[h1][b]Gabriela Mendez[/b][/h1]

[h3]What's your name?[/h3]

[i]Gabi.[/i]

[h3]How old are you?[/h3]

[i]Old enough. Okay, okay, fine. 16.[/i]

[h3]What do you look like?[/h3]

[i]...You serious, man? I'm like right here. You see me, don't you? Whatever. I think I'm about 5'5" or close to that. Last I checked, I weigh like 140ish. Might be a little more now. I'm not all that buff but I try to work out sometimes. My folks are from Costa Rica, but my grandpa moved there from Jamaica, so I'm mixed. My hair's really curly and black, and man, it's a bitch to manage. My face is kinda round, I've got brown skin, my ears and forehead are pretty big. My eyes are green, but a little bit blue, sorta in-between. I try to keep my eyebrows done most of the time, they get thick when I don't.[/i]

[h3]Do you have any hobbies?[/h3]

[i]Who doesn't? I like a lot of stuff. Music's cool, I kinda want to get into that if I can one day. I've always wanted to try surfing, but I don't think a lake's got the best waves. Like yeah, people do it, but it's cold as hell, man. Skating's fun though. Boards, not blades. I can't stand for shit in rollerblades. My dad goes boating some weekends, I join him every now and then. Sometimes we catch fish. I usually don't. Oh, and I spend a lot of time in the park. Presque Isle, not Cedar Hills. That place is sketch as hell. I kinda like exploring town too. Southside has some cool places if you can avoid the muggers. I guess other than that the Lemon's a nice place to visit. Dinosaurs are rad.[/i]

[h3]What are some things that you especially dislike?[/h3]

[i]Oh boy. Thieves, junkies, people who hurt others and take from them. It pisses me off. We work hard for what we get and some asshole who cares more for his next fix than a person's life comes along with a gun all like "give me your money?" Nah. Fuck all that. Bikers are kind of the same, I guess. They don't come through a lot where I live but they're so damn [b]loud[/b] all the time. Other things, scrapple. Scrapple's fucking terrible. I had it at a friend's house once. Never again. I don't really like squids either. They're creepy.[/i]

[h3]What are your goals for the future? Both immediate and long-term.[/h3]

[i]I dunno. I wanna do music stuff when I'm older, I guess? I never really thought of it as like, a career, but that would be cool if I could manage. I guess my big goal is to make sure I don't screw up super hard in school. I might go out-of-state for college if I can? But right now, I think my most immediate goal is grabbing a burger. Ya girl is hungry.[/i]

[h3]What's your home life like? Specifically, what is your relationship like with your parents?[/h3]

[i]It's pretty alright. My folks are good to me and my little bro. We ain't rich but I wouldn't say we struggle too much most months. I'm considering maybe trying for a job to help out, though. Rent's been rough lately and my mom is especially stressed over it. Some place at the mall's gotta be hiring. I like to go out on weekends with my dad, but my mom's more the stay-at-home type. We watch stuff on Fridays together. She's been trying to teach me and my bro how to cook, but I can't do it to save my life.[/i]

[h3]What's your favorite animal, and why?[/h3]

[i]Is it against the rules to say dinosaurs? I really like dinosaurs. For stuff that's alive, sharks are rad. Hammerheads especially. They're kinda goofy but they're still sharks. Ocean life is just really cool. Can you imagine being able to swim around underwater like that? Without having to come up for air, being able to go as fast as they can? It's amazing, man. Komodo dragons are rad too. Big boys. I really like lizards, and they're huge and poisonous, I think. Nobody messes with them because of that.[/i]

[h3]Favorite color?[/h3]

[i]Gold.[/i]

[h3]Do you identify with any song or piece of music?[/h3]

[i]My mom's really into 80s rock so I've kinda grown up on that. Bon Jovi. Good shit.[/i]

[h3]Do you believe in aliens?[/h3]

[i]Sure, yeah, I guess so. Space is a real big place, I'd be shocked if there wasn't anything out there. I don't really think they've ever visited, but who knows, man. Maybe there's some X-Files shit going on we just don't know about.[/i]

[h1][b]Gabriela's Relationships[/b][/h1]

[color=lightyellow][b]Connor Rice[/b][/color]
[i]Connor's great. I've known him pretty much forever, since we were real little. He's kinda quiet, but you should've seen him like, 8 years ago. Kid wouldn't talk to anybody. Now he's opened up a little more, which is great! Still kind of quiet, but that's not really a bad thing for some folks. Maybe it just works better for him, ya know? I like hanging with him when he's got the time for it, we watch a lot of movies and stuff. I like learning about his plant stuff too, it's really neat. I kinda wanna surprise him with like a spice garden or something but I'd probably end up killing it before I could give it to him. I ain't good with that kinda stuff,
still learning. He'd probably get a kick out of it though. Sometimes I show up at his work and he doesn't like that too much, but I'm like, totally testing his resolve. It's good to do, yeah? Make sure he's on top of his game. I support him.[/i]

[color=lightblue][b]Noah J. Ward[/b][/color]
[i]Noah's a good guy. Real wholesome type of dude. And he's [b]big[/b] too, like, goddamn. Anyway, yeah, I've gotten along well with him so far. I haven't hung out with him a lot but he's a good dude, like one of those real sweetheart types you ain't scared of bringing home to meet your folks. But uh, kinda getting ahead of things there. We don't know each other too well yet, but we share a couple classes and I've listened to him talk about his family's farm before. Farms are cool, man. They got all kinds of cool animals you can't have in the city. I've never been to it, but I'd like to check it out if he ever invites me over, for some reason. Maybe I could pet a pig. Pigs are rad. He plays football too, which is cool? I'm not that into football, can't throw a ball to save my life, but I can respect it. Shit's real demanding.[/i]

[color=indianred][b]Ash Fitzsimmons[/b][/color]
[i]A lot of folks don't like Ash, and sometimes it's not hard to see why, but he's not a bad guy. Kind of a hothead, yeah, but it's fine, man. There's a lot more to him than people really give him credit for. Like, people might think of him as just some dumb white trash meathead that isn't worth their time, but that ain't true. Dude's got heart even if he pretends like he doesn't. We sit next to each other in the same class and we work together a lot when we can. He's pretty damn good at drawing stuff, actually. Dude's been a big help on projects and stuff, illustrations of sciencey shit for extra credit and all that. I help him out if he asks for it, and I don't mind it. We haven't hung out too much outside of class, but I think it would be cool if we did. I think he really just needs someone to listen to him.[/i]

[b][color=seagreen]C.J. Makowski[/color][/b]
[i]Man, real talk? I try to like people. Even if they're not my type of people, I try. But with her? I dunno, man. She makes it really goddamn hard sometimes. I dunno anything about her and she's like, dedicated to keep it that way. We barely talk and when we do I don't think either of us really want to keep it going. It feels like she's got a lot of issues and is just taking it out on everyone else, and if I'm being real, it's getting hard to care about what they could be. Not a fan, which is probably pretty mutual. I just kinda want to keep my distance and let things be.[/i]

[b][color=orange]Peter Przybyszewski[/color][/b]
[i]He the new guy in class? Haven't talked to him yet, but he seems like a nice kid. Dude's real shy though, like shyer-than-Connor-shy I think. That's really saying something, man.  [/i]
