Aiden Thompson

(Posted Image) (Posted Image)

Age/Grade: 21 - n/a

Ever since Aiden was born in Atlanta, Georgia on April 9, 1988, his life had pretty much been centered around basketball. His father lost his opportunity to be a big basketball star when he blew out his knee in his first ever college basketball game. Because of this, his dad has been pressuring basketball on Aiden all his life. Don’t get him wrong, Aiden loves the game, but sometimes his dad can get a bit overbearing. In is freshman year, Aiden broke the school scoring record for an entire season, in less than half of the season. This one game ended up bringing in scouts from all the colleges in the area trying to get him to come to their schools. When Aiden’s invitation to Clayton Academy arrived in the mail, it wasn’t even a question on whether or not he was going to attend. His father had already written back to the school before he even told Aiden about it.

Aiden has on older brother, Craig, who is five years older then him. His parents got divorced once his dad found out that Aiden’s mom had been having an affair with one of her co-workers. His mom didn’t even bother trying to get custody of Aiden because she honestly couldn’t have cared less about him, and Jackson decided to leave with her because he hated his father so much. Two years later, when he was 11, Aiden’s father married Marissa Davis, the mother of Laci Davis. It was a pretty typical step-family. Aiden’s dad didn’t like Laci; Laci’s mom didn’t like Aiden, but with the two kids, it was completely different. Laci and Aiden grew up through middle school together, and ended up getting really close.

Aiden was pretty much the typical jock, popular guy during his freshman year. Parties, beer, sex, and more beer were pretty much how he usually spent his weekends. His dad and step mom were usually out ignoring their kids, so they had free reign to do whatever they wanted. Because of his man-whoring abilities, Aiden has never had a real girlfriend in his life. Random hookups, tons. Anything meaningful, never. That was, until he met Jennifer Teague - a shy tutor girl. After some of their very own drama, and a catfight that he rather enjoyed, the two ended up getting together.

But just because they finally got together, that didn't mean everything was going to be easy. They had their fights, but they managed to get passed them, and a year later, Aiden proposed, and they were engaged. After the proposal, Jen left on a study abroad program, and when she got back, things were pretty stable for them. Then Jen found out she was pregnant. The pregnancy started out great; they were both happy about it. But then Jen had a miscarriage, and all hell broke loose after that. Both he and Jen went into depressions. Aiden turned to performance enhancing drugs since the depression was causing him to do worse in basketball. He and Jen got in many arguments, and it just really wasn't a good time. Jen started getting closer to some other guy, Brady Matthews, and that just cause Aiden to get even worse.

All of this culminated to one night. It was one night where Jen was over at Brady's house, and Aiden was at the apartment. Aiden took a few more of his performance enhancers than usual, and Jen slipped up and ended up kissing Brady. She broke that off, came home, and there she found Aiden unconscious from an accidental overdose. That night seemed to destroy everything, but in fact, it was the opposite that happened. Granted, the night was terrible, but in the end it was the first step for them finally getting back to their old selves. They were at rock bottom, and there was nowhere else to go but up.

And they did start to rebuild their relationship, and everything sort of fell into place after that. The wedding was still on, and they got married on March 16, 2008. Since then, things were going great until Aiden's dad showed up. His dad did not like Jen at all, seeing her as something to distract him from the important things in like- basketball and fame. This anti-Jen movement of his dad had been going on since they started dating, but attempt was the last straw. He had hired a PI to stalk Jen and catch her, hopefully, cheating on Aiden. He ended up with a picture of Jen that he thought was incriminating, but it wasn't. Aiden, who had been living on the never-ending back account his dad had given him, told his dad he didn't want him in his life anymore. Aiden's dad threatened to take away the money, and Aiden said he was fine with it. Now, without any money, Aiden and Jen have been looking for jobs, being helped money-wise by his brother, Craig, who just moved to Wilmington also.

Laci Andrews

(Posted Image) (Posted Image)

Age/Grade: 20 / Junior in College

Laci was born in Austin, Texas. She lived there until around when she turned seven, which was when her father passed away. Causing her mother to take Laci and herself and move to Atlanta, Georgia. Laci had always done well in school. It wasn’t so much that she liked it, it kept her busy, and out of trouble. She took all honors classes through middle school.

When Laci was ten, her mother married Andrew Thompson, who was the father of Aiden Thompson. Laci wasn’t sure what to think of Andrew or Aiden when they were first married. All Andrew wanted was for Aiden to be a basketball star, and that’s all Aiden wanted to do. Andrew grew to hate Laci and her good grades, and Laci grew to hate him back. Her and Aiden on the other hand, have a very good brother/sister relationship.

Laci was invited to attend Clayton Academy at the beginning of her freshman year, a year after Aiden had been invited. She accepted so she could, for one: get away from her mother and step-father. And for two: be around Aiden again. Laci pretty much hung around her older step-brother all the time. He basically passed on all his habits onto her. On weekends she’d go to parties with Aiden, drink, get randomly hit on, and randomly hook up with guys. But it was the life, and something Laci didn’t ever want to give up. Even with what she did in her spare time, she still kept her grades up.

During Laci’s sophomore year, she met Jennifer Teague; a fellow intellect. Jen was shy, and almost a complete opposite of Laci. But as they say, opposites attract. Jen and Laci were almost inseparable since the time that they met. Now in her junior year at Clayton Academy, not many things have changed – Laci-wise. She still followed through with her whole ‘random hookup’ scenario. That was, anyways, until she met Jeremy Andrews. Laci knew right away that there was something different about this boy. He wasn’t like any other guy; Laci felt something she had never felt before with Jeremy. She had actual feelings for him. Laci knew that she was ready for something new, and she was almost ready to let her past go.

Jeremy ended up being Laci’s first real boyfriend. Soon enough, Laci realized that she was in love with Jeremy. Or at least, what she thought was love at that moment. Like any relationship, they had their share of bumps in the road. Of course, there were a few things that the both of them could’ve done without, like Laci randomly getting drunk and cheating on Jeremy. He ended up forgiving her, and she was forever grateful for that. With all the other fights they’ve had, each and every one of them ended up bringing the two closer to one another. After Laci and Jeremy had been together about a year, they got into a fight that had Laci thinking it might’ve been the end. But little did she know; she was wrong. Very wrong about the whole thing, actually. Jeremy returned to her dorm late that night, and Laci wasn’t sure if she wanted to see him right then and there.

She ended up letting him in, and simple telling him to prove that he loved her, and only her. And that was exactly what Jeremy did. Laci watched in shock as Jeremy got down on one knee, pulling out a beautiful engagement ring. He then spoke two words, two simple words; “Marry me.”

At first, Laci didn’t have a damn idea what she should say to him. Until she finally realized that Jeremy was the one she wanted to be with for the rest of her life. She didn’t care she was only sixteen; she didn’t care what anyone else thought about it. All she cared about was that she got to be with the one that she loved for the rest of her life; forever. And although the proposal wasn’t exactly how Laci expected hers to be, she wouldn’t go back and change it for the world.

Jeremy and Laci began planning the wedding, and all the wedding related events. They had an engagement party, which started off great. It wasn’t until afterwards that things started to get rough for the two again. Here they were, engaged, about to be married, and fighting. Jeremy’s whore of an ex – girlfriend (who just so happens to attend Clayton Academy) always pops up just when things are starting to get good for the two of them again. After yet another fight, the cause – Katherine, Laci wasn’t so sure if she was ready for marriage, to be a wife. That conversation ended up with both of them hurt, especially when Laci gave Jeremy the ring back.

They spent a few days apart, simply because Laci needed to think things through. Laci’s good friend, Shane O’Conner stopped by to try and make her feel better. He was always good for that. Little did she know, the night was going to end in yet another heart break. Shane ended up telling Laci that he was in love with her; that he had been, for two and a half years. Laci couldn’t believe what she was hearing. After another fight – this one with Shane – Laci had decided that it didn’t matter what anyone else thought, and that she was completely ready to marry Jeremy.

She stopped back by his dorm; a few days after she had given the ring back, apologizing endlessly. Jeremy was one of the few good things left in her life, and she really couldn’t let her being confused ruin it. Laci knew that this engagement wasn’t a mistake. She knew it was the right thing to do. She knew that she wanted to be with the one she loved, the guy that was the one for her for the rest of her life; for as long as she lived.

Now the two of them are happily married. Since Jeremy's in college now, they moved into their own apartment, off campus, with their baby puppy, Haley, and kitten, Brooke. Laci and Jeremy had gotten pregnant, and after nine long months, on April 9th, Laci gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Ryan Steven Andrews.

Age/Grade: 21/Senior in College

Jeremy grew up in a very close knit family as a child. Growing up in a small town back east, he was taught to be trustful and treat everyone he knew with respect. Growing up, Jeremy was always interested in sports. He was the start basketball player for as long as anyone could remember, playing championship games at the age of eight. But when his father cheated on his mother with a woman at his office, Jeremy's out look on life completely changed. Jeremy delt with strong depression after their divorce, and felt a need to always be there for his mother. He devoted his entire life to taking care of her, taking on the rule as the man of the house.

After a couple of years past, he learned to deal with the fact that his father would no longer be in his life. He slowly learned to start letting people in, and gradually started dating. Jeremy met a girl named Kathrine. She was perfect. Captain of the cheerleading squad, president of the school - everyone loved her. They attended games together, considering the fact that Jeremy was the star basketball player and she was the head of the cheerleading squad, they were the talk of the school. Later on, Jeremy's father came back into the picture wanting his mother to take him back. Jeremy would wake up in the middle of the night to raging fights between his mother and father, later resulting in Jeremy needing to call the police. After months of dealing with his father returning every night, his mother decided to move out of state to get away from him.

Jeremy felt like he'd taken ten steps backward, and was now in the exact same spot he'd been when his parents first divorced. As soon as they moved, Jeremy dropped his jock life style, and picked up a paint brush. He constantly went on walks through the city taking pictures of scenery and practically lived in his dark room. He used his artwork as a way to vent with his past. He tried his best to keep in touch with Kathrine, but later found out that as soon as he moved - she moved on. Jeremy kept his entire focus on his studies and his art from then on, not worrying about people, girls, or friends. His main goal was to make it out of Clayton Academy alive, and head straight for college.

On Jeremy’s first night at Clayton, he met Laci Davis. They began to see each other regularly and eventually they had a friends with benefits type thing going on. Jeremy wasn’t ready to jump to the idea of a relationship, and hell, neither was Laci. Eventually though, they ending up actually dating. After a few months of dating, they fell in love. They had their share of ups and downs, though. Laci had cheated on him, not intentionally, and Jeremy’s ex girl friend popped up all over the place.

They always got past everything. That’s how they knew what they had was real, they always got through things together. When they had been together for awhile, Jeremy had been planning to ask Laci to marry him, he just wasn’t sure when he was going to pop the question. He was sure when they had gotten into a big fight, that revolved around his ex-girlfriend. He went to Laci’s dorm, and surprisingly, she said yes.

The couple then began making wedding plans and planned the engagement party and everything. The party turned out great, expect when Jeremy and Laci had went home, they got into another fight. This one resulted in Laci giving Jeremy her ring back. She was scared and she wasn’t sure if she was ready for marriage.

After thinking things over, Laci apologized and things were good for the two of them again. They were married the same date that they had planned on. Now that Jeremy has graduated from highschool and is in college, the two of them live off campus in an apartment with their puppy, Haley, and kitten, Brooke. Laci and Jeremy had gotten pregnant, and after nine long months, on April 9th, Laci gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Ryan Steven Andrews.

Age/Grade: 21/Senior in College

Jennifer Marie Teague was born on May 22, 1988, in Chicago, Illinois, as the fifth child to Anne and Jack Teague. Her parents paid more attention to her older siblings than to her, so she got pretty used to just being left alone. As her brothers and sisters got older and moved away, her parents attempted to give her more attention, seeing as she was the only kid left, but she had grown to prefer doing things on her own and being shy. Though there was one friend she was practically attached to the hip of by the name of Caleigh. She was the best friend the girl had ever had and basically the only one she really had.

Throughout school Jen always got A’s, and didn’t accept a B for anything. Even though she was shy and didn’t like to put herself out there to talk to other people, she started tutoring other students to help them out. Before she started high school, Jen received a letter from Clayton inviting her to attend school there. She wasn’t allowed to go due to the fact that her parents didn’t have the money. So she continued on with high school in Chicago. During her sophomore year, though, she got invited again, and this time her parents actually saved up the money. They had thought this was a way to make up for never treating her exactly the way they should have. She finished up her sophomore year and then started her junior year at Clayton.

Jen, though still extremely shy, ended up meeting Laci Davis through her classes and she became pretty much her best friend at Clayton. Senior year, though, is where things got interesting. She met another girl named Melani Regions, who quickly became another best friend of hers, and that same day met Aiden Thompson. She and Aiden made a deal that day: She tutors him and he helps her get a life. The two of them went on with their deal, she tutored him, then afterwards they’d go out and do something. Things got a little complicated from there on out. Jen started to have feelings for Aiden, him being the first guy she ever liked, but she knew he wouldn’t be interested in any type of relationship, since he just wanted to have “fun.”

Around this time, Jen got word from her parents by way of a letter that Caleigh was involved in a car accident and died. Jen took the news pretty hard and completely blamed herself for it. Caleigh had been on her way to go with Jen's parents to visit Jen, after all. The way she saw it, if she had not have been selfish enough to go to Clayton, it wouldn't have happened. She tried to pretend she was okay at first, and didn't tell anyone what had happened, but it was obviously taking its toll on her. Finally, she opened up to Aiden about it. Afterwards, she was involved in a catfight with Soleil Miles at the Coffee Express, where she vented out her anger as well as showed signs of still liking Aiden. The day after the fight, Jen left for Chicago for Caleigh's funeral, saying she'd only be gone a few days, but she was gone for a couple weeks.

While back in Chicago, Jen tried to make a few changes to herself for the better while she was coping with Caleigh's death. She decided not to be as shy as she once was and to try and cope better with things. She also decided a new look might be refreshing, so she dyed her hair and got a new wardrobe, but all in all, she was still the same Jen. Over those couple weeks in Chicago, she also spent a lot of time with James Johnson, who was Caleigh's cousin. He became sort of a... semi-boyfriend for that time, and they hung out together. But it wasn't a real relationship. They even agreed on that. Well, until he came to Wilmington and tried to make her leave Aiden for him, but that's a story for another time.

Jen came back to Wilmington as good as new, and she even decided she was over Aiden. She was wrong though, which she found out soon. Laci and Aiden threw a warehouse party that Jen attended where she met a guy named Nathan Bennett. This guy was definitely someone she should have stayed away from. He slipped some drugs into her drink and then took her into the back room where he was planning on raping her. Luckily, Laci found them, and then she got Aiden, who saved Jen from Nathan. Aiden took Jen back to his dorm, because her's was locked, and he let her stay the night, and he stayed there with her when she asked him to. It was the next morning while she was there with Aiden that she realized she still wanted to be with him, and it turned out, he wanted that too. It was that day, May 15, 2006, that they became a couple.

Of course, Jen and Aiden's relationship didn't exist without problems. He made out with her cousin, she wanted to go to a college 3000 miles away, James came to town and wanted to be with her, you know the usual drama. There was also the time in November 2006, when Jen's father had a heart attack, and it wasn't looking good for him. She didn't tell anyone and began taking antidepressants. Eventually, she told Aiden and he convinced her to stop taking the pills, and he also said he would go with her to Chicago if she wanted to visit her father. They went there and spent Thanksgiving with Jen's family, even his father because he managed to get out of the hospital just in time, and they all had fun. No matter what the bump in the road was, Jen and Aiden always got over it together.

Not even a month after returning from Chicago, Jen and her friend Laci were involved in a car accident. They both ended up being okay, but at the hospital Jen had to get surgery for a collapsed lung, and while she was recovering and still unconscious, she flatlined for a few minutes. Her heart began beating again, and soon she woke up, and after some time of recovery, she was perfectly fine.

Jen and Aiden continued dating for a few more months until spring break in March of 2007 when Aiden proposed to her. They spent a happily engaged week together before Jen flew off to Spain where she was going to study abroad for a month and a half. While in Spain, Jen managed to cure her, what seemed to be uncureable, stage fright and made a lot of new friends that she continues to keep in touch with.

In June of 2007, Jen and Aiden finally had an engagement party. Jen got to meet Aiden's parents for the first time, and of ourse his father didn't like her. His step-mother seemed to not mind her though. Jen and Aiden decided to sneak off though, and get away from them, and somehow ended up in a closet. Four weeks later Jen found out she was pregnant.

It seemed a child wasn't in the cards for them, though, because after just a couple months of being happily pregnant, and the two of them preparing for the baby, Jen had a miscarriage. The loss devasted Jen and Aiden and basically tore them apart. Aiden went and concentrated on basketball, and even started taking steroids, while Jen went back on her antidepressants, sulked, and eventually began to distract herself with Brady Matthews. The guy had a crush on Jen before, and now it seemed he still did. He and Jen even ended up making out one night, but kissing him made he realize how wrong everything was right now. He was mad because she wouldn't go further with him, and she realized Brady was an asshole. Right after she went home from Brady's, she found Aiden unconscious after overdosing on steroids. She got him to the hospital, and thank God he was okay.

Jen and Aiden got back on track after everything that happened and they even set the date of their wedding, so, then, on March 16, 2008, they were married and went off to honeymoon in Bora Bora. Their relationship has been going quite well ever since. Well, minus the part where Aiden's father still wanted the two of them apart. He tried his best, but failed, and it only ended up taking money away from the couple. But, that won't last long because Aiden is going pro and Jen is extremely proud of her husband.

Anything else: Jen can play the guitar and sing, and she even writes her own songs. Her guitar talent is thanks to Melani Regions, who gave her lessons back when she decided she wanted to play. She's not as shy as she once was, but she does still has her moments. During the last school year she was a TA for Diego Allan and also worked as a student teacher for the kindergarten class at the local elementary school, She has been cheerleading since her freshman year of college, and as of the start of her junior year, she is now captain of the UNCW cheerleading squad.

Brooke Harrison

(Posted Image) (Posted Image)

Age/Grade: 20|| Junior at UNCW

Brooke was born on February 23, 1989 to the parents of Dan and Deb Harrison. Brooke was the baby of the family with one older sister Chloe who was three years older and a older brother, KC who was just a short year older then her. The Harrisons lived in sunny southern California; Dan Harrison was and still is a CEO for a major Hotel in Las Vegas. Deb is a socialite who spends her days shopping, working out, things like that. The kids were given anything their little hearts just couldn’t live without, plus some. Up until the ninth grade, the children went to a small private school on the coast then transferred to John Adam’s High. Going through school Brooke was always in the “in crowd,” rich, beautiful, and popular. She hated the label but knew that people stuck with their clicks. Since Brooke and KC were, only a year apart they stayed close in school. He did sports and she loved music. Brooke could sing and play the guitar a little but was more into owning her own label one day. Her passion for music got her into Clayton with no problem.

When Brooke first arrived at school, she hated it. She felt so out of place and lonely then she started meeting people, a person he was cute, and all but, it seemed like someone else all ready had him. So Brooke really didn’t spend anymore time on that and they just never spoke again. Not long after that she met Dayton Miles, a basketball player from L.A. one day when she got lost they talked and soon became friends. For the most part Brooke asked the most random questions when they were out. Before anything could really happen in that relationship, Brooke had to go home for a good three weeks. It was for family business and her and KC both had to be there. In Vegas KC messed up his leg and didn’t come back to school but Brooke wanted to go back. Coming back to school, she found out that Day moved on and it was alright with Brooke because they were still really close.

After Day, Brooke met Blake, a southern boy who would drive Brooke crazy. When they first met, she told him that she liked bad boys, which wasn’t really the truth she just wanted someone who would treat her right. She told him off one night on the beach then after that they were always running into each other, hotel, parties, music store, etc. then Brooke really started to fall for him. Even know she knew better she just couldn’t help it. One night she was drinking her head was killing her so with out thinking Brooke mixed whiskey with painkillers, just her luck Blake brought her cell phone back and found her. He took care of her and opened up to her a couple days after that. But she also met a guy named Tyson. He was so different then Blake he was sweet, nice, and could give Brooke everything or anything she would need or want. Ty came into the picture when Blake messed up but he didn’t stay out of her life for long. Blake came back and Brooke wanted nothing to do with him. He tried talking to her but she said stay away. Brooke was hurt and mad. Tyson tried to be there for her but it was just one of those things where he really couldn’t. She wrote a couple of songs, one was pieces it was about Blake. Then Blake overdosed and ended up in the hospital. JJ called Brooke, freaked she made her way up there and stayed by his side. When she would take breaks or leave the room, she tried calling Tyson because the two of them had to talk. Because when Blake woke up Brooke and him talked everything out and got back together even know Tyson was still in the picture. One night Tyson walked up on Blake and Brooke. Which ended Tyson and Brooke. She ran off and started drinking. The next day Brooke and Tyson met up to talk and get everything out into the open. He just told her that Blake would end up hurting her again. Sure, enough he was right, she Brooke got back to Blake’s dorm, he seemed like something was wrong and he just told her that he slept with her roommate. Brooke left and went crying to her best friend. The night before her 18th birthday, she had a fight with her dad. It was pretty bad because she ended up in the pub drinking, and instead of calling Blake, she called Day so Blake wouldn’t be worried.

High School ended with a bang for Brooke, her whole family came out to North Carolina for graduation acting like nothing was wrong. Graduation went alright, her parents met Blake but was a friend not boyfriend but that was on Blake’s part, they thought he was a nice boy and that was it, KC and Chloe on the other hand knew their sister and knew they were more then just friends and not right for each other. During graduation Brooke and Day’s parent talked did the whole catch up whatever thing, KC and Chloe were playing overprotecting brother and sister, and Brooke was just happy that the year was over! The day after graduation Blake helped Brooke finish packing up all her stuff and helped her move into the hotel for the summer and for her trip home. Going home was a trip Brooke was looking forward to, until she got back to L.A. and it wasn’t spending long days on the beach or shopping it was helping with a very public and nasty divorce, her parents. The entire time Brooke was in L. A. it was Hell and the thought of going back to the east coast for college seemed to be her best pick to get away from everything. Over course the thing with socialites is they talk so when it comes to a fellow socialite and her billionaire’s divorce, everyone in the circle knows so when Brooke came back to North Carolina, Day and Soleil all ready knew. The Brooke that left for L.A. was not the same Brooke that came back; her fears of ending up alone and handing press and paperwork just drained her emotionally and everyone who talked to her knew something was wrong. It took a good month just for her to tell Blake was going on just to get him to understand why instead of talking to him she talked to Dayton.

After she told him they seemed to be doing okay in the relationship department, until on day he took her to the fair. The day started out good, they talked, had fun, did the normal couple thing but when they took a break to get something to drink Blake told her the worst news ever, that he was leaving at the end of the summer to go to work back at his home town. The news crushed her, she felt her heart break not only because she loved him and the whole leaving thing but everything that they have been thought seemed like it was for nothing. Brooke on some level was in a state of shock the guy cried over, loved, hated, the guy that she made fall in love and admit was leaving her. That shock was just to be start for the night, after their talk Brooke was ready to go home, being around Blake was just hurting her. Walking back to his truck a crazy guy, more commonly known as a robber grabbed Brooke, she tried to scream at first he threaten to killer her, Blake tried everything talking to trying to give him his wallet to truck keys. The guy took his keys and wallet before letting Brooke go as soon as she was back in Blake arms she cried non stop. She never said a word but take me home, the whole thing shocked her into being totally MIA for a couple of days. Brooke didn’t speak to anyone one in her MIA days, not Day, Blake, or anyone of her closest friends.

With Blake leaving her at the end of summer Brooke has made a promise to herself to never be with another guy like him. With everything that they have been thought it seemed like it was all for nothing so why bother going through it again? Is the question she asked her self and plus Day would kill her.

Dayton Miles

Age/Grade: 19 / college junior

Dayton Alexander Miles came to Clayton shortly after Soleil did. He’d have come at the same time, but he was involved in a basketball thing back home that he didn’t want to let his team down on. When he was young, Day resented his parents for forcing him into basketball, but now he loves it more than almost anything. Day was the more conservative twin, between him and his sister. He liked to have fun, but partying and drinking just didn’t appeal to him the same way.

When Day came to Clayton he met Brooke, and had a huge crush on her, but it never went anywhere, as she had to go home for a while. The two are still really good friends though, and often lean on each other when they need support.

Day was always friendly to everyone he met, and took several girls out to eat. He was out looking for Soleil one night in a club, and ran into Melani Regions, who he’d taken out before. He started talking to her and somehow she’d convinced him to drink a bit. And a bit was all it took to get him completely smashed. She had a bit more than he did, and suggested they head some place more private.

He led the two of them drunkenly back to his room where he lost his virginity to her. He woke up the next morning I shock about what he’d done. He and Mel talked about what they should do, but he refused to be a benefit and didn’t feel comfortable with being a boyfriend either. Soon she had to ‘go see a teacher’ and Dayton really didn’t know what to do. Soleil went between him shooting hoops and Mel, talking to the two of them until she managed to find something that worked for them, and forced Day to go talk to Mel.

So Day went and talked to Mel, and the two agreed to try a relationship. Over the next few weeks, Day experienced things with her that he didn’t even know he could physically feel. They were just sweet and carefree, until Mel came to Day and told him that she had gotten pregnant that first time. The first thing they did was get on the phone and tell their parents, then they found jobs and an apartment, so they could live together and raise Lily in a happy family.

It was hard on both of them. They weren’t in love. Day cared deeply about Mel though, and he didn’t want anything to happen to their unborn daughter. He was a bit overbearing, just wanting to make sure both the women in his life were healthy. At one point though, it all fell apart. They argued and Day said several things he didn’t mean. Neither of them lived in their apartment for over a week.

Day finally went and talked to her though. She doesn’t want him around, because she doesn’t trust that he’ll always be there for their daughter, but he wants to stick around and do everything he can. Eventually they agreed to just take it one day at a time. They moved back in together, and Day took care of her every pregnant whim, even though sometimes she hated him for it.

Day had been at the Halloween homecoming dance on Halloween, enjoying the company of a masked stranger, when across the hall a commotion was gathering around Mel, who decided to pick that moment to go into labor. Day ran over to her, and then drove her to the hospital as fast as he could go. Only a few short minutes before midnight, a beautiful baby girl, Lily Natasha, was born.

A few weeks afterwards, Day was brought into Mel’s rooms by her terrified cries that Lily had stopped breathing. Day, being one of the older children in his family had seen this a few times before, and got Lily alright again, no problem, although she gave them quite a scare. After thankfulness and minor bickering, the couple finally resolved their differences, and are finally friends again.

The next month, Day discovered his mystery Halloween dance woman. Him and Lisa were once again working on their assigned project, bickering and usual. He kissed her, just to get her to shut up. She then yelled, which woke Lily up, and after Day got back from getting his crying daughter, he confronted Lisa, who had known since the dance because of his reason for having to go.

The really began to date when he asked her to the winter formal. They were serious, but kept things moving slow. At one point he felt he accidentally pressured her more than he would have liked to, but Lisa put a stop to it.

Clayton Academy won their last basketball game of the season, the last game of Day's high school career, and when Lisa invited him back to her dorm afterwards, he had no idea what was going to happen. She was nervous, but said she really wanted to, and Day, though also nervous, said it would all be alright. But Day was so over coem with emotion and fear at his feelings for Lisa that he left almost immediately afterwards without saying a word to Lisa, breaking his promise that it would be okay.

He then avoided her, and was attacked by an enraged roommate of Lisa's, angry for upsetting her friend, which really hadn't been Day's intention at all. He finally talked it through with Lisa, and they agreed to wait until they were sure they were ready before letting anything happen again.

Max Cohen

Age/Grade: 19/junior in College

Max Cohen was born and raised in LA. His family life was pretty good, besides the occasionally fight between his parents. Max is the oldest of three children. His younger sister, Amy, is 16, and his younger brother, Luke, is 8. Max was always expected to play as a role model for his younger siblings. He tried his best to keep himself out of trouble, to do as his parents asked and set an example for his brother and sister.

When Max was 10 or so was when he really got into art. He began having art class in school, and he figured that he really enjoyed painting. All throughout middle school, and his freshman and sophomore years of high school, Max took art classes focused on painting. It was in middle school when he started really painting, and doing it well. Max entered his paintings in a few local art shows during his freshman and sophomore years. Around the middle of his junior year, he received an acceptance letter from Clayton Academy. Generally, he accepted and left for North Carolina.

There’s not much more to Max than painting. He’s a generally nice guy who paints. That about all there is to him. Back in LA, Max attended school with Soleil Miles, who moved, and Max has no idea that she also attends Clayton Academy. Max and Soleil were good friends during their first years of high school, but like most guy – girl friendships, Max began to look at Soleil as more than a friend. He just never got the chance to tell her because she moved before he got the courage to.

When Max arrived at Clayton Academy, he was surprised to run into Soleil. They began hanging out and eventually started to date. It was complicated at first because Soleil just saw Max as a friend. But, surely they got over that.

Soleil got cancer and Max was there every step of the way. She got better, though, and then Soleil and Max decided to get an apartment together. They were living together in Wilmington until Soleil got signed with Victoria's Secret. Soleil applied for Max to go to NYU and when the school year finished, they packed up, leaving their apartment for Dayton, and moved to New York.

Katherine Roberts

Age/Grade: deceased



Growing up, Katherine was always known around the city. Her parents were wealthy, and gave her anything she ever wanted. Katherine was born into a family that was hardly ever home, and due to a lack of parents, hardly ever had anyone to talk to as a child. Katherine Roberts met Jeremy Andrews at school in the second grade. They hit it off right away, instantly forming a close friendship that followed them all the way to highschool.

Katherine's freshman year she joined the cheerleading squad, making captain. She was homecoming queen, and got A's in school - everyone loved her: teachers, friends, guys, parents, etc. The girls all wanted to be her, and the guys all wanted to be with her because she was the picture of perfection for the school. People looked towards her for advice, guidance, and fun. She knew when to have fun, and when to buckle down and get serious.

Later on, Jeremy and her friendship started getting closer, and both of them knew they wanted more. Katherine was very discreet about it, not mentioning her feelings to Jeremy. Later on, Jeremy had no date for the Spring dance so they decided to go together.. as friends, of course. Once they got there, they started warming up to the idea of there possibly being something more between them and Jeremy ended up asking her out again the next day.

Katherine being the head of the cheerleading squad, and Jeremy being the captain of the basketball team they were like the perfect highschool couple. But once Jeremy and his family started having problems, so did Katherine and Jeremy. They stayed strong until the day Jeremy went to Katherine and told her he'd been accepted to Clayton, and that he wasn't sure when he'd be coming back (if he even was). He told her he'd write, and that he'd call everyday.. and with that, he left.

Devisated, Katherine had no idea what to do. She ended up hooking up with one of the star basketball players, Jeremy's biggest enemy. Once Jeremy was out of her life, it began to spiral out of control. Her grades began to slip, she got kicked off the squad, lost her role as the school president, and got involved in things like drugs, alchohal, sex, and parties. Once Jeremy had found out, he refused to call Katherine anymore, or answer any e-mails. Once Jeremy's mother started worrying about him, she left school and drove to Clayton to possibly get Jeremy to come back - or at least visit. She improved her grades at hope to apply and get accepted at Clayton where she could be closer to Jeremy.

Ryan Andrews

Age/Grade: deceased

Ryan grew up in the a small suburbian town in a close family. He always looked up to his brother, Jeremey, although he was only a year and a few months older than him. As kids they were best friends, playing sports together and discussing which one of them will join the NBA and become rich and famous. Since his parent's divorce they have seem to grown apart. Ryan began to feel resentment towards Jeremy, who suddenly became more like his father than his brother. He didn't let the divorce get to him though, knowing that getting upset over it would only make his mother even more depressed. Over the years he grew apart from Jeremy, getting more thick skinned and stubborn everytime Jeremy was mentioned and or tried to reconnect with him. Jerm wasn't his brother anymore, but a whole new person. Not the brother Ryan used to admire.

Ryan put all his emotion and focuse on other things, especially in basketball. He's known around his school for his ambition to become the greatest professional basketball player even if it kills him. Around a month after Jeremey left for Clayton Academy, A highschool for the gifted, Ryan received a letter from the school requesting for him to join their establishment on his acheievements, sports. Without hesitation Ryan took them up on thier offer, mainly because Jeremy's there. He may not be able to stand him but they're still family. Ryan's plan is to go to Clayton, play on the basketbal team, and try to get back the brother he used to know.

Anything else: He is related to Jeremy Andrews on the board.
He's stubborn and hard headed.
He has the tendency to act on impluse, not completely thinking things through.
He is also known to hold grudges. If you in any way, shape, or form managed to piss him off, he'll be sure to never let you live it down.

Jarred 'JJ' Johnson

(Posted Image) (Posted Image)

Age/Grade: 19 / college junior

Jarred, or JJ, was born in London, England and lived there for 2 years before his parents, Sarah and Jack Johnson, moved the family to New York as his father was accepted for a promotion. This was when he started to doing gymnastics. He was very good at it and used all his free time to practice. When he wasn't at the gym he was at the dance studio. He learnt to breakdance, which is where he got his nickname from. They would also call him Spinner, because his favourite move was the headspin.

Jarred was extatic when he recieved the acceptance letter from Clayton Academy. He had been doing gymnastics since he was 4 and had been dancing for just as long. This meant the world to him.

The only downside of going to Clayton is that he'll be leaving his friends. Especially his best frined Decks. They've been best friends for 1 years and he was the person who taught him how to breakdance. It's hard but he has been forced to go by Decks so he looks forward to it.

On arrival at Clayton everything went spectactular. He got into the gym team, meeting up with Soliel Miles who was Queen Bee as far as he could see. He met lots of different people around and definately enjoyed his experience.

Then the spring formal arrived. It was his first big dance at Clayton and to say he was nervous was an understatment. He still didn't really know anyone, but decided to go anyway. Whilist wondering around he met a girl named Melani. They hit it off right away, and JJ was surprised when she said she didn't have a date. After they danced, the ditched the dance and headed to the beach. She sang him some songs, which he loved, then the had sex on the beach.

They were together for a extremely short period of time before they just drifted apart. He was down for a while because she moved on so quickly, but then he got over it. He slept with some random girl at a club, which made him feel a million times worse, then he met a girl that changed everything. Hayley Farris.

They met on the beach and hit it off. He really liked her and invited her to Laci and Jeremy's engagment party. When they got there it was the first time he had seen Mel in forever, and that's when she told him she was dating Soliels twin brother Dayton. And that she was pregnant. JJ was taken aback, but promised to not to tell anyone and be there for her as a friend.

After a few weeks JJ could feel himself falling hard for Hayley. He still kinda had feelings for Mel, but they dissapeared pretty fast and he spent nearly all his free time with Hayley. He thought everything was going great, until Hayley just dissapeared and all he got was a voicemail message telling him he was dumped.

JJ crashed and burned from then, spending nearly the whole summer in his dorm room being depressed. He got a call from Hayley, who was in Texas, and she basically wanted him to have a go at her. Which he did. He cried and she cried and it was all appologies and she was on the first plane back to Wilmington.

They got back together and again, everything was perfect. Until Blake interfered. JJ's roommate and annoyance. JJ walked in to him and some random girl having sex on his bed and he saw red. He screamed at Blake as the girl dissapeared in a hurry. That's when he started talking about how Hayley had come onto him and kissed him. JJ laughed it off, not believing Hayley would do that to him. That's when she came right through the door. JJ asked her if any of what Blake said was true, and she said that they had kissed but it was an accident. She ran off crying and Blake made some stupid remark so JJ knocked him out.

While looking for Hayley, he found Brooke, who was Blakes on-off girlfriend. They talked about everything and she said not to let Blake ruin his relationship with Hayley. And he said he wouldn't. He trusted Hayley, just not Blake. He then found Hayley and everything was great again. She had explained what happened and he accepted it.

After saving Blake from a suicide attempt, He just concentrated on three things. Dance, Gym and Hayley. He was getting better by the day and everything was falling into place. Mel had her baby girl, Lily, and he was named Godfather and he felt nothing could go wrong. That was until Hayley dissapeared again. This time she didn't even leave a message. He was distrought, and he just stopped functioning. He threw himself into his gymnastics, practicing everyday and taking out all his agression on the rings.

After he heard about Soliel and her being in hospital, he went a visited her. They had become friends over the year and did a lot of gym meets together. After taking her grapes then eating most of them, he told her that he was on track for the Olympics. It was everything he'd ever wanted, and he just couldn't believe that he was actually gonna make it. She was happy for him, and he told her she had to get better so they could do their last meet together. She got better, and they both won gold.

Just as he thought everything was getting back to normal, Mel entered his life again. Not that he minded. He still had feelings for her, which were long since forgotten, but they all came back when he saw her in the mall. She was shopping with Lily, and he just felt his heart race. They had lunch together, and they flirted. He asked her out, and she accepted. He was over the moon.

They went out that night, and they had a great time. That was until he got a text fom Hayley. He was upset that she thought she could just waltz back into his life like she hadn't broken his heart twice. He told Mel who it was and she told him to go see her. He went reluctantly and met up with Hayley.

She told him that she was sorry that she just left but he couldn't just forgive her. They talked about what happened, and he made her confess that she had developed a drug problem. He told her he would help her with rehab, and they promised they would stay friends. He told her about Mel, and she was happy for them. Just.

He went back to Mel's apartment, and they just agreed to take things slow. Not like he minded, he was just happy to be back with her.

Age/Grade: 19 / junior in college

Ana Marie Smith was born and raised in North Carolina. She was born on December 17th, 1988 to Lisa and Matt Smith. She lived with her parents and younger sister. They were generally a good family; when they were in public, that is. Ana’s mother and father fought all through her child hood, never ceasing. She tried her hardest to avoid it when she was living with them; she’d spend her time cheerleading, out with friends/boys, anything to get away from her parents.

Ana just recently got accepted to Clayton Academy for cheerleading. She was determined to go whether her parents said yes or not. They didn’t need money to send her, so she knew they would most likely let her go. And even if she did have to pay to get in, her parents had the money. She’s spoiled, and she knows it. She looks at her being spoiled as part of her charm – she can get what she wants.

Ana has her bitchy moments, like any girl, but for the most part she’s a sweet heart. She is somewhat misleading though. She tends to be a flirt, better known as a tease, or maybe even a whore. She doesn’t really care what people think of her. She does what she wants, and she gets what she wants. Ana has pretty high standards. She makes it obvious what she needs, and in most cases, people follow through with her needs.

Ana’s had her fair share of people hating her for stupid reasons, like making out with their boyfriend, or gaining title as head cheerleader. One advantage of going to Clayton Academy: she could start over and leave all the drama from her old school behind. This didn’t mean Ana was going to change – because she wasn’t – but she was going to simply… start new drama; just because it was the Ana thing to do.

Ana is cousins with Jennifer Teague; who also attends Clayton Academy. Ana and Jen usually only saw each other at family things, and the two of the did not get along for the most part.

Now Ana is a sophomore in college, and doing better than she ever was. For the most part, she really doesn't whore around much. Ever since she met Nathan Bennett, everything has kind of revolved around him. There was some sleeping around, but mostly it was just with Nathan.

She now realizes that she likes Nathan, like actually likes him. She just won't go out and tell him that. She hates when he flirts with other girls, and she hates that he does it in front of her on purpose just to see her squirm. But, she supposes that maybe he'll eventually come around.

Blake Jefferson

(Posted Image) (Posted Image)

Age/Grade: 21 / graduated

Blake is from a smallish town down South, where trucks, guitars, and beer was a regular with the teens as well as the adults. So, it was no big that he played the guitar. Except that he was really, really good at it, and he had a deep, soothing voice to match it. He was picked out by Clayton Academy at the end of his junior year, and will start attending as a new Senior.

Being from a small town though, his life wasn't without problems. Out of boredom, he turned to drugs. Basically just pot and coke. He worked at a small burger stand down by the state park, and always had money to get what he needed.

Of course, Blake is a very determined kid, so if there was something he wanted he couldn't get, he'd make a oath to himself to get it. This mostly applied to girls. With his handsome features, he knew all he would have to do was smooth talk, possibly buy a few drinks, and he could have himself a nice friend for the night. He was proud to have hooked up with the majority of the cheer squad, and getting several girls to cheat on their boyfriends.

When he got to Clayton, his attitude never changed. He went after every girl he saw, and he got most of them too. One girl, Brooke, made the mistake of falling for him when he told her not to, and he just kept on fooling around with whichever girl he met until Brooke found him with one of them. Around this time Blake realized that maybe he did care about Brooke after all. He tried everything he could think of to get her back, but nothing work. He went and got himself high, almost raped a girl, then attempted suicide by coke overdose. When he woke up in the hospital, Brooke was by his side, and they talked through their differences enough to agree to be together.

Brooke and Blake were a slowish progression. They stayed mostly plantonic dating until after the winter formal. Then they became 'serious' again, and Blake told her about his family, and then invited Brooke to meet them sometime. She agreed, and the next morning, told him that she loved him. Blake didn't respond, and Brooke left, upset and hurt. It wasn't that Blake didn't, he just wasn't the kind to say it. He found her a week later, at their spot on the beach and snuck up behind her and said the 4 words she wanted to hear: I love you too.

And he told her that he knew she was the one that was meant for him, the girl that he wrote songs about before he met her.

Then one weekend they drove to meet Blake's family, who all loved her to bits. Blake got some crap from old friend for getting a high class girl, but Brooke fit in surprisingly well with his family.

After that the two shared a fairly normal rest of the year. He suspected she was cheating with Day, and it made him hate her best friend, and kiss the guy's boyfriend, which Brooke wasn't exactly excited about, but they stayed good. Blake has serious jealousy issues just because he knows Brooke is better than him.

The one problem Blake seemed to be having with Brooke was what to do after school got out. He ended up confiding in one of his few friends, Jasmine, that at the end of the summer, he'd be leaving. He didn't want to, but it was best for him, and for Brooke. Brooke didn't take the news as well.

Brady Matthews

(Posted Image) (Posted Image)

Age/Grade: 20/no longer in school

Brady was born on March 5, 1989 in Perry Hall, Maryland to Christy and Jerry Matthews. His parents were only engaged when his mom broke the news to his dad, and his mom had to walk down the aisle seven months pregnant. A year later, his parents had a daughter named Emily, and another two years after that, they had twins, Connor and Lee. His home life was pretty simple. No drama, no pain, no tears, he had the normal average life. His parents in love, they parented their children well, and it’s shown in all four of them.

Everything was perfect for the Matthews family until recently, Brady's mom found out that Jerry was cheating on her. Instantly, they divorced and his mom got custody of the twins, and his dad got custody of Brady and Emily. Awhile after they divorced, Jerry began to date a women named Elizabeth Taylor. Jerry and Elizabeth have plans to get married, but they haven't mentioned anything to anyone. Now, Jerry convinced Elizabeth to send her daughter, Sadie Taylor to attend school at Clayton Academy. Neither Sadie nor Brady know about each other, so possible drama could unfold.

Brady first learned to play a guitar when he was six. His father had always played in some local gigs, but he never really wanted to anywhere with his talents. Deciding to be a father instead, he gave up on a record contract a month after Brady was born. But seeing his dad play all the time around the house and such, it was only a matter of time until Brady caught on, and he did. He learned how to play for a few years, and then began teaching himself things, and by the time high school had started, he had began to even write his own song. It was clear to him and everyone around him that he wanted to be a musician when he got older.

Unfortunately for him, no one big ever really saw his talent until his junior year of high school because as much as he loved to play, he hated doing it in front of crowds. But there was a local talent contest at one of the small coffee shops in town, and Brady decided to play. He used of his own written songs and performed. There were people there, and once news got to Clayton Academy, they sent him an invite, and he decided to attend his senior year there.

In the past two years, Brady's life has been crazy, and it's all because of girls. He started tutoring Soleil Miles in guitar. She had a boyfriend, but they ended up having some fling. He really did like her, but it ended as soon as her boyfriend found out about them. Then he met another girl. Something might have happened with he, but he soon found out that girl was Soleil's little sister. That ended. Then he met Jen. He thought she was single, and he REALLY liked her. But no, she ended up being in a relationship with some other guy when Brady actually thought that he was dating her. That turned into just a simple friendship. But he tried to get Jen again, and that just turned into being beaten up by Jen, her boyfriend, and her boyfriend's sister. It wasn't pretty. Then he met Sadie. Things were going great with them, but of course, it turned to shit. The two of them found out that her mom had married his dad. They were step-siblings. The usual thing would be to break up. Nope. They kept dating in secret, and then Sadie found out she was pregnant.

It changed everything. He wanted to keep the baby; she wanted to give it up for adoption. They ended up fighting over it constantly, and they broke up while she was pregnant. In the end, neither of them got what they want, and their baby was still born. He got all depressed after that, and that's when he and Jen reconnected. She was engaged, and she had just had a miscarriage. The two of them ended up making out, but she quickly ended it. She ran off, and that was the end of that.

He then started attending therapy, and then he started dating Sadie again. He thought he was all happy and stopped going to therapy. Things got extremely crazy after that. He ended up trying to be with Jen again, who was now married, by editing results of a DataMatch test. He also started cheating on Sadie by sleeping with some random girl he met, Megan Cox. He lied to Sadie constantly while trying to be with Jen and her and Megan, and then it all came out when Sadie walked in on him mid-sex with Megan. Sadie's best friend, Corey Swift, was there, and then Jen's husband, Aiden Thompson, was also there. They beat the crap out of him, Sadie dumped him, and his life was shit again.

Ever since Sadie was pregnant, he had been friends with Sarah Jones. After the whole crazy Brady thing happened, she was the only one who would still put up with him. She convinced him to go back into therapy. Things were looking good when a release date was set for his album (which he had been recording thanks to Jen getting the record company to look at him before the whole depressed make out stuff). With that good news and the therapy, his life was looking up. He and Sarah started dating, and that just made everything look even better. He started changing, apologizing to both Jen and Sadie. He still attends therapy, and he's still dating Sarah. His album was supposed to be released June 3, but it ended up getting pushed back so that he could record two new songs he had written. It is now set to be released August 6.

The CD released and it did pretty well. He now has a good amount of money from it, and he's only expected to get even more famous, so he dropped out of school, dedicating all his time to his career as a musician.
