more info about them below!

Tobias “Toby” Blevins (BLU Scout); Black English immigrant. Lives in a town of Hackney near a district in East London, England. Worst possible town to live imaginable, but their family can manage (Maybe). Has been playing baseball all life, but he has to work his way to earn his rightful place to be one of the best of the best. Amazing accuracy for a pitcher to let every player throw off their guard. Fastest sprinter in the team, stealing home-base. If you ever had the chance to see his room, it's covered in gold medals and trophies head to toe. But it never really displayed his other hobbies. Or even who he is at all.

Raol Badillo Delgado (BLU Heavy); Hispanic Latino, later soon moved to America. Lives in a town from the province of La Habana Vieja (Old Havana), Cuba. There's a homey coffee shop run by a small family right around the corner of the Plaza. Everyone's tired faces spread a corner of their mouths an upturn grin, once you have a taste of their coffee. Raol was the heart of this establishment, carrying the heavy load that not even a team of four could handle. But he can stir up a kickass coffee. Upholding tradition for every elders to come and visit again, pinching his cheeks too roughly. Robbers and vandalizing are handled outside the block to not disrupt the environment for his customers. Oh yeah and he's strong too I suppose.

A city tour of Havana （mark this）

Havana's streets are a living museum of architectural styles, telling the story of Cuba's rich history and cultural influences. As I wander through the old quarter, I'm awestruck by the melange of colonial, baroque, art nouveau and art deco buildings lining the narrow roads.

（Wiki, 2009）

One of the most impressive sights is along the Paseo del Prado, a grand boulevard with rows of stately neoclassical mansions painted in vibrant pastels. Their wrought iron grilles, overhanging balconies and terracotta tiled roofs evoke the elegance of 18th century Havana.

（Thin，2022）

Nearby, the Plaza Vieja showcases exquisite examples of Cuban baroque architecture with its ornate facades and picturesque archways. Buildings like the Casa del Conde Jaruco feature intricately carved stone, while the Iglesia del Espíritu Santo church dazzles with its yellow and white kilometer towers.

（Thin，2022）

But some of my Favorite Street scenery comes from the eclectic, time-worn buildings where habaneros go about their daily lives. Laundry hanging from wrought iron balconies, elderly men playing dominoes on stoops, children kicking soccer balls in the streets - it's these animated scenes backed by the vintage architectural canvas that capture the true spirit of Cuban urbania.

(Thin,2022)

Havana's streets may be rough around the edges, but the dazzling mix of architectural styles and rich patina of ages is irreplaceable eye candy for any traveling aesthete.

𝑺𝒐 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 5 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑪𝒖𝒃𝒂 🇨🇺? ………………………… Well this depends on the types of experiences you are looking to have. 𝑰 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒕 : $300 in 5 days 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒅 : Between $2,000 - $2,500 on me 𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐮𝐩. I know…you are probably like…😱. 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 ���𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔. As an American, our credit cards 💳 are not accepted and good luck finding an 🏧 that will actually accept them, cause it’s nearly impossible. This is why it is important that you carry as much as you think you will need when traveling. …………………………. 𝑰 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒍𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 “𝑪𝒂𝒔𝒂 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓” 🏠 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 @airbnb Find a reputable host, with great reviews! They will more than likely be able to tell you how much you will need to exchange for the days of your stay. They will also be able to help you make that currency 💴 exchange using “𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔,” as I like to call it. 😅 …………………………… For example, my host, Damien, was the best!!! He told me exactly how much I would need for 5 days, and made a quick phone call ☎️ to a friend of his. Not long after, the friend showed up on a bicycle 🚴, with dollar-to-dollar amount I needed : $300 USD to Cuban Pesos I had never seen anything like this! 🤣 But I was told this is the norm. Which makes sense, cause there really is no way to change the money back to USD, once you’ve converted it to Cuban Pesos. ➡️ 𝑺𝑶 make sure you bring enough money in your country currency for the duration of your trip. ➡️ 𝑩𝑼𝑻 only exchange the exact amount you’ll need 𝑰𝑵 𝑪𝒖𝒃𝒂. Make sure you are able to use it all in Cuba.

Character Intro: Emilio (The Rat Pack)

Full name- Emiliano Garcia (no middle name)

Birthday- April 24th

Age (in novel)- 18

Place of birth- Miami, Florida

Favorite color- Purple

Favorite season- Summer

Favorite food- Hawaiian Pizza

Favorite ice cream flavor- Dulce de Leche

Other info- He's Cuban-American & fluent in Spanish.

Emilio has a job at the restuarant his parents own in Little Havana. He's a waiter & he sometimes handles the delivery orders. He also has a part-time job at a latin dance studio, owned by a family friend.

He's openly gay. Emilio came out to his friends & family when he was 13. His father asked jokingly, "Are you still Catholic?" to which he responded, "Yes." His father smiled and said that's all that matters.

He smoked his very first Cuban cigar with his father, as a congrats when he recieved his admissions letter from the University of Seattle in Washington. Emilio hopes to obtain a law degree and become a lawyer, practicing human rights law.

He was voted "Class Clown" in the yearbook!

Emilio is nicknamed "Mr. Suave" & "Señor Dulce" by his friends and most people in school.

His first kiss (with a girl) happened at his Sunday School with a girl named Angelina. He was nine. Emilio's real first kiss happened with Harry, the love of his life & ex-boyfriend.

Emilio first met Harry when he was sixteen at Giselle Blanco's pool party (and belated quinceañera). He was doing Jell-O shots as he noticed Harry swimming in the pool. Later in the party, the two struck up a conversation & Harry ended up dropping Emilio off at home. For the next few weeks at school, they hung out at lunch (as they didn't share any classes) and messaged each other. At a school carnival fundraiser, Harry won a stuffed koala which he gave to Emilio. On the weekend, when they were hanging out at an arcade, Emilio suddenly felt the urge to kiss him, so he did. Although taken aback, Harry smilied, saying, "What took you so long?" The two began dating afterwards. They would always surprise each other with love notes they stuffed in each other's lockers. They had to keep their relationship a secret (so Harry's conservative family wouldn't find out). A year later, they had sex for the first time with each other in Harry's car at a cliffside beach. As time went on, Emilio grew tired of having to be a secret & and the fact that Harry publicly had a girlfriend. During a huge blowout argument, Harry abruptly ended things- threatening to beat him up if he ever told anyone about their relationship. Emilio tried to win him back (by taping a dandelion on Harry's locker- his favorite flower), but Harry sent him a text, telling him that he had to start living right for the sake of his family. A few days before the senior prom, Emilio was visited by Harry & they later hooked up.

He loves listening to merengue and bachata music! He also loves listening to Bruno Mars, Shakira, Gloria Estefan, Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Doja Cat, Jennifer Lopez, Ed Sheeran, & Celia Cruz.

Emilio's recieved gifts from his friends including a magenta "Cubans Do It Better" T-Shirt from Iris, a caricature portrait and aquamarine stone ring from Roseline, a surfboard from Hudson, & a special DVD edition of the movie Selena from Owen.

𝑨𝑵𝑨... Fueron muchas las poses que me dio para la sesión. Todas serias y degustando su tabaco que encendía varias veces para poder soltar el humo, cómo efectos especiales. El lugar estaba lleno y llovía a cántaros. Todas las mesas llenas y poco lugar para caminar. Llego ella a donde yo estaba a preguntarme si podía sentarse en una silla dónde una amiga de mi mesa la había desocupado para comprar una cerveza. Yo le dije que estaba ocupada pero que yo le sedia la mía. Lo pensó varias veces como quien no quiere molestar y me dijo que no, yo insiste y ella tomando asiento, rápidamente se hizo parte del grupo y comenzamos a conversar. Ella estaba con dos amigos que se sumaron de forma muy pasiva. Era fácil de llevar, entre seriedad y sonrisas mezcladas con tabaco y humo me dijo su nombre y volvió a absorber de su cabo. Así paso un tiempo hasta que sus amigos encontraron una mesa para sentarse. La llamaron: - Ana, aquí tienes una asiento, ven para acá. Ella volteó la cabeza seguidos por su tabaco y el humo hizo un efecto redondo en su rostro. Fue en ese preciso instante dónde se me ocurrió tomarles unas fotos. Le dije: - Ana! Te quiero tirar unas fotos fumando tabaco. Me miró como desconcertada y no lo pensó dos veces para decirme un rotundo NO!!!. Yo insistí y otro NO, estoy fea! Levemente salió de su boca en forma de vapor. Cuando se trata de fotografías no soy de los que se da por vencido fácilmente, así que la convencí con entusiasmo fotográfico. No reía en las fotos. Estaba seria. Me imagino que así ella se imaginaba a las modelos. La dejé fluir. Cuando le enseñé las fotos, me dijo: Quedé linda!!! Con alegría infantil de alguien que ve su retrato por primera vez. Me hizo muy feliz saber que le gustaba verse en las fotos. Sus amigos la llamaron nuevamente - Ana, ven pa' 'ca ya!!! Ella sabía que era tiempo de compartir con ellos y me abrazó y me dio las gracias y me dijo algo que recordaré eternamente: Me has tocado el corazón. Y se fue a su silla. Seguramente a dar más alegrías porque me parece que así es ella... Muchas Gracias Ana! #fotos #fotografia #ana #bar #habana #tabaco #cerveza #yoyosphotograph (at Calle Obispo, La Havana Vieja) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cis40aLJtl7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
