Boarding School: The good years

JONATHAN

"No, abuela, no!" Jonathan shouted into the phone. "Porque I' m que comienza clases pronto."

He listened to her ranting about being careful and him not calling her through gritted teeth. She needed to understand he wasn't tweleve anymore.

"Si, si, te quiero también," he sighed. He did love her, she was just so overprotective.

He pressed end and looked up. He laughed. This would be hard to navagate.

"Looking for your room?"

Jonathan looked up. There was a girl with white blonde hair and a peculiar dress style. She was wearing a neon purple dress and black and white stockings with combat boots.

"Uh...yeah," he replied, eyes wide. "I'm Jonathan."

She seemed used to the attention because she grinned and extended her hand. "Bethany. But just call me Beth."

"Nice to meet you," he replied. She pointed out a medium sized dorm room for him.

"Gracias," he replied, walking away. His gutair case was actually pretty heavy. He unlocked the room and looked around.

"Hey," another guy said. Jonathan grinned.

"Roommates," he nodded. "I'm Jonathan."

"Duncan," he smiled. "And this is Ace and Red."

"Es muy agradable para satisfacer a todos ustedes," he responded. "It's very nice to meet you all."

BETHANY

She watched the guy with the gutair, Jonathan, walk away. She looked around. She was supposed to help Shane sell today. But it didn't seem like that was happening. This was her first day and she really needed to prove herself.

"Excuse me?" A girl asked.

"Yeah?" Beth responded.

"Just wondering if you knew where I could find my room?" She asked.

Bethany nodded. "I'll walk you there."

She had been here a few times before, just looking the place over. She knew about where everything was.

**Anyone can join Beth. Even a "he" I just put "she" to put a gender. **

Ace/Jay
"No problem." I said to Duncan.

I smiled at Jonathan. "It's nice to meet you too. Although I have to say I know more french than I do spanish. Guess sleeping in that class didn't help me." I joked earning a few laughs.

I spotted the guitar and perked up a bit. Red had also noticed this. "Cool another musician." She said. Jonathan nodded with a small smile. "Do you play and instrument?" He asked Red.

Red shrugged. "Well I guess we'll have to find out." She mused.

"Well I was just about to hit the skate park, if anyone is interested." He offered.

"I certainly am." I replied.

Riley "Red

I shrugged. "I'm not much of a skater," I said. "I have an astounding lack of coordination. But you guys have fun!"

I waved at them and went back out into the hallway to see what else I could get myself into. This school surely was interesting, and big. There had to be more students just wandering around that I could join.

As I walked, I passed by a room that spilled conversation out into the hallway. I smiled and backtracked, turning into the room.

"Hey, I'm Riley," I introduced, butting into whatever conversation they were having. "But most people call me Red." I thought for a moment, "Though it's really up to preference I suppose."

The group stared awkwardly at me for a minute. I was used to it, I tended to attract strange glances every now and again.

At last one of the girls stepped forward, a big smile on her face. "Hi, I'm May. It's wonderful to meet you!"

Matt~~

Nick and I entered the room. It was bigger than ours, and remarkably more furnished. The couch could hold three people, and there was an eating table, as well as other chairs for people to sit at.

I moved to the corner and sat in one of the chairs, unclipping the guitar case and sliding it out.

The girl, May I think her name was, came over and sat in front of me, "play something."

I slipped a pick out of my wallet and strummed. It was remarkably in tune despite all of the travel' "what should I play?"

"what do you know?"

"A lot. Ever heard of the Decemberists?"

She nodded, "yup."

I started playing softly, making the changes between the chords choppy so they noticed, and then speeding up as the words entered. I couldn't sing like him, and I never would, so every song I did was changed in some way. My voice could not go as high, or have that twinge so I tended to play in a lower key and sing in a more monotone voice, which seemed similar to Ray Lamontagne to me.

After the song was over May clapped and said, "how long have you been playing?"

"Most of my life. Its the only instrument I've kept with."

-Other: She has bite marks at her forearm. One of the kids at school bit her when they were pretending to be tigers.

Style of Dress: She usually wears some casual clothes when she's at school, such as jeans and t-shirts and sometimes shirts. She's also wearing a lot of cardigans and vests. When she's not at school she wears something a bit more formal, like dresses or skirts. It depends on where she's going. She doesn’t go anywhere without her black wayfarers. She has a little necklace around her neck with a little heart of silver on it. Her brother gave it to her at her fifteenth birthday.

Personality: She can be a little rough with people she doesn’t know, but change into a very nice person when they get to know each other. She can also be a little annoying sometime, but that’s not often. She’s almost always happy, even though it doesn’t look like that. When she first arrive at the school she’s pissed at her parents, but that doesn’t last long. She can also be very nice to people. Some teachers like her, and some don’t, but that’s only because she daydreams in boring classes. Even though she doesn’t pay attention in class, she get good grades because of her reading.
If someone calls her by her full name she can get very angry, that’s why she doesn’t tell anyone what her real name is.

-Weaknesses and Flaws: She can't resist window frames which are that big that you can sit in them. It’s the same with thick fences and stairs.
-Likes/Interests/Skills: Play piano and guitar, good singer, songwriter/storywriter, good to draw, read, talk to her older brother, sit by herself, daydream, talk with other people, rain, her diary
-Dislikes: Spiders - she's terrified of them. Rich people, people you can't trust, insects, sleep, dark - she believes in ghost and such things. She doesn't like her parents either.

History: She was born in London and grew up there. Her parents had jobs which they meant was more important than their children, so she spent much time alone when she was younger. Her brother, which was five year older, took care of her when he was home. When she turned thirteen her brother moved to the USA and she visited him from time to time. At her fifteenth birthday party she almost burned down the house when the fireworks at the cake blew off, and that’s why her parents moved her to a boarding school in the USA, where she could be with her brother the rest of the summer.

Family: Her older brother Jason, her mother Allison and her father Mark.

Up for Love? Sure. PM me?

Jenny

“Remember, you can-” He begun. “Call you anytime I want,” I finished,for the third time that day. “Jason, I’m not stupid. Don’t you think I’ll remember what you’ve told me?” I looked over at him, grinning. He smiled back to me.

Five minutes later both of us was out of the car. “You know, you can’t be mad at them forever, Jenny,” Jason said as he put his arm around me to give me a hug. He was the best brother in the whole world, even though he’s five year older than me. “I know,” I mumbled into his jacket.

“Now, don’t remember to make some friends and have fun, sweetheart,” he introduced before he shut the door. I waved at him as I watched him drove away. Now, let’s see what I can do..

I took my clear black wayfarer glasses on and slang my bag over my shoulder. Then I grabbed my suitcase and headed to the buildings in front of me. I didn’t know where to go, so I headed to the nearest building and opened the door, but I stopped in the door frame when all the people in the room glared at me. I just stood there at first, and then I said: “What are you looking at?” That was stupid of me. Why didn’t I just ask where I was supposed to put my stuff?

Marianne

I got out of my room as I heard someone playing guitar. I went there to grab my cellphone, but found myself going back to the living room. It was some guy. I heard him and May talking, and then she noticed me and nodded me to approach. "Hi, I'm Maria," I introduced myself. And there was another guy at that stayed by the door.

"You are?" I asked, with a grin.

*Bolteh =D*

Nick

"Name's Nick, nice to meet ya," I told her. I gestured her to come closer. "Just me, or do those two already seem like a couple of love birds?"

"Seems like it," she laughed.

"So, this your first year here too?" I asked.

"Yeah, I think a lot of kids are new this year," she commented.

"Yeah, like a bunch of lost puppies," I said.

Matt began to play another song, and me and Maria drifted over to listen. The two didn't even notice us there. There was a bang at the door, and we all looked. Maria walked over and opened it. A girl was standing there with her hands full. "Hi, I'm Shannon."

*Bolt... :p*

Shannon

Every day was the same thing. I couldn't get anywhere in time. Not even on the first day of school! I quickly parked my BMW on the school's campus driveway and got my bags. My red, wavy, big hair was rebel - the wind wasn't also a help. It blown strongly on the valley. I looked at the school : it was big and spacey. I could see the dorms, the gym behind the main building and all the surrounding campus. We were entering fall and the leaves were already demonstrating it - oranges and browns were slowly painting them.
I launched myself to the entrance and went to the reception.

"Name miss?" The lady asked.

"Shannon Black" I answered.

"Room 302. Up in the third floor (?)."
I nodded, thankfully and rushed up.
I got to the room and music filled the air. Someone was paying guitar1 I knocked at the 302 and a guy opened. I couldn't help but feel awkward, and oh! He was cute.

"Hi, I'm Shannon"

"Heya there, you must be the new roomie. I'm Nick. I'm in the other room." He simply asked.

I got in the room with all my bags behind me. There were two more girls and the guitar guy. They all turned as I walked in.

"Hello, I'm Marianne but call me Maria"

"Welcome to the room" Someone shouted. I got a thigh hug from another girl- she looked freaking bubbly.

"Hi-i"

"So, guess our room is now completed" Maria said.

"We still miss one in ours" The guitar guy said as he got up " Name's Matt, by the way"

"We should have a welcome party in our room"" May said with huge smiley face " I'll bake a cake!"

"Count me in" Nick replied " Parties are phenomenal to meet the ladies" He winked at Maria and she slightly blushed.

"I'm going to put my bags in place but I'll go too!" I asked while going to my room. Maria came after me, looked the meant to say something...

D: Riley walked into May and Maria's room (and I suppose now Shannon's room) and said hi, but was ignored

She did? *goes to check* Oh, right! Sorry, I'll just make everyone fit by mixing up the the timeline.

Marianne

I watched Shannon walk in a dump all her stuff in the bed on the only free room. "So, what now?"

"Party right? Wanna supply the music, Matt?" I suggested, eyeing the guitar.

"Sure," he simply answered. Then, a head popped into the room.

May quickly introduced herself. But what the heck was this girl running on?! She was like in fast motion all the time. "I'm Maria. Marianne actually, and in my case, it's not up to preference," I told the girl, smiling.

"We0re having a party! Wanna join us?" Shannon suggested.

Thanks

Riley "Red"

"We're having a party! Wana join us?" a girl named Shannon suggested.

I smiled. "A party sounds great!" I agreed. I walked into the room to find two more guys hanging out along with the three girls. They introduced themselves as Matt and Nick. Matt had a nice looking guitar on his lap. I mentally noted that I approved of him.

"I'm going to bake a cake!" May announced. She grabbed a cake pan and clutched it to her chest, smiling widely.

"Why do I have a feeling that we shouldn't be letting May near an oven?" I asked Shannon who was standing nearby.

Maya

"We're having a party! Wana join us?" i raised my head and look to the direction away from Ben.
Hmph, a party, huh...It's too early for winter. I walked passed Ben and entered the room where the noise came from.
Inside, there were about three boys and a few girls preparing to bake a cake. The girl was smiling widely and i rolled my eyes in discomfort.
"I see you all are having a nice tea party around here." I chuckled as i leaned at the door post inside the room.
"Mind i care to join, i would love to wear a beautiful and bake care to share to everyone...sigh...that would be...sick." i mock with a melodramatic tone as i satred at each one of them.

Marianne

I considered the question the new girl, Riley, had asked Shannon. "Just... keep 911 in speed dial." I wished I was half joking. I walked towards May, behind the balcony. I took out eggs from the fridge. Was there any flour? What did you need to bake a cake anyway?

And suddenly, another girl walked in. Hum. And she was being... unpleasant? "Well, if you're simply that excited to join, please make your own. I don't recall anyone inviting you in. And you're plus one, the rudeness." What was with this girl? She just walked in to somebody else's room and acted all bad mood on them? While they weren't even invited?! Maria took one step away from the eggs, afraid what the girl might respond would make her want to waste the eggs on the girl.

Maya

"Well, if you're simply that excited to join, please make your own. I don't recall anyone inviting you in. And you're plus one, the rudeness." this girl told me who was in the kitchen.

"Oh, i'm sorry, i didn't mean to break the sweet-happy-mood, with all of you singing and dancing till you drop dead." i chuckled more. "I thought that you said that there's a party here."

"But you don't have to be so rude just by coming here." someone said in which i ignored to identify.

"Oh, i'm so sorry again. I think i need my mom. Heh, party's are suppose to get to know people, right? So here am i? Better get adapting, guys. Everyone's not the same lifeless robots around here."
