Palm Beach Royals: Senior Year

_{Chanel | Aaliyah | Julie}

Still floating alone in the middle of the pool Julie blinked the last of her tears out of her eyes. Just as she was in the final stages of her shame spiral, two cannonballs broke the still surface of the water. The redhead splashed about in her state of shock as she turned around in the pool to see what had made the commotion. When she saw that it was her favorite girls a small smile spread across Julie’s mouth that she was hiding under the surface of the water.

“I’m sorry if I scared you guys… I just..” she didn’t really know how to end that sentence. What had she been doing? She was the one who had initiated the weird cat and mouse game with Reli. She was the one who had kissed that big hulking football player and yet, when Reli had left with someone that wasn’t her something had broken inside her. “I don’t know, I just hate men. I’ll just stick with you guys from now on.” she stated and wrapped her arms around Chanel’s neck and floated behind her and rested her chin on her best friends shoulder.

A knowing half-smile appeared on Chanel's lips as she patted Julie's hands with her own. "Girl, join the club," she said with a chuckle. As someone who's had her fair share of being disappointed by the men of King's, Chanel wasn't at all hesitant to speak her truth. "Men are useless. But why even stress over them when you've got your best friends... right Aaliyah? I mean, I don't know many men that would jump into a pool and risk fucking up their makeup just to make sure their girl is okay."

Having jumped so recklessly into the pool left her without thinking about the consequences. The water was so cold and sent rows of goosebumps up and down her spine. Trying not to drown and puke at the same time was something only champions could do or well just Aaliyah in this moment. She surfaced to see Julie enveloping Chanel in quite the loving embrace. Her make up had been undone and began to make a runny mess across her face, only furthering her transition into an undead monster. Best friends?” the thought of them considering her as such kinda sorta blew her mind, but she was too drunk to really obsess over it. “Yeah who needs them? To tell you the truth I’m not very good with guys. I’m like 0-2 for them,” she said, holding up both hands to mimic her record, quickly forgetting she needed to use them to stay afloat.

Julie giggled as the two girls made her feel better. But just as she was about to thank them both, the music cut off and a familiar voice could be heard coming out from the outside speakers. Eyes widening when she heard April's announcement Julie's gaze shifted from Aaliyah to Chanel. "We should probably do some damage control…" she said as she swam to the edge of the pool and hoisted herself up. Dripping wet she looked around for her dress and hastily put it back on soaking the fabric. “Come on! We need to find her. Her idiot boyfriend is probably behind all of this!” she exclaimed as she hastily put on her heels wobbling as she rushed inside the house again. Julie’s dress kept slipping of her shoulder exposing her pale wet skin.

Chanel hurriedly began to follow suit; she couldn't help but cringe as she slipped her costume back on. "Yeah, this is definitely not being worn again," the young woman said as she slapped the cowboy hat on top of her damp braids and sped through the door. Her mind momentarily drifted away from her ruined outfit, however, when the familiar, dopey voice yelled in their direction.

“Woah Jules, if you wanted me that bad we could’ve just continued where we left of back there!” Joshua catcalled from the drinks table.

Julie responded only by raising her hand flipping him off as she pushed through the crowd, craning her neck trying to spot their friend. Chanel threw up a similar gesture in the boy's direction before falling back in step with Julie and Aaliyah. "Okay so, we know she isn't by the liquor table... and after the announcement she just made, I don't think she'd be up for dancing with everyone. That doesn't leave us much ground to cover, right?"

Just as she was gaining her bearings, April had other plans for PBR’s Varsity swim team. In synchronization Jules jumped out of the pool, dressing herself, and running towards the center of the commotion. Chanel followed suit which only left one thing for Aaliyah to do, follow. Floundering out of the pool, Aaliyah rushed as best as she could into her dress in dismay knowing her mother was going to kill her for this. Her heels did no favors to her as having wet feet made them even harder to walk in. Following the trend her friends set, Aaliyah flipped off the boy in her haste to make it to April with the rest of them. “Uh well usually in the movies when people split up, they die so it’s up to you guys. She’s probably going after Santiago or maybe with Kavi?”

But almost as soon as those words had left Aaliyah’s mouth, an angry looking Ariel came storming down the stairs, tears streaming down her face. Chanel watched the girl disappear into the crowd before shooting her friends a confused expression. "I'm gonna assume that whatever... that was means that she isn't with Kavi at the moment. So let's go with Santiago; we find him, and we just might find her. No need to split up."

And so, the three girls continued the search for their friend; But after covering the majority of the downstairs area and taking a quick peek upstairs, Chanel couldn't help but feel defeated. Not only did she begin to feel slightly nauseous from the alcohol and late night swimming combo, but the wet clothing that clung to her body had caused her to grow increasingly uncomfortable as time went on. After a while, Chanel finally just turned to her friends and let out a frustrated sigh. "You know what? Why don't we just go back to Julie's and call it a night? I need to get out of these clothes and get them into the dryer... and I'm sure you two feel the same way. We can just text April and tell her to meet us there."

Hell really did hath no fury like a woman scorned. A storm or anger and tears stomped passed them managing to captivate the other three with the same look of confusion. Unable to lighten the mood Aaliyah just turned to face the other two. “Yeah good plan, I don’t know about y’all but I wasn’t trying to die first” she said with a breath of relief, quickly making her way up the stairs in search of Santiago after finding no trace down below. What felt like a century in soaked clothes and nipping drowsiness from the alcohol left the trio to call it a night. The taste of defeat was almost as bitter as those shots she threw back, “I mean she has to go home, eventually right? I need a hot shower after tonight.”

Legends of Carnation Island (SHELVED)

_{Interacting With: Matt Young}

As far as Valentina Castro was concerned, her Summer vacation had officially started the moment she'd boarded her flight to The Maldives. Throughout the duration of her 20 hour plane trip, the young woman helped herself to multiple Mai Tai cocktails; she'd made sure to pop a few Asprin and stay hydrated, however, to avoid feeling like absolute shit whenever she finally reached her destination. Three full "Hot Girl Summer" playlists later, she'd finally touched down in the small South Asian country. And after impatiently making her way through security and baggage claim, Tina was finally directed to her seat upon a packed double-decker bus. A quick scan of her section of the bus told her that her best friend, Matt Young, was not one of the passengers. Tina couldn't help but wonder just what he was up to as the bus pulled away from the curb and began its journey to the pier.

Unlike the majority of those on the bus, Tina wasn't really in a partying mood. Even when the bus had finally come to a stop and they were all transported to a ferry, all the young woman wanted to do was stretch out across a cozy bed and take the world's longest nap. After all, even party animals need their beauty rest, and she didn't get very much of it on the plane ride over. In fact, Tina had almost dozed off completely when the ferry docked at the Carnation Island pier. After having known Rachel Ashford for going on three years, Valentina wasn't surprised in the slightest to find that the young woman had gone all out for the bonfire party. And by all out, she really meant all out. Not that she was complaining.

Soon, Valentina found herself being handed a packet which contained a key card to her cabana, as well as a map of the island and an invitation to the bonfire party. She was actually on her way to the cabana when she caught sight of the bar and instantly perked back up.

Completely disregarding that fact that she had yet to drop her things off in the cabana, Tina made a beeline for the bar and ordered herself another drink. The young woman had just finished her second glass when more people had begun to arrive. She then hurriedly recollected her things, left a tip on her table, and began to briskly walk to her cabana so that she could freshen up before having to socialize with any of the good-looking guest.

Tina was only slightly surprised to see that Matt had arrived before she did. After pulling the door shut behind her, the young woman cleared her throat before making her presence known. "Oh Mattyyy," she called out in a singsong voice, "Your favorite person in the whole wide world is finally here!" As Tina spoke, she made her way to an unoccupied bedroom and let her bags fall to the floor. Within seconds, she was sprawled out across the bed, her face buried deep in one of the pillows. "Missed you on the party bus and ferry," she said, her voice muffled. "Have you been down to the bar yet, though? You know I usually just like hard shit on the rocks... but those fruity drinks are banging."

@Obscene Symphony

Oh Hell, I see what you mean. In my defense, I was half-asleep when I was typing some of this lol. Sorry!

I have moved her weight down to around 150 instead of 180 and added a bit more about her overall build in the appearance section. She graduated a year ago at 21, and has picked up some keyboard & singing skills throughout her few years of producing. However, she mainly uses beat making software to create her music.

She'll definitely be bummed that she can't smoke when she wants, but she'll get over it pretty quickly.

Tommy hasn't thought much about becoming lost; She always figured that she'd run into her other half at random.
She's also afraid of what will happen after she does find this person, so she never really put as much effort into searching for them as others do. And no problem, I'll brighten the color! Let me know if what I have now is okay!

Name: Tameka "Tommy" Patrick

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Appearance: Tommy is a young lady of Dominican descent, standing at five feet, six inches tall and weighing in at a little over one-hundred fifty pounds. While Tommy does have curves, she has more of an athletic build thanks to her frequent trips to the gym. Her skin is usually free of any blemishes, the only exceptions being the horizontal scar across the bridge of her nose and the freckles that lay underneath. Her natural hair is kinky, dark brown, and shoulder length. You'll usually see her with a blonde undercut, however, as she prefers to bleach, straighten and cut it. Much of Tommy is an assertion of androgyny, from her undercut to her short nails. She enjoys wearing men's clothing, successfully proving that she can not only pull off skirts and dresses, but suits and joggers as well. Although she doesn't spend much time getting ready in the mornings, it's rare to see her in a state of disarray as she believes that she should always look prepared and presentable, especially when she's the most frazzled.

Aside from the scar on her nose, Tommy also has multiple small scars covering her knees, legs, and ankles from childhood incidents. As far as piercings go, she has stretched her earlobes to 4 millimeters and has both a nose stud and septum piercing. Tommy also has one large tattoo of a dragon covering most of her back, and a half-sleeve on her right arm.

Personality: Ever since the day she was born, Tameka Patrick has been an adventurous free-spirit, something that she probably inherited from her birth parents. There is a certain confidence in the way that Tommy walks and talks; she has a way of commanding attention from the moment she steps foot into a room and making strong first impressions. She has never been one to shy away from any platform or spotlight, and will always speak her mind without hesitation or timidity. This, of course, has gotten her into a lot of trouble with her foster parents in the past. Thanks to her parents' superb parenting and her overall upbringing, however, Tommy has grown to be a very self-reliant and independent young woman. She knows how to handle things on her own, and rarely calls on the help of her family members or peers.

There are a few downsides to Tommy's persona, the main one being her impulsiveness and carelessness. While being adventurous, Tommy also has a history of making decisions without thinking them completely through, which probably should result in her regretting them later on. She also tends to be very stubborn and short-tempered; she gets angry quickly if things don't turn out the way she hopes.

Biography: Rebecca Patrick was twenty-five years old when she found out that she would never be able to have kids. For years, the woman and her husband Joseph had desperately tried to conceive a child of their own, so this news was nothing short of devastating. Two years later, however, after realizing just how much they longed to be parents, the married couple decided to foster. Tameka Nicole Patrick was born on a warm, Spring morning, the child of a nineteen year old Dominican immigrant who, due to the pressure placed upon her by Tommy's prejudiced birth father, put both Tameka and her twin sister into the system. They were finally given to the Patrick family to raise as their own at the ages of six.

Growing up, life wasn't always easy for Tommy, but she tried her hardest to make it work. Thanks to her natural charisma and charm, she made friends quickly and easily. Both of her foster parents had decent jobs that allowed them to live a relatively comfortable lifestyle in Brooklyn, New York. It wasn't until Tommy was in middle school that she finally began to experience all of the negatives that came with being one of the Fragmented. While she had a good crop of friends that always had her back, her sister included, Tommy also had a few "enemies" who treated her poorly simply because of the mark around her wrist. Whether it was because they hated her or envied her, Tommy wasn't completely sure. She did know, however, that she'd have to wear a watch or bracelet over her mark throughout the remainder of her secondary schooling.

After finishing school, both Tommy and her sister Tasha went off to a University in Manhattan. Four years later, Tommy would graduate with a degree in Music Production, and her sister with one in Business Administration. During her time in college, Tommy managed to snag herself a steady girlfriend, a paid internship that would help her secure her dream job in the future, and an apartment that she shared with her sister and three other girls they met after advertising for roommates. Although she'd had yet to run into her "other half" Tommy had to admit that she wasn't really worried about finding said mystery person. After all, she did seem to have everything that she could ever ask for: lovely foster parents, a close-knit band of sisters, and the best girlfriend that she could possibly have.

This mentality explained why she was hesitant to accept the invitation that she'd received in the mail. What if she actually were to meet her other half, and this person turned out to be everything she never knew she needed? What if this person turned out to be someone who would try to replace the people she already had in her life, her girlfriend especially? Tommy was scared out of her mind. But it was her sister who eventually convinced her that this was simply an adventure that she could not pass up.

Palm Beach Royals: Senior Year

_{Location: The Salvador Residence
Interacting with: Bea Endive}

Ever since he'd stepped foot into the Salvador residence, Carter Newton had practically been bombarded by multiple of his loyal customers that were in desperate need of a blunt — or three. Oh how bold he thought them all to be, correctly assuming that he'd be carrying a few pre-rolled joints on him, ready to be sold to those who found him before they were all gone. It wasn't long before all that was left of Carter's stash was one measly blunt. This one, he'd decided after his last deal, would be kept for himself. He was at a party, after all, and figured that he should indulge in the roughly two-hour-long, mind-numbing high that came with smoking one of his favorite sativa strains. So as soon as he'd drained the contents of his red solo cup, Carter tossed it into the nearby trash can before digging around in his jacket pocket. He didn't stop doing this until his fingers had finally wrapped around what he'd been searching for: a beautifully rolled, honey berry flavored Backwoods.

Carter didn't really care to think much about whether or not Kavi would appreciate him smoking in his house. No, he was too focused on going through the familiar motions of lighting and inhaling. And exhaling. And inhaling again.

It didn't take long for him to start feeling the effects of the cannabis edging in; Carter closed his eyes and leaned the back of his head against the wall as the comforting feeling spread throughout his entire body. It soon felt as though he were all alone in the large house; he'd tuned out the music that blared through the speakers and vibrated the entire floor, and had gone several minutes without saying much of anything to the young lady who stood next to him. It was only after the music paused and an unfamiliar voice began to pierce through the air that he returned back to reality. "You are the father of the child I am carrying, in case you forgot!" The voice said, causing Carter's eyes to shoot wide open. None other than April Foster stood at the DJ booth with the microphone gripped tightly in her hand. "Yes! I am pregnant bitches!"

The room was dead silent for what felt like forever, and to be quite honest, Carter had no idea what to do or say. Instead, he simply did as the rest of the crowd and stared up at the pregnant girl with a blank expression until the music finally resumed. "Well..." Carter spoke aloud for the first time in a while, "That's a bit shocking, isn't it? I mean, I guess we all sort of figured that Santiago was bound to knock someone up at some point — I'm just surprised that it turned out to be April." After saying this, Carter took another few hits from his blunt, only pausing when he caught a glimpse of Bea's facial expression.

"My bad, though. I'm being hella rude." Carter said as he exhaled a puff of smoke and held out the blunt in Bea's direction.

"You smoke?"
