Realistic or Modern Oberlin Academy Reboot (Accepting as always!)

Oberlin Academy

Our History

Oberlin Academy was founded in 1904 by Chanelle Oberlin, one of the few women of her time to open a school successfully. As a sufferer of bulimia and Bipolar Disorder herself, Chanelle wanted to open a school for those who were different in similar ways to the way she was considered different. It was taken over by her daughter, Ania Oberlin, in the 1960's and then by Tricia Robinson in the late 1990's to the present. During her time, some renovations were made as well as the addition of a beautiful library and renovated dorm rooms. It is not only an academy, but also a safe haven and is located in Fresno, California behind a lush grove of trees, away from prying eyes. You know you're there when you approach the black steel gates and can see bright flowers circling the center.

Aurelia Driscoll

​

Aurelia felt extremely nervous at her new school, but she had everything she needed in her duffel bag. Outfits? Check. Her medicines? Check. Everything else she wanted? Check. So why was she feeling so awkward? She was probably no different from many other people and that relaxed her slightly. However, the thing that really bothered her was that she was placed in this boarding school specifically for people like her, who weren't considered normal. It especially bothered her that she was three hours away from her family and friends. She walked into the large room, putting her bags to the side and examining a place to sit. She saw one table to the far right of the room and sat there, seeing that she was the first student there.

Adelaide sat outside the event room overcome with anxiety. She thought she could do this but felt as if she was about to have a panic attack. She hated going to new schools. She dropped her duffel bag and leaned against a brick wall, taking out and lighting a cigarette to help with her anxiety.

Keith Fletcher

Keith stood at the entrance to the campus to take a few deep breaths to let his hyper vigilance calm down a bit. In the past he had tried to actively suppress it but no matter how much effort Keith used, it was always still there. It was tiring, especially being in a new place and around strangers, to have your subconscious alerting you to everything little thing out of place as a threat and then having to consciously sift through the information to figure out if it actually is a threat. So Keith accepted it and was able to put most of the information intake to the back of this thought process but it still affected his sleep, when he was unable to consciously dismiss 'threats'.

'Jeez, how long will it be before I get used to this place?' Keith thought as he shifted his book bag to a more comfortable position before going in search for the school's Event Room. It didn't take him long as the signs showed the way. Nodding at the blonde girl who was leaning against the wall outside, Keith went inside and picked a seat that was closest to the center of the room and acknowledged the another blonde girl with piercings in the corner of the room before taking a manga out of his bag. The manga wasn't his first choice in reading but it allowed him to pay attention to his surroundings.

Kiara walked in the room nervously. All the stuff she brought was a huge duffel bag and her boxing gear. She sighed and looked at her shoulder and saw her boxing gloves hanging on her shoulder. She then faced forward and saw only a few students. 'Wow I must be early' she thought.

He sighed and forced himself off of the floor and onto his feet. He continued on with his morning routine before heading downstairs and putting some bread in the toaster. His house was empty, as usual, and the silence was beginning to get to him. Though most kids his age would, he hated having an empty house to himself so often. He hoped his mom would soon get over this guy and come back for a bit before disappearing with the next. They hadn't gotten along for a few years, but that didn't mean he didn't miss her.





Erik's toast's sudden popup startled him, causing him to jump a bit. He sighed and rolled his eyes before grabbing the toast and pouring himself a cup of orange juice. After he finished eating he poured half a water bottle with vodka and threw it in his bag. He then headed out and soon arrived at the school. He walked in and looked around at the people who had already arrived. He took two sips of his "water" before noticing two cute blondes.Though, one in particular caught his eye. It took him a few moments before realizing who she was. A goofy smile grew on his face and his eyes lit up, someone he knew was such a relief.





"Aurelia!"

Adelaide finally calmed down enough to to put out the cigarette and walk through the doors with her duffel bag. She didn't recognize anyone so she just walked up to a girl with boxing gloves. "Hey my name is Adelaide" with her hand out

 

[CherryKisses]

Kiara was to busy on her phone, to notice the girl. She finally looked up to see a blonde girl with her hand stretched out. "Oh Hi I'm Kiara" she said while getting up to shake the girls hand. @LindsMagee

 

[LindsMagee]

(Sorry I didn't get notifications)


After shaking kiara's hand she looked around. "So do you know anyone around here?" @Tola

 

[LindsMagee]

(Do you know the dorm mates yet?)

Aurelia Driscoll

​

Aurelia saw a few people enter. She noticed two girls, one blonde and another with black hair, who began to speak to each other. Nodding at a boy who was now reading manga, Aurelia felt less nervous but also bored. In the meantime, she twirled her blond shoulder-length hair around her fingers delicately. Suddenly, she heard a very familiar voice call her name. She turned her head hesitantly, but quickly noticed the boy who looked at her. His dark hair and blue eyes were too notable to miss. A large smile spread across her face. "Erik!" she exclaimed all-too-happily. She got up from her chair and walked over to him. "Wow, what a small world. How's life?" she asked him in her normal kind manner, a bit confused how he ended up in Oberlin, but it didn't matter. A familiar face was always welcoming.

"Nope not at all" Kiara looking around for any familiar faces. "Do you?" She asked Adelaide. @LindsMagee


(I didn't get a notification either sorry)

 

[MoxxyMoxx]

Daniel Jackson, or Danny as he prefers, walked through the Academy. This was his first time at the school and he was nervous. Not anxiety nervous but a normal nervous. He popped open the bottle cap and poured some pills into his hand before swallowing half a dozen pills. Those would make him feel a bit better even if he was misusing them.

 

[LindsMagee]

"Nope not at all" Kiara looking around for any familiar faces. "Do you?" She asked Adelaide. @LindsMagee
(I didn't get a notification either sorry)

"I don't either. It makes me anxious" Adelaide said "I just want to go to the dorms and get my room set up."

 

[CherryKisses]

Kiara smiled at the girls answer. "All I want to do is leave this place" she sighed, "But since I can't I'd rather go to the gym here and kick box" She said while trying to light up their moods. She though about when she was told by her parents to come to this school. Sure her other school was no better, but she highly doubted that this school would be different. @LindsMagee
