I decided to start the roleplay since we already have six characters, which I'm surprised at. Anyway! If you want to join it's not too late. We still need some more people. This is going to be a bit more on the "mature" side I guess you could say. If you can't handle it then you should probably find another roleplay. I don't mean to offend anyone when I say that though. Here is the link to the OOC thread if you want to apply:http://www.roleplaygateway.com/canterbury-academy-t25331.html


Andrea took a deep breath as she stepped onto the fairly crowded campus. It was the first day of a brand new school year and it was also her first year was a student at Canterbury High. She had been at the campus for almost over a week though. Her father was the new headmaster so that was the only reason why. She was glad that she was able to go onto the Campus early since it gave her a chance to know her way around. She didn't want to be walking around aimlessly and trying to find out where all her classes were. She had all of her things unpacked in her dorm so she was pretty much settled. She was supposed to be helping the incoming freshmen that day. She had no idea how she was supposed to be helping them since she was new herself. Plus she was sure that everyone knew who she was since her father had just become headmaster. His picture, along with hers, had been featured in many newspapers.

She fiddled with her camera that was slung around her neck. She brushed some of her hair away from her face as a group of girls passed her. All of them giving her strange looks. She rolled her eyes a little, knowing that was going to be happening a lot. She was dressed fairly simple that day compared to everyone else she had seen. Unlike most people she didn't flaunt her wealth. She was wearing a simple black short sleeve top with below the shoulder sleeves. A pair of faded skinny jeans that were being held up by a studded belt. Her feet were decorated by a pair of classic chuck taylors. She didn't see the point in buying a ton of designer clothes just because they were what was "in" those days. She knew that the next year no one would be wearing it and then she would have had to buy a brand new wardrobe.

She turned her camera on and took the lense cap off. She adjusted some of the settings as she walked around. She was trying her best not to bump into anyone. She eventually got the settings how she wanted them and held her camera up to her face. Not realizing that someone was standing directly in front of her shot.

Nate stepped out of the taxi cab that was taking him from the airport to the boarding school. It had been a very interesting summer, filled with a lot of hook-ups and flings. Now, he could focus on conquering where he knew best. Canterbury was his territory, and there was no way he was going to let anyone take his rightful place as king. It helped that he was Student Body President, meaning that he did officially have a position of power. He used that to his advantage, and he loved the many perks that came with being rich.

Nate dragged his luggage along the path leading up to the school. He could already see the main building, and he had even spotted a few of his friends. Of course, he had made plans to hang out with them later. For now, he had to get up to his room and deposit his luggage there. Then, he would be able to go wherever he wanted, and the fun would ensue.

Nate was too busy nodding his head at so many people - he was quite the popular guy - that he didn't notice a girl walking around aimlessly with a camera. She had been snapping photos of her surroundings, and she just happened to walk right in front of him. He turned around and saw that he was right in her shot. He looked down at the girl and raised an eyebrow. He'd never seen her before. She was new and really pretty, perfect for the first conquest of the year. "Whoa, watch out."

Johnny climbed out of his 1968 mustang fastback. It certainly wasn't anything impressive. He'd bought it off a used car lot for thirteen hundred on his seventeenth birthday. He and his dad were currently working to remodel it. While the engine ran just fine, there were still several rust spots on the outside. It looked rather out of palce next to the lexus convertables and the black BMW's that most people on campus drove. But Johnny couldn't bring himself to care in the least.

He slung his bag over his shoulder and headed down the main hall of the school smiling brightly to everyone who he managed to make eye contact with. He, like his car, were definately not the 'pure blood' type that frequented the schools. While everyone was in their designed jeans and accesorized outfits, Johnny was wearing a simple pair of faded and worn jeans [the ones that were actually worn, not the store bought kind] a pair of plane black sneakers, and a gray button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He stopped by his locker and stuffed his bag inside before removing his camera. First period journalism!

Andrea stumbled back slightly when she realized that she was about to take a picture of some guy. She raised an eye brow as she pulled the camera from her face. She let it fall back towards her stomach. Thankful for the neck strap that kept it in place. She wasn't a huge fan of carrying things around. She noticed how people seemed to be staring at him like he was some sort of god or something. It was kind of creeping her out a little. She chose not to say that out loud though," Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." Which, she hadn't been, and she felt kind of stupid for not doing that. Otherwise she probably wouldn't be in the situation that she was in.

She glanced around when her eyes landed on a 1968 mustang fastback. She was surprised to see a car like that in the parking lot. She figured that there might be one other person that was normal. She smiled at that thought. She glanced around, seeing her father walking towards her. He was smiling as he walked over to her," Andy!" She cursed slightly as she felt him wrap his arm around her shoulder and kiss her forehead," Hey dad." He smiled as he looked towards the boy who she had bumped into," Your name is Nathaniel isn't it?" Andrea wished that she could just disappear," Um, dad, no offense, but that journalism class is starting so I should probably get going."

Her dad nodded and looked towards the boy whose name was apparently Nathaniel," Would you mind walking my daughter to the journalism class? She still needs to get to know the campus." Andrea's face flushed at this, getting even more annoyed," Um, dad, I've been here for a week, I know my way around I-" He shushed her and waited for the younger boy to answer.

Shasha walked out of the registration office with all her flute and cello. So my luggage has been brought to my room already, only wish they brought me along too. She thought to herself as she wondered around aimlessly looking for her dorm room. Well this is a huge school i hope mother luck is on my side to day. I might need more then luck to get me through this school. She thought then reached into her pocket for her I-pod. Well this will help pass the time.... oh no i don't have any battery time left. Well this sucks i'm lost, alone and have no music to past the time. Shasha then hung her head and continued to walk.

((sorry about the first post i'm still getting use to this site and pressed the wrong button))

Nate started to dust himself off, even if he hadn't fallen to the ground. He had a thing for hygiene, and some people even thought that he had an obsessive-compulsive disorder. It was sort of ironic because he slept around with so many girls. Some people teased him and said that he would get a sexually transmitted disease. He merely shushed them and made sure that he was protected at all times. That was probably why he hadn't gotten any of the girls pregnant yet. He knew their parents would freak out and then kill him. It wouldn't be a pretty sight.

Nate saw the Headmaster walking towards them and wondered what he wanted. He had to stop his jaw from dropping when he heard that this clumsy girl was his daughter. He would have to be more careful then. He didn't want to get kicked out of school once again, so he decided to play nice for now and do as the man told him. "Of course, Headmaster," he answered politely with a curt nod.

Nate turned back to the girl. "Come on. Let's go." He started heading towards the journalism class. He didn't have it, but he definitely knew his way around the school. He had snuck out and done too many bad things to not know.

Andrea instantly noticed the change in attitude once he found out who her father was. That was exactly what she didn't want to happen. But she knew that it was bound to. She waved to her father before following him, hating that this was happening to her. She really felt stupid for having some boy that she had bumped into leading her to a classroom that she already knew where it was. But apparently her dad thought she was stupid or something. She shook her head in disbelief as they entered the building.

Once she was sure that her dad wasn't watching them she stopped walking. She turned towards the boy that had "helped" her," Um, no offense, but you don't have to help me, I know my way around." She looked around for a few seconds then back at him," So you can go about your business and stop playing nice because I'm the headmaster's daughter." She faked a smile at him before starting to walk down the hallway. She eventually reached the journalism classroom and stepped inside. She noticed that it had already started and groaned.

"Um, I'm sorry I'm late, I'm Andrea Thorton," she said as she stepped inside. She glanced around as the teacher welcomed her to the class. She noticed a rather normal looking guy sitting there with a camera. He wasn't dressed in designer clothing and she smiled slightly. Glad that she wasn't the only one.

Nate was taken aback by how this new girl was talking to him. Who did she think she was? Well, of course, she was the Headmaster's daughter, but that didn't mean that she could just show up here to his school and try to take over. She wasn't all that, not yet anyways. She had to prove herself to everybody if she wanted to stay atop the food chain. High school was vicious, and boarding school was ruthless. Bitches lurked the hallways, and assholes strutted the corridors. She had to be warned, or perhaps Nate would let her find that out on her own.

Nate watched as the girl, apparently named Andy, walked into her classroom. He scoffed as he turned around and walked away. He didn't really want to go to class, but he still trodded down the hallway, not really wanting to talk to anyone at the moment. He was too busy thinking about that new girl. She seemed downright annoying but fascinating nonetheless. Perhaps he could go make friends with her.

Brie stepped carefully out of the family car, relived to have finally arrived at her destination. While she was glad that her father was letting her take the car for the year now that she was sixteen, driving wasn't her favorite pastime. She nervously smoothed the front of her lightweight blue cotton summer skirt, trying to remove wrinkles that only existed in her mind. It didn't matter that this was her third year at this school, she would probably always be a little anxious about seeing people again after a summer spent mostly with her family. She picked up her sketchbook and pencil case from the passenger seat of the car before shutting and locking the door, then headed towards the school.

Heading towards the building where she knew her first period art class would be located, Brie wished she had time to take a detour through her dorm. She knew all of her things had been delivered already, except for the 'just-in-case' bag in the trunk of her car, but it would have been nice to see the place where she was going to be living. An that was without even mentioning the unpacking she would have to do, since her mother had no doubt gone through and added more stuff to what she had already packed. She didn't have time, though, as she arrived at her classroom with only a few minutes to spare.

Not being the sort of person who waits around in an empty classroom for everyone else to get there, Brie flipped her sketchbook open to a blank page and pulled a sharp pencil out of her case. With a few quick strokes, the outline of a face began to develop. So far, it didn't look like anyone in particular, because Brie preferred to draw things that she could see. Whoever was sitting near her in class would probably end up being just another page in her book.

"Yeah dad, I get it," Caleb grumbled, slumping in his seat as he glared out of the passenger window.

"Screw this up, Caleb, and I swear-"

"I know, I know," he sighed, sitting up now as he reached for the handle. "Listen, I'm gonna be late. So can we wrap this up?"

The lids of his father's eyes narrowed. "Just don't get expelled again," he said in a slow, almost menacing tone.

Caleb actually smiled. "Me? Expelled?" he scoffed, as if offended. "Not likely." And with that, Caleb swiftly exited the fancy automobile. He wasn’t allowed to take his own car to the school, his listen being recently taken away for “reckless driving.” Whatever that was about. But his father’s car seemed to do just fine. Not only did it come with a lecture, but a fine price tag with too many zeros for Caleb’s taste. But that was his father. His family. Where there was money, their name was involved. His name. And what a proud and proper one it was! Not that Caleb cared much about that.

Caleb didn’t bother looking for his dorm just yet. There was time for that. He decided to go ahead and scout out the campus, see what there was to offer. He had never been to Canterbury, so this was all new to him. He wasn’t even sure where his first class was or what it was for that matter, though all it took was a quick glance of the sheet of paper he was mailed over the summer, residing conveniently in his back pocket.. His schedule was all there. But again, such things could wait.

As he strolled through the halls, he smiled and nodded towards a couple girls who also grinned in his direction. Yeah, he’d like it just fine here. But then something stopped him. As he passed by, he caught a glimpse through a door someone was currently making their way through, entering a nearly empty classroom. And just in his line of sight was a pretty girl, a pencil held to what looked like a sketchpad. Grinning a bit, Caleb ran one hand carelessly through his brown hair and casually walked into the room of interest, slipping one hand in his jeans pocket. He took a seat beside her as if art was one of his courses (which it most certainly was not) and glanced towards the pad, smiling a bit.

“Whatcha drawing?” he asked simply, looking up to her eyes now as he waited for an answer, his smile turning innocent with interest.

Brie almost didn't notice when someone else wandered into her line of sight. It wasn't until his shadow fell across her sketchbook that her mind registered that she wasn't alone anymore. She looked up, blinking a few times to adjust her contacts after so much time staring at her work. She didn't recognize the guy who had taken the seat next to her, and now that she was on her third year at Canterbury, she knew she could recognize all the art students on sight.

So. Either he's a new freshman, or a transfer, then. Unless...are we doing figure drawing today and nobody told me? I guess he could be the model. Brie immediately dismissed that idea. They had done figure drawing before, and the models had always been female. Just one of the many drawbacks to having an old, male teacher. Looking at her new company again, she ruled out freshman too. He didn't look like he was younger than she was, and being an artist she had faith in her ability to judge someone's age.

Brie completely ignored the boy's question about what she was drawing. If he was in an art class, surely he had to be able to recognize a face when he saw one. Instead, when she finally spoke, it was to ask "Transfer, no?" She still spoke with a hint of a Spanish accent despite her best efforts to lose it in the years since her family moved to the States.

Well screw this. Shasha thought as she found a music room. I will go to the music room thats my first class anyways and then when i meet ptople i will follow them to the dorms. It is a great plan!

Shasha entered the music room She found she was the only one in there. She put her cello to the side of ther room and brought her flute to a chair in the front right row. Then she took her flute out of it's case. It was made out of Pristine silver with a 14k gold lip and riser. It was made for her by Pearl who had sponsored her throughout her life in many compation around the world. This flute had won her many prizes in many diffrent countries and was the only thing that had been with her all her life. It was one of her best friends and helped her through bad times. Shasha brought her flute to her mouth and started to play songs she had memorized thought her life.

Johnny looked up from the screen of his camera when he heard the door open. Class had already been going for about ten minutes when the new girl entered. For a moment a twinge of panic crossed her face as she realized she was late, but it was quickly replaced with annoyance. He grinned knowing exactly how she felt. She took a seat at the desk near him as the teacher continued to lecture about the wonders of journalism.

"You must be new," he said leaning over to whisper. "I'm Johnny, and don't worry about being late, Mr. Erickson is cool."

Ikki had gotten up a little late that day. "Great now I'm going to be late". Ikki sighed as she got out of the bed. Stretching slightly she went to go pick out an outfit for today. "Ah screw it I'm pretty sure I got cosplay that's already clean and ready to go". Going over to her other closet...yes she had a closet just for her cosplay outfits. "Suzumiya Haruhi, or Air gear...the first one...don't want people to think I'm to weird". She laughed at her comment...like she wasn't weird enough already. Putting on the outfit she grabbed her bag and was out the door.

Her first class was music, she only took the class because her dad made her. Even so she really kinda liked it, although photography, which was her next class, was her favorite. Walking in she saw a new girl. She decided that maybe she'd make a new friend...and she knew the flute. Walking over to her she tapped her lightly on the shoulder. "Nice music".

Caleb immediately took notice to the girl's accent, and his smile unwillingly went a bit wider. It was rather enticing. She was very pretty with a somewhat foreign look to her. Caleb was anything but foreign. He was born and raised in America and had only left the country three times when he was younger, his parents not wanting to leave their only son home alone while they were out for Dr. Hartford’s career. One of the 'benifits' to his father being a well known doctor. He was constantly being called out from the city to operate. And Caleb, being his only son, was occasionally being dragged along.

The girl didn't seem to concern herself with his question, but instead asked if he was a transfer. He laughed a bit, his blue eyes gazing at her curiously. "That obvious, huh?" he asked, still grinning "I'm Caleb by the way."

"Gabriella. But I go by Brie." She carefully altered the shape of the face she was drawing, making it more masculine. As long as she had someone sitting right in front of her, she was going to take the opportunity to draw. She scrutinized Caleb through lowered eyelashes, her pencil darting quickly across the paper. Before long, she had altered the details that she already had drawn, and was starting to fill in the shading of his eyes. It didn't occur to her that it might be considered strange to start drawing a guy she had just met. As she sketched, she responded to his other question.

"I hadn't seen you here before. It was a guess." Brie shrugged, then wrinkled her nose in disgust when the motion caused her pencil to drag lightly across her sketch while she wasn't paying attention. Grumbling under her breath, she began to erase the line, trying to avoid ruining the work she had already done. Normally she wouldn't have tried to sketch while she was talking to someone, but she didn't trust herself to remember the details for her sketch if she waited until after class to get them down. Glancing up for a moment, she noticed Caleb's smile, and found herself returning it with one of her own.
