Today is June 12th, 2014. It's currently 9:00 a.m. in Arcadia, California and the sun is shining. The temperature is due to hit about 80 by mid-day.




Joshua "Josh" McCann


"This blows," Josh mumbled to himself as he tossed his shirt across the room. Somehow, when he did laundry, he managed to mix in one red pair of boxers that managed to turn his whites light pink. Rubbing his temples gently, Joshua was now fed up with himself. He refused to let anyone help him when it came to laundry and cleaning and this is what he gets. A silly mistake that definitely could have been prevented had he just let Tommy do his laundry as he offered. In most aspects, Tommy was more stubborn than he was. But, for whatever reason, Josh insisted on being a simply foolish hard-head when it came down to washing clothes despite his many issues with it.


Sorting through his other clothing, Josh pulled out a simple blue tee shit and pulled it on to wear with his jeans. Simply shrugging at his choices, Joshua sat back on his bed and scrolled through the messages on his phone. For a brief moment, Josh wandered if he could get away with texting Sophie but the thought quickly vanished. It was weird for him to like his best friend's sister and he was certain she would have reacted badly to his random text. The only time he texted her was when Tommy was in trouble and they would have to stick to that.


Spending several minutes in the bathroom playing with his hair, Joshua wandered casually into the kitchen and grabbed a box of cereal out of the cupboard. Pouring the Reese Puffs into a large bowl, grabbing the milk and a spoon, then completing his breakfast. Happily wandering over to the couch with his cereal, Joshua plopped down on the sofa and turned on the television. Forgetting, as usual, to put away the milk despite endless efforts on Thomas's part to stop this, Joshua became engrossed in the television program and his food within seconds.


Olivia "Liv" Green


Olivia's eyes flashed open, her hand grasping the sheet tightly. She had had that dream again. Glancing over at Nik, Liv smiled softly, immediately feeling comforted simply knowing he was still there. Leaning over slightly, Olivia kissed his forehead, leaning back to look at him once more. Then, making as little noise as possible, Olivia slipped out from under the covers, pulled on her silken lavender robe to cover herself, and wandered out of the room and to the bathroom as she did almost every day. Not necessarily to use it, but mostly just to recollect herself and avoid having Nikolai worry.


Minutes later, Olivia left the restroom and made her way into the kitchen with the intent to make breakfast. She opened the fridge and closed it multiple times before doing the same with their cupboards. It was time for another shopping trip. The cupboards were nearly bare and the fridge appeared to lack anything that looked even remotely appetizing. With a sigh, Liv made herself a cup of tea and took up a seat at the small table in the kitchen. She glanced briefly out the window before quickly turning her gaze back, practically blinded by the sun. It was quite obviously early in the morning but apparently it was later than she had thought.


Staring down at her tea, Olivia twirled the tea bag around some for several minutes. By the time she decided to drink any, Liv realized the liquid had become cool and was no longer very good. Groaning, Olivia carried the cup to the sink and drained the tea, watching it swirl down with the utmost interest. She really had wanted it but she had ruined it for herself. Taking a step back from the sink, Olivia sat back down at the table and began debating whether to go out for breakfast or suck it up and go to the store.

Codie Ryder

Codie woke up with a headache. All the alcohol she drank last night was getting to her. She was probably drunk since she couldn't remember much from last night. Guessing from the slight buzz in her head, she also probably took a few pills. All she could remember was some guy that caught her eye at the club last night. His name was Connor or something. Codie believed that she went to highscool with him. She lifted her sheet and slowly got up to stretch. Codie covered her mouth as she yawned. She came home late last night and barely got any sleep.


Codie combed her hair and threw on a lace crop tank and a pair of highwaisted jean shorts. She then made her way to the kitchen. She had no appetite and wasn't hungry at all. She took a seat at the kitchen table and buried her head in her hands. She was exhausted and had a bad headache.


Her mother was still alseep in her bedroom. Codie slowly got up from her chair and walked to the cabinet. She took out a few benadryl pills and dry swallowed them. She took a cup of hot water and took a few sips.

Nikolai "Nik" Ravida

Nikolai's eyes fluttered open to the rays of sun shining through his window. He rolled over to see the other side of the bed empty. Olivia, his girlfriend, must have already awoken. He stood and stretched.


Nik changed into a white v-neck t-shirt and a pair of jeans. He wandered into the kitchen and saw Olivia sitting at the kitchen counter. He walked over behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.


"Morning, love. Anything for breakfast?" he asked. Nikolai leaned over to give her a kiss on her cheek.

Thomas 'Tommy' Archer

Tommy woke up with a sudden, desperate hunger for eggs.


He didn't even like eggs that much. They were nice and all, but when he'd begun learning to cook around age twelve, he'd used so much recipes involving eggs. He'd boiled them, he'd scrambled them, he'd poached them, and even though the end result was always satisfying enough, eggs had gotten really boring after a while. They were tasteless. And he hadn't wanted eggs for a good six years.


As he rolled out of bed, the hunger slowly subsided. He made the bed first, even though that was 'such a gay thing to do' according to a friend at work, but his mom still cleaned his room for him. The dude was a slob, so Tommy felt he was a bit biased. But he liked this apartment, and wanted to look after it. He especially liked living away from his father. And Josh wasn't exactly the most organised dude, but he was still his best friend, and living with him was quite cool.


He wandered out of his room, in his mind settling on just eating some cereal and maybe buying eggs in time for lunch, but he spotted the milk carton from afar. It stood out in the quite clean kitchen, and he let out a groan. Moving over quickly, he picked up the carton and placed it back on the shelf on the fridge, his gaze flickering towards the boy on the couch, his eyes glued to the TV screen.


"Josh, how many times have I told you not to leave the milk out? I mean, come on, it gets warm and who likes warm milk in the morning?"


He leaned against the counter, saddened by the thought that he had to wait for the milk to get cold before he could have cereal.

Connor Bates




Kicking the blanket aside, Connor rolled out of his bed wearing nothing but a pair of boxers. Last night was insane, he wondered how he got home after drinking so much shots, Connor pulled himself out of his thoughts when the phone started ringing. "Ello." He answered with his usual greeting, "Yo Connor, what up man... I've been expecting a 'thank you' call." Erin's irritating voice replied, Connor rubbed his face, frustrated, "ok, thank you. Now, What do you want?" "Well, you did break my phone last night, and i can't exactly do anything without my phone..." "alright, fine, I'll get you a new one. Bye." Connor ended the call before Erin gets anymore ideas of what he should get in return.

"Codie... Who's she." Connor mumbled as he scrolled through the contact list while having breakfast, "sounds familiar... Oh wait... Codie as in, Codie Ryder?" He took a sip of coffe then puts his phone away.​

Anabelle

Annabelle was still sleeping like she always do,she always end up going to a party and getting home late. Anabelle's alarm went off,she would jump out of her bed and ends up falling on the fall. She would stand up and rubs her head and would walk her way to the bathroom. When she puts both hands on the sink,she would pick her head up and realizes that her hair was all messed up already. She would get her brush and would brush her hair to make it Stright and would put it in a pony tail. She would then go on the shower and enjoy the water that goes though her body and bathing her self. When she got out she would grab her towel and would walk to her bedroom to get dress. She would put on a Black tank top on and a Black Sweatshirt over it and would put on Black Pants with Black Shoes on. She would walk downstairs and Make some feral and Milk and wondering how to start her day.​
