      Trey isn’t one of the tallest guys in his grade, or in his friend group, but he doesn’t mind standing at only five-foot-eleven because he feels as though his athleticism makes up for the lack of height. Trey’s trapezium, mesomorphic body weighs merely 172lbs but most of which is pure muscle. He has a smaller scale body but it is still very obvious that Trey is an athlete from the general form of his body. His figure is fairly slim compared to some of his jock buddies but he holds just as much muscle percentage as the rest due. Along with his muscular body, are the rest of his features that can attract nearly anyone in his personal opinion. His face is a strong square shape that accentuates his entire appearance. He's got a jawline of what some might call a God and he also had this tendency to clench it a lot which makes it just that much more defined. His grayish blue eyes often draw attention to his dark brown hair and his high sitting cheek bones. Treys smile is another aspect of him that he really finds mentionable and memorable; his teeth are perfectly aligned from the years of braces and they're just as white as they are straight.

      Trey has a sense of fashion to follow both his personality and his physicality. He prefers to just dress casually and has a sense of simplicity in his attire most days. Jeans and tee shirts take up most of TR's closet and drawers but that's not to say that he doesn't know how to dress up and make himself more than presentable. Although he really enjoys staying simple in his attire, he does know how to make it look good. Usually, Trey will sport some type of polo, plain tee shirt, or a simple button down with a pair of chinos or jeans. He doesn’t like to draw a lot of attention to his attire because growing up all he’s ever known was simple living and thus far, he’s stuck to the trend. A typical outfit of Trey’s might look something like this. However, when Trey does have to dress up, like say for Game Day or a special function, he does clean up nicely. He might borrow a tux or a suit from Greg (see history) or he’ll pull something together from his closet, which might result in a business causal outfit like this.

      He doesn't have any tattoos or piercings but he often thinks about ones he might want to get. He has a few scars scattered throughout his body from injuries from sports. A couple of beauty marks are also scattered across his arms, chest, back, and legs but Trey has no outstanding mole or large mark that takes up majority of a body area. His athleticism keeps his body in shape which keeps Trey in an overall healthy shape. He has no major physical disabilities, other than the occasional insomnia. Trey’s overall physical attractiveness can be rated fairly high is one is to scale from a one to ten. He’d probably give himself a 12 but ask around and most people might give him an 8 or a 9.

      ✦ Opinionated ✧ Pugnacious ✦ Anxious ✧ Blunt ✦


      Trey is a character of sorts. He's got so many sides to him - not that they're all bad. He's a complex person who tries so hard to stay simple to no avail. He has a hard time staying sane some of the times trying to keep up with his own thoughts and actions. On the outside, Trey can seem like mister tough guy. At a quick glance, he can come off as arrogant or as a douche bag but that's not always necessarily true. He puts on a very big front and almost always refuses to let anyone see what he truly is like deep down.

      That being said, Trey is a lot more sensitive than he will make himself seem. He grew up with a rough childhood and it can sometimes reflect on him. He's a fairly gentle guy but will give off the vibe of being a very big tool. But that's also not to say that Trey doesn't have his bad side. As kind as he can be, he also has his moments of blind rage where if someone ticks off that very last nerve of his, he will go red in the face with steam flowing steady out of his ears. He's the type of guy to hold grudges and hold them forever - he and his father don't talk anymore because of it.

      It takes TR a while to trust people and even when you think he's begun to trust you, he could still be very skeptical of you and your relationship with him. He's learned from a very young age to be on his own and to not rely on anyone other than himself so he's a pretty independent person. He won't depend on anyone and often times he can get a little stressed because of it. He's been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety and at times it shows. Trey has a bad habit of ruining every good thing that's come his way because of it. He doesn't do it intentionally, he's just so used to everyone leaving and things going wrong that he'd rather beat it to the chase. He'd rather hurt than get hurt.

      Although Trey has been through a lot he would still put the lives of others before his own. He helps a lot within his community with the less fortunate and the kids with disabilities at school. He wouldn't let anyone know because he hates seeming vulnerable and he believes that this soft side to him will him just that but he's more than he seems. He's had to grow up quickly and he's matured long before he's needed to. But now he's helping those in need to let others bask in their innocence longer than he was able to. He's got thought edges but he's a smooth guy on the inside.

      Part of this front that Trey has put on for the entirety of his life can be pretty detrimental to most of his relationships in life. He’s been single for quite a while because he can’t get into the emotional aspect of it. He’s been around the block a few times, so to say but that’s pretty much the only thing one’s going to get from him. He very often unintentionally destroys anything good that comes to him mostly because he’s simply not used to any good coming to his life. His rough home life often gets in the way of his normal life living.

      Trey realizes that what he’s doing to himself is destroying who he is. He’s often lonely and he feels as though he’s failed in life. He wants to be a better person and tries hard to overcome his insecurities but he doesn’t succeed very often. He pushes away from people who care about him, or he doesn’t give people enough time to get close enough to care. He essentially destroys everything he has before he actually has it. He thinks it’s best if he doesn’t slow anyone else down by letting them get too close. Trey almost thinks he’s doing everyone else a favor. The worst part is that most people don’t see what they’re doing when they do something like this but Trey is very conscious of his actions. He’s hurting himself by doing this and he doesn’t really know how to change it.

      Spending habits Trey has a jar where he puts all his spare change. He and his brother don’t buy anything more than what they need because money isn’t something they have an excess of.
      Drugs/Alcohol As an athlete, drugs aren’t the type of things Trey should be messing with. He drinks occasionally with Greg, casually, but he doesn’t often get drunk. He needs to stay sober to take care of his brother and to stay on the team, and that includes any type of smoking.

W E A K N E S S E S

      JT Jamison gives Trey a soft spot and he’s sensitive to his needs or to his mentioning. Don’t mess with JT around Trey or you might not make it to tomorrow.
      His Family Trey swears it by him that he doesn’t have a family anymore. He just has JT and Greg. This is another sensitive subject to him.
      His Anxiety Trey’s anxiety is always getting the best of him and showing the worst of him. He hates having anxiety – he feels it slows him down a lot.

S T R E N G T H S

      JT Jamison is what makes Trey the happiest. Seeing his brother have a good day, seeing his brother safe and knowing he’s taken good care of, it makes Trey happy. JT keeps Trey going.
      His Father Believe it or not, but ever since his father ran out on him and Jamison, Trey has never tried harder to be everything his father was not. The fact that his father abandoned him made him strive to be better.

G O A L S

      ✦ Free himself of his repressed sorrow and anger
      ✧ Bring awareness to mental disorders and their treatments
      ✦ To fully care for and support his brother and himself

A S P I R A T I O N S

      ✦ Be the founder of an organization dedicated to helping those in need and those living with mental disorders/disabilities
      ✧ Get into a good college and graduate

      Traysons past is not one that he discusses with anyone. This is perhaps one of the most secretive parts of him – he knows that if he were to share such intimate details of his life it can be used against in the worst possible ways, or even in ways unintended to be harmful that still result in catastrophe.

      From what he can remember, he used to have a happy childhood. He and his family lived in Arizona for quite some time before moving to California. Trey went to a prestige private school for several years, until his mother got sick. When Trey was younger, he idolized his father and wanted to follow down his pathway, scoring a dream of owning his own chain of restaurants but things quickly changed. Trey lived a happy life, until everything went to shit that is. He lived as an only child for just a few years; at the young age of four, he was introduced to a growing belly and was told it was his newest sibling. 9 months later he was again introduced to the same sibling, only this time it wasn’t a belly, it was a little boy named Jamison. For the first few years of their lives as brothers, everything was joyful. However, by the time Trayson was turning 7, his mother was very sick with cancer. Jamison was only 3 at the time and didn’t retain much of what was happening in the moment. Though Victoria, the boys’ mother, kept fighting strong for 5 years, she passed away when her boys were just 12 and 8.

      At first the boys’ father stayed strong and supported the family through tough times. He took over their mother’s roles and played both mom and dad for the now family of three. As the years went by however, things got more difficult. When Jamison turned 10 years old he was diagnosed with very early onset schizophrenia. The responsibilities became too much for Clark Garrison, the father, and he abandoned his boys a year later and left them to fend for himself; where he is currently living is unknown to the boys nor do they care to find out. At the barely ripe age of 15, Trey and his brother, Jamie, were living on the streets with no shelter, no food, no money, and no means to find their way. Jamie’s schizophrenia was worsening without medication and the boy’s father was nowhere to be found.

      The two lived on their own for 18 months before Trey was able to get a job as a dishwasher for a restaurant. The boy saved his money in order to afford medications for his brother but was barely able to afford enough to feed himself. Noticing the boy was always dressed in rags and smelled grungy, Trey’s manager decided to follow him to his house – discovering the boy was homeless and taking care of his brother on his own, he asked Trey one day what his home life was like. Trey lied and said that his father had lost his job so things were tight and that was why he was working so often, to help pay for his brother’s medication and treatment. The manager weeks later gave Trey an envelope and told the boy it dropped off by an anonymous man and he had no idea what was in it. Trey opened the envelope once he was with his brother to discover a few bulks of hundred dollar bills, a signed lease, and a key to a small apartment outside of Beverly Hills in Beverly wood with a note attached reading: This money is for rent, for food, and for anything you need to take care of. The key and lease is to your new apartment. Take care of yourself and of him. – Your friend. Trey thanked his manager upon seeing his name on the lease.

      Trey worked for Greg as a dishwasher for a few more months, then got promoted to cook, then to server. Trey continues to work for Greg in his restaurant but now works for him as a server and bartender. Greg quickly became a father figure for the two boys and check in on them often. He helped them get back in a good place and helped them get back into school. He encourages Trey to be the best he can be and to continue fighting for what and those he loves. He’s been supporting Trey in his journey to start an organization to help those in need.

      Today, Trey lives differently from his Upper Middle Class life and now sits alone in his lower middle class life that not many of his classmates know about. His life is left pretty private from others because he fears that someone will take his brother from him if they find out. He lives with just his brother in a small apartment not too far from the school that Greg pays for. The two never grew up with any pets but Trey considers getting a service dog for JT often because of his disability. With the money Greg lent him, Trey was able to buy a used Jeep. He still works for Greg at the restaurant after school and on the weekends.

How has your year been for you thus far?
“The year is always rough for me. I have a lot to do between work, school, and my brother but I don’t know… I guess we’ll have to wait and see how it all goes.”
What are you most looking forward to this year?
“I think I’m mostly looking forward to just graduating and getting the rest of my life started, you know? I just need to get to the next level”
How do you feel about Spirit Week? Which day out of the week is your favorite?
“I don’t mind it. As an athlete I have to involve myself in it, but I wouldn’t go to say I have any favorites about it.”
What group or clique are you part of and how do you feel about them?
“I take part of the jock group so I’m in with the A-Listers. I don’t know if I belong in the A-Listers per say but being part of the athletics is what keeps me going so I’m not going to complain.”
Are you happy with your place on the social ladder? Or would you like to be a part of any other clique, if so, which and why?
“Like I said, can’t say for sure if I belong but I’m not going to fight it. If I were to put myself somewhere other than the jocks it’d probably be the loners. I don’t really make myself seen a lot and I think people only know me because I’m on the team.”
So what does your schedule look like this year?
“Well, my GPA is a 3.73 right now so I’m taking a few classes to keep that grade up because I need to get into a good school – hopefully by scholarship.”

"Good point," Sam nodded when Angelina explained that they couldn't just do it right there. "I guess I can wait a few hours until the sun goes down and the darkness gives us some much needed privacy," he whispered, tightening his grip on her waist. He still had his whiskey in his hand, so he waited while she ordered her drink, but couldn't help but to chuckle when he heard her order. "There we go, getting the mood ready," he grinned at the drink's moniker, "Sex on the Beach". He was going to suggest that they go over to one of the lounges, like the one he had been in with Chris, but was interrupted by Trayson and a few jocks coming over, followed by Katherine, and then Raquel and Tyler. "Kitty Kat over here is right, Garrison," he started, placing his whiskey down on the bar to nudge Trayson closer to the model. His other hand was still wrapped around Angelina, and putting down the whiskey was definitely a better option than releasing her. He leaned closer to Tray, muttering "One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor," with a sly wink. "You guys should see who can take four tequila shots the fastest. You think you can beat him, Kat?" Sam was a master at pushing people into things that they didn't want to do, but he wasn't even working his manipulative charm tonight. If anything, he felt like he was helping Trayson by orchestrating the first steps to getting Katherine naked for him. He'd give his "friend of the year" award a week to reach him in the mail.

When Raquel and Tyler walked over, Sam recalled that Raquel was the girl that hung around Trayson frequently. He was sure he had heard something about some homecoming proposal involving the two too, but wasn't sure. Katherine was definitely going to be a better score for him over Raquel. A Royal verse a Virtuoso was going to end with Kat winning without a doubt. Well, that would have been the case if Tray was a normal guy, at least. Sam didn't know anything really about Tray's past, but he did know that sometimes, the guy seemed like a stick in the mud. This was just one more reason for why he should be thanking Sam for giving him the push he clearly needed to steer him in the better direction, towards the better girl for him. "Raquel, you should join in with them. They're seeing who can take four tequila shots the fastest. The prize is the spot next to Tray in bed tonight, and it looks like Kat's taking the lead," he said, nodding towards the girl who was ordering shots at the bar.

Angel was used to him being this way, but with a girl like her on his arm, he didn't need to waste his time getting under other people's skin. "Should we head over to one of the lounges? I'm still curious about what you were doing all night yesterday, and I've got all night to hear your explanation."

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."

She could literally feel the tension in the air as she came up and grabbed Tray's hand. The looks from the people surrounding let her know that she was quite unwanted around this group of people but she didn't care at this point. Trayson was going to be hers and hers alone and she damn sure wanted the other Royal bitches to know it. Of course, she wasn't going to fight over a guy, if anyone else want him, they can have him. Raquel looked at Tyler with scrunched up look as he let out a slight chuckle. They were clearly unwanted around this type of environment.

Hearing Sam talk about everyone taking shots and then having him ask her to join, she shook her head. Raquel wasn't much of a drinker, let alone and party goer as she is now. Her eyes cut towards Sam as she smiled sweetly then uttered. "No, thanks. I hardly drink." She said then looked at Tray just as he commented one drink couldn't hurt. Raquel laughed a little then looked at Katherine as she spoke a bit coldly to her.

"Well, no need to be rude, Madam." Tyler said while stepping in front of Raquel and defending her. "We just came over to simply speak with Trayson and try to mingle around with the others." He continued just as she walked away and nearly falling over. "Hmph. Serves her right." Tyler muttered just as Tray called them over to the bar. "My hero." Raquel said while leaning up and kissing Tyler on the cheek, again. "Ugh. Her actions were rude. Girl, I hate rude people." He said as he walked alongside with Raquel over to the bar with Trayson.

Once over there, they looked at Tray just as took a shot, cursing afterwards. Raquel would glance occasionally at Katherine then back at Tray. "Hey, you look worried." Tyler whispered towards her as she laughed but it seemed a bit off. "I'm fine. Totally fine." She lied, of course as she took a shot herself and chugged it down, coughing a bit too. "Wow. Didn't expect that." She said while looking at Trayson then back in the direction of Katherine.

"Uhm, we should go, Tyler." Raquel said a bit softly towards him as he nodded his head and without hesitation, got up and place his sunglasses over his eyes. "Yeah, we should." He commented as she looked at Tray with a smile. "You can stay if you want but obviously, we're not wanted here. See you later?" She said as she waited for a reply. When Tray was to reply, she'd link her arm with Tyler's as they walked off from the bar and the beach, going back towards her car. "Musicals and Ice Cream?" Tyler questioned. "On the double." She remarked while looking back down at the party from where they were standing, a light breeze would blow a few locks of hair in her face before she turned heel and continued on walking away.

"No need to worry yourself about that, Raquel. Trayson likes you, okay? Besides, he's taking a Virtuoso to Homecoming not some Royal. Shouldn't that let you know anything?" Tyler tried to talk some sense into her but she just shook her head and got inside of her car, fixing to close the door but Tyler grabbed a hold of it. "Raquel. Don't worry." She nodded her head but her face told the story. Tyler sighed and raised a hand up to rubbed his temple. "What a day." He muttered while getting into the vehicle now and buckling up his seat belt. Raquel cranked up her car but waited a few before driving off.

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.
