"Yeah, somehow they're rich. You gotta feel Ash and Jace's beds. It's like sleeping on a cloud." He had many a time come for a party, and then just stayed to sleep on their nice beds. That and his bed had a whole in it where the spring would jab him in the leg.
"So, we could go around, laying in different beds to feel just how soft they were." Drake suggested. "Although I think you were a beautiful dancer. 10/10."
"Or, they do have a pool if you have a bathing suit."
--
((So I do exactly what Sophia does when I'm sick. XD I lay there and watch Disney movies from my childhood.))
Jace laughed. "You sound about like Ash when she's sick." He replied. Wow. Could Sophia get any more perfect? A Spongebob fan... wow.
"Well, I'm hoping Ash will be smart enough to handle this plan on her so... C'mon." Jace said and started to move his way out of the party.
--
"That does not look healthy." Ash said and gestured towards his stomach. "Do you need, like, a hot towel for that or something?"
"Although true, that still doesn't look healthy." Ash laughed and picked up a fork, looking at the cake. "Do you want to give me a very chef-like rundown of what kind of cake this is?"
Of course, she didn't exactly wait as she took a bite and, after swallowing, grinned at him. "This is delicious."

Mia nodded. "Jeez, maybe I should become friends with them just to sleep over," she said with a laugh. She normally wouldn't befriend someone just to sleep in their bed.
"I'd be happy with checking out the beds," she said, though it seemed like an odd idea for a party. She wouldn't mind avoiding the big group of people out in the party, though dancing with Drake was fun.
"Thanks," she said with a bit of a laugh. "I was just kind of doing what I thought I was supposed to. I'll admit, im good at things, but I don't think dancing is on of them. And also, I'd be cool with going swimming, but I don't have a swim suit. My place isn't that far away so we could take Jack's car and go get it from my place, but I'll leave it up to you decide. You seem to know a little more about parties than I do," Mia said.
***
(Same. Or I try to write if I'm not too sick XD)
Sophia smiled a bit. "I'm sure she can handle it. Let's get out of here," she said. She pushed her way through the crowd, though she did make a detour to grab a bottle of water, and pushed through until she was standing in the driveway of the house.
***
"Eh, it's fine. I'm the kind of kid that used to go outside in the snow shirtless to impress everyone," he said with a laugh. He let his shirt fall back down to cover his stomach.
"Alright, let's see. Well, I'm a by of an amazing chef, but I'm not gonna talk all fancy. Short and too the point. The bottom level is crushed Oreos and butter. The next level is chocolate syrup and cream cheese. The top layer is vanilla ice cream sprinkled with more Oreos. Family recipe passed down for generations," he said, grabbing his own fork and digging in.

"Don't worry, I got it. At our old school, I used to be a hooligan like my brother. I've changed my ways, at least a little," he said. They had caused so much trouble at their last school, Arlo was amazed they hadn't gotten expelled. They had gotten suspended though. "Hey, I guess that does make me a bit of a bad boy with a record," he said out loud, in response to his thinking.
"Yep, dance break. We own this dance floor," he said, though he was pretty confident it wasn't a real dance floor.

"Well, I will say if we testing out beds, it will look really suspicious." Drake explained as he bounced off the bed and spun back around to face Mia.
"We could always get one of Ash's, but I don't think it'd fit you. Or be your style." Drake tapped his chin thoughtfully. "We could go do that, or just suck it up and dance! That would make you look cool."
--
((I can't even do that. XD))
Jace followed after her and once they were outside, he breathed in the beautiful scent of fresh air. "Wow, a ton of high schoolers dancing on each other does not smell good."
--
"Oh, you were one of those guys." Ash laughed. She remembered the guys that did that. Not cool or smart to her, although some of that may have been jealousy that she couldn't.
"Your family knows how to make a cake." She said as she kept eating. "Definitely worth the juice."

So, shall we reduce this to high school only?

"I guess that would look a little suspicious, even if we went from room to room and only stayed in there for a short time," she said with a shrug. She didn't like the idea of taking Ash's swim shark for the same reasons Drake had said. Size and style.
"I'm cool with either. We could dance, but there's no promise I won't embarrass you. Or we could go to my place, grab a swimsuit, and then go out into the pool away from everyone else and hang out," she said, letting him make the choice. Mia was very indecisive.
"Also, interesting factoid. I can't swim. I love being in pools and lakes and stuff, I just stay where I can stand and goof around," she said, "Bt I've never actually learned to swim."
***
"No, it doesn't. If I were you, I wouldn't sleep there for a day or two. Let everything clear out," Sophia said. "Do we want to drive or walk? I mean it's pretty nice out, so walking honestly wouldn't be horrible," she pointed out.
***
"I sti am one of those guys," Chase said with a laugh. "Just wait until winter comes." He dug his fork into the cake, taking another bite. It was just soft enough to put up only a little fight when you reached the bottom layer. Perfect timing.
"Thanks. I think my grandma would appreciate you saying that," he said, looking out over the yard. "She lives out in Wisconsin. That's where I spent the school year until I moved out here full time. I think it was freshman year?" he said, popping open another juice box.

I kept my new characters high school age. I'll make Sophia a senior. And I might just keep Jack as a side character cause re aging him would mess everything up. He'll just be there for advice and dad jokes XD) |

Michael "Mick" Westley | Male | 18/Senior | Ariat Mick is a tall young man with an athletic build. He's about 6'2 and slightly muscular. Mick's skin is rather pale (much of his annoyance) and any attempt to tan results in a nasty sunburn so it isn't uncommon to see him loading up on sunscreen during the summer time. He's got a few freckles, but not too many. His eyes are a beautiful, intense blue. Mick's black hair is kept short and he has a little scruff on his chin. He normally dresses in athletic shorts (even in the winter) but occasionally wears pants. His wardrobe is mostly made up of t-shirts and hoodies but he also brings a set of nicer clothes whenever he goes somewhere. At first glance, most would be a bite scared of Mick. He's a large man with a tattoo of compass on his upper right arm and a hawk on his calf in honor of his grandfather. Mick is truly a giant teddy bear. He's soft and generally doesn't put up much of a fight, even though it results in him getting taken advantage of or manipulated. He also tries to keep things light hearted and isn't very good when it comes to dealing with emotions or deep topics. High School | No Job | None | Other Jordan Adler | Female | 15/Sophomore | Ariat Jordan is a rather short girl at 5'6 with an athletic build. Her blonde hair always seems to be messily pulled into a ponytail as an excuse not to do much to it. Her skin is as pale as can be and her eyes are blue. What Jordan lacks in size, she makes up for in personality. Jordan is always full of energy and tries to be optimistic, though that's not always how she acts. She's full of sarcasm and is as stubborn and competitive as they come. She's also reckless and will do almost anything on a dare or for money which has landed her in the hospital more than once. High School | She's looking but doesn't have one since she quit her old job at the local grocery store. | None | She has a list of dares she's trying to complete before graduating high school as a challenge from her cousin. She's also writing a book based on her experience with it. Mick and Jordan are done |

{If my friend hadn't woken me up at 6:45 in the morning I would probably still be asleep lol.
Chase and Ash would totally win tbh. Cake is a big deal.
Yeah I'm fine with doing just high school. I'll move Tobias and Silvia to side characters and have Elita and Keilana as my mains lol}
"You really wanna be a bad boy, huh?" she said dryly, shaking her head a bit. "I mean, I guess? If you want a really, really loose definition of the typical bad boy." Her first thought of 'bad boy' was usually a motorcycle, leather jacket, and a guy getting detention for misconduct. She really couldn't see Arlo as any of that. He seemed more like a more subdued class clown type.
"I'm sure there's someone out here better than me," Keilana giggled. "Where even are we in this house? I haven't the slightest clue." It was too crowded to really tell anything. "Oh, whatever. Dance with me?"

"What? I've been suspended twice. A prank. A fight. I'd say that makes me a bad boy. Plus, anything is better than being a dork right?" he asked. It was true. After being suspended twice, Arlo's parents wanted him to live out here full time. If he came, Chase and Ella came. That's how it worked.
"Yeah, but we're the best looking ones. Come on," he said with a laugh. Arlo grabbed her hand and pulled her into the enter of the dance floor, the one empty spot he could find. He listened to the music and let himself dance, not worrying about anyone else for once.

Chase and Ash become ruthless when it comes to cake and juice.

{That's fine! That reminds me I had a game I've been putting off for a few weeks...}
"Shut up, dorks are cute," she told him. "Depending on your level of maturity, but you don't seem like the type to be disgusting about it. Embrace your dorkiness, Arlo I-Don't-Know-Your-Surname." Arlo was a lot more tolerable than a majority of the boys she came across. She couldn't stand jocks--they talked too much about things that didn't matter, and frankly, they irritated her quite a bit--but he was different because it was like a role. He was a fake, like her.
"Now that is true," she laughed along with him. "I put effort into looking good. I was gonna be mad if someone didn't compliment me." She grinned and let the music decide how she moved. She held a lot of regard for how good she looked, but she rarely got real compliments by people that weren't a friend.

"So, like I'm cool cause I have much more maturity than Chase?" Arlo asked. He paused. "It's Callahan. Alto Callahan. Bet you can't guess my middle name though," he said. Arlo had embraced the role of a jock, but had still found him excluded from the little group of popular guys. It was odd, but he just assumed that meant he wasn't good enough at faking jock status.
"Don't want to see you mad," Arlington teased. "I didn't put effort into it. I'm naturally good looking," he said, pretending to flip his hair like some 2010 boy band memner. His hair, unfortunately, wasn't long enough to flip, but Cahse's might have been.
He needed Chase. Then he could flip Chase's hair and it'd look just like him.

"What is it with you and being cool?" Keilana huffed. She was such a hypocrite for saying that. It wasn't exactly the same, but they both wanted to be liked. It was similar, but then, she cared a lot more for other people, whether or not it was for selfish reasons. "Whatever. I bet your middle name is something like 'Elizabeth.'" She giggled. She was really bad at guessing games, so she didn't bother to actually try.
"Of course you don't want to see me mad. I know how to pack a punch." Getting angry didn't align with her goals, though, so she knew how to smile and deal with it rather than lash out. It was unsatisfying, but it was better to deal with it than become disliked for petty reasons. "Lies. You probably spend hours daily on your hair. Meanwhile, I just spend time on clothes and I'm done." Occasionally, she used make-up too, like tonight for the party, but she generally went without it.

"It's not that I want to be cool. I want to be liked," Arlo said. This was a tough conversation to have while dancing, but he made it work. "And, no, my name is a lot better than Arlo Elizabeth. I'm not a girl," he said with a laugh.
"Ha, you're funny. Chase is the one that has to spend hours in the bathroom, working on his hair," he said, "'You don't get it, Arlo, it has to be perfect,'" he said, changing his voice to imitate his brother.
"Nah, I pretty much grab whatever's clean, throw it on, brush my teeth, run my fingers through my hair, and it's good," he said. His morning routine took like ten minutes at the most. It was Chase and Ella that took forever in the morning.

"Oh, I know. We'll work on you being liked while being yourself." She felt like she shouldn't be the one to help him when she wasn't exactly herself either. She knew people--she had the common sense and self-awareness that she ignored on a daily basis that allowed her to know what was good for her and others. She knew that being a fake wasn't healthy, but she cared more that Arlo be true to himself rather than herself.
"Ugh, how is it so easy for you?" she complained, half-joking. "I mean, I don't do much daily either, but how do you just run your hands through your hair and make it work?" She knew she usually looked good regardless of how much effort she put in--though she did have her bad days--but she was still disgruntled.

"Sure," Arlo said with a shrug. He wasn't really sure anymore who he wanted to be. He could be real Arlo and risk losing may respect people had for him or he could continue to be fake Arlo and have at least some respect. Well, this was already turning out to be a crazy year.
"I mean, we could always cut your hair to my length. It never really looks bad cause it's so short," he said, running his hands through the short hair. "But also, I think you look better with your hair how it is," he said. It was an awkward compliment but Argo had very little practice complimenting people.

"I like my hair too," Keilana said, grinning at his attempt. She had actually tried cutting her hair before middle school, just above her shoulders, but she hadn't liked it. "This is twice now you've complimented me! I feel victorious!" She felt like she had to say something in return, but she was bad at compliments too. She preferred texting, or simply agreeing with someone.
"Think we should go back to searching for that cake?" she asked after a little while longer of dancing. It was hot again, and she figured it would be a good time to slow down. She wondered what time it was. She had to be back before her parents got back, but knowing them, that wouldn't be for a while.
