Realistic or Modern Westbrook

[DrabberRogue]

The calamity stopwatch was ticking again. Jace had restarted it shortly after the immediate chaos of the musical had died down. When Alaska had been distracted, the principle had been pushed off the stage, and Raven had wrapped up whatever she was doing. Really, that play had caused way more jealousy than it had any right to. Not really having much reason to stick around, he took his leave shortly after, initially heading home. He'd planned to stay there for the rest of the night, not really having anything else to do. After having stood in the eye of Westbrook's latest storm, his parent's empty house seemed unnaturally peaceful by comparison. His footsteps echoed through the building on his way to the kitchen, dropping the forbidden brownies on the counter before raiding the fridge for a soda. With nothing better to do, Jace figured he'd settle in for a night of- Oh look a notification.

When his icy blue eyes first fell upon the screen of his phone, Jace was mildly annoyed with what he saw. Needless to say he didn't really like it when people insulted Ash. Especially using that kind of name calling in particular. Normally he wouldn't have gotten involved, especially with the blonde in question having a spicy comeback of her own, but it was tempting. Jace wanted to add his voice in defense of the girl who was probably still high, so he did. Then his opponent hit him with something he didn't expect. It was a good thing no one was there to see him, because they would've seen his pale cheeks flush with pink. JJ knew? Usually Jace didn't have much issue with dishing out banter. With this, however, he was a little hesitant. He wanted to reply with something fun while also trying to discredit the accusation.

Now while she clearly didn't get his reference, it definitely hadn't been a bad idea. JJ's word choice gave him the perfect opportunity to start having fun. There was a grin on his face by the end of their twitter exchange, leaving him in a better mood than when he'd started. What was it about bitchy girls that made them so fun? Maybe it was worth stopping by her house party for a bit. He probably wouldn't want to stay for too long, but he might as well take another shot at it. What was that about expecting different results for the same action? Whatever, it wasn't like he couldn't just leave when he got bored. There was something he wanted to do before he left, though.

The little twitter skirmish he'd partaken in had brought Ash back to the forefront of his thoughts again. He didn't need to be the girl's best friend to see that she was having a bad week. From breaking up with Ryder to pressure from her own mother, it seemed like she was falling apart. The whole thing was kind of off putting really. Watching someone he admired turn into someone he, well, didn't. So on a carefully considered impulse, Jace started typing again. This time in DMs. After he hit send he leaned his head back against the wall, letting a heavy sigh out into the lonely room. Why was his heart pounding?

Sawyer

Oh god the play. With Kate's appearance and everything after, Sawyer had almost completely forgotten about the play. Sawyer had a very vague idea who made the brownies and she wanted to wring his neck, but it was useless now. If anyone else other than Grace had been directing she would've found this whole situation hilarious, but the way it effected Grace canceled out any thoughts of humor. Sawyer didn't know what she expected. Everything always seemed to end badly when it involved them. It was a curse, she was sure of it. They'd all been cursed and now they were suffering the consequences.


"That's what I was trying to tell you all night." Sawyer nudged Grace's shoulder a little, "I was talking to Erin and she just kept mumbling about brownies and I kind put two and two together. But you're such a busy body, which is completely adorable by the way, that I didn't get the chance." She paused and thought for a moment. Sawyer figured she should probably tell Grace about her talk with Kate before Kate did. Better she hear it from Sawyer herself than her venomous mother.


"Your mother also didn't help things." Sawyer leaned back, her back resting against the cars windshield, "She like cornered me before I could get to you after I talked to Erin. I guess someone told her you weren't at Ash's that night." She couldn't help the small smile that grew on her face at the mention of it, "She got all interrogatey on me." Sawyer puckered up her face in a awful impression of Grace's mother, "Where were you October 22nd of this year? Bleh, bleh, bleh I want to suck your bloooodd." Her impression fell into an even worse Dracula voice and she fell into a fit of giggles at her own humor.

Scarlet


He kept making her laugh, but Scarlet really didn't want to bug anyone around them despite the mess that was the play. She couldn't help but giggle at everything he said, Mads just had her like putty in the palm of his hand. Eventually, he tired out and fell asleep on her, which was perfectly alright. She played with a piece of his hair, feeling only slightly strange and opting to not finish the rest of the brownie she had been saving. Scar gave a small sniff and glanced to Rae when she spoke with a soft chuckle. Yes, this play was definitely bad. The girl beside her seemed to be a bit more relaxed now, and it made Scarlet slightly relieved. She really didn't want Mads' sister to dislike her for any reason.

Eventually, the play ended. The fighting that ensued seemed like a total finale production, but she knew Alaska was not putting on a show. Her friend was clearly upset - so upset that she would tackle a boy she didn't know off the stage in front of everyone. Jamie appeared with extreme speed, her step-brother clearly experienced with separating the dark-haired girl from fights. She made a note to see how Alaska was doing later that night. "I don't remember this part either..." Though, she understood that the commotion was not in the script as she responded to Mads once he had awoken.

She stood, the fighting having died down for the most part, once Rae stretched. The brunette gave her own ankles a quick roll; Scarlet wasn't really one for sitting for extended periods of time, so that musical was a test of her usually everlasting patience. Hazel eyes turned to look at Madison's sister, and she smiled. "Well, JJ is having a party at her house right now, and she basically invited everyone. I was gonna go if either of you wanted to." She turned to looked at Mads with a slight tilt of her head.

Mood: Happy| Interacting with: Mia |Mentions: JJ | Kipsy Soap

Theodore stretched, finally dragging himself out of his bed. He had been passed out for the past 12 hours, sleeping off his Jetlag. Plan trips were a bitch. He wasn't sure if he was glad to be back in Westbrook after being in France for half a year. It was so nice and relaxing over there compared to the chaos that usually plauged Westbrook. It may have been a nice break but now he was ready to get back into the thick of it. Scrolling through Twitter he saw that JJ was hosting a party to make up for some play? Either way, it was perfect because he had brought home some gifts for his friends. Some people got bigger things than others but he was sure it didn't matter. It was the thought that counts, right?

Should he be responsible and walk to the party? Oooor he could ride a bike instead of driving. What could go wrong?! hithimwithacar. Theo pulled on his usual outfit of jeans, a t-shirt and a flannel shirt on top. Maybe one day he would change up his closet but that day was not today. So he headed downstairs, satisfied by how good he looked. Oh hell yeah he was ready to paaaaaaaaaarty. But where was his bike? He searched through the garage for a few minutes but could only find his mums one. It was a baby blue bike with a wicker basket attached to the front. Awesome! He could put his bag in it that held his gifts. God baskets were awesome. Why weren't there more baskets attached to bikes? It also had a wicked bell as well. He then proceeded to be distracted by the bell, repeatedly ringing it for ten minutes. "STOP RINGING THAT DAMN BELL" one of his mums yelled from upstairs, jolting him back to reality. "SORRY MUM. IM GOING OUT NOW" he yelled back before climbing onto the bike. This was going to be great.

A short while later he had arrived at JJ's house, kind of dumping the bike off to the side so no one would steal it. Riding it home drunk was going to be Epic. He grabbed his bag of presents. Oh my god, he had a bag of presents he was like Santa. He would make a damn good Santa he would make sure everyone actually got what they wanted for Christmas. WHERE WAS HIS PONY FROM WHEN HE WAS FIVE. Anyways he pushed open the door and stepped into JJ's house like he had done many times before. He would have to track the girl down so he could give her the gifts.

Before Theo could advance on his mission he spotted two girls in the corner bouncing on the couch. One of the girls he recognised and it seemed like very odd behaviour for her. Wasn't she always quiet and tended not to draw attention to herself? Right now she was calling a lot of attention to herself. He remembered a tweet he had read on the bike ride to the party about there being weed brownies accidentally given out at the play. She must have had one of said brownies. So Theo helped himself to the fridge pulling out a little cranberry juice box, perfect. He also grabbed himself a beer before heading over to the girls. "It's Mia, Right? Here this should help you sober up a bit" he said, handing her the juice box. After a few bad highs, he quickly learned some tricks for sobering up from weed. Which was quite a difficult task.

Mood: Giddy| Interacting with: Kenzie & Theo | Mentions: Maree Saradipity

Mia was delighted when she was joined on the couch by Kenzie. She bounce a few more time, excited at the motion. Of course, she jumped when she heared someone call her name. Not a purposeful jump like she’d done earlier, but a real, full-on spring upwards. She almost knocked over Theo in the process. A squeak left her lips and she stepped back until her calves hit the edge of the couch.

Taking the juice box, she smiled, her face a little red from the embarrassment of nearly slamming into Theo. “Uh, thank you. And yes. And sorry.” Words weren’t working in her favor right now. She blamed the weed and her social ineptness.

Licking her lips, Mia drank the juice. Cranberry wasn’t her favorite flavor, but if he said it would work, she’d trust him. “Really, thanks. I hope this helps. I feel so much giddier to normal and it’s weird.” She drawled out the last word and the grinned playfully like it was a joke.

Charlie McAllister

There's a song in my head: Bodys - Car Seat Headrest

Charlie's resounding and frankly embarrassing declaration was answered with... absolute indifference. It was almost like, after being gone for five fucking months, nobody remembered who he was. He drew back in when someone addressed him. A girl he'd never seen before, so she was either new, or they'd just never gotten around to meeting.

"Um." He swallowed. Be the big man you know you are, Charlie. Easier thought than done, though. "I was in recovery from surgery for awhile, all of summer actually. I guess it's been awhile and people don't really, uh, recognize me? But, I mean. They oughtta. I'm in an alternative band, we're a pretty big deal..." Despite having not released a fucking album yet. "JJ wanted me here." Oh my god stop. Stop lying to strangers.

"Uh. Way back last year, y'know, people loved hearing me play at parties. I was basically like, half the reason they came, except the drugs and alcohol and stuff..." Somehow, he couldn't quit running his stupid mouth for half a second. "I just come over, do a couple requests, and dip. Partying, uhm, it isn't really my thing... but I like anyone who appreciates good music." Speaking of which, the song that was playing sucked. He really wanted to just turn on some Blur or something. "But uh, as soon as I said I was back JJ practically begged me to come over and play a little. She pretends not to know me, 'cause I'm like... not very cool. But, you know."

This was a mistake. But he was... stuck with it. Either that or she'd just tell him to quit his bullshit.

Theo kind of jumped back as Mia shot up off the couch, almost knocking him over. Did he scare her? Jeez, this girl really wasn't used to being high. Then again that made sense because she didn't look like the type who got out much. Was that offensive? Eh, it wasn't like anyone could actually hear his thoughts. Unless they could!? He then stared dramatically at the corner of the room like there was a camera there. Realising that he was still in a company he smiled sheepishly at Mia. "No need to apologize," he told her, smiling softly.

He sat down in an armchair that was beside the couch she was previously sitting on. "Oh yeah. Being high makes you feel pretty weird" he confirmed. It was weird that he didn't actually see anyone else he properly knew. Maybe they were just running a bit late or lost in the crowd. That was a shame but he guessed he could just befriend the girl he was with. She seemed a bit jumpy but hey, that didn't really matter. He wondered if he said boo if she would jump out of the couch again. He might wait a bit before testing out that theory.

Thedore whipped his phone out and sent a quick tweet at JJ before shoving it back in his pocket. "So this doesn't really seem like your scene. What brings you here?" he asked, tilting his head a little bit. Was that mean? Sometimes he was accidentally mean but he didn't mean to be, sometimes. Everyone likes to be a little mean occasionally.

Jamie


He didn't expect to be the only one in the kitchen for long. Soon, a somewhat familiar girl entered with an empty cup, and was almost thankful for the company. Jamie figured it was time he snapped out of his sulky demeanor and offered a half-smile. Her approach was identical to his own during his first party back, at Bryan's house. "Sure, I wasn't planning on hoarding it all to myself for very long," He joked before pouring some of the alcohol into her cup. Curious, the tall boy glanced around, wondering why she was there by herself. Usually girls who looked like her walked around with friends - too many weirdos out there that would harass a pretty face like hers.

"I'm Jamie," He introduced himself with a small nod, extending a hand to her as his half-smile shifted into a complete and charming one as he spoke. Good first impressions were everything. Taking a sip from his cup again, he wondered how he recognized her. Hadn't she been in the play? Yes, yes she had. She was the one who had started crying. Not one to pressure or pry, Jamie opted to not bring it up. The redhead had also gone to the boy that Alaska had attacked to check on how he was doing - that was nice of her, despite his new disliking for the kid whose name he didn't even know.

Mood: Weirded out| Interacting with: Charlie |Mentions: Twin Fantasy

Belle tilted her head a little as she listened to this strange male speak. Boy, he spoke quite a bit. She knew that she needed friends but for the moment it would probably be best if she picked and chose who she was friends with. This one just happened to sound like he was full of bullshit. Well besides the bit about him being in a hospital. He had that fresh out of hospital kind of look. "Well I'm glad you're better now" she managed to get out, feeling a bit awkward. She had accidentally started talking to 'that guy' at the party. The one who turned the music people were actually enjoying off to play shitty music of their guitar. All in an attempt to look cool. Was she being judgemental? Yes. But she would pray later and confess her sins to make up for it.

"Weren't you the guy who tweeted at her and she said that weren't relevant then called you a weirdo?" she asked, pulling out her phone and checking the twitter, comparing the profile to this stranger. The tweets on the account seemed to match what he had been talking about. Boastful and a liar, what interesting sins to commit. How sad did you have to be in order to boast about something that wasn't even true? "Well if you're gonna start playing at least do it outside so we can continue to listen to this music? Thanks" she started backing up a little. This dude was weird and she didn't want to be harassed or something.

Ava


She rolled his eyes when he said that she was more fun to talk to. "Please, flattery and lies get you nowhere in life." Ava said, smirking at him as she did and for once, not getting flustered by him. What? She was getting used to Zach and his little... games or whatever they were, and Ava was completely out of her comfort zone, which just left her stressed out. Or, less likely to be flustered by things, apparently. And, well, Zach was sadly familiar at this point, so it wasn't like being messed with by some stranger.

"And is there anything that's not alcohol? Because like, I don't drink. Or... I've never drank. But I can totally win a game of beer pong." Okay so yeah, young Ava had thought that she would go to plenty of parties, and had perfected her beer pong game to never lose. And then it turned out that she was a loser, was never invited, had no friends, etc... and now here she was, with wasted skills.

Of course, for all of the time that she was able to ignore Zach, one thing that she could not ignore were other people. Such as the dude that came up like a hurricane, and started talking about getting fucked up. Ava's eyes widened, and she was definitely at a loss for words. What? Ava was almost always at a loss for words, especially around strange people. But hey, her parents had kicked her out, and she was stuck, so maybe she should try and enjoy herself?

"Oh it was hilarious. One of the leads was so high she couldn't even walk straight. And then it was like Fight Club." Ava laughed, thinking back to how hilarious it had been.

Mood: High | Interacting with: Theo & Kenzie| Mentions: Saradipity Maree

There couldn’t possibly be a person on this earth who wanted to be high. Willingly. Mia didn’t believe it. Sure, she was hyper and pretty jumpy, but she was also out of control. And that was terrible for a control-freak such as herself. She disliked this and yet the high was turning every negative into a positive. It was hard to stay mad in this state.

“Oh, I’m crashing this party,” Mia declared, then gestured to Kenzie, “along with her. I thought this was my house but it’s not. And she said she didn’t want to go home yet so I offered to stay with her. Thus, here we are.”

She blinked, staring blankly at Theo. What she’d just rambled about probably didn’t even make any remote sense. But, moving on to more important things. “Do I know you? You knew my name.” She narrowed her eyes suspiciously, although her suspicion was probably misplaced.

Oliver


The fight between Stu and Jace was entertaining but made him a little anxious, so he ultimately had walked off the stage with his skateboard. Oliver wasn't good with confrontation, and that was a scene he didn't feel like get involved in. Instead, he boarded down the street with his headphones in and drumsticks sticking dangerously out of his back pocket. They were just short enough to not fall out without somehow stabbing him first, so he never worried. Well, at least it all went well while it lasted...besides the acting and the entire play itself. The music had lasted until their bitter end, but at least they produced some good content in some way.

His Tweeter feed started up, and he noticed that JJ was hosting a party. He only knew that because some of the people in his classes were also tweeting away about it. Oliver wasn't allowed to come back to his place for a while, anyway. His cousin had informed him that he would be busy with certain things until midnight or later. Perhaps he could spend most of his time amongst some interesting folk. Vienna would have wanted him to make more friends, anyway.

And so off he went, following the directions to the large home on his board and nodding his head to whatever was blasting through his earbuds at the moment. Oli got there in less time than he expected and hopped off his longboard, kicking it up and into his grasp. Walking through the entrance, he quickly placed his mode of transportation in a safe spot, relinquished himself of the music playing in his ears, and replaced it with the music pumping through the large villa. He smiled and gave a small nod; whatever system they had hooked up for the party wasn't all that bad.

'Oh, I’m crashing this party.'

Oliver turned to see who had the same idea as him and walked up to the little group with a smile. "Hey, I ended up crashing, too." He looked from the two girls and then to the boy beside him. Oli knew he was in his grade, but couldn't put a finger on what his name was. As for the two ladies, he had never seen either before. After a second of hesitation, he cleared his throat and gave a single wave to them with gleaming, light brown eyes. "I'm Oliver, by the way."

There's a song in my head: Coffee and TV - Blur

Well that backfired spectacularly. And now this girl was looking at him like he was some kind of creep. As if he'd ever... Another generic-looking chick to add to the ever-growing pile at Westbrook. How did they not take one look at Charlie and realize he was gay? Did he need to wear it on a fucking t-shirt? Because clearly whatever he was doing now wasn't working.

"Fine. You got me. Now quit looking at me like that, I'll actually puke, like, seriously..." Anxiety does that to you. "I am in a band though. A damn good one, so don't be making any snap judgments on my work when John Lennon was a wife-beater." He tugged his collar a bit. Harper always said that a man is not his music. It really was true, the music of Charlie's band was far superior to Charlie's personality.

He curled his lip a bit. Sure, he'd gotten himself into this situation, but still... Well, there was no 'but still'. He really was the scum of the earth, and had no land left to stand on, which meant it was time to push everyone away.

"I brought my guitar just in case things got boring, I don't care if anyone listens to it. Or at least I didn't, now I'm tempted to play really really loudly."

Despite his harsh words, his hands were shaking. Charlie was not a convincing... anything. Other than a very convincing sad little boy trapped in the body of a man. "I don't even like parties..." What the fuck was he doing here? Why was he such a fucking disaster, right out the gate? "And could you quit slowly backing off? Either leave or don't, I'm not some kind of murder rapist, I'm gay as shit and weigh like, 20 pounds. I'd rather be strung up on the rack than screw a girl."

He really did mean that. The more his parents expected him to be straight, the more he felt disgust towards women. Not for being women, that's just misogyny, but rather, the idea of them expecting him to want them. Sexually or romantically. Either they'd circle a finger on his chest or clutch their keys tightly when he came by to tell them they dropped their wallet. Why would he ever be interested in these people?

"I need a drink and a joint... I don't feel too good all'f a sudden."

Mason


He headed out of the auditorium to find Adriane, and was surprised to find her half bruised and beaten outside in the hallway. Well, what a night this had been for the pair. Mason sighed and walked over, with Ariana still in his arms, and watched as Adriane looked up at him. It was obvious that she was annoyed, and he wasn't sure why as she reached out, taking Ari into her arms. Their daughter had finally calmed down, although it was late and it was obvious that she was tired.

"That wasn't just a stage kiss." She said, and for a moment, Mason was confused until he figured out what she meant. "I don't know... what the hell you were thinking, but that wasn't okay. I'm trying to make this work, and I'd like if you tried to do the same thing. We're taking your mother home and then heading back to my house, but you... you can just walk." And without even letting Mason get a word in edgewise, Adriane started walking away, although she paused long enough to turn around and add; "Also, you better figure out something to do about Drake. He's going to overdose again, and... what if he doesn't wake up this time?"

Again, before he could respond, Adriane walked off with Ari in her arms, and Mason groaned, leaning back against the wall and looking up at the ceiling as he slammed his head back against the wall. God. What the hell was wrong with him? Mason had never kissed anyone like that, and he wasn't a huge fan of PDA (unless it was to, well, make other people jealous) and yeah, it had been a play, but it was obvious that he'd gotten carried away. And the worst part? Mason didn't care. He knew it was wrong, but he didn't care. He'd do it a thousand times over, and that was probably the worst part to him.

Shaking his head, Mason started out of the school, pausing as he stepped into the cold night air. He hadn't brought a jacket thanks to, well, expecting to have a ride home. Instead, all he had on was his flannel, and it was absolutely freezing outside. At least the walk wasn't terribly long, but, as he started walking, he almost immediately paused.

There was Raven. She looked as if she'd seen a ghost, and Mason considered just scooting around her and avoiding any kind of awkward conversation. His tongue messed with the back of his lip ring while he decided, and then he made his way towards her. "Hey, Raven, you okay? Look like you saw a fucking ghost or some shit." He asked as he stopped next to her, pushing his glasses up his nose a bit and then shoving his hands into his pockets.

"I'm backing away because you look like the only hospital you were released from was a psych ward." and with that, she spun on her heels and headed deeper into the house. You know what she had a long day and that guy was just asking for it. God would understand that as he didn't make them with the intention of them being perfect. Hopefully, she wouldn't have to bump into him again. Oh boy, she needed a drink.

Making herself a glass of vodka lemonade her eyes scanned around the room for someone to talk to. Taking a sip of the lovely concoction her eyes fell on a girl she recognised as JJ. Twitter was great for knowing people without actually knowing people. If she wanted to get onto the cheer squad it would probably help if she had a friend on the team. So she made her way over to the girl. "Hey, I'm Belle. I just moved in a few Villa's down" she introduced herself. The liquid courage was certainly doing its work as she found herself admiring how beautiful JJ was, platonically of course. "You are stunning. Also, where did you get those shoes they are amazing" she complimented.

Why did she stop drinking? It felt so nice being slightly tipsy. All her nerves had just melted away and she felt like herself again. Belle had just been such a mess since the accident not at all like her usual confident self. A party was just what she needed to remind herself of who she was and what she stood for. She was going to make some great friends, join the cheer squad and have a damn great year. Maybe even develop her relationship with Drake who she genuinely clicked with and liked. It was just so refreshing to be in a new town. "God there are some weirdo's lurking around though. A guy just went off on me accusing me of thinking that I thought he was going to rape me. Like what on earth?" she said in a slight whisper in case the weirdo was around.

Mads


Madison was just coming down off his high, nothing that he hadn't experienced before. However getting high off an edible he didn't know he was eating, that he had at school. Wasn't something he was expecting. "That sounds like fun." He said in response to going to JJ's party. "This time I want you on my team for beer pong." He smirked leaning to give her a kiss on the corner of her lips.

Madison stood up stretching all his limbs, towering over the small girl. "I can't believe I fell asleep." He took her hand in his rubbing circles across the back of her hand with his thumb. Rubbing the back of his neck with the other. "What about you Rae? Are you in?"Looking over at his sister, of course he would be happy to have her come with, but also wanted some time alone with Scar. Even if a party wasn't the place for alone time, he just didn't want his sister following them around all night.

Rae(probably keeping her for the sake of teen wolf babes taking over)

"As much fun as that sounds." It didn't sound like fun to her, she hated parties and now that Madison had a girlfriend with a car at least she didn't always have to drive him. "I think I'm going to hang back" She looked over at Scar quickly wide eyed. "I mean only if you don't mind driving my little bro." She bit her lip, she hoped that she hadn't offended her assuming that Scarlet would drive Madison around. "I'm going to head back stage otherwise."

A smirk crept across Rae's face, she was a bit still high but she still couldn't wait to catch up with Chase. They had talked about possibly going out to celebrate the end of the play, if he didn't have to deal too much with family issues. Considering Alaska started off the play with a bang, and ended it that same way..

Rae gave the two love birds a small wave before walking down the aisle and up the stairs on the side of the stage. Making her way behind the curtains looking around for a certain brunette boy. She looked pretty lost turning around on the stage.

"Oh Ava you never change." He gave a small smirk biting his bottom lip. "Maybe we can get a beer pong game going for you, I'll do the drinking for you." Zach had taken a step towards her, the plus of talking with Ava was that he got away from all the buckle bunnies of the high school football world. Before Zach could continue to bother Ava, which he wasn't really doing all that good of a job at. But he wasn't exactly wanting to run her off today.

They however were quickly interrupted by Shawn, all Zach could do was give Ava a wide eye look that looked that included an eye roll. It was almost as if it he was saying 'who the fuck is this guy' without actually saying it. "Uh yea, shit show of the year, but what else do you get with Westbrook?"

She seemed to relax her shoulders a bit as soon as she saw him pour the drink for her. It didn’t take long for her to start drinking it, but she didn’t expect a conversation to come with it. She lowered her cup as she shook his hand. “Nice to meet you Jamie. I’m June.” She introduced then pausing again as she looked at the bottle. She poured herself some more. Finally though, she started to talk more. Maybe because of the drinks.

“I’ve seen you around before. Although, no one really explained to me what you were. Are you a teachers assistant or something?” She asked. For all the people she’s heard whispering about him in the halls, no one really talked. She wasn’t exactly sure why, but she knew even if they did she wouldn’t listen. She has been too much in her head that anyone outside of it is foggy and fuzzy. The only really good look she had of him was... at the play they were just at. But that wasn’t really the best first impression of herself to show off. Although she doubted she could manage it. “Also, thank you for helping seperate the fights. I could hardly do it myself without earning a black eye I’m sure.” She said with a small laugh before taking another gulp of her drink. She had to admit, it wasn’t the best. But, she couldn’t complain.

Pulling up her phone to check her messages, maybe Bryan sent her a text.. biting her lip as she scrolled through, and sighed heavily when she didn't see any, looking up when she'd heard a voice.​

She was.. pretty, JJ guesses anyway. Raising a brow as she felt the need to introduce herself, eying her and trying to consider if she even wanted to talk to her at all. Grinning at the compliments, she looked down at her shoes, trying to remember. "They were a gift from my mother." Almost rolling her eyes at the mention of her, she'd got them last year for her birthday, the one she didn't attend. Michelle Obama, remember? She had other things to take care of. It wasn't like Juliette cared.

Deciding that maybe she wasn't going to be so bad, Juliette can take compliments perfectly fine. "I'm JJ. Obviously you're new, you would've known me otherwise." She smiled brightly, of course she was cocky, everyone knew Jules, if they didn't, well, they probably lived under a rock. Which could be said for a lot of WestBrook's people apparently. Nodding when she mentioned weirdo's, but she didn't think too much of it. An amused grin came across her face and she shrugged. "Welcome to WestBrook. Consent is strong here."

Maisie

So the musical was extremely terrible, so Maisie had suggested that they leave early, glad enough that Jesse actually agreed, and decided to come with her. However, because he was high, they didn't exactly have a car, and well... Maisie didn't have her license so it wasn't like she could drive anyway. She suggested that they go for a walk. Getting an idea halfway through their walk and changed directions from her home, uh, foster home. She couldn't get too attached to these things. It wasn't like this might actually last. But should at least make the best of it right? "You're cool with semi-illegal things, right?" She asked as she came to a stop.

Pointing to a corner across the street. It took Maisie a few seconds to realize that might've been a little weird. She chuckled and redirected his gaze to the wall beside it. Showing art of a grey cat, who only by coincidence of course, had the same colored eyes she did. Some people probably would've saw her eyes as weird, but it might've been the only thing she really liked about herself. Although Maisie wasn't very insecure about herself. It was more about her personality other then, well, her. "The wall." She slipped off her backpack, and started walking towards the wall.

Glancing over at him, and shrugged. "What do you think?" After all, she wasn't going to do her idea if he wasn't cool with it. Even if he seemed like he would be. Better off to ask.

Grace

Grace gave her a weak apologetic smile, she shouldn't of ignored her, but she just couldn't help it. Usually when she was so set on something, it was kinda hard to not ignore everyone else. Taking a mental note that it would be better off to decide to listen to her girlfriend next time. "Sorry, sorry. I won't be a busy body with you." Watching her as she laid down on the hood of the car admirably. Yeah, no way was Grace going to listen to her mother about being 'forbidden.' No thanks.

Raising a curious eyebrow when she brought up her mother again, and her jaw dropped in shock for a second. The only one who probably knew that information, could've been... well, Ash. Jace maybe too, but like, Jace and Kate talking? Doubt that was a thing. He'd be eaten alive by her mother. She wasn't exactly excited to have that talk with Ash either, smiling at Sawyer's humorous impression. Scooting over to lean back next to her, and chuckled to herself. "So, you basically told my mom that you took her daughter's virginity." She nodded, and a laugh escaped her. Grace wasn't mad, at this point that was the least of her problems.

Thinking about it and her mother's face at Sawyer's words, she laughed harder, almost until she was out of breath. This was much better than crying and something she desperately needed. The laughing of course, not jokes about virginity. Once her laughter died down, her smile didn't. She leaned closer, grabbing Sawyer's arm and putting it around herself. What? Leave her alone, she was allowed to do these things. "You're a real comedian, the best impressionist I know."

Raven

Raven backed away from the woman, yes, she was glad she was alive. But leaving her like that for months and not trying to contact her, whatsoever? like she said she would. Not like Raven would actually believe a promise whenever she made it. She was still pissed and had a reason to. "So, your off the hook. Just like that? You mean to tell me you put someone into a coma, someone i care about actually, and they just decided to let you go?" She gestured to her and crossed her arms. Andrea hesitated before speaking. She wasn't high, so, that was a good sign... "Someone else got arrested for it." Raven couldn't of rolled her eyes harder at that statement.

Shrugging and waited until she continued. "Pierce wanted take the fall for me. So he confessed to stealing my car that night." Her mother and men were always a terrible combination. Especially Pierce, they were an abusive relationship that was on and off, and it was just... toxic in all ways. Andrea's eyes was filling up with tears, and Raven looked away from the sight of it. She was so stupid, letting someone rot in jail for a mistake she made? "I... can't have this conversation right now. I need to get home." Raven wasn't going to sit here and listen to her right now, her grandmother was sick, despite Nancy's reassurance that didn't really work, she wanted to be there. Andrea nodded, wiping a tear on her face.

"I'll be at the motel, if you... ever want to talk. I understand that you're upset, and Raven i'm just-" Putting a hand up to stop her from talking, she just didn't want to hear it. "Yeah, okay." Odds were she probably wasn't going to want to talk to her anytime soon, she couldn't deal with all this right now. Andrea went closer "Hey... what happened to your face?" She reached a hand out to touch her cheek, and Raven took a step back this time. Her mother gave her an apologetic smile, that Raven brushed off completely and looking elsewhere. Waiting until she left and letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

Pulling the jacket she'd had on tighter in an attempt to shield herself from the cold, and she just stood there for a few moments, in shock of what just happened, when a voice pulled her from her thoughts. Looking towards Mason, and giving him a nod. "Uh..." Everyone in school basically talked shit about her mother, so why would she tell him about it? "I just saw my mom." She honestly doesn't know. Clearing her throat, and glancing around before she continued. "I'm fine. Just gonna head home." Normally, she doesn't walk home so late. But since the play tonight, she didn't really have a choice. Besides, she was fine with walking. She always did, so why change that now?

Theodore Presley

Mood: Happy| Interacting with: Mia, Oliver |Mentions:| Kipsy Rach

Theo held his hands up in mock surrender as her tone changed to one of suspicion. "We do go to the same school and I'm pretty good with names," he said. Then they were joined by another boy. This one was in his year but he couldn't remember his name. It was on the tip of his tongue but he just couldn't get it. Then he did an amazing thing and introduced himself as Oliver. He could remember that, little ollie. That wouldn't be that hard. He then realised that he should probably introduce himself as well before the pause gets too long and becomes awkward.

"I'm Theo, Nice to meet you" he introduced himself, flashing his usual dorky but charming smile. He never introduced himself as Theodore because that was too much dorkiness even for him. The only way people found out was when damn substitutes read his name out loud. There was only so many 'thats so cuuuuuute' a man could take. Women didn't go for cute they went for manly. He needed to work out some more, gain some muscles. Muscles were a good idea then he would be Hot. Maybe then he would finally be able to gain a girlfriend. Well, he has had girlfriends... He's totally had.. No, he hasn't. Been on dates but never anything that had been official.

He took another sip from his beer before chuckling. "Well looks like I'm the only one actually invited. JJ's a good friend of mine but I just got back from overseas" he explained. He ran his fingers through his dark curls, messing them up a little bit. He hoped that Mason would turn up, god he missed his best friend. Or like any of his friends because he missed them as well. "Hopefully they didn't allll forget about me," he said, his eyes twinkling with mischief. He was going to prank every single one of them if they forgot he got back today.

Shawn March Orozco

Well. The responses Shawn was getting were less than ideal. Man, you disappear for wrestling, boxing, goat-milking and stupid shitty yoga, and everyone just forgets you. He did have an Instagram presence, so they probably would only recognize him if he had forty layers of make-up on. Which he didn't do a full face because, well, he was tired, and probably gonna get drunk. But, it's always a good time for an introduction. He held out two hands for each person to shake.

"I'm Shawn, I've been attending school here since... the beginning of time, basically. I used to do the theater program, until I realized it was... even more unprofessional than your average high school drama club. Some guy deadass broke my arm during our production of Seussical the Musical." He rolled his eyes. "But never anything like this. I hope someone will post it online."

God, this was awkward.

"Normally I don't, uh... Just go around bothering people, I guess. But hey, it's a party. I've been busy with life stuff, a lot of people around here know me... I think? Now I'm not so sure, and it's seriously fucking with my mind right now."

Pause. He must've been becoming delusional because of all the suspicious fumes coming from his parents' little "spirit room". What if they were putting that shit in his food? Ugh. Never trust hippies. "Considering the school's past endeavors, I'm expecting that anyone involved in a fight will be suspended even if they didn't really start it. I keep track of this shit. I guess that's what happens to you when you enter senior year. But like I was saying before, that's, what, six or seven people suspended at once? Plus the shit with the pot brownies I was hearing, whoever did that is gonna get the sternest of talking-tos. And I'm anticipating an assembly."

Another pause.

"Ah, shit, I just... seriously went on a tangent, huh. That's embarrassing! Wow! I haven't been doing much of anything with anyone lately, other than hearing my mom and dad not know how to play a didgeridoo. How about we go get a drink and forget I said anything?"

That seemed reasonable. "I heard something about beer pong and I'll have you know that I'm good at it, but you know. Only sometimes." Wink! He's back, baby!

Casper Ollila​

Casper followed after Neck Tie as they entered, shutting the door gently before removing his jacket, placing it carefully on the chair next to Neck Tie’s.

When he told his dad they needed the television, Casper’s eyes widened, and he looked at Neck Tie. “I think we’ll be…” He trailed off, eyes glued to the television now as he watched the cheetah leap. He couldn’t help but feel like the gazelle, chased and trapped, about to be-

The television went off.

Casper blinked, trance broken as the pair started to talk. Casper giggled at the exchange of words, but inside his heart hammered. Was Neck Tie going to get in trouble? Was Casper? When it became obvious no one would, Casper relaxed, giggling dying down at the idea of saying anything like that to his omma. She’d… He didn’t even want to think about what she’d do.

Still, Neck Tie had called her Omma, just like Casper did, and… that made him feel light.

He smiled, though, as Neck Tie offered to teach him to play. It had been embarrassing to let Neck Tie know he didn’t really play video games- his family didn’t even own a gaming system- but it made him feel fuzzy when Neck Tie promised to help him. “Thank you.”

When they were offered drinks, Casper perked up at the thought of hot chocolate. And then coke was mentioned. Casper’s eyes widened. His parents didn’t allow soda… He thought about saying something, but… he really wanted to have soda. Just this once.

He clapped when he was allowed the last coke, eyes lighting up as Martin brought over drinks and snacks before disappearing. Casper nibbled at his finger as he stared at the coke, now nervous. He looked around, double checking Martin was really gone before, quiet, saying to Neck Tie, “My parents don’t like soda…”

Aaron Ollila​

Aaron had been here… a while. As usual, he had gone straight for the alcohol, grabbing himself a glass. He was feeling a bit better as a result, but just a bit. His mind was still on stupid Maisie, and even more stupid Drake. How dare he say that. How dare he cause Aaron to fuck up this bad.

Of course, there was nothing he could do since the bastard ran off, so instead he was left fuming, with a nervous energy begging to be let out.

He still didn’t know where Casper was, which just made him angrier, but he wasn’t ready to admit defeat and text him just yet.

Mason


"Oh," was all Mason managed to say. He knew all about the whole bad moms thing -- his mother wasn't exactly the best thing ever, but at least his mother had never hit someone with her car. Granted, Mason's mother had sold their car once to buy drugs and they never ended up getting a new one, otherwise it would probably be a murder fest out there. Still, even Mason had to admit that Raven's mom had to be the worst. She won the award for shittiest mother.

"Well that fucking sucks." Mason then added in, and hesitated for a moment, biting his tongue while he thought before the words tumbled out of his mouth before he could think. "I'll walk with you. Heading in the same direction, anyway." Yeah, they were far too similar. It was almost unsettling. Both Riveras had shitty moms, shittier dads, and lived in the worst part of the city. Obviously, the world just had it out for any and all Riveras. End of story.

Okay, so walking Raven home was a horrible idea and just played into whatever stupid idea that Adriane had of their friendship. But it would be stupid to be walking a few steps behind her when they were heading to the same part of town, and it wasn't like there was anything between them. It had just been a stage kiss.

Ava


Wow, this Shawn dude seriously did a lot of talking, and Ava was almost speechless listening to him just continue to ramble. She glanced at Zach, and started to realize why people drank at these things. Because being sober and having to deal with people that talked to her was absolutely terrible. Who thought up parties and thought that they were even a good idea? This had to be the worst kind of thing ever, and her thoughts were now filled with how mad she was at her parents for forcing her out to socialize.

And then everyone was talking about beer pong or something, and Zach had offered to drink for her, so... "Yeah, we could play beer pong. If we do like, teams because I don't drink and Zach here said he'd get fucked up for me." She said with a grin, and elbowed Zach in a very awkward fashion because look, Ava is very awkward. "What do you say, partner?"

Wow, even Ava was cringing at herself as she scooted away from him, clearing her throat awkwardly and trying to save whatever face she might have and keep herself from dying of embarrassment. "We just need someone else, like JJ or..." Ava trailed off, realizing that she knew absolutely no one else. Well. That's what you got for hiding out anywhere that didn't have people, and hissing at strangers, and maybe letting a few kids think that you bit growing up.

Charlie McAllister
There's a song in my head: GOLD - BROCKHAMPTON

Well that went horribly. And the music was still, still, STILL grating on his brain and ears like a fucking knife. He pulled out his phone, sweating, heart thumping. All you did was talk to someone you stupid fucking moron.

space0ddity: harper i m freakgin out
space0ddity: nboody know who i am?? adn ppl already htink im insane
space0ddity: NOBODY SPOSED TO KNWO TJAT UNTIL THEY COME 2 MY HOSUE
yaboiharper: chill dude.
yaboiharper: what you need is a drink and some jams.
space0ddity: thyer playign fucking despisseeto
yaboiharper: OOF
yaboiharper: go ask the host to change it?

Another task that required fucking speech. Ugh. But getting on some decent tunes might put his mind at ease. It worked at home, at least a little. Home, he could almost smell the musty cat scent of his bedroom. He wanted to curl up in his comforters and disappear for awhile.

Charlie silently took to the liquor cabinet, grabbing a bottle of... god, some expensive wine, and took a drink. It tasted bad, wine always tasted bad, why did he drink this shit? Even if it feels good, it can't be worth it... and yet it is. Another sip, just to let it settle on his palate. What did Jack Kerouac even see in this garbage? How could he like the taste enough to go on weeks-long binges of wine-chugging and poetry-writing?

Whatever. Now he just had to find JJ. God, she really did blend into droves and droves of nobody interesting. And when he finally found her... god fucking dammit. The same person. The same fucking person he just talked to, right there. Maybe he could just get JJ to come over.

"Uh, excuse me! JJ! I just wanna ask a question real quick... Can you, uh, come over here, instead of over there."

Belle Taylor

Mood: Confident| Interacting with: Charlie, JJ |Mentions: Twin Fantasy Soap

Belle smiled at the look Jule's had on her face when she mentioned her mother got her the shoes. "Ooo I know that look. It was an 'I'm sorry I missed your birthday for business' present" she said, her hand going to the necklace she was wearing. It was really nice, a classic apology gift. A ruby and silver heart. At least her mother knew what her favourite gem was. "This necklace was from when she missed my 16th to get a pay rise," she said, rolling her eyes a little. As much as she loved her mother it wouldn't kill her to show up to her birthdays every now and then.

"I kind of vaguely know you. You told me via twitter to talk to grace about getting on the cheer team" she confessed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She could definitely see herself being friends with JJ. It seemed like they had a bit in common so it would be nice. She also reminded her a little of Eden, who had died in the crash. She was always so sure of herself an full of confidence. JJ had the same type of aura around her. It was nice, familiar.

Then the weirdo from earlier showed up again, wanting to talk to Jj. "Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Are you following me or something?" she scoffed, glaring at the male before turning to Jules again. "This was the guy I was talking about," she said, not bothering to lower her voice this time. Might as well let him know what she thought. Maybe that would get him to fuck off somewhere else. It was a large house did he really need to be near her?

Raven

Raven sighed and nodded in agreement. It did fucking suck. She nodded when he said they'll walk together, she didn't care if he knew where she lived, because, well, they lived in the same neighborhood, and come to think of it. He was really the only one who knew where she lived, weird. Raven wasn't exactly keen on that information getting out, but she doubted he'd say anything about it. "Cool." They made their way away from school. Crossing her arms as she did. Her thoughts traveled to the kiss on stage, and grinned at the thought of it because of Adriane. Obviously. She got what she deserved.

They walked in silence for the most part, and she glanced over at him. "So.. uh.. the play sucked." Chuckling, and shaking her head at the thought of the disaster. But in a way she wasn't all that surprised, there was no way the musical would've gone off without a hitch. This was WestBrook, waiting a few moments before she continued. "But we killed it." It was true, they were probably the best performance on that stage, deciding that maybe that was too much of a compliment that wasn't tied to herself, she had to fix it. "Mostly me, of course." She teased.

If people were going to talk about the play, she was sure it was going to be the fights that came out of it. Although, maybe their scene would make it into one of those conversations once or twice. No, that would definitely come up, what a scene. Breaking eye-contact to look down at the ground as she walked. Still reeling from the confrontation with her mother, and almost desperate to get her thoughts as far away from it as possible. Raven said the first thing that came to mind. "Adriane wanted to die." Yes, probably weird he was talking about his baby mama like that, but she was so jealous, and it was humorous.

She thought about it a bit more clearly. "I think I would be too though." Who wouldn't? It probably would of been upsetting to see your... well, someone up there like that... right. Alaska. Damn it. She hoped she didn't care as much about it, it was just a play. Besides they had their own amazing stage kiss, which was, no offense to Mason but ten times better. Smiling at the thought of her possible relationship they had yet to define, Raven, and relationships? Weird. But maybe it would be a good kind of weird.

Juliette

Juliette raised an eyebrow at her, surprised at she understood and well, saw right through her. Looking at the necklace her mother supposedly gotten her, giving a nod. It was pretty. What else was JJ supposed to say in this situation? Oh, glad to know our mom's suck? Although, it was kinda cool to have someone who understood how she felt. Furrowing her eyebrows at Belle's words, remembering the twitter conversation and scoffing when she was reminded of Grace. She didn't exactly hate her cheer captain, she just... was too soft. "Oh. Right, right. Let's just hope your talents are as good as your looks." Shockingly, she smiled at her. What? It wasn't like Juliette couldn't make friends, she had plenty of friends, but having someone she might actually relate to was different.

Their moment didn't last long when a voice called her name, turning around to see him. She didn't exactly forget Belle's words about him, but she was curious. was he was weird, that was clear. She rolled her eyes and decided to make her way over there.Juliette shrugged, wanting to get this over-with as soon as possible. "Well." She gestured to him, waiting. "Speak."
