He's such a cutie and I can't wait to use him cx Part of me wants to make him run into the biggest, baddest bully in the school and have that be his first day experience))

While his friends were talking inside, Grace was lingering around in the courtyard, eyeing the students walking by in the courtyard as if any one of them might be carrying a nasty disease. His skinny arms hugged his torso, his hood up and his fingers tightly gripping the straps on his backpack as, slowly, he made his way to the front doors.
The poor boy was already terrified, the thought of being a high school freshman sending a thrill of fear through his heart. He hugged himself more tightly, wishing that the day were already over and he was heading home, where he would run straight to his family's music room and over to his guitar. Momentarily he closed his eyes, imagining the feel of the instrument in his hands, his slender fingers plucking the strings, and he relaxed, the mental image making him feel better. He just had to get through today first, and everything would be alright. Taking a deep breath, he took one last look up at the school, then stepped inside.
Almost immediately, the echoing noise of hundreds of voices assaulted his ears, and Grace winced, drawing more tightly into himself again. His steps faltered, his blue eyes wide as they darted around, searching frantically for his friends. He thought that he caught a glimpse of Clay's blond head, but right at that moment he felt a body who belonged to someone much bigger than he was slam into him, and he stumbled, falling to his knees.
"Move it, punk!" A boy's voice snarled. Holding his breath, Grace looked over his shoulder to see a huge, muscular boy towering furiously over him, golden brown eyes burning into his pale, huddled form. He tried to scramble out of the older boy's way, but he apparently wasn't fast enough, for the bully leaned down, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and hauled him to his feet roughly.
"Are you even at the right school?" The boy leered at Grace, running a hand through golden brown curls. "The elementary school's five miles down the road. Maybe if you run now, your teacher won't make you sit in the corner for being late!"
Too terrified to speak, Grace simply cowered, staring up at the bully with round, terrified eyes. Please, god, don't let him hit me!

(( Google is the worst sometimes.
YEESSS. Max would so jump to Grace's defense. Maybe she'd get a broken nose or busted lip?
I love Grace so much already. He's so precious. ))
"Ya bet I can come over," Max answered Clay with a huge grin. She had promised to help her grandfather around the yard later, as the lawn needed mowed and his back had started aching painfully a couple days ago. He wouldn't be home for a few hours after school, though, as he had some people to visit, which meant she would have some time to herself if she finished the rest of her chores later that night. Then, she patted Nyx gently on the back. "It's a plan, then. I'll run home and get Ranger, then meet ya at Clay's. I think Ranger's missed you two." The little dog loved everyone, but he always got so excited when he saw Nyx, especially. He absolutely adored the shy girl, always eager to be petted and held by her.
The school might be complicated in terms of directions, but once they figured it out, it wouldn't be so bad. They could memorize their schedules after the first couple of weeks and teachers weren't usually too harsh on new, freshman students. Sometimes they gave them a break, since they didn't know the building well. Max didn't worry about it too much.
What Max did pay attention to, however, was Rai's explanation of the weird, tattooed guy. Named Tristan, apparently, and not a good guy, either. Someone their group should avoid at all costs, if they were wise and didn't want to end up bloodied and bruised. Of course, no fear hit Max like it did Nyx. Not for a second did she feel like Tristan would be a problem for her. He was big and muscular, older than them all, and Max was small, younger and thin. In a fight, she wouldn't stand a chance. "Eh, he don't look like much," Max snorted and shrugged. "Except like a jerk."
As for getting their schedules and such, Max definitely needed to do that. Before school had started, she hadn't had time to get it beforehand. "Heh, yeah. We better do that. I have no clue what classes I'm supposed to be in." Not yet had she noticed Grace, just down the hall, in the presence of a boy with not so great intentions. If she had known what that bully had planned, no way would she let anything happened. While small, she was vicious when angry, even if she didn't pose much of a threat at all.
-------
Talkative? Asher snorted at the teasing comment, which was actually a good sign of him not being in a horrible mood. He certainly wasn't talkative and Brooke knew that better than most people. Still, he listened quietly to the conversation. Enjoyed the sound of his music, the presence of his friends. Although he disliked speaking and huge crowds, it didn't mean he hated people. Actually, he rather liked hanging out with their little group. He just didn't want to admit it (it was embarrassing, at least to him).
At the mention of being trampled, Asher rolled his eyes a little. The tall boy had no fears of getting pushed around or stepped on, unlike everyone else. Of course, not everyone could be as outrageously tall as he was at their age. He came from a huge family full of nothing but tall men and women. Very few members of his family were shorter than five foot eight. He gave Brooke a look like "you've got to be kidding me". More teasing than insulting, though someone who didn't know him well might have taken it the wrong way.
Cooties? That last statement, however, actually managed to get a verbal response out of the quiet boy. "I told all of you cooties were fake," he said in a know-it-all, maybe slightly rude tone. Unintentionally rude, but still not nice. He hadn't believed in cooties, but no one had believed him when he said they were fake.

((Oh my gosh, the poor Grace. ;-; I wanna throw Nyx in to save him but she's so scared that she'd probably be like "HEY" and the bully would turn to her and then she would get scared and run away. XD >.> Considering making Kai do something, since that would start the bridge between friend groups and he's totally that "knight in shining armor" type of dude who would fight someone to protect someone else.
=3 I'll reply once Ariat gets back on. I don't want to do too much without her. xP And I think she'll be on in like half an hour or an hour?))

((I would also like to say... I love Max. XD I love everyone, actually. And I think the friend groups turned out really well. Like, Group 2 with Max, Clay, Nyx, and Grace is perfect. =3 They're all kind of quiet and awkward... and then there's Max, but I still think she fits nicely. XD And Group 1 just seems like they'll all be the cool kids that get into trouble. >.>
Anyway, but Max. XD Is she going to try and fight Tristan or something? Is he going to come up later? o.o I'm legitimately interested.))

(( That's fine! No rush. C:
Same! I really love everyone's characters. Nyx and Clay are are awesome, and I love Brooke's and Kai's personalities. Grace seems like a cutie.
And yeah. I wanted Max to kind of be the wild, fearless one. Thought it would lead to plenty of drama. xD
Tristan is important! Not just yet, but I thought he could play a pretty important role. I wanted to discuss it first though. I was thinking he harasses one specific member from each group? And it could bring the two groups a bit closer together, trying to find a solution? Also, I figured he and Asher will get into some serious trouble. ))

((..... Let's do it. XD I think I'll just make a quick post of Kai getting away from the group and being like "HEY. GET BACK FROM THAT POPSICLE BOY." And then Ariat can just casually respond to everything when she gets back, and then we can make up some kind of roleplay order. XD ... Which we had but I'm breaking now...))

((Yes, the dynamics and I thought it might be awkward trying to roleplay everyone together like they've known each other for years, but it's actually going really well. XD
Ooh, Tristan sounds perfect for that. >=3 When you say trouble do you mean fighting or... illegal trouble? Because Nyx would probably be down for that. XD I want her to be shy but also have this thing for getting into trouble. Like an adrenaline junkie kind of.
>.> I also have four main characters that I usually use in other roleplays, and I'm considering bringing them in here, although I don't necessarily know what kind of drama they could cause right off the bat? XD Except that Drake would be friendly and lovely and take all of the freshman under his wing. And Mason would probably just bully them. XD Or flirt with them because he's a jerk like that.))

(( Illegal stuff at first, then fights later on when they start to realize how much of a horrible person Tristan really is.
And they sound awesome. I can see Max crossing her arms and glaring at Mason if he tried to flirt with her. She'd be so unimpressed. I picture her as the one girl that rarely flirts and never shows any signs of crushing on anyone. xD
Lol, if anyone ever flirts with Asher, he'll be so awkward. Like, "what am I supposed to do" and "can I just walk away now". ))

(So I sorta kinda skimmed stuff while I'm doing my shopping and also my original idea for my characters is that brooke's a bit of a wild card trouble maker type that usually gets her friends in trouble because she wants to have fun
And Clay is a poor adorable awkward boy that gets bullied and him and Rai have a super cute adorable friendship
And I was also linda thinking is Tristan gonna become a side character? Cause like I had the idea that he gives Raiden all kinds of trouble and then when he learns that Clay is his brother he starts to bully Clay and that causes trouble for Raiden cause he gets in a fight to defend his brother
And I have so much already planned out)

Kai had been laughing along with his friends, and was even surprised when Asher actually spoke up. Of course, he'd heard the other dude talk before, but that didn't mean it didn't still surprise Kai every time that Asher would say something. The guy hardly ever spoke, so of course it would come as a surprise. He laughed at his comment about cooties. By time Kai had moved here, he had stopped believing in cooties, but he did remember them from his previous schools. When he was the new kid in elementary, people had refused to talk to him in fear that he had brought the deadly cootie virus to their school. Childhood had sucked.
Yeah, he was definitely ready for high school and later, adulthood.
At about that time, Kai heard some random upperclassmen jerk start insulting a kid. His sense of righteousness and his own memories of being bullied caused Kai's smile to drop and he looked away from Brooke and Asher to see the source of the rude yelling.
The bully was holding a kid who Kai clearly recognized, despite only being at this school for a year. He had thought that Grace Meyers was in fifth grade or something when he first started school and was surprised when people told him he was their age. Kai didn't think he'd ever talked to the kid, but that didn't mean he wasn't annoyed by this uncalled for act of bullying.
His mother had made him promise that he wouldn't get into trouble, that he wouldn't get into fights for at least a couple weeks, and yet... it looked like this first day of school was going in the exact same direction as every first day of school that Kai ever had.
He pulled away from his friends and started down the hallway, hands clenched into fists and an angry look on his face. Kai knew he would probably get beaten into a pulp, but it was worth it if he could at least try and help out this Grace kid who looked like he might easily shatter into a million pieces.
"Hey, put the kid down and pick on someone your own size!" Kai snapped, drawing more attention to what was happening than there previously had been. He then did something that he knew he would regret forever, but it was the heat of the moment and Kai couldn't think clearly.
So, he quite simply punched the other guy in the face once he was close enough.

((*strokes Kai* I love my boo. ;-; Nyx and Kai were both created in this story, where they go around causing trouble and wreaking havoc, so they get sent off to this camp to do, like, community labor. XD So... they're both very into trouble making. Nyx through breaking into places and stealing things, and Kai through just get into as many fights as he possibly can. ._. They may have not been the best choice for this rp. Not together.
Ah, yes, Ariat. =3 I can see so much drama being caused by Tristan. He could just bully Clay in Group 2!
Oh my gosh, Asher flirting. XD I can see someone asking him to a dance and he just inwardly panics but his expression is unchanged or something. And yes, Max doesn't seem like someone that would really be into dating. XD))

(( Sounds like a good plan to me, Ari! I love hearing new ideas. We can basically do whatever to cause as much drama and interest as possible.
Oh, poor Kai, baby. I feel so bad for him. <3
Yep, Blaze, that's exactly how Asher would react. On the inside, he'd be panicking and wondering what he should say or if he should answer at all, but on the outside he would just look blank and be like "what".
Yeah, Max isn't into dating too much at this age. Maybe a bit more when she's a little older, but she would have to find someone who could match her craziness. xD ))
