Realistic or Modern Summer Vibes [9 SLOTS OPEN]

I smiled more as she spoke to me. "Of course of course. It's nice to meet you Miranda." I said to her happily as I gestured for her to head in first before me. I could tell she was taken back by my kindness. Most people were when they saw the big bad muscular guy be kind sweet and gentle, but I was used to it all so it didn't effect me that she was shocked by my kindness. After she went into the house i followed her my bags and hers In my hands as I looked around the foyer. "Dang this place is nicer than my sisters." I said to my self as I looked around before looking to Miranda and I smiled. "Want to go pick a room now? I'll carry your bags there for you." I said to her with a beaming smile

Miranda-
The urge to be suspicious was definitely still there, but he was genuine, there was hardly a doubt about it. "It's nice to meet you too." I answered, finding that I really meant it. I took a moment to look around when he did, absorbing the comment about his sister. Rich family then? He didn't exactly seem the type, but Ethan had already shown that he didn't exactly conform to my expectations. As for the house, I didn't take as much delight in it as he did. The place wasn't exactly sparse, but it looked very staged, I was almost afraid to touch anything and it reminded me of my childhood in an unpleasant way, pristine spaces where i would be punished for leaving a trace. I wasn't too worried though, I would be more comfortable once this place looked more lived in and with so many people in once place that was bound to happen quickly. Picking out a room would also help out with that. "Yeah, thank you. We should pick yours first"

Suddenly I feel very, very alone. Ethan's too busy talking to our newest roommate, Miranda (who hasn't said two words to me, by the way). The other guy in the foyer hasn't even told me his name. Then, I wander towards the kitchen and immediately feel a ping of jealousy when I see Lex flirting with Alyssa. I mean, I know he's not technically mine or anything but I really thought we made a connection when I first got here. To see him already flirting with another girl is just...disheartening, I guess.

I silently make my way out the back door towards the pool area, where I can be alone with my thoughts. I slip off my flip flops and sit on the edge, letting my feel dangle in the water. I honestly thought I was over these mood swings and sudden bursts of depression. It's like they never go away, no matter what kind of setting I'm in. I figured being here would somehow "fix" that but I guess people never truly change...

My suicide attempt, at age seventeen, put me back in rehab and ever since then I've been stone cold sober. I've avoided using drugs and alcohol to cope with my mental issues or emotional stress. It's tough, and being in this situation is making it even tougher. I'm surrounded by all these different urges and impulses and I feel like I'll never be able to let my guard down. Maybe this whole experience is gonna be harder than I thought...​

I immediately shook my head a little and spoke. "Oh nah I'll wait till everyone else has chosen." I told her with a smile before speaking again. "But anyways lead the way and I'll follow. After that I want to take a dip in that pool." I told her excitedly as i looked to the stairs and waited for her to head into the house before i followed. I knew i was gonna have a good time in this place. Though i didn't plan to drink much mostly because of my profession. I had also seen a glimps of the girl that had answered the door, Blake I'm pretty sure it was sitting at the pool looking a little down. I figured she wanted some attention and I planned to talk to her more later to cheer her up

"It's only noon," I replied to Lex's comment on my lack of drinking. "I'll save the partying for later." The guy then said he was single. I proceeded to assume that he was looking for a hook up. Was I? No. Not yet, anyways. "We should call rooms," I said. "I want to sleep somewhere nice." Anywhere would be nice in this house, though.

Location: upstairs

It all happened so fast, people came by, I got nervous, and internally panicked. It was like I couldn't handle the social pressure and had to escape in the only way I can, upstairs. As soon I was free from everyone else, I realized I may have made a horrible first impression. Opening the door, not saying a word, avoiding all human contact, and running upstairs, way to go me. I'm going to be living with these people for the summer, I'm off to quite the start. I shrug knowing it can't be helped. At least I can choose a room while i'm up here.

After a little bit of wandering, I stumbled upon a smaller room on the second floor(suite 6 [hopefully no one has taken it yet]). Fit with access to a balcony via sliding door. Perfect. It's small enough to be deemed cozy, and the view must be beautiful as well. Proceeding the tossing of my things onto the bed, I open the sliding door to be accompanied by a soft cool breeze. Taking a deep breath, I've managed to relax finally. Regardless how nice it is up here, I have to confront everyone. That's gonna suck.

 

[BedazzledBlue]

"Whatever, suit yourself," I shrug at Alyssa. Can anybody say snooze fest? "I already picked out my room so I'll just check you later," I say dismissively, walking off and letting her do her own thing. I look out the huge, ceiling-to-floor windows and spot Blake sitting outside by the pool. I hadn't even noticed her walk by. What's that girl's deal anyway? She seems really moody for some reason.

I head outside with the Vodka bottle in hand, slide my Converses off and plop down next to her, dipping my feet in the water. "Hey, you okay?" I ask, noticing how down she suddenly seems. "You sure you don't want some?" I hold out the bottle to her. "Might take the edge off..."

Blake

Oh, God. My crush is sitting next to me, offering me...alcohol. What am I supposed to do? I look down at the Vodka bottle, just sitting there all enticing. I want is so bad I can practically taste it. I mean...what is one sip gonna hurt? It can't be that bad, right? I've controlled myself for a whole year, I'm sure I have enough willpower to not turn into some raging alcoholic.

I immediately take the bottle and put it to my lips. I can feel the familiar burning sensation of the alcohol sliding down my throat and hitting my chest, and I instantly start to feel better. That's what the liquor does to me - it makes all my problems go away. Atleast for the moment. I know I shouldn't be drinking but I really don't wanna be a Debbie Downer on my first day here. And like I said, what is one sip gonna hurt?

Because now one sip is turning into two, and two is turning to three...I can barely control myself and before I know it I'm practically guzzling the thing down. It's been so long and it tastes so good.

I suddenly remember Lex sitting next to me and immediately collect my composure. God, this is embarrassing. What the hell am I doing?

"Sorry," I say, wiping my mouth. Calm down, Blake, calm down. "Umm...I saw you talking to Alyssa," i comment, trying to change the subject while sounding casual about it. "Do you like her?"

[BedazzledBlue]

Damn, she can drink. Usually I'd dig that but I'm not trying to get this girl plastered already. "Woah, slow down," I say, taking the bottle out of her hand before things get out of control. "And uh...I barely even know her," I say, answering her question about Alyssa. Where did that come from? I really hope Blake's not one of those clingy, emotional chicks because that's the vibe I'm getting. I don't have time for that shit, especially not this summer. And I JUST met her not even an hour ago, which makes this even more awkward. "Why do you ask?"

Lex left (maybe I should've drank faster...), and as I walked away, I noticed that Lex was now talking to Blake. Why did I notice this? I dunno, maybe it was because these were the only two people I knew by name so far. I took a small tour of the first floor, and found only one suite. It had a big bed... a tv... a morning bar... Why a morning bar in the suite closest to the kitchen? Shouldn't it be in rooms further from the kitchen? Ah well. Oh, and it also led to a lanai.... woah... I looked in the private bathroom. It had a bathtub... and a walk-in shower... this place was amazing! I walked upstairs and took a tour of that, and upstairs again and took another tour. All the rooms had big, amazing bedrooms with tvs and huge-ass beds (two suites had bunk beds!). There were other awesome rooms, like a THEATRE ROOM! A theatre room!!! I knew I was supposed to choose a room, so I decided that I wanted either the bedroom on the first floor or one of the suites with the bunks. Whichever one wasn't called by others yet, I guess. I proceeded to sort of wander around the kitchen again, since I wasn't sure what to do next.

 

[Rainzen]

Miranda-
I still wasn't exactly sure what to make of this guy. Wait, wasn't there a girl here a second ago? And I thought I saw a guy too? They must have run off to claim rooms or something. As far as rooms went, I had seen the show before and while I didn't know the layout of the house, I did know there were rooms on the third floor. I didn't really know why it was but I liked to be high up, there's a reason I climbed 23 flights of stairs to get to my dorm freshman year. "Third floor?" I suggested, coming inside and heading up the stairs, resisting the urge to take my bags back rather than walk up two flights of stairs carrying nothing while he had both sets of luggage. I had been raised well enough to know that that would be considered more of a faux pas than just letting him carry them. At least I had packed light.
The first room I looked into had a king bed, access to the patio balcony, and no one else's stuff in it. Good enough for me, I didn't see much of a reason to inspect them all and if Ethan was going to follow me with my bags then there was no reason to make him deal with that. "This seems nice." I commented, walking over and opening up a window. It overlooked the pool two stories below, where two roommates were lounging. I should take Ethan up on his offer to go down, and at least meet the other people in the house. "I can meet you down at the pool after I change if you want?" I internally kicked myself for just sort of assuming he would want more company, specifically mine. "It seems like two other people are down there, it might be nice for a bunch of us to get together." I tried again, and that seemed better.

Blake

"Because I really like you," I blurt out, the alcohol already taking its toll. God, there's no way I would of said that if I was sober. "I know that sounds crazy but I just felt this connection from the very first moment I met you. Please don't think I'm weird—" I let out a small burp. "Oops, sorry. But I have a huge crush on you for some reason."

[Daniel Reaving]

I smile as I started up after her. He could tell she was thinking about the luggage but I had it perfectly fine. Caring it Up the stairs was quite easy and it didn't take her long to pick a room which just made my job easier as I walked into her room and gently set her bags next to her bed. Hearing her words about the pool I spoke. "Yeah sure! That sounds fun! Is it alright if I leave my bags in your room for now? I'll take them out once I get my room I promise." I told her as I set my back pack near the Door then set my small duffle bag on her bed. Unzipping it I pulled out a pair of black MMA fighting gloves, as well as bandages to wrap my hands and ankles. I knew there wouldn't be a need for them but I never went anywhere without them so here they were. After I set them down I pulled out my shorts and smiled at her as I put everything back besides the swimming trunks then zipped the duffle bag up and tossed it next to my other bags before speaking. "I'll go change and meet you down there." I said to her before exiting the room.

I then headed to the second floor and went into one of the empty bathrooms and changed into my trunks before I undid my hair. After I did that I put the hair tie around my left wrist and smiled as I went to one of the rooms that had a door to the balcony over the pool. Smiling as I went through the room and out to the balcony were I looked over the railing at the pool. Making sure it was the deepend I was over before I chuckled a little then yelled out. "Look out below!!" Then jumped over the railing with a loud holler of excitement, immediately curling into a ball as I dropped into the pool with a massive splash into the water. Luckily I had landed far enough away to barely get the others wet with the splash. But god was that fun! As I came up I whipped my long hair back behind my head and opened my eyes with a happy smile. "Hey!" I called to the two by the pool with a chuckle as I looked around a little more before dipping my head under the water and whipping it back to get the hair out of my face.

Uh...what the hell?? Why do girls have to make everything so complicated? I'm here to have a good time, not settle down and get married. "Look, Blake..." I say softly, trying to break it down to her in a nice way. "You're a cool girl. And beautiful, on top of that. But you can't like me, you barely even know me. And no offense but I'm not really looking for anything serious this summer." My honesty usually gets me in trouble but I rather tell the truth then lead people on. I don't know what it is but I'm virtually incapable of lying. And yeah, don't get me wrong, I'd definitely hook up with Blake...but she has to know it probably won't be anything more than that. I don't want a relationship or anything of that nature. "Also, you seem kinda drunk," I add. "Maybe this is just the alcohol talking..."

Before she can answer, some guy jumps from the second floor balcony (which is pretty fucking awesome, I must admit) and cannonballs into the pool right in front of us. Luckily he's far enough away that he doesn't get us all wet, or otherwise I'd be pissed.

"That was pretty badass," I call out to the unknown guy. He seems cool enough, especially after doing a stunt like that. "I'm Lex. Who are you?"

Miranda-
I watched as he unloaded boxing gloves. So he was one of those guys who was into fighting, I hadn't expected my initial assessment to be so on the nose. It was weird trying to reconcile that with his personality though. Well, we had a whole summer together, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. I was about to suggest he just use the ensuite bathroom but he had already disappeared. Alright then. I dug in my duffel bag for my swim suit. I wasn't sure about actually swimming, but either way I was desperate to get out of these clothes, they're the same ones that I wore for the drive yesterday. Yoga pants and white tee shirt, not the best impression. I wasn't sure meeting other housemates in a yellow bikini was a better one, but it's not like I was going to put on jeans to go to the pool. I threw a sundress over it anyway and headed down barefoot.
When I opened to door to the patio and the pool, the three seemed to be doing introductions, so I sat down beside the blonde girl who looked familiar from the foyer earlier and let my feet hang in the water.

Location: upstairs
Status: keeps socially and physically messing up....badly

After a small amount of time to recover, I finally feel relaxed. Usually I would start taking pictures for memory sake, but this time, I start setting up my computer on the nearby counter. This should be good, computer setup? Check. Comfy bed? I had this marvelous idea to do a full speed dive into the bed to check it's comfort. It was probably the worst idea I had all year since I ended up, not only jumping too late, but bounced like a skipping stone, and slammed into the far nightstand by the window. Hitting the nightstand, the lamp on the nightstand and the wall at around the same time, causing me to knock over the lamp, breaking it. It hurt. A lot. Bed Comfiness? It'll have to do. It didn't take me long to realize I broke the lamp since I practically landed on it. Only one word could escape my mouth,"ow..."

After a little bit of laying there, I finally earned the strength to get up after messing up so bad. Good job me, I not only had a bad first impression, but also caused attention to yourself. The exact opposite of what I need right now. God, i'm sore all over, and my back hurts like a bitch. I wonder, if this place had Ibu (Ibuprofen), where would it possibly be? Downstairs, seemed to be the best option I came up with, and so, I headed out my room doors, and toward the stairs.

Blake

I feel tears stinging my eyes at Lex's response. Why am I getting so emotional? I hate being like this. I don't even know this guy yet I'm pouring my heart out to him. And he obviously doesn't feel the same way, which makes me look even more desperate. Maybe I misread things earlier?

And this is exactly why I have a love/hate relationship with alcohol. I love the way it makes me feel but I hate the way it makes me act. I knew I shouldn't have drank that Vodka earlier. I'm supposed to be stronger than that, yet I gave in to the first sign of peer pressure. I threw away my whole last year of progress, just to impress some boy who doesn't even like me. I'm pathetic.

Right when I'm about to respond, I look up to see that Ethan guy from earlier...and he's literally jumping from the second floor railing. Before I can scream out "NO!" he's cannon-balling into the pool, thankfully landing safe and sound. He then breaks the surface, flipping his long hair back behind his head and opening his eyes with a cheerful smile. "Hey!" he says.

I feel my heart melting. I honestly can't help but admire how gorgeous he is, even with all the tension between me and Lex just now. And he seems so...happy. I wish I could be that carefree.

"Wow, that was amazing!" I can't help but gush, wiping my eyes for any tears threatening to spill down my face. The last thing I need is either of these guys seeing me cry, especially Lex. How embarrassing was that whole exchange earlier? I cant stop thinking about it, even with Ethan here now, and I still feel really depressed.

Suddenly, the blonde girl from earlier comes outside in a sundress, making her way towards us. She's really pretty, but I can't help but remember how she ignored me in the foyer earlier. Hopefully she's not stuck up, even though that's the first impression I got from her. "Hi," I say once she sits down right next to me, putting my best "happy" face on.

It's weird, but even surrounded by three other people I still feel really alone...

The trip down here had been hell. I had a child kicking my seat and screaming the whole time. God was it a shit show. But now I had arrived at the house, a happy smile on on my face as I stepped out of the taxi, handing the drive some money before i headed for the front door. Hearing people out back i figured why the hell not and just walked in. Closing the door behind me and setting my stuff down I headed into the kitchen to be immediately met with a very attractive woman sitting at the counter I smile and walk up beside her leaning on the counter as I do. "Hey cutie." I said with a soft playful smirk to her. It was immediately clear to me it probably wasn't the best idea but... fuck it I'm gonna go for it.

Miranda-
Christ these people were talkative. Why on Earth had I agreed to this show? I was just not friendly enough for this. Well, no use getting labeled as the bitch on the very first day. She didn't seem bad overall, maybe a little shallow, likely a beach bum type. She looked just like all the American girls they would show on t.v in Kyoto and seemed like she belonged on a movie, not in front of me. "Hey." I answered, taking a second look at her. She seems to be recovering from some kind of emotional turmoil. Oh god, the drama wasn't starting already, was it? Could I get a full nights sleep before we started earning the show some ratings? She also probably expected more than just a half-assed acknowledgment. I very much did not want to deal with social niceties today, but it's not like it was hard to introduce myself. "I'm Miranda."

 

[Daniel Reaving]

I immediately chuckled happily as i swam over to the others. "I'm Ethan." I said to the guy named Lex before I sent a smile at the two girls, mostly to Blake though because I had seen her sad earlier. "Hey could someone go grab me a beer and a towel?" I asked as I swam to the edge of the pool beside Miranda where I put my arms up and rested my chin against my arms as I looked to the three. "So seeing as how we will all be spending a lot of time together why not get to know each other?" I suggested to them happily while also still hopping someone would grab me a beer. I didn't want to track water all through the house while finding a towel or the beer so that's mainly why I asked

Miranda-
Why couldn't he get his own damn beer? I thought with annoyance. But he had been nice enough to me earlier, the least I could do was get up since I was mostly dry. "Sure." I wasn't really invested in the conversation and was mostly dry anyway so I got up and headed into the house. It was hot enough out that my feet were pretty much dry by the time I got in, and if I left a few footprints, it was a rebel against the pristine, untouched surroundings. I nodded at the two women in the kitchen, neither of whom I had seen before, but didn't bother to introduce myself. Instead I went straight for the fridge and, jackpot. I found a beer and a mikes hard lemonade. "A bunch of us are by the pool if you want," I informed the women at the counter, snatching a towel from the rack by the door. Wasn't that handy? I didn't say anything when I sat back down on the ledge by the blonde girl, holding out the beer bottle. I had only been gone about a minute, I couldn't have missed much.

Carmella Becker -
I swallowed hard, my mouth was incredibly dry. I furrowed my eyebrows and let go of the steering wheel of my rental car since I had been parked for five minutes I didnt need to grip it any longer. So from there a shook out my hands out trying to ease myself into a relaxed state. I pushed out my lips and shoved air out from them. " Alright... Carmella lets go." I spoke to myself and with a fierce motion I paraded myself out of the car swinging the door open and shutting it just so. But when I reached the door I stopped. My eyes trailed from the big glass doors to the surrounding walls. Never in my life could I have dreamed to stay in a house as nice as this and I havent even been inside. In Detroit, Ive never gotten to experience this sort of life, I grew up in an apartment that was probably as big as one of the bathrooms in here. From this point I got self concious. Was I underdressed? Would a grey backwards hat, white tight fitting t-shirt, black gym shorts and white sneakers (that arent actually white from all the years of wear.) make the cut? Although I did reassure myself through the thought that my sister did my make up and that was acceptable. So I allowed myself to reach for the nob and enter the building... well not really building, but actually my home for now. My jaw hung practically to the floor as I wandered in a dream like state around the house. Everything was so pristine, It was almost as if I touched anything with completely clean hands it would still leave a dirty mark. When I walked in I swore I saw cars outside so I must have been kind of late in arriving. Yet inside I hadn't encountered anybody yet. So I peeked around the rooms, walking on tip toes as if I was a guest and this wasn't a house I would be living in. Eventually I found the mass of people at the pool area, hearing a loud splash led me there. My eyebrows furrowed taking in the scene. Two people sitting on the edge of the pool, one being a smaller guy with tattoos who gave off a who gives a fuck attitude. He sat next to a blonde girl who was visibly tipsy but just by the look of her I was prepping myself for confrontation. She was saying things like "Wow that was amazing." but she had sad eyes and it didn't add up. But there was a large Tarzan-esque man in the pool, I assume he was the one who made the large splash? Finally another blonde girl who looked pretty chill but I saw she had alcohol in her hands, but not the quality kind just beer. So from there I put on my large personality and blurted out with a smile, " Hey? Why break out the alcohol before the bartender got here? I can make you a quality drink. Beer tastes like piss."

LEX

Wow, there's so many cute girls here. The one who just came outside (I think her name is Miranda?) is gorgeous with blonde hair and exotic features. She seems distant though, like she might have trust issues or something. I can definitely relate to that. I also kinda suspect there might be something going on with her and Ethan but who cares? Nobody's called dibs yet so all these chicks are up for grabs, if you ask me.

Then this loud, curvy girl with dark brown hair comes bustling outside. Damn, she's hot. She this certain sex appeal about her, and I think she even said something about being a bartender. Well, she's definitely my type of chick.

Then there's Blake sitting next to me. I don't know what her deal is but she's becoming a real buzzkill. I even think I saw her crying a few moments ago, which is just annoying. I dont mean to break the poor girl's heart but we JUST got here. Lighten up a little. Maybe I'll pull her to the side later and talk to her in private, because I don't like intentionally hurting people (I might be an asshole but I still have a heart you know). But at this point I'm just focused on meeting my new roommates.

"Hey, I'd love a quality drink," I tell the newest girl with a slight wink. Finally a chick that actually seems fun - she has this confident aura about her and I dig that.

Miranda-
I raised an eyebrow at the new girl when she called me out on the beer in my hand. I had just graduated round one of college, and while I didn't actually like beer, it wasn't exactly ingrained in me to be picky about alcohol. When you're at a party you kind of take what you can get, particularly when you're underage. Still, I raised my black cherry Mikes Hard in defense. Ok, so having drinks in both hands didn't look better. "The beers not for me. Credit me with some taste." Not that my choice was much less shitty, but at least it tasted good and I wasn't looking to get anything more than slightly buzzed. It was mostly a joke, about as close as I was going to get in a crowd of new people. The girl that walked up seemed like the type with a good sense of humor, hopefully she would catch on. When the guy next to the blonde girl (whose name I still hadn't caught) piped up, I actually looked him over for the first time. He was... very much not my type. I was also pretty sure I had never actually met anyone quite like him before, passed by on the street maybe, but never held a real conversation with. He had a certain kind of grit to him that people in Ivy League schools just didn't have. I doubted we would get along, but it was probably too soon to make that judgement.

 

[Daniel Reaving]

I immediately smiled as I saw Miranda coming with a towel and a beer. "Thank you Miranda." I said happily as he gently reached up and took the beer before looking to the new girl. She was a beautiful woman with dark hair and clear feminine features. Hearing her speak about the beer he chuckles and replied playfully in a still respectful tone. "Well then could you make me something a little better. I'm shit at making good drinks so I asked for a beer. Plus I figured it be the drink least likely for me to spill." I told her as I still held onto the unopened corona in in my left hand. I had to admit the new girl was quite beautiful. But then again every girl here was so it wasn't like she was particularly special but... there was something about her confident playful manner that seemed to make it show more than the others as the others seemed to have a more sudle beauty to all of them (if you get what I'm saying). Still though hooking up was at the back of my mind at the moment. I had never been the guy to just hit it and quit it, I've always wanted a true relationship and would take it any day over a one night stand. I smirked once more and spoke again. "Know of any drinks you could make in a bottle?" I asked mostly out of worry that if it was an open cup or fancy glass I'd possibly spill it in the pool. After asking I looked to the others and chuckled before asking in a teasing tone. "So am I gonna be the only one to swim in our new fancy ass pool?" I asked the three sitting at its side
