"Mum, I d-don't have to g-go to this t-thing you know." Tanner stuttered quietly, his voice just a whisper. Pressing his head against the car window Tanner closed his eyes. If it was up to him, he wouldn't have went to this gosh darn sweepstakes mansion thing; it was just another way of either humiliating himself in front of at least ten more kids, or hyperventilating every night alone in some dark room. Tanner would usually go to his sister's room at nights, but now that he knew no one here...well...odds were that he wouldn't be sleeping alot.

"No, you're going. We're almost there." he heard his mother's high pitched voice. Something he-luckily- hadn't gained. Tanner's voice was only slightly higher than an average boy's voice, but that was mainly because of his sexuality. Pulling up the hood of his brown, furry-hatted coat the boy grabbed his suitcase and sighed. The mansion was in clear view- it looked gorgeous, even to the scared boy sitting in the car. Maybe this won't be so bad..reassuring himself didn't seem like it did any good, but there was some hope; he heard that people were aloud to sleep in other people's rooms. He'd have to find a friend quick..before the night was over at least.

As the car came to a screeching stop, Tanner curled his fingers around the suitcase's handle and opened the door slowly. He cocked his head backwards- ready to fire off one more plead; but his mother was already shaking her head. "Go." A sympathetic smile was splayed across her features. Did she not know how nervous he got around people. With a frown Tanner stepped out of the vehicle and headed up the sidewalk. Once his mother's car was out of sight he put the suitcase down and looked around, wondering if anybody was inside yet. Tanner leaned against the porch wall, debating on going in or not.

Nicole found her room.It had lots of white and red.Like the bed sheets were red and the pillows were white.There was a desk that was wooden but it was painted white.It had a comfy looking red chair right by the desk.The carpet was white too.Then there was a rug under the bed that was red.She thought to herself lots of red and white.She smilied then walked over to the bed and sat down.It was like laying on heaven.It was extremly soft.Then she went looking for the dresser.It was carved in an unique shape that was undiscrible.So she unzipped her bag and pulled a dresser draw open.Then she started putting her cloths away.Then she found her I-pod. She smilied.She went over to the white wooden night stand.She opened the draw and put that in there with her cell phone.Then she went back to putting her Cloth's in the drawers.After 10 minutes she was done.She just layed back on her bed.Then she noticed that she left her door open.

Winter arrived at the mansion in a shuttle bus, which taxied him up the enormous hill it was on.

"I hate the heat..." He said in monotone, wincing his face as if he'd just smelled something disgusting. He pulled out his parasol and opened it up, protecting him from the harmful rays of sun.

He looked all around him whilst walking through the mansion, searching for his room. "Fancy place." he muttered to himself. He saw a sign which read " Platinum Dorms This Way --> " and followed the labyrinthine hallway down to a room full of white and red decor. He dropped his bags and paused, observing the room. "...I hate red."

He had his clothes out and folded neatly on his bed within 5 minutes, categorized by color, which consequently only left one pile of white clothes. He walked outside the mansion, parasol in hand, and looked around for a supply shed. A nervous looking boy stand on the porch caught his eye. "Hello... I didn't see you there. My name's Winter, and you are..?"

I should probably go inside.. He thought to himself, eyes now flickering from the fountain like thing in the front to the door he was standing a few feet away from. Spotting one of the lounging chairs with a table near it, Tanner walked quietly over to one of those and placed his suitcase upon to the top of the table. He should probably get his phone out and text his friends...They told them to tell them how cool it was..

Message, unable to send. "Dangit.." he murmured to himself, flipping the hood of his jacket down. It was too hot to even wear a jacket right now, but he felt ...more comfortable in it. A voice shocked him and he felt his frame jump in the chair. Quickly shoving his cell phone in his bag again, she craned his neck behind him to look at the boy. He got up quietly, although managing to scratch his knee on the side of the table with a wince, and gulped once. "I-I'm Tanner." He nodded his head slightly and looked around. "P-Pretty cool place, huh?"

A few moments later Tanner heard someone's else's voice, causing him to jump slightly again. He wished his nerves weren't so freaking jumpy today..."Hey..I'm Tanner."Nodding his head again, he grabbed his suitcase and chewed on the inside of his lip.

I edited to fit you in there too:P

Nicole was bored in her room so she found some of the sport stuff she had.She put iy on the top self of the closet.Then she found all her books and put them on her night stand.After putting her books and sport gear away.She went to go get her i-pod.She put the ear budds in her ears.Then she turned it on and looked for the song Taking over me by evanescence.It was a good song.She loved it alot.It was like her with her ex boyfriend.He moved away a year ago and she never got no text or phone call from him.She never even knew where he lived now.But she was now somewhat over him.She found the song and played it.It started out all pianoish then it turned to something like rock or metal.The lyrics rang through her ears.It almost made tears go back to her eyes.

Nicole started walking into the main lobby...well living room.There was three guys there.She looked at the one with the bass.Then she looked at the other one he looked really nervous.Then there was a guy with a parsol....she thought they never made them anymore.So she pulled one ear bud out of her ear and said "Hi im Nicole and you guys are?"

Winter greeted the new kids who had joined them on the porch. "Hi Nicole, hi Tanner, hi Xander. It is a pleasure to meet all of you. Fancy place huh? Well, if you'll please excuse me.." And with that, he stepped down the porch and onto the driveway, continuing his search for a supply shed. He found one near the pool area, and searched around high and low on the multiple shelves inside. "Ah hah." he exclaimed when he found what he was looking for. Carrying a bucket of white paint with a brush on the lid with his free hand, he gracefully made his way back into the mansion, and then back to his room. He left the door and windows open, because he loved the breeze that flowed freely through the house. He popped open the bucket of paint and got to work.

Lorri was driving alone the empty highway in 2009 VW Buggie that was black yet covred with flowers, peace signs, and many bright colors. She had the top down and could feel the cold air whipped around her blonde and brown hair. Her flowing floral dress that had a long white sleeve shirt underneath was not keeping her warm. "All you need is love! All you need is love love love. Love is all you need," Lorri sang perfectly along to the Beatles. She popped a gummy bear into her mouth as she neared the Mansion.

She drove up and parked her car to the side of the place. She walked out and realized that it was very warm here. She smiled slightly and rolled her sleeves up as she walked to the back of the car and grabbed her suitcases. She rolled one of her suitcases and carried her other duffle bag the dragged on her feet. "This is totally ginchy," she exclaimed happily as she neared the doors and walked inside.

She walked over to them, but the tripped over her duffle bag and stumbled to the floor. "Oh...um...hi," she said standing from where she had landed at the guys' feet. "What an entrance, huh?" She said giggling and steadying herself carefully.

Usually she would stay to chat but she ran to so called "check in." She saw her name on key and so she grabbed it, signed her name in a guest book, and then bounded to the elevator. She jumped up and down with excitement in the elevator and then she sprinted to room 247 as quickly as possible.

Lorri threw open the door and looked around this room. "This is totally far out! Talk about razzing berries man!" ~Translation- This is awesome! This room is really exciting!~ Lorri quickly threw open her suitcase and jammed her clothes into drawers. She threw dresses in closets and then walked into her conjoined bathroom and threw her toiletries in there. Lorri then checked her hair and then left the room slipping the key into her bra. "Look out! Lorri is on the make." ~Translation-Lorri is ready to flirt or hook-up~

As more people began to file out onto the porch, Tanner's nerves kicked in again and he chewed on the inside of his cheek.Sure, he didn't like being alone, but when he didn't know anyone that was here.. well.. that was a whole other story. The first person who'd talked to him, Winter if he was correct, stepped off the porch to do something. Tanner gulped quietly and half waved shyly to the others, watching as Winter went back into the house with a bucket of what looked like paint.

He was now left facing a couple other people, Xander standing with his hands full. "D-Do you need some help with that?" He was planning on going upstairs anyways to see what Winter was up to, and since the rooms were all on one floor it would be just as easy to help Xander with his things. He could get his later.

Nicole now knew that the others names were something...but witch one was Tanner and witch one was Xander?She watched as the other kid left.She never got to here his name.
"so what was that guys name?" She asked the two guys still standing there.Then one part of the song hit her.Like a nerve.It was going to make her cry soon but she blinked back the tears.Then song finally ended and she put on the song going under by Evanescence.She liked it .Not cause it reminded her of anything but just for enjoying.The song was playing the lyrics finally came.It always took awhile tell lyrics came on with that one band.

"This...is...amazing!" She pretty much screamed. At her house, they only had a playstation- her mother wouldn't buy her a Wii or even an x-box, making her suffer with the plane jane types of games that were for the playstation. Quickly hooking up the cords and plugging the game in, she clicked the 'power' button and a blue light came one. "Yesss." She giggled and grabbed one of the controls then plopped back on the couch to wait for the previews and such to get through so she could play the game.

While she was waiting for the game-baseball- to load she seen a hyper girl zooming up the steps. Hey, that chicks kinda like me. A small smirk appeared and she raised an eyebrow, watching the girl bounce up the stairs. She could still hear her as she made her way to the room. the noise of the game caught her attention and she quickly stood, getting into position to swing the control like a bat. "Hit me with your best shot." she said quietly, laughing afterwards and swinging as hard as she could. "


"Oh!!Ohhhh! Home runnnn bitchesss!" she yelled, doing a little victory dance and laughing loudly. She could tell she was going to have fun.

His eyes flitted back towards his own suitcase that was still standing next to one of the chairs on the porch, and then back to xander as he was waiting for an answer. Once he had gotten one- Xander requesting that he could hold the knapsack- Tanner quickly grabbed that and went to pull the door open for Xander, but a girl had already gotten it for him. He smiled gratefully and nodded slightly. "Thanks."

He was almost to the point of where his fingers were shaking from nervousness, but he wouldn't let it get that far. Having his sisters-back at home- always tease him about that stuff, he'd learned to handle some situations. Not that any of them applied here. "Hello, Lucy." his voice was just above a whisper, slightly higher than a normal boy's voice.

He walked into the door after Xander, turning his head and looking at the girl that looked like she was having way too much fun playing the Wii. A few giggles passed his lips and he looked up towards the stairs; just then catching Xander's comment. He laughed quietly. "I have no clue where anything is. I haven't e-even been up there yet."

Lorri skipped down the stairs lightly and happily. She was so hyper after eating some gummy bears in the bar. She was clutching a bag of gummy bears as she neared the living room. She popped a red one in her mouth as she heard one guy address a girl name Lucy. Then, her eyes landed on the Wii. "A Wii! Totally ginchy," she said hurrying to the girl playing the Wii.

She smiled at her, "Hi! I'm Lorren but you can call me Lor, or Lorri or LorrEEEEEEEE. You pick," she giggled popping another gummy bear in her mouth. then, her eyes wandered to the screen. "I say you,me, and Wii tennis. That is once I know you're name and if you'd like a gummy bear." She smiled at the girl who looked so....colorful. Colorful is nice. This will be wonderful. I'm digging this big time.

@Zen.
Keeran drummed on the back of the taxi driver's seat, snickering as he heard the annoyed sigh emit from the guy's lips. He loved annoying people; but just not until they were sad. Tugging down on his black and white striped shirt, he looked down at his black skinny jeans. "Perfect." He mumbled to himself, knowing this outfit was his lucky outfit. He'd won a lot of hardcore dances with this type of outfit on. Especially the two-step one. "Ughhh." He groaned, leaning back into the seat and closing his eyes. "Are we there yet?" his voice sounded slightly annoyed, and the taxi driver cleared his throat. Confusion muddled his mind and he looked out the window."Oh." He said embarrassed. The view of the mansion was amazing.

Quickly grabbing his bag and climbing out of the taxi, it sped off quickly. "Well then.."He muttered as he began walking in. There was a girl playing a wii, and he laughed loudly. She seemed like she was really into the game; and he wouldn't bother her with that. Clambering up the stairs Keeran checked the rooms, making sure no one was in the one named 'GoreScene#4' Once he was inside, he began unpacking.But the opened door of someone else's room caught his attention. Dropping his ipod on the bed, he headed out the door and peeked into the room that seemed oddly bright and white."Ello?"

Nicole followed in after them.She saw a girl over there on the wii having fun.Nicole remebered the first time she played wii.Nicole now changed the song to krypyonite by 3 doors down.It was a really good song.Nicole walked over to stand beside Lucy."Hey Lucy im Nicole,Nice to meet you" she held out her hand to Lucy.

Nicole loved her name.It was good she liked it.Cause if she didn't then her parents would be pretty sad.But she still liked the name Nicole it suited her.Then she thought about texting her ex.She tried but it would not send "Damn! guess I cant use my phone here".Nicole smilied.

Kiyanna laughed and wiggled her but slightly, bending her torso down and bringing her arms back, getting ready for the next batting section. She'd already pitched once, and her team was in the lead. "Bring it on." she threatened the screen of the tv, watching as the ball soared out to the stands. "Woooooo!" she screamed, spinning in circles once and stopping to come face to face with another girl. Wasn't that the girl that was hyper too?

"Heeeyyy!" She glanced at the tv again. "I know right?!" Her eyes widened at the gummy bears, and she nodded happily when she was offered one. "You're on. And i freaking love gummy bears." she spoke in a quick tone, very hyper. Maybe the candy bar had something to do with this..."Kiyanna, what's your name?" She extended her hand, tilting her head and looking at a blue strand of hair fall before her eyes. "Oh, and I like LorrEEEE." she giggled.

Mick drummed her fingers on the leather upholstery of the taxi's backseat. She was wearing tight black skinny jeans, with a studded belt and a Paramore t-shirt. Her knee-high black converse topped it off nicely- she even remembered to wear them with the lime green laces. Her Ipod was blasting, but she vaguely heard it as the cab slowly pulled up to the mansion, tires squealing under the pavement as it came to an abrupt stop.
Apparently, the driver had been trying to tell her something, but the music drowned out his voice.
"Oh, almost forgot.." She muttered, pressing a small wad of cash into his hand.
"Thanks," She smiled, before slinging her bag over her shoulder, and hopping out of the seat. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched the car pull away, taking with it her old life. Out with the old, in with the new..right? This could be the new beginning she was waiting for.

Nervously fiddling with her snakebites, she paused for a moment outside the building, just staring at it with wide eyes. It was the biggest place she'd ever seen! Well..maybe that wasn't saying much, seeing as she grew up in a run down apartment in New York. But still, it amazed her.
