      Lennox may not be very tall but his mesomorph, inverted triangle body type has been built with a strong set of muscles to compensate for his height. He doesn’t like looking weak or lanky so he hits the gym every day. He stands only at 5 foot 9 but has enough muscle for anyone who looks at him to bypass that completely. His dark brown eyes and his dark brown hair accentuate his facial features and though he likes to grow his facial hair out, he typically keeps it at a clean shave or short stubble. Lennox believes highly that cleanliness is next to godliness and in order to be godly, you have to look godly. His hair isn’t kept very long because his hair consists mostly of thick curls, so he keeps the sides shaved with the top a little longer so he shaves it all down to a close buzz cut.

      Lennox has moles scattered across his body, that he doesn’t pay much attention to but he also has a few tattoos: Mercy on the outside of his right forearm and “God is greater than he highs and lows” on the inside of his left forearm. He wants to get a few more but hasn’t decided on what yet. Lennox allows his tattoos to accentuate his style. He prefers dressing casually, usually wearing a simple button up with jeans, like such. However, Lennox also has two other sides to him. He has his dressed up side and his dressed down side. Truth is, you’ll rarely see Lennox in sweatpants. He believes in appearances making a person. His style, his looks, his body all sum Lennox up to a 30 on his scale of 10 but if any other were to give him a number, they’d probably rate him just as high. 9/10.

      Lennox is special in his own way. To put it nicely, Lennox is kind of an asshole. He doesn’t know when to quit, and most of the time even if he did know when he wouldn’t. Lennox is a bully. He pushes people past their comfort levels, he pushes them to their boiling point and he honestly gets a rise out of his. Which is interesting for him of all people, because he has Mercy tattooed on his forearm. He believes in God, and he makes it a point to go to church every week but that tattoo isn’t going to save a guy like him. Lennox is a very misguided person. He’s stuck in a world of trying to be his own person while trying to get everyone else to like him. Being part of the Royals earns him a spot on the totem pole but that doesn’t mean he is absolutely loved. Lennox is a bully and enjoys getting on people’s nerves. He can be abrasive and aggressive towards the students lower on the totem pole. He sees himself as in A-lister not only in school but in life. He honestly sees himself as better than most people, which makes him an enormous dick, but somehow, for some reason Lennox doesn’t mind it.

      Lennox is a tad prideful. He’s had a relationship with fame so he’s stood himself up on a very tall pedestal and because of it he has kind of lost sight at the fact that he’s a regular student just like everyone else. Beverly Hills will do that to a person though. Knox is kind of the furthest thing from humble there is because he refuses to believe that he wasn’t meant to be living this life of the rich and famous. He doesn’t seem to truly understand the in’s and out’s of the world. He’s caught up living in a shadow and he doesn’t even realize that most of the time he sticks himself there. He thinks that just because he has all this talent, he has a first class ticket to be the world’s biggest douchebag. So far he’s succeeding but that’s not the point. He doesn’t understand that there are parts of him that are better than that. There are parts of him that simply looking to fit in, to be accepted, to be liked, to be paid attention to. He’s so caught up in his narcissistic ways that he forgets about all the sensitive parts of him that no one really notices, including himself.

      Underneath the surface, Lennox isn’t so bad. But that’s deep, very deep, very very far down somewhere deep in the black pit some may normally refer to as a heart, Lennox is a decent guy. He’s not a great guy and that’s a fact, but there is an alternate universe somewhere where Lennox is fairly decent. His smile is warming and he has an easy time making friends because right off the bat, Lennox is quite charming. But some run in the opposite direction when they get to know him because he can be very manipulating, mean, and aggressive. He never gets physical with people – unless he has to – but at times, the things Lennox can say about people can send them off the deep end.

      However, there is a small sliver in Lennox that creates a sweet side of him. When he truly, deeply cares about someone, this side of him appears. It’s almost an entirely different person when it appears. Lennox is naturally flirtatious and has trouble committing to things but love is a thing he hasn’t necessarily seen before so when he sees it, it is quite possibly that it changes him entirely. He has a warm and inviting side to him, it’s just not a side anyone knows very well. Knox is a bully, but every bully has a soft spot.

H A B I T S

      ✩ Spending habits Lennox has an excessive spending habit. All his money comes from his parents and he doesn’t really have a limit. Even if he did, he probably wouldn’t stick to it. He buys whatever he wants with no concept of overspending. He believes his wallet is a bottomless pit of cash
      ✧ Drugs/Alcohol Lennox has kind of an issue when it comes to his drug intake. He doesn’t smoke but he doesn’t see a problem with drinking himself into an oblivion. He is constantly throwing parties at his estate since his parents are never home and now that he’s old enough to not need a babysitter, it’s pretty much just him and his younger brother.

W E A K N E S S E S

      ✩ Alcohol Lennox abuses it and it’s slowly causing his to throw his life away.
      ✧ His Family It’s barely existent. Lennox doesn’t know if it’s worse to not have a family or to have a broken one.

      ✩ Music Lennox’s music is perhaps one of the biggest parts of his life. It’s taken place as one of the most important parts.
      ✧ His ‘Fame’ Keeping Lennox in the spotlight keeps him slightly in check. He tries hard to impress the pappo and the cameras so he is always on his best behavior when the media is watching.

H I S T O R Y
      Lennox grew up in a very loving home – the only problem was that his parents weren’t the type to be around a lot. Lennox and his brother Quinn were pretty much raised by nannies, Au Pairs, and the house help. His father and mother were very busy people – his father was the founder of – and ran – a large architecture company that provides the city with many new buildings and apartments, creating an ever growing city while his mother was an A-List celebrity for her short stint in film making but now she is a very well-known and well paid film producer instead. Needless to say, the Atwood family is a very wealthy one. They are well known around the area and are very high on the wage totem pole, easily sleeping by as an Upper Class family.

      Their childhood was filled with everything they ever wanted as the two boys were practically born with silver spoons in their mouths. Their home could easily be considered a mansion, always giving the boys a false sense of happiness and security. They grew up thinking the world was always going to give them what they wanted. Lennox’s childhood hero was always Tony Stark, or Ironman. He believed he’d grow up to be just like him one day – rich, attractive, and famous. Now at the age of 17, and he’s well on his way. When he and his brother were younger, his parents always needed a place to put them in between the nannies so they stuck their kids in lesson after lesson after lesson. It started with sports, then art, voice, then instrument, and before they knew it the boys had taken lessons in nearly everything. The boys ran with their newfound skills and Lennox eventually used his own talents to give himself a name rather than taking his parents fame for his own.

      Fame wasn’t an easy shadow to grow up into. His mother and father always had something going on and Lennox was always caught up in the background of it all. He knew more than anyone how much it sucked to be a kid with famous parents. He was proud of his parents though. He knew that their upbringings weren’t the best and they were able to pull themselves out of the dark hole they called their childhoods and they created lives for themselves away from the ones that they so dreaded. However, Lennox was quickly learning what it meant to dread a childhood. He rarely ever saw his parents, he had more nannies than he had friends, he sparingly went to school events with his small group of friends because he always needed a parent’s permission but never had a parent around. Knox hated being stuck in the spotlight’s shadow. So when he turned 14, he decided he was going to change his fate and give himself a spotlight. He created a YouTube account and started posting videos of him singing covers of songs, then he started singing originals, and before he knew it he had a big enough fan base to post whatever he wanted. He was someone – in his eyes. His parents never really understood what he was up to until he started getting calls at home from producers wanting to sign their son. He got signed by a producer a few years later and then his fame became known around the LA area. He’s got local fame that doesn’t span very far worldwide but within the nation he’s a YouTube sensation. Lennox has only a few solos publicly circulating. However, his parents insisted the boy lived a normal life as they did. So they removed Lennox from his record label and stuck him back in public school.

      Knox lives with his mother, his father, his younger brother and the house help who live on the property. He’s lived his entire life in his Beverly Hills home but he hopes to change that soon when he turns 18. Knox grew up in public school until his 15 minutes of fame where he was homeschooled for a short second but that changed just as quickly as his burst of fame. He was quickly put back into public school, now it is his junior year at B.H.H.S and only his second year there. He has a driver but prefers to drive himself everywhere even though he only has a permit. He used his father’s money to buy himself a car.

It seemed like the day had flown by and time was pacing in as Normani's party was soon. Taylor didn't really want to go but if he was going to rule the halls of Hollywood High, he sort of had to. Taylor had made it back to Tyler's home, seeing that he still wasn't there as he sighed softly to himself then shrugged his shoulders while entering the home. School had been a long day and so much happened within just a matter of a few hours. He was honestly exhausted but still had Normani's party to attend to.

After showering for a few minutes then quickly changing into his outfit for the party, Taylor had hoped that him and Christian could squash their whatever they had going on for the sake of the party. They were friends with some of the same people so why not try and give their friendship a shot. He laughed at the thought then grabbed his car keys and phone, which chimed as he was getting into his car. It was Knox, wondering where he was as it seems like the party is a drag anyway.

To: Knox
OMW! Text you when I get there.


Taylor sent the message then cranked up his engine, pulling out of the parking space and driving towards Normani's party. After a thirty minute drive, he pulled up to Normani's home then got out of his vehicle, pulling out his phone to text Knox.

To: Knox
I've arrived.


He sent the message then walked along the trail that led to the beach, where the party was being thrown. He wore a red muscle shirt with black and red beach shorts and black sandals. His sunglasses were hanging around his neck as his wrist was adorned with a silver bracelet. He walked over to Knox and gave him a head nod, signaling hello. "What's up, everyone?" Taylor asked the people Knox was hanging around as he waited for someone to respond before continuing.

"Definitely cute," Katherine responded quickly to Hailey's inquiry about Sam. She and the blonde had moved away from the crowd in front of the bar, but were still close enough where they could see what was going on with Sam and Angelina, and the group of people that gravitated towards them. She eagerly sipped her Long Island Iced Tea that Lauren had given her moments before as she watched the duo in the distance for a moment. Whatever Katherine felt for Sam wasn't strong enough for her to feel jealous or territorial. She didn't know him well enough. Hadn't made a move yet, like Liv insisted she had to do tonight, but the sight of him with Angelina made her not want to make a move. She and Angel weren't enemies like Mani and her were, but they weren't friends either, and Kat had a bad tendency of just agreeing that people were unworthy if Mani or another Royal claimed so. Even if she did internally feel like she was a step above Angelina, looking at the girl who was now sporting nothing other than a red bikini and jewelry made her a little bit hesitant on trying to compete with that. She and Angel had completely different looks, but the way that Sam's arm was wrapped around Angelina's waist suggested that Angel was his type. At the same time, with Sam's reputation, any female probably fell into the category of being his type, whether he tried to act like that or not. He got around, but regardless, he was a Prep, he came from money, and he had a way about him that didn't always make him seem so slimy. Even with Katherine's sometimes unreasonably high standards, Samuel didn't seem like a bad choice for her.

Clearly, the party didn't really start until the hostess came out, because moments after Mani and the girls made their way outside, lots of people began to flock towards the bar too. Trayson and some other jocks were socializing with Sam and Angelina, she spotted Lennox in the crowd, and like Jada, he was headed in her direction. Raquel and Tyler were at the bar too, which surprised Katherine. She didn't know Raquel very well on a personal level, but from what she did know of her, she seemed like too much of a good citizen and rule-follower to be a drinker. It wasn't important enough to dwell on and she didn't have time to regardless, because soon, Lennox was in front of her, asking about a text that Kat hadn't seen and before she could answer, telling her that Trayson had been talking about her in a good way. Unfortunately, this Long Island Iced Tea wasn't the first alcoholic beverage that Katherine had consumed today, so Knox's words brought a grin to her face as she looked at Hailey devilishly. She didn't even have time to give the blonde a "do you think I should?" look, because the alcohol was telling her to go for it, and she did. "Come be my wing-woman!" she called to Hailey, but she was already walking away as she did so, so she didn't see Jada join Hailey. Even intoxicated, Kat knew that if Lennox was lying and she was on the path to embarrassing herself, she was going to kill him.

"Hey Sam," Katherine smiled as she approached the group that consisted of the trio. She didn't know why she acknowledged him first, but compared to him and Angel, she felt like they spoke more. She looked towards Angel next and maintained a friendly smile. Had Angel not actually looked flawless in that bikini, and with a hand lightly pressed against Sam's face, she probably would have tried to be bitchy just to see if she could steal Sam from her, even though she didn't even know if she wanted him, or if Angel had him. Knowing that it would be competition, and still believing that Knox had been sincere with what he said about Trayson, she remained friendly and in her lane. "Hey," she said, before looking at Tray and saying the same. Another gulp of her drink quickly washed down her throat as she twirled a strand of her hair. "Why aren't you drinking anything yet, Tray?!" she exclaimed, reaching out a hand to touch his empty one. "Let's do shots! Angel, Sam, are you guys in?" She knew that the pair both had drinks in hand, but didn't even wait for their responses before turning to the bartender and ordering four shots of tequila. "No backing out!"

Outfit ♕ Location: Normani Devereux's Home (Beach) ♕ Theme Song ♕ Mood: Inquisitive



It didn't take long after their bout of affection, which Normani only bestowed upon two of her followers on a regular basis for very different reasons, for Normani to dismiss Lauren. She didn't need the girls following her for the evening and was more than happy to distract herself with her friends unless she decided to find Lauren again. Which probably would happen sooner, but she was going to enjoy herself first. Normani was teasing the straw of her drink with her teeth when Liv nudged her, forcing her gaze over to the bar where...where Liv was right because tall, blonde and gorgeous were definitely the correct adjectives to describe the guy Jada had said was her stepbrother. Not that Normani hadn't noticed before, but before she had been...well, distracted. And rightfully so, if you didn't ask Kat and instead asked Normani herself since her opinion was definitely more appropriately had than her brunette friend's. "Hmmm...looks scrumptious," she commented with a wicked grin, turning with Liv when the blonde turned to questioning a very off-guard Chadwick.

Honey wasn’t caught off guard often, more like hardly ever. She wasn’t as observant as Chad or as manipulative as Mani so she was never three steps ahead but she was usually at least one. So when Olivia teased Mani about some blonde that Mani hadn’t told Honey about she couldn’t help but be a little but be a little annoyed and maybe hurt if she was really honest. But she wasn’t surprised, I mean Mani having a crush wasn’t surprising but Olivia was the one to involve her and Chad into the conversation. Granted it wasn’t in the way she’d like. Honey wasn’t even a natural blonde which was evident by her styled dark roots and thick dark eyebrows. She turned to Chad and smiled, ”I don’t know are we more fun?” She asked with a tilt to her head. Chad blinked, a bit surprised by the sudden inquisition and the way Honey tilted her head at him. Despite their still holding hands, he could feel Honey was questioning more than if blondes were more fun and it made him swallow lightly before answering, "You're kinda fun, regardless." It was a safe - albeit, lame - response, but Chad didn't want to be there anymore. Not because he didn't want to be with Honey, but because Normani's eyes had narrowed just slightly and it was enough to make him feel...caught, and he didn't want to be caught. Caught doing what he would not be able to say, but it was enough for him to glance around to find Christian.

It struck Honey that in the past two days they had been the least affectionate than they’d ever been since they started dating. It wasn’t like they weren’t talking or arguing, they were. What she was really upset about was that Chad couldn’t talk to her about how he felt.

She glanced up at him before turning to Mani and giving her a wicked smile, ”You know what I could use? Some tequila.” She walked ahead of the group to the bar, her hips swaying in a way that was obvious due to the sheer material of her dress. Honey's proposal of more alcohol with a distracted grin Normani's way was a his means of an escape and while his girlfriend sauntered off, Chad lingered. "Hey...um, I'll catch up with you guys later, okay?" Normani nodded once followed with a "Sure thing, Chadwick," that should not have made him feel a twinge of guilt and he jetted off, past the crowd and over to the canopy lounge Christian was still chilling out at. Normani followed her friend's movement before whispering to Liv, "Be back." After a good start to their afternoon and considering the fact that Kat had abandoned them in favor of a guy (and Normani was seriously going to need fucking details ASAP if her Kitten was actually showing an interest in a guy), she normally would not have left Olivia. Not unless she decided to go dancing and Liv wasn't in the mood. But if there was anything that Mani picked up on, it was when a friend was not having a good day and right about now, she needed to figure out what the hell was going on between Honey and Chad. Besides, Lennox had arrived just as she was telling Liv goodbye, prompting a rather suggestive smirk on Normani's face behind Lennox's head before she officially left the scene.

Yep, definitely needing details.

Honey leaned across the bar and smiled at the bartender, ”Hey, honey, can I get some tequila shots?” When he poured them up she quickly downed it, grimacing as it burned down her throat. She sat at the bar and swiveled around to look at the group. Luckily, since mostly everyone else was distracted by their own conversations and the music had lured a few of the bar's most devoted guests out onto the sandy dance floor where a few belly-dancing instructors were giving lessons, Normani was the one who had caught up to hear Honey's next question. ”So walking around has been fun but when is this party going to get started?” One of Normani's eyebrows rose in question at the blonde's mood and she sipped her tea with a long stare at the blonde. "Considering the fact that the party's already started and you're already doing tequila, all of this," she gestured to the air surrounding her friend "ain't about no party getting started. What's up?" Cute guy, and damn he did look good from afar, could wait. Normani was more interested in whatever the hell had Chad unable to meet her gaze.

Location: Normani Devereux's Home (The Beach) ⚟ Theme Song ⚟ Mood: Irritated to Entertained



It was a good thing that Sam had run along when he did because while he was amused at the guy's energy and Sam was one of his boys and that was enough to put Christian in a good mood, his offhanded remark about still wanting to try with Angel made Christian scowl. Which, again - because he was seriously at a war with his head (and maybe his dick, but we aren't gonna go there) - shouldn't be a thing because his stint with Angel should never have happened and she was just a friend.

And Normani was looking like his own personal wet dream from Aladdin and he really shouldn't be thinking of a stupid ass Disney movie, but that was where the color was coming from and he could be her Aladdin if she wanted to play Jasmine today. He could also cockblock the shit out of Sam and Angel, but that was petty. And he was petty, but Chad had managed to take up his line of sight, which was a welcome distraction. "Dude, you look like shit," he commented and Chad sent him Bitchface #5 (don't make me punch you). "Bite me." Came the response and it was enough of a distraction that Chris tore his gaze from Normani breaking away from the large group and Angel being distracted by Sam's basic ass (and he really needed to stop mentally being a dick to one of his friends). "No, but seriously, dude you look like you could use a drink. ASAP." Christian's eyes hovered over the group of girls that were seated under the canopy with them, three smoking hookah and the other five idly chatting away. The one that caught his eye was Camila, one of Normani's girls. She was the youngest of the the queen's followers and the most energetic. She was also the most receptive to his charms and all it took was him looking in her general direction, and a flush rose to the girl's naturally lightly-tanned skin. Chris crooked his finger at her in a 'come hither' fashion and Camila, partly out of knowing that he could easily tell Normani anything and because not many actually resisted Christian, came over and Chad was giving him another bitch face, but Christian didn't look his way to figure out which one.

"No, Chris - " Christian held a hand up, interrupting Chad before he could finish his complaint. "Now, hold on, man. Chill," he said before turning to Camila a sweet smile, grasping her petite hand in his. "My friend here's being a prude, but he could use a drink. And you know how Mani takes care of all her friends. Think you can help her out? I don't wanna bother her right now, but - " Camila was quick to interject. "No, no. It's fine. I'll be right back." She hurried off to the bar and Chris already knew his best friend was scowling long before he actually stopped admiring the fact that...well, for a petite girl, Camila had a nice ass. "You're incorrigible," Chad said with a disgust they both knew he didn't actually feel. "She doesn't even know what I would want to drink if I was even drinking. Christian only grinned. [color=#0020c2]"Lighten up, she's a smart girl. 'Sides, obviously you need one since your girl is currently at the ball and you high-tailed it over here like a little bitch." Chad's scowl deepened and Chris' grin only widened as he leisurely leaned back against the cushions. His eyes shifted over to where he could see Normani and Honey, and his eyes met coincidentally with his ex-girlfriend's, before they shifted back to his best friend. And no, he did not just blush like a thirteen year old at getting caught because...he wasn't getting caught for anything. He had just looked over, practically harmless. "So, what's up? Trouble in paradise?" Chad sighed, heavy and unbidden.

"Chris..." He started and his friend waited for a moment before sighing himself. He knew Chad. Chad would turn the vibe he had been on previously into some chick flick moment and right about now, Chris wasn't feeling it. Not that he wasn't concerned and it wasn't like he wouldn't be willing to listen any day of the week. Just...actually, not now. Not when there was a party to distract themselves with. They could have some weird ass bitch-like bro moment when they weren't surrounded by losers and hot ass girls. "Dude, don't even lie to me right now." He ended up saying, voice a bit more softer than the tone going off in his head. "It's a long story," Chad finally admitted and Chris nodded understandingly, grateful that Camila had arrived once more with whiskey. Chad wrinkled his nose as the smell of the offered beverage, but didn't hesitate to take a swig of it. "Well, there's a party and hot girls and chick flick moment's gonna have to wait, bruh." Even if Chad wanted to bitch-face him, the smirk forming on his face thwarted those plans. "You're a horrible friend." Christian shrugged before grinning. "Told you that, what? Ten years ago? Still here, so I must not be that bad." All he got, as an answer, was a punch in the shoulder.

Normani agreeing that Hunter looked "scrumptious" had Olivia giggling. She wasn't trying to pull a Katherine, but she was going to give Daniel five more minutes to make his existence known at this party before she forced Normani over to one of these attractive boys. Obviously, Mani could do all of that on her own. She had a majority of the male population at the school drooling over her already, but it seemed like she needed a push. Or maybe Olivia was just too eager to see her friend with someone. Either way, she wanted someone other than Mani pulling that bikini off of her at the end of the night. The same went for Katherine, although Olivia doubted that the brunette had the capability of making as many moves as Mani could. Katherine was clearly a gorgeous girl with a body that girls would kill for. Guys tried to get her all of the time, but for the past few years, Katherine had never really been interested. It was always weird, but it was just the way that Katherine was. She would make out with someone, and then freak out and refuse to ever text them again, or before the makeout session even happened, she would convince herself and everyone else that the guy didn't actually like her, or that he wasn't her type. How Kat could possibly have a type when she had barely even dipped her feet in the pool of boys yet was beyond Liv, but she had never pushed Kat about it. For one, she could tell that Katherine was insecure when it came to boys, and secondly, Olivia knew that pushing Katherine too much on anything would result in emotions and tears and crying, and Liv wasn't about that life most of the time.

"He's got my vote for King of the night," Olivia shot back to Mani before the dark skinned girl managed to escape. She didn't think too much of Chad's uncomfortable response, or how he excused himself. It wasn't like they were amazingly close friends where she would try to read him or anything... but if she had to take a stab in the dark, a completely unbiased stab in the dark, she'd say that maybe he was realizing that Catalina weighed him down more than anything. She was a pretty face, a nice body... but not much more than that.

Just as Mani, Chad and Honey left her, Lennox appeared and pulled her a few feet away, to a quieter area. They were still in view of the others, and Liv instinctively searched past him even before he started speaking, as if maybe she could find Katherine and Normani and through eye-language, force them to come over and break whatever this was, up. She knew what it was going to be. His texts the day before had hinted at something homecoming related, and then there was Katherine and her mouth, so, when he did say what he said, Olivia wasn't exactly surprised. She was, however, caught off guard, because like James, she had been trying to put this off too. It wasn't that she was as hesitant to go with Lennox as she was with James. Her and Knox were friends, but not in the same way as she was friends with James, where if something went wrong, she was losing someone who was like a brother to her. And Knox was hot. Really hot. Liv could genuinely see herself going to the dance with him, but she knew that if she agreed to go with Knox, it would be offensive to James, who she had insisted to that she only wanted to go with as friends. The thought of having to deal with drama made her down a larger gulp of the Long Island Iced Tea than she thought her stomach would be able to handle.

He seemed so genuine though... and the way he held her hands and looked at her with such sincerity... it was nothing like James, who couldn't go through thirty seconds of a conversation without laughing or making some immature joke. "Okay," she said after a slight pause, looking at her hands in his, and then moving her gaze up to meet his. She couldn't help but to smile when their eyes met, but she hated herself for feeling the butterflies in her stomach, and even just the happiness she felt upon knowing that maybe she was making a good choice, because she knew that with this good choice would come drama. "But you're sure you can find someone for him, right? I don't want him to be... embarrassed or anything."

It’s not that Tray had a hard time getting along with the other Royals or Jocks, it’s more the matter of fact that Tray simply wasn’t like the rest of them. Of course, it made others think that he thought of himself as better than them or that he was a stick in the mud but it wasn’t his intention. The truth of the matter was that Tray simply didn’t feel as though he belonged with these people. Not that he was out of their league, but that they were out of his league. So when it came to the party, one of the biggest reasons why he was there in the first place was because the entire school was invited so if he were the only person to not appear, it would have given him a bad name, which would have caused a little bit of a ruckus between the social groups. The last thing Tray wanted was to be at the root of any drama.

However, it seemed as though drama was just one thing he couldn’t seem to avoid. Tray wouldn’t have said it aloud, but he considers himself to be a good looking guy. As do many of the girls at school. He’s too shy to make a move on anyone and the fact that Raquel liked him and went for him in the first place was a tad shocking to him, but he appreciated her efforts because now things are working to his advantage. Although, when Katherine approached him and the others he was standing around with, Trayson was taken aback a little. He wasn’t quite sure how to react in a way that wouldn’t jeopardize his newfound relationship with Raquel and wouldn’t insult Katherine all in one fell swoop. He was flattered that there was an attraction drawn towards him all of a sudden but Tray wasn’t sure how to react with the newfound glory.

When the talk of shots came, Tray immediately felt uncomfortable. He didn’t drink, he didn’t smoke, he didn’t dabble in any kind of drugs ever. He wasn’t even entirely sure he liked the taste of alcohol. ”Oh, no thanks.” Tray kindly declined. ”I actually don’t drink.” But the decline didn’t seem to matter as it appeared that no one was truly listening to him speak. They didn’t care if he didn’t drank, they were going to drink and they wanted Tray to join in the fun with them. They weren’t necessarily peer pressuring him, they were just oblivious to his answer if it was anything other than ”hell yeah!” or ”one more!” Tray rubbed on the back of his neck, thinking of a way to get out of having to down shots. Not seconds later, Sam was muttering ”one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor” in his ear. An uncomfortable chuckle came from Tray as he turned to see Raquel joining the group. She clung to his arm and he thought this would be enough to get him away from the shots, but when he turned to see the girl ordering shots, he wasn’t quite sure. Then came Sam’s comment which sent him into a deep red blush. ”The prize is the spot next to Tray in bed tonight, and it looks like Kat’s taking the lead.” Tray wasn’t quite sure how to respond other than turning bright red. He wasn’t going to doubt that he thought Katherine was cute, but he and Raquel were a thing now. He was committed to her and he wasn’t going to break that. Tray was getting more and more uncomfortable as time went by. “Maybe one shot wouldn’t hurt.” He said quietly, darting looks from Raquel to Sam to Kat. He gently smiled at Katherine, unaware that it made him seem as though he was flirting with her. He took a step towards her, reaching for a shot, then looked back to invite Raquel and Tyler. ”Well? You guys comin’?” Tray took a shot from Katherine and winked at her before putting the glass to his lips and cocking his head back so the liquid would make its way down quicker and easier. He shook his head and took a deep inhale when he pulled the shot glass away from his lips. “Holy shit!” He caught himself in a coughing fit for a few seconds after his first ever shot, which was only slightly embarrassing to say as a high school senior. He took a deep breath and chuckled a little. He caught eye contact with Kat, which caused him to start laughing. Tray smiled at Katherine, momentarily forgetting that he wasn’t alone with her.

A smirk came to Lennox as quickly as it disappeared. He knew that at this moment he had ‘won.’ Perhaps it was not in the way he necessarily wanted, but he wanted Olivia all to himself. He wanted her to like him as much as he liked her, but he knew that in the end it was all a matter of time. Maybe she would never like him as much as he liked her, and he came into contact with the reality of that thought but he knew that with time, Olivia would warm up to him and perhaps they could be closer in one way or another. He was close with her best friend, as she was also his best friend, so he figured why could he not be as close to Liv as he was with Kat? To him, there was little difference in their relationships. The only difference was the romantic attraction quite honestly. Lennox allowed for a genuine smile to spread across his lips, bringing them ear to ear. He pulled her hands closer to him but separated them to wrap around his shoulder. Lennox wrapped his arms around Olivia’s waist and lightly picked her up and twirled her before setting her down and kissing her forehead. He gently held onto her cheeks as he looked her deep in her beautiful blue-green eyes. “Olivia Ellison, you’ve just made me the happiest guy on earth.” He let go of her cheeks and pulled her hand back into his. He put her palm against his chest and caressed it with his hands. “And I promise you, I will find James someone just as lovely as you to go to the dance with him.” He smiled kindly on the outside, but inside was a menacing smirk.

By the time that the shots were on the bar top, Sam and Angel were walking away, and Tray and a few other A-list guys were the only ones left. Raquel was approaching, but Katherine didn't have any sort of relationship with her to where her presence would be noteworthy. That was what she assumed, at least, since she didn't know that she and Tray were friends, or actually more than friends until two of the shots were finished off and she was waiting for Tray to take at least one of the two remaining ones. And then Raquel appeared, and latched on to Tray like he was her boyfriend or something. It had Kat's eyes narrowing for just a second. Maybe it was all of the alcohol from earlier, but it didn't automatically click to her that Raquel and Tray were anything. Tray was an A-lister and she was... she was one of those drama weirdos, Katherine thought. At that moment, she couldn't even remember what clique the girl belonged to, but whatever it was, it wasn't one that was good enough for her to be hanging around them. It wasn't even like Trayson was the most coveted boy in the A-list group, and he had never really caught Katherine's eye before, but tonight she was definitely appreciating that sharp jawline as she looked him over.

Sam probably would have been her first pick of the night, but Angel on his hip was a deterrent. Katherine wasn't fluent in this type of stuff, so she wanted something easy to prove to Normani and Olivia that she was capable of being just as boy crazy as they were. Angelina wasn't competition to her in a lot of ways, at least not since her fall from grace, and in reality, they didn't have any real bad blood, but Kat knew that the girl was more well versed in sex than she was, so at least here, Kat felt like she would be fighting a losing battle. Trayson had seemed like an easier target, so Raquel clinging to him was disheartening, and more than that, confusing. Maybe it wasn't just that that put Katherine off. The way that Trayson was clearly a novice when it came to shots had her wrinkling her nose. Her own expertise in alcohol was nothing to boast about, considering it wasn't like she knew alcohol well enough to respect her tolerance limit ever... and more than half of the nights when she drank, a good portion of her alcohol ended up being thrown up by midnight. Still, it made her wrinkle her nose. She wasn't looking for some experienced, Christian Grey, but maybe Trayson belonged with the lower level girls like Raquel. At the same time... that jawline... and his cute laugh... and the way their eyes met when he finished the shot... It had Kat smiling and laughing a little on her own.

But then Raquel just had to ruin the moment, trying to join in on the fun, and it brought Kat back to reality. "We weren't talking about anything," she answered, a bit coldly as she looked the girl up and down. "Nothing that you should be worried about, at least." With the unwelcoming comments out, she decided that she was over this conversation and Tray (for now, at least). Her exit from the group would have seemed more graceful had the alcohol not taken her surprise, and she not had to clutch onto one of the guys a few feet away as she nearly lost her balance. She adjusted herself to the fuzziness and the way that the ground felt like it was tilting back and forth a little. It was a feeling she disliked, but one she knew well enough to be functional during... at least so long as she didn't take any more shots for the night.

If she had seen Normani on the other side of the bar, she would have flocked to her first, but she didn't, and as she slowly walked away from the bar, she found Olivia and Lennox and headed in their direction. "Excuse me, Lennox Atwood! That ugly bitch Raquel is clearly obsessed, like stalker level obsessed with that boy you said thought I was cute, so I want Sam for tonight. Liv, tell Mani that Angel said something bad about her so she kicks her out. She's gonna get in my way."

Olivia never thought of herself as the romantic type, but Lennox was good at this. He had to be in order to have her smiling in the way she was. And it really was genuine. She was only second guessing saying yes to Lennox because she really didn't want to hurt Jameson's feelings, but she was happy and this felt right. It wasn't like she had suddenly fallen head over heels for Lennox in a matter of two minutes, because Olivia just wasn't the kind of girl to invest herself so recklessly like that, but she was definitely happy in his arms, and that was a lot for a girl like her. "I'm really happy too," she admitted to much surprise of herself. She was the kind of girl who would usually respond to an "i love you" from guys with a "thanks". It wasn't in her character to admit any feelings she had, because she didn't want to get hurt, but admitting that she was happy didn't seem too detrimental. "And, thank you. I really do care about him, Knox. I just... you know what I mean when I say that I just see him as a friend. Like you and Kat. It's just... different with some people," She wasn't really sure where she was going with that, but she hoped that Lennox understood what she meant.

Speak of the Devil and he shall appear... Olivia was just glad that she and Lennox had gotten to have their moment (and she didn't even want to call it that) before their mutual friend stumbled over, going off about how annoyed she was about something Knox had told her, and then about wanting Angel kicked out so she could have Sam. She pulled away from Lennox's chest, but kept her hand wrapped around his as she looked at Katherine with a smile, even though the smile was only still on her face because of Knox. Katherine was never hard to read, and that was even truer when the girl was intoxicated, like she clearly was now. The fire dancer show hadn't started yet, which meant that it wasn't even six o'clock, and Katherine was already at a level of intoxication where Olivia had to worry about her. It made her want to groan, but it was so typical of Kat that she wouldn't complain. She just raised an eyebrow and waited for Katherine to finish talking. Immediately, she wanted to blame Hailey, who she had seen Katherine go to the bar with. As stated, Kat always drank too much, but Liv wanted to blame someone for her getting obnoxiously drunk to a point where she was trying to shred Raquel and Angel to pieces for no reason. If Knox didn't know her almost as well, or just as well as Liv did, she would have apologized for Katherine being so... Katherine. She didn't need to though, and that was one more reason why she told herself that it was a good choice to say yes to Knox. "You're not getting anyone kicked out of this party, Katherine. Stop drinking and hang out with Lennox and I for the night, okay? We'll have fun and we'll find you someone other than Sam. There are so many guys here, and I know a million of them will want to hang out with you, right, Knox?" she said, looking towards him for reassurance with a bit of a smirk.

The sound came like the crack of a whip. Out of the thin air, Lennox could hear the shrill, intoxicated voice of Katherine ringing through the airwaves above his head. The screech came in so clearly that Lennox winced a little, tucking his head into his shoulders and refusing to turn around to a possibly red in the face monster he called Kat. His conversation with Olivia was cut short. All he wanted was to be able to explain to Olivia just how much she meant to him. He understood they were just friends, but the connection they had could have allowed for something so much deeper than just friends. He knew, also, that his friendly relationship was nothing compared to Olivia’s friendly relationship with James. Olivia and Lennox were just a bit closer because of their mutual relationship with the ever so lovely (and yelling) Katherine. Had the two not been connected by this single strand, it’s very possible that James would have been the winning choice for Olivia today and every day. Although she was ready to rip off his head, Lennox was very glad that he and Kat were best friends.

Before Lennox could answer Olivia’s stumbling phrase, Kat was interrupting the two. Olivia had moved her hand from Knox’s chest to his hand. He held on firmly, not wanting to lose her at any second. He felt her warmth in his hand and it made him smile. It felt right to him, holding onto her hand like this. It felt like it was meant to be. For a second, it even put him in a trance and it wasn’t until Olivia started talking to Kat that he snapped back into reality. He smiled at Olivia and nodded in agreeance to whatever she was saying to Kat. “Yeah, listen Kat, you don’t want Sam. He’s a fuck boy. Steer clear of that. As for Tray, the guy must be dumb or something because letting that lowlife girl cling to him like he’s her life line is just sad and pathetic. If you want him, I’ll get him for you, but you don’t want a nasty guy like Sam.” Of course Lennox and Sam were friends, but Lennox honestly did believe that Sam was a fuck boy. The kid just ran from girl to girl and he wasn’t quite sure what kind of STD’s were being shared by him. This, of course, was nothing he would mention aloud. Right now, it just sounded like a joke coming from Lennox to make his best friend feel better but Lennox believed a big chunk of it was the truth. He smiled at Olivia again, giving a light squeeze to her hand, and then looked back at Kat. “Just stick with us and you’ll be solid.”

Being told to stop drinking and to third wheel with Olivia and Lennox for the night was the last thing that Katherine wanted to hear. She was already intoxicated but the party had just started, so the idea of spending the rest of the night without a drink in hand didn't sound attractive. Plus, Lennox was the one who set her up for failure with Trayson. It wasn't like she had really tried with Tray, but Kat was used to things being handed to her, and she didn't want to have to find some weirdo for him. He was really attractive, but she wasn't that invested in the pursuit. It wasn't like she could get Sam either, though. Angelina definitely seemed like bigger competition than Raquel did, so if she wasn't going to fight for Tray, she definitely didn't see herself fighting for Sam. But she wanted someone tonight. She wanted a boy who she didn't have to compete for, and yet she wanted him to still be cute, and also wealthy, an A-lister, and someone who, in general, would abide by her unnecessarily high standards.

"I actually don't want Trayson or Sam," she decided, linking her arm with Olivia's free one. "I'll find one a million times better than both of them, but if I don't, then you guys have to promise to get rid of Angel and Raquel so I can pick who I want, okay?" she demanded, pushing her hair behind her shoulder as she tried to collect herself again. "So did you ask Liv to go to the dance with you, Knox?" she said, turning to him as she pulled the two farther down the beach, towards the dance floor. "I told him he should take you to Disneyland and ask you there, but obv he didn't do that because you would have invited me, right?" She looked from Knox, to Liv, and then back to Knox, as if her not getting an invitation to a potential Disneyland trip was going to be enough to her to end her friendship with both of them. By now, Kat didn't care about being a third wheel, but once they reached the dance floor and she spotted Normani and some other A-list girls she knew, she was over Olivia and Lennox. They were too boring, and as soon as she unlinked arms with Olivia, she grabbed a drink from the bar and made her way onto the dance floor. Was she really that drunk, or was Mani actually dancing next to, or with Ian?! First this Daniel phase, and now she was into IAN? Kat was sure that Mani was on drugs. What other excuse could there be?

Tray wasn’t very sure of what to do at the moment. He had wanted to let loose and hang out – he wanted to be the person everyone thought he couldn’t be but he knew that if he didn’t go after Raquel as she was leaving he’d lose her. Well, that’s not entirely true. He didn’t know that. He had assumed that if he let her go, she wouldn’t be quite the same girl with him anymore. Tray’s only problem at this point was being a lightweight. That one shot hit him in just the right place and having never had a drop of alcohol before was affecting him in a different way right now. He knew what the right thing to do was but he wasn’t really sure if he was capable of doing it at this point. All he could think about was taking another shot. His judgement was clouded and slowly, Tray was turning into the kind of guy all of his other friends were. He could hear behind him some of the Lacrosse guys chanting, “Shot! Shot! Shot! Shot!” but he could see ahead of him Raquel walking away. She and Tyler walked away from the house together. Tray knew he would never hear the end of it if he didn’t go after her, so he did. He ran after Raquel and Tyler but all he could catch up with was the exhaust fumes her car had left behind. “Shit.” Tray kicked his heel down and ran his hand through his hair as though a desperate movement as such would bring her back to the party. He took his phone out to text her but just as he got it unlocked one of his teammates rushed over to him and pulled him back towards the party.

He downed shot after shot before realizing that he was about 4 or 5 shots in. For a lightweight, he was doing pretty well for himself. Surprisingly, he could still stand. Which was more than could be said of some his buddies. Tray was in the party mood now. His mind was no longer racing, it was no longer pounding at the inside of skull, the voices that drove him crazy with wild thoughts no longer had a voice inside of his head. He had found a new outlet, it wasn't a healthy one but this was a feeling Tray wanted back. This was a feeling Tray didn't want to escape him. As Tray stumbled his way through crowds of people he found one person that he wanted the attention of. Something had come over Tray that turned him into a different person. He wasn't the sweet kid he normally was, he had gone blank in the eyes and there seemed to be no more soul left in him. He stumbled his way over to Katherine, Lennox, and Olivia. They stood together in as little a circle three people could make. Katherine," He spoke, grabbing the attention of the others. "Hey, listen. I think you're cute and I'm a little drunk so I have more courage to say this than I normally would but do you want to go dance with me over there?" He said, pointing behind him to where the DJ was. He grinned warmly at her, but inside there was a lustful feeling.
