good old days

in high school, you were the best of friends. all seven of you, though different, came together because of one person. and his name is joshua wellington.

well, his name was joshua wellington.

your group of friends was well known by everyone in school and out of it. you may not have been the popular socialiser but everyone knew who you were anyway. you all had your own niche, but you all had your wild sides too. you shared a lot together. tears, romance, and of course, lots of in house drama.

after high school, you all went your separate ways. some of you kept in touch. others may not have. but now, five years later, you find yourself all coming together again due to the mysterious death of the very successful joshua wellington.

in his memory, all six of you remaining decide to head up to a beach house you used to hang out in as teenagers. it belonged to joshua. you decide to spend a week there to catch up, though the main aim is to disperse his ashes into the ocean, as he had declared he had always wanted.

now that you're all back together, will secrets you've kept hidden come out? will pend up feelings bubble to the surface? the possibilities are endless...



So, I really liked the idea of this and I think it's kind of my fault that it fell apart the first time around, but I would really like to reboot it and get it going, hopefully long term this time around. i've even spent some time reworking the characters so it's slightly different but also a bit more organised, if that makes sense, and it's also slightly influenced by the characters we made before. I'll put them below, but do you guys think you would be into giving it another shot? i think instead of continuing the old one, making fresh new characters, though still similar, might make it better.

characters


  • [ open ]

    the golden girl. the one that's got everything figured out. or so it seems. she's gorgeous, she's popular, and she can make people run circles around her, but it all just hides the fact that she comes from a broken home. her dad died a long time ago and she's been left with her sister and perfectionist mother who constantly verbally abuses her if she doesn't do well in school or cheerleading. she's been forced her whole life to put on a perfect front, and it's turned her into a bit of a bitch. she and the rebel don't get along because she can't stand the idea there's someone else who stands up to her.

    the boy next door. the athlete. another popular one in the group, and a major flirt. he comes from a rich household, run by only a father, since his mother died a long time ago. his twin sister is the rebel, and they grew close because their father was constantly on them, pressuring them into being the best. as a result, they both ended up choosing different paths than what their father intended. he worked hard to try and get a football scholarship, but he also kept secrets, like the fact that he stole money after his dad cut him and his sister off. he and the cheerleader used to date once upon a time and there may still be feelings left around to sort through.

  • [ taken ]

    she is the twin sister of the jock. like him, she grew under the pressure of her father who wanted them to join the family business and become lawyers. he's entirely money minded and a total crook who won't stop at anything to get what he wants. she is sure he's been up to some shady business as well, which led her further away from him. she rebelled in every possible way, staying out late, going to parties, drinking. she has her secrets too though -- like how she was dealing drugs for a short period of time in order to earn money when she got cut off from her father. she and the bad boy are best friends.

  • [ taken ]

    he's the total nerd. he can always be seen with his computer, and he does jobs for people, tracking things down or getting info for them -- all at a price of course. he started this out in order to help his mother. his dad was a deadbeat who never stuck around and his mother soon was diagnosed with cancer. they were struggling to make ends meet from the start and it got worse with medical bills, so he put his talent with computers to good use to make some money. he's the guy that knows pretty much everything about anyone, but keeps to himself most of the time. he usually responds with quips and sarcasm. he has harboured a major crush on the nice girl for a long time.

  • [ taken ]

    she's the quiet one. the one that prefers to just observe instead of passing commentary or bluntly giving her opinion. she's intelligent, always first in class, but she's been dealing with some demons of her own, like an eating disorder that stemmed from when she was in middle school and was bullied by some of the popular kids. she too, was pressured by her mother to become something great, but she was always more polite and more conservative than her older sister, the cheerleader. she loves to help people but holding her feelings in can only last so long and soon enough, she may just snap.

  • [ open ]

    he's the guy from the wrong side of the tracks. trouble seems to find him wherever he goes. he's bounced around various different foster homes and has never truly known who his parents were. his current foster parents couldn't give a shit about him either, but he couldn't care less because he has a bed to sleep in at the end of the day. he hung around with some bad company for a short while and as a result, he has a secret that he's been struggling with. he has harboured feelings for the rebel for a while now but he and the jock don't get along.
