Hehe! Maybe pressure was the wrong word... Advances? I don't know english is my second language! I'm thinking that he is used to girls just going along with whatever he wants, which has instilled some kind of confidence in him. Like he thinks that he basically can do what ever and girls still would fall for him. Which is what has been happening, but I am also guessing that Eliza would not go along with whatever, and she probably gives him some sort of ultimatum and that intrigues Max because he wants change and he wants to know if that can happen!

Sorry for being like... confusing!

Eliza is absolutely confident enough to approach him on her own - but you know how it is with dating, the girl will sort of indicate she wants to start something, and it'll be up to him to really take initiative. I don't think Eliza is a sex-on-the-first-date kind of person. Or third date. That isn't what she's looking for.

Yeah that's what I mean, Max just needs to know that she's intrested and then he will "court" her hehe. I thinkt that's what he needs to experiance someone who likes him but doesn't break under hiss "pressure".... if it makes sense? Do I make sense? I feel a bit delirious xD

Well, she does like his accent. Anything's possible. Got an idea of how it'd happen?

Eeehm, not really. But since Eliza is BFF's with Acacia who is the student council president and Max is on the student council, it would probably mean that they have at least spent some time together. I'm guessing from Elizas RS that she at least thinks he is somewhat attractive, max would obviously think that Eliza is hot. But he wouldn't make the first move since he isn't really the type to pounce and it is kind of hard to get through his icy exterior so Eliza would have to melt that first which I don't think would be to hard for her. When/if Eliza does this Max would probably try to get her in bed and then it's up to you how you want to play it. But since Max is essentially bored with how he lives his life he would be looking for some change!

Obvs! I think Eliza ought to have a boyfriend, also. I don't know who would work for that if that one guy's not playing anymore.

She could be the one who changes Max for the better? If you want to! I'm bored and can't sleep so I'm going to work on some character development worksheets!

Sitting up straighter in his bed as he read the last few lines of Killer by Jonathan Kellerman, Max closed the book and threw it back on to his nightstand. He shrugged and stretched his arms up in to the air as he wondered why that book belonged on the New York Times bestseller list. He ran his hands through his hair a couple of times before he decided to jump out of bed and get dressed. Is wearing a tie when arriving to private school a bit to pretentious? Max thought as he stood looking at his reflection. He decided to keep it on just to please his father one last time before he left. Before he headed downstairs he checked his twitter feed on his phone and smiled as he read the small night tweet from Wren. He typed a tweet to reply to her.

Max Wallenberg @wallenburger
@wrenegade you should try Twilight it’s pretty HORRible #punny

At the Wallenberg breakfast table there wasn’t much talking going on at all, there was just more of an awkward tense feeling hovering in the air, which is not how a family breakfast should be. The reason for this is that the Wallenberg children to be completely honest scared of their father Peter. For good reason too, Peter Wallenberg was almost as wide as he was tall and he just commanded a room when he walked in to it. Growing up with him as his father had left some deep scars for all the siblings, Max had tried to remedy this now that he is older; he cleared his throat as he stared at the back of the newspaper that his father always had in front of him at the breakfast table. “If you have something to say, spit it out Max.” His father grunted, “Well since I’m leaving today, someone has to take Elin to her dance recital and mother can’t drive, maybe it would be nice if you could take her?”

Max turned towards his younger sister to see her almost choking on her waffles wide eyed, he winked at her. His father folded his newspaper and stared at Max from behind his thin rimmed glasses. “Max, you know very well that I do not have time for something as trivial as some dance recital. When she graduate as an honor student then we’ll talk.” He flicked the newspaper up and disappeared behind it again. Max wanted to retort but seeing his sister hang her head and poking at her plate made him bite his tongue, he gave her an apologetic look and she shook her head. Max scoffed and stood up and started to say good bye to his siblings and his mother, before he left he turned to the newspaper and said “You know I’m graduating this year right? You can swing by if you want to!”

He grabbed his bag that was lying at his feet and started to walk out, his mother yelled after him “Max nu håller du dig I skinnet!” Max smiled sheepishly as he walked out of the huge house. The navy blue truck had been packed the night before so that the trip would go as fast as possible; Max jumped in and started the four hour ride towards Caelbury.

The drive went by relatively fast, but Max was really glad that he finally got to drive up and park at his parking spot right in front of the main building. Getting the keys and all the information he needed was a mild annoyance since it was full of freshmen trying to show that they belonged by being here early. When he finally got his room key and the folder with all the important papers Max headed over to the dorms. He unlocked the door and opened it slowly; he spotted James on the sofa and cracked a smile “Hey! McNamara, didn’t we hit the jackpot eh?!”

Julie sighed in relief when she saw that Wren took her outburst in a good way, she smiled at her and fixed her hair looking down at her skirt that still had some damn powdered sugar on it! Julie tried to brush the remnants of this morning’s doughnut cavalcade. She didn’t want Wren to know that she was a waitress and she also didn’t want her to mistake it for some other white powder. “Oui, il est vraiment merveilleux nouvelles! But you’ll have to work on you enunciation.” Julie chuckled “And yes I’ll bet we’ll have a really great time!”

Noticing a slight pause in the conversation Julie turned around to see what had caught Wren’s attention and saw him James McNamara, she rolled her eyes when she saw the way he walked with his guitar slung nonchalantly over his shoulder, and was he wearing thick rimmed glasses? They probably don’t even have any strength in them Julie thought and scoffed as she turned back to Wren.

“Oh, yes well I’ve been here for a couple of days already… I had to… uhm register for extra courses!” Julie lied as Wren grabbed her by the arm and proceeded up the stairs to the girl’s wing. As the girls walked through the hall they chit chatted about their summer “Well my summer was pretty good, me and my dad were going to go to Italy. But it fell through because dad couldn’t really afford… to take time off.” She felt herself getting flustered, for some reason she still felt ashamed of her father’s economic status. Deep down she knew that she shouldn’t care what people thought but being back here made her feel lesser already, add on to that her roommate who came from money that Julie had never ever even seen. She cleared her throat hoping that Wren didn’t notice her bad save.

Julie laughed as Wren apologized about being too excited “Don’t worry about it! This place always evokes feelings in me that I can’t keep in either!” Julie enthused as she put the key in to the door, when the door opened it revealed what looked like a small penthouse. “Well I guess you’re used to this by now, it’s the standard CA dorm. And I hope you don’t mind but I picked that room” She said and pointed towards the room located on the left side of their apartment. “Anyway the apartment has been inspected by Acacia so everything should be in order!” Julie said and sat down on the big white sofa. “Maybe we can go walk around the courtyard when you’ve gotten unpacked, get to know each other you know?”

When Wren got back from unpacking Julie stood up and opened the door “Did you want to come for a walk?” she smiled at her new roommate and stepped out, then she heard a familiar deep accented voice. Julie turned around and saw the big bear of a boy she knew as Vlademir Kalkovich, she lit up and grinned “Vlad! Как ты был?!” Julie had to stand on her tippy toes to reach up to him as she hugged him.

OK, I've finished the meat of Eliza's bio. I'll do character relationships now.I'd love to add more friendships/enmities/other relationships for Eliza (including romantic, if there is a character that would make sense for), so if you are up for something specific, let me know! So far, she's only got the close friendship with Acacia.Otherwise, I'll just describe how she feels in general.

I guess since she is in the Inteenational Committee she would know Julie pretty well. I don't know what she would think of her though :)

I just posted for Julie! I'll do Max tomorrow when I'm not half alseep! :D

Caelbury Academy

Julie shivered as she walked down the street towards the coffee shop she worked at “The Mug” which was located a couple of blocks away from campus, it was the perfect place for her to earn some extra cash because it was mostly visited by business men and people trying to write their own screenplays. Most of the Caelbury students obviously prefer the Starbucks closer to campus then this stuffy little place. Julie loved it though, she thought it had charm and they let her study during the slower hours. Julie had decided to arrive a week early to settle in and also get a few extra shifts in before school started, this morning she had to open and she was not that happy about it.

She stood in front of the door to the coffee shop for a minute to inspect the reflection that stared back at her. Puffy eyes, tousled hair and a bitter look on her face, she sighed and fished the keys up from her bag and unlocked the door and stepped inside. Julie took a deep breath and took in the most intoxicating smell she knew, coffee! That was one other advantage of working here, free coffee to feed her addiction, and also remedy her late night study hangovers, she had stayed up until 3am trying to grasp the Japanese alphabet hiragana. Julie made herself a double shot espresso and then she got to work with all the opening preparation, when the she checked her watch and saw that it was 8 she went and turned the sign at the door that indicated that they now where open. At once the regular customers started to file in in a steady stream and Julie didn’t even have time to feel tired.

The morning went by in a blur and finally the queue was gone and people started to leave. Julie started to clean up and getting ready to leave. Just as she had crouched down to put out the powdered doughnuts a guest said “Thank you…” as he left and not thinking about the tray she had in her lap Julie stood up to say thank you back resulting in her getting all the doughnuts all over her. “Oh Jules, maybe it’s time for you to end your shift.” It was Julies boss Philip peering down at her from behind the counter with a grin on his face. “Yes… yes it is Philip!” Julie said with a sigh as she stood up trying to brush the powdered sugar of her skirt. “Yeah, but thank you for opening for me, I owe you one!” Philip chuckled and walked behind the counter. “Oh Philip, you know I’d do anything for you.” Julie smiled and patted his cheek and then left for the back room to clean herself off before heading back to Caelbury.

The walk from “The Mug” to campus only takes 25 minutes and it had warmed up since this morning so the walk was pretty pleasant and put Julie in a good mood. She kept brushing her skirt to get of the last of the powdered sugar as she walked. Soon Caelbury Academy came in to view in all its glory, Julie strode over the little courtyard and went in to the main building. She waved and smile at the secretary as she passed her to get to the stairs that led up to the second floor. Where the administrating offices where and also where the teacher’s lounge was located. She had to turn in an activities list for IntCom to the student council. As she turned the corner in to the hallway that led to the teacher’s lounge and the offices she was met by the tall and looming figure of Dr. Zimmerman carrying a bowl of water. “Oh! Hello there Dr. Zimmerman.” Julie said as she passed him, she turned around and added “Say hello to Oedipus for me!” she smiled as she continued down the hallway. Where was the student council mailbox located now again? Julie wondered as she scanned the room.

To her surprise she saw that she would not need it, because there she was the president Acacia Hawthorne and Vice Principal Hawthorne. Julie smiled as she walked over still trying to brush the last of the powdered sugar of her skirt. “Hi Acacia, how was your summer?” Julie said as she came to a stop in front of them “Hello Mr. Hawthorne.” She said with a nod of her head, she never really knew how to act in front of Vice Principal Hawthorne, since he was an authority figure but still so relaxed and… young. “I have this list of IntCom activities that we need to get approved by the student council, and I thought that I could give it to you, go straight to the source you know! Eh, not that you are the entire council, but I mean… you know.”

Julie could feel herself getting flustered and started to dig around in her bag after the list. When she finally found it she handed it to Acacia and smiled nervously “Well thank you, I guess I’ll see you at the picnic later.” Before she turned around she bent her knees and curtsied, as she sped down the hall she mentally beat herself up DID YOU JUST CURTSIE?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! She yelled at herself internally all the way over to the dorm building.

As Julie entered the building she spotted Catherine Sinclair, which she knew from before but Julie also knew that they were assigned as roommates for this year. Okay Julie, do not I repeat do NOT say something stupid! She though as she walked over to the sofa “Hi Catharine, you’re my roommate!” Julie blurted not really knowing what to say which earned her another mental slap from herself.

I for one think that a plot would be really awesome!
