(( Awesome! I'll get started on my forms now. ))
Asher Nowakowski | 14 (Freshman) | Male | Whispering Moons When people say that kids don't look the same freshman year of high school as they did in middle school, they're not entirely wrong. Back in the eighth grade, Asher had been average height, around 5'5", but over the summer, he had grown incredibly tall. Now, the boy stands at a whopping 5'9", four inches taller and still growing steadily. He isn't packed with muscle just yet, but he has an athletic build, strong arms and legs, far from a twig. His face is more square than round, with a sharp nose and eyes, a brown so dark they almost appear black. The kid who might be handsome one day. His hair is also a dark brown, short and often gelled up neatly. He had a mean face for a kid, rarely smiles and can give people the worst looks. Most of his clothing consists of plain t-shirts, black jeans, boots and a nice leather jacket. Asher isn't a nice kid. He's quiet and doesn't talk much, mostly, but he's also incredibly rude a majority of the time. While he doesn't get into too much trouble, he isn't afraid to break the rules to get what he wants and doesn't care about the consequences. That being said, he isn't heartless, and doesn't like to make people cry. Sure, he doesn't mind making other kids angry, but he always feels guilty when he makes some shy kid cry by accident (it's happened many times). Truthfully, despite being athletic and very active, Asher is quite lazy. He slacks on his school work and only does what he absolutely has to in order to get by. Originally from Russia, his large family moved to the U.S. when he was only three, then moved from New York to here. He speaks both English and Russian, but has no accent at all. While he isn't super close with his family, he does have two younger half-brothers, and he gets along with them rather well. The only sport Asher plays is baseball and he's quite good at it. He would rather deny it, but he is good friends with Max. They argue often, but they get along rather well.
Maxen "Max" Abbracciavento | 14 (Freshman) | Female | Whispering Moons Max is one of the least feminine girls around the high school, both in her physical appearance and personality. She's a tiny little thing, barely four eleven and weighing around a hundred and eighteen pounds, and is stick thin. No muscle, no fat, and also no chest; she's entirely flat-chested, not that she minds (most of the time). Max enjoys wearing baggy t-shirts and jeans or cargo shorts, old sneakers or her favorite boots. This girl has wildly curly blonde hair that is cut very short, just below her ears, and is almost nevee brushed. Her eyes are big and round, with long eyelashes, and are a bright, cheery blue color, set in a slender face. Due to spending so much time in the sun, her skin is well tanned and dotted with little freckles, as well as scars from her many adventures as a kid. The most noticeable scar is the one just above her upper lip to the right, from where she had fallen as a child and cut it. Wild is the only way to describe Max's personality. She isn't hyper or super full of energy, but she's always up to something and it's usually nothing but trouble. Her actions are reckless and dangerous, with little concern for her own safety, and she's the first to volunteer for any and all "dangerous" or "scary" plans. Having so much bravery and courage when it comes to nearly everything, she appears almost fearless. However, while it has its bright sides, it also has some major negative effects. Her recklessness and disregard for safety often winds up with her injured or in serious trouble. In middle school, Max spent quite a bit of time in the principal's office, in trouble at least three times a week. Max moved into the city and U.S. from Italy roughly five years ago, at the age of nine. She lives with her elderly grandfather, who is her sole caretaker and guardian. The two have an incredibly close relationship and spend a lot of time chatting or playing board games. She's bilingual and speaks both fluent English and Italian, though mostly English now a days, but only has a slight accent. Max really only ever speaks Italian with her grandfather. She's been good friends with Asher since they were both nine and she'd first moved.

I was going to go with my favorites, Drake and Ash, but someone *cough* Ariat *cough* convinced me to use different characters, so I chose Nyx and Kai. XD They're for a book I'm writing, hence the funky names. XD I wanted unique Greek names, and now here they are.))

Kai's mother had insisted that he arrive at school early... and that he try to dress at least somewhat nice for his first day of high school. This meant his dark hair was neatly brushed and he wore nice jeans and a button-up, long-sleeved shirt. His mother had even saved up enough money so that he could get a brand new pair sneakers to celebrate heading into high school. Although he had felt bad about getting something new, she had insisted.
"Alright, mom, you can go now." He said with a smile to his mother as he got out of the car and slung his backpack over one shoulder. Kai couldn't wait for her to leave so he could push up the sleeves of the fancy shirt... and because he was worried about upperclassmen seeing him speaking to his mother. He assumed they would find it funny and embarrassing, anyway. "I'll walk home, so don't worry about bringing me."
"Okay. Have a good day, Kairos. I love you." She smiled at him and drove away without expecting a reply -- probably because she was remembering back to when she had been young and how embarrassing that would have been.
Kai waited until his mother's car was out of sight, and then his smile fell away and he pushed up the sleeves of his fancy shirt. He was sweating horrendously, but he had forgotten to wear anything else underneath, so he found himself stuck in the hot shirt. Who knew the first day of school, in September, would be so hot?
He headed towards the school, excited but nervous for his first day of high school. Kai wondered if any of his friends had already gotten to school. He hoped they were so that he wouldn't have to go to the office to get his schedule alone, or ask for help. Maybe someone's older sibling could even help them out with directions.
--
Nyx was on the bus on her way to school, quietly curled up in a seat in the middle by herself. On her lap was her sketchpad, and she had it opened to a blank page where she doodled nonsense shapes. Circles. Squares. Triangles. She shaded each one in and tried to find some comfort in what she was doing, but Nyx just felt sick to her stomach at the thought of high school starting. The first step had been getting on this bus that only had high schoolers. They were loud and the smell of cologne was vomit-inducing.
Her overly attentive parents had complained when Nyx first came out in a nice white tanktop with a loose gray cardigan pulled over, and then skinny with holes in the knees and paint stains along the thighs. They had sent her back to her room and demanded that she find some pants, which luckily she did. Nyx had managed to find one pair of black skinny jeans that were not ripped, nor stained.
She sighed and looked out the window, the pencil in her hand hovering over the pad of paper in her lap. It was the same bus route, but it felt so different knowing that she was no longer the oldest kid on the bus but, instead, was the youngest.

((Going for an accounting degree and becoming an accountant is starting to sound like a horrible idea to me. XD I'm so getting my Bachelor's in Business Management and I'll just go manage things instead. >.> Because seriously, this accounting thing just steadily gets more and more "why. why would you do that."))

First day of freshman year of high school. Most students dreaded it, feared it, and for good reason. It meant more work and bigger, older kids who could be unpleasantly scary. At least, that's how most people felt when it came to highschool, which was understandable. It was a new place filled with new people and intimidated many freshman students.
Not Asher. He was tall for his age, and athletic, and therefore received very little negative attention on his way to school. His house was only a few streets down from the high school, so he figured he would simply walk, headphones covered his ears and blared loud music. He took the out, however, when Max met him halfway on her bike. She had dressed well for the hot September day, in shorts and a tank top, while Asher wore his usual jeans and t-shirt. Neither of them spoke much before they reached the school, but once there, Mac found a place to chain up her back and quickly tried to catch up with Asher.
"Are ya excited, Ashie?" Max asked teasingly, referring to the boy's deep frown and scowl. He looked completely unfriendly and she laughed at him. "I'll take that as a no, then." Eager to start the year off in a good mood, she glanced around for any of her friends, then grinned as she spotted the bus beginning to pull into the driveway. As it parked and came to a stop, the doors swinging open, Max rushed over to greet Nyx. "Bye, Ashie! I'll see ya after school."
Asher was left beside Kai, stood awkwardly near the other boy and glared at his own feet. He hadn't spoken to Kai much since they'd met, never really felt the desire to. In his opinion, the boy was rather average, and nothing stood out to Asher. An okay guy, maybe, but not interesting to Asher enough for him to even bother speaking to.

I'm fine with splitting them up however you want to. Boys and girls, by personality, doesn't matter to me. C: ))

((Well I already know what groups I want your characters in, soo...
Alright! =3 I mean, there could be some cross friending, but two main groups for the beginning. XD Two characters could start "dating" or Character A crushes on Character B and is Character A is like "FRIENDS, LET'S GO SIT WITH THEM SO I CAN FLIRT" and that could be how both groups form together as one giant mass of freshman evil? XD
I'd say make them acquaintances, or... well, I guess friends would be cool? XD))

Alright, so we will be doing two groups, not decided by gender but by personality, and I guess who you want to throw where? You may have one character in each group. =3 Please tell me which group you want your characters in, and I will update it all on the front page! ^.^
Group 1 Kai Brooke Asher
Group 2 Nyx Clay Max

((Sure, that'll work for me. Max and Kai could be, like, not quite friends but they kinda know each other? Like maybe they had a class or two together the previous year.
Tbh, I'm not sure who should go where. Maybe Asher in Group 1 and Max in Group 2?))

Yes. XD And poor Kai was just scared and lonely and agreed.
I cannot draw for the life of me, but I sketched out horrible concept art to get Nyx and Kai's hair and clothing style on paper and Nyx is so cute.))
