@Oliver Sounds good! I'm going to make a post now, give me a few, there's enough people interacting with Andreas to warrant it, haha.

Tae Min and Andreas can know each other, he's a bit reclusive so I can't promise a great friend but he'd be a friendly face, not one to leave people out kind of thing.

| Andreas |

Andreas checked his phone under the desk, keeping it as covert as possible - the last thing he needed today was to have that taken off him as well. No pings, messages, nothing. 'Come on.' He thought to himself sliding the phone back into his jeans, it didn't take long for his attention to be lost on the window again. Truth be told, Andreas' mind had been so steadfast on taking no heed of his surroundings he hadn't noticed Sarah's late arrival, nor her previous absence.

He moved slightly, squirming as something small dug into his ribs, it wasn't the force rather just the unexpectedness that caught him off guard. Taking a moment to collect himself, Andreas slowly turned in his seat, arm lurching over the back a scowl spread across his face. The scowl quickly turned into a blank expression, reminiscent of his brain at that moment in time. That grin that she always called goofy, it wasn't easy to forget - not that he'd be able to forget one of if not his oldest acquaintance and certainly one of his only friends.

“No fading into space this early in the morning.” She chimed, the usual antics living up to her usual rhetoric.

"Hey." Andreas started, a thin smile pulled at the corners of his lips - it was impossible for him to keep a straight face around Sarah. "Where were you?" He teased, his attention jumping to the clock for a moment before back to his friend, almost no time had passed at all since the beginning of school. He wondered if this day was ever going to end, that was the problem with waiting on something (especially replies); time always seemed to pass much slower when you needed it to hurry along. Andreas shook his head, almost subconsciously, "Boy, is it good to see you." He whispered and that was it, the smile that had been tugging surfaced, thin lips parting slightly revealing some of his teeth. He'd always felt he had an awkward smile but perhaps it was the thought of it being awkward that lead to it being so, he guessed. Thoughts working their ways into actions and things like that. His eyes flicked to Roxy who Sarah was sitting beside, the smile subsided as he remembered himself and those self-demeaning thoughts played on his brain like a pianist - an expert one too.

"I didn't see you over the summer..." Andreas paused and with a shrug piped up, "Andreas the Hermit." He added, raising both eyebrows in a joking manner.

I think @LetsFly has gone AWOL, I'm going to post tomorrow for this, sorry to leave you waiting @Doc Doctor

@LostDestiny @A Tattooed Girl @KaijuBaragon @Midnight Howl
So, did a thing. Let me know if I took any liberties or any corrections you'd like me to make. Just a running idea. [:

|| Maria Costello ||

"Shine on you crazy diamond."
Andreas has known the twins since they were younger, before whatever happened went down and they were orphaned only to be adopted. He doesn't know too much about their parent's past - Kaatje does, his father was a friend of their biological father and so for two years they kids all got along. That's what kids do, right? When they were kids, Andreas and Marco got along well, if things hadn't gone the way they did it was a friendship that probably could have stood the test of time. Nowadays he doesn't really socialize at all, with Marco - instead he gets along well with Maria although the two don't hang around much he's fond of her, in a friendly sense.

---

|| Davina Devereaux ||

"Dever- French or something?"
Andreas only got to know Davina when they started secondary school. He doesn't know much about her and never went out of his way to find out but she was always friendly to him - he appreciates the sentiment. He'd heard through the grapevine and by grapevine he meant prying online about her 'situation' with the ex. That kind of thing got under his skin, maybe driven by his own relationship shortcomings. Perhaps there was something he could do, while remaining anonymous that would mess with this guy. I mean - because she was friendly to him. That's it.

---

|| Colton Wade Kruger ||

"Jackass."
Do you ever meet those people who for some reason just don't sit with you right? Get all up under your skin? And just seeing them can dampen your spirits? The guy wasn't really a bully, Andreas couldn't put his finger on it. Maybe it was that sense of entitlement that came with kids like Kruger, maybe he was imagining it. One thing's sure, as quiet as Andreas may be he was absolutely positive he'd make bits of Colton if it came to a 1x1 match in soccer.

---

|| Quinten Rumancek ||

"Kings never die."
Quinten was a cool guy. Suave and a bit of a ladies man, at least from Andreas' perspective. They were always friendly with each other but never really had a reason to hang out. Maybe this year would be different, if Andreas could overcome a sort of social anxiety befitting to dealing with someone out of your part of the status quo. Somebody Andreas would like to get to know better, just not too well.

---

|| Bruno Žurančić ||

"I mean, being popular is cool, I guess"
Andreas has only ever really interacted with Bruno outside of school, a fellow immigrant and seemingly an alright guy. The two played soccer together sometimes. Andreas enjoyed the challenge and camaraderie despite that they haven't spent that much time together.

---

|| Sarah Wilkerson ||

"Humans. Rats have bigger hearts, roaches have kinder souls. None kinder than you."
Sarah was another one of those friendships whose foundations had been laid during childhood. Andreas met Sarah not long after he moved here, similar to Maria and Marco. There was a different level of 'friendship' especially for someone like Andreas. He had confided things in Sarah and her in him. She knows him better than anyone, maybe even better than he knows himself. Her move didn't sour anything, the two still get along. Andreas wishes he had more time for people like Sarah.

@A Tattooed Girl Sounds good, I cranked out a post there just to get the ball rolling, didn't include anyone outside of person sitting next to and Maria because of an interaction. Everything sounds fine with Colton/Andreas though, looking forward to it.

09/09 - 0530h - Home

---

Andreas twisted his key in the front door, opening it slowly careful not to make too much noise - he didn't want to wake anyone up after all. A gentle sobbing resounded from the living room, he let out a heavy sigh as he closed the door, the crying ceased, followed up by a number of sniffles. His mother was obviously trying to get herself under control. It wasn't like he hadn't seen her cry before, it didn't mean he liked it though. As he passed by the stairway, Andreas shot a glare up into the hallway, intended for his dad - no doubt sleeping off a hangover. "What's wrong?" He asked, entering the room, dropping his rucksack by the door and closing the distance. His mother, Kaatje was sat on the couch in front of the television, her face was running - she wasn't hiding anything.

"Oh-" She started up, feigning shock, "Andreas, I didn't hear you come in." She uttered, meekly - lies.

"Mum." It was evident from his tone of voice that he didn't want to be treated like a baby, his parents didn't know it but he was making his own money, saving up for a college education and a quality of life; something neither of his parents really ever had. Andreas truly appreciated his parents, even his dad it wasn't like the man didn't try but he let the bottle consume him. "What's wrong?" He repeated, more stern sounding than before. Kaatje looked up at her son from the couch and struggled the hold back the crying again, she brought a cupped hand to her mouth, a cry escaping her throat as she shook her head, unable to muster the words and handed Andreas the letter she'd been holding with an iron grip in her hand. The paper was blotted with tears and he was sure there was a smear of mascara along the bottom of the paper too. "What's this?" He asked. Andreas knew the answer, he didn't even know why he'd asked the question. It was that big scary word right on the header that gave it away - foreclosure.

"Look!" His mother raised her voice, Andreas took a step back before she resolved to holding her head in her hands again, speaking in native tongue; a lot of effing and blinding.

"This is bullsh-"

"They know about my cut in pay, and your father's welfare cut." Andreas frowned when his mother brought it up, she was a hard worker and his dad despite his own faults tried to be a hard worker. That is, if someone would give him the opportunity. "They're going to take the house." As Kaatje finished the sentence she found herself able to hold back waterworks this time in front of Andreas. "Where have you been?" She voiced, her own tone now changing more brash, more normal.

"Where's dad?" Andreas interrupted her.

"Asleep, bu-" She was cut off as Andreas flew out of the room, returning a moment later with his hands in his hoodie pockets. He said nothing, knelt in front of her as she still sat on the couch, staring blankly at the wording of the letter from the bank. From his pocket he pulled a small roll of cash, "Andreas... What is this...?" Kaatje asked, her voice soft but soon becoming ferocious, "Did you steal this!? Where did you get this money!? I-"

"No!" He stopped her - lies. "I've been saving up; for college." Andreas began, shrugging, pushing the money into his mother's hands, "Just it'll help, right?" They say a mother always knows when her son is lying, but circumstances called for her not to question Andreas, not this time. She nodded.

"Yes."

0630h - Bus Journey

---

Eight-thousand US Dollars, it had taken years to save up that kind of money, and now it was all gone in an instant. He'd had a deposit for a good school in a couple of years after his final exams. He had the money to get himself a car, freedom; instead of being stuck on the bus like he was now. "Fuck." He uttered from behind his hood, getting the disapproving attention of an elderly couple who sat in front of him. Andreas hated this, he hated their position, he hated how unfair everything seemed, he hated the hospital, the welfare and he especially hated the bank.

The bus ride to school was mostly comprised of scheming. Andreas needed to make that money back and he didn't have years, he'd have to make it quicker. Then, he remembered something. Whipping out his phone he set up a VPN and a few other precautionary measures before entering a forum he'd visited in the past. A hacker group, some of those here had taught him a lot, they had an access heriarchy of which Andreas had been granted low-level access, he sent a quick message to someone he'd known before, a user by the name of 'Lulzor'.

Rabb-it says:
Are you safe?

Andreas stared, waiting for an answer, nothing - it was probably still way too early, he didn't even know this person's timezone. He sighed, slipping the phone back into his pocket as the bus pulled up at his stop.

0715h - Class

---

Andreas took his seat next to Roxy Mitchell, he didn't know her too well in fact Andreas didn't know most people too well. His main circle was online and even then other than tags and avatars - he began to think whether he really knew anybody. The thought didn't dwell long, he was stuck on the morning's event, it was obvious he was sour about something. The guy was good at hiding his emotions and feigning others, eight thousand dollars was apparently the price of his poker face.

He smiled back faintly at Maria, he almost hadn't caught it and just scowled - his head really wasn't straight this morning. He raised his hand slightly, gesturing a wave, fingers slightly splayed before his attention drifted to the window, or more importantly what was outside. All that was on his mind now was money and getting back to his laptop. At least it was Friday.

@LostDestiny Sounds good, I'll write a little summink up in a relationship sheet and run it by you - that cool? We can talk it out in PM either.

@A Tattooed Girl Makes sense. Andreas plays soccer, I didn't have him down as on a team because it wouldn't fit with the character personality wise or into his schedule. Maybe he knows Colton from outside school? Could leave a slight sour taste in the mouth - maybe he acted the asshole when Andreas was just trying to get some practice in, keeping fit on an astro turf somewhere or something? Let me know what you think and I can write up a relationship sheet. I'm going to take a look at Davina and Quinten now.

Thanks guys. [:

Delbrook Academy High School

So, does anybody want to work out some previous relations with Andreas? Even with his reserved personality it would be weird if he didn't have anything to say about anyone in the character sheet. He's been at the school since the beginning at least.

Open to ideas and thoughts ^^

Delbrook Academy High School

@A Tattooed Girl Thanks!

I'm going to work on an IC post now and just kind of worm my way into an interaction somewhere aha. I can edit after if it's not to liking.

EDIT: Just saw you're working on a time-skip, my b.
