Country School

OF course you don't have to do a country you originate from

Name: Alice Crocetta

Country: Italia (Italy)

Age: 15

Personality: Is loud when she gets excited or happy. Very welcoming of anyone into her life and always looks on the bright side, but quick to change. She relies on old methods but is quick to follow the latest fashion statements to a T. She puts her own spin on things but is strict on certain subjects. She smiles alot.

Looks: She has dark brown hair and glowing brown eyes. Her skin is light and she comes straight of the fashion buisness.

History: Her father was a widely known fashion designer all over great italy bringing his daughter up in one of the great fashion capitals of the world. Since he was away so much she was brought up by a maid as her own sort of daughter. She never knew her mother and doesn't really care.

Other: Up for love, likes new things.

Name: Josh McCray

Age: 16

Personality: More than anything, Josh is very laid back. He has a generally optimistic outlook on life, and believes that things will turn out for the best. He dislikes pretentious people, and anyone who has a need to impress others, and is never afraid to tell someone if he thinks they’re being fake. He’s a joker, and this sometimes translates into a slightly chauvinistic attitude. He’s stubbornly loyal to his friends, sometimes to the point of stupidity.

Looks: Josh stands at around about six foot, with the straight, sandy-coloured hair, bright blue eyes and bronzed skin of a typical Australian. He’s rarely seen without a smile on his face, and equally rarely seen in formal attire. Rather, he generally wears board shorts, a t-shirt and sandals.

History: Josh was born in the North Shore area of Sydney, and grew up with the beach as a part of his life. He spent as much time there with his friends as he spent being taught in the program, and always enjoyed the beach more. In his summer holidays, he usually went surfing at one of the beaches, or went on lifeguard patrol at one of the more major ones. He also played cricket during the summer, and switched to rugby during the winter.

Other: Up for love

since I called Poland...(:

Name: Bastian Carter

Age: 17

Personality: Just kind of goes with the flow. He can be arrogant and stubborn but mostly he just dosen't care. More than anything he just wants to be done with all this. He's extremely clever and refuses to lose his temper. It's very rare when he does.

Name: Melissa (Lissa) Diakos

Country: Greece

Age: 16

Personality: She is loud and friendly. She doesn't gossip about people, but somehow she knows a lot about everybody. She's just one of those people who people come to for advice and a shoulder to cry on. A great cook, she always has something for everybody to eat. She's well liked by pretty much everyone at the school... she thinks

Looks: http://circe-nausicca.deviantart.com/art/Greek-Girl-16323154 Curvy, but not fat. She enjoys food, and actually thinks that really stick thin girls, like the models you see today, look positively gross.

History: Lissa comes from a middle class family in a town called Filiatra. She grew up close to the ocean and loves to swim. She grew up in a loving family with three brothers and two other sisters. Her father was a baker who people through out Greece would come to for his delectable pastries and bread, and her mother was a wedding planner. She grew up very close to her family and, yes, everyone is still alive and well. She talks to them every day. She was also raised in a very religious family, and still tries to make it to mass when she can. She doesn't preach to people, but when they ask questions, she loves to answer them. She was almost considered a genius when she was younger because she learned to talk when she was five and a half months old, and she could walk before that. She learned to read small words before she was one and could read second grade books when she was two. So far, she has mastered English, Ancient Greek, Latin, and Italian. She is currently working on Spanish. She is good in everything, except for math. She can do it, but just not as well as everything else.

Other: Up for love.

Sorry, It's Christina Amazon.

Ok we have enough people so who wants to start us off??

Raquel

I got off the yacht at some beach, no one in sight. Before I could say anything, the yacht left the shore. I was standing in the beach, looking shocked, alone and with three suitcases.
I sat down on the floor, this was supposed to be a school so some one had to show up. Right?
Something moved ahead of me, and I looked up.

*anyone can jump in!*

Ayu -

I stretched my arms, not yet ready to get off the boat. However, my decision was quickly made for me when somebody gave me a light shove, and I ended up stumbling out, a suitcase in each hand. I sighed and threw down the bags, letting them fall with a satisfying 'thunk'.

All of a sudden, somebody shifted. I twirled around, but not nearly as fast as the other person. She appeared to be European, but other than that, I couldn't tell much else about her. She had three suitcases beside her, and appeared very frustrated by something.

"Hello?" I ventured. "I am Ayu. Ayu Pradmati." Not sure how else to react, I extended a hand.

"Nice to meet you, Ayu. I'm Raquel."

Alice~~

So the island was crescent shaped.

The brunette skipped along the shoreline of the ocean, her untied hair flowing in the wind. Her sundress was like a tornado waving and flapping about, she looked like a "photo out a magazine" like her father would have put it. It was pretty out, the sun shinning the perfect breeze and what not. SHe had waled the whole round of the island, the plane arriving early and all. The people at the building were nice enough to take her bag so she was left to wander the island.

"Watch out for the jelly fish!" They said to her as she started her walk.

"What's that?"

"They are big bags full of jelly that walk out of the ocean and look for victims to sting!" Alice didn't notice the smirk in his voice.

So now, the scared Alice was walking 10 feet away from the shoreline,keeping an eye out for the evil 'bags of jelly'. She saw the other dock ahead and the girls standing near, too near to the water. A light skinned one was standing right next to where the water ended! THe dark skinned one was on the other side! The jelly bags could smell them! Wait could they smell? She didn't know and care, she was running down the beach yelling in her native tongue. The girls looked confused and sort of svared of the Italian. As Alice approached them she slowed to a stop, out of breath.

"Can I help you?" THe light skinned one said, of course in english.

"The jelly-," She started, "The jelly bags!"

"Jelly fish?" The dark skinned one smiled, "What about them?"

"They are gonna eat you!" She waved her arms in that typical italian way. As she noticed the girls start to snort she put her arms down, confused. The girls burst out into laughs, leaving Alice more confused. She composed herself and put on a bright smile.

"THey got you good!" The light skinned one said, still laughing and clutching her stomach.

*Melissa*

I stood on the boat, excitement coursing through my veins. I couldn't belive that I, Melissa Calliope Gaia Diakos, was chosen for this special program. The island was absolutly beautiful, the bright blue waves washing onto the white sand. There were a few people on the shore, all of them girls. At least I would have some compainion ship, right?

The boat dropped me off, and the girls stopped to look at me. I smiled at them. One of them, a small girl, looked embarrassed, and wouldn't meet my eyes. "Darling, what's the matter?" I asked her, my motherly insticts kicking in. She looked up and me and started babbling in Italian. Good thing I could speak it.

"The locals made fun of me, telling me that jelly fish were bags of jelly that come out of the ocean to look for people to sting." she said, waving her arms.

I frowned and looked over her shoulder, seeing the two men doubled over with laughter. I walked over to them. The stopped laughing and looked at me. "May we help you?" they asked, quite impolitely if I do say so myself.

"Yes, I just think that it is quite rude of you to tell a girl who doesn't speak the best of English that jelly fish are going to hurt her." I scolded them. They just laughed at me and started making fun of my accent. I finally got tired of hearing their voice, reached into my purse, grabbed two peices of baklava, and stuffed it into their mouth. "Eat something. Your voice is annoying me."

I walked back to the girls, who were staring at me. "What?" I asked. "I can't stop someone from bothering me?"

They all looked at each other and shrugged. The little Italian girl held her hand out to me. "I'm Alice Crocetta."

The next girl, I was guessing Indonesian, came up to me next. "I'm Ayu. Ayu Pradmati."

"Wonderful to meet you." I said with a warm smile. The last girl stepped up. "Raquel Pereira Reis. I'm from Portugal." she said.

"How nice to meet you, Raquel." I replied. "I love your hair!"

She laughed and patted it. "Thanks."

That was when we heard the horn of a boat. Someone new was here!

*Billy, mind if Raquel and Josh give it a go? *

Raquel
Good, I was no longer alone. Ayu seemed nice and Alice and Melissa. It was interesting to see the mixture of countries only in four people.
The boat was coming again, and I recalled how rudely they left, without telling me where to go.
"hey! You left me here! Alone" I screamed, approaching the boat. A boy came off, with a smile on his face.
"I believe I haven't left you anywhere," he said, jocking.
I froze, in embarresment, and walked stubbornly back to my suitcases and crossed my arms, sitting on one of them.
He walked towards us, and help out his hand, grabbing his bag with the other. "I'm Josh McCray." he flashed a smile again.

CARL

Arriving in a jolly, white motorboat, Carl stepped out and took in the view around him. The island was a beautiful one, almost like Pulau Sipadan, Sabah. Crystal clear water was filled with shoals of fishes along the current. The coconut trees laid sideways, anticipating and greeting their new guest. The soothing waves rushed onwards as he took a step towards a small shack.

"Haha!! Finally! Mari bercuti!!!" He grabbed his bags and slung them over his shoulder. Rushing into the shabby shack that was selling popsicles and drinks, he slammed them clumsily beside and said:

"Bang! What's good?"

"Eh? We got many icecream. Want Island Surprise?" the local smiled cheerfully.

This was going to be one sweet vacation..

Three other kids around his age were already sitting beside him. They thought he was weird and quirky. Ayu shook her head and laughed. "Kau omong apa? Cuti?" Ayu laughed; Melissa and Raquel were lost in translation.

"Haha, he said let's enjoy our vacation. In Malay that is, I presume.."

"Betul! Hai guys I'm Chan Asmawi Raju Lewis, from Malaysia.Just call me Carl. Nice to meet you!" He grinned and tried on a clumsy backward salute. Melissa laughed and Raquel sniggered; they introduced themselves to Carl. Raquel injected "Vacation, I hardly figure it would be one though..haha"

"True, but one can hope!" He grinned and continued his conversation with Raquel, each rolling on in their thick accent.

Another boat was sailing ashore, but it wasn't merely a boat, it was a grand yatch. Someone stepped out of it..

*There's an opening..anyone?*
*Oo..And sorry I cut in at the wrong moment, Raquel.. um..continue like this has been an hour later or so..*
