Name: Daniel Beckham
Nickname: Beck
Age/year: 17/Junior
Talents: Visual arts, specifically painting and drawing
History: Daniel was put up for adoption when he was 7 years old after an incident with his older brother that ended up with him (the brother) to be charged with assault and put in a mental hospital. His parents were worried that Daniel would turn out like their other son and so to avoid even more shame they got rid of him. His new family was very rich, but still quite trouble, a few years and another adoption later they split up. Daniel lived with his adoptive mom after the divorce and she was a very talented artist, teaching him everything she knew.
Personality: Daniel is a fun boy, always in a good mood and usually easy to please. He rarely gets annoyed or bothered by anyone other himself, as strange as it sounds. Ever since he was young he forced himself to achieve a high standard, making him the perfect candidate for James Francois Academy. Although he's often too hard on himself he knows when to take a break, and those times are usually when he's feeling the best. Daniel likes to keep moving, go on adventures and try new things. This restlessness can often get him in trouble but over the years the school's strict rules have started to get to him, which he really doesn't like.
Looks:
Other: Has insomnia and takes pills for it
Name: Zach Fraiser
Nickname (opt.): N/A
Age/year: 16/Junior
Talents: Musical Prodigy
History: Zach's life has been run by music for as long as he can remember. As a young child, he remembers his parents buying him a kiddie drum set for fun and then becoming extremely surprised as they realized Zach wasn't just banging away on it but actually making decent rhythms with it. Soon after this they decided to test out many different instruments on their peculiar son and when the realized he easily picked up on how to play each of these, they enrolled him in a visual performing arts school and in many after school activities. At first, Zach thought this was awesome. But then, he realized that he had no freedom. His parents forced him to practice all of his instruments, as well as his school, and also his peers. He felt as if everyone he knew only knew him because they wanted him for his talent and not him. When the letter from James Francois Academy arrived in the mail one day, his parents jumped on the offer and Zach smiled, but secretly he was hiding his utter disgust.
Personality: Zach tries hard to be a positive person but it doesn't do anything to hide his pessimistic personality. He is a good student only because his parents want him to be. But, Zach is generally a happy person and loves to make jokes.
Looks (real please):
Other (opt.): The only instruments he really enjoys playing is the guitar.

Daniel led the way to the office. The secretary was a fairly young lady with red hair pulled back into a tight bun. At first glance she seemed harmless enough but Daniel knew better. She smiled bitterly to Daniel and said, "Haven't gotten into any trouble yet, Mr. Beckham? I hope you don't plan on dragging this young man down with you." She smiled a genuine smile towards Zach.
"New year, new me, Nancy. It's my new motto," he said, then under his breath he said, "Kinda like your motto, 'new year, new nose'." He laughed at his own joke and said, "My friend here needs his schedule."

Zach glanced over at Daniel with his eyebrows raised, although he wasn't truly all that surprised. The whole ~sneaking into the woods thing~ wasn't exactly something that a well behaved student would do. He couldn't resist a smile at the boy's snarky comment then reached out and gently plucked his freshly printed schedule from the secretary's fingers. "Thank you," he said quietly as he turned and walked out of the office. His schedule was thankfully one that wouldn't overload him.
9:15-10:15: Gym
10:20-11:20: Math
11:20-12:20: Lunch
12:30-1:30: AP Science
1:35-2:35: Modern History
2:40-3:40: Guitar

Daniel read the paper over his shoulder and cringed. "Modern History? Gross." Personally Daniel wasn't much of a history junkie, it was his worst class. "So, we have two classes together? That's not too bad. But gym'll be harsh. That's where a lot of the... jocks get together and... do whatever jocks do together." It was obvious that Daniel wasn't a fan of them, and it was true because he wasn't the best at any sports. He could run properly but soccer or basket ball? No.
***
Zach poked Daniel's side and smirked. "Well then be glad it's my class and not yours." He then sighed heaily as he realized that his first class of his first day would require him to encounter possibly the meanest kids in school. Although, it was bound to happen eventually, he was hoping to at least delay it for a week. "Man, this sucks. At least I wont be alone though." He messed with the strap of his backpack nervously.

Daniel shrugged and led them to their home room where they would be for the first fifteen minutes. It was only for today so they could see who was in their class and so they could get assigned lockers. Luckily their home room teacher was nice, Mr. Larose. He was one of Daniel's favourite teachers. "Best teacher ever," whispered Daniel, gesturing to the good looking man standing behind the desk. "Super hot too."
