Characters:
|✧| Elizabeth - "I'll be damned if her complexion couldn't rival Asians."
Aiden's initial impressions of Elizabeth was that she was annoying and pity-giving, he cynically thought of it as mocking and took no heed. Well over the years she had managed to tear down his walls, even though he wanted to stay distant for fear off moving, she persisted and persisted and eventually Aiden unconsciously found himself talking to her. She still annoys him though. Especially when she rips his headphones off to talk to him/wear it.

|✧| Theo - "Reminds me of a really lanky Yao Ming... What? That's not racist."
He was more distant than Aiden, and that's saying something. He's even further introverted than that, being asocial to the point where he doesn't try to hide he dislikes someone. Aiden is glad to not be on that end. Other than that he's a good friend to have around and is very... very competitive, in games specifically. Aiden had personally tried his games and he personally enjoyed it despite the flaws.

|✧| Alyx - "Well, people view her as the stereotypical 'bratty and annoying' popular kid. I'll tell you right now, it's more than that."
Her walls scale higher up than Aiden, and his walls were pretty tall. He can sympathise to a degree with her, even though the walls he built around himself were vastly different from hers. Even though she and Aiden are different, with her preferring to be in the spotlight and Aiden wanting to skirt the outside of the lights, he feels a sort of kindred bond. The feminine wiles she puts up can easily be seen through by Aiden, and so many people his grade fall for it, it's almost funny to him.

|✧| Sophie - "This girl can be bundled up to; Energetic yet awkward pun making machine."
Aiden likes the finer arts, and reading is one of them. Aiden personally likes her writing style, and usually tries to convince her to let him read her works. He is actually quite surprised for not being the shortest of the group despite being Asian, with him being slightly taller than the girls. Other than that he tends to get along quite well with Sophie, although he noticed an odd thing about her, once there was a massive argument in their little clique, with Aiden and Liz mediating, out of the corner of his eye he noticed her skirting away from the shouting. Aiden has also gotten her signature on a notepad, a future investment if you will.

|✧| Roslyn - "I think she the only person that can rival Sophie's energy."
He thinks she can be ditzy and distracted at times, easily moving from one thing to the next, despite having already placed alot of effort in the last thing. Her energy, much like Sophie, can actually tire out Aiden to the point where he just listens to his music. Unlike him, and much like the other people in his personal clique, she has talent, specifically in drawing. He really believes his group to be a bundle of talent, with him being the sole exception.

|✧| Loki - "The prejudice surrounding this dude is beyond me, man how close minded are people."
The overprotective sibling of Roslyn, with Aiden even noticing how very protective Loki is. He wants to tell him to lighten up and relax, but he keeps his mouth shut for now, maybe in the future. Aiden has personally interfered with the poking at his gender, because usually they would end in bloody fist fights or words being slung back and forth. Aiden really doesn't care much for a person's past, and lives in the now, so he's cool with Loki.

|✧| Callum - "If I could give him a title, it'd be 'the Pioneer.'"
He and Aiden share the same disposition of bullying, he's seen Cal intervening with bullies before, giving Aiden a very good impression of him. Aside from that, he's the second most annoying that Aiden ranks. He's not afraid to state his opinion, and it's usually stated very loudly. He's also fairly unobservant, unable to pick up on ques when people are sad or angry, only ever getting it if it's very very obvious. One of the things Aiden heavily dislikes are the constant, endless slew of pranks. With him even accidently breaking one of his headphones in one of them. He tries to stay away from his pranks.

Characters:

|✧| Elizabeth: "The girl is sweet, funny and has a shitload of money...what's not to like?"
Alyx has always felt as if Elizabeth was ultimately better than her. It was hard not to like her, with her gentle demeanour and optimistic view on life, yet Alyx still feels the sting of jealousy every time she talks to Elizabeth. However, this doesn't stop her from being surprisingly friendly with her, considering her as one of her best friends and often playfully teasing her as being 'the rich girl'; which shouldn't be taken to heart, she teases Elizabeth out of fondness more than anything.

|✧| Aiden: "I understand him, he understand me. It's simple, really."
Initially, Alyx detested Aiden for his 'don't care' attitude and certainly made sure he knew it. But as he became part of their group, she found herself talking to him and expressing her feelings to him more and more. She asked herself many times: 'why?' Until she finally realised it was because he had walls too, similar yet so different to her own. It was then that she let herself grow close to him, and he's probably one of the first people she'll go to if she needs someone to talk to.

|✧| Theo: "I don't really get why he hates himself so much. I like him...isn't that saying something?"
Theo is certainly puzzling to Alyx. She will often attempt at bringing up his self esteem, displaying her gentle side like she does with no one else. At times, she can become exasperated with his low moods, but unlike she would with most others, she'll try not to let him see her annoyance. It's with Theo that anyone can see a definite change in Alyx, and see her softer, sweeter self.

|☺| Sophie: "I don't know. I guess she's nice, we just don't click."
If there's anyone in the group that Alyx doesn't get along well with, it's Sophie. There's somethings about her bubbly demeanour that puts her off. Maybe it's the awkwardness? It's this girl that Alyx usually vents her sarcastic comments on, perhaps pointing out a certain flaw or dismissing her opinion. This doesn't mean that she doesn't care about her, no, there's just something that doesn't appeal to Alyx in Sophie, but she has no idea what. Perhaps, if she did, she would attempt to get past the immature dislike, yet right now, it's near impossible.

|✧| Roslyn: "She's not exactly boring..."
Rose's exciteable demeanour often puts off Alyx, perhaps annoying her from time to time. The girls are just so different, it isn't difficult to see where they would disagree in some things. However, in a way they balance each other out; where Alyx can sometimes snap at people, Rose will be there to settle her down, and where Rose will often get a little dazed and distracted, Alyx will be there to pull her back to reality. Alyx certainly is a better person with Rose around, and it's pretty clear to see.

|✧| Loki- "He's a sweetheart, there's no denying it."
Alyx sees Loki as a real role model. His genuinely caring self will never really fail to put a smile on her face, and the love he has for his sister is something she greatly respects. If anyone were to utter a single bad word about him, she would not hesitate to bring forth hell upon them. You get on the bad side of Loki, then you get on the bad side of Alyx. It's a rare sight to see her so protective, so it is certainly not something to be underestimated.

|☺/♡| Callum- "He's like a caveman: dumb, crass, and barely housebroken."
Alyx and Callum spend the majority of their conversations at each other's throats. Alyx will save her harshest insults for the boy, often shooting him dirty looks and going for the low blows. However, she does have a secret liking towards him. Although she will never admit it, she finds him funny and pretty attractive too and has a certain soft spot for his determined nature. Whether this will lead to something, it's hard to tell, but the two without a doubt will probably never stop shooting insults at each other, much to the dismay of others.

|✧| |Elizabeth| - "Elizabeth? Oh man, I love her! She's like a second sist-uh- a sister to me!" | "How we met? I'd seen her pink hair in the halls and one day I just noticed she was in the same class as me!"
|♪| |Aiden| - "Hmm, oh, yeah. Aiden, he can be a bit rude sometimes but he protects my brother so I guess we're good!" | "Hm, I can't exactly remember how we met...maybe it was a class...or...."
|☺| |Theo| - "Theo can draw, and it's great to have another artist in the group! I love talking about techniques with him, he's such a great artist! | "Let's see if I can remember this time...oh yeah! Art class is where we met!"
|✧| |Alyx| - "Alyx can seem kind of mean sometimes, but you just have to get to know her! Trust me! That girl is great! | "I remember exactly how we met! I'd seen her in the halls all the time and she seemed mean, but I just started talking to her and...I dunno!"
|♪/♡||Sophie| "Sophie? Aheh...she's such a dork! Her puns are so goofy and she's such a great writer...." | "I noticed her too in the halls, almost between every class. I haven't really confronted her one on one though...."
|✧||Loki| "My brother? Well...he's a little protective sometimes, it gets really annoying. I still love him to bits though! | "We've known each other since I was born silly!"

|☺||Elizabeth| - "Elizabeth's pretty chill. She's like the total opposite of my sister; calm." | "Elizabeth was the first person that Rose made friends with, so I was of course introduced to her."
|✧||Aiden| - "I have a lot of respect for the guy; he likes music, like me, and he's helped with the occasional bully. I like talking about music with him too." | "I saw him with his headphones on once and asked him what he was listening to. From the the conversation juts kind of escalated."
|♪||Theo| - "Theo needs to not worry about himself so much and talk life a little more easily. I'm glad we've got someone else in the group who draws other than my sis." | "Of course, Rose told me about Theo and I met him the next day at school. I'm not really the making friends type between us two."
|✧||Alyx| - "Heh. She's a bitch. Rose says there's more to her, but I'm not really interested. Well, at first that's how I felt. Then I saw what she did to the people who made fun of me; it rains hell. We've become pretty good friends since. | "Again, through Rose. The second she described her to me I remembered seeing Alyx in the halls and told Rose to stay away from her. Now, I see that she's got a totally different appearance from her personality."
|☺| |Sophie| - "She seems shy, but she really isn't. I can understand why Rose likes her. It's totally noticeable; she's a quirky weird geek girl. It's pretty much what Rose has described to me as her soul mate. Heh." | "After Rose told me about her, I said I'd go talk to her; protective brother and all. I was actually expecting someone totally different. We talk a bit, even if she is quiet. I haven't told her about Rose's crush on her though."
|✧| |Rose| - "I admit, my sister seems a little too hyper at times but I've gotten use to it. I love her to pieces and would kill myself if anything happened to her; hence me being the protective older brother. Even if I am only a year older! Sometimes she'll slip up with my name or my pronouns but it's understandable." - "Did you not just hear me? We're siblings!"

|✧| Elizabeth - "She's a warm person to be around, sweet, always there for you and she's got a killer smile"

Callum remembers meeting Elizabeth at his work place. Back when he was working as a barister, not the best paid job in the world but he enjoyed the social side of it, especially when it meant meeting new people, like Elizabeth. He tried to impress her with his coffee making 'skills', which he's still convinced worked considering she sought him out at school and they've been friends since. Callum generally targets Elizabeth first when he wants to convince the group to do something. Alongside Aiden, she's able to calm him down when he goes off on one. If Callum feels down or under the weather he goes straight to Elizabeth, she's got a knack for lifting his spirits. He's got a soft spot for her and has a terrible habit for calling her Lizzie, though he can be abruptly corrected by a wallop.

|✧| Aiden - "He's quiet, kind of keeps to himself and still hasn't forgiven me for breaking his headphones"

Aiden's alright in Callum's books, he likes the fact that they both feel the same way about bullying and he even appreciates Aiden's blunt honesty. He struggles with Aiden sometimes because of how unmotivated he can be, doesn't stop him from trying to involve him in everything. Aiden's mediating skills seem to be very effective on Callum when he gets worked up.

|☺| Theo - "He's cool. Got good taste in music and food come to think of it...he's too good at video games though"

Considering how blunt and honest most of his friends are it's a good thing Callum has a thick skin. Theo's blunt and snarky behaviour doesn't seem to phase him most of the time, it only seems to bother him if he's got his rage on. Callum doesn't completely understand Theo's mood swings but he doesn't like the way he puts himself down and will often attempt to cheer him up with a few words or try to distract him. Usually by bringing up video games, Theo is the first person he'll seek out if the opportunity to play video games arises. He's convinced that Theo is better at video games than him and he can get competitive about it.

|☺/♡| Alyx - "Alyx? Distant relative of the Ice Queen...annoyingly smart, enjoys insulting me and always has to have the last word"

Callum likes Alyx, more than he'd willingly admit. They tend to spend most of their time trading blows, figuratively. She's one of the only people who can really get under his skin, though he tries his best to give as good as he gets. Still, he likes teasing her and in return he enjoys the backlash it earns him, more so because he thinks of it as a competition if she rolls her eyes or gives him the death glare, he wins and if he gets irritated, he loses. There is more to it than that, Callum is the first person to jump to Alyx's defence whether she appreciates it or not and in case he oversteps, he often has red twizzlers close at hand, peace offerings. Callum had been aware of Alyx for some time, but only started talking to her after being introduced to her by Elizabeth.

|✧| Sophie - "Hmm, always wears that grey beanie, has a good sense of humour and I'm pretty sure she can drop a pun in any situation...maybe it's a writer thing?"

Callum met Sophie in class, he struggles to remember what class it was but he remembers liking Sophie from the word go, possibly because of her quirky nature and willingness to talk. Though he avoids reading when he can, he's usually happy to listen to Sophie's ideas or latest book gossip, he's particularly enthusiastic when she talks about movies and will often seek her out if anything new pops up in the film charts. He'll often ask Sophie to be his partner in 'crime' when it comes to pranks, depends on the scale of it. Tends to tease her about the height difference between them.

|☺| Rose - "Excited about everything, she reminds me of a puppy. Cute, full of energy and easily distracted"

Callum met Rose shortly after meeting Loki. Rose is the second person Callum will lock on to if he wants the group to go out and do something. He's drawn to her bubbly personality and likes the fact that she's almost always excited about things. He's not entirely convinced she's as innocent and naive as she seems, namely because she reminds him of his sisters, especially when she ducks out from under Loki's shield. Considering how protective Loki already is of Rose, Callum doesn't feel the need to be overly protective of her.

|☺| Loki - "He's a good guy, sticks up for his sister, I can respect that. I don't get why people rag on him all the time"

Callum met Loki before he met Rose. He came across Loki when he was searching for a guy who'd wronged one of his sisters. The guy in question was ragging on Loki and Callum stepped in before things got a chance to get violent...well in the sense that he knocked the guy on his ass before saying "Didn't think you needed the help but I had to floor this guy, he messed with my sister" He wasn't really sure whether Loki would speak to him again after this but shortly after he met Rose and over time he's gotten to know them both. He likes Loki and doesn't understand why people feel the need to pick on him. He'll often ask Loki about his music and whether he can listen to it, he's calmest when around Loki unless someone decides to pick on him.
