Personality: Ashton is the all american preppy boy. If you ask any underclassman they'll tell you of Ashton's perfection. He's a classy gentleman, to say the least. He's incredibly charming and witty, and always manages to talk himself in and out of every situation. His politeness is always noted, good manners from being raised by a nice classy family like himself. He often displays his humbleness, his prudence, his calm, his patience and his principles. He's many girl's dream guy, animal loving and kind. Anyone who talks to him would say he's a nice guy, dashing gentleman. A smile and a wink from him will send most blushing, and it's possibly he'd be called a flirt. Easily girls fawn over him, and he's sweet and kind to them all.
He saves face, so to say. He's extremely sheltered by any means, and hasn't ever been an outcast of any of the sort. He's always trying to improve his image, so he socializes with the other populars. He's a bit insecure though he never shows it, and he's not stupid to the idea of the social ladder. He's a born leader, and is known to throw raging parties. Though he is friendly to everyone he meets, you'd never see him really hanging out with anyone other than his other socialites. He's somewhat shallow in that fact, but in his eyes it's just the way things work. He tries not to stray from the unwritten laws.
When it comes to girls, he flirts occasionally but not too much. He sometimes has flings or hookups, but it's somewhat understood it wasn't going to be more. He's also had serious girlfriends, which becomes the talk of the school. The two are basically celebrities then, and many follow the whole relationship. Every girl wishing she were his girlfriend. The break up is basically the talk of the school for a month.
He's pretty well rounded, and participates in various preppy things. He goes sailing or boating with his family, and vacations often. He plays lacrosse for the school team, but you wouldn't say he was as involved in it as a jock. It's sort of a boost to his popularity, because he's a decent starter for the team. Other than that he's extremely spoiled, and works for almost nothing. He's the youngest of three, and the baby of the family. His older brother and sister often spend time with him, and are extremely similar to how he is. They're a seemingly picture perfect family, and very rich at that.
When it comes to being the king of the socialites, he does his job. He keeps the other boys in line, while keeping a neutral agreement between them. Being boys, they have less drama than the girls, but not much. They do have an image to uphold, just like the girls. He's serious when it comes to any serious issues, but besides that he's more focused on scheduling the next kegger. His older brother will easily buy him one, so alcohol is never a problem.
Being a socialite means that you have friends and bonds to withhold, as well as hatreds. It isn't odd for Ashton to go along in the fun of pulling pranks on the nerds or anyone else they decide. He's always looking for a good time, even at other's expense.
He'd never really come off as a dick to women, but he will laugh behind any friend who does. Standing up for someone other than your main friends is suicide, and Ashton isn't willing to risk anything. He decides there isn't a right and wrong, only a grey area. Looking into it is pointless because nothing will change unless you mess with the flow. And honestly, things are going wonderfully for him as it is. He has everything he could want really, other than a girl. For right now.
He is extremely confident, and does place himself above everyone else. He's Ashton Chambers. Why should he lower himself? He respects others generally, and has his gentlemanliness, but like mentioned he doesn't mind being cruel for a few laughs. In his own perfect world everyone is there to entertain him and his friends.
History: Ashton's family would seem like a picture perfect type, though it's not far from it, it has some major gaps. But, in front of the camera gaps are easy to hide. Ashton is the baby of the family, having two older siblings. A brother and sister, who are actually twins. Though by looking and talking to them you'd never guess it. Even though the two seem like they'd hate each other, they manage to get along anyway.
Growing up was easy for the Chambers, their father owning a huge producing company for music. Their father never really pushed any of the kids to do anything musical, but go for business. He knows the music industry is tough, and he'd rather his kids work for him someday than the other way around. Ashton's mother is a lovely woman, with a ladylike attitude. She's friendly and kind, but after marrying his father she quit her job. There isn't really a problem with his parents though, they are very much in love and spend their time at country clubs golfing, playing tennis, and sitting beside the pool.
The twins were 4 almost 5 when Ashton was born. Both of the twins seemed to fight over who's he was, until he got to be a pesky annoying brother. As they got older, the tree were always playing together. Ashton seemed to be a voice of reason, even as young as he was. The older two would fight because they were indeed very different, but that comes in later. It wasn't until they were in high school when things really branched. The twins were never with Ashton in school.
Or each other, for that matter. His older brother was a socialite, king of the parties. His sister though, was a nerd. At school the two didn't really talk or speak of each other very much, merely pretended the other didn't exist. The two were always friendly at home though. When they both graduated high school, his sister was accepted into a great school, and everyone around her knew she was going somewhere wonderful. His brother went to Berkley, also wonderful of course. But, his brother seemed to have an alcohol problem, and eventually moved back home. The family is slightly embarrassed about him, and instead made up an excuse for why they pulled him out. He continues to have a drinking problem, and they can't really change it that well. Ashton doesn't mind as much though, and for now thinks his brother is the coolest for getting him kegs and other things for parties they throw.
Ashton went to PCA the first year he could, and he did love it. Though he couldn't really hang out with his siblings, they'd both stop to talk to him when they saw him. At the time he didn't really care about the cliques they were in, so he wasn't afraid to talk to either of them. Honestly, he didn't know about the cliques until he was going into his freshman year. His brother quickly explained everything, and told him he'd be a king of the socialites one day.
Ashton had always been a good kid, and he didn't even know if that's what he wanted to do. But, he listened to his role model, and when he was a Senior he did become king.
But, back to the before years. When Ashton was a sophomore, he was invited to tons of parties. Just hearing his last name made him popular. Art freaks always seemed to hand him CDs for his father to listen to, and other socialites and jocks always said hi to him anywhere he went. It did get to his head a little, and he had tons of fun with it. At parties and at school he was always fawned over by girls, and sometimes he took advantage of that. But he always remained the gentlemanly nice boy he started out to be.
His junior year was a bit more relaxed, because he knew he'd have to focus a bit more on grades. The first half of the year was more low key, though he did go to dances and parties. It wasn't until the middle of the year that he met his first love, Jen. Jen was a quiet sophomore, also a socialite. It started out as just flirting, as he did with any girl it seemed. Harmless, and no attachments. No one even seemed to notice he gave her extra attention. Something about her made him drawn to her, and he found that she was easy to talk to.
He asked her to prom, and from then on they'd been inseparable. They became an it couple, but he barely worried about anything other than her. He'd never felt like this with anyone, and didn't want to with anyone else. They dated for a long time, but it felt like he'd been with her for years. There was a comfort and familiarness about her that made her feel like they'd always been together. By the time they broke up all he felt was that they only got to be together for a short amount of time.
But that's how she was, when you have her. Maybe it was the way she smiled, or tucked her hair behind her ear, or said his name that made him so crazy for her. Or the way when he looked at her with his goofy grin she'd sort of blush and look away, and his smile would fade. He couldn't help but stare then, not knowing if he'd ever see anything as gorgeous as her in that moment. He'd then pull her into his chest and just hug her. A second later she'd wrap her arms around him too, and they could be standing there for what felt like forever. Until one pulled away, usually her. Then he felt as if it hadn't lasted long enough.
That was there relationship, for a long time at least. He'd never felt closer to anyone. His family loved her as well, and his sister even got along with her which was surprising. But, all good things come to an end. The summer just after that year there were three fights. Maybe Ashton was a bit jealous that he didn't get to see Jen as much, and a bit hurt that she didn't want to go to the hamptons with him. She wanted to stay back with all her friends, and she had cheerleading camps anyway. The next fight was a week before he left. This one was a bit random, something small that snowballed. It ended with her crying and him feeling like a jerk. They did make up, but not for long.
The next and final fight was only a couple days before he left, and everything he said to her he can honestly say he regretted it. But that was it, she was done with him. She never even spoke to him after that day, and still hasn't. Though he called and texted her often over the next month, no reply. He was heartbroken. The hamptons didn't exactly lighten his spirits that well, he did try extremely hard to seem alright.
His family and the Ricci's were pretty close, and the families met up during their stay. They socialized together often, and he found that he and Belladonna talked sometimes. As the summer progressed they became closer, but he didn't really get Jen off of his mind. Donna did make everything hurt less. A lot less.
It was on one day that she mentioned some gossip that she'd been texted, that Jen was dating Nate. This was like a stab to Ashton, but instead he smiled, and said who cares.
Within the next few weeks, Donna and Ashton got together, it being a political move and they were both attractive, why not? The two both being the king in queen makes it pretty predictable, yes?
