Christina

The sun streamed brightly through my drawn curtains, gently easing me out of my light sleep.  I squinted at the brightness and sighed, Summer was over and it was time to start college. Many of my older friends told me that this was when my social life would pretty much go down the toilet ... no I couldn't let that happen!

My sister skipped happily into my room, "Time to get up Chrissy, first day at school!" she squeeled, evidently excited about going back to school. Come to think of it, she would be wouldn't she? she was eight! At the age of eight, I enjoyed going to school and playing blocky and stuck in the mud at breaktime. When I look at the homework my sister is set from her school, it looks far too easy and I often wish that I was eight again.

It would be great to be that age again, too not get homework every day, or to be able pull a sickie whenever you wanted and not worry about having to catch up on work! Life is sweet when your eight!

I groaned and rolled out of bed, reaching under my bed and grabbing my slippers, which I slipped onto my feet before shuffling off to the bathroom to make myself look decent.

When I had applied all makeup and was looking stunning, even if I do say so myself I bid my sister and mother goodbye and climbed into my car. As i pulled into the student car park, I caught sight of my best friend Isobel Smith waiting for me.

Isobel looked as beautiful as ever, she had been on holiday to Tenerife over the summer so her olive toned complexion was beautifully tanned.

I trotted up to her and pulled her into a tight hug which she recipatated with great warmth and affection.

College wont be that bad i thought to myself, as i linked arms with Isobel and we started to make our way towards the sixthform block. As long as Isobel was with me everything will be fine!

Name: Isobel Smith
Age: 17
Appearance: Long dark hair, almost a purpley/black, that falls just past her shoulders in waves. Large grey eyes that always appear lost in thought, usually rimmed with eyeliner. Olive toned complexion. Stands at around 5 foot 6, slender figure.
Personality: A bit of a day dreamer, she's always getting told off for it. A little quiet, but has a lot of friends. She's fiercely loyal to each of them and will defend them in their times of need. Sometimes feels a tiny bit under-appreciated by them, like they almost take her for granted, but this is only because she lets them. Has her eye on this guy she's liked for several months but doesn't have the courage to tell him.
Author: xkatieshepherd

Name: Rhea Padgett: think Allison Reynolds (the basket case) of The Breakfast Club. Yes, Rhea is "that girl", the loner. Probably voted Most Likely to Bring a Gun to School in high school. However, if you take the time to get to know her AND get past the exterior persona, she'll do anything to help her friends and keep them happy. She kind of wants to get over the loner thing and meet people in college, but isn't sure how.
Age: 17
Author: MotherMary

Name: Tom Parker
Age: 17
Appearance: Considered by many the best-looking guy they've ever laid eyes on. Not anything particularly handsome about him, but girls say there's something extremely attractive about him.
Personality: He's quiet. He had been searching for the right girl, but had always found sluts and mean girls who he most certainly didn't want to date. Now he just quietly sits at the back of the room, does his homework, and lives life. He still wonders to himself if he'll ever find the right girl, but his hope is fading.
Author: babyrhinos

Name: Aaliyah Parker
Age: 17
Appearance: 5"7 feet tall, medium layered hair which is brown with a red tinge. Dark, hazel eyes that seem to change quite often. Prefers casual over fancy, but will wear nice clothes if the occasion calls for it. Wear only a little make-up, light eyeliner and mascara.
Personality: Friendly to most, though often feels as if others find her annoying. Usually a glass half full kind of girl, but will sometimes be depressed for a day or so. Enjoys watching people in a non-creeper way, and knows most everything about everyone. Rather intelligent but doesn't brag about it for fear of being labeled a nerd. Is very conscientious of what other people think about her, though she wouldn't tell that to anyone, and barely admits it to herself.

Name: Elijah Gilbert
Age: 17
Appearance: Jet black hair which falls around his forhead in a very stylish way framing his striking blue eyes.
Personality: Quite a quite boy, quite smart and a definate loner, he kept himself to himself most of the time. He enjoys photography and aspires to be a great photographer one day.
