school isnt what is used to be . . .


Welcome;
to Anarbor High

High School isn't exactly the way our parents remember it. Sure, there are still cliques like The Populars, The Jocks, The Nerds, and so on; but teens are much more violent then they used to be. At This school there is a big "territory" and "rivalry" problem. Cliques clash, both phycially and through word of mouth. And this high school is know for its violent outbreaks.

Yet, a new year is starting here at Anarbor High...

Are you a new student?
if so, are you going to join a clique? or try and end these pointless feuds?

Are you a returning student?
if so, are you going to declare war? invade territory? or try and fight for peace?

Are you a teacher?
if so, are you going to get involed? or leave the student to handel it themselves?

Its a New Year, and a New Start.

choose your path . . .

The Cliques;
avoid and survive

Populars

So the populars are usually rich snobs; Girls that spend their Daddy's money and Guys that drive hundred thousand dollar cars to school. Yet some of them are sweet and just go with the flow, yet are usually pushed around by others of the clique.

Get along with; Jocks, Artsies and Norms
Dont get along with; Goths, Nerds, Gangsters and Rejects

usually in cafeteria or courtyard

Nerds

Teachers pets and homework maniacs fall in here. Usually good at math or science, do extra credit, get straight A's and sometimes find themselves correcting the teacher. They are frequently bullied and tend to avoid the otther cliques.

Get along with; Norms and Artsies
Dont get along with; Everyone Else

usually in library or math/science lab

Jocks

Football, Soccer, Basketball, theyre obssessed with the games. Usually always wearing their team jacket and practicing afterschool. Tend to bully members of other cliques. Not only guys, there are girl jocks too.

Get along with; Populars, Rejects, Gangsters and Norms
Don't get along with; Nerds, Artsies and Goths

usually in gym/pool or cafeteria

Artsies

Everyone in this clique is either a painter, photographer, sculpter, or drawer of some sort. The are always found in the art room working on their latest masterpeice or raoming the campue to find their next inspiration.

Get along with; Nerds, Rejects and Norms
Don't get along with; Goths, Gangsters and Jocks

usually in art room or courtyard

Goths

Most in this group wear all black or dark colors, lots of lace, belts, studs, leather and buckles. Some practice wiccan craft and are members of covens, while others just listen to dark screamo music.

Get along with; Rejects and Norms
Dont get along with; Artsies, Jocks, Nerds, Gangsters and Populars

usually under the putside bleachers or at corner of senior parking lot "cancer corner"

Rejects

Get along with; Goths, Artsies, Jocks and Norms
Dont get along with; Populars, Gangsters and Nerds

usually under the outside bleachers or at corner of senior parking lot "cancer corner"

Gangsters

In this group everyone listens to rap and wears their pants below their waists. They like to pretend their bad-ass and though some are, others are trying just trying to look tough. They cause alot of trouble when it comes to clashing with other cliques, especially cause they are very "rep" conscience.

Get along with; Norms and Jocks.
Dont get along with; Nerds, Populars, Artsies, Rejects and Goths.

Norms

Most decide to not be part of any group, to just be, well in the middle, switzerland if you will. They are pretty okay with everyone, unless the person themself dislikes one or so group, but thats their choice.

Get along with; pretty much everyone, unless personal dislike.

usually anywhere

Alison, preferring to be called Kira or Kiki from only a select few, sat on a metal art stool at one of the tables near the windows and opposite the doors. In front of her, deft slim fingers rolled and moulded clay around a wire frame that was shaped like a tree. Her head bobbed as she hummed along to one of the tracks playing on her mp3, her mind lost in her own little world far from reality. A reality in which she wore forest green baggy cargo pants, held in place on her tiny waist by a thin black belt, and a stark white spaghetti strap tank top, both currently covered by a school provided apron. Over her black messenger bag sat her mixed silk/polyester overshirt she picked up in the mens department of the boutique store, it being fully black with a tribal phoenix design on it. There were a few dried clay smudges along one cheek, across her nose and even her forehead. She ignored reality in favor of her new project, the art teacher wanted her to enter an upcoming art competition, and let her have all summer to think about what she wanted to showcase. Slowly the sad lump of what was to be a tree gained definition, the bark and the roots becoming more life like, thin twigs suddenly sprouting leaves. She smiled faintly, hazel eyes, even though the few other students, artsies or teachers pets, would swear that her eyes were an icy blue color, glanced up at the clock then sighed heavily. Placing all the clay on a tray next to her tree and the two frames she had for a human being, she wrapped them in a large plastic bag cover to keep the clay from drying out and set in up on a shelf where it wouldn't be damaged, her name written on the outside of the plastic, and hoped that it would indeed not suffer any damages.

She stalked out into the mildly crowded hallway after having washed the clay off her hands and face and putting the over shirt on, leaving it unbuttoned. She bobbed to the new tune playing, the only movements noticable though being that she was walking toward her locker and the bare minimum of her head moving, her movements completely silent except for the slight skid of her black and brown steel-toed hiking boots. She reached her locker, kneeling down to turn the code and, once that was undone, switched out her text books for her morning class texts, sneering at the English IV novel book she was made to read. They were studying Shakespeare and the teacher wanted to go over Romeo and Juliet, again. She'd rather read Othello or Hamlet again, those were good. Finishing the swap she stood and removed he earbuds, slowly winding the cord around the slim mp3 and pocketing it as she leaned against her locker, waiting.

"Airen..Airen wake up!" The girl curled up under her covers as her mother screamed at her from the hallway. "Come on, you're late." A sharp pain occured in the girls back as her mother threw her bookbag at her. "Out of bed, lets go." Airen groaned and sat up. It was the first day of school, great... "Do i have to go?" She begged and her mother gave her a look which said a big fat NO. "Fine, fine...Im up..." Pulling the covers off the girl quickly took a shower and dried her hair, letting it slightly curl around her face from the airdry. After doing her eye makeup she pulled on an outfit she had bought only a few days ago and smiled at herself in the mirror. Grabbing her bag and pulling on knee high converse she grabbed her keys. "See Ya Mom." "Have a good day sweetie."

Airen got into her car and drove to school, getting a fairly good parking spot. Seeing some rejects and goths back by cancer corner she waved and headed into the school. As she walked towards her locker a popular walked into her, knocking into her shoulder on purpouse. "Oh I am so not in the mood for your shit." She mumbled to herself continuing down the hall. A smile came on Airens face when she saw Kira, or Kiki as she had called her since they were little. "Hey Kiki, hows your latest masterpeice coming?" She asked, opening her locker and exchanging her books.

"NO WAY! Really?! Oh My God,how long? REALLY? Well gotta jet now seeya later and you have GOT to get me pictures! Ok Byeee" Jessica hung on on her friend.
"Ahh now what to wear..Hmm.." She tossed out clothes from her walk-in closet trying to find the perfect outfit. Everyone knew the first day was major important for everyone,to show everyone what clique you were in.See at Anarbor High it was all about the cliques,if you were popular you were safe,you had the Jocks on your side as well as the Normies who didnt fit into any other group and the Artsies who you could easily get some free portraits off if you were friends.
"AHA! Found it!" She shouted triumphantly.Holding up a yellow hoodie.She pulled off her PJ's and tugged on a white top with the words "Live.Laugh.Love" in rainbow letters.She then put on the hoodie,pair of white tights and a pair of shorts.
"Now what shoes to wear" She muttered,opening her shoe closet reveling her many many shoes,of various colors.
"JESSICA Im off to work,seeya later love" Her mom shouted up the stairs followed by a slam of the door."
"Bye then.." she wispered,franticly opening draws until she found her custom made converse,the had hot pink and Cornflower Blue swirls on the sides with white heels and toes and pale pink and blue laces.Once she had them on she grabbed her keys,phone,a magnetic mirror for her locker,make-up bag,purse,pencil case and her spare pair of lace gloves and shoved them in her aqua bag with the green zips.
"There all set,just enough time to accessorize!" She exclaimed putting on her charm bracelet and a pair of golden hoop earings.
She fluffed up her hair and had one last glance in the mirror before she dashed downstairs,grabbed a apple as she walked out the door and got into the limo her dad left to drop her off for school. She nodded to the driver as he started the engine and drove off to Anarbor High.
Ahh i wonder if anythings change this year She said as she saw the familiar building coming up.
"Here you go Miss,have a good day.Ill pick you up after school" He said as he pulled up to the school
I will thanks! JB shouted out to the driver
She walked arcoss to the school courtyard to where all her friends were Hey Guys! How was your summer? She asked,taking a bite of the apple.
Hmm this year is going to be interestingshe thought looking around at all the students coming in

<3I can make the salt taste like sugar on my hands <3

Ochard Lewis Carol Mumford yawned as her alarm blared The Cave by Mumford and Sons. Reaching over she slapped the button on her alarm clock. Walking over to the door that connected her room to her older brother Duncann's room she pounded on it. "Wakey Wakey Duncaaaann! Time for classes!" she called with a laugh. Of course she would be far ready before her brother. Sometimes the brunette hated school because being a popular people thought they couldn't talk to her. She really wasn't like that, but she couldn't let the popular know... that would get her into big trouble. Even Ocra couldn't understand how she ended up as a popular girl. She had just wanted to be an art girl then was adopted by the pops. Perhaps because of all the money her parents had. Grinning she brushed out her brown hair which currently had an orange streak behind her left ear, and a purple one beside that. She pulled on her dress and brown footless tights. Sitting at her vanity she applied smoky shades of brown and violets. Grinning at herself she applied a light blush. Orchard put a headband in her hair and a scarf around her neck. Standing up from the vanity she slipped her feet into her flats. Running downstairs she nearly knocked poor Duncann over.

The blonde just shook his head and sighed. Of course he was not surprised. Sometimes his sister could be absolutely crazy. The 18 year old was wearing t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Then reaching the end of the stairs he grabbed his hoodie off the banister. He nearly died as his cellphone flying at his face. Duncann scowled as he saw Orca waving her own iPhone. He shook his head and waved at her. "Please, refrain from throwing my cell phone around as though it were your shitty iphone," he teased. Though honestly Duncann did not like the iphone so he had the Glisten. The siblings went into the kitchen to see their father sitting at the table. "Morning," Orca said quietly. Sitting down at the table she was given a bowl of BooBerry Cereal while Duncann received a bowl of Kashi. They ate and then they were out the door. Conversation wasn't much to be had in the morning in the Parks household. Mostly they talked at night or over the phone. Their mother was away conferencing in Las Vegas. The siblings had wanted to go, but of course mother denied them being they would miss the first day of school. Duncann grabbed his bag as well as Orca's. On the way out Orchard grabbed her coat just in case it was cool outside.

The brunette slipped into her brother's BMW and they were off in seconds. He kept the roof up since it was a little chilly today. As they sped down the road both of the kids wondered what would be in store for either of them. The brother was concerned about his classes and baseball, while the sister was worried about the popular kids. As they pulled in Orchard couldn't help, but sigh. Reaching over the male ruffled her hair. "C'mon Orca whale. Cheer up. You'll be fine. You don't have to follow the rules of the populars, just do what you want," he tried encouraging his sister. Her brown eyes looked over at him as she shook her head. "I don't know... I really do not think I would like to have all these rules... I should just be a norm," she answered quietly. Duncann laughed. "Well, not everyone can be as great as me," he grinned. The girl shook her head and stepped out of the car. She hugged her brother and smiled. "I'll text you later. But I should be coming right home as far as I know. Have a good day."

"You too kiddo," he answered. Turning he started walking towards his locker. He saw Airen and Kira by their lockers. "Morning girls, lucky to start school already eh?" he asked lightly with a smile. Waving as he continued on to his locker he started to open it to toss his bag inside.

Orchard went out to the courtyard where the populars usually were. She wished she could go hide in the confines of the art room, but maybe there would be some artsies out in the courtyard too. Looking she saw JB who was in her grade. Lightly she waved as she approached. "Good Morning, how is everyone?" she asked quietly. Lightly she brushed aside some of her brown hair smiling. Looking at them she didn't even look like she belonged. She wore mostly neutrals while the majority wore bright colors, but it's where she was supposed to be she figured.

Icy blue hazel eyes flashed grey as one of her few friends was rudely bumped into by an airheadous ignoramous as she had called the popular rich bints. She chuckled as she watched Airen mumble something, and returning the other girls smile. "You seem to have cut it close this morning." She greeted casually, shaking her hair out from the bun she had it in when she worked with the clay. "Eh. It's doing fine it's just now I have to figure out if I'm really going to spend time doing grass out of the clay or not, then there is also getting someone to model the human figure in certain poses so I can see how I want the two situated under the tree." She sighed as she grabbed a clip and pulled part of her hair back. She pulled from her pocket two folded pieces of paper, passing one to Airen with a small chuckle. "I figured you were either going to be late, or just not show, so I grabbed your schedule as well, amid the disapproving glares of the teachers I might add." She said as she flipped her paper open to study her schedule. She grinned as she saw she got her selected electives. Art class, of course. She had dropped chorus, the teacher annoyed her too much, her middle school chorus teacher was better, and picked up Photography. Math, English, PE, and History. "Sometimes it pays to have daddy's money, it makes for great tutoring, I can pass these easy." She mumbled off softly, before looking back up. "So what do you have? Oh, guess what dad did?" She asked with a smile as she pocketed the folded paper.

- Landon "L" Black -

Looking up from the iPod in his hand, the tall Freshman frowned. The popular kid that had just gotten mowed over was cursing under her breath, brushing herself off as though plagued by the touch of some disease. The sight made Landon, L, glare at her as she passed by. What a stuck up snob. They always were. All those nursed-into-life, never-experienced-a-thing-for-real kids didn't know what struggle was. And Landon had seen more than enough of it in his 16 years of life. Far too much of it had taken it's toll on him. Undoubtedly, half these kids didn't know what pain really meant.
Forcing away thoughts of home, L then continued by a group of girls that had gathered in the hall, his teal eyes scanning over them quickly. They weren't familiar, but they might have been in a few of his classes. He still didn't know names - it was too soon. And he wasn't good with names, just faces. It was always like that. Not much to remember if you didn't have lots of friends. L never had liked getting involved with people if all they did was leave you behind after taking part in stabbing you in the back. That's what they always did.
Turning up his music, something loud and dark, L pushed by a few others with a sigh. I don't like it here. Then again, he'd never liked school. All it ever did was destroy his life, and then make him feel bad about it. Like it was really his fault - as if. Landon's dark hair fell into his face as he let his gaze become downcast. Pushing on to his class, the youth didn't bother even meeting the gaze of any of the other students. It wasn't worth it. He didn't want to get to know anyone if it meant actually dealing with them. It was easier to ignore the world if you were blind to it, after all.

((Sorry it's so short for a first post . . . I'll add more in real quick. *edits as best she can*))

"Know one thing, I am not afraid."

Asha was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing. Al Green was singing 'Lets Stay Together' in that voice of his at five-thirty in the morning. What a good awful time to be awake. She rubbed her eyes as she reached to the floor where her phone lay. It was just a simple phone that did what it needed to. Nothing fancy just a ten dollar phone that went with the plan she had. She flipped the phone open and the bright light hit her eyes but she didn't blink, just let the spots dissipate so she could see who was calling.

The name on the phone read 'Cara Reed', family friend. Probably with well wishes. Probably didn't realize that even though it was about ten in the morning where she was, in England, it was too early here. She shook her head at the phone and snapped it shut. Almost mechanically she made her bed and straightened her pillow in record time and was in and out of her room and shower quickly. No reason not to start the day off early. She'd just go for a run this morning, a regiment from early days. She tightened her sneakers on her feet and headed out the door.

When she got home she showered and had another quick breakfast. A bagel and a hot coffee that scolded her throat then sooth it. But she didn't react to that either, other then a small wince. Every thing was a haze. She used the time jogging to clear her head of morning fog but the thoughts that persisted happened to cause more problems. Another year, it was another year at that school, another year dealing with children who didn't realize their future peers were their current ones. She was always amazed by the intricate societies that high schools tended to form themselves into. It was like little colonies, it had given her the final project for her seniors this year and they would participate or fail, whether they liked it or not.

Her eyes were on the green clock that showed 0700. It was seven in the morning. She had time to get to school and spread out her things. Most people were late to her class if they had it first period anyway. Asha changed into a white blouse, black-blue slacks and matching jacket along with a simple watch, and a pair of black stiletto heels, her small pleasure, and headed out to her car with suitcase in hand. That car was her fathers baby, something that looked old on top and new on the inside. It was a beautiful car and an old one, she could never sell the thing not for any offered price. A precious heirloom.

She parked in the teachers parking lot and glanced around at the cars. The students seemed to be arriving in their own cars or with their parents. Asha took the time to just watch them as she leaned against the car. She greeted the other teachers as they made their way onto campus and after while she did too. She made a quick stop in the office to get her class rosters before heading straight to her class room. She recognized a few students on her way and gave them acknowledging smile but never stopped walking her heels clicking at her steady pace.

Sophie sat up, her alarm shaking her bed slightly telling her it was time to wake up. She groaned, feeling the vibrations, and stretched. Oh, it was a lovely day outside. Before she could totally get up her middle sister, Charlie, skipped in, and started signing to her.

Morning Soph! Mom made breakfast! Come on!

Sophie smiled and stretched again, before signing a quick reply.
I will be down soon, Char.

Charlie nodded and walked out, and back downstairs to the kitchen while Sophie got herself up, and dressed in the outfit that she had picked out for today, before heading downstairs and hugging her parents, and sisters.

Good morning everyone!

They did their best to eat breakfast together every morning, whenever they could. As soon as they were done with breakfast and had cleaned up everything, she went to go and gather up their school supplies that she needed and headed out to her Car that she had gotten for her 16th birthday as a present from her parents. Heading to school, Sophie smiled, looking forward to this semester. Parking at school, she headed over to get their class schedule.

Looking down she saw that she had:
Period 1: History
Period 2: English
Period 3: Chemistry
Period 4: Photography
Lunch
Period 5: Sign Language
Period 6: Math

Making a face when she saw Math, as it wasn't her favorite subject, but she knew that she could get through it. But all in all not too bad, she looked around before heading to her first class, History, excited to see which classes she shared with friends.

Airen smiled at Kira. "Kiki you're a life saver." She said with a grin and looked over her schedule. Her fist class was science...not that bad. Comparing the two schedules before Kira put hers away she grinned. "We have History together third period. And what?" This definitely improved her day. She did have PE since she flat out told the principle if he gave her PE she wouldnt go to a single class. When Airen heard Duncann's voice she looked up and gave an eyeroll. "Oh yeah im so excited. Not." Grabbing her science math and history books she slammed her locket shut. "Im just glad I only have two more years till im out of this hell-hole." Airen glanced up as what seemed to be a new kid passed them. He had black hair with white and blue streaks in it which automatically peaked her intrest.

Riley's alarm was loud and blaring and he knocked it off the night stand. "Ugghh.." He groaned getting out of bed. It was 5:30 am. It was routine for him to get up and take an hour jog before school. Pulling on a white beater, some shorts and his sneakers he was out the door . Riley was listening to 30 Seconds to Mar as he ran around his neighborhood. Once it was 6:15 he started to head home. As he headed upstairs he could see his mother leaving her bedroom and kissed her cheek. "Morning Mom." He said with a smile and she smiled. "Morning Riles". While she headed down to the kitchen Riley jumped in the shower. After he was all clean he pulled on a white t-shirt and jeans and some plain black converse. His father had already left for work and Arianna was currently in the hospital. Grabbing his bag Riley went downstairs to his mother in the kitchen, she was making coffee. "You going to see Anna in the hospital today?" Rebecca nodded and poured the coffee. "As soon as i get dressed the doctor says she is doing alot better." The boy smiled. "Thats great, soon she'll be in school with me again". His mother gave him a look as to say "dont go there." Riley chuckled and grabbed his keys. "See ya mom." "Come straight home after practice!" She yelled after him. "Gotchya!" The door slammed behind him as he beeped his jeep open and hopped in driving towards the school.

Walking into the office Riley got his schedule and looked it over. He had science first, bummer, he wasnt that good at science. "Oh well.." He mumbled and headed out towards the courtyard to find his teammates. Seeing Orca and Jb he gave them a smile. "Hey girls, how was your summer?"

Her eyes slowly slid up and her skeleton like body cracked as it came to life. Alina hated waking up early. It was always so terrible. She could hear her brother in the shower. Pulling the covers over her head and planting a pillow on top of that. Next came the stomping. Oh god no. Alina curled herself into a burrito. It was her brother. She could smell the axe. Squeezing her eyes shut Alina felt the tug but the blanket did not unwrap. Instead, a plop to the floor. A yelp and muffle a bunch of words.

"Jerk...." Alina mumbled into her pillow. She hated being woken up early. Certainly by her brother. It was a lot better when her alarm clock actually worked. Though it didn't anymore after she threw it against the wall and broke. Yeah, not a good thing to have the alarm on high and right next to your head and forget to turn it off on your weekend. Unwrapping herself she hit her brother's knees.

"Wakey, wakey Lina Bina.Time for school." He smiled. Mason could only help but smile. He could tell Alina didn't get good sleep again. She never on school nights. Alina's eyes looked so dark it was if she had two black eyes. Black and green booty shorts and a black tank top is what covered her body. Picking her up princess style Mason took Alina to the bathroom. "Hurry up. You don't want to be late." He shut the door behind her. Alina just looked at the running water.

After what seemed like forever she came out in a towel and slumped to her room. Putting on a clean pair of underwear and skinny jeans. To finish it off a orange and white striped tank top. Alina looked at herself in the mirror on the dresser. Her eyes were red and underneath them there were dark nearly black circles. Needing make up Alina finished herself up. Eyeliner, mascara, and some blush to make herself look more alive. Stomping down stairs leaving a wet foot trail behind her.
A slam of the back door startled Alina.

"Jesus, Lina. What is up with you? Take too many steriods?" Her brother Mason came out from behind the door. Alina raised an eyebrow and shook her head with a sarcastic smile.

"Not enough. Got anymore?" She put her hand out and flicked her fingers pretending that he would give her some. No she didn't take steriods. Thoguh she would love something that would give her energy right now. It was like Alina was a zombie. Mason gave her hug and teased her hair. Alina pushed herself away from her brother and started to head for the front door.

Slipping on her boots she walked out the door. "Bye big bro!" Alina called out from behind and shut it walking down the sidewalk. It was so easy to get to school from her house. A walk down the street and then cross the crosswalk and bam! Your arrival is at school.

The big front doors awaited her and she pushed past them quite quickly. In a hurry. Passing people in a blur. To stop in a middle of a crowd. Near the hallways. Alina immediately started to push herself towards the doors. Only to smacked into the lockers and luckily. It was her locker too. Dialing the combination she yanked her jansport backpack out and flung it over back. :Why must school start so early...?" She mummbled to herself sticking in her headphones and blasting her ipod. While teasing with her hair.

Sophie could feel the vibrations of everyone's footsteps as they headed to their classes and caught up with everyone. Sometimes she felt alone, in her own world, but she was ok with that. She noticed Alina walking half asleep, and she tried to get her attention by waving, and trying to push her hair back to try to get it to behave.

Alina wasn't paying much attention at first but saw something move. Like a wave or something. Her eyes looked around and then she noticed it was Sophie. Clicking pause on her ipod Alina stuffed it back into her pocket. Walking over to the girl. "Hey Sophie." Alina smiled. Giving Sophie a friendly hug. Standing on her tip toes to make herself look taller. Alina laughed at herself and smiled.

Sophie laughed softly to herself, and nodded to Alina hugging her back. She dug quickly in her purse for her notepad and her pen, writing down her response.
Hello there Alina. How was your summer?
She handed Alina the notepad, with a nod.

Alina shook her head and smiled as she received the note pad. Scribbling quite horribly as she still wasn't fully awake and alert to everything. It looked like cursive but it was barely readable.
Hey Sophie. It was alright I guess. What about yours? ((:
Alina handed Sophie back the pad with a laugh.

Sophie squinted down at the response, blinking a few times, before finally figuring out what it said. She smacked her hand to her forehead, after pointing to herself. She shook her head, chuckling quietly, at least that's how it seemed to her.
That's good to hear. Mine went good. Got to finally take that trip over to England that my parents have been promising us for ages now. It was a blast! What classes do you have this semester? Sorry about the note pad, too tired to even think about signing right now.
She over exaggerated how tired she still was with a big fake yawn, and smiled, handing the notepad back.
