Rudolph red nose the same way any other good alcoholic would have; with screaming matches at New York’s most prime cocktail parties, and a notorious appetite for tennis pros and ski instructors. One day, Long Island’s favorite socialite was upping her dosage of Prozac at one of New York’s prestigious hospitals. After sharing a yelling contest with the secretary and slipping continuously on the recently waxed tile, Callie had successfully refilled her orange bottle. Manolo Blahniks clicked against the concrete of the parking lot as Callie sauntered towards her Jaguar, her designer handbag swinging with each step. While she was backing out of her parking space, however, Callie’s good day was suddenly put to halt when she reversed into a Mercedes. Shooting glances in all directions and finding no one around, Callie decided to run. Unfortunately for Ms. Kennard, the sole witness and ironically the owner of said Mercedes was nearby, having been paying a visit to his ill grandmother earlier that morning. Samuel Inscoe immediately dropped his coffee and sprinted towards his hurt car, where he launched into an ‘eighty-words-a-minute’ tirade about how to watch where the fuck you’re going when you’re backing up. Callie, needless to say, fought back, flailing her arms about wildly and coming deathly close to smacking Samuel repeatedly with her handbag. An hour later, the two landed behind bars for inappropriate behavior in a public vicinity. While sharing a cell with each other, the screaming brigade realized just how much attraction floated between them, and in a matter of four days, Samuel and Callie had their first date. They went on to unite in holy matrimony and a year after, Brody Inscoe was born. And two minutes after Brody Inscoe was born, Blaire Inscoe was born. “Holy shit, Sam, we’ve got twins!” announced Callie. Years of diapers, pacifiers, and baby monitors flew by and before they knew it, Samuel and Callie were watching their two angels mature into young adults. Everything was picture perfect for the Inscoe family, until the twins’ sixteenth Halloween. Most people don’t understand what it’s like to think you were born to die. Brody Inscoe was one of those people. The older Inscoe twin was riding someone else’s motorcycle, smoking someone else’s dope with someone else’s friends, fulfilling someone else’s destiny, and then in a flash and a tree stump, he was gone as if he was never there. The entire Inscoe household was devastated; Samuel, for only the second time in his life, sat on the bottom step of the stairs and cried. Callie refused to leave the bedroom for days and threw things at the wall, not able to understand why her son was taken away from her. Blaire sat in school, staring off into space, dazed and confused and denying that her brother was gone for good. Until this day, the Inscoe family is still trying to pick up the broken glass and replace it into the mirror that was their good life; and so far, it’s going moderately good. Although Brody’s death shook the family up, the remaining Inscoe’s are doing their best to forget and pursue on with their lives.
Personality: Vivacious and candid, Blaire Inscoe was the complete opposite of Brody. While Brody was broody (hence ‘Broody Brody’) and introverted, Blaire was the shining star of the family. Genial and outgoing, Blaire is the kind of individual that one would notice across the classroom. Not necessarily because she’s the prettiest girl around, but more so that she is habitually flashing that damn smile of hers. Depicted as one of Ball High’s good girls, Blaire has never been one to take things at face value and has always contested to inhabit optimism. Blaire’s accordant and cosmopolitan facade is hard to dislike, and her genuine charm is difficult to refuse. Blaire is constantly looking for ways to better the world and to lift up a gloomy day. Whether it’s dancing in the pouring rain or starting food fights in the school’s cafeteria, Blaire makes it her personal desire to put a smile on everyone’s face. Endowed with an amicable heart and tantalizing words, Blaire might be one of the nice girls, but she adamantly refuses to let someone bite her head off without the slightest bit of retaliation. Blaire doesn’t let her fellow peers walk over her and in the sporadic instance that they do, one can be sure to confirm Blaire as an undeniable force to be reckoned with. Blaire tries her best to assert confidence at every corner possible, finding it one of the most attractive qualities one can possess, and when Blaire Inscoe feels obdurate about a certain subject, you can be sure that the entire population of Galveston Island will be aware of it.
Extra Curricular Activities: Key Club and FCCLA. Before Brody’s death, Blaire was involved in many other things, including Varsity Soccer and Model United Nations. Now that she is finally beginning to pick up the pieces of her life, Blaire is trying to once more be involved in Ball High’s extra curriculars.
Editorial: Aware of the game and equally disgusted and repulsed, Blaire doesn’t understand how a bunch of boys can compete with each other for sex. In fact, Blaire finds it rather pitiful and every other adjective that has a slight connotation to ‘pathetic’ that her fellow peers have to set their determination and ambition on breaking girls’ hearts to make themselves feel better. While she is usually a fan of competition, this is one game that Blaire refuses to participate in, and will damn the fool that tries to involve her.
Crush: While the tantalizing poetry of Lord Byron and the whimsical lyrics of modern day’s pop melodies usually charm females rounding her own age, Blaire Inscoe has matured to new heights. No longer is the glamourous fantasy of true love and romance, but instead a thick wall blockading Blaire’s heart from anything that could hurt it. Through despair and tragedy, Blaire’s learned that nothing is as it truly seems and there is always a deeper, darker side to everything. Blaire is beyond the point where she’s going to involve herself in the petty competition that’s high school relationships, and would rather not complicate herself and her own time trying to please someone else when she has better things to do. However, Blaire’s obstinate opinion towards love doesn’t mean she’s blind: Blaire has a pair of eyes, and the last time she checked, they worked. She is well aware of the fact that many of her peers, including good-hearted Sawyer Crossing and the ever humorous Boone McKenzie are what one prepubescent J-14 reader may deem “hawt” and “sexay”. And that’s only two. There’s also Zach Lancaster, who Blaire would rather thrust herself off of the Grand Canyon than admit to being the slightest bit attracted to. Mateo Soto has pretty eyes, Darrius Bauer looks like he belongs in an Abercrombie ad, and there’s always been a soft spot for Jeremy Myers after Blaire sat behind him in grade seven Geography. Again, Blaire has eyes, and more importantly, Blaire is not some anti-love hermit; she likes guys, she likes looking at guys, but would rather not have a relationship with one. Right now

Name: Adriana ‘Adi’ Jolin
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: --
History: If asked not that long ago Adriana would tell you that her family life was perfect. This in itself was always a lie, but it seemed easy to gloss over the minor disagreements, and the major ones. From the outside it did appear that life was good for the Jolins. Peter and Sally Jolin had two exceptionally beautiful daughters, who everyone agreed were darlings, and Peter and Sally seemed so well matched for each other. He was broad and well off. She was blonde and well spoken. Both were horribly attractive. Unfortunately both were also a little outspoken and spoilt. While physically they may have seemed like the perfect match, mentally they seemed constantly at battle, neither of them willing to submit to the other. At first this lead to a perfect fiery relationship, where heated arguments often lead to heated sex. But marriage seemed to change all that. No longer was there any excitement in their bickering. The birth of their first child didn’t appear to help all that much and by the time Adriana was born there were definite cranks in the relationship, but everyone was very good at ignoring those, and so, they were. But Peter had tired of Sally and vice versa, so both agreed that they would renew the terms of their marriage and have a much more open relationship. Both took on lovers and both were aware of their spouses’ new partners. It seemed the perfect arrangement. That was until Sally’s mother walked in on Peter in a rather compromising situation with a woman that wasn’t her daughter and the word divorce was screamed. Slightly embarrassed about the pact they couple split and Adriana was now a child from a broken home. Not that she hadn’t been before; it was just know it was far more public.
Personality: It’s one of those clichés, the popular girls are always meaner than mean, doing their best to trample on anyone’s dreams in order to grapple their way to the proverbial ‘top’. Adriana is not really one of these girls. No one would go out of their way to claim that Adriana Jolin was one of the nicer girls in the school, but no one really has any reason to call her a back-stabbing bitch. She’s as cruel as she needs to be, which sometimes might be more than other people enjoy, but to be honest those people are often the ones that she doesn’t care all that much for. While Adriana may not be the stereotypical mean girl, she’s not about to go out of her way to spend any time with the ‘little people’, not that she’d ever call them that. She just mainly ignores their existence. If they don’t bother her then she doesn’t really need to worry. If they do a scowl often puts them in her place. It’s just that unlike it might be assumed she doesn’t really get any pleasure out of this scowl, it’s just something that her face has to do in order to get rid of those people that she doesn’t really want to talk to. But then these people are normally just ‘wallpaper people; (i.e. those ones that very few people notice). These people are rarely Adriana’s friends. Because in her mind you don’t really need to scowl at friends. Nor do you need to make up silly rumours about them in order to get ahead. Which is maybe why Adriana might be considered a little behind a few of them. She’s the nice one. Or at least that’s her cutesy little label; it’s not something that she agrees all that much with. Adriana herself believes that she’s the intelligent one. Her grades may not reflect this but she’s certainly not a naïve little girl. She’s brutally aware of the fact that life isn’t always perfect and so never expects it to be. Sometimes things go wrong and she’s aware of this enough to not allow her whole life to be ruined by a bitchy comment or a bad boyfriend, there’s more to life than that.
Extra Curricular Activities: Dance club, Gymnastics, Cheerleading
Editorial: Adriana knows a vast majority of these so-called ‘players’. And to be honest she never saw anything all that bad with then, even the ones she’s slept with. To be honest Adriana doesn’t really see any of these boys as players. They’re just boys, and extraordinarily very few of them have managed to have a great emotional impact on her life. She knows about their game and is quite happy to play along, she just knows that she’s not naïve enough to fall for any of them.
Crush: Adriana has made noteable bad decisions when it comes to men, but she's at the stage in her life when she classes ever relationship as something rather pointless. Which really is good, because she's not been in one that's lasted all that long. This is probably because in her mind sex plays quite an important role in the whole dating game. Which in some people's eyes might make her a vixen, or whatever they're called, but Adriana never goes out searching for sex, nor does she get rid of boys straight after the deed has taken place. Although if you look at her track reason it might appear that they've done that. And it doesn't look like it's going to be changing any time soon, although she does appear to have weaned herself off the sportsmen (yes, she may still be flirting with Benett Rowsgrove, but he's also quite pretty so she decided to forgive herself for that one.) And for that reason it's now boys like Samuel Chase and Harlow Kincade that get her heart pumping. Not really much of an improvment, but she's working on it.

Taken By: The Seannaholic Wench
Name: Shannon Landon
Age: 18
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: ...
History: She was fourth child out of eight children to Cass and Ronald Landon. Being a part of a big family meant that she couldn't be always the center of attention. Not that she was ignored, she often felt that maybe too much attention was placed on her.
The first born girl in the family was no piece of cake. The fact of having older brothers was to the point of being annoying. They were typical older male subling...especially with a little sister. Protective over her, she wished that she was an only child.
She thanked the heavens above when after a dry spell of no girls after the birth of younger brothers that her mother had twins which happened to be both girls. Sure there was an age difference, but at least maybe some of the focas could taken off of her.
It was no help really once she turned 14. Her parents allowed her to start date then. Of cousre, her older brothers made dating not a picnic in the park. Every guy that she went out with had a hard time. Her brothers and father made it abundently clear that if they touched her they would have two feet and whole body in an early grave. It began to become frustrated.
The thing that frustrated her the most though was the fact of her mother and father's views about dating outside of her race. They strictly forbid it. Their attitude was that of it was alright to be friends with others of different races, but ohh dating was a big no no. Shannon was never the type to believe that, but she has done what parents said.
Dating had been the last thing on her mind anyways. Her father about six months back lost his job. The saving pretty much got spent and him having to provide for a family made it where they had to move to a new location for a job. He finally got a job offer in Texas. Moving there and now Shannon is settling in.
Personality: Shannon is a likeable person most would say. She is laid back as far as her nature. Nothing really does bother her type of personality. Most things that would annoy others, she will let it roll off her back and slide.
She is warm, friendly, and always the first one to go up to somebody in a crowd....start a conversation with a total stranger. That is just how she is. She makes friends fairly easy as you probably could tell.
Though it could be a weakness and get her in a bad situation that she believes that there is good in all people. Not that she is naive, but she believes that a little bit of kindness does go a long way with people.
She is the first one to help people out. She will do anything for a friend. And a true romantic to boot, she believes that love is something great and sex is something that is secondary.
Extra Curricular Activities: She is spends her spare time helping out the local homeless shelter, plus babysits
Editorial: What is the point of having sex like that? Sex isn't something you should have. Sex is a combination of time, work, and love in a relationship to build to that point. Lust just leads you to hurt.

Taken By: Age Six Racer
Name: Sebastian Laroche
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Senior
History: Perhaps the most significant details of Sebastian's past are those that explain how he ended up in Galveston Island, Texas only weeks ago. How his parents met and their journey to parenthood are irrelevant, as Sebastian barely knows the story. Seventeen years ago Robert and Sarah Laroche had their first and only child, in the city of Des Moines, Iowa. Both parents struggled to find work, with Robert even applying at the local Wendy's out of desperation. They were forced to live in a small apartment, basically a little bit larger than a college dorm room. Living well below the poverty line hadn't bothered Sebastian as a child, mainly because he was too young to understand. How was he supposed to know that not having a television or luxury items deemed his family the modern day lepers of their community? It wasn't until he started school that things started to happen. Mocking, teasing, avoidance, you name it. Every childhood insecurity dragged out from within him and shoved right in his face. Boys didn't want to hang out with him because he didn't have cool toys, and girls claimed he had "extra cooties" because he smelled bad. It was no surprise that he became an extremely antisocial child, and developed a hatred for all of those who teased him. Yes, at the age of six he had his own shit list. The teasing would continue throughout the years, and as he got older Sebastian began to place the blame on his parents for his apparent distress. And so the transformation began. A boy who was once kind and loving towards his parents became hostile and rebellious. Everything he did was to spite them, and by the time he was twelve he considered himself independent from both parents. The behaviour escalated in the first few years of high school, despite his father's recent success in the world of business. Kids could no longer tease him for not having money, and girls no longer ran away at the sight of him. But it didn't change the fact that they once had. Thus, on a winter's day in the eleventh grade, he composed an assortment of fliers depicting all of those who had caused his childhood trauma, subjecting them to insulting terms and pure embarrassment. And Sebastian? Loved every minute of it. Of course expulsion resulted, as his actions were seen as an act of harassment. Robert and Sarah had no choice but to send their son away, somewhere where he could start over. Why Galveston Island? It was the only place that relatives lived outside of the state of Iowa. So, to grandmother's house he went!
Personality: While Sebastian managed to rid himself of that tormented child outlook on life, he still isn't ready to be the next member of the Brady Bunch family. On a more positive note, he acquired some social skills over the last two years, mainly because he is no longer afraid of what people think. Sebastian is far from the 'quiet, sweet, shy-guy' stereotype. Of course he minds his own business, but if he has something to say to someone, he will say it. He has no regard for repercussions, because in all honesty? He doesn't care for many people. They deserve what's coming to them, even if it's an insult. He likes to live on the rebellious side of life, permitting him the freedom and control he desires. Not showing up for class, cursing at teachers and disregarding any type of rule all top his list of main activities, though most are kept on the downlow. Perhaps the best word to describe him though is manipulative. He's willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Sebastian likes when things go his way. And if they don't? Well, he gets pissed and will probably seek revenge in some shape or form. Starting over at a new school gives him the opportunity to act completely out of character, and chances are he will take advantage of that.
Extra Curricular Activities: He's being pressured into trying new things, so Sebastian figured he would. Keep in mind he will probably quit a few weeks into each commitment. So far he's chosen two activities that aren't high up on the physical activity chart (i.e. basketball) - Production (the technical stuff), and photojournalism.
Editorial: So these so-called Players sleep with girls blah blah blah. Who cares. It's actually kind of funny when you think about it. Girls getting hurt because of their own stupidity? Awesome.

Name: Theresa "Ti" Lei
Nicknames: None
Age: 17
Grade: 12
Theme Song: "None of Your Business" by Salt-N-Pepper
History: Ti was born the oldest child of Joseph and Carol Lei. They were just fresh out of college when they got married and a few months later, they became pregnant with Ti.
Ti grew up daddy's little princess. The one who was the center of attention. She took ballet lessons as well were in various pagnents where she won several crowns throughout the years.
Always popular in school, it was no surprise when she hit puberty, she had boys knocking at her door to take her out. But sometimes that can be a bad thing. One night while on a date with an older high school boy (She was in the 8th grade and he was in the 10th grade) things went a bit further than she liked when they were in his car with two of his buddies riding along. One thing lead to another. They had all been drinking. Thing went too far and they proceeded to rape her all three of them. Taking turns doing god knows what. Things that can't be mentioned here.
She reported them to the police, but nothing came about it after she decided to drop the charges. Rumors were spread around school and the town that she was a slut and easy. (Even to this day, nothing much has changed as far as that) She gave up and just dropped the charges.
Personality: Ti is the type of girl that you call a "freak". Freak not in the weirdo term, but freak in the sexual way. It isn't as if she is totally a bad person, she is just strong in her sexuality and personality. She doesn't care declare herself as lesbain, gay, straight, or even bisexual. Why classify yourself so early in life when you aren't even sure what the next day will bring? One day she had the taste for a man, the next a woman...hell the next it could be both. You could call her bisexual, but she hates titles and labels. She is who she is. If she doesn't like who she is, like she cares. Next subject please.
When she sees somebody she likes, she set her mind on them. Call it almost like her version of the game the guys are playing. Hell even call her female player in the way she gets with people and the next day she is bored with them.
To most people, Laura appears to be just a very strong person who speaks her mind. She flaunts her sexuality and sometimes is called certain labels she doesn't like, but hey you win some and you lose some. Everybody has their right to their own opinions, even if it is wrong.
Very independent, she doesn't need to be taken care of by anybody. Boyfriends or girlfriends are just a headache and parents...they can stay away from her damn business. She likes to be on her own plan and simple.

Name: Franklin "Frankie, Frank" Littrell
Age: 21
Grade: 12
Theme Song: "I'm Still Here" by Johnny Rzeznik
History: Frank started out life hard. The pregnancy was unplanned for the newly married couple that concieved the child that would become Franklin. When Frank was born, he was taking care of by his mother...but his father was distant and cold. Around the age of three, he began to beat Frank. Before that, Frank's mother had been beating on a daily basis. Life was a daily abusive situation for him.
When it came to the proper age to put your children in school, Frank's father would have none of that. Claiming he would hold off a year and then the year came...then another one. The clear and bitter fact was that his father didn't want Frank to amount to anything. He didn't want him in the first place...so why should he get an education? His mother, though, was growing tired of the games. She finally decided to stand up for her and her son's right.
But it turned ugly. The night she tried to her husband, it turned deadly. A bitter fight broke out, the husband beat his wife, it got rougher, and she ended up dead. His father was sent off dead.
Since Frank had no family left, he was put into the foster care system. That fall, he was put in school for the first time. Falling behind the other children he had trouble learning. In the first grade he had to repeat it. It wasn't untill the third grade that it was discovered he had a learning disability. He got the help he needed and his school work improved.
Even with his school work back on track, he was still shipped between foster homes. Not until he turned ten did he find a place he could really find home. The Smiths were just the family he needed. He experienced love he had never had and made lasting friendships though the neighborhood children.
One of the neighborhood kids he befriended was Preston Myers. A boy who lived only a few hours down. Even though there was a three years age difference, Frank bonded with Preston over the years he lived around him. Years passed and the age wasn't really that big of a deal. They became the best of friends and still are to this day. When Preston got cancer, he helped out him and his brothers with anything they needed. And hangs around the place a lot.
Frank currently is a senior at the high school. When he got to the legal age, the foster system basically kicked him out on his butt...but he was lucky enough where Mrs. Smith let him stay with them till he could save the money for his own place. After about a year or so, he could. He lives in his own apartment where he worked evening and weekend shifts at the autoshop down the street from his apartment.
Personality: Confident...to say the least. A little on the concieted side but mostly friendly. Frank has a charm to him that some get and some don't. He can crack jokes with the best of them. And when it comes to his @ss, he has a big thing about it...he thinks it is good gift for some reason...part of it is joking and another part is half serious. The cockiness he has is a shield to protect himself. Some people have often wondered what his deal was...that he comes off almost as an ******* at times. But he lets down his guard for only people he close to...especially for Preston. The only person he really trusts.
Extra Curricular Activities: Works when he can at the local autoshop to pay his bills.
Editorial: If they want to play games, that is their deal. None of his business.
Crush: Though he'd never admit it, he has always had a thing for Preston. Preston has always been his friend and it scares him to admit how he feels. And too on top of it, he has always considered himself straight...Preston is the only guy he has even thought of in that way. So, he isn't sure if it is just a fluke or what he feels for Preston is more.

Grade: Senior
Theme Song: "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson
History: Breed, born, and raised in town, Kate is a hometown gal. Her parents already had three children before Kate was born and after she was born two more. Growing up, money somewhat tight. Kids often made fun of Kate because of the fact that she had to be on the free lunch program and had to buy her clothes at second hand stores and Walmart. The fact that she lived in a trailer part wasn't something most people were impressed by either. But she didn't care. She grew up as happy as a child could be, even not being the richest person the world.
Teenager years were about the same, she got a job at the age of 14 to help her family. Working at a local pizza place weekends for the last couple of years, she met her now ex boyfriend. They dated for over a years, but then he had to go away for college. He got a scholarship to Texas A&M...instead of keeping it a long distance thing, they decided to break up.
Still leaving at home, she helped out with her family still by working part time. She is currently trying to save for college which she has done for the past year or so. She plans on making something more of her life than what she has been living. Though she is still proud of her roots, she wants to make her parents proud.
Personality: Kate is a very proud person, but not where she can't be humble. She knows people talk about her behind her back, but she doesn't care. Yeah sometimes it does bother her, but people with little minds will never change. She can't help the fact that she isn't rich. The fact that she likes country music over any of the popular hip music gets her teased more than she'd like, but she still doesn't care. She likes to shop at Walmart...it is who she is. Intelligent, proud, and humble are just a few of the words the could explain Kate.

For the most part they had the basic trials and tribulations of any middle class family....money was never too tight but it wasn't exactly like they are anything near being well off. She never was really all that noticed going through junior high but once freshman year of high school came along...well let's just say that she really blossomed in the beauty that she is today and of course the boys took notice with a quickness. One in particular was a guy that she had a thing for since the 7th grade....and when he suddenly realized that she existed in more then just a passing conversation sort of way...well she couldn't be happier. Though that was to be short lived....after a few months of being together she discovered that everything was nothing but a front....all he was after was what she was almost willing to give him but luckily hadn't and well once she found out the truth, well that chance just went out the window. Sure she cried and was hurt by it but in the end it just made her stronger and definitely opened her eyes to the reality of the world...sometimes there were people out there that were the embodiment of a wolf in sheep's clothing and they were only out for their own interest and cared nothing about how they did it or who it might hurt. So she made herself a promise to always keep her eye out to spot any of these pieces of work and shut down that game if it came her way real quick....fool her once, shame on you, fool her twice....shame on her. The family moved to Galveston Island a couple years back when her father found himself a better job there and she has definitely loved it there. Now it's senior year and she pretty much has picked out the players to keep personal tabs on them....any she has yet to encounter she's bound to sometime or another this year....senior year should definitely be an interesting one.

He was diagnosed with ADD at a young age. Though his father simply didn't like him, he suposedly was costing too much money for the family. According the cost for his medicine was costing too much, while his father sat on the couch and watched TV his mother worked at the local drug store. And when she came home late, there wasn't any supper because no one cooked. Matthew went through tough times trying to help out his mom. Though after a while, his mother got into drinking. She couldn't handel it anymore and tried to commit suicide more than once. His father finally started working at the local bar, he only started working there because he would screw the waitresses after work.

Years passed and nothing really exciting happen till he was 15, when he met his first girlfriend and first love. They dated for a little over year and he fell deeply in love with her. Everything was lovely and such until that night his felt like his whole world came to an end. That night, he found out the girl he loved was a liar. Their whole relationship was a fake in Boone's eyes. See, his girlfriend was turned out to be sleeping with a guy behind his back and the fact was she didn't give a flying crap about Boone. She dumped Boone for the other guy.
Totally heart broken, he soon turned to bottle as comfort. It became his best friend over the years. And he developed a drinking problem. He prefered booze over everything else.

Yep...he's been here his entire life and fortune would have it that he was born into money. His life hasn't exactly been a huge struggle like most people though his parents knew what it was like to not have anything and taught him that just because he had that good fortune that he should learn to mix with everyone and not lord over others that were less fortunate then himself....but blend in and treat everyone as an equal. And that is exactly how he has grown....making friends with ease and most people would never know he had any more money then anyone else. He discovered a love for the guitar early in life and has never lost that love. When he became a teenager, things got a little complicated because he found himself feeling a bit...confused. Part of him was saying he was into girls but then there was this little tug of attraction towards men that he found himself feeling. At first, he pushed it aside and got himself a girlfriend. That was a nice little emotional roller coaster alright....an on again/off again thing that lasted for a couple years....just before his sophomore year he had enough of the heartaches she kept continuously putting him through and like a complete moron he kept allowing to happen again by forgiving her and giving her another chance....if she wanted other guys, then she could have them cause he put the final nail in the coffin of their relationship the last time he caught her with another guy. ****** that....he could do better and it was then he finally allowed the growing attraction he had towards guys have free reign....his parents weren't too thrilled at first and really still aren't though they've come to accept it. And now he knows what happiness is that's for sure....to be who he really is and not have that guilt or sense of wrong doing anymore was great. Now he hasn't completely turned his back on the females....hey like the saying goes, "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't". Sure he still hurts from time to time when he thinks about the girl that broke his heart because he really did love her...but his guitar and hitting the occasional party do the trick in soothing that emotion. When life tosses a nasty curveball at you, you just had to take your best swing at it...sometimes you strike out and sometimes you knock that mofo out of the park....better then just standing there and watching it pass by wondering what might have happened, right?

History: It depends on what you'd consider tragic to tell if Roosevelt's background is or isn't. If you'd ask her, she'd tell there are worse things possible. But, that doesn't change the fact that her parents died in a car crash the year she began preschool. The news reached the school minutes after her parents' light blue mini-van plowed into the side of a tow truck. Roosevelt never returned to the McRyan family home. People thought it'd be too hard on the poor child. Her Aunt Karen, who was divorced pretty much since the day she got married, immediately took her in. Karen had no children. She lived a small life, and now Roosevelt was expected to lead one too. The two share a small two-bedroom apartment. She never hated what happened to her parents, but it would be a lie to say that she and Karen get along perfectly. In fact, many things were done just in spite of Karen's affections. However, it was a rebellious stupid stage, and the consequences are still being dealt with.
Personality: Slow. Steady. Purposeful. Roosevelt isn't rash in her decisions, even when it seems like she is the most out of control girl in the world. Because two years ago, she just might have been. Still, in the midst of the drinking, drugs, and relationships, Roosevelt made her moves with care and precision. If she was going to ruin her life, she wanted to do it perfect. Her therapist told her she had to deal with the issues over her parents' death, or she would ultimately self-destruct. This was after the binge of vodka and a rave in a field that is mostly one big messy blur in her mind. She woke up in the police station. It wasn't that this was her wake-up call, but the judge made it one for her. She is still doing community service, and she is watched around the clock to make sure she goes to classes and does her homework. She does only what needs to be done, including when it comes to socializing with others at school. More or less aloof when it comes to attachments, Roosevelt has not had one real 'friend' since middle school. Her love life is a string of meaningless men than are nothing more than occasional romps in bed. She takes pleasure in keeping people guessing. She's learned that with confusion people give up and don't bother trying with her. The scariest thing would be allowing someone 'real' to come into her life, because all the darkness is just below the surface waiting to take over her life again.

Editorial: Roosevelt finds the term 'player' to be hysterical, actually. All the games, the lies, the sex, it is all beautifully dramatic, and she finds pleasure in following the inner workings of the game. She doesn't like seeing people get hurt, but their tears are no less amusing.

Name: Jarrett Meyers
Age: 19
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Work - Jimmy Eat World
History: It really was no coincidence that Ryan Meyers and Rachel Hart met that fateful day near the lake on their youth group's camping trip. Ryan, the minister's son, was the perfect guy for the daughter of the church's most generous benefactors, the Harts. The two of them were only seventeen at the time, but everyone in the town of Bakersfield, Mississippi met their soulmate before graduation. Bakersfield could hardly be called a town. Everyone knew each other; everyone knew each other's secrets. A prominently Catholic town, marriages were a means of keeping the faith alive, or more secretly, the power. Ryan and Rachel did in fact fall in love, but for the wrong reasons, at least to their parents. Both harbored a silent resentment towards their religiously (and generally) stifling community. Although not agreeing with their families, Ryan and Rachel did love them. But love isn't always enough. Ryan and Rachel had their first child, Jarrett, about a year after they married. Jarrett regarded their town in the same light as his parents, but he lacked the discretion they'd exercised for so long. As time went on, Jarrett grew into a very independent individual, and needless to say, his grandparents weren't too fond of his desire to be unique. For Jarrett, it wasn't just something he wanted. He just was. He was just gay. There was no confusion, no question. He knew. When he was a freshmen in high school, his secret finally came out. Obviously, the entire town found out, and the Meyers's house was constantly visited by 'good-intentioned' parishioners hoping to reform their son. It was obvious that the town would never accept him. So the Meyers left. They relocated to Texas to obtain a fresh start. Jarrett, although only residing in Galveston for four years, always regarded it as his home.
Personality: Independence came naturally to Jarrett. In a town where he would never be fully accepted, even at a young age, he learned to rely and take care of himself. He wasn't completely left out in the cold; his parents loved and cared for him, but Jarrett always preferred to be self-sufficient. That isn't to say he shies away from his peers. Actually, Jarrett is popular with guys and girls alike. He came to terms with his sexuality a long time ago. There's nothing insecure about Jarrett Meyers. Of course, Jarrett has encountered his fair share of insults. Ordinarily, Jarrett doesn't have much of a temper, but when someone he cares about is in trouble, he has no problem protecting them. He has gone to great lengths to prove he's strong, and no one's about to question that reputation. Mostly, Jarrett is just a nice, sweet-tempered individual, but he's not about to take anything lying down. And that's meant in the figurative sense.
Editorial: They kind of amuse him, really. Speaking from a mature standpoint, they play the game because that's all they are capable of. Games. Immature games. Because they are immature, little boys.
Extra Curricular Activities: NHS, Student Government, Varsity Soccer
Crush: Upon entering high school, Jarrett's sexual orientation was practically common knowledge. Jarrett never went through that initial confusion in which he dated girls, soon discovering that there was absolutely no physical chemistry whatsoever. His love life began with Evan McCallister. They dated for most of freshmen year, but eventually, Jarrett broke it off. The reasons are still vague, and Jarrett's never bothered to clarify. Evan ended up transferring to a private school soon after, which served as excellent material to feed the rumor mill. Jarrett refused to elaborate, so basically, that portion of his history remains ambiguous. After that, Jarrett's love life was never really in the public eye, mostly because he dated guys outside of Ball High School. With a few flings here and there, Jarrett comes back to high school as a senior and a single man. There's a few guys that have caught his eye, but only one is really worth mentionin, and that's Ian Ellsworth. Jarrett has just happened to notice that he turns around only to find Ian looking at him, and on the rare occasions that they actually do make eye contact, Jarrett simply smiles and goes on his way, despite that nagging attraction to him. See, there's something about Ian that intrigues Jarrett. He doesn't really understand why Ian takes shit from people, notably the steroid-injected jocks Jarrett disagrees with occasionally. He's never actually seen them corner Ian. He's heard about it. But one day, Jarrett will be there.

Theme Song: -
History: Suposedly everything happens for a reason. Therefore, you learn some lessons the hard way, you learn from your mistakes. Its life, well Dee hates knowing that. When she was younger she remembers faint memories of moving all over the place in grade one and two. It wasn't fun for her. She knew something was up when they didn't move for two years. It was grade seven on May 23rd when she was in her huge hollywood mansion and sleeping in her cusioned princess bed in her huge room. Her mother got a phone call from a guy explaining why her dad wasn't coming home. Her dad was suposedly deep into a gang called the 'Shives'. The guy informed that they should move out of their house and leave the city, because her dad made a huge mistake and he went bankrupt pretty fast. Her mother was scared ****less and started packing her things up. She was also informed that her dad couldn't come home and that they would probably never see him again. When her mother told her that her daddy was gone it was the worst time of her life. Everything broke on that day in May, her family broke, her house broke, her visa card broke, her life broke. She didn't have anything as they moved. There she got into a group that having good clothes and looking perfect everyday was not an option. She had to lie about being rich when really, her mother and her were busting their ass to get some decient furniture in their house. Though she still lies, nothing has changed except the way she looks at life. Everything that you do could've changed by the way of your decisions.
Personality: Theres also a reason that the word 'Devil' is in her name. Her outside personality is hard-core and a world-class btch. She tries to show everyone that she's fine, she can be independant and not be sucked into lame, small things like peer-pressure. She doesn't make friend that easily. But really inside, she's breaking. Somethings happening to her, she doesn't want to share it, she's under to much pressure. Her life is spinning out of control, and she doesn' t like it. Lying to much can cause so much stress, its unbelivable.
Extra Curricular Activities She doesn't really have any. Maybe Sewing if you count that, she makes all her own clothes.
Editorial: She doesn't really like them. Though she wishes she was more carefree as they were. But other than that, she likes to keep her heart to herself.
Crush: Even though she's popular and people thinks she's rich. She could only end up getting some of the guys on the B+ list. Which always confused her. But when Mason Blackworth started flirting with her one day she was in heaven. So after a while they started dating, she's not exactly in the word "Love" but she thinks she likes him very very very much. Which very close to love. Even though he treats her like crap sometimes, she can't exactly leave him. He knows her dirty little secret.

Name: McKay Mitchellea's
Age: Nineteen
Grade:Senior
History:Supposedly everything happens for a reason. Therefore, you learn some lessons the hard way, you learn from your mistakes. Its life. When McKay and his kid sister Dee were younger he remembers moving all over the place in grade two and three. It happened often so both children knew something was up when they didn't move for two years. It was May 23rd when they were in their huge Hollywood mansion. McKay's mother got a phone call from a guy explaining why father wasn't coming home. He was supposedly deep into a gang called the 'Shives'. The guy informed that they should move out of their house and leave the city, because dad made a huge mistake and went bankrupt pretty fast. Mother was scared ****less and started packing her things up. The kids were also informed that dad couldn't come home and that they would probably never see him again. Of course McKay was in shock. It wasn't the loss of money. Everything broke on that day in May, family broke, house broke, visa card broke, life broke. That didn't strike him as much as it stroke his mother and sister though. It was finding out the involvement of his father in a gang. He knew a little about his father’s activities. Never talked about it with anyone. He just observed. And now his father had been caught!
But back to the move. They didn't have anything when they left. His mother and sister were upset about the new situation. Dee began lying about being rich and he didn't say anything to contradict her. He didn't think it was necessary to make her stop the little fantasy. As for him, his life is the usual thing. Attending that hellhole otherwise known as high school. Attending his part time job (her sister probably explains it as being one of his brothers "hobbies" or "eccentricities", who knows). Anyway, life wasn't meant to be candies and roses. But we all know how often it can be a real b!tch.
Personality: Irreverent and brash, McKay does not beat around the bush, and he has no problem to tell anyone the truth. He will say and do anything he pleases, with no worries about what the consequences might be. His acts can not always be considered completely conventional, as he is often oblivious to the rules, deliberately ignoring directions, knowing that there's no fun living that way. He has always been independent and isn't the type of person to need anything from anyone. He is a skeptical person who believes in living fast and going right to the point. If you want to take him home and introduce him to your parents beware, as you never know how he is going to behave. McKay can be a total jerk if you piss him off, which happens quite often matter of factly. But don't get me wrong. One false assumption people make is that he has no sense of humor. In fact, he does. He can crack a joke when he is in the mood, although some people would complain about it calling it an unnecessary display of sarcasm. He believes in making of yourself what you want to be. Thus, if you want sympathy, don't head to him because he's not going to be a shoulder to cry on. He doesn't take anyone too seriously, he prefers things clean cut and without the complications that emotions might bring. However, behind underneath all, there is a complete different side of him. Yet, no one ever sticks around long enough to see it.

Name: Blane Molinsky
Age:Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Autumn-13 Winters
History: If you were to ask Blane to tell you the story of his parents, how they met, how old they were, did they fall in love at first sight? He would not be able to answer any of these questions, because he has no idea. His very first memory does not include his parents. In fact he has no memory of a birthday party, or a trip to the bowling alley, a father/son picnic..or a mother/son dance. He has no memory of ever spending quality time with the two people who gave him life. He has no memory of their names, or their face, he does not even know what their voices sound like. Because he never met his parents. They gave him up at birth, but instead of giving him to people who would actually want him and take care of him, they put him up in an orphangage. And of course not too many people are willing to take care of a newborn baby, and as time goes on a infint is hard to take care of, or a pre-teen and of course you can not take care of any teenagers without knowing every little thing about what they have done in their life. For seventeen years of his life Blane was forced to share a room with three other boys who attempted to make his life a living hell. And it is not as if they were the same three boys every year. Of course not. Every week one of the boys would be moved out, find a family that wanted them and he'd never have to see them again, But surely enough as quickly as one moved out, a new one moved in. Blane wondered for years and years why he could never find anyone who was willing to put up with him. Finally on his eighteenth birthday he was kicked out of the one place he ever could call home. The orphanage could no longer keep him, he was a grown adult. They threw him out on the streets to find a way to fend for himself. Blane didn't know what to do or where to go, so he ended up finding a place to sleep on a park bench. Until one night a friend of his from school gave him a place to crash. Of course this friend's parents have no idea that Blane is sleeping in their basement, but its only for a short while until he can find a job and manage to get together enough money to find a place to live on his own. Personality:Blane has many reasons to be angry and hateful, afterall anyone who grows up thinking they were not wanted by anyone, and the one place that they felt they fit in tossed them out in the cold when they feel they are too old..well they have any right to be angry. Which is why the fact that Blane is not even close to angry, is such a shock. He does not believe there is really any point in keeping any anger bottled up inside of him, he sees it being useless. Blane is a quiet, loner. He does not care to open up to anyone, he perfers to be left alone in the darkest corner of the room. Sitting in the back of the classroom either sleeping or scribbling down notes in his notebook. Blane doesn't cause trouble, he doesn't care for it. He hardly ever speaks. There is only a few people who he will talk too. If someone who is not any of these people approches him, he'll just nod and walk away. He doesn't believe in meaningless conversations.

Name: Jagger Morrison
Age:Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song:Internal War -Unearth
History:It was Friday The 13th, The moon was full, not a single star in the sky. Off in the distance was the sound of at least ten to fifteen warewolfs howling, the earth was still. Well, all except for the slight rocking of the small volkswagon which rested near the end of the long cliff, just overlooking the entire town. It was the place most children were concieved. Of course none on this special day, mostly because most people assumed it would be bad luck. At least that's what Jagger always says when he is asked why he is the way he is. Weather is true or not doesn't matter, it always makes more sense to him to just say that his parents screwed on Friday The 13th, full moon above their heads, wolfs howling in the distance. What better way to explain yourself, anyways? Jagger was born into a life of so much rage and hatred that it's a shock he's not some serial killer. His parents desipse one another so much that he often lays awake in bed awaiting the sound of that gun shot, waiting to hear the sound of evil laughter from the one who had pulled the trigger, he silently prays it would be his mother pulling that trigger because at least then he would no longer have to deal with his fathers constant pressure to become someone he's not. Jagger's parents were not some stupid idiotic teenagers who were just out for a night of fun, when his mother became pregnant. They were both in their forties, his mother was forty five and his father was just turning forty. Neither one of them even liked each other. They both just went out on that fateful night because they wanted to get some, and clearly it had been too long for both. When they found out they were to have a child, together they decided being in your forties and raising a child alone is not healthy, so they got married. It is a shock that now eighteen years later, they are still alive and healthy. Jagger considers it to be a curse. His father is a big powerful all mighty lawyer who wants nothing more then his son to become his clone, while his mother is a stay at home mom who just insists that she wants Jagger to become something better then he is. She claims she doesnt care what he decicdes to do, and yet she still pushes him not to be a laywer and not to become his father. His parents fight more then anything else. Sometimes Jagger refuses to come home just so he does not have to hear the fighting, and not have to sit back and pretend it does not bother him. All he wants is for one of them to kill the other, and at least then he will be able to have some peace. He often considers just offing them both all by himself, but of course he's too young to spend life in prison. Maybe in another ten years or so he'll be ready to pull that trigger by himself. Or so he hopes.
Personality: There is one thing Jagger refuses to do, and that is pretend to be someone he's not. If he's happy, he's happy, if he's pissed off well..you'll know it. He walks the halls of this school everyday disgusted by the fact that no one is real. Jagger is not going to hold back anything. The last thing he wants is to become one of THEM. Which is probably why he is always so angry. He has quiet the temper on him. Growing up in a house of so much hatred should come as no shock that Jagger has never actually been seen smiling, Laughing..hell he may not have ever even cracked a single joke. Well, if he did it was proably dripping with sarcasm and bitterness. Jagger is the student you will see in the principals office on a daily basis, he's the one who is in detention everyday. Probably has detention everyday until graduation. He gets in fights at least a few times a week, usually over nothing. Just because he's angry and he has nothing better to do, so he decided to pick a fight with a random kid just to kill some time and keep him out of his house for that much longer. Pretty much all it takes is a HI to set him off sometimes, and he'll jump over the desk seperating him and his intended victim and strangle them. He really needs to consider anger managment.
Extra Curricular Activities:Detention. Is that one?
Editorial: Who do you think he gets in so much fights with? The PLAYERS are the ones who he hates the most. Just knowing how they take pride in crushing the hearts and souls of other people, just knowing that this is their idea of a good time..it makes him sick. All he wants to do is one day for one of them to get played and then know the pain they inflict on others. Of course in order for that to happen, that would mean they would have to have fallen in love, which involves having a heart. And clearly that is one of the things they lack.

Name: Eddie C. Murray
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: August 7 4:15
History: Ellen MacNamara and George Murray were your classic office affair. Ellen, his secretary, was half his age and Ellen looking to get ahead in the business was willing to do anything to please. Although, when she was thinking such a thing she didn't know George had a wife and three kids, all who were near Ellen's age. Their little office affair was going wonderfully, expensive dinners, more expensive gifts Ellen was in love. And she thought George was in love with her until she told him she was pregnant and then George suggested that she find a new position at another company. She had to find out through a fellow secretary about his little family waiting for him at home. Ellen had settled herself into raising her baby alone, when a month before little Eddie was born she received a check. And then about a week for Eddie's birth another check, both signed from George MacNamara's private bank account. They were enough to keep Ellen living in the life of luxury she had grown accustomed to when she had worked for him. Edward Christopher Murray was born, and Ellen proudly raised him as George Murray's 'other woman.' Eddie's always been ignored by his father, especially when his wife provided him with a son three months after Eddie's birth. Growing up, Ellen showered her son with enough love to make up for the lack of a father figure in Eddie's life. And things probably would've continued just fine, if Ellen hadn't been killed in a 'hit and run.' Eddie Murray was shipped off to live with father, and George had to confess his infidelity to his wife and four children. They hated little Eddie instantly, he destroyed his family. But how was a little seven year old boy supposed to understand that? All he knew was that, the people who were supposed to love him, didn't and it sucked growing up in the MacNamara house. Eddie hid his anger in an obsession with all things sports related. He was in a little league every season, working as hard as humanly possible to be the best because he wanted the MacNamaras to love him. But it just never happened, doesn't mean he's stopped trying.
Personality: Eddie's quite often mistaken for being labeled with things he isn't. People think he's mysterious because he's on the quieter side of things. And the stereotype only propels itself from mysterious to being arrogant and cocky; which also isn't true. Eddie's never been the mysterious type, he doesn't brood and he's too nice to be mysterious. He cares about people, and while people may not care about Eddie he's never aspired to being geniunely malicious. Easily frustrated, Eddie's always been the type to get things on the first try, and when he doesn't well... he gets a little flustered and works just that much harder to get what he wants. Perhaps it's some aftereffect of his traumatic experience with the MacNamara family but Eddie's always worked hard to make people proud -- by doing the right thing and trying to set the example even when he feels like pulling his hair out.

Name: Jeremy Myers
Age: 16
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: ...
History: Basically the same history as his brothers Preston and Lincoln....but as far as how things effected him, that is a story in itself.
He was the baby of the family. After his father left, his mother was working and basically Preston took care of him. Not to say, his mother wasn't there for him. When Jeremy expressed an interest in the piano at five, she started him on lessons. Lincoln took care of him in his own way, but Jeremy just was a lot closer to Preston growing up.
And after their mother passed away from the drunk driver, he just grew more attached to Preston. Jeremy was allowed to do his own thing for the most part. Even though money was tight, his older brother always made sure he had his piano lessons.
At 13, he started to write songs on his piano his mother had had for years. Preston always has made sure to get him the lessons he wants, even if the money is tight. He knows that Jeremy had a gift. Jeremy hopes one day of getting a scholarship to a top music performing art schools when he goes off to college.
Personality: Jeremy is somewhat shy, but not too shy where he hides away from people. People have picked on him, but then Preston has stepped in. He sometimes has a blushing problem when people say things that could make him do so. The shyness doesn't extend to his music though. He totally comes alive in front of his piano. There is this fire in his soul that comes out in his music. The death of his mother just fueled his passion more. The piano comforted him when she passed away. Even though, Preston is close to him...there is just something about the piano that soothes him the most. And it is part of who he is. He does have that Myers's temper in him, but it would take a lot to piss him off.

History: Preston Jakob Myers was born to Bradley and Elizabeth Myers in Houston along with his twin brother Lincoln one spring night. The small family lived there in fair comfort though both parents had to work to support themselves. Luckily they had at least waited until they had both gotten a college education. Things went well for a little over a year and then suddenly Bradley decided on straying and next thing that Elizabeth knew he'd taken off with some girl named Katrina and had filed for divorce under her nose. Being the proud woman she was, she refused to let it get to her even if she did hurt like hell. She had her two boys to look after....giving Bradly what he wanted and being done with that. Though he was too young to really have much of a thought on the situation besides wondering where daddy had gone, Preston grew to resent his father and to this day would like to see his father just one time for only one reason, to sock the SOB right square on the jaw one good time for ditching them for a bimbo. Not long after the divorce, the last bit that Bradley had to do with the family came around in the form of Preston's and Lincoln's little brother, Jeremy. The family soon moved to Galveston Island since Elizabeth had her mother and father there to help look after the kids when she was working. Preston took to being the "man" of the family in a way....watching out after his little brother Jeremy as the two had gotten to have a strong bond though his relationship through the years with Lincoln had become almost nothing as Lincoln seemed to get more distant and cold towards him and to this day he still wonders why. He had also come to befriend one of the neighborhood kids named Franklin Littrell and they formed a very strong bond that, as with Jeremy, just grew stronger over the years. Other then the ripples that came from Lincoln's coldness, life was about as good as it could get for them. On hitting his teen years Preston also discovered a little fact about himself in that he wasn't exactly drawn towards the other team....and being that he wasn't afraid to be who he was, never bothered to try hiding it...thankfully it went over well enough with his mother and all so he was doing great. Though it took a major turn for the worst when Preston was 16 when their mother was struck and killed by a drunk driver leaving Preston to pretty much care for his siblings. And when he thought that his life had hit it's lowest point, a few months later he came to learn he had leukemia...and went through the grueling treatments that left him almost thinking it would've been better to just kick the bucket...but he kept it in mind that Jeremy needed him and he had to be strong for him if not for himself and toughed it out. Now it's senior year and he is proud to be back in tip top shape to get through it.

Name: Jennifer “Jenny” Noon
Age: Eighteen (younger than Jesse by eleven minutes)
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: “Sunburn” by Muse
History: Jennifer Noon can still remember those hot summer nights where she would sit at her window staring out into the busy Las Vegas streets thanking the Lord for each night she had with her twin brother and two adoring parents that were never short of hugs, kisses, or bed time tales. For the first eight years of her life, there was no reason to suspect anything was wrong. If the drearily nostalgic tone of this prose piece all is any indication at all however, it’s that things did not remain perfect and melancholy for the Noons. Jonathon was a good man. He held a steady job managing his own restaurant and loved his wife and two children unconditionally. But Jonathon was occasionally reckless with money, and when the yearly finance figures came in, revenues proved inadequate. Jonathon had to make some quick cash and in true Vegas fashion, he found himself at the poker tables of one of the casino/hotels known for stealing souls on the strip. Jonathon was lucky. He made eleven grand in one night, but he didn’t know better to quit while he was ahead. The next time he returned, and the night after that, and the night after that. It wasn’t long before Jonathon had developed something of a gambling problem, and even quicker that the household finances were being compromised to make up for bad hands. That’s right around the time Jonathon met Eduardo Pasi, Las Vegas entrepreneur and underground loan shark. Long story short: Jonathon missed his payment date. Twice. Eduardo, an understanding family man himself let Jonathon off the first time with a warning. The second time he wasn’t as lucky. Jennifer still remembers being shook awake in the middle of the night by her twin brother Jesse and dragged to a nearby closet where they were told to hide. They never saw what happened to their father, but there mother hid out in their room as well and was shot in the back of the head before their eyes. Jesse covered Jennifer’s mouth with his hand to keep her from screaming. A minute later he ran out to hit the assailant in the back of the knee with a spatula. Jesse was smacked and knocked unconscious and Jennifer passed out in the closet. She woke up in the hospital an hour later. Jesse and Jennifer were taken in the care of Edna and George Walker, the former being the sister of their mother and moved to their small farm in Galveston the following day. The two dealt with the deaths of their parents separately: Jenny by alienating herself from her fellow peers and becoming more and more introverted every day, Jesse by stealing at random. The two were even signed up twice a week to see a child psychologist, but neither spoke of what they saw, and eventually they just stopped going all together. Ten years later it would appear the scars have all healed, but if anything, the two have just gotten better at covering everything up. Jenny’s just as reclusive as ever and talks only to Jesse and her aunt and uncle. She appears happy enough, albeit quiet. But the scars on her wrists, some fresh and some years old are the only indication that things are still very, very wrong. Just as Jenny’s gotten very good at repressing her feelings, she’s gotten creative in how to hide the scars as well, and not even Jesse knows the extent of her emotional devastation.
Personality: Jennifer Noon is victim to her introverted nature; always on the outside looking in and lacking the courage to knock on the door in hopes someone would let her in. Jenny is horribly unhappy, but she’s a mastermind of placating happiness when it’s called for. The smile she chokes behind leaves an empty feeling in the pit of her stomach that she’s grown so accustomed to with time, she hardly notices it anymore. Jenny’s so good an actress she can even convince herself she’s happy when she hasn’t known happiness in years. The homework and the books are her props and her brother is her biggest and most important audience, for she knows if she can fool him than she can fool anybody. Every night she prays for the courage to be able to speak up and ask for the help she needs. And every night she thinks of a new excuse to keep her mouth shut. Because she lives ignorantly for the expression that ‘if you say it enough to yourself, you’ll start believing it.’ Jenny wants nothing more than to get over her insecurities; she wants even more to smile and not feel like she’s faking every single centimeter that spreads.
Extra Curriculars: Jenny can play the piano, but that’s hardly an extra curricular activity offered at school. Other than that, there’s nothing.
Editorial: Jenny is completely oblivious to the philandering turmoil that’s taken it’s toll in the hallways of Ball High. She can recognize the basic cliché, but she couldn’t name a single card holder in the game if her life depended on it, which really doesn’t go to say much because she probably can’t name five people in her school, period, outside of her teachers and her brother.
Crush: Jennifer Noon’s more acquainted with the floor than she is of the faces that matriculate the halls of Ball High School. In fact, they’re so acquainted she could probably tell you how many cracks are in the sidewalk leading up to the front doors, and tiles are in each square block of hallway floor. So it’s probably a little far fetched to expect her to be able to name the person, let alone have a crush on them. So why is Samuel Chase so special? Realistically speaking, he’s not. Jenny’s heart doesn’t do laps in her stomach when he’s around. She doesn’t waste her time writing his name over and over inside notebook covers, surrounded in hearts and flowers. She just remembers his name. It might have something to do with the fact that they were in the same American History class together last year. Sitting in front of her helps. So does having a locker next to one another.

Name: Rona O'Callister
Age: eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: -
History: His parents are both very educational and political. So when he was growing up everything had to be passed by them. So when he was younger he was a perfect kid. He got very good grades and had good reviews from his teachers, they never had to tell him to be quiet or to settle down. He was a parents wet dream. But in his teen years things sort of changed for the worse, he was still getting exceptional grades and being very good in class. But when he'd go out with kids he would get into the drugs. All the pressure from his parents became too much for him and he started snorting coke. Coke is his biggest breakaway from his life. With coke he doesn't care who is president, who said this to who, if he even got in the 80's. He doesn't understand that while his friends are getting high 70's and they're proud of him, while he gets high 90's and he doesn't even get a good job. He only gets a "Maybe you should try getting a hundered next time, you've got to be perfect to be in this family". Perfect was a word he learnt to dispise. Being perfect was so far from what he really was. So it was quite expected that he would rebel. He started rebeling by shooting remarks to his parents and bringing his coke-head friends home. Then by snorting coke in his room, his parents couldn't take it so they sent him to his aunties (who only lives 2 streets down from his parents). There, he was much more relaxed about everything. He still snorts coke but it doesn't compare to how much he used to do it. Now since his aunty died he's back with his parents. He's only lived there for a week now.
Personality: If theres one word that describes Rona it would be Stubborn. He doesn't like people telling him what to do, he'd much rather be the one telling people what to do. So he's a bit naturally bossy. He likes pushing people around but doesn't do it that much. His biggest shock was when his long-term girlfriend was caught two-timing him. After that, it was more hate agaisnt anyone who wasn't his friend. If looks could kill, Rona would be sent to Death Row.
Editorial: He hates them, he knows what its like to get his heart broken so he dispises people that would do something like that.
Crush: His best friend is the notorious Janae Pollock. They actually met because she came over when they 14 and she played with his little brother all day long. After that, he was curious about her, then they clicked once they started talking. They've been best friends ever since. His next door neighbor is Claire Crossing and he's not blind to the moves that she puts on him. Sure, he'll do them back at some degree of flirting. But he's too much of an angry child to actual pay attention to being a real boyfriend. He couldn't even begin to imagine how bad of a boyfriend he would be.

Taken By: In Fair Verona
Name: Janae Pollock
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: "Analyze Me" - Tricky
History: There's a famous abstract expressionist named Jackson Pollock, he's a world reknown painter and makes millions simply by splattering paint onto a canvas. No, Janae is not his daughter and did not in any way receive any of the good fortune that resulted in accidentally spilling a bucket of paint. Janae would be the daughter of said painter's step-cousin. Unfortunately for her, her father left her and her mother when she was merely five, and the thought of being a part of the wealthy Pollock inheritance floated away. Janae still likes the last name, though. Ever since her father left, and no, it wasn't a big dramatized event with blow dryers being thrown and the like. Her parents were not affectionate at all and her mother was still holding on to her father for his money, however both lived a very dull life and when her father met Laquisha, a pole dancer from New Jersey, her mother was happy for him and allowed him to leave. Janae never thought Laquisha was much better than her mother, nor does she know how the Laquisha-Father thing ever worked out, but her guess is that it didn't. Janae grew up entirely under her mother, a decent working and progressive woman. Her father forgot that she even existed, aside from a phonecall on her eleventh birthday. Instead the men in her life were her mother's boyfriends, all from the workplace, all interchangeable. Eventually her mother's work and her mother's men had her wrapped up, with little time left for her blossoming teenage daughter. We all know how these things go, the parents neglect the child and child falls in with a bad crowd and becomes a member of the corrupted youth. Not quite. There never was a crowd with Janae. But she didn't have anybody to explain this whole sex situation to her, so when the first boy asked her to do it in the eighth grade, she did. She did it again, the second time was better and she soon found herself becoming fond of the act at an early age. Nobody would say she's a slut, though. They'd be more likely to call her a druggie, thanks to mother dearest, she also went wrong there.
Personality: Janae, under the influence of her parent's short-lived and detached marriage, has always been rather aloof. She was aloof to their situation and has been to everybody else's, it's actually pretty respectful. It's not that she doesn't give a damn, it's more that she doesn't feel the need to put her nose where it doesn't belong, though most people see her as shrewd and bitchy when she neglects to reply to them about what they should do about their love lives, or which tank top should they have bought. Her advice wouldn't be very productive anyway. People don't seem to realize she's not exactly a role model, though her grades are decent and little kids seem to have a magnetism towards her. Janae likes little kids, not in that weird Michael Jackson way. Janae, as dirty and misguided as she may be, has a weakness for all things adorable, which include little kids, kittens, puppies, butterflies, all those things that twelve-year-old girls like. Therefore if you are adorable, good-looking, hot, whatever, Janae will probably be friendly towards you, perhaps a little too friendly. If you're none of the above, then Janae will just ignore you.
Extra Curricular Activities: Theatre, and... Theatre.
Editorial: Janae doesn't have anything against the Players. She's had enough experience to know that men are horny, especially teenage boys, so their behavior isn't that surprising. In the end, it's up to the girl and if you're enough of a moron to get tricked by thinking you're in love, just to have your heart broken, and then kill yourself over it - go ahead, you're doing the world a favor and keeping the gene pool all nice and sparkly. Personally, Janae feels like she's able to take these boys for their physical worth, without getting emotionally attached. Whether the boys take that as a conquest or not is up to them.
Crush: Janae loves cute things, and boys are no exception. Janae has always hung around the likes of her best friend Rona, and people as eccentric as themselves, take Jagger Morrison, for instance. Although Janae prefers to stay out of people's affairs, messing with Jagger is so much fun, it's her little way of showing affection. Hugo Del Mar has the same addiction she does, and if she never needs a quick session, he'll be the one she goes too. Then there's Sage Cooper, because as much as Janae loves bad boys like Hugo and Jagger, a breath of fresh air is always nice and Sage is just too cute. Janae likes cute things.

Name: Cassidy Rhea
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
History: Cassidy's parents met in college. At the time Stacie was a freshman and Sebastian a junior. Both of them were carefree, laid back and got along really well in the beginning. Neither of them was ready for a long-term commitment, but the physical attraction was there. Then one of those common college parties came along, and, under the influence of an excessive amount of alcohol, Stacie and Sebastian did pretty much what you could consider an event taken out of one of those usual movies. Yes, the usual frat party. The one when the stars sleep together. Have sex. Go all the way. You get the point. It happened. In one of those rooms upstairs. Then came the morning after. There was no shock. No true regrets. Just a hell of a hangover. Truth be told they had been too drunk to remember much of anything. They saw each other a couple of times. afterwards There was physical attraction. There was fun involved but nothing too important to be considered significant. At some point they started seeing other people. They would have forgotten all about their little liaison if it hadn't been for one fact. Stacie began feeling sick one day. Then came the nausea. Then the lack of period. Then the suspicion. Then the confirmation. She tried to ignore it. Maybe it would go away that way. But a pregnancy can't go away.
Thus, at some point, she went to see Sebastian. And the fact of the matter was, Stacie didn't want the child. She wanted an abortion. Sebastian didn't agree.
Nine months later Stacie gave birth to Cassidy. She never saw the baby. She didn't saw the nurse carrying it out of the room. But Sebastian did. And the moment he laid eyes on the baby girl he knew it. He was going to raise his daughter. He knew it as soon as he carried her in his arms.
Personality: Cassidy isn't easy to label. In some ways she has had freedom, and in some others she hasn't. Living in a family of only two members lead Cassidy to see the world from a very particular point of view. She doesn't take high school too seriously, neither her social life. Sometimes, when she is present in a public place, she might take a seat in the back and spend time sketching what she sees around her. But don't draw false conclusion about her. Cassidy can be very social when she wants. It all depends on who you are and on her mood. Popularity and acceptance have never been the most important words in her dictionary, which is why she doesn't hide her opinions. If you ask her something and want an honest response, she won't beat around the bush. This fact can make her look hard and cold to some people, but she doesn't believe in sugarcoating anything. Cassidy has a skeptical nature even though she isn't always aware of it. She won't tell you how's she is truly feeling, however. She feels that her problems are her own and nobody else needs to know them or deal with them.

Name: Delia Richmond
Nickname: None
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: " Spellbound " by Siouxsie and the Banshees
History: "Some people are just born with tragedy in their blood," Gretchen Ross answered dully in the cult phenom Donnie Darko, though the question had been posed over a decade before by a tearful Patrick Richmond, after learning that his child had been stillborn and his wife would soon be awakening to the startling news of their loss. Echoes of one word could be heard before it had been spoken; simply, why? He could find no reason to justify it, as theirs was a marriage based on true love and adoration, not the power and money that led to his post as the Ambassador to Italy, where they had lived for the duration of their seven year relationship. There were no secrets or wrong doings that either he or Kate had committed, no atrocious acts of immorality that condoned their only child together being taken away from them. Seeing the distraught forming as Patrick thought of how to break the news to his wife, the priest who had given him the worst possible news went on to explain that another child had been born in the hospital only minutes before, whose mother could not have been saved from her fate and the baby girl was now orphaned, needing a family as much as they needed a child. Delia Anne was brought home two days later, his wife none the wiser to the exchange and their picture-perfect home life complete, nothing daring to change that for a full five years before Patrick was appointed to the post of Ambassador to Great Britain. Then, the collective downfall of a family was witnessed as week after week brought the wholesome American couple's marriage to shambles and something sinister integrated itself into their lives, finally culminating in the disastrous fall that took the life of Kate and the shooting of her father days afterward. She was immediately put in the care of the eldest brother of her father and his wife, living decadently off the family wealth brought in by Richmond Industries in Houston, Texas, both of whom prayed that the effects of such trauma would never be seen in the cherubic five-year-old. Now, as she prepares to rise to her full potential as an adult, she has been groomed for success in every possible way by the family that should have never been hers to begin with, rarely recalling what happened over the course of a few months in London when she was young and thinking of her foster family as rightful parents that sired her, unaware of where her mysterious origin truly lies.
Personality: Though tempting, It would be too easy to pin someone down to a few adjectives and expect to have them pegged, much less attempt it for someone of the same caliber as Delia. She seems to adapt to every situation she is put into to the extent that no one can quite decide whether or not what they're seeing is her real personality or just an extension of herself that betters her at that moment. Her work ethic is strong and if anything, she could be called determined, headstrong, tough, or any combination of the above when it comes to getting things done. Very few have attempted to wrong her and gone on to tell the story without some sort of revenge being exacted, whether the repercussions fit the situation accurately remains to be seen. For as hardened and tough she seems, she is as confused as her peers are about what the future holds and the past will mean in the long-run, though her reasons seem to be entirely different.
Extracurriculars: Student Body President, National Honors Society, Model United Nations.
Editorial: Delia seems much too refined and busied to pay attention to most of what happens at Ball High School, but she loves their childish games. Watching the total destruction of what a person held to be truth and then seeing how it reflects back on the person initiating the pain is more intriguing than anything else present in secondary schools. She would never lower herself enough to admit it, or to assosciate with the uncouth, though she quite loves to comfort the hoardes of crying girls and use their vulnerablity to her advantage to gain what she wants out of that situation.

Name: Lanie Rivers
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Song of Choice: "Dreamsome" by Shelby Lynne
History: There are many students attending GBHS that have extravagant family backgrounds, filled with lies, corruption, money, and sex. Lanie's background only includes one of those things...sex. The image of her parents hot in heavy in the back of a Chevy truck eighteen years ago isn't something she likes to think about, but it was how she was introduced to the world. Lanie was conceived to two rather boring people, Sheldon and Laura Rivers. They live in a small house. They aren't poor. They aren't rich. They own white cars. Nothing is colorful in the River household, even the food is bland. That isn't to say that Lanie doesn't appreciate the dullness sometimes, because atleast her father hasn't run off with his secretary. Lanie was raised to be a happy child by all of this, because she had no real reason to be angry. However, this is no longer the case. Lanie made the unfortunate mistake of agreeing to date Hadrian Del Mar at the beginning of her junior year of high school. It was probably a combination of hormones and that accent, but she regrets it. And after he broke her heart at the beginning of summer, she has every intention of one day killing the bastard. Then, she won't have to think about the fact that maybe she loved him a little, tiny, bit. That is before he destroyed her once happy demeanor.
Personality: Lanie is a bitch. Her tone is always dripping with anger, sarcasm, and downright rudeness. For the most part, she doesn't mean to be this way, but that doesn't change the fastly growing reputation following her around these days. According to the rumors, she likes to make little boys and girls cry. Obviously, it was not always like this. There was a point in time, when Lanie Rivers was indeed quite the happy, go-getter; hell, she even looked like a cheerleader. She was peppy and did everything a normal high school girl did, including shopping at the mall on Saturday afternoons. That has all changed now. Lanie is sorry to say that her bitter attitude toward everything is due to her painful break-up with whathisface. She tore up all his pictures and burned them in a firey pit of hell...in her backyard. Now, she is what most would call a bitter hag. She hates the male species, and does everything in her power to put them in their rightful place beneath her feet. Girls don't fair much better. She is even a little mean to old people, now. She was never a vacant blonde sitting around the lunch table, but now she has a little violence to go with that sharp tongue. She will argue anything to prove her point. Once you make her shit list, you will be on it forever. She knows she is being pig-headed, but she doesn't plan on doing anything about it anytime soon.

Name: Torrey Sanders
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Song of Choice: --
History: Torrey is a military brat. However, the dozens of relocations stopped when he reached his freshman year of high school. His father was injured during duty the year before and was talked into taking a position with the Texas Maritime Academy at Texas A&M Galveston University. Now the Sanders family actually has a home, with a fence and a dog named Sally, where all the boxes are unpacked and investments in the community are starting to develop. Torrey has a nine year-old younger sister whom he fondly refers to as Frankie, and she could also taken him on in a wrestling match anyday and kick his ass. His mother Brenda is a happy housewife. She keeps things tidy, fixes the lunches, and has dinner on the table by seven every single night. She isn't bored with her role as dutiful armpiece to Officer Kendall Sanders, because she loves her family far too much to ever think of anything else. Torrey's father, Kendall, is notorious for being strict and unforgiving, but he provides well for his family and his love is obvious for each of them. He is gone periodically throughout the summer with the academy's cruises, and his one dream is that Torrey will follow in his footsteps. Yes, the Sanders are amazingly boring and into each others' business a little too much. Family vacations and outings usually end up with Torrey's mother crying over spoiled food and Kendall grumbling about never driving three days to the Grand Canyon, or any other place they decided to take the RV that year. It isn't a happy facade covering something more sinister, the Sanders really are this sickeningly normal.
Personality: Torrey is a little eccentric, or rather, that is the word he likes to use. The students at Galveston Ball HS would bluntly associate the name Torrey with the word dork, and depending on who you are asking, this could also be followed by several other negative curse words. Torrey doesn't understand it. He personally doesn't consider himself so bad. He has nice hair. His acne cleared up two years ago, and that weird voice-squeaking thing stopped...finally. He even pushed for contacts last Christmas. Moving from school to school, he got used to never having friends. He didn't have time to make them. However, he has been at GBHS for four years and his status as the class dork/nerd hasn't changed, nor does it look like it will anytime soon. He is the same guy whose clothes were stolen during gym class and had to spend the rest of the day in a foul smelling GBHS basketball uniform from the '80s. For the most part, he attempts to accept his status. He doesn't stand up for himself. He just tries to keep on the good side of people who want to hurt him for no reason whatsoever, and they tend to try every single day. These people are a fair mix of the baseball and football teams, and occasionally the cheerleaders. Since he is black-listed, the normal people don't talk to him either. He is the type to ruin your reputation just being seen breathing the same air. This puts a huge damper on a young man's love and sex life, and both things are equally non-existent. All this means is that he is ripe with repressed sexual urges, so it will be a sight to see when Torrey Sanders is no longer the last male virgin at GBHS. In other words, watch out ladies.
Extra Curricular Activities: Quiz Bowl, National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta
Editorial: They are having sex. He looks up to them in an odd way. He is also scared of them, because these are usually the same guys who are running him around the flag football field with the intent to kill.

Name: Hayden Scott
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song:
History: If you took a quick look at the Scotts’ family history, you’d be curious to know how Hayden and his mother Julia came to live in a cramped apartment on Galveston Island when they bore the pedigree name of Scott and were in fact millionaires. In truth, it’s not all that simple. Many different turns of events led them to where they are today. Before Hayden was born, Julia was the typical rich girl, oppressed by traditional parents who still believed in the etiquette of high society and prohibited her from experiencing adolescence in any way. Naturally, Julia rebelled like any normal rich brat and she herself became a player. All would’ve been fine if it was that simple. Julia could have slept her way up to graduation and spent the rest of her life living off the family name, but something happened. Hayden happened. After a carefree one night stand with the school quarterback, she found herself pregnant at the age of 16. Her parents, already exasperated with her alcoholic tendencies and embarrassing midnight arrests, disowned her immediately and sent her packing. Julia had the option to put Hayden in a foster home, but somehow chose not to and decided for both of their sakes to get better and stay sober. The pair went through several tumultuous periods but, akin to something along the lines of those midday dramas based on a ‘true story’, they stuck together and somehow, got through it all. They’ve only moved into their new apartment on Galveston Island a month ago.
Personality: If you’d grouped all of high school’s stereotypes into one room, Hayden would be the brooding loner standing in the corner of the room who looked as if he sold organs on the black market. But since stereotypes are so constricting, it wouldn’t be an accurate depiction. Hayden is in truth, just shy and introverted. Having been transplanted from school to school over the past few years, Hayden is a little…socially awkward. Aware of this, Hayden just tends to observe the bizarre activities and rituals of the student body with amused reluctance. Once you get past the aloof personality, Hayden is just an overall nice guy, albeit a smartass with too much to think about. Being an acute observer of his surroundings, Hayden’s perceptiveness makes him easy to adapt to situations and open minded to people around him. Despite being a ‘nice’ guy, Hayden has a pretty strange sense of morals which only undermines any social progress he’s made with friends…looks like he can sell your lung for you after all.
Extra Curricular Activities: Band, Photography, Yearbook
Editorial: Being new, Hayden’s never really seen or experienced what’s happening first hand but he’s seen hints of the bizarre player ‘movement’ going on at Ball High School, the little flirtatious exchanges between students, the almost predatory tension in the air… Hayden doesn’t really care, but he’s cautious not to get in the way.
Crush: Having been uprooted from place to place, Hayden finds the whole concept of getting involved...complicated. But now that he's finally settled down in Galveston, he's now got the time to focus on things like school and life and of course, the ladies. Romance has never fazed Hayden too much but ever since he first caught a look at Hope Daguerre in the hallway, any so called confidence he haboured about dealing with the opposite sex kind of flew out of the window. He's not sure what unhinges him so much about her but it's the sight of Hope that turns him into even more of a wreck than he usually is. On the darker side of the spectrum, Abi Summers...intrigues him to say the least. It's the look of mischief in her eye that always draws him in. It's common knowledge that she's one of them and he's smart enough to know that she plays a dangerous game but he's not so sure if that can keep him away.

Age: 17

Theme Song: "6 Underground" by Sneaker Pimps
History: Isabelle Elena Soto was born to Carlos and Norma Soto in Dallas, Texas. Not the only child born that night, she was the second oldest. Her twin brother Mateo was born two minutes before. The next few years, the family added a couple more children to the family, Devante three years later, and Amelia six years later.
Growing up, Isabelle had a fairly adjusted childhood till she turned eight. That was when everything changed for her. The innocence that she once knew was taken away. One day while over at a neighbor's house, the father of Isabelle's friend molested her. The years that followed were hard on her. She started to move into herself. Not even her brother Mateo could reach her.
Two years had passed and Isabelle had changed to a different person. Cold, distanct at such a young age...her mother hopes maybe with a move that maybe that would help. So her father accepted a new job in Galveston Island, hoping to make things better with her job.
For years, she was in the therpy...but that didn't seem to help. At the age of 14, she up and stopped going. It wasn't as if she was depressed. It was that she thought she didn't need it anymore. Her parents agreed to let her do what she wanted. They knew she was different than most.
Yeah, she was different...but not in ways they thought she was. She had always known that she wasn't like most girls. So, when she came to the age of being let to date around 14...when boys asked her out, she accepted, but then it just didn't feel right. Especially when they tried to kiss her. She realized shortly after that maybe because she wasn't into the kisses and the boys so much...well was because she was attracted to other females. She knew that she was gay.
First, she came out to Mateo. Then her folks. They were surprisingly supportive. Then after that, she came out to the rest of the world. It didn't matter what they thought of her. She was who she was and nobody was going to change that.
Personality: Queen bitch comes to mind. She isn't one to take lightly. She either likes you and is blunt. Sarcastic...if you bore her, she'll leave you in mid conversation and if you ask where she is going, she'll tell you do the world a favor and kill yourself. Though at times she can be nice, but she sees most of the time there is no use in being nice to anybody. She'll talk to you, but be nice at first, but if you annoy it, she won't be pretty. She cut right into you to the point of making you cry. But keep in mind she can be a manipalative little wench. And oh if you back stab her, pay back is a bitch and she happens to be it.
But behind that is a heart little girl. She masks her true feelings to protect herself.
Extra Curricular Activities: She works part time at a local music store.
Editorial: Oh please, give me a break. It is bad enough her brother thinks he is one. If half the girls knew how much of a goof ball was in private, they'd run the other way. He plays it off cool and uses the whole class clown thing as his pick up routine. As far as the others, like it matters what she thinks. They are gonna end up with some sort of STD some day. It isn't right to play girls like that, but who gives a rat's @ss. They are the dumb @sses to fall for their lines. And as far as she is concerned, good luck getting through her force field. So they can go try to play their games with somebody else. Guys don't exactly do it for her.

Name: Janelle Sutton
Age: 19
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Arsenal - kidneythieves
History: Raised voices, slamming doors, the sound of tires screeching out of the driveway never to return. Janelle imagined all of this would precede her parents' divorce. As a morbid pessimist, Janelle expected the worst, which could only mean the bitter estrangement of her parents. What surprised her was the disturbing tranquility and civility involved in the separation. There were no sounds of heavy objects shattering against the wall, or bags being hastily packed. Janelle simply entered her home one afternoon, briefly noting the absence of her mother's prized, sickening collection of china plates, but more significantly, she saw the blank, accepting look on her father's face. Words weren't necessary. Janelle always had an idea of what was going on between her parents. Dinner was eerily tense, as forced conversation barely flowed between her parents. Nights out became more infrequent. Janelle would have preferred a giant fight, just to put an end to it all, and in random bursts of outrage, she voiced her opinion to her parents. The tension ended, not with an emotional climax, but a silent resolution. Even now that they are divorced, Janelle still finds something to complain about. Outsiders shake their heads, commenting about what a shame that such a marriage had ended. Janelle adds, with disturbing apathy, it was a shame they drug it on so long. So sums up Janelle's past and attitude.
Personality: As someone who dwells on that past, Janelle finds difficulty in finding anything happy or good in life. The world is full of phonies and hypocrites. Holden Caulfield couldn't put it any simpler. Janelle is just another cynic, just another girl to label as depressed. Janelle sees cynicism as the only realistic philosophy. There's only one problem. She doesn't apply it to herself. She is the quintessential exception to her rigid beliefs. The warped thing about it is she really is a selfish hypocrite. She's no different from anyone else, as much as she tries to be. Her resistance to conform is honestly futile in the end, as is everyone else's. Everyone conforms, or else you'd see an uprising of nudists walking through the halls. So really, there's nothing special about Janelle Sutton. She'll tell you she's different, tortured, whatever. She's just disillusioned, but no one has the guts to tell her. Or the time. Or the desire. It really benefits no one to blatantly tell the truth to Janelle. So she'll just go on her warped little way, thinking she's better than everyone until she ends up knitting with seven cats in a flat smelling strongly of cabbage.
Extra Curricular Activities: Janelle counts telling people they just freaking suck as an activity. It's a courtesy to the world, right? What she does is freelance volunteer work.
Editorial: If the whole world is simply screwed up and fake, the players have to be the cream of the crop. She has never encountered anyone so fake or warped, probably because she has never looked in a mirror. Ahem.
Crush: If asked, Janelle would simply say that no one in high school (or the world) meets her requirements. She has absolutely no attraction to a single person in the school: male or female, old or young, whatever. Although Janelle would like to believe she's superior, she's just another silly girl who has fallen victim to her emotions. She doesn't trip over her words when she's around him or anything. Actually, she avoids him it all costs in case she does happen to lose some of her composure. She can't really understand it, but she has some weird attraction to Torrey Sanders. She first saw him calmly retrieving his boxers from one of the trees in the courtyard, and she's been a bit intrigued by him since. But of course, he's just another...um...hypocrite.

Name: Sophia Teagan
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
Theme Song: Grow Up - Simple Plan
History: Andrew Teagan and Elisabeth Montana met by chance, at a college party thrown by a mutual friend. Elisabeth came with a date she'd rather forget and after losing her date she ran into Andrew sitting outside playing with the dog. She thought he was simply adorable and told him as much, which at the least caught Andrew off guard. The comment sparked a conversation about how they were both roped into coming to the party and decided to leave, together. They went for a meal at T.G.I. Friday's and when the meal was over and they should have parted ways, they decided to go to the park and just talk. And so they did from six in the evening until two in the morning; they talked about everything. They were married four months later, against the protests of friends who claimed that nineteen was too young to get married. They ignored them and a year and two months after that little Alexander Joseph Teagan was born. He was Andrew and Elisabeth's pride and joy, a perfect student and talented athletically. Sixteen years later, when most parents have realized that there will be no other children, Sophia Justine Teagan was born. By the time Sophie was learning her ABCs, Alex was trying to figure out his major in college. Needless to say Sophia never really had the brotherly experience of most kids, who fondly recall hanging out with or being beat up by their brother. She sees her brother a few times a year, around major holidays because he's busy with his own wife and kids. Kids who are only a few years younger than their Aunt Sophie.
Personality: To cut to the point there are two sides to Sophie's character, the realist side that knows the world isn't all rainbows and unicorns and then there's the side that you want to take home and make your best friend because she's just so adorable. If you were to simply judge her on her realistic side, you probably wouldn't want to be her friend. Sophie's well practiced in the art of sarcasm, and has mastered the art of scowling at the idiots who walk the halls of Ball High School. If you wrote her off as the bitter girl in the corner of the class, you'd miss out on the opportunity to get to know an amazing person. Armed with an altruistic nature that's warm and welcoming, if you take the chance and talk to Sophie you see the other side to her character. With a humble and kind character, Sophia generally puts other before herself. As a little girl, Sophie was that girl who talked to the kids who sat alone at lunch, and it was never a one-time deal with Sophie. She'll crack a joke if it means it'll make you smile, although if you laugh at her joke it's more because of how corny she really is than it's content. But despite her corniness, Sophia's the type of girl who you'd love to be friends with.
Extra Curricular Activities: Students Against Drunk Driving. Students Against Animal Cruelty. Senior Class Representative in Student Council.
Editorial: To be concise as possible, Sophie tries to ignore them as best possible because it's really not her problem. If a guy wants to emotionally scar a girl for the rest of her teenage years or y'know add one more to the bitter bitch list -- go ahead it'll be their slashed tires later. Just so long as they keep out of Sophie's way it's all gravy, baby.

Name: Vincent Tressler
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior
History: Vincent was born to Chelsea and Brad Tressler. The relationship in which he was conceived was not conventional however. You'll see, Chelsea fell in love with Stephen Keller when she was still in high school. And so she started the first "true" relationship of her life. Although some would argue it was also a healthy one. But, whatever. Parents never understand their kids anyway. And that wouldn't interfere with their wedding plans. Not when real love was involved. Even though they were just eighteen years old. But if you are supposed to find your other half, your soulmate or your life partner when you are still young you should hold on to it while it lasts because you never know when it might end. Stephen died in a car accident the night of their high school graduation. After the fatality Chelsea was never the same girl again. She became involved in drugs. In college she tried it all, cocaine, heroine, X, everything. One night she overdosed and almost died. Her roommate found her lying unconscious on the bathroom's floor and took her to the hospital. She was sent to rehab and was in it for several months. In there she met Brad Tressler, who was spending time in the institution due to his drinking problem. Maybe it was the confinement, maybe it was the long therapy sessions, maybe it was simply because they were hormonal. The fact of the matter was, they got involved with each other, and you know how one thing leads to the other. And another, and another. Especially at night. And then Chelsea was pregnant. And then both of them were out of rehab. And they moved in together. And... wait. Did they live happily ever after?
Do you seriously still watch Disney movies ala Freaky Friday and such? Is Lindsay Lohan your favorite actress in the whole wide world? Well. Vincent probably would like to switch bodies with someone out of his home. Nothing is just candies and roses in the Tressler household. It might have been in the beginning but it hasn't been like that for a very long time. Maybe that makes Vincent spend a lot of time out of home of maybe he just likes that bike of his too much.
Personality: Vincent, Vincent, Vincent. Is there a specific way to explain good old Vinnie's personality? There is Vincent. Then there is his motorcycle. Vincent and his bike. His bike and Vincent. Vincent and his dark clothes too. Vincent not exactly being the center of attention in school. But there are too many popular guys in there anyway. And they are so overrated. I mean, Vincent has his little eccentricities. Yes. He likes to wear black eyeliner sometimes. Sometimes he might paint his nails using color black. But hey, who says he isn't also a bit of a Dony Darko. No, wait. Vincent doesn't see giant rabbits walking around. Maybe there are some giant rodents here and there, like raccoons and such. Not everybody sees them unless they pay real attention. Shh. But rabbits? Come on. Anyhow, Vincent likes his bike. Oh, and there is his camera too. Taking photographs is a little bit more than a hobby to him. And his photographs aren't exactly what you would usually expect to see.
Extra Curricular Activities: Yearbook Staff. Yes! Vinnie is taking photographs this year. Oh, joy.
Editorial: Uh, a blank look would probably come this way if you ask Vincent about players. Some people like to take photographs, some people like to ***** other people around. Some people don't like you just because. There is a lot of different people in this strange little *****ed up world. Don't go around asking people whether they liked them or not. Unless you really want to deal with the answers.

Name: Skye Bridges
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: This is optional
History:Life is all about making something of yourself, its about making those you grew up with jealous. Life is about growing up to become the one person no one ever thought you could be, its about becoming famous, making a name for yourself. Changing the entire world. Well..at least those are the words that have been drilled into Skye's head since she was four years old. Her mother, Adrianna Wellman was a struggling musician all through high school. She has played just about every instrument and she had one goal in life and that was to become something of herself. It was the one thing she ever wanted. When she was seventeen years old she moved out of her house in Boston and went right to LA. While in LA she attempted to become something. She played in small coffee shops and even a few bars, yet nothing big seemed to happen. Until one night she was playing at a bar, she was unaware that one of the people out in the audience happened to work for a record label. After her show he came up to her, introduced himself as Michael. He told her he was the founder of a new, small label who was looking for their first cilent. He went on to explain to her how much he enjoyed her show, and gave her his card. She called him the next day. As time went on Michael and Adrianna continued to work side by side at trying to get her out there and get her known. Of course neither one of them realized they were spending far too much money. Eventually they went too far and ended up going bankrupt. They both walked their seprate ways, but neither one realized the sparks had been flying. Two days after saying their goodbyes they ran into each other at a bar. Both were getting wasted over the loss of their careers, and one thing led to another and they woke up side by side in a cheap motel room. Michael said his goodbye to her that morning, and took off. Leaving her eighteen and pregnant.
Pretty much her entire life Skye has had two things drilled into her head. One being..men are scum and the other being music is life. Music is the air you breath and music is the only thing you're good at. Skye has spent her entire life trying to convince her mother that she is not her. That she is not stupid enough to move off to LA and attempt to become something huge and that she is not dump enough to screw some random guy and end up like her. Pregnant and alone. Of course her mother will have none of it. She continues to attempt to convince Skye that if she doesn't persue music, then she is going to die a helpless old maid with ten cats and no money in her wallet. She tries to make everyone believe that music means nothing to her that she hates music, but the truth is music is who she is. She's a lot like her mother in that way, but she won't admit it. Because the thought of turning out like her mother scares her too much.
Personality: Skye is not one of the people who you will see as the head cheerleader, you also won't be seeing her sitting in the back of the room dressed in black drawing daggers through the eyes of her teachers on her desk. Skye is actually a nice girl once you get past her rough exterior. Sometimes she may come off as cold, and she can be. Especially to those people that have everything come easy to them. She hates those brats who have no fears and who's lives come easy to them. She hates to walk into a classroom and see the brains get another paper with an A on it, she hates walking down the hall and seeing a girl with a 500 dollar purse, she pretty much only likes people who have to work as hard as she does just to get ahead in life. She stuides when she has too, but she does not care for her schoolwork. Skye is not the kind of girl some people wish to take the time and effort to approch, mostly because they know she will bite their heads off if they say one thing she does not like. The worse mistake anyone can make is to try to tell her what to do. Then you are asking for it.

Theme Song: -
History: They were a rich family. Her dad owned a string of hotel chains while her mother was a lawyer. They lived in a quiet little town just on the outskirts of Detroit. Bridget had friends right when she was three years old. But still, the difference of money sometimes came in the way of true friendships. There was a big difference between the wealth of her and her family then the wealth of her neighbors, or her friends, or even her teachers. She got bugged alot in Middle School, being labeled as the 'rich kid' wasn't exactly the nicest thing to be labeled when being rich was 'out'. But when she turned 14 she just didn't care and lived up to being the 'rich btch.' Though it wasn't her from the beginning, it became her. She was the one coming in with a new Louis Vitton bag every month. Showing off her money with the necklaces on her neck and the skirts that stop at mid-thigh. She just didn't care what people thought of her anymore. That people also included her very over-portective parents. After a while she grew to loathe them, all the things they did were just so..lame. She wanted to be free and have the ability to do anything you would ever want to. She wasn't exactly a bad kid, she never had a bunch of sex, she never did drugs, she barely drank. The problem was, she just wouldn't come home. She hated being home, home was like prison for her. Who would want to go back there when you just here bickering and fighting between everyone. It wasn't a healthy enviroment, so she slept anywhere she would want. Though her parents still wnated control over her, they moved when she was 16. Now she's in this school, quite the same.
Personality: Well since she was a nice and innocent angel when she was little, she still has that in her. Though she was ruthless and competitive when she was back in her little town. When she moved, her parents were right, her attitude began to change. She was still cold on the outside, but she was also more deep and insecure. There were so many pretty people at this place it made her think she was completley ugly. Though she keeps her insecurities and her thoughts inside her head, its hard not having someone to tell everything to. She just wants to go and latch herself onto someone. Thats a problem according to her parents.
Extra Curricular Activities: Singing. Though she doesn't show anyone, she loves to sing and write music. Its the one way to get away and the one thing she's actually good at.
Editorial: She finds them interesting people. Though she couldn't put herself to do the things they do. She almost wants to latch onto one and make him forget his evil ways and stay for her. But thats her 'Happily Ever After' thoughts.

Name: Sage Cooper
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
History: Erina and Angus McFaden were a couple of Irish immigrants who came to America with a lot of dreams and no money in their pockets. Angus was in no way, a man of no vision and lack of determination. He had seen and faced too many calamities in his life so he had all the necessary impulse to succeed. Of course, there were many times when there was no food at home. Thus, Erina and her four daughters could do nothing except curse their luck, but never in front of Angus. He spent too many hours out of home working like a damned, yet, he always appeared in front of his daughters with a smile and his eternal optimism.
The bad times eventually went away, there was food on the table, warm clothes to wear, and soon after, nice schools to attend. Thus, the youngest McFaddens soon forgot their past bad luck.
Katrina was the youngest of the four girls and the most naive. Nobody suspected her teenage pregnancy until it was too notorious to keep it hidden. That's how Angus found out all about her daughter's little affair. He also got a name (Bruce) and an address. He went to Bruce's house, entered, and introduced himself directing a gun towards Bruce's head. That's how he got a promise from Bruce to marry Katrina.
Three weeks later they got married. It was a nice ceremony with a great party afterwards.
Seven months later Katrina gave birth to his son, Sage. He was still learning to walk when he witnessed his father's first outburst. Apparently, Bruce had a fancy for the bottle and didn't bothered to hide it in presence of his wife and child. Oh, no. Sage would learn a lot about his father's habit in the years to come.
Personality: Trying to pinpoint the person that Sage is would be somewhat difficult considering the fact that his personality varies a lot. Yes, Sage breathes and lives theater and that’s’ the reason why he can be whoever he wants. Today he is Napoleon, all confident and reckless. Tomorrow he is Hamlet, vengeful and unpredictable. The next day, he might be Paris, full of passion yet too coward to face a true battle. The other day he might be Ed Wood with a fancy for women’s clothes. And after that? Who knows.
All there is to know is his passion. Acting. Although when it comes to his true persona, the Sage out of stage, the one walking down the streets, you won’t know for sure. Not too many people know him that much. You could even wonder whether the closest people to him do. Whether his best friend does. You can't get to the bottom of Sage in a few minutes. Sage is like a chameleon, he can change his true colors and blend with the crowd. Or perhaps he is just hiding what a regular person he is. Just like the boy next door.
Some day, however, he will be in Broadway. Yes, Sage's dreams are far from a fancy office in the most successful company in town. He still an idealist and perhaps too much of a dreamer for his own good. He should know by know how to be realistic. Or perhaps he does know and that's why his own life is the biggest stage of all.
Extra Curricular Activities: Theater.

Name: Isobel Deprez
Nicknames: --
Age: Sixteen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: “Who Knows?” by Avril Lavigne
History:The Deprez woman were always woman of exuberant, everlasting beauty that was so alluring it could be fatal. At least that’s what Isobel’s mother Eleanor used to always say. For thirteen blissful years, Isobel knew little hardship’ her world shielded with rose tinted stain glass by a selfish mother who wanted her daughter to see the world so long as she could designate what exactly it was her daughter saw. It didn’t matter that Isobel’s father had disappeared from the picture before a snapshot had even been taken. Isobel had her mother, and together they were Amazons, and impervious to daggers wielded by the outside world. Invincible. Or so Isobel thought. Isobel still remembers the day her mother was driven off in hand cuffs in the back of a state patrol car. “72 hours! They can only hold me for 72 hours at most, Isobel!” turned into a 30 years prison sentence for manslaughter; the punishment for a woman scorned’s tyranny and vigilantism. Isobel was placed in the Texas State’s custody and she became a ward to all those who could have children so long as they were paid for and given shelter. Isobel’s been in the foster care system for just three years, but in that span of time she’s lived in seven different homes, partaken in three different religious customs (Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism), witnessed life altering events that in turn contributed to her current outlook on life, and discovered love through the people who in turn loved her unconditionally. With her mother’s tyrannical noose locked behind bars, Isobel evolved through a newfound independence and worldly knowledge. Having experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly has made her just as strong as she is weary. And the sentimentalist in her takes a piece of each family she’s been a part of, incorporates it into her look or personality, and is forever remembered in spite of the stigma attached. Currently she lives with an atheistic family with two other foster kids. She’s been a “resident” of the Galveston Island area for roughly a year-and-a-half now.
Personality: Don’t let the chains, the pant straps, dog collars, dark colors, or Emily the Strange memorabilia mislead you, Isobel is far from being a “mean” or scary person. In fact, it’s her genuinely inquisitive and candid personality that’s proven to be both a strength and an equally contrasting weak quality. Isobel trusts openly, perhaps a little too openly, for she’s been imbedded with a childlike naivety that refuses to see anything purely malicious in the world. People, situations, the general balance of the universe, there’s an inherent goodness planted in the foundation of everything. If things just play through naturally, everything will work itself out in the end. This kind of epitomized optimism probably isn’t the best mindset to adopt, but without it Isobel doubts she would have made it through the last three years. She’s not an overwhelming ball of bubliness and she’s certainly not a spokesperson for the sunshine committee; Isabel’s faithful optimism is more personal. She doesn’t expect everyone to uphold it, or even understand it. And her encounters with different people have bestowed her with perhaps more worldly wisdom that’s unconventional to people in general, let alone a sixteen-year-old girl. But Isobel has been through a lot. The good, the bad, and the ugly: she’s discovered it takes too much energy to bitch about every little curve ball life sends you. Not to mention life is too short. Isobel lives for the moment and she takes nothing for granted.
Extra Curriculars: Student counsel representative, national honor society, BHTV current events reporter, and drama club.
Editorial: Isobel tries not to think about it. It would only lead to an inner psyche analysis, and quite frankly, there’s no point in delving deep into the dark center of someone’s mind to try and figure them out unless you’re getting paid to do it. And while we’re on the topic of frankness, Isobel doesn’t want to comprehend why anyone would go out of there way to intentionally hurt someone.
Crush: Isobel’s far from upholding the prudish badge of honor and is considered somewhat crazy when it comes to how much she’ll muse over a crush. The problem is, she still can’t get over her infatuation of Devon Sawa, which started with Casper and was cemented later on with SLC Punk. There was also a phase when Isobel wouldn’t shut up about Nicholas Brendon, and it got to the point where here two best friends threatened to perform an exorcism because of it. Obviously, you can see a trend here, and if you’re thinking Isobel uses unattainable celebrities to let out her gushing muses to mask any feelings for a real person she might have, you’d be absolutely right. Because there is someone, and Isobel’s so far in denial she’s deep in the Amazon rainforest. But she’s very good. If her friends suspect anything, they’ve kept their mouths shut, and she even has a “scapegoat” crush she’ll gush over to deter any attention from the true culprit who she fears would steal her heart and chop it into ittie biitie pieces. Whenever her friends start to tease her, she immediately turns the conversation onto Blane Molinsky, who’s intriguing in his own right, even if her heart doesn’t flutter as much as it does for that who shall continue to go unnamed as she still refuses to allow herself to believe she wants him.

Taken By: In Fair Verona
Name: Adelaide Epstein
Age: Sixteen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: "Paper Doll" - Rachael Yamagata
History: "Arranged marriages are the only ones left that don't result in a divorce." Nana Epstein would say at the dinner table as she handed somebody the Matzoh Balls, "And look at how well my baby and Yesmina are, they have a perfect marriage!" She'd add with a 'humph' before digging into a good kosher meal. Her "baby" was Adelaide's dad, a pediatrician named Joel Epstein. Yesmina was Adelaide's mother, a plump housewife at five feet, one inch. The two had an arranged marriage, set up by Nana Epstein and a family friend. Adelaide's just thankful her parents weren't in any way related. The funny thing is that as loony as her grandmother sounded, there was some truth in what she said. The Epsteins had a perfect relationship. Her mother explained to Adelaide the reason why, and it was her favorite bedtime story as a little girl. At first when Joel and Yesmina heard about their arranged marriage, they hated each other. They plotted to get out of it but in a bizarre series of events ended up locked in a bathroom for eight hours - and ended up falling in love. Technically, in Adelaide's eyes, that's not so much of an arranged marriage but rather an act of fate. They were actually married in Jordan and just two months after they moved to the United States, bringing the rest of the baggage - I mean, family - with them. The Epsteins had three kids; their first daughter, who just got married last year, their son, twenty-one and attending SMU, and then Adelaide, the baby girl. Life for Adelaide in the Epstein house has always been very... kosher. The family, meaning the extended family, seems to live in her house, and they're always stuffing food down her throat and talking about marrying her to some man who's like thirty. It's a strange lifestyle, but Adelaide's grown used to her life, rather dull, destined to be fat, never having a boyfriend and being watched like a hawk by her family. At times she wants to get away from it all, and her family life is suffocating, but in the end she loves her family and is greatful to have them. Again, at least her parents aren't in any way related.
Personality: Adelaide, being the youngest Epstein, has always been rather shy and tentative. Usually her elders have spoken up for her, they've decided what she wants and what she likes. Adelaide has never really been the type to say upfront how she really feels and usually acts the way everybody expects her too - resulting in a teacher's pet and a goody-two-shoes that have her peers rolling their eyes. Unfortunately, nobody hates her because she doesn't rub her goodness into their face and is actually very agreeable. Not because she happens to agree with everything you say, but because she's scared to disagree. Either way, she's gentle and not argumentative, so there's really no reason to get mad at her. Although, for some, the reason they aren't mad at her is because Adelaide seems somewhat invisible with her lack of a voice and ability to say anything for herself. Somewhere deep down inside of her, there is a person just screaming to be heard, but until she gets over the predispositions her family has set for her and her personal fear of being hated, Adelaide is just going to keep being that girl who smiles quaintly while reading the Torah at her desk.
Extra Curricular Activities: National Honor Society, Band, and Yearbook.
Editorial: There's a game? What game? Like Yahtzee? Adelaide has no idea what this game is, nor that there even is one. Thus, she doesn't know whether she approves of it or not, but if it's fun, her family probably won't.
Crush: When parents strongly warn you against having any feelings for anybody of the opposite sex, especially anybody who isn't Jewish, one of two things can happen; You can do it anyway, or you can become a lesbian and laugh in your parent's faces. Adelaide, never so bold, opted for the first. She doesn't talk about boys the way most girls, she doesn't really have anybody to talk about boys with, but in her head she dreams up fantasties of a different life, one where she's frolicking through the hills in a flowing dress and running into the arms of Noah Winthrop or Carter Paxton. The only reason Adelaide might like them, aside from their ridiculously good looks, is that they are utterly unattainable. They're safe to look at, nothing can come out of it except for a fantasy realm for Adelaide to escape to in her head every now and then. They probably don't even know she exists, so what's the harm in just looking, as long as you don't touch?

Taken By: FAIT_Accompli
Name: Reagan Ellsworth
Nicknames: N/A
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: “Girl Anachronism” by the Dresden Dolls
History: Reagan Ellsworth was the apple of her parents’ eyes growing up. They dressed her up in pink dresses and put bows in her hair. She was very bright and all her teachers loved her enthusiasm. She even got invited to all the best birthday parties and sleepovers. Her golden smile could light up a room and her long brown hair never curled or crimped. The summer before 7th grade she was sent to visit her uncle and cousins in Anaheim, California and returned a changed pre-adolescent teenager. The pink dresses were replaced with cargo pants and mesh tank-tops. The brown turned blue and the lips were coated brown and lined black. Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth didn’t know what to make of the new Reagan, but they knew immediately they didn’t like it. In fact, they promptly told this “imposter” to go back to Anaheim and get their little girl back. Reagan rather liked who she’d become and would have sooner stuck a needle in her eye than change back; a statement she’d later live up to anyway. Reagan didn’t just fit the mold of the black sheep perfectly, she practically re-invented the role (or perhaps a better word is “mutated.”) When kids her age started going to movies and parties, she was hitching rides to bondage clubs in San Francisco and Vampire Bazaars in LA. She got her first “alternative” piercing at fourteen (she pierced her own eye lid and got blood all over the place, but at least she didn’t poke her eye out!) A week later there were holes in her chin and her nose. This was right around the time she learned of her brother Ian’s own alternative preferences. Reagan took it surprisingly well (it explained why so many girls came over looking for Ian and never Reagan, not that she would have wanted their company anyway.) The two agreed to keep it a secret from their conservative parents until about a year ago when Ian blurted it out during The Apprentice (Trump’s “you’re fired” was the only thing that filled the silence, it was quite funny). Not to be upstaged by her brother (or maybe it was really just to take some of the heat off), Reagan went out and got another piercing in her hip. The last time Ian’s sexuality was brought up in a conversation again, Reagan ran out and got 28 holes in her back (i.e. “corset piercing”). That was a month ago. They’re still not talking to Reagan or her brother.
Personality: If the frequent change of color in her hair is any indication of Reagan’s mind state, it’s that it’s not all entirely there. Impulsive and reckless, Reagan lives by the seat of her pants without any seatbelts or restraints. So when she’s going fast and life suddenly puts on the breaks, she goes crashing headfirst. Reagan loves the thrill of the rush and likes nothing more than to get high on a wave of adrenaline. She’s not fearless however, not by a long shot. She thrives on that fear. You can’t truly appreciate life unless your dangling by your feet over the edge of Hoover damn and your life flashes before you, and if all you’ve done is sit around and smelled the decaying roses, you’re left with a rather short flash and a lot of screaming. Reagan lives for challenging conventionalism and safe liminal zones. Make no mistake though, because while Reagan is all about trying new things, she’s far from candid and unprejudiced. Reagan’s opinions often get the better of her especially when they’re uncensored. She’s also very careless, both in her actions and with people. Her mouth gets her in trouble frequently, as her words, just like her actions, carry through with little forethought. Reagan knows she’s far from being accepted, though she hardly minds as the people who don’t like her are often not liked in return. And she has absolutely no problem telling them. Colorfully -- sometimes even with diagrams, faceless dolls, and pin cushions too.
Extra Curriculars: Softball starting pitcher, Newspaper editorials editor, and Drama Club.
Editorial: Reagan knows what a hormonal breeding toilet high school can be, and without the Dawson/Joey/Pacey saga to keep her entertained anymore, she has to find new means of amusement. The sad, pathetic melodrama of Ball high school is a worthy substitute, though it lacks the prettiness of the Creek. And while you’re crying from a shreaded heart or getting your stomach pumped because you’ve had too much to drink, she’s usually in the background reminding you of the starving kids in Cambodia who have real reasons to cry, or laughing. Sometimes she’ll even take pictures.
Crush: Lets face it. Reagan’s far from being a die hard romantic stuck on the fruitless ideals of Danielle Steal and victim to Nicholas Sparks hoopla. But she’s far from having conquered her hormones, and just like her careless disposition, they’re all over the place. Boys like Henri Daguerre and Benett Rowsgrove are probably more than aware of the good genes they’ve been blessed with, and normally Reagan would have no problem telling them, except she fears their heads would grow too large and explode. And then you’ve got the Torrey Sanders who’s cherry is just ripe for the plucking. Reagan’s hardly worried about soiling her reputation anymore than it’s been blemished. The only bad thing about awkward inexperienced boys is that they turn clingy when it’s time to turn them loose. And finally there’s the Hayden Scotts and the Reece Roths just waiting to prove that nice guys don’t always finish last. But with a girl like Reagan, they’d be lucky to even finish the race, period.

Name: Evanthe Ibsen.
Age: Seventeen.
Grade: Junior.
Theme Song: "What If" by Motorpsycho
History: Evanthe was the only child born to Adam and Janet Ibsen. Their meeting was simple, they were both the first to arrive to their first English lecture in college, both shy and did not speak a word to each other. They continued to sit next to each other for the next year, but never spoke to each other, yet there was chemistry. Adam would brush his hand against Janet’s as they exchanged notes and she would shyly blush as she felt goosebumps form at the place his fingers had touched. After the school year was finished they both went their separate ways and it was not till six months later they would meet again in a small coffee shop two blocks away from school. Janet was sitting in a corner booth, flipping through her psychology text book, while Adam was looking for an empty booth to begin hectically highlighting his notes. Inevitably their eyes met and Janet invited Adam over to her table by a simple wave of the hand. After two hours of just staring at each other Adam finally spoke, he stumbled as he talked but his message was clear. “I like you.”. Three simple words lead to years of romance. They finally married after they both graduated and Janet was soon pregnant two months later. Adam put down a deposit on a family home in Texas, with the white picket fences, the wrap around porch and of course rose bushes. Adam and Janet were the perfect couple and still are, even though like every married couple they have their fights they have a way of overcoming it by silent communication.
Personality: Evanthe unlike her parents is eccentric. She loves to talk to anyone she meets and is far from being as shy a. Evanthe is usually prancing around the school courtyard, headphones attached to her ears as she chews strawberry bubblegum frantically while blowing bubbles in people’s faces. A lot of people think she is weird, but Evanthe likes to think of herself as a bohemian, an artesian, someone that is to complex for the basic human being to understand. Everyone knows Evanthe, it’s really had not to notice a girl that is always singing random tunes in class with a paint brush that is usually stuck in her hair to keep it up. She’s also energetic and some people might find her jumping on tables trying to hang from the ceiling for god knows what reason, she’s like a five year old child that is extremely curious and just because she’s eccentric, doesn’t mean she’s not intelligent, it just means that normal teenage life doesn’t challenge Evanthe.

Name: Jocelyn ‘Joss’ Landrie
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: --
History: With a name like Jocelyn you’d hardly expect Joss’s parents to be on the cutting edge of things nor to appear to match up with their daughter’s appearance. Of course, you’d be correct. No one would ever call Alex Landrie or his wife of twenty-five years Moira Golden as shockingly different from the rest of the white picket fence population (although the Landie’s home doesn’t actually have a white picket fence). Alex met his wife to be in university and they soon became friends. They soon entered typical ‘When Harry met Sally’ territory and their answer to that age-old question appeared to be ‘no’. Their relationship had somehow progressed from friends to lovers. Thanks to the fact that they had know each other for year the courtship lasted for mere months and the couple were married and Moira wore a white dress. She then quit her rather badly paying job and decided that herself and Alex would raise themselves a nice, normal family. First came Bernard, who has now moved to New York to be closer to his playwright boyfriend. Soon after he was born came Sandra, who dropped out of high school at seventeen and went to help Aids victims in Africa. Their last born was Jocelyn.
Personality: Joss (she’s only called Jocelyn by people looking for a slow, painful death) can be identified as ‘alternative’ on sight. But the fact that she decided on a whim last year to dye her hair hardly says all that much about a girl besides the fact that she’s never been one to colour in between the lines. In general Joss is there to cross lines and see what comes of it. While there are people who break rules simply for the sake of doing it, Joss has always found what follows the actual rule breaking to be the most interesting part of the process. Joss lives off people’s reactions and therefore often her own slight ‘misbehaviour’ very rarely translates to any real actual wrong doings. It’s all about breaking taboos and asking questions that people in nice towns like this don’t like asking. What regularly occurs is Joss being accused of being rude or impolite. She really is neither, but certainly does lack empathy to certain people. In order to get what she wants she often forgets that people might have feelings, but Joss never set out to hurt people, she just acts without thinking all that hard, following her gut instinct and is often led to the wrong places by doing such. But variety is the spice of life and while other people might call the negative experiences something else, Joss often just calls it life and leaves it at that. It’s most of these traits that leave her as a girl of contradictions but to coin her personality in one phrase you’re often left with ‘the troublemaker who acts on impulse’. While this may actually be quite honest it does managed to forget to mention motives, a rather important part of making Joss Joss. She likes to believe that most of what is done is done for a purpose, but these reflections on her actions almost always come after the event. Time waits for no man, or woman, and Joss needs her life to reflect that. There is no need to over analysis things and while she living she might as well attempt to rock the boat slightly.
Extra Curricular Activities: Latin Club, Creative Writing Club, Debate.
Editorial: Joss really has little opinion about the people who label themselves players. They have lives and like most other people have the right to do what they choose with them. While some people might dedicate their lives to curing cancer they try and sleep with as many people as possible. While Joss hardly believes it to be a good reflection of their mental state she doesn’t spend all that much time loosing sleep on how others pass the time.
Crush: Joss is often the impulsive one. For that reason she would be the one that you would expect to act on whatever funny feeling she might get. But it's not as easy as that. Because while they may be others parts of life where her mantra is think now, act later, she's learnt from previous experience. And it often turns out that in life the boy that you've been lusting after for quite some time doesn't find you at all attractive. And probably doesn't know your name. (When your Joss that seems to happen often, and she is refered to as 'that chick with the funny hair'.) And so, after much consideration Joss has decided that for this aspect of her life she will be very, very certain of everyone's feelings before she admits to her own. For that reason her crushes on both Peyton Reid and Sage Cooper will go unmentioned for quite some time.

Taken By: AngelDevil
Name: Amy Morand
Age:17
Grade:Junior
Theme Song: Here for Now -Ani Difranco
History: Delilah Brennens met Arthur Morand long before either would remember. The two children lived three streets away in their native city of Los Angeles, and went through grade school going tot he same school before they would even recognize eachothers existance. The summer of 1980 Delilah found herself in the same physics class as Arthur in college.
You'd think this is where the sparks would start flying, right?
The truth is Delilah felt little to nothing for Arthur, and she didn't lose sleep over it because she knew that Arthur wasn't either. The two went through half the physics class with a quite complacency towards eachother. 2 months later and a few relationships later, Arthur and Delilah had moved from complacency to what they could only see as hatred. Arthur was too stuffy, Delilah too precise.
This all, of course, didn't matter when Arthur and Delilah got wasted at a party and ended up sleeping together.
Delilah and Arthut tied the knot in New York City under the pressure of religion and fairly simplistic family. Fast forward 17 years, and Delilah and Arthur found a quiet understanding of eachother. Now that they live in different houses.
Ahem.
Personality: Amy is quite the conundrum. She's admitted to being more than a little confusing, just a bit insufferable, and “wouldn't come near me with a ten foot pole” if she had the chance. The fact is, Amy isn't an extrovert, and she isn't interested in the petty squabblings of a few children trying to make themselves more important than they really are. She doesn't want to tell you all the reasons why you should love her, and she doesn't want make excuses for the reasons that you shouldn't. She just is. Not entirely blunt but certainly not mysterious, Amy might say what she means, but she might not mean what she says, either. She hasn't been around long enough to understand who she is, which contributes to the almost consistently present aura of confusion that surrounds her. Amy is the kind of person who looks at the world from a different perspective every day, sometimes asking the biggest questions a person can ask and sometimes not even bothering with seeing past her nose. The bright side of her little situation is that life never gets boring, however boring her life really is. In that respect, Amy would compare herself to a “goldfish with a ridiculously tiny memory span”. she can look at the same spot on the wall and ask for the answers every single time. Whether or not that's a good thing she hasn't tried to figure out. Not apathetic enough not to care and not emotional enough to try, Amy has found herself at a standstill. If you want to try and provoke her, you can. She can't guarantee you'll get a response, but she can't guarantee your safety. Simple right? She thinks so too.
Extra Curricular Activities: Photography club, Creative Writing club
Editorial: What does Amy think of the Players? The better question would be if she actually has bothered thinking about the Players. The answer? Not really. The players are, inevitably, another level in the high school hierarchy, a level of politics that she can't be bothered with paying attention to.
Crush: The word crush inspires a few sentiments in most people. A little bit of disgust at the simplicity of the word and a single-minded fear of what people might think if they knew who the object of their affection was. Amy has always through of the word crush as the most simplistic way to say what people say in entire novels. Her stolen glances and whispered tokens of affection are something she might not admit to, but if she did, it'd probably be in it's simplest form. So, that being said, if she were tell anyone what she felt(which doesn't happen often) or find someone who was bothering to listen to her speak(a rare occurance) she would probably say that the object of her affections, her stolen glance, whispered affectionee(or her "crush") would be Jude Cochran. As much as she'd attempt to explain such a phenomenon to herself and if it came to it, the rest of the world, she hasn't come up with any explanation that makes her sound remotely sane. Inevitably it's one of those firing synapses in her head that's telling her he's worth the attention she affords him. Not that he'd ever notice her attention, since attention from Amy would mean ignoring the person even more(call it her 'defense mechanism').Considering all the other crush information and long explanations aside, she also finds that Jarret Meyers is just about the prettiest person. Ever.

Name: Alana O'Neil
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: This is optional
History: Alana O'Neil is the only child of two of the towns most spoiled rich moronic brats. Both of her parents have not worked a day in their lives. They have had everything handed down to them on a silver platter. Her grandfather invented something. Toast or the toaster or some weird usless thing. Post-Its maybe? Or it could have been velcroe? She has no idea. Honestly no one really knows. All that is known is that due to whatever it was the man invented he has managed to have enough money to put Alana through twenty something years of school, flunk out and go through another twenty years. Her life is pretty much all the glamor to be expected. Her parents met through their own parents. They both belonged to the same country club, and met at sixteen. From the moment they met it was hate at first sight. But their parents kept pushing them together more and more every day they continued to push them together. Neither one understood why their parents were so fixated on pushing them together. It made no sense. Why would it be so important for them to keep running into each other? Until finally it became clear. Money. They both came from very wealthy families, and with the two families joining someday it would only prove to give them even more money then before. Even though they caught on to their parents scheme, the idea of actually marrying someone and being able to have all of this access to all of the money they could imagine..well what person in their right mind would turn down something like that? COMEON. really. Of course, now due to what happened with their meeting, together they are now working towards finding a boy who is as rich as them so that they can force Alana to marry him and be even richer then they are now. Yes...yes she is part of a very power hungry family.
Personality: It would be easy to say Alana is the girl you'll see skipping into school every morning, a big smile on her face, hugging random classmates as they walk by, saying hi to everyone she sees, smiling and well being sweet. But that would be a lie. Alana is not the girl you'll see being nice to anyone. Unless of course they are planning on buying her something pretty. if they are then well that is a very different story. But even then she won't be the nicest person in the world. She is the Ice Queen, now not ice princess of course. Because the ice princess may once in a while actually release her soul..but alana really doesn't care about anyone. she doesnt care about what people think of her, she doesnt care what people say to her or what people do to her as long as they dont touch her money and as long as they let her beat on them with her guicci purse she's fine with it. So yeah..you won't be seeing her winning the sweetest girl of the year award anytime soon.

Taken By: *Sarahrooie*
Name: Euan Kennedy
Age: Sixteen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: --
History: Brianna Kennedy had always been considered a rather normal girl. She was polite to her parent’s friends, got average grades and had a small group of friends who often enjoyed spending their free time going to the cinema or shopping. It was all very fun things for a nice middle class Texan girl to be doing. But very few girls want to be normal. They want to break the mold and be something better. They also want to get invited to the coolest party of the year, which actually seemed to happen, only because a girl whose mother worked with Brianna’s was hosting it. So the big day came and Brianna dolled herself up, still squealing at the idea of attending a party that college boys would be attending. And within a few minutes of being there it appeared that Brianna had been picked off as an easy target. Thanks to that we had a nice little seventeen-year-old mother on our hands. Of course her parents almost disowned, but religious believes mean that they would rather see her pregnant than have an abortion. So little Euan came into the world without a father. Most people might see this as a negative position for such a small child to be in but it never really did affect Euan’s life. His mother went onto university and he was raised by his grandparents for those four years, who by now accepted him as if he had never been born out of wedlock. Brianna returned home with a job that paid enough to support a small child and a new boyfriend. Presently Brianna is actually married to that man and Euan has a baby half sister. And Euan thinks there’s nothing wrong with his upbringing.
Personality: It seems odd to have an image of the stereotypical sixteen year old boy, but it seems that Euan lives up to this label quite well. He’s slightly cheeky, appears to act against authority figures without ever really breaking the rules and lusts after girls that he knows he will never, ever have. But even his love of Blink 182 and fart jokes isn’t enough to completely take Euan as being the archetype for all sixteen-year-old boys. There are very few people made of out cardboard out there and Euan is not one of them. It’s just that Euan’s life has never been rocked by tragedy nor does he feel like he needs to grasp onto some attention in order to get by in life. But then he’s at the age when everyone likes to give a middle finger to the rules yet is still rather terrified of what might happen if he’s ever excessively bad. So Euan hits it with the best he’s got, rather weak jokes and the odd prank or two. Nothing world threatening, nothing to give him the reputation of being some kind of menace. In fact Euan has very little reputation, beside the incident last year when he approached one of the most popular girls in that year’s senior year and did nothing but stare at her with his mouth wide open. But that only lead to mocking by the football team for a month or so, after that it was pretty much forgotten. Obviously not by Euan, who still has nightmares about it. It’s because this is where Euan fails dreadfully. He will never be a Casanova, or at least it appears that way at the present time. Around close friends Euan is accused of talking far too much, and he’ll ever make oh so witty comments from the back of a classroom, but put him in front of a pretty girl and it appears that his brain just forgets to work. This is mainly to do with the fact that Euan aims far too high for himself. While he’s not horribly deformed, he really should know that it probably not best to chase after the blonde, popular ones all the time. Those are normally the ones that turn you down, or at least the ones with scary older boyfriend who would have no probably hitting you quite hard.
Extra Curricular Activities: None
Editorial: Euan can’t really hate these people. But when they pass him in the corridor he mutters under his breath and everyone thinks that he’s so sensible for understanding that being a player is not the best way to go through life. Only the muttering is really due to jealous rage. Euan has never really been a ladies man, nor is he smooth enough to convince whoever he’s drooling over to let him in her pants with a few well placed words. If he could he would ‘play’ his little heart out, but his skills don’t lie in that area, so he’s forced to watch from the sidelines.
Crush: And so continues Euan's problem with falling for fantasy figures. (He's still doing his best to get rid of that whole crush of Keren Epstein thing.) The more girl this time is Theodora Wright, who in Euan's eyes can do no wrong. But Euan's chances with Theodora are rather slim. Just like they were with Lana Simmons when he was 'in love' with her. (But it's best not to mention that now, because Euan is so enamoured with Thodora that he can't quite understand what he ever saw in Lana.) And it's this which shows us that we shouldn't pity Euan and his horribly unrequited love all that much. Judging from past experiences he will fawn over Theodora for a short period of time and then will one day, for no apparent reason whatsoever, will decided that actually someone else is better than she is. Teenage lust is so fickle

Grade: Junior
Theme Song: --
History: Peyton lives with his grandmother, Ada. His history isn't tragic, filled with divorce or death, but his parents are important and rich and live overseas doing classified governemental work. The work isn't very important, because as far as Peyton is concerned, the only interaction he has with John and Maryanna Reid is the occasional phone call, giftcard full of money, or the brief visit over a weekend every few years. The important part of his family life is Ada. She is old, obviously, but pleasant, loving and would do anything for Peyton. He would do anything for her, and the two have formed a mother-son relationship that he doesn't have with his real mother. They stay in a large enough house, along the water, and the two of them live their undisturbed life rather carefree and devoid of predicament. The money is provided by Peyton's parents, so everything is covered. They both have nice cars and the finest of gadgets and electronics. But the main thing is the love. Aw, how sweet.
Personality: With only a first glimpse to go on, people would assume Peyton is nothing more than a music-loving, quiet guy. If one thing is constant at GBHS, it is that first impressions are usually dead wrong. This is the case when dealing with Peyton, anyhow. He may seem quiet, but really you don't hear the words muttered under his breath about the stupidity of most of the students that attend his school. Occasionally, when the person is idiotic enough, the 'under his breath' part becomes loud and violent and on the verge of punching people in the face. Though, he is a little too small to hit anyone, so he's never really been in a fight. To say he has a slight temper would be an understatement. He tries to control his rage, in the form of producing good head-banging music for his band. It usually works, until the right asshole comes along and disrupts his calm demeanor. This produces the aforementioned yelling. Peyton is good-humored, and can appreciate the absurdity of life, especially high school. He isn't a bad boy, but he isn't a saint either. He is in between Abercrombie model and rock band bad boy... and you get the picture. Peyton is a little bit sassy under normal circumstances, but if there is enough alcohol in his body, he is just a jerk. He likes things to go his way and strives for perfection, which is why he isn't exactly the favorite band member or guy to be around. Your best bet for a relationship with Tyler is to not be dumb, and maybe, he'll respect you.
Extra Curricular Activities: Jazz Band, Varsity Swimming, and the bass player for Allowing Destruction.
Editorial: He has better things to do with his time than following the misgiving deeds of a large group of guys, who probably all want to get it on with each other than the girls they are hunting. 'Nuff said.
Crush: If a man didn't have certain urges, Peyton would be perfectly content with spending all of his time with his best friend Eunnie Uotani, and starting some form of a warped monogamous relationship with her. She is amazing in sense of the word. However, Peyton is very aware of his attraction to the girls at Galveston Ball, and he has tried to be but just isn't attracted to Eunnie 'like' that. She knows too much, and might as well be a guy to Peyton. So, that is the end of that, but the rumors still persistent about their relationship just like they always will. Peyton would like nothing more than to get most of the girls at GBHS in bed, just like any other guy. But he looks particularly hard in Joss Landrie's direction, whenever he gets the chance. She is wonderful and perfect for him as far as he is concerned.

History: Reece Shelby Roth was born to Michelle and Buck Roth. The second child for the couple, it was their oldest son. Reece growing up was an outcast at an early age. He never fit in and he always felt different. He just never was big into sports like most boys his age. When other boys were off playing baseball, he wanted to stay in doors watching Star Wars. The only friend he really had was Angelique Voight...the girl next store he had known since they were babies.
His love of comic books, sci-fi, and of the supernatural clearly was present the day he hit puberty. Taking an interest in D&D, instead of girls...he wasn't like most normal guys. This ring true about most things about him.
In high school when he got there, he was known as the king of all geeks and he hold that title true even to his junior year of high school.
He doesn't date and the only girl he wants doesn't even see him the same way.

Name: Regina Shallard
Age: Sixteen
Theme Song: "Somebody's Somebody" by Christina Aguilera
History: Christine Shallard's life was planned out to the smallest detail before the nursery walls were wallpapered. The last of three children, and the only girl, the Shallards had many plans for their precious gift of a daughter. A structured, but loving up-bringing, Christine spent the first seventeen years of her life making as few waves as possible. She went with the flow of things; attended church every Sunday, studied diligently, and obeyed the rules her parents laid down. Never once did Helen or Michael Shallard doubt the path their daughter's life would take. Christine found a new world at the college she chose, the alma mater of both her parents. It was the first time in her life that she wasn't under the watchful eyes of her parents, and it was when she realized that though her parents only loved and wanted the best for her, they had sheltered her from so much of the world. She was curious and was swept into the fast life of the big city. Had a friend of Christine's been there, one who knew the love of her parents, or one who had grown up with her, maybe the outcome of her college experience would have been different. Maybe her parents' vision would have been fulfilled, and she might be a partner at a law firm, or a pediatrician, and maybe she would not have ended up in a body bag. It was almost a week before two-year-old Regina's babysitter, and Christine's friend, found out what had happened to Christine. The box where Regina's father's name should have been instead read "Unknown", and the Shallards had long since disowned their daughter. Fearful for the confused toddler, the babysitter vowed to do what she could to keep Regina out of the fostercare system. A tentative phone call was placed to Christine's parents. The aging couple admitted they could not take in the small child who so resembled their daughter, but calls were placed to Christine's oldest brother. He had done well for himself, and had always loved his little sister, and had done what he could to help her through her darkest times. Regina was welcomed into the home of her uncle and his new bride, and their small family was formed. Regina was raised with two parents; Uncle Todd and Aunt Denise. She knew about her Mommy Angel, and though Todd and Denise were ready to admit openly the truths about the years before her mother's death, and what led to her untimely end, Regina rarely asked questions about the woman she knew for so few months. Regina grew up in San Diego, and it wasn't until she was eight that Denise had her first child. A perfect baby boy, at least in the eyes of Regina, who soon became a little mother to her small cousin. She had even been the one to pick his name; Justin. Within the first two years of Justin's life, it was discovered that he had leukemia. His treatment being so critical to his survival, the Shallards transferred their entire lives to Texas where Justin could get the treatment he needed. For two years, they lived in an apartment in Houston, not far from MD Anderson, where Justin was being treated. Once it was clear that Justin had gone into remission, they relocated to Galveston. Obviously smaller than Houston, and more suitable to raise children, it was a welcome move for everyone in the family. While in Houston, Regina was enrolled in ballet classes to pass the long hours during Justin's treatment. Though other engagements were arranged, ballet was the one that most captured her interest. She has danced since, and though she started considerably later than her peers, her natural ability and detirmination might lead you to believe differently. She still tends to Justin, and is still protective over him. She took him to his first day of second grade, and was there to pick him up. Though the typical repoire of siblings exists between them, a special bond was formed during their time spent in Houston, and it hasn't been lost, even with all the bickering and teasing that goes on.
Personality: Focused, responsible, and a little too mature for age is how one of Regina's teachers might describe her, and it's one she would most definitely approve of. Anything Regina does is done with precision and accuracy, whether it be an assignment for school or a conversation with a stranger. She is never without a polite word, which leaves her coming off a little forced; some might even say fake. It's not as though she wakes up, striving to be fake, or even if she's aware of it. She's not; subconciously, she strives for perfection. She knows it can't be attained, but without realizing it, it's what she tries to portray each and every day. A smile will make people think you're happy, so what does she do? She smiles. It's not as if she has anything to be truly unhappy about. She's loved, there's no doubt about that. It's not that she's trying to mask unhappiness, as much as she's trying to force the happiness. Deep down, she is happy. She's happy when she's dancing. Otherwise, she's simply waiting until the next time she can slip on her pointe shoes, and without even realizing it, trying to find something else to convince herself, along with everyone else, that she's happy.
Editorial: A little naive to more than just the games these players play, she has heard the rumors. For Regina, the high school dating scene in itself is a bit of a mystery, not to mention this so-called "game." It's not information she parades around, but Regina has never had a boyfriend, nor has she been kissed (unless you count that time Greg McDonald slobbered on her in third grade).

Max was studying business management after he scored a baseball scholarship at The University of Texas whilst Clea was studying to become a doctor. The two met through a mutual friend and while Clea was reluctant to let Max in after witnessing his womanising ways throughout highschool, the two finally started dating and were married a year later. Clea soon fell pregnant with their only son Brandon and while things were looking up for the young couple a freak motorcycle accident would end the promising baseball career of Max Steinhart and leave him as a paraplegic. With their young son in tow the couple decided to move to Galveston Island to get away from the constant reminders of Max’s accident and with the hope that they may be able to start a new life. However, the constant stresses brought on by Max’s disability would see himself and Clea constantly on edge with each other and it was only days before Brandon’s second birthday that the couple decided to call it quits. Clea and Brandon eventually moved out but not far away, in fact they only moved about a half a block away. Even with their differences Clea and Max knew it was important for their son to be brought up with two parents. Max still sees Brandon nearly everyday and it is their shared love of baseball that has strengthened what could have been a very tedious relationship. Max wants Brandon to achieve everything that he couldn’t and it is this pressure that makes Brandon work his guts out everyday to ensure that he achieves his dream of playing in the national baseball league.
Personality: If you could sum Brandon up in one word it would be dedicated. When Brandon makes up his mind about achieving something you better believe it’s going to happen. However, sometimes his dedication can be his down fall. He’s 100% comitted to becoming a professional baseball player and this leaves little time for anything else, especially a social life. People automatically assume that he is like the other guys on his team, who party all the time and chase girls for the fun of it, but this couldn’t be any further than the truth. The small handful of friends he does have he is extremley loyal to and he would do anything for any of them in a heart beat.
Extra curricular: Varsity Baseball, School paper - he has his own sports coloumn
Editorial: Brandon is constantly surrounded by these so-called
"players" and even counts some of them as his closest friends. He considers anything they do to be their own business and therefor has little to say about the matter.
Crush: Brandon is absoloutley intrigued by Roosevelt McRyan for reasons completley unknown to him. He’s barely spoken two words to the girl his whole life yet would do just about anything to be in her company for a second or two.

Name: Rachel ‘Rae’ Talbot
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: --
History: In the summer of 1985 eighteen year old Nancy Freeman left South Carolina looking for a new life. She was heading to Mexico, fed up with her dull life and her bickering parents. Nancy never made it past Houston, because it was there that she met Johnny Talbot, a rebel without any real cause, a boy who worn a leather jacket and snarled and made her turn to jelly. Nancy dropped all idea of Mexico and stayed in Texas with Johnny, already enamored with him. The two of them soon became a couple, although neither of them really had any sort of money to speak of. By the winter of ’85 Nancy was pregnant. You can probably do the math to work out that this child was not Rachel, but her older brother, Robert, who was born to penniless parents. This new child didn’t appear to put them off any sexual activity and Rachel was conceived not long after her brother was born. But with a newborn child and a pregnant girlfriend Johnny did what all boys in leather jackets with snarls do, and ran. But by now Nancy had become rather accustomed to her surrounding and refused to move back home. She was also slightly terrified with what her father might do to her when he found out about her predicament. But apparently she did still love Johnny, a fact illustrated by the fact that both children bear his surname. Nancy was still only young and managed to start attending night classes in order to make a living for herself and her two children. And she did succeed, or at least climbed her way up the career ladder. To everyone surprise, this young mother appeared to have a business head on her shoulders. By the time Rachel was twelve there was enough money in the family to move out of Houston and to buy a place in Galveston Island, which to Nancy had always seemed like the perfect place to live. Since the move Nancy has actually become a rather respected member of the community, although still unmarried, which she claims to be due to the importance of her career and her children. And also because she’s still in love with Johnny Talbot.
Personality: There are certain people who believe that Rachel enjoys getting angry purely for the sake of it. And if you witnessed her demonstration in the cafeteria last week you might feel inclined to agree. Of course Rachel herself claims that she was acting purely to stop the barbaric act of serving meat products. But you do often get the sense that she’s fight a loosing battle there. Just like the petition that she stated desecrating the sexist practice of cheerleading. In short if you have a pointless cause that you want someone to fight for Rachel’s the girl for you. And often her ideas are intelligent and she is looking to do her best to improve the world, it’s just that often she goes about it without really thinking, or without any real backing or planning. Hence the fact that she’s now know as ‘the crazy, angry girl.’ This isn’t really a particularly accurate description of Rachel, but we live in a society where everyone needs labels and this is hers. Instead what she really might be is a girl on a mission. A girl with ideas that might just change the world. Okay, so probably very few of them will change the world, but in her mind that’s what they’ll do. And really, in a slightly selfish way, Rachel cares most about what’s in her mind, because what’s in other people’s minds often appears to lead to less than good things. In a slightly self-aggrandizing way Rachel believes that most other people are idiots and that their decisions will never be quite as well thought out as her own. It’s very rarely the honest truth but it’s always the truth in Rachel’s eyes. Maybe that’s why she doesn’t have very many friends.
Extra Curricular Activities: Spanish Club, SADD
Editorial: Surprisingly enough self-proclaimed feminist Rachel isn’t all that keen of the idea. But she is also aware that it’s not something that she can really protest about. Instead she makes rude comments about and hopes that they fall down manholes (while she claims to be a pacifist, she understands that sometimes in life we need to make exceptions.)
Crush: Rachel's in her 'women need men like a fish needs a bicycle' stage of her life at the moment. Which roughly translates to spurning all sort of horomonal feelings to the opposite sex as well as she could. At the moment she is actually toying with the idea of being a lesbain, hoping that it will somehow make her life much simplier. And although her school girl crush on Jakob Epstein still prevales (she can't help it, he's just pretty) she's doing her best to put such childish things behind her and look at her life a different way. And also look at the people in it differently. Like how Regina Shallard is awfully pretty and how she can actually have vaguely sexual thought about Cassidy Rhea. But try as she might she still does have thoughts that she's not supposed to about boys. So she's possibly still working on being lesbian. Maybe she's bi-sexual. She's really not all that certain about the whole thing yetPB: Katy Rose

Taken By: New York City
Name: Cayden Tolcher
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: Mockingbird, Eminem.
History: The love story of Joseph Tolcher and Kristin Williams isn't exactly one for the books; it's neither exciting or dramatic. Kristin was the gawky girl in high school who boys ignored because of her huge, black-rimmed glasses that blossomed in college to become a beauitful woman. Joseph was the cocky jock who didn't have to try to get girls because he was just that good looking. They met in college through mutual friends, and Joseph was immediately attracted to Kristin because she was the one girl on campus who didn't want him. They spurred and tossed witty barbs at each other until one day Kristin Williams woke up and realized that she was in love with Joseph. Joseph realized the same and after a year of dating and six month-long engagement they were married. Both busy with their careers, they were married for three years before either even thought of having children. And so four and a half years into their marriage Cayden Tolcher made her entrance into the world. Her birth wasn't excited, she came into the world wailing like any other child and as a toddler she wasn't a child-genius. She learned to walk and talk at the rate of every other baby in Texas. She began her training in dancing at the age of four, at her father's insistence. And she wasn't amazingly gifted but she worked hard, even for a four-year old and she's been dancing ever since. The only truly interesting thing to happen to Cayden, and coincedentally the most traumatic, occurred when she was eleven years old and her mother was killed in a plane crash. Cayden had been on the verge of puberty and quite simply, Joseph Tolcher couldn't handle the simple questions Cayden asked. He shut her out, letting her figure out everything on her own with the help of a few library books and television. And when that phase passed and Cayden thought it was safe to talk to her father again she realized, he'd much rather leave money on her dresser in exchange for her love. Cayden knows that it's her fathers' way of showing her love, that he's working hard to provide for Cayden and ensure that she can live the way she did. But it gets hard, her father constantly away on business trips and the uneasy silence when the maid has gone home at the end of the day.
Personality: It's one of the misfortunes of high school, the cliques and the stereotypes that are thrust your way before you even know who you are, that lead most people to believe that Cayden is a popular bitch. She hangs out with them, she wears the nice designer clothes like them, she's on the cheerleading squad with them... so why wouldn't she be just as superficial and conniving as the rest of them? Well there isn't a real answer to that question, but she isn't. She's the quintessential 'life of the party,' always up for a good time and a good laugh. She's open about her sexuality, a blunt edge to her voice that usually makes the knees of the geeks and misfits quiver just enough to keep them away from her. But while the rest of her friends are honestly struggling with the balance of partying, boys, shopping and actually studying, Cayden's one of those annoying people, who seems to have it all figured out. She won't through a fit over one poor test grade but you can be sure that she'll give up a party or two to make sure it doesn't happen again. She's quite aware that to get anywhere in life you have to make a few sacrifices.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity Swimming. Cheerleading Squad. Yearbook Committee.
Editorial: Even after consoling one of her friends, an unfortunate victim to the game, Cayden can't help but think that her friend was a dumbass. Teenagers are nothing but bundles of sexual frustration and guys are nothing if not commitment-phobes so why wouldn't there be boys who'd 'love em & leave em'? But Cayden knows that if a Player would spout his lines at her, she'd probably let him sweep her off of her feet; just because she knows the ride is amazing before the crash.
Crush: An ode to her own vanity, Cayden's always been partial to the guys most likely to dote on her and treat her well & be there for all of her swimming meets. Unfortunately those guys don't usually run in her social circle, so she has to steal glances at boys like Torrey Sanders. But then there are the guys who are socially acceptable according to the cheerleading squad who she openly talks about with her friends like Aron Hirsch.

Taken By: Sundance Kid
Name: Holly Threakston
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: "It's not" by Aimee Mann
History: Amanda Miller started studying without really understanding why she did it, or where she wanted her newly gained knowledge to lead. She had already seen Europe, had already had about fifteen boyfriends and two jobs; one at a kindergarten and the other one...had something to do with telephones, whatever it was. One night she was standing outside the university building having a smoke when all of a sudden a guy named Jamie Threakston jumped out in front of her, playing air-guitar pretending to be Steve Vai. The initial thoughts running through her head at that moment were probably less than pretty, but whatever first impression this Jamie guy gave, the two students eventually fell deeply in love. Jamie was apparently double majoring in Archeology and Mathematics, simply because he thought it was so incredibly interesting. Years later in Boston, when Jamie was working as an archaeologist and Amanda as a secretary, they had a daughter, Holly. Jamie and Amanda just then realized that they were to spend the rest of their lives together, and decided it was time to marry. So they did, and moved to Texas where they’ve been living ever since, making small improvements on their house every now and then, not planning to move or make any sort of attempts to renew their lives any time soon. The problem is, lately these two have started to argue about little things that never bothered them before. And the fights and arguments are getting worse each day, each week, each month. To Holly, her parents had always been the only two perfect persons in the world, the only two persons that always made the right decisions, that always had the right opinions about things and most of all; the only two persons that would always, under any circumstances, love each other. It is now clear to her that the main reason for her parents sticking together accepting each other was their daughter. They had put all their energy and spare time into making Holly feel good and grow up safely and now when they aren’t allowed to take care of her anymore, they’re starting to realize that this may not be what they want.
Personality: Describing Holly Threkaston’s personality is probably an impossible task, at least if you want an easy and comprehensive description. Which is why the single word ’complex’ would be the best one to use. She comes from a model home, and has therefore grown up to be somewhat down to earth and timid. When she was younger she was always the ridiculously shy girl standing in a corner just observing everyone else wishing desperately to be like them. That obviously never happened, but throughout her life she has taken some steps in that direction. She’s not particularly shy anymore (although that part of her personality does kick in occasionally, especially when she’s put in situations she wouldn’t chose to be in herself). On the contrary, she can sometimes come off as rather outgoing and even social. This may or may not be an act to hide away the nervous and skittish person behind the facade, but it sure has proved to be effective when it comes to making friends. Some days she’s over the moon proud of herself and loves the life she’s living and everybody in it, while other days she just want to disappear from this earth. Complex? I told you so. The thing with Holly is that some days she can make every bad thing in the world look awesome, only to drag everyone into her depressive thoughts the following day. What makes it even more problematic (or interesting, depending on what type of person you are) is that she prefers not showing her emotions to anyone, with the possible exception of her best friend. Sure, when she’s extremely happy it’s bound to get out, but when it’s the other way around...she’d rather just feel sorry for herself in silence.
Extra Curricular Activities: Art club. And that’s about it.
Editorial: Those so-called ’players’ could sleep with every single person at school, including teachers. Hell, why not include pets as well? See if she cares. To Holly, her own issues and questions in life are far too important to even bother to try and understand the philosophy behind the players and their conquests. And what would be the point anyway? It’s not like they’re going to stop just because some weird little girl walks up to them and say ’hey, I don’t like what your doing’. Plus, she believes nobody would ever try to ’play’ her anyway, she’s much too ugly, weird and...well, too much of an outsider and a loser. They probably don’t even know that she exists.

Taken By: In Fair Verona
Name: Eunice (Eunnie) Uotani
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: "Heart" - Do As Infinity (In Japanese)
History: Eunice Uotani is the middle daughter to Ken and Yui Uotani, an English professor and a Math teacher at two different - and rival Tokyo high schools. Eunnie's friends all think it's some breath-taking romance that two teachers from rival schools would meet at a football game and fall in love. Eunnie then points out that her parents are teachers, and there is no possible way that such a dull occupation is breath-taking, nor romantic. Perhaps Eunnie has always had a thing against teachers because she had to be raised under them and there was never a day when she was allowed to slack off, never a day when her parents didn't expect for her to hand them all of her homework so they could check it before she turned it in to ensure that she got perfect marks. Then the summer after freshman year happened, and she met Keitaro, a boy from her rival school (Eunnie attends the school her father teachers at). The two hit it off and you know what they say, history repeats itself. They dated for the entire summer, and then something strange happened. All of a sudden, no less than two and a half months in their relationship, Keitaro wanted to have sex and he was very persistent. Eunnie was befuddled, this didn't seem like the sweet and sensitive guy she had started dating, the one who said he'd wait forever if he had to for her. It was like he was going to leave if she didn't, and feeling pressured, Eunnie consented. They had sex and the very next day, Keitaro dumped her. Just like that, and her world just came crashing down. Her honor was completely destroyed, and so was her heart. That's when she learned about it, it was a game that the boys at her rival high school played, and even some at her own. It was all a part of this sick game, and even though Eunnie knew she didn't do anything wrong, she wasn't able to live herself. Just being the same city as Keitaro was killing her, especially everytime she saw him in Tokyo, with another girl, another victim. In her Sophomore year, Eunnie was different, no longer the lively girl she had been before. Her parents noticed something was wrong, and then a solution to her problem was found. A foreign exchange program. Sure, running away is not the problem, but this would be a valuable experience and Eunnie didn't want to let it slip away. She also couldn't stay in Japan, because even being in the same hemisphere as Keitaro was too much. So, in the middle of her Sophomore year she left to stay with a family in Galveston, Texas, and has since been going to Ball High School. Because her father was an english professor, she was already well adapted and found herself able to put the past behind her, make new friends, and return to her jovial self.
Personality: Eunnie is an incredibly perky and energetic person. She's always the life of the party, always encouraging others to live a little, to have a little fun and just let go. Though as much as Eunnie talks about "letting go", a part of her is still very reserved, and that part would be her heart. She doesn't completely open her heart to anybody, not after what happened to her in the past. It might seem hypocritical, but the truth is she's really trying. She wants to fall in love for real someday, and she wants more than anything to get over what happened, but sometimes it's so difficult to forget that men are able to be so disgusting and low - and that makes her unable to trust any man, which is what is preventing her from ever being happy. A part of her beneath the extroverted and amiable exterior is extremely paranoid, and always looking over her shoulder, anxious and apprehensive.
Extra Curricular Activities: Art, Yearbook, HBTV, and National Honor Society.
Editorial: It's horrible, it's dispicable, and Eunnie won't stand for it. While most people may prefer to turn their heads in the other direction, Eunnie won't be able to live with herself if she does. She doesn't want anybody to experience what she did because no girl deserves that sort of pain, whether they set themselves up for it or not. If she knows that a boy is a player and he is with a girl, she will butt in and try to say something to them. Unfortunately, most people don't listen to her until it's too late.
Crush: Eunnie liking boys was a thing of the past. If you look in a recent history book, you might find the important event near the back, after the fall of the Berlin wall. Eunnie is through with men, at least for now. Maybe someday she will be able to settle down and get married, but she will never trust a high school or college boy ever again, as they're too wrapped up in their immature games to even pursue a real relationship. It's really sad, actually, because there are quite a few good-looking guys at Ball High, like Michael Mathers and Anthony Cotrina, but not good-looking enough for Eunnie to trust. She doesn't even trust her best friend in the entire world, Peyton Reid, as much as she wants to because he's the greatest and most wonderful guy she's ever met... yeah, it's a pity.

Name: Darrah ‘Dee’ Velasquez
Age: Sixteen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: 'Only You' by Mandy Moore
History: Connor Velasquez and Indiana Jones’ love was one that was forbidden. They met when Indiana started working for Connor’s company when she was twenty-one years old. She had a crush on him the moment that she laid eyes on him across the room. And then made a lasting impression when she spilt hot coffee on his pants during an important meeting. There was only two things that were standing in their way: the fact that there was a seventeen year age gap between the two of them and Connor was married. He had been happily married for twenty years, was the father of three grown boys and was very much in love with his wife. Yet, he found himself attracted to Indiana like he had never been attracted to a woman before. The two of them started an affair and a couple of months into the affair, Indiana discovered she was pregnant. She gave birth to Darrah Carmelia Jones with Connor by her side promising that he would leave his wife so that the two of them could be together. They never managed to have the ‘happily ever after’ that they always dreamed of having. Indiana dies three days after the birth of her daughter die to heart complications. Connor was faced with the decision of admitting to his wife that he had had an affair or putting his only daughter up for adoption. He admitted to his wife that he had had an affair and that Darrah was a result of that affair. Connor’s wife, Jacinta, although she forgave him for the affair never really accepted Darrah into her family. She as a constant reminder of the sin that her husband had committed and she knew that Connor favoured Darrah because she was a reminder of her mother. When Darrah was old enough to know the truth about her mother and her family, Jacinta delighted in reminding her all the time that she was never really wanted and the only reason she was here was because her mother had died. She has no relationship with her step-mother and because of the age gap between her half-brothers and herself she very rarely sees them. Darrah and Connor share a close bond with one another and all of her life she has been spoiled. Has never wanted for anything.
Personality: Darrah comes across as a very shy and reserved person and that is mainly due to her up bringing and the bad relationship that she has with her step-mother. She has a very low self-esteem and believes that anyone talking to her are only talking to her and paying her attention because they have to. She doesn’t believe that her life is of worth to anyone. The only time when she is really herself is when she is around the gymnastics team because they are all united by their one love, gymnastics. She is scared of starting conversations with people because she knows that she will be judged on what they say. Dee only has a very small group of friends and tries to stay out of the spotlight a lot at school. Her worst nightmare is being asked a question in class or forced to do something in front of people. She can be very naïve at times and she will believe anything that you tell her.
Extra Curricular Activities: Gymnastics, Newspaper.
Editorial: Darrah has heard of the ‘Players’ but has never really come into any contact with them at all. She tends not to make waves and tries not to be noticed so she is often passed by without anyone making any comments and she is happy with it that way. The only things that she really knows about the players are the things that she has heard. As long as they continue to leave her alone then she will be happy.

Name: Theodora Wright
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior
Theme Song: “Let Go” – Frou Frou
History: While it would be easy to write the story of Todd and Heather, it’s been told before. If you have ever sat through Pretty Woman, you’ve heard it before. Respected Businessman meets Call Girl. Businessman rents Call Girl out for a few days and, consequently, falls head over heels in love. The feelings are mutual. Call Girl gets makeover just in time for the wedding bells to ring. Aside from the fact that Heather looks nothing like Julia Roberts and had no silly ‘no lips’ rule, the movie pretty much sums up how it went. Now, what happens after the credits roll? Businessman continues to make money doing his business, becomes president of his corporation and occasionally strays away from his marriage with a twenty-something bottle blonde, but does so tastefully and normally claims to just be on a business trip. As for the former stripper? She turns into a Neiman Marcus attired soccer mom who dotes on her only daughter with a fervor unparalleled. She never turns a trick again and is only occasionally slandered at the office parties, those who do so being subsequently fired the next day. What more could she ask for?
Personality: Raised in the upper-crust WASP debutante world by a former prostitute, it is only natural that Theodora turned into a walking contradiction. Afflicted with perfectionist tendencies yet uncaring about the status quo, Theodora is one of those girls that stand out despite having the ability to fit in. She’s uncannily smart, with a high aptitude for math, English, science and every other subject, yet her intelligence almost goes unnoticed with her occasional ditzy comments making many believe she’s a junior Jessica Simpson. She is incredibly picky—about everything from boys to food—and appears to be of the highest maintenance when she is more of the go-with-the-flow variety. She’s social and outgoing, yet has a fear of rejection that often inhibits her from ever making the first, second, third or fourth move. She reapplies her make up, even when she’s about to go play a sport in the fiercest way possible. She appears to be a rather conservative individual yet can be found throwing back shots at a party. She is terrified of little dogs and people in costumes (think the Easter Bunny or Santa) yet is eager to jump out of planes and scuba dive. The only thing that really makes complete sense when you analyze Theodora is that she does expect to get her way and has yet to be disappointed.
Extra Curricular Activities: Girls Varsity Soccer (Co-Captain), Girls Varsity Cross Country, Varsity Track, Student Council Rallies and Traditions Officer, National Honor Society
Editorial: Theodora is by no means a romantic. She has a tendency to laugh out loud during all the wrong parts of romantic-comedies and habitually wears black on Valentines Day. In fact, her only two serious ex-boyfriends both claimed that she needed to be more sensitive about things like one-month anniversaries. This being said, does she find the cynical behavior of these oversexed boys to be the correct approach to high school dating? In a word: no. She doesn’t condone it and she certainly doesn’t fall for it. Theodora might not be a die-hard idealist when it comes to love, but even she finds their mating habits to be rather revolting.

What she saw, she got. In elementary school, she wanted a horse...daddy got what she wanted. So when she took interest in cheerleading and dance, her parents made sure she was the best. Roxie took classes and lessons from the best in town and in state.
By the time she hit high school, she was a shoe in for the cheerleading squad. Most people would say it was unfair that she got on the varsity squad freshman year, but she was the best. Plus money talks and Daddy made sure their was plenty offered to get his little girl on the best cheerleading team in school.
Although school she was Lil' Miss Popular, but when high school came along...she was truly at home. She hung around with the best, beautiful, and richest crowds of the school. Still to this day.

Name: Marjon Ruiz
Age: Fifteen 1/2
Grade: Sophomore
Theme Song: "I've Just Begun" - Britney Spears
History: When your mother got pregnant at sixteen and your father ditched you when she was eight months pregnant, there are two ways your mother will end up: A very easy and liberal mother who allows you to do whatever whenever as a teenager; and the mother who determinedly steers in the path of righteousness, eager to make sure that you never have to live the life she lived and that you never have to make the mistakes she made. Marjon's life is the latter. Her mother, Rosalee, found out she was pregnant two weeks before her seventeenth birthday. The father was a rich bitch, a trust fund babies clique extraordinaire. He tried to stick through it, his parents initially even wanted to pay for an abortion, but after eight months it was too late and the boy knew he wasn't going to throw his life away to be a father. He ditched and Rosalee brought little Marjon into the world and raised her all by herself. Rosalee has been trained to study hard since the beginning. Since Rosalee, a waitress at the local diner, doesn't have enough money for Marjon to get into an ivy league school, Marjon has to rely entirely upon her grades to get a scholarship. For her mother's sake, Marjon does try hard - super hard. By the time she was in eigth grade she was taking tenth grade level math courses and the first time she got her ranking and gpa, she was at the very top of the freshman class. After a rigorous summer spent in summer school, Marjon took all the necessary core classes, leaving only the amount needed for the rest of her sophomore year, or rather, her senior year. She plans on graduating two years earlier, however Marjon, like all seniors, has fallen ill to a case of senioritis. With freedom so close, Marjon might jeopardize it all for the chance to just be a normal teenager, and make mistakes, the same ones her mother did. What began as just a way to relieve herself from stress before the SATs has now become a sexual ritual, and one that works. She scored a 1560 on her SATs, and everytime there's a test and she relieves herself with sex, her scores are perfect. But now it's about more than just grades, it's about hormones and having fun and being girl and having a boyfriend. Well, ten boyfriends, to make up for all those years she spent studying in the library instead of dating.
Personality: Marjon has always been a very persistent and determined person, never erring and always dedicated and hardworking. She was punctual, turning in projects earlier and staying late after school for tutorials which she didn't even need. Though at the time, she was an adolescent, a thirteen year old who accepted what adults would say. If the WB said that you'd find true love with your boyfriend's best friend, it's gotta be true. She bought into everything, eating up the words and praise of her mother and teachers, and she would have become horribly naive if it wasn't for her intellect. As her reading matured, so did her opinions as they began to shape themselves. Being a freshman taking junior classes, she was exposed to people two years older, and those two years were the edge of innocence, and she just jumped right over it. Marjon's mind of her own has gotten her into more trouble than she realizes, and intellect doesn't always equal common sense. In the end, she's still just an impressionable teenager, questioning authority but never considering who authority really is. Is it her mother or the bandwagon of seventeen year olds (particularly Austen Somerville) telling her what to do, how to dress, who's the best in the sack, etc...
Extra Curricular Activities: National Honor Society, Math & Science clubs, Academic Decathalon.
Little Black Book: In the actual game, there have been three. Yes, Marjon's a noob, but she's not a prude. Hah.
Target: Marjon has been under the tutelage of vixen extraordinaire, Austen Somerville. Austen has shown the ropes and the rules, and even invited Marjon into her exclusive trust fund babies clique. Though Marjon isn't exactly rich, Austen has taken her under her wing anyway and introduced her to a luxurious lifestyle. In order to enjoy it further, only a wealthy boy will do. Her top two candidates are Julian Marlow and Zachary Lancaster, and though Bennett Rowsgrove isn't so bad either, she knows to keep hands off. Austen would kill her, and then kick her out of the clique. In that order.

History: The history of the Valleau family is fairly inconsequential, and more than a little lengthy, but somehow each of the older members of the family seems to find a willing enough ear to share it with. The real story of the Valleau family started somewhere in the south of France, but for the purposes of story-telling the real story began when Virginia Finnabogason and Jacques Valleau met in this same area in the south of France. The Finnabogason family had found themselves vacationing during the winter months in France, and the Valleau family was hosting a rather important and long-winded gala that no one enjoys going to but are staples in the elitist society they encompass. The Finnabogason family was invited, Virginia was obliged to go. She didn't mind because it meant a new outfit from the South of France and a distraction from the company of her family. Jacques was obliged to be at the dinner because it was his family hosting, but he neither cared nor complained. The high society life was perfect for the two when they met eachother, and their brief fling didn't bother anyone either. Two high profile families merged, leaving Virginia and Jacques with no choice but to marry eachother. Both were fairly attractive and didn't mind money marriages. Within the year the two had housed a wedding, with a 3 week honeymoon in Tuscany. Although their marriage had already been consumated, Virginia realized(quite conveniently) after their honeymoon that she was pregnant wit the soon to be first child of the family, Madison Valleau. Two wonderful years later Simon came around. The live's of the Valleau family went on much in the same way it always had. Social events, functions, and dinners were among the highest priorities of these people, and it wasn't until Simon was 5 that his family moved to Galveston Island, Texas. Simon knew the language, and he knew the customs, so the change in scenery was far from tragic for him. Until the past few years he hasn't had any inclination to go back to his birth country, either. The only reason he might want to now were the women he's heard about. He's heard that there are some spectacular beauties floating around the country. It was more a venture into the skirts of the locals than the culture, or the sentimental value.
Personality: Simon shares many of the attributes of the 'All American Boy' that the population of Galveston Island, Texas seem to treasure so much. Having lost his foreign tainting far too long ago for it to present a problem in his life, Simon knows what the population wants from him and has learned quickly to “give the world what it wants”. This high society facade his puts on sets him out to be well-mannered, articulate, thoughtful, complacent, and willing to take on the challenges the world might be able to throw at him. In many respects he just might keep some of those qualities through to the rest of his life, but one would also have to remember that Simon is a simplistic, self-serving jerk. Of course, Simon keeps his little quips to himself and lets the rest of the world think that he's just as empathetic and worldly as they might want to. Hell, if you want to think that he's just the opposite he might not care either. The conquests of a well known player might go on to explain just why he's so misguided. Why he never returns calls. Why he's never held a steady relationship, and why most girls find it fitting to keep themselves nipping at his heels. There could be some deep psychological stress, trauma, or deep-seeded secrets making him prove himself time and time again. They could be there. But then again, he could also, conceivably, be a very immasculate woman. It could happen. The fact is there are less layers to Simon than you'd think, and the ones that he chooses not to show or acknowledge for himself you aren't likely to to hear about.
Extra Curricular Activities: Varsity Football.
Little Black Book: There are countless skirts that Simon has chased. He hasn't bothered counting them. Mostly because the skirts he's chased have been little more than an assertion of his masculinity.

Name: Carlos Alvarez
Age: 36
Occupation: Owner of his own auto repair shop
Theme Song: Te Sigue Amando by Juan Gabriel
History: Carlos was the youngest son of a family of 8 brothers and sisters besides himself. His father worked as a mechanic but also knew how to fix just about anything around the house that needed fixing. He made sure to pass that on to his sons, he wanted to make sure they knew how to do things themselves instead of hiring someone else to do a job that they could do just as well and not have to fork out any cash other then the cost of parts. Carlos and his siblings were also encouraged to work hard in school....their parents knew full and well that a good education would get them further in life then just simply knowing how to be handy with some sort of trade. When he was 13 he met the girl that would one day be his wife even if he didn't know it just then....Veronica MacDonald. Over time the friendship and attraction between them grew and by the time they hit high school they were dating and Carlos could honestly say that he was genuinely in love with her. Senior year though proved to be a big surprise when he found out that Veronica was pregnant....sure he was terrified and confused at first...who the hell wouldn't be when that sort of bombshell is dropped on you when you're just in high school? But he thought things out and considering he wanted his child to know his father and he loved Veronica and wanted to do the right thing, he proposed to her and a few months later, they were married. Four months later, Roman was born and he couldn't have been happier or any prouder to have a son no matter how unexpected it was. Though the happy times soon started to fade away....between work and school....they just slipped further and further apart....bills piled in and frustrations turned into nearly constant bickering and finally Veronica told him she thought it would be better for Roman if they divorced...to spare him from the life of fighting and yelling. He agreed and they were separated soon after, having joint custody of Roman for a while but before long he was given sole custody of their son, though he definitely made no attempts to keep Veronica from seeing Roman. That was her son too and they weren't exactly on horrible terms so why be a jerk? He couldn't have been even if he had wanted to....he still loved her and could never have been such a d**k to her. Now that she has moved back to town...the past few years have continued to grow on him so to speak....he does honestly realize that he still is as in love with her as he always had been if not more, but part of him is afraid to let her know this with the thought that if it didn't work the first time, why would it be any different a second time around?
Personality: Carlos is a warm sort of guy....with a big heart that is glad to do whatever he can for someone he can help out. He does have a firey side to him that comes out from time to time....fortunately enough, that's a rarity.
Extra Curricular Activities: Besides tossing the ball around with Roman and tinkering with his car, watching tv and reading a good book tend to occupy most of his time.
Editorial: The game has never changed....just a new generation of 'em. He doesn't particularly agree with it, but that's their buisness to do as they will. He's just glad he has no daughters to worry about.

Name: Keren Epstein
Age: Twenty-Five
Grade: Teacher
Theme Song: "Surrender" - Ashlee Simpson
History: "Worries go down better with soup than without." Nana Epstein used to say as she slurped her Borscht, spewing little burgundy specks across the kitchen table. Keren had personally been apalled and almost too disgusted to hear what her Nana actually said that time, but Nana usually repeated herself. That was a typical Epstein family dinner. Nana Epstein spouting Jewish proverbs while the rest of them ate in silence. Even Noel Epstein, Keren's dad, was speechless around his mother, and he was the "man" of the house. Noel was a pediatrician, Yesmina, Keren's mother, was a midget house wife. Keren was always a daddy's girl, she actually abhored the thought of growing up to become her mother. While Yesmina was telling her little sister love stories as bedtime stories, Keren asked to know about the work place, about Noel's patients, about being successful and being in business. Daddy always said the economy relied upon the Jewish, so it was never to early to prepare her for the work world. Keren did, she studied long and hard, was a straight-A student, and was even going to apply to Princeton - and then Abram entered the picture. Abram just moved to America from Israel. His mother and Nana Epstein were compadres, like Nana Epstein and all of Palestine. Abram was twenty-eight, a perfect gentleman, a perfect businessman, and ever-so-Jewish. After Nana Epstein made her mind up about something, it was hard to sway her, and the Nana wanted the Keren and the Abram to get married. After a prolonged courtship, mostly due to Keren, the two were finally engaged and then married last year. However, Keren had recently gotten a job as a teacher at Ball High School, and she didn't want to leave it to turn into her mother. She insisted that she would work for just a little while longer, so that they would save up money faster and buy their own home and move out of Keren's parent's house. She also kept her maiden name because of her job as a teacher, though that's just an excuse, the reality is that she doesn't want to let that part of her go.
Personality: While her younger sister is the innocent dreamer, Keren is the analytical pessimist. Almost every aspect of her life is neatly organized in conjunction to some random equation. She's a bit neurotic about organization, which is why her family drives her nuts, imagine all those people stuffed into one little Jewish house. It makes no sense. Like those Yamakas. Small hats, big head! Keren is also a very independent person, she hates being told what to do and having to have people do things for her, yet not even do them the right way - it's insane! Like her husband - egads, why won't he just not touch her stuff? It's hers! Well, technically, theirs, but, whatever. The point is that Keren is anal (not in the Ian way) and a workaholic who has some issues with her inner pysche, because clearly she is using work as an outlet to get away from her home life, which means the sex probably isn't that great. Then again, Keren's never bought into any of that pyschology stuff, she... likes numbers. A lot. More than her husband.
Extra Curricular Activities: Sponsors Debate and Newspaper.
Editorial: Keren knows something is up with the upper classmen boys at the school, but right now she is going through a mid-twenties-crisis and she has little time to think about horny teenagers, but if they touch her little sister, they will serve detention until the day Nana Epstein dies, and that would be never.

Name: Duncan Walter "DW, Walt" Gareth
Age: 31
Teacher of: History and Social Studies
Theme Song: ...
History: Starting out in life Duncan was born to a 15 year old girl in the country side of Wales. Back then, times were different. Her parents didn't approve of the fact of her having a baby out of wedlock with a boy barely 18. The age alone made them unhappy...they forced a marriage on the two kids without much like from both parties. The father just graduated from high school when Duncan was born(named for his father and his great grandfather for the first and middle name)...his mother had to drop out of school to raise the baby they had. The family struggled to make end meet after that, but the babies one after one after one came till by the time Duncan was 18, he had eight younger siblings.
That was then when he decided to leave the nest so speak. College came next in the states. He managed to pay for school working three jobs to cover tution. Four years later, he graduated with a degree in secondary education.
At the age of 22 he got married. By the age of 28, he was divorced with two kids. Over the last few years, he has really just been teaching and doing his hobbies...as well as seeing his kids every other weekend two hours away. Two years back, he moved to town accepting a teaching position at the local high school for a little bit better pay than his last teaching job.
Personality: Duncan is what you call a smart ass, even as a teacher. He has an aura of being wise beyond his years. Looking out for himself sometimes. At times, he come off bitter...others friendly as they come. It just depends on his mood.
He is a teacher, but that doesn't mean he is perfect. Not by any means. He has his pit falls. He likes to have a drink or two. He enjoys a good curse word or two outside school walls. Sometimes he can even come off as looking out for number one. And he always goes with the winner.

Taken By: In Fair Verona
Name: Landon Hemingway
Age: Thirty-Three
Teaches: European History AP
Theme Song: "Karma Police" - Radiohead
History: How do you think Players was first introduced to Ball High School? Do you honestly believe that a football coach was meticulous enough to weave together such a beautifully depraved game? No, it wasn't Landon's idea, but when he and his friends were invited to a prestigous debate camp during his junior year, which took place at New York High School, they were introduced to the game that stole men's souls and would keep them as boys for the rest of their lives. They eagerly brought their knowledge of the game back to Ball High, and it has flourished well since then. Landon's pretty proud of what he's done. What if he hadn't accepted the invitation and declined so that he would be able to spend the summer drinking booze and then barfing it up later, and probably not even getting any. Instead he got to spread a school tradition, and now he gets to say that he's a veteran. After graduating (and placing second in his senior year at the end of the game, second to the high school quarterbacker, how typical...) Landon attended UT. By then, the game was put on hold. Attending an university was different from high school, and the girls were as nonchalant as they were about sexual intercourse. It was pointless to play the game and it seemed as if every boy had finally grown up. Landon had serious relationships during those years, none of which were filled with deception and lies and keeping score. That's when he dated Irene, a beautiful young history major. Landon switched majors from law to history for her, because he was just so smitten and so in love. They even got engaged, six months before graduation. The day he got off of the phone with his parents' blessing, he rushed to Irene's dorm, eager to tell her, just to find her fucking his room-mate. And all she had to say? "Sorry sweetie, but all women keep score." It was like karma, like Landon was getting what he deserved, except he never saw it that way. Stuck with a degree he didn't know what to do with, Landon ended up as a history teacher back at Ball High. Instead of learning from his mistakes, Landon felt a personal vendetta against the female race. A need to break them all in and just plain break them because of what happened to him. He resorted back to his Player ways, back to an immature teenage boy lusting after teenage girls, dying to "teach them a lesson" in more ways than one. They just never learn.
Personality: Landon's personality is almost hypocritical, it's too-faced. While he's lecturing he upholds the most mature and practical manner, pacing back and forth evenly while explaining the Reign of Terror to attentive dorks and scholars-to-be. Even around his fellow teachers hold a strange sort of respect for him, finding him witty and wise and passionate about what he teachers. With time, Landon really did grow fond of the subject. History always repeats itself, and Landon was living proof. Ironically, he misses the entire reason that students have to study history today - so that they don't repeat the mistakes of the past. However, after the last bell rings and school is dismissed, Landon is an entirely different person. He's ruthless and spiteful, filled with bitterness which escapes him in a burst of passion, usually in an act towards younger female students. They never seem to see the hate in the act, when he fucks them on top of his desk, with their idealism they think it's some warped form of affection. He probably shouldn't blame them, as he leads them on mercilessly by writing little remarks on their tests and papers and assigning them detentions for the most miniscule reasons. In a way he adores his girl students, they are the most intelligent in the school, however when they make the stupidest mistake by willing themselves to him, and then that respect is lost, and Landon has no remorse. It's all their fault, anyway.
Extra Curricular Activities: -
Little Black Book: At the end of his senior year in high school, Landon had been with thirty-six girls. From the time he started teaching to the present time, he's been with about seventy-five. That's more than a hundred in his entire life.
Target: Landon has graduated from playing vapid cheerleaders who don't even think twice before they'll sleep with you. They're boring, a thing of the past. Nothing stimulates him more than an intellectual and smart girl, particularly why he teaches an AP class. Irene was intelligent too, enough so that she felt as if she could do whatever she wanted to anybody. Landon is going to make sure that never happens again, with anybody. His favorite student is notable salutarian, Andromeda Forbes. She's probably his smartest student, and his most challenging. There's also Evanthe Ibsen, albeit a little strange, Landon finds her behavior charming. Sometimes he doesn't even know what to say in response to a girl like that, but she's always bringing amusement to him. At the other end of the educational spectrum is Riley Colburn, a girl who would rather not show up to class, giving Landon more than enough reason to give her a detention. After all, docile girls aren't fun unless they were stubborn to begin with. Maybe with Landon's influence, his best friend Jack Webster will finally do something about that little girl who keeps playing with him.

Name: Ryan Kluesner
Age: 26
Teacher of: P.E.
Theme Song: ...
History: Ryan was born to Chad and Ramona Klueser in San Diego, California over 26 years ago. Not the only child born to them that very night, he was the middle child born in the set of triplets. (Jessica was born two minutes before him...after that came the youngest by three minutes, Landis). The new parents were overstressed at first when they bought the three bundles of joy home seeing as they had never had any children before. They had been only married a year before hand. So it took some adjusting.
The first several years were finanicially hard on the young family. Chad had just graduated from college a couple of months with a degree in teaching before the triplets were born and struggled to find a steady paying job because of the rareness of finding teaching jobs near the area. He managed to support his family with odd jobs he did find. Ramona, on the other hand, was still in college during her sophomore year when she became pregnant. She had to end up dropping out of college just make ends meet.
Though it was hard on the family, they did make it through.
When the kids turned two, their dad did finally find a job teaching middle school, but they had to relocated to Santa Barbara. Their mother even began to attend college part time again. Things were starting to look up for the family. They felt comfortable enough when the kids turned nine to have another baby. This time they named her Jenna...two years after that, Ramona gave birth to a healthy baby boy, they named Riley.
Growing up Ryan was a happy little boy. He got in trouble like most kids his age, but nothing over the edge. He even discovered a love of football when he started to play in the peewees. It was the only place he truly felt was his calling, even as strange as that sounds, but outside sports, he was sorta thought as the slow one out of all the kids. It wasn't his fault really.
During the third grade, they discovered why he wasn't doing so well in school. They found out he had a learning disability. But he never let anybody know it outside his family and teachers. He dreads even till this day somebody will find out his deep dark secret. That he doesn't learn the same as everybody else....that sometimes it takes him longer to pick up things. He feels that if anybody else finds out that they will think he is a retard...even though he knows he isn't. Even in school now, he takes special classes...but all of his classes are mainstream, but they are co-lab(Where they have two teachers. One teacher is a special ed teacher and the other one is a regular teacher. The classes are mixed with regular and LD students.)
Anyways, everything was going fine for the family until a tragic event happened. When Ryan turned 12, his world came to a stop. While out for a drive, Chad was in a terrible accident. A drunk driver had collided with his car and killed him on impact. This crushed Ryan because he was the closest out of anybody else to his father. He shut everybody out and became cold for several months after his father's death.
By then there mother had graduated from college and gotten a degree business and opened her own coffee shop...so she was able to financial take care of her children with the death of Chad. She struggled with her own feelings, but she moved on after awhile...even the other kids did too, but it took Lucas forever to get over his father's death.
The thing that changed him the most was the day his mother remarried when he was 14. He didn't like the guy, but he never gave him a chance. He felt like his mother was betraying their father by remarrying. He never forgave her for that. Shutting out his new stepdad, he turned nasty and tactless. Not soon after, he turned into the guy everybody knows today. Going through high school, playing girl after girl. Drinking the pain away, but never letting anybody knows.
College came after high school. As per usual, Ryan was partier...hard core. He joined the usual frat and played college ball. Girls came and went...nobody caught his eye. No pro offers came his way, so he had to settle on physical education for a career. He graduated and got a job offer in Texas...where he is now, teaching high school P.E.
Personality: Back in high schol he was like this...You know this guy...yeah you do. Don't deny it for one minute. He is the one person everybody wonders why they even hang around half the time. Yeah, he thinks he has friends, but when you think about it. He seriously doesn't. Everybody is just friends with him because of the killer parties he throws. Popular by being the king parties type of guy. Sure he thinks he has friends and deep down he knows he is a complete ass w*pe, but does he care? Nope not one bit...well at least on the surface. Deep down he does have feelings, but he isn't exactly the type to know how to show them proper like.
Ryan could be a great guy if he knew when to shut his damn mouth up. Don't get me wrong, he does have some positive things about him. As I stated before he can throw great parties. He also can be there when you need him in bad situations. He might come off as only worried about himself, but when the chips are down he can be loyal as a mofo.
He speaks his mind even if it isn't that tactful.
Now that years have passed, Ryan still has that similiar attitude about him. Cocky, head strong, etc. etc...but with age came maturity. He still has some of the traits that he was in high school, but he has some added bonuses that make him less of an @ss.

History: Veronica MacDonald was born of both Irish and Mexican hertiage. Her mother was originally from Mexico, moving to the US when she was barely 18. Soon meeting Veronica's father at college...her father was foreign to the US himself. Originally from Ireland himself, he came to the states to attend college. They met and fell in love, dated for most of college...then two years after they graduated from college they were married in a small ceremony in Reno, Nevada.
The couple gave birth to their first born, Antonio, a few years after. Soon came Veronica and the years following after that...countless more offspring came after that.
She grew up in Reno, where she had a fairly adjusted childhood. Meeting her future husband at the age of 12 and they dated off and on till she was in college. During her senior year, they were wed. The marriage lasted five years and ended in divorce.
She graduated from college with a degree in Secondary education with a minor in spanish and had a job offer in Texas where she currently is now.
She has been single ever since her divorce. Every man that has came her way hasn't interest her much. Of course she has dated, but nothing has taken her fancy yet.
Personality: Her students can relate to her in a way they don't with most. She doesn't treat them like children. She knows most teenagers want to be treated with respect, so she gives them that, but if they don't respect her, she'll do the same as they would of her. Her whole belief you treat others as you want to be treated.
Most guys at the school whistle at her because she is one of the sexier dresser teacher at school, but she feels her attire doesn't affect her teaching or her value. Dressing sexy is just a way of expressing herself. Though her short skirts sometimes have made some of the other faculty wonder if she still thinks she is a teenager herself.
But she is a free spirit, but she can be straight to the point. She demands the most from her students and from people in general. She expects you to do the work in her class, but she makes her classes fun.
Coming off a bit sexual for most taste, she isn't really trying to do that. It is just the way she is.

Name: Jack Webster
Age: 34
Occupation: Gym Teacher
History: There are those promiscuous teenagers that make people seriously doubt that the teenage pregnancy rate is that high. Their actions often lead to the presumption that protection automatically means guaranteed safe sex without repercussions. Although Jack Webster fell short of contracting a disgusting disease, he did gain something often thought to be worse in some cases. The whole conflict merely boils down to this: boy meets girl; boy woos girl; boy and girl fall in love, and since sex is just necessary to have a loving relationship, boy and girl make the beast with two backs. Simple, right? The result was anything but simple. Jack Webster and Mia Gardone did lose their virginity together in that dreamt of, spectacular night of explosive passion, but they also lost prospects, even dreams. Although defying his parents wishes by even having sex in the first place, Jack did have morals. He wanted to keep the baby, hoping for Mia's help, but not outwardly demanding it. Teenage love wasn't enough to keep them together. Jack's desire to keep it ultimately meant severing all ties with Mia, since she wanted nothing to do with the baby. At the age of seventeen, Jack now had a bouncing, baby boy to take care of. Needless to say, the following years weren't exactly easy. With plenty of help with family, Jack got through college, pursuing a career contrasting sharply with what he originally wanted in high school: physical education. Jack always displayed an interest in Literature, imagining himself as an intelluctual professor at an Ivy League School. But imagination is quickly forgotten when reality makes its dreaded entrance. He settled for physical education, realizing the stress of more college education would hurt his son Philip more than help him. Accepting a position at Ball High School, Jack has been working there for about ten years. He deals with rampant hormones amongst his students as best he can, completely in touch with their many angst-ridden tribulations. The turbulent years of adolescence have only just begun to affect his own son, and after several years of relative peace between Jack and Philip, Jack expects that it can't possibly last for long.
Personality: Jack wasn't the typical, sleazy moron who wanted to plow anything that walked on two (particularly feminine) legs. Or at least he didn't show that animalistic desire. Jack had enough composure to repress those carnal urges, so despite the blaring similarity to desperately attempt to get laid that was found in most men, Jack was genuinely a nice guy, without displaying crude, appalling behavior or harboring those nasty, secretive vices. Most of his peers liked him, girls included, but not to the point where Jack earned the reputation of being the sweet, sensitive type. He still drank beer and partied, though not to the point of unconsciousness. He was just there, not completely ignored but not exactly well-known. He was one of the many, until word spread of his first sexual encounter. Of course, losing one's virginity is hardly cause for wide-spread excitement, unless it involved some pristine girl preaching abstinence until marriage. Or in Jack's case, a child. Suddenly, Jack was the focus of his peers' attention, at least for a week, anyway. In that short yet agonizing week, Jack precauriously walked the halls as he was met with sympathizing nods from guys and looks of death from girls. They basically meant the same thing: You're ****ed. Jack didn't exactly think along those terms. He quietly relinquished his former dreams in return for something else, and turns out, something more. Philip drastically alter Jack's life, but he's, more or less, the same guy. He still guzzles beer in between shouting mindlessly at the TV when the game's on. He just has someone to share it with.
Editorial: He knows of them, of course. He doesn't really care, since they don't directly affect him, as long as they aren't nailing a girl in the locker room. Of course, the thought of Philip being involved in the game has crossed his mind, but Jack only hopes that he knows better.
Crush: As a single parent in college struggling to get his degree, Jack barely had enough to keep up with his studies, let alone girls and relationships. Mia Gardone was his longest relationship until he had a stable job, and by then he was 27 with a ten year old kid. That was enoug baggage to scare anyone away. He's had a few relationships, each of which he takes seriously. He's learned from his mistakes, and despite his public demeanor, he generally does desire a serious relationship. Of course, he sometimes finds it a little difficult to stay serious when he's surrounded by immature teenagers, especially when some of the girls he's teaching, or specifically, coaching, attempt to flaunt 'their goods' to attract his attention. Yes, Jack can tell when a teenager is flirting with him. All he sees when he looks at his students are lawsuits waiting to happen. He cringes at the idea of being involved with anyone, especially since they're all Philip's age. That's just...wrong. Austen Rowsgrove makes it difficult to coach without losing a sudden loss of composure insuing. She is...extremely persistent. Jack recalls several instances when her hands strayed where they didn't belong. At one of those embarrassing moments, Selene Watson happened to see. The thing about Selene is, well, she seems to hate Jack with all her being. Jack's completely surprised by her disdainful treatment of him, and at first, Jack gave up trying to appeal to her. Now, he likes nothing better than to piss her off. His initial attraction to her pretty much disappeared after she opened her mouth. At least, that's what he claims.

Name: Selene Weston
Age: Twenty-Six
Occupation/Courses: Teacher // English, sophomore
Song of Choice: --
History: Selene was the salutatorian in her graduating class. She is still a little bitter that Daniel Mariano managed to edge her out by a couple of hundredths of a point in their GPAs. She went to college, of course. She finished her English degree at Brown University two years ago, and has since moved back home to Galveston to figure out what the hell she wants to do with it. Her parents are pushing for graduate school, but then, they were always pushing. She comes for a well-respected family in the Galveston community. Her father is in politics, and her mother is into throwing elaborate social functions for other politians' wives. Selene stays in a small loft apartment near downtown Galveston, which was finely furnished thanks to her father's wallet. She accepted a position at GBHS to pay atleast some of the bills. She never wanted to be a teacher, and she pretty much despises everything about it.
Personality: Selene comes from family that historically believes it is okay to look down their noses at people. She didn't see the need in breaking tradition. She is stuck-up, and sees money as the only worthy thing of judging someone's character. She has every intention of marrying a wealthly senator's son, and living happily ever after in Vermont drinking wine. Selene is intelligent and well-spoken, and isn't very much fun. She is rather stuffy. Her idea of a good time is watching CNN on a Saturday night, with her down Rufus. She doesn't really have any girl friends or major relationships to speak of, from the past three years. Most of her time is consummed with planning her picture perfect future, that she forgets to have a little fun in the present. And all her students hate her guts.
Extra Curricular Activities: --
Editorial: She has heard a little of this so-called game the senior boys like to play, but other than being a little disgusted, she doesn't involve herself in her students' lives. It isn't her job to worry about it.
Crush: Though she is aware of the many news stories of teachers getting in certain positions with students beyond the regular relationship that is expected by the school board, Selene would never dream of doing that. For one, she finds most of the male species replusive, and these boys are eighteen which makes her upchuck reflexes go up even higher, whenever one of them looks down her shirt. She would strangle each one of the football team for every crude comment that is thrown in her direction, but that would lead to their death and she just wouldn't look good in a bright orange jumpsuit. There is one particular male at Galveston Ball Highschool who manages to piss her off even more than the hormone ridden boys in her classes and that is the digusting gym teacher, Jack Webster. He might as well be one of the freshman boys from the childlike behavior he manages to display in her prescence. She would like nothing more than to slap him very hard in the face whenever she sees him.
PB: Katherine Heigl

I'm going to take two more characters. Saving Christopher Gorham and Rachel Weisz (both subject to change though) for a teacher.

People are already handing in profiles? Shucks.

Anyhoos... I'm joining but don't ask me who I'm reserving because I have no clue. But I can promise you that I'll have profiles in by tomorrow night.
