South Ridge High (The new RP)

Alice looked at her watch as she was sitting in her brother's car. She kept tapping her foot on the worn, carpeted car floor as she sat there looking at the time on the car's clock. It's a little bit before 7 in the morning and he's been in the coffee shop for the last 20 minutes, Alice thought to herself annoyed trying to look inside the dimly lit coffee shop that the car was parked in front of. Alice lied her head back onto the head rest trying to keep her cool down since was a nervous wreak since this was the first day of school. She tried to pass the time by counting, but then it made her more nervous.

"My god, what can he be doing in there?" Alice said as she looked at the clock again seeing that another minute has passed. She pulled her sweater over her shoulders getting cold sitting there. For the love of god, I'm going to die of anxiety before he comes back to the car with my hot chocolate! Alice thought to herself as she looked into the coffee shop windows from where she sat to see Anthony sitting there, drinking coffee, and chatting with some lady at one of the tables near the window. Alice just sat there for a moment before she unlocked the car door and opened the door. The car alarm went off like crazy that Anthony had spit his drink at the lady across from him, and Alice was able to see the lady jump up and shout at him.

Anthony jumped up with a shocked look on his face before he looked out the window seeing Alice waving at him with her car door open. He looked at Alice a little embarrassed before the lady got up and walked out of the coffee shop dripping in his coffee spit. "I-I'm so sorry!" Anthony said as he ran out of the coffee shop with another drink in his hands as the lady shouted back, "Don't call me ever!"

Anthony just stood there looking a little disappointed before he heard a snicker. He turned his head seeing Alice getting up from the car holding her hand out to him, "Maybe you'd get a nice girlfriend if you just got me my hot chocolate on time." Anthony raised his eyebrow before handing her the cup as she turned around and got back in the car, "Hurry up Anthony, you know how terrible my anxiety and stress levels get!" "Shut up and drink your hot chocolate," Anthony said as he slammed her car door shut before going on the other side and getting inside. He turned the keys in the ignition before backing up and heading down the street to the other side of town, where Alice was going to be for the school year.

 

The television blurted on soon after the morning coffee was brewed and the dank stench of fried food was in the air. Ryker, tapped on the remote, trying to find something to watch while eating his favorite cereal, Coco Pops. You can never grow out of that! As his teeth sank into the crispy texture of the rice crispie, the television suddenly stopped as the boy noticed his image on screen. He was with a girl on the beach, shirtless.
"Look girls, hot shirtless Ryker Wakeford, is caught on a stroll with what seems to be his girlfriend" the annoying fake white teethed reporter said. Ryker thudded his left hand on the brown leather couch, spilling the cereal on his right hand on his shirt. It started to felt sticky from the milk and his skin instantly started to irritate because of of it. He itched his chest and then turned around to his godfather, with his hand on his forehead.
"They'll never leave me alone, will they?" Ryker said, annoyed.
"That's the reason why we took you here. This is a community with class. I am sure we can trust them a little more but it will never go away. We can just sooth the annoyance" his godfather told him, wearing a black hoodie and smoking a cigarette amongst the dim light.
Ryker took off his shirt, frantically looking for a window for someone to peek through. Fortunately, all the windows were curtained. He went to a nearby wardrobe and put on a plain white shirt on. His godfather, Mark, made another cereal meanwhile, and handed it to him when he went back downstairs to the living room. The couch was also cleaned. Afterwards, Ryker reached for his bag and turned on his iPod. He looked at how raggly his godfather looked.
"Hey, do you want to get some casualwear from Moores? I put $150 for you on the counter there"
He pointed to the table near the oven.
"Get yourself some nice clothes. You haven't got out of that jacket for 10 years. I want you to get a date, man!"
The godfather simply nodded. "Thanks"

Ryker smiled and turned away, walking out the door and heading off for his first day of school at South Ridge High. He watched the birds fly around in circles, the clouds rolling by and the trees sway to and fro. He then envisioned himself being on a film, in a fast paced movement and then arriving at the school doors. Well, that's how he imagined it. The walk flew by in time. He was excited to see if this would work.

He walked through and he noticed it was early. A digital red clock on the other side of the large dining room, was reading 8:04 AM. It was early....WAY early!

 

"This place is amazing Alice! I think you are going to enjoy yourself here," Anthony said as he and Alice walked into the cafeteria until they sat down at an empty table. "I dunno about enjoying, but I think I will be able to manage," Alice said with a smile as she tapped her hands on the table trying to create some sort of rhythm.

"You will be fine Alice. I will have to be the one needing to manage if I want to not get in trouble with getting or having a job," Anthony said as he leaned back in the chair as Alice looked down at her watch. It read 8:08, and she didn't even know if there was even classes today! "Anthony, promise me that you'll try and find a job at something you're good at," Alice said as Anthony raised his eyebrow at her, "What do you want me to do? Become a male hooker?" "Ewww, that's so gross!" Alice managed to say before she broke down laughing as he shrugged his shoulders, "Ah, come on Alice. You know that no one is willing to pay a kid that didn't even finish a college class! And the class was about accounting, and you know I hate filing stuff."
"Please Anthony, don't joke around. It's bad enough that our mom and pops have to pay extra money so I can go to the counselor the next few years. You have to support them anyway you can, you know how important this is for the both of us, right?" Alice asked as she rested her elbows on the table to prop her head up to look across the table at her brother as he propped his chair back down on the floor before he hurt himself. "I promise that I won't screw up the next few job interviews. Now, how about you get something to eat, you look as pale as a tofu," Anthony said as he got up to his feet as Alice looked up at him smiling, "Hey Anthony?"

Anthony looked back at Alice as he started to walk away from her, "What is it sis?" Alice looked up at him before waving at him, "Please come to visit me if you can, I'll probably get lonely before the week is up." The white-haired brother just looked at her before smiling. "Don't worry, you'll be making friends easily! Just give me a call if you need your big brother to talk to for anything!" Anthony said as he turned back around and waved her off. Alice just sat there at the table smiling before she pulled her bag onto the table and pulling out a piece of paper with her class schedule.
"I just hope that I can make friends easily," Alice muttered under her breath as she put her schedule back into her bag and pulled out a Granny Smith apple. She thought about how ridiculous she dressed herself today as she sat there dressed in a pair of blue jeans, a grey tank top, a pair of black flats with polkadot socks, and a simple black sweater.

 

Ryker still felt hungry. Despite the fabulous taste of Coco Pops, it was not as nutritious as you hoped it would be. He put on a black cap, trying to conceal his face and walked up to the cafeteria in blue jeans and a plain white shirt. He looked like everyone else: scruffy, jeans wearing and long haired. You get the picture. He felt relieved that no one has caught him yet. Three more years to go, however...
After buying a piece of toast at the counter, he turned around to see someone by herself writing in a notebook.
"Time to get to know some people" Ryker murmured to himself. He walked up to her and sat down on the opposite side.
"Hey" he said. Yes, that's all he said...

 

"Oh, hi-" Alice looked up at she froze up. At first, she just thought that some idiot jock was going to hit on her, or just another person who was going to tell her to get out of their spot.
She found herself looking up at some guy no older than her as she noticed how plain he was dressed. Pretty simple clothing with a black cap on his head as nothing seemed to stand out, except for one thing- his eyes.
Something about this guy's eyes just really popped out to her as she noticed now that he was actually pretty cute.
Oh god, say something, anything to him! Alice thought to herself as she almost dropped her apple onto the table. "E-er, hi there." Alice quickly said as she found herself putting the apple down onto the table to keep her from dropping it again, "U-um, you wouldn't happen to be a returning student here, w-would you?"

 

Ryker, at first, thought she didn't care from the look in her eyes and then she started to talk to him, as she put the apple down on the table.
"No, I just moved here from California"
At that moment, Ryker wanted to slap himself on the forehead. "Way to give her a clue, numbnuts"
He tapped the table's end, not knowing what to say and then it hit him. The most simple of question of all time other than saying, "how are you?"; "what's your name?"
"So, what's your name?" he asked, looking at her in the eyes. He felt something in that moment, that he never thought he'd have. A normal girl, who was interested with him for his fame; just someone who liked him for who he was.

 

Alice was starting to daydream a little before his question about her name snapped her back to reality. "My name? O-oh, I'm Alice Anistarr. I j-just transferred to the school m-myself after my parents pulled me out of the last one I was in," Alice said as she looked at him taking in his appearance a bit more. Something about this guy made her a little curious to wonder what his story is and why he's came from California to all the way out here in Texas.
I mean, come on! It's Texas, nothing ever happens around here as long as I have been here, Alice thought to herself as she took a small bite of her apple.
A thought hit Alice as she realized that she never asked what his name was either.
"U-um, so what's your name again? I don't think I caught it, or ever asked about it in the first place," Alice said sheepishly as she scratched the back of her neck feeling embarrassed of herself as she caught herself rambling outloud again. She always had this knack of starting to ramble on about different topics when she starts to become nervous.

 

Arriving in front of the massive school in a corvette, Jordan exited out of the car carrying his bags. He gave a large sigh before looking around. "So....this is the place, huh," he said to the driver of the car who started to make his way out of the car. "Aw come on son, I'm sure you'll get used to it. You just have to give it some....time. I'm sure of it." Jordan scoffed before replying, "Yeah, whatever." His father grew an angry look and said to him, "Don't screw this up for yourself, you got it? Any more slip ups and boarding school here you come!" Jordan waved back to his father without looking back and simply replied to him, "Love you too dad." He then proceeded to the school to register himself in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After registering, he made his way outside and began to look around and remembered he hadn't even asked where his dorm was. Feeling embarassed, he decided he'd rather just wing it or hope for someone to guide him to it. 'Smart idea Jordan. Register and don't even ask where you're going to stay. Great," he thought to himself as he aimlessly walked around hoping to find his dorm or someone to guide him.

 

Alex Rife

Alex got of his Motorcycle and walked inside. He looked around. Let's see, popular people with iq points of three... Total, Jocks, Emos, tech nerds that were a bit too nerdy, tech nerds that wernt smart enough to even program a bouncing ball in 2d animation, and then there were the guys who sat in the corner and played pokemon. He plays game sometimes, but not like them... They cry when their little pikachu gets knocked out. He walked through the halls. He spotted his old friend Jessica. "Hey Jess." He said, taking a look at his schedule.

 

Jordan was going to curse the person who bumped into him but quickly noted her and her appearence. Quickly he changed his attitudee towards her and began to studder a bit, "Oh, w-well, um, i-it's no big deal. I-I probably shouldn't have been standing in the way in the first place." He then gave a nervous laugh at the end. He grabbed her hand and pulled himself up, brushing himself off. 'Damn it, I just bought these pants,' he thought to himself as he noticed as notable stain on his skinny jeans. He sighed and just picked up his bags. "I'm Jordan by the way," he said to the girl holding out his hand.

 

Ryker munched on a piece of toast and quickly swallowed it so he can reply again but he started to cough because it went down the wrong hole. After coughing and catching his breath.
"My name's Ryker" he replied, not wanting to say his surname. "So what's your story? Where did you come from? I'm guessing you move a lot"
He tapped his fingers on the table and finished his toast with his other hand.

 

Alice thought it was a little weird that he didn't say his surname, but she didn't really mind. "My story? Well, I really can't say that I moved around a lot. I moved down here with my parents and brothers at least 10 years ago when we were living in Vermont. After that, we moved once or twice because my dad's job kept getting transferred all over this desert-barren state," Alice said as she took another bite out of her apple as she kept thinking more about what's happened these past couple of years.

"I had two older brothers. One of them is Anthony who has been having a hard time trying to keep a job, while the other one was-"
Alice stopped herself for a second because she didn't want to break down crying in front of this guy, making her look like that she was weird or just insane. Instead of talking more about her other brother, she just quickly caught her breath as she just went onto a different topic.
"The reason I keep changing schools is because I kept getting picked on by the kids. Being called a 'loser', 'ugly' and just even 'the silent brat in the corner'. It's been like this for a few years now, and I've been to almost every school in the city district," Alice finished explaining as she took another bite from her apple.
"So, Ryker was it? What seems to be your story of coming all way from California to the middle of nowhere in Texas? I'd probably think that you wouldn't want to move away from a place like that unless something bad happened," Alice asked as she was wanting to get more out of this kid since he really doesn't look like he talks about himself that much.
