"If I get hurt on your watch, you're paying my bills. I'm in high school, but practically a broke college student," Jordan groaned, showing that all she had in her pockets was a phone. No bundled up bills or handfuls of coins.

"Heck yeah. Jordan and Kris, back at it again," he said, waiting for Kris to reappear with her brother. "Hey, buddy. Miss your cousin?" she asked, going over and giving him a big hug. She really did like the boy. In fact, she figured most of the family did.

They just hoped Jordan wouldn't corrupt him.

"So, Richie, ready to see how the cool kids do stuff?" she asked, knowing that they wouldn't be doing anything too reckless with a child with them. Her aunt and uncle would kill her. And she kinda needed them to host her for a bit longer.

"Anyway, Kris, I'll drive," she said, grabbing her keys with the brightly colored East Grove lanyard. It also had her gym card, her Panera card, her grocery store card, and her student ID. Yeah, she was one of those people with a lot of things on her key chains.

"So, where should we head first? Just tell me where to turn and stuff. I was thinking I could use some chicken tenders," she said. Jordan didn't like burgers, so chicken tenders were her version of hitting up a burger joint. Something casual, cheap, and deep fried.

What else could a girl ask for?

"Maybe then we could do a little shopping and race down the aisles in shopping cats? Wait, we got a kid. Never mind," she said, making her way towards the door. Jordan was clearly excited to explore the new city.

"Although I do need to actually stop at the grocery store and buy the stuff I'll need for dinner. I'll pay for it and that way I can just bring home whatever I don't use here," she said, already picturing the dinner she'd make for the family that night. It wasn't a big deal. She actually did love cooking.

"Come on, kiddos. We're going exploring," she said, jumping over the last two stairs and calling for Richie and Kris to follow her.

((That could be possible. XD I've never really developed their dad much aside from being an overly strict father and having problems with Jace, but spoiling Ash.
Other than the fact that in another one, he got named Steve and became a character somehow. XD

AWW, CHASE. He's so cute!))

Ash closed the door and followed him into the house. "Well, a nice surprise, but still a surprise. I did not expect to see you again. Well, until school, anyway." She shrugged and started back towards the pool, just fully expecting Chase to follow her. She'd left her phone out there, after all.

"Pool. I needed some relaxation after last night... and to, yes, pull the game of Twister out of the pool. And the rocks that we held it down with. Kind of surprised we didn't drown trying to put that in place." She said, shaking her head at how stupid that had been.

"It's cool. I just called the maid and asked her to come out, so I didn't really clean up much, either." Ash shrugged since it really hadn't been that big a deal, and walked outside to the pool, where a still somewhat wet game of Twister was lying out on the deck, trying to dry.

Now, Ash had handled this all really well with all sorts of calmness and laid-back answers, and while Chase talked, she had taken her towel off and started to dry her hair, figuring she wouldn't be getting back into the pool for a while. However, she froze when he asked to hangout again, before replying. "Yeah, I would love to." She cleared her throat and went back to drying her hair. "When were you thinking? And what would you want to do? Preferably something sugarless."

--

((Shh. Do not feel sympathy for this Mason. XD))

Mason, not wanting to be the kind of person to bring people down, share his feelings, or, like Mia predicted, let people feel pity for him, replaced his rather sour expression with a smirk. He didn't typically smile and usually had a simple smirk on his face.

"Nothing. Got some flowers to brighten up our apartment, and then decided that we'd just end up killing them. And I may have forgotten that this one," Mason pointed to a specific flower, "just so happens to be one that Drake is horribly allergic to, so I'm debating on what to do with this waste of twenty dollars."

Mason then passed her the flowers with a smile. "Here. You can have them. You deserve them. Just maybe don't tell Jack who they're from." He wasn't sure if Jack was aware of Mason's reputation, but after the chaos of the party, he would rather not let Jack know he was handing out flowers.

He then leaned back, loosening up his tie so that it wasn't restricting his throat so much... or at least, that's what it felt like it was doing. "So, what are you doing?" Mason asked and then noticed her clothing. "Let me rephrase that: Why are you out for a run?"

--

"I do not--" Jace started to argue with Zia but then sighed, his eyes falling shut for a moment before he nodded his head. "Alright, yeah, I guess we can get some ice cream." Maybe she was right and he was looking a little creepy, standing by the beach side looking out at the ocean all alone. So he started to walk along with Zia, still feeling a little bit uncomfortable with the whole thing.

"Umm, what brings you to the beach?" He asked and glanced at her before looking back at his shoes. One thing Jace had to admit to himself was that Zia was pretty, beneath all the funny makeup and piercings. When was the last time he had thought someone was pretty?

(I got um Sophia and Arlo if lost doesn't want to do something with him)

(It's an idea. We can also brainstorm other stuff. Chase and Ash are just so innocent and adorable)

Chase had followed her out, already hot in his outfit now that the sun was beating down. He took off his hoodie to reveal the crumpled t-shirt underneath. He then took off his shoes and socks and sat on the deck with his feet hanging in the water.

"We were on the sickest sugar high I've ever been on. I'm surprised that didn't kill us," he said with a laugh. "Hey, we'd be all over the news. Found dead at a house party. Everyone there would be suspects. It'd be pretty cool actually," he said. Well, except for leaving his siblings without him. That wouldn't be as cool.

He looked at the Twister board. "Yeah, the memories are coming back. I got tangled in it here," he said, pointing at a small rip.

"I don't know. We just hada bunch of fun. Why let it end?" he asked, before shrugging. "I don't know. We could go surfing, but I don't know how to surf. We could see a movie, but then we couldn't talk. We could get some candy, but that had sugar," he said, unable to think of an idea. "We could hang out here?"

***
(But he was sad and now he gave Mia flowers XD)

"All you need to do is water them, Mason," she said, glancing at the flowers. They were beautiful and she wasn't sure she believed his story, but she let it slide for now. She'd befriend him first before pushing and trying to get all his dirty little secrets and the details of his life.

"Although, it might be a good idea not to bring anything into the house that Drake is allergic to. He's a nice kid," she said, pausing a bit. "I'm allergic to bug spray, so just don't spray it around me," she laughed, but mentally scolded herself. Really? Why does Mason need to know that? It makes you sound weird.

"Oh, uh, thanks," she said, taking the flowers and smelling them. "They look and smell beautiful. But what do you mean by 'I deserve them'?" she asked, a bit confused by his statement.

"And, yeah, don't get me started on Jack. He's all sad because Sophia and Jace spent practically the whole night at the beach and I went out to Walmart with Drake," she said, rolling her eyes. Jack would not appreciate the fact that Mason had given her flowers, even if it was just because he didn't want to throw them away. Flowers weren't cheap.

"Why a run? I'm an athlete, buddy. I gotta stay in shape. Plus, I figured I'd leave Jack home with some pudding to make him feel better and I don't really have many friends and I didn't have anything else to do," she said with a shrug. It sounded sad when she said it like the, but she didn't mind. She was used to being alone.

(We could do Arlo with one of your other characters? Or we can just not. That's cool too)

((Except that it would just be Mason staring intently because apparently Mick and Jace would be equally oblivious. XD
BUT WAIT... and then ironically, Mason is oblivious about Mia. XD

Pssh. You can kidnap Drake. It shall not save him.))

((They are quite cute together. XD And separately.))

"Except would they just think that we were drunk, and then made stupid choices? Think about. No one would have known that we had died from a sugar high." Ash pointed out, as if that was important. "We could make history with this information. Maybe save the world one day or something."

"I was wondering why my Twister was ripped!" Ash replied. "See, we should try playing it not in the water and not on a sugar high so that it's fun."

Ash wrinkled up her nose. "Yeah, no sugar. I still feel sick from last night." With her hair now mostly dry, she dropped the towel to the ground and sat beside him, dangling her feet in the water, too. "Aww, you don't want to see a movie because you want to talk with me? How sweet." She was going to get at least a little bit of teasing out of that.

"I can surf. Well, sort of. It's been a couple years. But the beach is nice. Or we could just go walk around town, maybe see some people that will mention all of those Snapchat videos and get some of that teasing out of the way." Because Ash knew that when she went to school the next day, there would be teasing everywhere.

--

((That is true... aww, Mason. XD))

"Bug spray?" Mason echoed. "Wow. That is a little weird. Didn't know it was possible. I am allergic to absolutely nothing." Which was the only truth that he had spoken so far... well, okay, Drake really was allergic to some flowers, but that had nothing to do with why Mason was now giving them up.

"You deserve them because you are a decent person and I doubt many people give you flowers." Mason answered. In all reality, his reasoning was as simple as that. He didn't know Mia enough to have a better reason than that.

"Really? Wow. Jace has game, who knew?" He laughed. "Maybe I shouldn't have tried to set him up with Elita. It would appear that my little Jacey has some skill and doesn't actually need me to help him. And yeah, I heard all about Drake's trip last night. I have never seen that kid so excited about a trip to Wal-Mart."

"You remind me of Drake." Mason shook his head. For some reason, about 99% of Mason's conversations somehow revolved around Drake, or at least had him mentioning his baby brother. Maybe because in Mason's opinion, he was bland and Drake... Drake had it all. "He runs probably twice a day, and has football, soccer, baseball, and basketball practice on top of that. He never stops moving, and yet he's still always hyper as can be." Mason knew why Drake remained so active. It was good way to try and prevent depression.

((Oh my gosh. XD Mason is going to be protective of Jace AND Elita.

So, seeing as how Elita and Mick are heading to town if I'm following correctly...
And Jace and Zia are already IN town...
They could somehow meet up and Mick and Zia, being somewhat social, could somehow get all four of them stuck together which would give Jace and Elita perhaps some time to talk? XD
Otherwise, I have no clue.
I would just like to point out that ALL of the characters are in town and could totally pass each other and meet up randomly. XD Chase and Ash, Mason and Mia... Jordan, Kris, and eventually Drake...))

"Alright, let's get going then, huh?" Jordan asked. She pushed open the door and made her way to her car. She figured Kris would lock the door to the house. She didn't have a key so she couldn't have locked it even if she had wanted to.

While she was waiting for her cousins to follow her, Jordan's phone rang. She pulled it out, pressing the green button when she saw the name on the screen.

"JoJo, you're finally answering my calls," the voice on the other end said.

Jordan frowned. "What do you want, Kyle?" She hadn't been answering his texts or calls, but she figured she should get ot out of the way so it didn't ruin her time with Kris.

"Just missing my girl. When are you coming home?" he asked.

"Kyle, we broke up. I'm not your girl anymore. You're just a bit of a jerk," she sighed. She glanced towards Kris and lowered her voice. "I told you, I'm spending some time with a cousin while my parents are gone. I'll still be at school, just not at home."

"I miss you," Kyle said.

"That's not what you said when I saw those picture of you kissing Kailey," she hissed.

"I said I'm sorry."

"Sorry doesn't cut it."

"Jordan-"

"Goodbye, Kyle," she said, pushing the red button and getting into the drivers seat.

When she saw Kris, she grinned. "Ready to go?" she asked.

(take Arlo. Adriane will destroy him and Zeke will... well, i don't know but i don't think that would go well. haha.
do it. all the characters passing by each other at random times. especially siblings and protective brothers.)

"You know what, Jace, that is a grand idea." Zia smiled at him. They had finally made to the ice cream shop, so she pulled the door open for him. "Next time, I will totally invite you to come. Only problem is my phone doesn't have your number, and I would rather not go to your house to get you or ask Ash to tell you I want to hangout. See my predicament?" For some reason, she was actually having fun with Jace and starting to relax around him a little bit. He was nice, although that wasn't much of a surprise since he looked like a stereotypical nice guy.

{Ew I don't like guys like that Kyle. But I also have bad experiences with Kyles. Funny enough, the Kyle I know actually did cheat on his girlfriend and rumor had it that he texted her later begging her to take him back. I remember seeing her trying to kill him with her eyes during class it was the best thing}

Kris had seen her on the phone, so she took her time in getting ready. She slowly helped Jordan get his shoes on before putting on her own, and then she headed outside in time to see Jordan hang up. It didn't look like a very nice conversation. She wanted to ask if she was okay, but she wouldn't do that until Richie was in the back "Yup, all ready! Hold on, I gotta put Richie in his car seat."

She strapped him down in his seat as he kicked his feet idly. She shut the back door and approached Jordan before she could get into the driver's seat, lowering her voice so Richie wouldn't hear. "Everything okay?" she asked, concern obvious in her voice. "That didn't look like a very pleasant conversation so I want to make sure you're okay. I won't ask, but..." She was, of course, worried. She was willing to fight anyone for her family. She'd even gone toe to toe with a cliche PTA mother before when the mother's kid had tried bullying Richie. Kris didn't like fights, but she had won that one. She would definitely fight anybody who was upsetting Jordan.

{The PTA mom part was totally necessary ok}

(You guys are so fast! I need to clean a Guinea pig cage, respond to the chatting, and reply to roleplays(

(Poor Mixk XD)

(Arlo's gotta get a ring first)

(guys like that are gross :/)

Jordan nodded when Kris approached her outside of the car. She hadn't told Kris much about her breakup with Kyle. All she'd said was that they weren't working out. Even if she were to be honest, it wouldn't make much of a difference. Kyle was the hot quarterback with good grades. What else could a high school girl want?

"Yeah. I'm, uh, fine for now. Let's just enjoy our day and I'll tell you later. Promise," she said. She pushed past Kris and got into the car, grabbing a mint an popping it into her mouth.

She did what to tell Kris, but she didn't want to ruin their day. They were planning on having so much fun. Kyle couldn't take that away from Jordan.

And she had no doubt Kris would jump to her defense. It was a good thing she didn't go to school with Kyle. If Kris tried to protect her, Kyle would just spread rumors and turn the whole school against Kris. That's why Jordan wasn't saying anything. She was decently popular and didn't need that taken away.

Mick had gone straight home and only damaged he flowers a little bit. Eliza was overjoyed to see them, gave him a big hug, and the two looked through all of her birthday presents before Mick found an excuse to leave. He'd given his mom the flowers and kiss in the cheek before grabbing his spare helmet and hopping back on the bike.

He made his way to the flower shop' sparking lot and fired off a text to Elita, letting her know he was there. He glanced in the windows and spotted a boy behind the counter. Elita's brother? Mick wanted to go in and introduce himself, maybe make some friends, but decided he should listen to the girl.

There must be a decent reason she didn't want him to go in. He turned off his motorcycle and wandered around the outside of the shop. It was a cute little building and he imagined himself stopping here often to pick up a little something for the two girls in his life. His mom and sister deserved more than he could give them and his father had died three years ago.

His phone background was still him and his dad at his first baseball tournament. His team, the Fighting Emus, had won first, along with the weirdest name award. It was a fond memory and seven year old Mick with his missing teeth was pretty dang adorable.
