[IC] Friends from Highschool.

[paigesweetheart]

(So I kinda switch it up. All our characters put in money for a private island for all of them to hang out at!)



Camilla arrived at their private island that herself and her highschool friends have rented for their little reunion! It was such an amazing feeling that she is gonna see her friends again. She has changed alot since highschool, Camilla was the quiet one of the group, shy too. And she always had a crush on a guy named, August but was always too shy to tell him! Besides, she knows that he has a girlfriend due to all of them being in touch with one another around social media and what not. Camilla is a famous rapper, people call her Queen Of Rap. She has done tours, music videos and won grammys and what not. As she arrived there, her bags were already in her room at the fabulous house. "This is so beautiful! They did an amazing job fixing this place." Camilla said walking around, her outfit was simple, ofcourse she toom off her jacket and her heels feeling the sand on her feet, her long black hair swaying side to side as she walked. "Aah! So happy to see the others!"

Mycha sighed as she saw the island. She wished she had been able to chip in more for the place, but between bills and the ticket for the plane trip, she could just barely make it as is. She had never done well with flying, and the budget aircraft she had chosen really brought out the need for some dramamine, which she felt the affects of as well. They finally touched down and she was able to stand on solid ground once more, a little weak at the knees. Her tanned legs liked the feeling of the sun and she was glad that she had chosen to wear shorts and gladiator saddles and her light and flowing black tank with a skull on it. She puller her hair over to one side and shouldered her duffle bag. She really hoped or the price of everything that there was a place for her to workout. She might need it to be able to survive things. But surely everyone had changed and grown up? She certainly had. Losing almost 140 pounds was definitely a big change! And she had become more confident. She tried to remember people from highschool, most of the ones who would be attending were seniors by the time she had come along, but she could remember several of them. She had idolized many of the girls, they were so pretty and skinny... but many of them gave her a hard time. And as for the guys, well, they never paid much attention to her; she wasn't really their type.
Shaking her head she trudged up to the home and found her room.

Lucina set foot on the island. Taking in all of it's glorious sights. It's beautiful view. And she though about high school. Lucina had been the star of the drama club. Always getting lead role. Always doing great. But high school had been when Lucina had been going through the worst of her life. Her parents mistreated her. Her siblings bullied her. In her family she was nothing. So Lucina had always done her best acting. And she still did now. Even though her family no longer treated her like pond scum.

Abraham had arrived a little bit before everyone did and the first thing he did as soon as he arrived at the house was find a seat and started sketching. The island was beautiful and the house was gorgeous but he had been struck with inspiration on the flight and wasn't going to stop until everything was down. He smiled to himself as he started a rough sketch of the main character of his newest project and jotted some notes on the side. He couldn't believe he had made it this far, back when he was a kid he didn't have much of anything but a stupid dream, except for his friends of course. Shortly after high school he sold basically everything he owned just so he could self-publish and market his first book himself so he wouldn't have to owe some publishing company his soul. It was a huge gamble but it clearly paid off in the end, 4 very successful books already published and adored, a book and a graphic novel in the works, and most excitedly of all the very book that had started it all "A Girl named Ruin" was in talks for a movie. With his success the least he could do was help pay for the island so he could enjoy some time with his old friends. Now all he had to do was get out of work mode which was a lot easier said than done.

The flight and subsequent boat ride was a killer but it was all worth it to see their friends again. The siblings had almost no contact wit their old pals since high school, with starting up the business after the terrible two were expelled for some, eh... trouble. However that was the past and when they started the "A Touch of Soul" they couldn't have dreamed that it would be as successful as it was. With the money they had they payed off a chunk of the Island when the opportunity presented itself. The pair could hardly contain their excitement as they stepped off the boat and walked up the dock.

Dan

Stepping of the boat, Dan swore a little bit as he almost dropped one of his suitcases into the watery depths. Thankfully it was only his clothes, if he had dropped the suitcase with all his ink stuff in it... well it wouldn't be a very good day. Calmly collecting himself, Dan just blamed it on jet lag and continued on his way with Jane not far behind. After reaching the end of the dock, Dan went one direction and Jane went another with halfhearted waves as they went. Giving whistles and a couple "Daaamns" Dan really soaked in the scenery of the new digs. Soon, Dan came upon someone he hadn't seen in awhile but had seen alot of on TV.

"Why isn't it the Queen of Rap herself! How you been?" Dan yelled as he saw her about a dozen or so feet away. Dan gave himself a little moment to look her over, she definitely looked better in person... and smaller.

[Whirlwind]

Raina wore a simple but nice dress and hat. She had gone with one of her coworkers to pick out the outfit, and they had said the colors complimented her reddish hair completely. She was still nervous though, grey eyes flitting about on the boat until they landed. What would everyone be like? Did they balloon up? Get skinny? Become stay at home moms? Get famous? She really had no idea. She didn’t even own a tv and spent most of her time too busy to pay attention to celebrity gossip or anything like that for several years now.

She pulled her wheeled luggage around, smiling and loving the look of where they were staying, when she thought she saw Abraham sitting by himself and appeared to be writing things down. She didn’t want to interrupt, but well, the point of a reunion was to get reintroduced, right? So he wouldn’t mind if she came up and said hi, surely.

Biting her lip she walked up closer. “Abraham? Abraham Hawke?” she questioned. Oh goodness that would be dumb if he wasn’t even who she thought…

[Whirlwind]

August was able to take his private airplane, which he flew himself, and partially built himself, all the way to the island. He was definitely interested to see his old high school friends. After all, there was Elizabeth, who was always different. And Alexander, who was always trying a little too hard but seemed like a good guy anyway. Lucina who he was lucky enough to never get on her bad side. Macey who was always quiet, but he enjoyed quiet now and again. Abraham who was one he used to talk to for intellectual discussions depending on the subject. Daniel, who August generally stayed away from in order to avoid a record or juvi stay. Oh and his sister Jane who was always more of a partier than August ever was. Mycha, that chubby girl who was nice enough, and August never minded. Raina, who seemed to flirt with everyone except him. Michelle, who never did anything wrong and was intelligent to boot. But then there was Camilla too. She was always more his type, being sweet and fun but serious when needed. Not that he ever thought of her, except maybe daily.

He got out of the plane and brushed himself off, looking pretty good in an untucked, white button up shirt and khaki cargo shorts. He kept his sunglasses on as he walked inside the house, having his stuff taken up to his room for him. He stood in the foyer, nodding and thinking this house would do just fine to get reacquainted.

[FlatlandGirl]

Mycha took a deep breath and left her room. It would all be OK. She had glanced at some of the people arriving and they all looked amazing. Some of the guys had definitely become more... Good looking since she had seen them last. Especially the one she assumed was August. Being parched, mycha headed to the kitchen to grab a drink, waving kindly to Jane as she passed. "Hiya." She said giving a small smile.

[Drakeonis]

Abraham barely looked up from his notebook, he didn't even hear his name called. He was too caught up in his work to notice. Still scratching notes into the paper, It was only when he looked up from the book to try and recapture his train of thought did he see Raina standing there looking at him. He chastised himself for getting so caught up again. "Oh sorry I didn't see you there." Closing the notebook he looked back at her trying to place her face. "That you Raina?"

[paigesweetheart]

Camilla noticed some of the others arriving. First she saw Mycha and Lucina arriving but they went on a seperate way from her, so it seemed that they might have not seen her. Mycha was always like the quiet one but she looked really good now, and Lucina! Camilla turned her head hearing someone talking to her. "Huh? Oh! Ah! Hey Dan!! Haha." She smiled going over to him and hugging him all friendly, and ofcourse she did miss him! "Woah. So what are you exactly now? Damn. You sure have too much tattoos. Haha. We should go inside the house, everyone are probably inside there."

[Savi]

Michelle finally arrived at the island, strutting out of the plane. "Thanks! Hope you all crash and die!" she said in a cheerful way to the flight attendants and turned away from them. Her large sunglasses hid her identity somewhat well, but the tattoos and hair are completely different from highschool Michelle so she'll sure make a surprise entrance. She walked up the group in her black skinny jeans, red halter top and black combat boots. "Hey everyone!" she said mysteriously.

[PhotoHammy]

Abby sighs she had just come off of the public plane. She chose public as she loved talking to her fans. she waved the plane off and starts walking towards her room. She enters I. She loved going to different places as she didn't feel like she was being spoilt sometimes. She looked around and sets down her stuff she heads out and sees the others on the beach she smiles. She hadn't see them all in ages and didn't know much about them all. She heads out of her room and sees Abraham. She blushes looking away before she walks casually over to him. "Hey Abraham.!" she wave at him. "I see you are writing. I have read your books. I love them! Especially 'A Girl named Ruin'" She smiles at him.

[Whirlwind]

Raina hesitated, wondering if Abraham heard her, when he looked up and seemed surprised. Ah, so he hadn’t heard her. Oh well, nothing major. She smiled and nodded, blushing lightly as she knew she probably looked a lot older and well, less… uncovered than she did in high school, where short shorts and halters were her favorite. ”Yes, how are you?” she asked genuinely, when another girl for the reunion, Abby, walked up and seemingly brushed past Raina to fangirl a little over Abraham. Raina just kept quiet for the moment, feeling a little out of place now. After all, if Abby had wanted to say hi to her, she was sure she would have. So she pretended to suddenly be fascinated by the room they were in, looking around until she could exit the conversation she’d previously started with Abraham without seeming rude.

[PhotoHammy]

Abby suddenly realised that Raina was there. "Oh my! I am soooo Sorry. Raina. isn't it I am so sorry didn't realise you were there!" She apologizes over and over. She look away. "How are you both?" She says looking at hem both. She still felt so bad over no seeing Raina.

[MysticFox]

It had been many years since she had seen her classmates, and Macey was more then excited to meet up with everyone once again. She stepped off the private jet her modeling coach had arranged for her to take, her arms burdened with two large white suitcases. Slowly she made her way up the beach, enjoying the warm and slightly ticklish sand beneath her feet that made her smile. She had done many beach photo shoots, but none with a care free spirit in the air like this place. She looked around, her long dark hair resting neatly over her chest as she spotted a small group a people catching up on time lost. Macey smiled, biting her lip while debating on joining their conversation. She wasn't a real conversationalist back in high school due to her shyness, nothing really changed in that department for her. The only thing that had really changed was her appearance. She had grown into the body of a woman, curves and all. She wasn't the prettiest in highschool, which she thanked god for puberty but she was still shy as ever. Macey stood by the water, her back to the group of people while the waves crashed against her feet, the water up to her ankles. She let out a happy sigh, glad to see her old friends once again.

[FlatlandGirl]

Mycha finished off her drink and went to see the beach, she saw a small group gathering, and one girl still on the beach. "Guess I better go be social at some point. " She said as she left the kitchen and walked to the beach "Hey, do you want some help with your bags?" She asked Macey. Slipping her hands in her pockets as she waited for a response, rocking back and forth on her heels.

[Drakeonis]

Abraham smiled at Raina. "I've been good. You?" He questioned curiously. While he knew what everyone else had been doing since he last saw them, Raina had practically fallen off the radar.after high school. Before he could push forward Abby had taken him by surprise and appeared from nowhere saying how much she loved his work. He tried to fight it but it made him feel happy when someone said that especially about "A Girl Named Ruin" the book was his baby. "Thanks Abby. I loved your performance in the Olympics, two gold medals is awesome. I was cheering like a fool when they announced it." Just like with Camilla and Lucina, he couldn't turn on the TV without seeing her on it especially during Olympics season. "Don't hold back ladies tell me how life is!" He said with an enthusiasm that was very unlike him, but he had missed his friends and wanted to know how they'd been.

[Whirlwind]

August turned around as a girl with plenty of tats walked in and said "Hey everyone!" He moved his sunglasses up to his head and looked her over before realizing it was Michelle of all girls. Well, he'd heard she was a rock singer now, not that he listened to her music. He was much more into soul & r&b, but wow. She definitely looked different. "Hey Michelle," he smiled with a small wave, a quiet confidence about him instead of the over abundance of it he'd had in high school. "How is our Miss Most Likely to Succeed eh?" he asked, considering he identified with her excellence in school more than most.

[Whirlwind]

Raina gave a smile when Abby acknowledged her, but Raina still felt like she was intruding on Abby and Abraham. After all, she hadn't read Abraham's book so surely these two would have more to talk about. "Oh, it's okay," she said sincerely, tucking some hair behind her ear. Her face became surprised and impressed when Abraham mentioned Abby's gold medals, making Raina feel totally out of the loop. She blushed softly, thinking about how grand their lives must be. A published author and an Olympian. She cleared her throat a little since they had both asked how she had been or up to, and she started to open her mouth to reply, when she realized everything she could say sounded very... plain. Very boring. "I've been great, really," she said, and she meant it. She wouldn't trade her life helping animals and people find animals to love them for anything. "But um, I'm going to go drop my bags off at my room and catch up with you guys later," she said, certainly shyer seeming than she was in high school. She gave them a white smile and wave before rolling her bags away and heading quietly towards her room.

[Savi]

Michelle smirked and took off her sunglasses. "Partying and and rocking any chance I get! I barely have any time to do anything anymore, but seeing as I left you all with my good-two shoes past I might as well show you how much I've changed. How's Mr. August doing? I can see someone gets better with age." She winked at him.
