@young-and-loaded we could say something like Grey goes over to a friend for a sleepover and of course chooses that over Derek and Charlotte, so they go over to her place just the two of them?

Huntington Beach, California - the city of your childhood. You were born here, and for a while, it seems like it's heaven on earth. You've got friends, as well as enemies, and lots of free time to explore the world. Your childhood seems to be absolutely fantastic in Huntington, and you know you never want to leave that place.
 
However, at some point your parents decide to leave Huntington Beach for various reasons. Some leave because of their jobs, divorces, better schooling for you, or just for the sake of leaving that beautiful seaside city. But you're just a kid, and they don't understand that leaving will just leave a huge part of your childhood behind, the city that you once called home was going to turn into just some other place in the United States.
 
Years pass, and now that you're legally an adult yourself, you start wondering what you'll be doing with your life, once you've left your parents' nest. What is there to do, in such a huge, cold world? You return to Huntington Beach. And your biggest surprise is that your childhood friends and enemies have decided to do the same thing as well. Some are here to get married and establish families, some are looking for jobs, others are just taking a year off just to sort out their lives before getting used to the nine to five routines and all that jazz.
 
But what if your childhood best friend turns out to be the biggest b'tch in the world? And what if your crush is getting married with the wrong person? What if you have changed so much that your younger self wouldn't even recognise you? Huntington Beach is bound to never be the same place as things change between the people you used to know so well when you were a kid.
 
Will you break promises? Will you make mistakes? Will you find friendship in people you never thought you'd like, or will you just try to make things the way they were when you were a child?

it took alaska quite a while to get used to the school. too many people, too many stories, too many supernatural powers. she was already feeling unsure about going to brighton, since she didn't feel like she was ever going to fit in. but then again, did she ever fit in, anywhere at all? the school counsellor had already eyed her and even specifically asked for her to stop by whenever she felt like she was not in a good mood, but alaska obviously ignored the tall and strange looking man, telling him that she was fine, thank you very much. she had been skipping classes, too, and today was no difference. after spending most of the day in a corner of the library documenting herself about contemporary artists and their works, she decided to go outside towards the interior garden and just sit down under a tree and read. the girl wasn't yet totally sure she could take a cigarette out of her purse without getting detention, but she was pretty sure she'd simply say she had a free period if anybody came to bother her. it was something she had learnt from the ones that had been around there for longer than her, assuring her that nobody ever noticed your absence unless you made a habit out of skipping the same class. sighing lightly, the girl walked towards a tree that was providing shadow in the interior garden and say down under it, taking her book out before looking around her a bit, taking her a moment for the first time since she had gotten there to admire the actually lovely architecture of the school.

if there was something oliver hated more than having his phone at 10% battery with no charger around, it was definitely geometry. it just simply failed to make any sense to him, and he didn't even really care about it all that much. in fact, he actually didn't care about most of his classes, finding a large number of them annoying or deadly boring. geometry was both hideously boring and annoying, which pushed him to such levels of boredom that he was actually turning his notebook into a journal, writing all sorts of nonsense as he managed to zone out, until he was saved by the bell. lunch time, finally. walking out of the classroom after everybody else had left, he cleared his throat and put on that fabulous smile of his, walking down the hallway as he waved at some people and nodded to some friends, winking and complimenting a few girls on his way to the cafeteria. ah, how much he loved the lunch break. every day, it was the peak of his social activity within school hours, and it was as if the school turned into a worship-oliver-abott-or-die kind of place. smiling and smirking to himself, he headed over to the counter, ordering himself his especially personalised meal before heading out towards the interior garden, leaving everybody desperate to spend the break with him, hurrying up to finish eating before going to the school's celebrity. ah, life was good.

name | alaska banks
age | 18
bio or character study | alaska was born in the most boding family of all. her parents were so poor, all they had was money and the impressive collection of sports cars and horses in their backyard. the lifestyle they seemed to be so happy about seemed absolutely ridiculous in alaska's eyes, every year growing more and more distant from her family. she simply couldn't find her place in their world, with fancy parties and huge amounts of money spent in a heartbeat at shops such as louis vuitton, gucci or chanel. she hated getting all dressed and 'pretty' for the visitors that never seemed to stop coming up at their door, and most of all loathed how superficial everybody was around her.
so, at the age of seventeen, she ran away from home. it wasn't all that much of a runaway in her parents' eyes at first, since she had her credit card which they still fill up monthly, but after a whole year of not hearing from her at all, they decided to stop trying. that one year was quite a strange year for her, not only running away from her posh life, but also finding out that she had some sort of supernatural powers. it all happened when she was aimlessly walking around the woods, getting deeper and deeper in. at some point she stumbled upon a dead deer, and she simply knelt by it in curiosity, trying to see what had happened. she was still quite warm, the girl found out, under her hand, alaska assuming it had happened not very long before. however, after patting the deer for a few minutes, she realized that it was slowly starting to move, her body getting warmer and the animal soon opened its eyes, running away.
it was very confusing at first. she had no idea whether the deer incident was a pure coincidence or her paranormal powers starting to show, but eventually she got a letter from brighton and finally understood what it was all about.
alaska can often come out as grumpy and not very friendly, but that is only the surface. she does take a long time to pick the people she wants to be friends with, and even a longer time to let them know she things they're cool. most of the time she'd act like she is totally invincible and out of reach, having been called the ice hearted queen so many times in her life that she was actually getting used to it. she never cries, and never gets too attached, preferring books and music over people. if she's not indoors, you'd most probably find her sitting under a tree, sketching or reading while listening to music and smoking. having some time alone is essential to alaska, since spending too much time around a lot of people makes her dizzy. you may say she is a total freak, but to that she'd either show you the middle finger or say that you're just as freaky as she was, and walk off.

name | oliver abott
age | 17 1/2
bio or character study | oliver is salt lake city's superstar and that is pretty much everything you need to know about him. his parents, two rich antrepreneurs of new york city, decided when he was thirteen to send him off to his grandparents in utah in hopes they would manage him better than they did. little did they know their child was not going to change the tiniest bit, deciding right away to transform the city into his very own new york, or l.a, which was a much more appealing place for him.
up until the age of fifteen there really wasn't all that much to him other than he was really good looking, had the best clothes, a tons of girls drooling for him and huge amounts of 'pocket money'. in fact, he was pretty much a douche back then. he'd just walk around breaking hearts and act like he was the most important person in the world. however, things changed a bit the day he turned fifteen, when his grandfather died and he found out about his power.
it took his a great deal of determination to get over his loss, and a whole lot more to understand what on earth was going on with him. every time he concentrated on some object, it would change forms or turn into a completely different thing, which at first scared the sh't out of him.
oliver is the outgoing type of guy. he accepts almost anybody in his group of friends and likes breaking hearts on a daily basis. his passions are photography, partying and generally having a good time, letting loose and just not giving a damn at all. he doesn't often let his emotional side come out, but it does happen sometimes when he is with people he can trust. most of the times he's just joking around and teasing, but when it comes to friendship he rarely ever breaks promisses or hurts his mates' feelings. if you really want to get to know oliver, you just need to get over the arrogant and carefree surface then figure out a way to his heart and you'll find an actually pleasant person in him. you just need a lot of patience.
