(Jack is going to be me with the cute chemistry guy XD I can't pick a favorite conversation)
Jack frowned abbot. "But everyone loves dad jokes. I'm pretty sure that's why Sarah said yes when I asked her to prom," he said. "I was pretty darn smooth in high school. I'm sure I can act the part of a hot jock again," he said with a laugh. "And me watching over Sophia is just me being a good cousin. Speaking of being a good cousin... I'm being a terrible older brother. Where's Mia? She better not have wandered off with some guy." He then raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure you're that old?"
"You never went to many parties, have you?" Sophia asked as she made her way towards the drinks. She slipped through the crowd with ease, smiling and even greeting a few people. She knew almost nobody here. Only a couple that were in her classes or that she'd gone to high school with. When she finally got to the drinks, she kept her distance From Mia and Mason. "Don't bother them," she whispered to Jace. "Looks like my little girl is all grown up." She grabbed a bottle of water, pretending she didn't notice the two of them.
"Fine, be a house plant. I'm sure Ash and Jace won't mind you getting dirt all over the floor," she teased, watching as he talked about the other girls. "Hey, I'm here tonight and I look good, remember? Your words. If you hangout with me tonight so I'm not a lonely dork in the corner, I'll introduce you to some girls that are way better than any you'll find here," she promised. She knew a few girls from different high schools that Mason might be interested in. No promises they'd be interested in him. But this was the first time Mia was having a good time at a party, and she didn't want it to end just because Mason found a girl that caught his interest. Yeah, she felt a little selfish, but couldn't she be selfish for once? "Plus, you're too good for most of these girls," she said with a bit of a laugh.

{I love anything to do with romance, and the fact that his idea of romance = dad jokes is just even better. I'm more of a food person than a joke person, but I'd accept either lol}
Omg that's a lot. I used to be in so many RPs in ye olde forum days but now I'm just on and off all the time and eventually all my RPs just... dwindle....

I knowww it's so sad. I was a part of some p long term RPs, even though half of them were just me and one other person.... And the RPs dwindle right before I get my OCs into romance situations and I'm like "oh come on"}

"You don't need a stupid cake," Arlo groaned as chase carefilly laid the foundation. It was a crust of Oreos and melted butter. As that hardened, he mixed up the cream cheese and chocolate syrup that would constitute he next level of the cake.
"Of course I do. I bring a cake and Ash promised there'd be juice at the party," Chase argued. Arlo leaned against the counter as his brother put ice cream on the top layer.
"Ar," a voice called. Aldo looked down at his sister, putting her on his shoulders so she could watch Chase from above.
"Hey, kiddo. You'll be alright with Becky babysitting you tonight, right? Your big bros are gonna have some fun," he said. The small girl whose name I forgot put her hands on Aldo's hair,
"Uh-huh. You'll come see me when you come home, right?" She asked. Chase looked up, but Let Arlo answer. He was better with chcildren than Chase was.
"'Course I will, but you'll be in bed by then," Arlo answred.
"Nuh-uh," she argued.
Armo flipped her over, attacking her with the tickle monster. "Say you'll be in bed," he threatened. After a few seconds of hysteric laughter, she gave in and agreed with him. Chase put the cake in the freezer.
About half an hour later, the babysitter showed up. Arlo gave her his cell phone number, grabbed the cake, and hopped into the passenger seat of the car.
Chase drove to the school, coming to a stop in the parking lot and looking for the girl.

"You should definitely be a hot jock. All girls love hot jocks. And college guys, so you're set!" Drake told Jack with a cheerful thumbs up. "I'm sure that I am fifteen, almost sixteen. This youthful face is both a gift, and a curse. I get into places discounted because they think I'm a kid, but girls also want to pinch my cheeks and say I'm cute as opposed to make out with me." It was true. Both things had happened many... many times. "Oh! Didn't you see her? She ran off with Mason to go do who knows what!"
Jace looked over, doing exactly what Sophia had said not to do, and made eye contact with Mason. He waved at him, Mason gave him some sort of look, and Jace gave him a thumbs up. "Wait, what do you mean? Do you think they're flirting? Why would Mia want to flirt with Mason of all people?" Jace didn't know much about the world of dating or what went on in the lives of other people, but he did know that Mason was someone that he had made sure Ash never dated. He was bad news, through and through. Jace had seen all of his tricks.
Mason snorted at that and was about to reply when he made eye contact with Jace. He caught sight of him talking with Sophia, made a "ooh, you go, boy" face, and then thumbs upped him back before looking back at Mia. "Anyway, it's quite the contrary. All of those girls," he gestured at them with his Pepsi. "are far too good for me, but they don't need to know that until tomorrow." Mason had a lovely habit of dating and dumping, easily over the course of a single day. Sometimes a week. "But yeah, I'll try and hangout with you until we find you some hot guy."

Adriane sighed at Ash's question. "A bit, I guess? We talk about as much as we need to but none of what we used to talk about it. It's all business and trying to sort out our things. None of it is fun, none of it is hanging out stuff." She explained with a little sad shrug. She looked back at Mason who seemed to be having a wonderful time with Mia. "Should I take him a beer? As a peace offering?"

Jack couldn't help himself. At Drake's complaining, he reached over and pinched the younger boy's cheeks. Until he heard what Mia was doing. "Maybe I should wait for flirting until after I find Mia. I told her she wasn't allowed to date until she was thirty," he said. Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration, but still. He didn't want her hurt. Plus, she was only 17. Still practically a toddler. At least, in Jack's eyes.
"I don't think flirting. Mia's no good at flirting. If anything, it's her awkwardly trying to befriend him," she said. "And why? Is something wrong with Mason?" she asked, a little unsure about his last question. She'll admit, she didn't know much about Mason. Even when she was in high school, she'd had her eyes on a football player in the grade above her. He was now in jail and... oh. Now Sophia wasn't sure if Mia should be following in her footsteps. She was sure Mason was better than Tyler, but maybe she should get Jace's views on this. She grabbed his hand and pulled him through the crowd and into an empty room. "They can't hear us in here. Be honest with me. Is there something wrong with Mia and Mason?"
"Good. Maybe Sophia's right and that's all I need right now? You know, a way to just relax and step away from all the stress of my life. School. Work. If all just kind of sucks at the moment and it's getting harder and harder," she said, a bit surprised by the words coming out of her mouth. She hadn't even shared these feelings with Jack, but now she was telling Mason about them?

Keilana was oddly lucky that her parents decided to go out that night. She had worried she would need to come up with an excuse, but to her surprise, they told her they were going out on a date and left an hour before she had to get going. She headed to the school feeling pretty good about herself and her luck. She did, of course, do her best to look nice without looking like she was trying too hard. Conceited as she was, she had no problem admitting to herself that she had done well in her opinion. She waited at the school, hoping the boys wouldn't bail on her, and she perked up as she saw the car in the parking lot. She headed over and waved as soon as she was pretty sure she was in sight.

"There she is," Chase said, nodding. He had the car in park and waited for her. Both boys had cleaned up for he party. Chase's hair was neatly combed and loaded up with gel. His striped shirt was a couple buttons open and hung loosely over his jeans.
Aldo hadn't done as much. His hair always looked neat and he had just worn a shirt similar to Chase. Besides that, the two boys looked nearly identical.
"Great, so we can't just ride in silence and enjoy each other's company anymore?" Arlo asked. One hung he knew Is he'd refuse to move to the back. She could sit in back by the ice cream cake

((Lost, you better not. I need some drama. XD
I don't know, BUT IT BETTER BE DRAMATIC.
Share your plots, Aurora! XD Let's make them all happen. *evil laughter*))
(("Only seventeen. Still practically a toddler." I love big brothers. XD))
Drake wrinkled up his nose in disgust, which only made him appear both younger and cuter. "They went over by the drinks." Drake said and pointed towards where they were standing not too far away, doing what Drake thought was some serious. "Strange. Mia's not really Drake's type." He hadn't exactly put two and two together and realized that Jack was, in fact, a worried older brother.
--
Jace was a little surprised as Sophia pulled him through his house and after they were out of earshot and he was getting bombarded with questions about Mason, Jace knew he had messed up. He cleared his throat awkwardly. "Well, I... uh... I don't know. I know Mia's a good girl, like really good and Mason is, uh, he's kind of the opposite...?" He trailed off awkwardly. This wasn't how friendship making was supposed to go, was it? Getting dragged into a closet and having to list off the bad qualities of your friends? Or... your friends' older brothers or whatever it was that Mason was to him. "I mean, he's kind of got a reputation for sleeping with girls and then ditching them. I mean, you know, before he dropped out of school. And then there's that whole thing with Adriane which is just a mess." Wow. Mason was a mess.
--
"School and work are stressful, and everyone needs a little time to relax. You're young, Mia. Enjoy it while you can, before you have to start paying bills and keeping people fed." Mason told her. Was that good advice? It sounded like good advice to him. "These are the best years of your life and you don't want to waste them just trying to get good grades or having your nose always in a book. Sometimes, you need to take off your shirt and jump off of a roof into a pool!" He had seen that done before, but did not recommend. "Not literally, just take that metaphorically.
--
Ash laughed. "You know the easiest way to Mason's heart is through alcohol. I don't know why he'd turn you down." She said with a smile and looked towards Mason and Mia. "Although, I mean, I also wouldn't go up there and infringe on that, necessarily... that might make him more mad at you or something."

Jack frowned. "Girls. Sister. Girls. Sister," he said, clearly weighing the two options in his head. Flirt and maybe get over Sarah. Protect his sister. "What do you think, Drake?" He didn't necessarily think Mia was in trouble. If they were over at the drinks, they wouldn't be causing trouble. Although, Mia rarely ever drank at home. Practically never. Would she drink at a party. "Everything is telling me to keep an eye on Mia." He wasn't worried about Sophia. She was with Jace.
Sophia frowned. "Sorry if I'm ruining your night, Jace, but I don't want Mia to get hurt," she said. Especially after hearing Jace's words about Mason. "It's my fault. And if she gets hurt, she won't forgive me," she said. And Sophia wouldn't forgive herself. Mia's first time going out on a limb and maybe trying to connect with a guy? Why did she have to choose Mason? "Jace," she said, pulling a wallet out of her purse. "Will you go flirt with Mia? Then I'll swoop in and distract Mason?" she asked, pulling $20 out of her wallet. She felt bad. If Mia was actually enjoying herself with Mason, she didn't want to ruin it. But she didn't want Mia to get hurt. But it would hurt just as much if Jace flirted with her but never actually wanted a relationship, right? Ugh, this was too much for Sophia to think about.
Mia frowned. The idea was so foreign to her. Even living with Sophia. The older girl was surprisingly calm and level headed at home. The three of them managed to put on a good show whenever family visited. "I feel like I need to though. Jack just has everything figured out and knows what he's doing. He's calm and confident and just good at life and has the grades. Sophia knows all the social stuff and has friends with her at all times. I have to struggle to just keep up with either of them. And if I don't, it means I'm not good enough." She did want to relax, but it felt wrong. Even this party. "I mean, they had to drag me along with them so I would stop studying for Spanish. Trust me, Mason. I want to relax or even do something a little rebellious, but I can't." She leaned against the wall and stared at her feet, surprised at how quickly she'd gone from finally having a nice conversation with someone besides family to unleashing all of her problems onto the poor boy that was just trying to help her out.

(oh my gosh Sophia. haha. best cousin award.)
Adriane laughed. "Fair point," she said and picked up one of the beers, debating on whether or not to take it over to Mason. "Alright, Ash. I'm going to do this." She smiled at her friend, hoping for her support, and then started across the floor towards Mason. She stopped at first, not letting him know she was there and thought about turning back since he looked like he was having a good time with Mia, but Adriane couldn't resist. "Hey, Mason, I bought your favorite." She called out over the music and held the beer out toward him.

{Well if you're doing a fake dating to make someone jealous, please consider: both people in the fake relationship like other people and it gets very complicated because they don't know how to get out of the fake dating to date the other people or something. For Elita, there's her and her issues with being pretty isolated from everything and again, either an old friend or a friend of an old friend meet her at the flower shop. I still think that could be pretty cool. And yes, Elita is not in school. I did that purely for drama purposes between her and her friends, or her and her future love interest, or both. Two close friends like the same person or one of them likes someone that the other doesn't approve of. Also the ever-cliche "popular, somewhat of a jerk guy falls for the girl that really, really doesn't care" I probably have more but those are the ones I remember right now haha
I love cute romances, but I also like drama, so I usually like to cause drama before the characters get together and then a little bit while they're together, ahaha...}
--
"Hey!" Keilana grinned and slid into the backseat, not really minding that she wasn't sitting in front. Really, it didn't even cross her mind. "You two look nice. Well." She tilted her head and raised an eyebrow at Arlo as she addressed him. "You don't really look all that different, but I guess it works for you. Ooh! Cake!" She hummed as she admired the cake. Her energy was definitely from the fact that she hadn't been around as many people as she would have liked. She always needed to talk, so now she was pretty conscious of the fact that she might have been a bit too enthusiastic just then.

((Sophia and Jack and their predicaments. XD I love this, man.))
"And that is your dad instinct kicking back in." Drake advised Jack. "Mason isn't going to physically hurt Mia and I think she's smart enough to not let him pull any moves on her. So you go out there and you flirt, Jack! You make some ladies happy because you are an attractive man and your sister is old enough to take care of herself!" Wow. Drake should definitely become a motivational speaker.
--
"What?!" Jace squeaked. "I don't want your money, and I can't flirt for anything! You've met me! I'm a mess! I mean, I understand why you're worried, but--" he stopped speaking when he noticed Adriane walking over to them and distracting Mason. "Oh! Sophia! Look! You don't even have to do anything! Give it five minutes and Mason won't even remember who Mia was!" Not from drinking too much, but because Adriane seemed to have that kind of effect on him. Thank goodness, he'd have to thank Adriane later for saving him like this. He probably would have broken down in tears if he'd gone over to try and flirt with Mia like Sophia had wanted.
--
"See, that's what you see of Jack on the outside. And maybe he does have everything together, but I guarantee there's some part of him that doesn't feel that way. And, regardless, he's having a good time, still, and relaxing." Mason laughed. "You can, it just seems like you need a little push and a little help." He would have continued speaking to her and trying to help out poor Mia, but Adriane showed up. Mason was frozen for a moment, unsure of how to respond, before he took the can from her and looked at it. "How did you remember?" he asked and set his Pepsi down, the pop now forgotten. "Uh, thanks, Adriane." He gave her an awkward smile and glanced back at Mia. Having known Adriane for as long as he had, he knew that something had happened between the two that Adriane had always just referred to as The Incident.

(Jacks being a dad)
"What if she's not?" Jack asked, giving Drake the puppy dog eyes. "Geez, I need you around to make all of my life decisions," Jack said, amazed at Drake's words. The kid knew how to speak. "Alright, who should I start with?" Jack asked, though he stopped when he saw Adriane near Mason and Mia. "No. No. No. no." he said, not even trying to hide his staring now. "Drake, you have to help me. We need to get Adriane away from Mia." Here come the dad instincts. "I cannot let my baby sister get hurt by here again."
Sophia caught the girl approaching and frowned. "Maybe you're right, Jace," she said. She pushed the door closed so she wouldn't have to see Mia and Mason and the other girl. "Does it make me a bad cousin to let her get hurt? Just like when she learned to ride a bik," Sophia said, though she wasn't much older than Mia.
"I guess," Mia had started to say when Adriane approached. She froze, nearly dropping her can of soda. "Adriane," she said, her voice cold. This was probably the first time she'd spoken to the other girl since The Incident. She found Jack in the crowd, locking eyes with him for a moment. He remembered Adriane too. Now, The Incident may not have been a big deal to many, but Mia was a sensitive girl and it had really hurt her. "Uh, Mason, um, I'm," Mia couldn't form a sentence. Not with Adriane there. She felt like a deer caught in headlights, wid eyed and wide mouthed.
