[indent]Tall, talented, handsome, athletic, a star player given the opportunity to ride his way through college on a scholarship. Leon is the epitome of a high school jock, hanging out with the cool kids, working out to perfect his toned body, and focusing more on sports over his studies. At least to most people at Beverly High, that’s just who he is. To the rest of his friends, the other misfits he opened up to, he’s a bubbly, yet mild-mannered closeted nerd who’s really into fantasy novels and sketching artwork.

Leon is the type of man who enjoys the attention he receives while being in the spotlight, dribbling down the court, making that perfect shot. However, he’s also the type who appreciates the idling silence and nonchalant of good company, where he can be how he really feels without the pressures of society bearing down on him. It’s a balanced scale he has to constantly teter across, only tipping one end over the other if it means his decisions and loyalties will end up hurting the people he cares about; then all bets are off.

[/indent]
[sub][h3][color=1E90FF]►[/color] brief history[/h3][/sub]
[indent]Born originally in Chicago, IL, Leon was born to a loving mother and father, both of whom bore no other children. [color=1E90FF]“Not that they had much of a chance mind you, Ma died 2 years after I was born, but the scent of Elderberry and Pine still makes me smile.”[/color] It wasn’t long into his youth that his latent abilities for the court became rather apparent. [color=1E90FF]“Pops tried a couple of sports with me, though I think he always wanted me to be a hockey player. We used to watch the Canucks every season, still do now...did I not mention he was from Toronto?”[/color] Though his youthful days in Chicago were enjoyable, fairer winds eventually crossed him from the heart of the Midwest into the Californian sun. [color=1E90FF]“Pops got a better job opportunity, said it’d be good for us to leave home, leave bad blood and memories behind. That was...7 or so years ago I think, didn’t really know what he meant back then and still don’t know what he means even now. Nah...I just gotta get back home, with graduation soon, college on the horizon, I’ll get there, I’ll make Ma proud.”[/color]
Now as another chapter comes to an end in the life of Leon Barnes, he has one last hurrah before the future takes hold. [color=1E90FF]“For all the curveballs life threw at me, my time at Beverly Hills High was probably some of the best moments I had. The people I met, the friends I made, the lifetime of memories...This is my last chance, y’know? To have a bit of fun before doing something...worthwhile. I don’t really know if this is where I want to be, but...it’s where I’ve gotta be, y’know? Aw hell, let’s do this some other time, yea? Future’s on the horizon, and I’m gonna be there to take it by storm!”[/color][/indent][/indent]

AJ is a bit of a wild card, he’s got a good heart, but his personality can be rather unpredictable at the best of times. That being said, he’s a good man and a powerful athlete. I helped give him a little bulk by having him join my rigorous training regimen and even ‘flexed’ a little to give him a boost during his promposal Junior year. In return he let me drive a really nice car and even though I wasn’t planning on going, bought me a prom ticket and fitted me into a nice suit, it's..probably the best fitting suit I’ve ever worn.

He’s been through some rough times in the past year, I’ve offered to have him join me during my workouts just to get his mind off things, but he never really budged. Suffice it to say, I was rather surprised when he invited me on this road trip of his, I nearly declined but then I thought...maybe he’s offering to me what I tried offering to him...a last chance to appreciate the little things. He may not be fully healed, but maybe even he realizes that I’ve got my own problems to sort out; I respect him for that.

I’ve gotta be honest...I have no idea what to make of this guy. I’ve never had any real interaction from him other than a quick “hey” here and there. Outside of that though, I’ve usually seen him around the other gearheads and he seems rather amicable, but unlike Chris who I think will stab me, Aleks is just on that borderline level of there and attentive to be slightly...unnerving I think.  Like I’m half convinced he’s a vampire, but I’m also half convinced that if I were in a horror movie and I went to close my bathroom mirror he’d be standing right behind me; instead of with a knife though, he’d have like...a bagel in his hand.

Ava? Oh, you mean Short Stack Supremo! Nah, I’m kidding, we’re pretty cool with each other. We don’t hang out one on one very often, but when we do, it’s usually during a good run or work out. Plus, she’s probably one of the only misfits in the crew that I can have an in-depth conversation about sports with; which puts a new spin on nerds speaking another language. Some of the other girls I talk to seem to get pretty jealous whenever I mention hanging out with her, something about her reputation? Couldn’t really care what other people think, to me, she’s just ‘short stack’ and to her, I’m well… ‘meathead’. She still gives me garbage when I told her I was a Bulls fan, I mean, yea I know Jordan was the highlight of their career, but a man’s gotta show his hometown pride off, y’know?

Yea! #TeamHotSauce, the best banging buddies in Beverly Hills High! Oh...uh I mean best banging of buddies...I- I think Chloe told me not to put it that way… Anyway! Chloe’s cool, yea. We get along pretty well and we’d usually grouped up together in class if we ever had to work on projects, good work ethic, y’know? Plus I mean, she’s goddamn fine like fire and she knows I think that and I know that she knows that I’m pretty damn fine too, but uh...yea we had that talk already. It wouldn’t work out, mutual agreement and all, we still flirt though, her more than me. It’s all in good fun though and everyone thinks we’re a thing, but we’re not. You’d think they’d have gotten the message when we never showed up to prom together, but let them think what they want. We’ve got a good thing going and neither of us really want to ruin it.

I don’t know much about Chris, I’ve seen him here and there whenever I’m hanging out with AJ, never pegged him much for conversation though, even so, I usually try to keep my distance. Sometimes I’ll look over and see him giving me this look. It’s not so much the kind of look that says ‘I’m gonna kill you’ so much as it’s the kind of look that says ‘Keep one eye open’. Can’t say that anyone really makes me nervous buuuut… we’re gonna need a bigger RV for this trip I think...

I never really had the chance to get to know Emilia. She seemed nice enough and rather helpful and generous, but I never got to know her better than through passing between the Misfits and the jocks. Regardless of what my personal views of her are, what happened to her was disgusting. I had heard she didn’t take the break up well, but when I actually saw her… I suppose that doesn’t really matter. I have to say though, despite her being rather secluded recently, I was surprised that she wanted to come on this trip with us. Hopefully she knows she’s in good company and maybe we’ll get to chat more before the end of it.

Ivy was an interesting turn of events, cause at school she was this really sweet girl, kind of cute, actually helped me pass history  when I was getting a D in it. As appreciative as I was, I’m ashamed to say I didn’t really think much of her...until that night. It was early in the Junior year, I got a late start to my workout, practice ran later than I thought it would and I took my sweet time getting in a post practice work out. I was about ready to hit the gym when I heard a bunch of loud noises coming from inside and who do I see, but this same bright, bubbly girl going to the absolute max on this punching bag. I think that was a turning point that night, I viewed her in a very different light, saw a little bit of myself in her. We bonded over our loss, our dreams and desires, we workout a lot together and I always bring my sketchbook to the gym now.

Oh, Feebs? Yea I like her, though I didn’t really get to know her before Junior year, well halfway into Junior year, her and I were like co-operatives in Operation AJPromposalaloopa. Before that though, she was just some quiet and shy girl that hung around the Misfits. I mean one second, she’d be in the corner, I’d go back to drawing and by the time I looked back up I had to double take cause her hair turned blue; it took a while to get used to that. Oh, but yea, back to the promposal, so we ended up working together and while I had my doubts she actually had some really good ideas, eventually we just bounced enough off each other to get the proverbial friendship ball rolling. Then we started interacting more, or rather I talked more and she listened more, she’s really good at that. Come to think of it, maybe she always listened, but at least it’s not from the corner anymore? I don’t know, but she likes to see what I have to draw and while she doesn’t exactly like me drawing her, she lets me anyway. Feebs is probably the reason I got into watercolors for a while, she always gave me something new to work with!

When I first met Katie, she was like...hot oil in water. In class, outside the halls, she just seemed to have it out with anyone who even looked at her wrong, let alone spoke to her the wrong way. I learned pretty early on to stay out of that mess, especially after ‘Saucy Sawyer’ tapped her on the ass, pretty sure you could hear that voice halfway across the country. Even after I found out she hung around the misfits, I kind of kept my distance, didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble I guess. It wasn’t until this one night at this party, things are winding down a bit that we get to talking and I realize I had this girl pegged all wrong… Don’t get me wrong, she’s still hot oil in water, she just doesn’t take anyone’s crap and I gotta respect her for that. Once we got to talking about her thing though, I realized the kind of look she had, it was the same as when I’m on the court with that level of focus and determination. If it’s just the two of us, then I’m the brawn and she’s the brains, and that’s coming from the biggest idiot I know.

Nate’s a really good friend of mine, a true brother in arms. We’re like two completely different people, yet one in the same. He’s rather timid and I’m not, he sort of keeps to himself and I don’t, he’s rather small and skinny and...I mean...[b]Look[/b] I know I’m giving really bad examples, but hear me out here. Despite our differences, we both have a commonality here, our love for literature and art. If there was a male version of ‘Book Club’ we’d be it, but instead of sitting in a circle, he’s taking his pictures, I’m drawing trees on my canvas and we’re talking about the idiosyncrasies of Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn (I highly recommend it by the way). He’s like...the biscuit to my jam and if we hadn’t met, I don’t think I’d be as comfortable opening up to the rest of the misfits about my own hobbies. Don’t tell him this, but he’s like my grounded unit, he’s what keeps my lighting from shooting off into space.

Reyna is like...wow, and I mean like a big W.O.W. all caps, periods at the end kind of, yea… Uh, anyway, when we got to hanging out, it was mostly a bit of bball at first, she taught me a few tricks and I got to picking them up pretty quick. Outside of that though when we get to talking, it’s a little weird, like not in a bad way at all either, I just feel equal parts comfortable and...tense? Intimidated? I don’t really know, she makes me feel happy and I like her company, but she’s got so much more freedom than I do, I’ve always been committed to my life’s career and she’s like water dancing with the wind. I never made a move on her, didn’t think I could live the life I have now while managing a relationship. I couldn’t tell you if things will change with this trip, but if nothing else, it’ll be good to take this trip with her and our friends, maybe feel that freedom she feels every day.

Sami’s a really chill dude ya know? He just seems to like, know things, like the things that are bothering you before you really even know they’re bothering you; it’s like some weird radar superpower juju biz. Like one day, barely even knew this guy, he comes out of nowhere and starts chatting me up, telling me about this beach he goes to unwind and offered me to come down. Literally had no reason to go, like I don’t know this guy, I don’t have any obligations, but I went, felt like a calling I needed to answer ya know? 

Ever since, we’ve been friends, and he’s always there when you need him, even if you didn’t think to call him in the first place. Damn good cook too, he made me a deep dish pizza cause I mentioned it offhand once. Plus, it’s really hard to be mad at the guy. I mean, I saw him punch this one dude in the face and the two have been friends ever since, it was pretty awesome. At the end of the day...if there was, like a sign of god, it’s walking around all of us in a leather jacket, that’s who Sami is.

I dunno, something about that didn’t sit right and I thought she could use a friend, so I made my way over, set down my things and took a seat. She turned to look at me, I gave her my best smile, and I said, [color=1E90FF]“Hey. I’m Leon, and I’m new here. It’s nice to meet you, partner.”[/color] Truth be told, I was already in the LA area for a couple of years now, but she didn’t need to know that, she just needed to know that ‘Hey I’ll be your friend and I’ll be there anytime you need me!’ ...I’d like to think she got the message, I mean, she’s come to every one of my games for the past four years.

I feel like a lot of people either don’t like Val or don’t understand her. Sometimes she gives them this look that scares them off, and I’ll scold her for it...sometimes. Other times I sort of just tussle her hair, especially when she gives me that look. You know the look right? The one that makes you feel like you’re talking to a cactus, but you get underneath them prickly needles and she’s just sweetwater. Eh...Don’t tell her that though, she’s got a mean punch.

Recently though...I don't know I've been getting some weird vibes from her ever since we went to prom together. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I feel like she's been avoiding me or just doing her best to not talk to me? She hangs out with our other friends, which I mean is fine, she's her own person, she can do what she wants. Might be she's just in a mood though, which happens more often than you think it would. Either way, I know we'll have a great summer together, we're best friends after all.
