I don’t know if I have one of my own, honestly. I wasn’t here long before Naomi approached me and asked me to join the Hive. I’m not sure if that means my reputation is hers and I’m just borrowing it. I quickly fell into that clique life, and while I’m on a couple of teams, and I know a couple of people who I see when I go out on the ocean, I think people mostly know me as Naomi’s new project, her missing piece for senior year. I’m fine with that. I’ll ride that through to university and it’ll be fine. "[/color] [/indent] [sub][h3][color=42B5AE]►[/color] [color=skyblue]current dilemma[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“So, one of the reasons why I was happy to be accepted into Naomi’s circle, is because Angel Vazquez is in her circle, and Angel is… well, she does things to me. I started exploring my sexuality in Australia, [url=https://iv1.lisimg.com/image/15367801/740full-katelyn-nacon.jpg]shout out to Kai[/url], hope you’re doing all right, but Angel… I don’t know what it is. And I definitely can’t say anything. ‘Hey, I know you’re the head of Faith Forward, but you should totally throw away all that religious stuff and join me on the beach sometime.’ Plus Naomi would have a fit if I broke up the clique over that, so what do I do about this? I don’t know. It's tough keeping up this veneer that Hive membership has gotten me. Maybe I’ll figure something out.”[/color][/indent][/indent] [center][color=skyblue]▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃[/color][/center] [center][h3][color=skyblue]Details[/color][/h3][/center] [indent][sub][h3][color=42B5AE]►[/color] [color=skyblue]social media handles[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“I am on all the socials @Indy520, because it was the lowest number above 500 that I could get, and it shows I go beyond the 500 people think of when they think of my name. I’m on TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Insta, Threads, and Discord.”[/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=42B5AE]►[/color] [color=skyblue]style [/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“Well, before I was more about comfort. You know, moving around as much as I did, I wanted to be able to move. But since I joined the Hive, Naomi has been more… insistent that I dress accordingly. She keeps saying I need to show off my legs more, so I started wearing higher-cut shorts and skirts, even away from the beach, and getting stuff from the Mermaid’s Closet to pair with it. I’ve never been one to go bougie brands or anything, but Naomi also has given me a few pieces, so it makes sense to dress accordingly.”[/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=42B5AE]►[/color] [color=skyblue]ride & everyday items[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“I don’t have a car at the moment. Never really had a chance to get my license with all the moving, and Australia backwards anyway. Thankfully I can hitch a ride with another member of the Hive, but I’d love to find a crossover or something in my parents’ range. Then I could get to the beach a lot easier. I don’t carry a lot of things besides the essentials, but I have my Galaxy, that’s a given with the Hive duties, and I do carry a little jar of sand. I’ve got grains from every beach we’ve lived near. There’s some pretty bands in there.”[/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=42B5AE]►[/color] [color=skyblue]extracurricular activities[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“I am on the volleyball team. All my beach volleyball skills transfer over pretty well. I guess I’m the athlete of the Hive. I’m a surfer as well, I started picking it up the last time I was in California, and while there aren’t waves in Turkey, there are plenty in Australia. As long as you respect the sharks, you can ride the ocean, and it’s very exhilarating. I keep trying to get some of the other Hive minds to try it, but I can’t convince them. I think Levi maybe, but the others? Nah. Other than that, I do a couple other things here and there.”[/color][/indent][/indent] [center][color=skyblue]▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃[/color][/center] [center][h3][color=skyblue]Questionnaire[/color][/h3][/center] [indent][sub][h3][color=skyblue]Friends would describe me as _______.[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]”Well, I hope they remember me first of all. I actually get that here. I hope they think of me as a loyal friend who always has their back. Someone who is willing to do what it takes to make sure something is a success. Someone who makes sure that things keep going as they should… I said loyal, right? That’s important.”[/color] [/indent] [sub][h3][color=skyblue]In my free time I like to _______.[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]”Surfing and volleyball is a lot of it, then I have all the time I spend with Naomi, Lottie, Levi and Angel. On rare days that I don’t have training or studying planned, I like to just plan a bonfire, chill out with people. Naomi is a stickler on the rules, but I told her I have permits. I do play some video games, I got a Switch before we moved to Turkey so I had something I could do that wasn’t in Arabic.”[/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=skyblue]I would like to learn _______ in the next year.[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]”I would like to finish learning how to drive, like I mentioned. I would also like to learn what I’m going to do in university. I know I have the full ride to the Beach with [url=https://www.hawtcelebs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/michelle-pfeiffer-at-big-little-lies-season-2-premiere-in-new-york-05-29-2019-2.jpg]my mom[/url] and [url=https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/pJJCzXJcup0qQ30vggnPqg2q53X.jpg]my dad[/url] both teaching there, but I don’t think I’m going to be a marine biologist so I don’t know what I’m doing.”[/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=skyblue]This is how I define success and failure:[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“Success to me is setting up my teammates or my friends for their own success. In volleyball, a good spike comes from a hard-fought dig and a perfect set. All pieces need to work to get the attack off. As long as I’m helping move that chain, that feels good. Failure would be not being able to learn something from an experience. I’ve already learned so much here being friends with the Hive, failure to me would be if we didn’t end up seeing that through to the end.”[/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=skyblue]I'm inspired by _______.[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“Whenever I’m able to just sit with the grains of sand in my toes, lean back on a towel or a blanket, hear the sounds of the waves hitting the shore, look up and see the night sky spread out above, then look out and see that same inky black ripple and shake, it just makes me feel so small in the grand scheme of things. In a good way! Oh, and Naomi has been such an inspiration since I came to BHHS. Obviously.”[/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=skyblue]These songs are the soundtrack to my life:[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“So I’ll try and do these in order but I tried to get something from every country I’ve lived in. Aside from Turkey. Couldn’t get into the music there. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET3-t1jFmo0]“Fine Again by Seether - I was born in Cape Town, South Africa although I didn’t spend long there. Enough to get my nickname though. This band didn’t spend long in South Africa either, but I just really like this song. It reminds me that even in the tough times, when things feel like Hell, things will be OK.”[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmPxhWb9nsc]“Song to a Moonlit Mermaid by Aenima - OK, no one knows this band. I think I must have heard it somewhere in Portugal, but when I listen to this, I’m just instantly on the beach, I’m seeing that mermaid, I know it’s dark, but it’s going to be fine.”[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOBay3G4aQU]“Trinity by Paper Tongues - This is the song I put on for Angel, seems to be up her alley, but it’s about not trying to do too much, just trying to survive. I get that sentiment, but it still inspires me to do things for others too. But yeah, North Carolina band, from when my mom was teaching at Duke.”[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FgqklnUSDk]“Ebb and Flow by Ray - OK, so don’t share this, but my guilty pleasure when the weather is too terrible to go to the beach is watching anime. I blame the time in Japan. Anyway, this was from an anime called Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea, and it was the opening theme song, and I’m guessing you’re sensing a theme, but I’m an ocean girl. What do you want from me?”[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN4k3mnJteo]“Vengo by Ana Tijoux - When we were in Chile, I started to expand my horizons a little bit, and Ana Tijoux is this amazing hip-hop artist that was super big there. Super feminist, super environmentalist, kinda one of my idols. Definitely needs more fame.”[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWEK4v9AVKQ]“Stay by Zedd & Alessia Cara - I don’t endorse Here, which was the first time I heard Alessia Cara sing. I swear Canadian stations just have to pump Canadian music in at all times. But she was good in this, and I felt it, I wanted to stay put, I was getting tired of moving. I didn’t have the person she was singing about, but just that desire to hold onto something was growing.”[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i63yumCNdJs]“Chinese Satellite by Phoebe Bridgers - There’s a detachment here that I definitely felt when I first heard it before we moved from California to Turkey. It felt like I was leaving home again for this weird unknown, and drifting. I was worried about how things were going to go, but I guess I made it back. It’s a very meditative song.”[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxKjOOR9sPU]“Sweet Disposition by the Temper Trap - OK, I went back in time for my Australian entry, but this song is like my theme song. Whenever I break a new wave, whenever my team wins a set, whenever I just have a great thought to start a new day, this is the song that plays in my head. It’s a song about potential, and considering the darker stuff from earlier, it’s a nice counter balance.”[/url][/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=skyblue]My fondest memory as a child was _______.[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“It’s tough to pick out just one, but I’ll say the first time I went into the deep water with my parents. I was seven, we were in Florida, and out in the Gulf of Mexico and my father finally let me jump in with him while he was heading out to collect data from one of the buoy stations. It was the first time I felt a part of my parents’ lives rather than just a carry-on bag or something.”[/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=skyblue]If I could tell my younger self something, I would say:[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“Don’t get too comfortable in one place, but be sure to take as much of it in as possible. There aren’t many people who get to live a life like that, so while there are challenges, there are blessings too. Enjoy all of it.”[/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=skyblue]The things that make me smile are _______.[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]”That first full breath of sea air in a day, being able to make a success of something, my friends. I got a lot to smile about. I just don’t want to wreck it.”[/color][/indent] [sub][h3][color=skyblue]My whole life story in one sentence:[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]”A girl who’s run out of fingers to count the places she’s lived is finally in a spot where she can make an impression that won’t get washed away by the waves.”[/color][/indent] [/indent] [center][color=skyblue]▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃[/color][/center] [indent][sub][h3][color=42B5AE]►[/color] [color=skyblue]extra information[/color][/h3][/sub] [indent][color=42B5AE]“We do have a dog, a year-old Labrador named Sydney, he was a pain in the ass getting over here from Australia, but he’s lovable as hell. Also, it’s been hard not to drink after it happened so often Down Under. I think I’m OK, but still, high school parties are going to have drinks right? Even if Naomi and the others give me looks. That’s the American high school experience right there.”[/color] [sub][color=lightgray]NPC FCs: Dr. June Adams (mother), 54, Dean of Marine Biology studies at Cal State Long Beach = Michelle Pfeiffer, Dr. David Adams (father), 59, Professor of Marine Biology at Cal State Long Beach = Pierce Brosnan, Kai Kewell, 18, first girl kiss = Katelyn Nacon[/color][/sub][/indent] [/indent][/hider]
