Introduction
This is supposed to be the part of the roleplay where I give an overview of the story line thus far, but to me... it just seems like utter bs. I understand it is fun to play along with a story and finish it up, but I think creating your own characters, your own story, your own roleplay, should be fun. I don't want to hold you back from creating the characters that you want. I'm not going to give you guys a character sheet to fill out because I really want you to create your own. I know that what I'm doing is basically give you a playground of endless possibilities, and from what I've seen, that doesn't work out. People usually want a story set up for them so they can write unoriginal BS. I'm probably making everything worse for my cause because I basically insulted all of you, and for that, I am truly sorry.
I really just came up with this idea because High school is a time when teens find out who they are. That is what Erik Erickson basically states with his studies in developmental psychology. He believe that between the ages of about 12 and 19, adolescences should be facing a moral issue between role confusion and identity. I really want this roleplay to write itself sort of to those rules. I know my idea for this was for people to basically write this themselves with nothing holding them back, but I think a great starting point is the confusion teenagers usually have in life.
There is a chance that this whole thing does work out, and that would be wonderful. I see so many roleplays, and even join a few, that only go on for about ten or twenty posts and then die. If it ends up being just me and one other person, I frankly won't care as long as it can last. I think writing is something people should do to express themselves and joining an roleplay, hopefully this one, can help you express yourself and also let this expand to as big as it can get. Now i'm just rambling and I apologize for that. So without further adieu, I present to you a roleplay that might work out... hopefully.

Jess didn't say a word as she sat down at the counter and hesitantly sipped at the foul tasting concoction. Her mom was going on about her schedule for the week, when she had photo shoots and when she had appearances to make, not that Jess was paying any attention, she just sat there with a forced smile plastered to her face, the same fake smile she always wore around her mother and everyone else she met while working.
When she finished her drink, she quickly got up from the table and headed toward the door without a word to her mother. She quickly grabbed her keys and walked out the door, getting into her car and heading to school. Once she pulled into the parking lot, she got out of her car and straightened up her skirt, before heading inside, keeping her head held high. It didn't take long for her 'friends' to swarm her, asking her questions about the photo shoot she'd done over the weekend and she did a pretty good job at faking the excitement as she recounted the events to them which they all ate up, enjoying the small look into Jessalyn's 'fabulous' life.
He stood off in the distance and watched as people crowded around the girl. Without hesitating for another second, Rudi turned and walked back the way he came, going into the school. He dreaded walking the hallways. He just waited for the day to end so he could just go home to an empty home and fall into an endless abyss of sleep.

Shiloh approached the school, always dreading it. She still hadn't made any positive connections at Pennsington. She noticed the crowd around Jess as she approached and avoided it as best she could; she didn't like Jess and Jess didn't like her. Was it jealousy? Perhaps...her mother always told her she was pretty and her accent made her even more beautiful, but she never believed any of that drivel. Clutching her books to her chest, she took a breath and walked quickly into the building. Once inside, she made her way to her locker.
It was easy to tell which was hers even if she didn't know where it was. Taped to the door of her locker were about 30 tea bags, several business cards for the local dentist and orthodontist, and a paper that said "RED COAT" in large, block letters. Shiloh's cheeks flushed as she quickly ripped the paper down. Red Coat...really? Was the humor regressing to the revolutionary war? With a heavy sigh Shiloh opened her locker, which was filled with boxes of tea bags, a tooth brush, and tooth paste, and plopped her books inside, walking over to grab a trash can from the hallway to empty the toxic jokes from inside and outside her locker. Though, she would keep the tea.

Shiloh grunted as she closed her locker, plucking the tea bags hanging from the door and throwing them in the bin next to her. She looked at the young man standing next to her, curious as to what was going on.
"Someone's idea'r of a joke, no doubt." she sighed, "haha, yes the Brits lack dental hygiene, stereotypes are hilarious."
Once her locker was clean, she turned to face Sero.
"I swear, ever since I moved here from London, it's all been bloody jabs at my accent and origin." Shiloh sighed, "Sorry, you don't need to hear me talk about my personal shite."

As the group walked down the hall she heard a few of her friends laughing and she tuned back in, trying to figure out what was so funny. She glanced over at a dark haired girl throwing tea bags and dental hygiene products out of her locker. "Was that you guys?" Jess asked quietly to her friends, who just laughed harder. A slight frown tugged on her lips, but she quickly covered it. The girl had never done anything to get on Jess's bad side so she didn't really have a problem with the girl. Sure Jess enjoyed making fun of others, but making fun of someone because of their heritage, she didn't really get it.
Working as a model she met people from all kinds of backgrounds and she found other peoples' accents to be pretty cool. "I'll catch you guys later." Jess said, quickly separating from her group of friends to head to her locker. Once she ditched the posse, she sighed quietly, feeling as if a weight has been lifted off her shoulders.
Jess quickly made her way to her locker, grabbed her books, and headed to her first period class, which happened to be Algebra II. She enjoyed this class, not for the material but because the teacher let them sit where ever they'd like. Every day, Jess sits in the back of the classroom right by the window, though she pays more attention to what's going on outside than what the teacher's talking about.
Walking in today, she frowns when she sees a mousy girl sitting in her seat. Jess walked over and set her books down in front of the girl. "You're in my seat," She said a scowl on her lips. The girl looked up at her surprised before glancing around the room seeing plenty seats still empty. "Th-There's no assigned seats." The girl replied shocked, not sure what Jess is going on about. "I know, but I sit in this seat every day. This is my seat. And you're in it." She said through gritted teeth. "B-But there's plenty of other seats, and I-I was here first!" The girl said, trying to sound tough but Jess could hear her voice wavering, hear the fear in her voice. "Get your ass out of my seat." She said, her eyes narrowing at the girl as her hands tightened on either side of the desk.
The girl's eyes widened even more, a frightened squeak escaping her lips as she quickly gathered up her things and moved to a seat across the room. "Thank you," Jess said sarcastically as she sat down in the seat, her attention immediately turning to the window.
