Introduction
" Too weak, for all her heart's endeavor,
To set its struggling passion free
From pride, and vainer ties dissever,
And give herself to me forever.
But passion sometimes would prevail,
Nor could to-night's gay feast restrain
A sudden thought of one so pale
For love of her, and all in vain "
In the late 1800's, St. Peter's Conservatory for young girls was considered to be the most sophisticated and well known school in the country, maybe even in the world. There, heiresses, princesses, daughters of the knights, and any girl in the upper class attended the school with the hopes of keeping their high reputations. They took classes to learn manners, etiquette, how to take care of a family, and how to pick the right man to marry, if they weren't already arranged to marry. They were the perfect women of the Victoria Era, or at least, that's what everyone thought. Until a certain group of young girls arrived at the school. Although they were raised as well as the other girls in the school, they wanted something more. They wanted to live for themselves, and not just to marry the first rich man that proposed marriage to them. They wanted to enjoy their young lives while they could, and felt that they didn't fit into the world they were placed in. The world of tea parties, corsets, and marriage.
The group consisted of six girls. Six troublemaking girls that were up to no good one day. They were all together after decent hours, and decided that they wanted to be different. Everything about the school and the people in it were all so..average. They didn't want to be just like their mothers. So, they decided that they would do everything they could not to be the same. They started drinking things a lot stronger than wine, doing things with boys they didn't even know, saying words to people that should never come out of their mouths in the first place, disobeying their parents, and breaking all of the school rules. However, they didn't plan to fall in love with each other.
Now, it is their last year in school, and they fear that things between them are going to be changed forever. One of them is being forced to marry a man she doesn't love, one is moving to France, and the others are going off on their own paths. What will the group do? Will they manage to break the rules that have been set for them in life? Will they go against everything they have ever learned to be together?

The Harlot
She'll sleep with anyone. Any time. Any place. Guy. Girl. Gay. Straight. She loves it. She loves to manipulate and control and she uses her appearance to do that. Many people think she is in love with them. How hilarious. Almost as funny as her father making her marry a rich man. Question is, can the harlot actually love?

The Alcoholic
They say that alcoholism is genetic and can run rapid throughout a family. In that case, she'll just use that to blame for her misfortune. Her parents are just as wealthy as every other St. Peter's family, but do all of them have a drunkard for a daddy? She studies hard, but she hits the bottle harder than the books. Sad thing is, it's all about to fall down and bite her in the padded ass.

The Virgin
She's done a lot of things wrong, but waiting till marriage is a vow she swore she would never break. So far she has kept that promise. She has turned her eyes away from the most handsome men, but lusting after a woman is a different problem entirely. Maybe sleeping with a man would help her figure things out once and for all. But she can't break that vow she made with her mother. She can't disappoint her family and be the tainted girl in gossip. She better figure things out soon, her family will soon be moving away to France.
OPEN
The Tomboy
Most of the girls at St. Peter's would love for a man to take care of them in a big fancy palace. Even though she comes from money, all she wants is a big farmhouse in the country. She wants to work hard and deserve the money she gets. She loves playing sports and hanging out with the guys in town. Definitely one of the boys. Her parents sent her to St. Peter's hoping she would learn how to be a proper lady...we'll see about that.

The Liar
She's a compulsive liar. About everything. Everyone believes that she also comes from a wealthy family and is betrothed to a handsome man, but it's all a big lie. She's poor and only at St. Peter's on scholarship. She'd lie about the sky being blue if she could get away with it. A lie always seems better than her reality, and she intends to keep doing it. Everyone else in the school is full of it, why shouldn't she be?
TAKEN___MissBrightside_
The Princess
Sweet as candy, but can definitely be a brat. She's had life on a silver platter and it's definitely how she likes it. Everyone would be shocked to know that she is in love..and not with a man. She has a reputation to maintain not only in the school, but in the city as well. If everyone would find out who she really was, there would be a flaw in her system. A princess has to be perfect.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
Tears threatened to burst through but she sucked it up, rushing over to her and gently soothing her.
She refused to leave her until she fell into a light sleep.
Getting up she left quickly to find Corvetta and Romeo arguing.
She watched as her friend beat the man from the safety behind a large marble pillar.
As soon as Corvetta walked away Florence went over.
"Cor?" She said lightly, placing a hand on her friends shoulder.
"It's Ok, he deserved it. Every last bit of it." She whispered and stepped closer, comforting her.
She pulled at her stupid dress and much wished she was more dressed in the same as Corvetta.
She accidentally pulled too hard and the dressed ripped, it split just above her hip and she squealed.
"Damn." She cried, biting her lip.

Eva watched Karyna grab a bottle from a nearby closet, for once in many years she just did not want to drink. She watched Karyna come closer as the blonde put her hands on either side of her head and Karyna looked at her. She listened to the words Karyna said and her eyes widened a little when Karyna said it was something sincere, something that if she didnt like she could just forget about it but the next thing that Karyna said had Eva guessing what her blonde friend was going to say, having the whole mansion...well that could only really mean one thing. Feeling Karyna's hand run through her hair and onto her side made her want to melt into the blonde, she had a feeling. And sure enough Eva heard her whole name used, which none of the girls have used since they met, then the words that she was hoping for, the ones that poured out of Karyna's mouth made Eva's heart pound.
"Karyna...what I needed to tell you....well let me just show you.." she leaned in and kissed Karyna, after a few moments she leaned back against the door and searched the blondes eyes with her own. "I love you to Karyna and I have longed for you for a long time, I just was not sure how you felt, but now that I know I dont want to ever let you go" she wanted to feel Karyna in many different ways and she had a feeling tonight would be one night that she won't forget.
K A R Y N A _____________ A L E X A N D E R
"There was a little girl who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead;
When she was good, she was very, very good,
And when she was bad she was horrid."
The kiss was unlike anything she had experienced before. It was passionate and magnetic. Considering all of Karyna's experience, this was by her the best kiss she had ever received. It had feeling and it felt like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Also not wanting to let her go, Karyna held her close and ignored the thought of anyone walking by or spotting them together. She didn't care anymore. She was happy, and Eva was happy, and that was all she cared about. "If only you could see yourself the way that I see you, Eva" Karyna whispered, placing her hands on both sides of Eva's face and continuing to kiss her. Although Karyna wanted to take her then, right there, and whisk her into a bedroom, Karyna wanted that moment to be when they were both sober. She didn't want clouded words, or clouded hearts, and the other girls would be looking for them soon. "We should probably try to find some water...see what the other girls are doing. They'll be wondering where we are" Karyna added, laughing at the fact that they had been gone for almost an hour now. What a trip to the bathroom.
Now that she had had her hands on Eva, it was hard for Karyna to keep to herself as they walked down the hallway towards the kitchen. At least, she believed that the kitchen was in the direction that they were headed. It seemed as if everyone else at the party was just now beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol. Oh, shit. I still have to find a chance to talk to Charles tonight. If I don't, I'm sure he will track me down" Karyna thought to herself as she innocently and purposefully brushed her hand against Eva's as they walked.
::Evangelina Doherty::
Eva's heart was beating faster as Karyna deepened the kiss, it was something she never felt before. She heard Karyna's whisper as the kiss ended if only she thought to herself. Feeling the blondes hands on her face sent chills through her body and once again she felt Karyna's lips against hers, she wanted to be with Karyna in every way but the alcohol in her system was hitting her hard and it was very unlikely she would be up much longer unless there was a way to sober up soon.
When Karyna mentioned water she nodded her head "waterrr sounds great" though she really did just want to be held by Karyna. As they walked to the kitchen there was a few times she stumbled and tripped over her own feet, as she just felt like laying down. "Kary..once we uh get waterr ands find the girlss can we lay down. Im geetting really sleepy" she slurred and giggled. "I love you soo much Karyna" she linked her own arm in Karyna's and laid her head on the blondes shoulder. "Never leave me okay?" she whispered as her eyes slightly became half shut. "Ill always be here for you Karyna..always.."
Zen Glamis
Away from the party, Zen made her way back to the conservatory, her beautiful updo becoming undone, an exhausted look in her eyes.
She'd done it....the boy would never see the light of day again, but by the time her hit-man had caught up with Romeo, he was begging for death. One thing you never do, is mess with one of THESE girls......it will be the death of you...
Zen slipped into the conservatory, using tricks shed seen Karyna use to remain hidden, as well as buying a few Pepsi's on the way. Once she made it to their floor, she went right past her room, and slipped into Eva's room. She wanted to finish what shed started.
She found Eva's stash and selected a bottle of vodka, she hated its taste, like rubbing alcohol, but it always done the trick. Twisting off the cork, something that she secretly loved doing most of the time, brought no enjoyment. She took her first swig of many waiting for her friends to return.
The bottle wasn't full when she started, but she would try for it to be empty before they returned.
Perfect...my weakness
