|Appearance|
Chase have never been among the tall guys but thankfully not really short either. He's avarage build and kinda clumsy sometimes. His light brown hair is most of the time fixed to stand up a little to the side, he rarely goes around with too messy hair. Likes to be clean and freash. His eyes a much darker shade of brown. He mostly wear clothes in earth tones because he can't stand too bright coloured clothes. He loves soft worn t-shirts and jeans, hoodies or sweaters. Will likely wear sweaters for as long as it doesn't get too hot outside. When it comes to shoes, he wears mostly boots or sometimes converse. Even though he got a pretty laid back clothing style, he can dress up if needed. Like going to the prom or whatever would be the cause.

|Personality|
Chase is an open minded boy even though he have gone through a lot of bullying ude to his sexuallity. You would think that he'd be hard but he's kind hearted and often smiles towards anyone, friend or stranger. But don't let his carefree nature fool you, he may be kind and nice to everyone but if you hate on his sexuality. You'll see a different kind of person. Often he'd snap either in words or it might end up in a punch, depends on which mood he's in. He's respectful however if some people don't feel comfortable with how he is, never pushes his sexuality into other people but dont hide it either.
He knew how it felt to be scared to tell anyone, but realised that this is who he is. Like it or not. He tries not to let negative things burden him and always look on the bright side of everything. Or well, as much as you can look on the bright side of something. He's somewhat of a socialbutterfly and never have any problem at all to talk to others, seems to fit with most people at school who doesn't dislike him too much.


|History|
Ever since Chase was little, he knew that he didn't like gilrs like the other boys did in his class. He was quite confused with it and tried to be like all the other boys. But it never made him feel quite like them, he always felt like he didn't belong with them no matter how much he tried. It went on for a few years, trying to fit in. Even kissed a girl one. It wasn't disgusting but it didn't feel right either. With shame he came home and told his parents about it. How he rather looked at boys then girls, hang out with them and even liked a few of them. At first he thought that they might get angry at him but they just smiled at him and told him it was fine. That how he felt was who he was and they wouldn't want him any other way. The conversation was long and at the end Chase felt relieved, felt like he could breathe again. After a week he told his best friend Adam about his sexuality. You could say it was a somewhat of an awkward conversation but in the end Adam was fine with who he was, even though Adam's parents was against it all. It was mainly because of Adam's parents that Chase had hesitated to tell him but since he was fine with it, he felt rather stupid about it and even told him that. Adam had just laughed and called him stupid, they weren't best friends for nothing.
Even though the ones close to him was fine with who he was didn't mean that everyone else was and it was hell the first few years until he started High School, okay sure. High School was also a bit of hell but he could handle that just fine. He did end up in many fights over the years as openly gay, most of the times in fist fights because he couldn't just ignore people who looked down on him. Of course he did try at first to just ignore most of the students who thought it was fun to bully him. But even a calm person have it's limit and his snapped a few times. With a good reason. He would never be scared to stand up for who he is and what he believed was right, no one had a right to bully anyone because of who they were. High School was the time for people to find out who they were, hormones and all that stuff in play. He always thought he was lucky to know pretty early who he was so he wouldn't walk around confused of who he liked. A girl or a boy, maybe not even any of them?
He never really had eyes on his best friend, they were buddies. Nothing more really. They hung out and ended up doing a lot of stupid shit, staying up late. Run around late at night, play videogames toghether. Sleep overs and so on. But it had never been more. Or so he thought. Until that night at a party. It had really been like any other party as they had gone to. People dancing, loud music and alcohol. Who got the alcohol? Nobody knew or even cared, it was fun. They had arrived together and mingled with all the other people, maybe drank a little too much but it ended in a way he never thought it would. In a drunken haze, Chase had bumped into Adam in a hallway and smiled at him. At that moment it was like a sudden realisation, out of nowhere really. But it was what had driven him to lean forward and kissed him. Right there in the hallway with music beating somewhere in the living room but it didn't matter at the moment at all. At first it had felt amazing, but that might have been his drunken state. It hadn't been so awkward there but the next day?
The next day it had been awkward. So damn awkward between them because it had only been a drunken kiss right? That happens everyone. Right? Chase however questioned it because now he paid attention to things when it came to Adam, how he smiled. Talked. Concentrated. All those things he didn't think about before, if they sat close or looked at each other. Had he fallen for his best friend? He couldn't really say but the feeling was there, tugging at his heart and sent butterflies to his stomach. It wasn't a mistake, or well. He wasn't sure. But a huge mess, that's what it was because falling for his best friend? That was not something he was prepared for. Not in a long shot.

Sophia stretched as she sat up in her bed. She always woke up just a few minutes before her alarm went off at 7:15. Getting up, she walked to the bathroom in her pink pajamas. She got into the shower and got out about 15 minutes later, brushed her teeth, and got dressed in a lace top with a flowy flower skirt and leggings underneath. Lastly, she put on her necklace that Oscar had given her for their 2 year anniversary. Walking down to the kitchen, her mother was washing dishes and greeted her. Sophia grabbed a banana from the basket of fruit on the kitchen table and ate it semi-quickly. Picking up her backpack, she said goodbye to her mother and began her 10 minute walk to Magnolia High.

Upon reaching the school, Sophia greeted those she passed on the way to her locker, smiling sweetly as she always did. She headed inside to her locker and placed her backpack inside, seeing a note from Oscar within the space. She smiled, closed her locker, and taking it into the bathroom to read it, just to be safe.

As the alarm started to sound, Cahse sighed and turned it off. Or well, snooze time! He always snoozed some time before going up. Always med him feel better if he gave himself some time to wake up. Not stressing and loving the bed just a bit longer. After the third time the alarm rang he turned it off and looked around in his room, the sun lighten his room a bit. Taking another minute or so before stretching and finally getting up. He did the same thing more or less every morning, get dressed wearing dark blue jeans, light grey t shirt and a darker grey sweater over befire heading to the kitchen to eat something before fixing himself up. Breakfast always woke him up a little more.

"Good morning, sweetie." His mother greeted when he sat down at the kitchen table. He smiled at her and took a bowl to pour some milk and cereal in it.
"Morning mom. Hey, where's dad? Have he gone to work already?" His father usually sat already here and drank coffee but not today. Of course it wasn't something new but he always asked. "Ah yes, he had to leave a bit early today. Some business meeting he couldn't miss. Don't forget to fix that hair of yours before you go to school. Also, your books are on the livingroom table." She said as she kissed his head before heading upstairs, probably getting ready for work. He had left his books scattered over the kitchen table and forgotten to pack them up when he had head to bed. It was his mother's way to tell him to take care of them next time. He yawned and put away his plate when he finished and went to the bathroom. To his shock his hair was sticking in every direction and laughed, no wonder his mother had made that comment.

A few minutes later, teeth brushed and hair fixed. He grabbed his stuff to walk down the street to his best friend. They always went to school together and even though things had been a bit awkward after the kiss, he didn't feel like he should avoid Adam. It would make things worse or well. More complicated? He wasn't sure actually. But breaking a habit wasn't something he would start with yet.

Sophia slipped into the girls restroom, gently placing the note in her pocket as she pushed the door open. There were two girls already in there primping themselves in the mirror, applying what makeup they didn't, or couldn't, do at home. The two girls smiled at Sophie as they saw her enter.
"Hey, Sof!" The blonde girl said in greeting, "You coming to the game on Friday?
"Hey, Angela. I haven't decided yet. Maybe." Angela was a cheerleader and always trying to get Sophia to either come to games or to join the squad. Though she was in track and field, Sophia never really liked cheerleading.Angela was one of the nice girls on the team, though Sophia wasn't sure if she was only nice to her because she wanted her to join the team or if she just genuinely liked her. Whatever the reason, Sophia didn't mind having another friend.
"You better! We've been practicing a new routine and I'd love to hear your opinion."
"She can always see it at the Pep Rally tomorrow, Ange."
"I know, Beth. But you know my brother. He's always asking about you, Sof.
"Ugh, Ben is such a creep!"
Angela giggled, "I know."
Ben was Angela's twin brother and had been one of Sophia's bullies during middle school. He was constantly teasing her about her braces or how short she was and would often trip her in the halls if she walked past him. Once they hit high school, however, and Sophia had flowered, his demeanor towards her changed. He was suddenly finding any excuse to talk to her, trying to get his sister to talk her into coming to sporting events, him being on the football team, and even attempting to write her love letters. None were ever as good as Oscar's. Sophia, however, never forgot the way he was in their younger days. She never would.

"He knows I'm not looking for a relationship, right?" Sophia asked.
"I've only told him a million different ways. But you know boys; always horndogs until they can get some and then it's on to the next conquest." Angela replied, putting on lipstick, "Anyway, Beth and I are gonna head to homeroom. See you later?
"Yep. Have a good day." Sophia smiled as Beth and Angela exited the room. Now she finally had time to read Oscar's note. Her heart thumped in her chest, as it always did when thinking of him. Unfolding the note, she began reading the poem Oscar had written out. She loved his penmanship. At the end of the note, he posed a question,
"I miss you so much-are you free to visit at some point today?"
She smiled, taking her phone out and texting him.

"Got your note. Can sign out for lunch. Meet in the usual place?
I love you!
-S



Their usual place was a few minutes away within the woods down the hill from the school. Nobody really went into that area, especially during school hours, so it was the perfect place to meet with no hope of being spotted. Even if they heard someone coming, there were plenty of places to hide. It was also quite romantic. She placed the note back into her pocket and stepped into a stall to use it. Once she was in there, she noticed graffiti on the wall. A little note written in pencil, luckily.

Would bang Mr. Everett. Hottie!!!!

Sophia quickly took out a pencil and quickly erased the note. She knew other students pined for Oscar, but despite his feelings solely for her, she couldn't help but feel a bit jealous and insecure about it. After finishing up in the stall, she washed her hands and headed out into the hall, awaiting her meeting later. But first, it was on to homeroom with her peers.

|| #ba3733 || Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Mountains beyond Mountains) || The Best Friend ||


Adam tried really hard to avoid, avoiding Chase. It wasn't like the kiss was entirely his fault, Adam had his own part in it - and he hadn't pulled away so there was also that. He really didn't like the idea of avoiding his best friend, but he was also weary about the consequences of said kiss. Things were scarily uncertain in his life at that moment, between juggling school and his parents never waning obsession with ruining his entire life. At that moment he really didn't know what to do.

Sleep had never came easy for him, which was why he was sleepily pacing the length of his bedroom. Government cell phone pressed against his ear; his parents refused to buy him a phone so he made do with what he could afford himself. Grace is on the other end of the line ranting about college life, her boyfriend Drew, and whatever useless detail she can fill him in on. Its nice, but definitely not why he called her in the first place. But in usual Grace fashion she's taken his calling her as a chance to chatter away. She's the only person he knows with a bigger talking problem than him.

"Grace," He sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. An oncoming headache from a sleepless night already brewing in his head. "Grace, seriously need you to listen to me." Something in his tone must sound desperate, since she decides to shut up and listen to him for once. "Thank you," he sighs in relief. Lowering his voice just in case there are nosy ears. "Hypothetically," He starts, listening to her groan on the other end of the line. "I hate that word," she informs and Adam has to agree, but for the sake of not telling her the full story he continues on. "I know, but, hypothetically if someone were to....no, wait let me start again."

"So I've got a friend," He continues on, trying his best to word his fears. "And this friend has a...I dunno, fuck, he has a crush I guess. But this crush is someone of the same gender, and this friend also has the worlds most obsessively religious parents in the world." Okay, well, he didn't exactly word that to sound like hes actually talking about someone other than himself. Oh well, she can deal. Or maybe she can't, because the line goes eerily quiet. Like shes dropped the call but he can hear her TV in the background so she hasn't. "You're friend is screwed," Grace says after a long time.

"Seriously, couldn't your friend have waited to have this particular crisis until after high school? When your friend could move away from his insane parents. Like your friends far superior older sister did." Adam laughs, but its far from amused. "My friend has no choice, and it isn't a crisis...its just, hes really, really confused Grace." His sister sighs, like shes been gearing up for a talk like this for a long time; which no, she couldn't have known since she isn't psychic. "Adam, your sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of." Wow, there's at least one weight lifted from his chest. Yet he doesn't feel any better than before. Also, its fairly annoying that Grace has dropped the hypothetical story. "Look, just take some time to figure it out, don't say anything to mom or dad. I love you little brother, but this isn't something I can decide for you."

"Thanks, I love you too Gracie...I've gotta go, or I'll be late for school." And I'm probably keeping Chase waiting, he thinks, but doesn't say. The line goes dead seconds later and he rushes to get dressed, throwing on the first things he sees and attempting to tame the wild mane of hair atop his head. Finally giving up he just throws on a beanie and proceeds to go about the rest of his morning routine. Looking in the mirror he notices that he looks like hell. Mostly because hes paler than normal, dark circles under his eyes making everything worse. It looks like he hasn't slept in days - which he hasn't. He turns away from the mirror a bit angrily, then leaves the bathroom altogether.

He thunders down the stairs, anxiously chewing the inside of his lip. His parents are already gone for the day, one less thing to worry about. Hes glad they both work in the mornings, he would never get any peace otherwise. He just grabs a pack of poptarts and heads out the door. He spots Chase instantly, they always make their way to the school together.

It shouldn't be any different. Adam firmly decides to push aside his worries, and smiles at his best friend. Opting to not let whatever had just come between them change the fact that they have been, and will hopefully always be friends. "Hows it hanging man?"

It wasn't as if Chase knew things was awkward between them. He had a feeling that Adam had been avoiding him but then again, so had he. Okay maybe not really that much avoided Adam but he hadn't been seeking him out even though they hang out a lot. But these days had been a bit difficult. Because of that damn kiss. He had tried not to think about it but well.. Who was he really fooling? Himself of course. He understood that Adam might not want to hang out with him as much as before but the walk to school in the mornings was a routine for him and he would stick to it until Adam actually didn't want to meet him more like this. It would probably break his heart a bit but.. With Adam's family he could understand it to a point but still, it was all really annoyingly complicated.

He stood there thinking it all over and over again. Did he maybe have a crush on Adam? He had after all kissed Adam first, or well. Initiated the kiss. But he hadn't really pushed him away now had he? It's all really confusing.. He thinks and pushed a hand through his hair. Wasn't his life quite easy going now? Well, as easy going life can go for a teenager boy. Who had a small crush on his best friend. A freaking crush.

Though he have never been the one to get stuck on the negative side of life. Things would go as they did and he would do his best to make things like they used to do. It wouldn't be that hard to pretend like nothing for now. Right? Wrong, so wrong on many levels because there Adam came and smiled. He looked like hell and a stab of guilt hit him. It was probably his fault why Adam looked so tired and worn now days. "Morning, ready for another day at school?" He asked with a smile and thought it would be better if he didn't comment on how Adam looked like. He could also play along in the "lets forget what happened at that party" game. At least for a while longer.

"It would have been nice to be home for a day or week, I finally got that new Assassin's Creed but haven't even starte it yet." He talked while they walked towards school, stretching a bit. Shoving his hands into his pockets, he glanced towards Adam. He did feel like he should apologize or something but it didn't taste right on his tongue so he kept silent. They could talk about that party another time. When things didn't feel so jumbled or confusing.
