[indent][color=#eedca5]"I wouldn't say I am the most well-known person. I transferred to BHHS on a scholarship the summer of my junior year. By the time I got there the major friend groups had already been formed, it was just a mess. I only really made a few friends that year so to most people I'm like a background character, although, last year I did join a bunch of clubs so I'm known in that aspect. To be fair to myself I wasn't in the best frame of mind, so many things happened; no wonder I was so closed off and jaded."

[indent][color=#eedca5]"Well, I've been in LA for what? like a year now, still trying to adapt to that. It's quite a big change to go from running the streets and sleeping in a crack house every night to going to one of the wealthiest schools in the country... Probably one of the few kids C.P.S. actually helped. I... I've never been able to overcome my best friend's death. The thought of why did he have to die has never left my mind. Why did... I survive and he die? Rocky was.. he was my rock; he saw something in me that most didn't see at the time. I- I'm going off-topic, my primary goals for the year are just to graduate and get into UCLA; hey, maybe I'll even shoot for valedictorian." [/color][/indent][/indent]

[indent][color=#be9b7b]Lucian is often fitted in a mid to late 90s style of clothing. The loose-fitting jeans with patches of color sewn in throughout, and an ornately designed vintage sweater encompass his almost daily outfit. On the off days the LA heat gets to him he possesses a large supply of slightly oversized shirts at his disposal; ranging from shirts of old bands to your simple graphic tee. These shirts paired with a set of overalls or a pair of shorts cover Lucian's overall outfit selection. [/color][/indent]

[indent][color=#eedca5]"Not much has changed from New York to here, just another subway system I had to memorize. Unfortunately, the LA metro is limited compared to the New York one. I've always walked or ridden the subway to get where I had to go, It was really the only option I had, I guess I just never dropped the habit. My daily carry is usually light: of course my backpack with school stuff, my phone, wallet, keys, and that's really it now that I think about it."[/color][/indent]

I adore the spot I am in now thankfully, love the people I work with; truly a great group."[/color][/indent][/indent]

Oh yeah, there is also this little record store called 'Revolution Record' that is nestled on the corner of this side street that just has everything! Shame it doesn't get much attention, finding that one obscure vinyl is also just an explosion of euphoria. Dogs too! Lord knows I love dogs, I used to be "friends" with this back alley mut back home in Harlem. He would always get so happy when I tossed him a piece of lunch meat I couldn't help but smile."

[indent][color=FFFDD0] 
Alvaro is a prominent presence in almost every social circle around B.H.H.S., known by most, and universally well-liked it is rare to not have heard his name once given any amount of time within the school. Although surrounded by children of families worth billions, his last name stands out from the rest; one of the last remaining vestiges of the old world order of kings and commoners, nobility and serfs, leaves him recognizable with but a simple Google search of the name. As the grandson of the former King of Spain, and son of a corporate magnate, Alvaro had his own page on Wikipedia before most could even walk.

Behind the well-manicured, and media-shaped view of Alvaro, he is a near replica of his father; a vindictive, manipulative, and quite frankly a rampant opportunist of a young man. He views most as below himself, caring not for the actual person but for the useability of their assets: connections, wealth, and popularity. Every person can be used, but the extent of how long determines his attitude towards them, ever notice how he swaps friend groups each year? He is ruthless, Alvaro only cares for himself and those closest to him, everyone else is like a dollar in his bank account, one among millions, and very easily replaceable.

A young man striving for the praise of a father who sees him as but a tool to carry on his legacy, and rampantly departing from his mother's love to embrace the ideals of his father, trapped in a juxtaposition between his mother's love and father's praise.

In following the trend of most old money, Alvaro's everyday outfits encompass an air of simplicity; plain colored clothes crafted from the finest materials and constructed in his home of Barcelona adorn the majority of his wardrobe. Jackets, blazers, and button-ups from brands unknown to most are laden throughout his closet as well, a combination of professional and casual defines his style. One of his jackets atop a light-colored shirt is the precedent for his outfit structure.
