[b][color=CC5200]Personality:[/color][/b] Kai is the friendliest, sweetest and most down to earth guy you could ever meet. He put everyone before himself and is a total softie. He never loses his temper and isn’t the kind of guy to hold grudges. He’s a very defensive person even though he doesn’t like to fight. If someone tries to judge him or his friends, he’ll quickly make them regret it with a single glare. He does have quite an intimidating aura, even if people know he is harmless.

He’s never one to lie and will be completely upfront and honest with everyone. He doesn’t see the point in lying about useless shit when you always get caught out and have to then explain yourself later. He’s got a very addictive personality and has to be careful with what he does and what he takes into his system. The one thing he has never been able to shake is weed. It is just part of who he is and he doesn’t know how to get off of it. He got off of it once but feel back into it just a few years later.

[b][color=CC5200]Thoughts On The Murder:[/color][/b] Kai was pretty shook up over Simone’s death. She had been his dealer and he wondered what could or would have happened if he’d been there when someone had attacked and killed her. He couldn’t get the look on her lifeless face out of his mind and it still haunted his dreams to this day. He knew that Simone was a little rough around the edges and didn’t like to get close to anyone, but he’d never saw her as such a bad person that she deserved to be murdered. He wishes he could have done something to help Simone, maybe he should have tried to be her friend but too little, too late. He’d just have to live with the shoulda, coulda, wouldas.

[b][color=CC5200]History During H.S.:[/color][/b] Kai was really friendly, really laidback and didn’t have a bad word to say about anyone at all. He was a pot head and hung around with the other delinquents that were too lazy to actually get up to any kinds of delinquency beyond getting their high. He was such a giant bear of a guy but everyone knew that he wouldn’t hurt a fly. He was as chill as chill could be.

He didn’t take part in any extra-curricular things and had many friends in all of the groups and cliques. He didn’t judge and loved everyone, even their bad parts. He was just the stereotypical pothead skater that was so laidback that he was horizontal most of the time. The fact he even graduated was a feat in and of itself.

He was held back a few times and was pretty much set to flunk out of school entirely. He just didn’t care and had no real desire to go to college and figured that he didn’t need his diploma to do manual labour or surf so why bother? That was until he met an amazing girl in, what would come to be, his graduating year of high school. He was with her for the year and she helped him to clean his act up and get his shit together. She is the reason that he even graduated.

They broke up when she went off to college because Kai didn’t want to hold her back and wanted her to find her place in the world while he found his. If they came back together when time moved on, then they knew they were meant to be. If not? He had the memories of them together and that would be better than nothing.

[b][color=CC5200]History Since Graduation:[/color][/b] After saying goodbye to his ex, Kai found a mechanic apprenticeship and worked hard while living at home with his mother. He had a part time bartending job in the evenings when he was done with his apprenticeship. After he became fully qualified, his mother fell very sick. She was diagnosed as having Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. She died two years after her diagnosis as she refused any medication. 

The death of his mother hit him hard and he slipped back into his use of weed as a means of coping. He fell into a depression and also began drinking too much. His friends managed to help pull him out of the drinking and he’s been sober since 2010.

Kai was left everything that his mother owned but he couldn’t bear living in the house without her. He sold everything that he didn’t want and need, gathering as much cash as he could so that he could move back to Hawaii. He was estranged from his father who lived there and figured that he’d regret not trying to have a relationship with him. He moved back to his homeland only to find that his father had died six months earlier.

Not wanting to quit on his move, Kai lived in Honolulu for five years before deciding that he wanted to return to the mainland once again. He found a job in Chicago, Illinois and has been living there ever since working as a mechanic and taking part in the odd street race when time allows. It’s a good way to get some fast money and he loves driving, so why not?

[i]"Val was always cool. She sometimes got too wrapped up in competing so I took it upon myself to chill her out and we’d hang when I wasn’t busy with Ada, Marc or studying. She was a really chill chick and we got along great."[/i]

We kept in touch even though she became super busy being a pro-athlete! How cool is that?! Wasn’t really surprising given how driven she was in school. Kai still helps to keep her balanced in her life, doing what he can from a distance. They email, call and Skype from time to time and when Val passes through Chicago they meet up to hang out.[/center]

[center][color=orange]✿[/color] [color=00a86b][b]Hye-Eun Song[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color]
[i]"She was adorable and such a little sister figure in my life. I'd worry about her from time to time but I knew she could handle herself. We got along well."[/i]

We lost touch but I heard she was doing well. It'll be good to catch up and reconnect at the reunion.[/center]
[hr]
[center][color=yellow]☯[/color] [color=DAF05B][b]Jasmin Morgan[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color]
[i]"I felt really bad for her through high school but I knew that there was nothing that I could do to help except for acknowledge her existence. She looked at me kind of funny when she thought I wasn’t looking. It was pretty obvious that she had a crush on me. Didn’t want to give her the wrong idea by being too friendly with her either so I kept my distance. I was glad that Ada kept her company though."[/i]

We didn’t keep in touch though I did find her on Facebook a while back and sent her a friend request. We haven’t spoken much at all, but she at least accepted my friend request.[/center]
[hr]
[center][color=orange]✿[/color] [color=cyan][b]Riley Ridgeway[/b][/color] [color=orange]✿[/color]
[i]"We jammed like there was no tomorrow. She was my music buddy and we got along pretty damn well. I would play wing man for her at parties and on nights out, helping her to find her next romance. She was my wing woman until I met Ada."[/i]

We keep in touch when we can. We may not talk every single day but we’re the kind of friends that doesn’t need constant affirmation to keep the friendship going. We hang when her band rolls into Chicago and she even came out to Honolulu when I was living out there. She’s one of the good ones.[/center]
[hr]
[center][color=ed145b]❦[/color] [color=a187be][b]Adelaide Grimaldi[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color]
[i]"She was the lighthouse in my fog. She guided me back onto the path that I was meant to be on and helped me clean up my act. She was amazing to me but I didn’t want to hold her back. I had to let her go so that she could be the best that she could be in her life. She deserved more than me weighing her down and, as much as it killed me, I’m glad that I broke things off with her."[/i]

I think it’s pretty safe to say that we didn’t keep in touch. I still think about her though, from time to time. Sometimes I’ll ask Ash how she’s getting on but, apart from that, I don’t know much. I know she’s living in Chicago now, which is kind of weird. I didn’t know that when I moved out here, though. Maybe we’re meant to be in the same place again, all these years later? Who knows, man.[/center]

[center][color=yellow]☯[/color] [b][color=fff200]Simone Carter[/color][/b] [color=yellow]☯[/color]
[i]"She supplied me with my… needs, as it were. I had nothing against her, in fact, she had her moments of being funny and kind of cool. I should have tried to befriend her, but I didn’t. She always seemed to smile more when she was dealing with me than some of the others, maybe she thought of me as a friend? I like to think she did but I guess I’ll never know."[/i]

I actually miss her dumb remarks about my dreads. I miss dealing with her. No one deserved her fate, no one. I-I can’t think about her anymore, I’m sorry.[/center]
[hr]
[center][color=yellow]☯[/color] [color=f26522][b]Cynthia McMillan[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color]
[i]"We didn’t interact. I kind of preferred it that way to be perfectly honest. She was one of the only people in high school that I didn’t see any redeeming qualities in and didn’t even entertain the idea of trying to befriend her. She was just way too mean for me."[/i]

Not much to say about her. It’s a shame what she’s went through but karma is a bitch. Hopefully someone is there for her though. I certainly wouldn’t want to go through that myself.[/center]
[hr]
[center][color=orange]✿[/color] [color=crimson][b]Ashley Cunningham[/b][/color] [color=orange]✿[/color]
[i]"She was pretty cool. Sure, she had her mean streak to her but she wasn’t all bad. She was pretty funny too and we’d have good ol’ jam sessions on the guitar when the mood took us. We’d hang out a lot when she was with Marc and we’d make sure to make time for each other when they were on a break. She’s a really nice, up front girl and she’s Ada’s best friend. What’s not to like?"[/i]

We lost touch after I ended things with Ada which was completely understandable. I didn’t want to ever get between those two and I’m glad that I didn’t. I was sad to lose touch with her but I found her again on Facebook (before she shot to fame) and we started talking again. We’ve become close friends since we started talking again and she’s one of my remaining links to Ada but I try not to be creepy and only ask about her when it comes up naturally in conversation.[/center]
[hr]
[center][color=cyan]❅[/color] [color=82ca9d][b]Marc Tinder[/b][/color] [color=cyan]❅[/color]
[i]"We were best friends, as unlikely as that sounds. He’s the one responsible for introducing me to Ada. Guy is a fuckin’ genius, man. He’s a true brother and I’m glad to have him in my life."[/i]

We kept in touch of course, he wasn’t one to get stuck in the middle of “romantic drama” (except when it came to Ash) and was a good friend through it all. He’s pretty busy with work but we make time to talk and I sometimes go out to see him and I always offer him to come see me when he had time off of work. I was a little more insistent when I lived in Hawaii but he didn’t always accept. Kai didn’t really talk to Marc about Ada much, he saved those kinds of chats for Ash. Marc asked Kai once, why he never went to visit Ada once he was in Chicago and Kai soon put a stop to that with the silent treatment. Plus, it’s not like Kai hadn’t had relationships since Ada, just none that really stuck. Marc knew better than to bring Ada up too often.[/center]

[center][color=orange]✿[/color] [color=c0c0c0][b]Jae-Kwoon Park[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color]
[i]"This little dude was one hell of a flirt. I'd give him the DL on who was single and looking for some fun at the parties. It kept me entertained and he was a chill enough guy. We never used to talk much but we discovered a mutual dislike in a certain dickhead individual and we became friends."[/i]

We didn't keep in touch after graduation, not too sure why but life happens, man.[/center]
[hr]
[center][color=red]☢[/color] [color=00a99d][b]Atlas Sterling[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color]
[i]"Learn to relax, brother! This guy just drove me nuts! Dick tried to cut my dreads off, man! That shit isn't cool. I think he was one of the only people in high school that I just plain didn't like. Ash would step up with Ada to defend me though, which helped make us better friends, so that's about the only good thing to come out of interacting with the wannabe Grecian Titan."[/i]

We had no need to keep in touch and I don't know what he's up to. I have grown past my dislike for him though, kids are kids. It's just the way of growing up. I'd like to think that we're chill when we meet again, but who knows?
