A Night to Remember (Part 3)

Part 1 here

Part 2 here

     Derrin stormed away from the restaurant fuming. Why did this dickhead make him feel so many things? Why did he care about what he thought of him or what he did for him? He hadn’t in the past… Why now? There was nothing special about him. He’s an asshole that, in reality, Derrin should have just blown off and forgot about. He just, didn’t understand why Jackson had such a hold on him that he started to care what the guy thought of him.

       His entire life Derrin couldn’t care less about others. He didn’t care about his father, nor his mother who he only knew briefly. He didn’t care about Ana or Faulter. So why now. Why now of all times did he suddenly start caring? And about one douche bag who would know struggle if it slapped in the face. He didn’t want to care. Caring only got people hurt, and with someone with and attitude like his, people tried to hurt him a lot.

       Derrin was self-conscious about his attitude. He didn’t know why he was like this but this is just the way he was. That is the complex thing about him, he doesn’t care about others, and doesn’t care about what happens to them, but he still cares what they think of him. He already hated himself enough for being an asshole to everyone, and he didn’t need this pompous jerkoff to rub it in his face. Just the actions enough were a signal that Derrin was a terrible friend. He wanted to get better, he wanted to. He just didn’t know how. It also doesn’t help that, no one would trust him if he just suddenly started being nice. He’d been this way for so long, how could he ever change.

       Hands balled up with anger, Derrin let out a loud groan. He just wanted to do something nice to make up for being an asshole at his office, now look what happened. He just wanted to do something nice for a friend. Why can’t he do anything nice without people judging or overanalyzing it? Derrin was so caught up in his own feelings, he didn’t notice that Jackson was suddenly behind him.

       “Derrin! What has gotten you so worked up?! You made us both look like a fool in there, and we didn’t even finish the dinner you invited me to!” Jackson’s voice was so far from what Derrin needed to hear, it made his head spin. The audacity this pompous rich kid had to blame the turn of tonight’s events on him. Derrin’s back was to Jackson and Derrin was trying his hardest not the punch the guy and knock him out. Slowly, Derrin turned around to face Jackson. Face completely a dark shade of blue.

       “What… What has gotten into me? What has gotten into me?! I came out here and invited you to dinner after a very stressful day at work, because I felt bad for the way I treated you. I came out here, expecting to here to have a nice night with a friend. Yet you sit across from the with the audacity to judge everything that I have been doing for you!” Jackson went to cut him off to say something, but Derrin wasn’t having any of that tonight.

       “Don’t you dare think about cutting me off you piece of shit!” Derrin was starting to go light headed. He didn’t need this. He didn’t need him. Hell, he didn’t need anyone for that matter. He was doing just fine before and he won’t let the arrival of these dimwits’ ruin that.

       “I’ve had just about enough of you and your insufferable bitching and moaning about the Queen and Ana. For you to even think that, that was an okay thing to bring up during tonight’s dinner and rub it in my face that you would rather be with them than me, is beyond me. You are a fucking asshole Jackson Addington. A real asshole.” Derrin’s eyes started to fill with tears, though he blinked them away, hoping that Jackson didn’t notice. Turns out he didn’t. Yet.

       “I’m the asshole?! At least some people like me, seeing as I have friends and you don’t.” As soon as Jackson said it, he knew it was too much, and it’s not like he meant in. He was just confused and upset. Derrin’s eyes grew wide when he heard what Jackson said. Finally tears began to stream down if face freely, too many to wipe away so he gave up, as he did with many things. That was it, the final blow that he would tolerate from the bastard.

       BAM

       Derrin had punched Jackson square in the nose, knocking him to the ground. He’s stronger than he looked. Derrin was glaring down at him, tears streaming down his face, and something dark about him. The atmosphere was tense, and some people who were outside, turned and looked at them. Derrin didn’t care. He was done caring.

       “Listen here asshat. Do NOT contact me. Do NOT come to my work, for the guards will not let you in.” Blood was gushing from Jacksons nose, and one of his teeth had been knocked clean out of his skull.

       “Delete all my contact information. I no longer want to be associated with you. You are a terrible friend, and for anyone to like you is beyond my comprehension. I’ve had jerkoffs like you rubbing it in my face that I’m an asshole all my life, and I’m not going to start caring now. It… It just hurts to know that, that’s how you really think of me. I thought you were finally different.” Derrin’s said that he meant every single word he was saying. Jackson just say on the ground eyes wide as he stared at Derrin.

       “Keep the phone because it is yours now, but do not use it to contact me. If I must I will delete my contact info myself, and I will block you.” Derrin’s even tone was the most unnerving thing about this situation. Normally he’s yelling when he’s mad. Without another word, Derrin gave one last glare at the man on the ground, then turned on his heel, leaving Jackson in a flurry of confusion and blood.

A Night To Remember (Part 2)

Continued from this…

Jackson simpered, looking pleased with himself as he watched the disconcerted expression on Derrin’s face turn almost feverish within seconds.

“Come now, Derrin- a man such as yourself need not be so poked up over a simple compliment. It is true that you make up to be a fine silhouette,” he said, smiling that toothy grin he’d use whenever he was trying to persuade or distract someone. While his disposition led him to feel a bit awkward over Derrin’s sudden invitation to have dinner, he was just relieved to know he hadn’t caused any hardships too heavy for the man to shrug off or deal with. He was mannered after all and knew the times and places for play and for business. From his recent experiences, he knew which category tonight fell under: Play. Yet he couldn’t shake the ingrained notion that Dinner was actually a very different ordeal.

No. Dinner was first and foremost an act of strategic socializing. There were rules to how these things played out, and sending out invitations at least a week in advance was the first one on the list: followed by making sure there was an equal number of men and women with prior knowledge of each other present so as to have relaxed and entertaining conversation: Not to mention the fact that dinner was to be held at the host’s house and not in a halfway-french themed restaurant where soft-yet-unrecognizable music was omitting from the walls (it seemed) at low volumes with strangers all around you talking at increasingly boisterous rates. Jackson was starting to become unnerved. How was he supposed to display his wealth in a commoner’s “eating-house?” as he once heard them mentioned. How-

“You look like you’re about to have a panic attack,” said Derrin’s foggy shape from the across the table. Everything then suddenly came into focus, brighter, as if Jackson had lost himself to Crippling Anxiety and was now being pulled out by Derrin. He would thank him, but there was no need to worry the man over his continued struggle to adjust. That was his problem to sort out, and soon, he hoped. Jackson simply nodded and smiled, regaining his composure with a combing of his hair.

“Not to worry, my friend. I am simply thankful that you would lend me your time on such a hard-pressed day as this. I will need to come up with a suitable method of appreciation for this night, surely. Yes.” He said.

Derrin, who was used to Jackson’s exaggerated way of speaking, knew that all those multi-syllabled words were hiding the visible anxiousness on his face. Did he choose a bad place to eat? Was Jackson not used to restaurants? Did he hate the French? He racked his brain trying to come up with a reason- but ultimately decided to just ask; he didn’t feel like wasting so much brain power when the guy was literally 2 feet away from him. Maybe he should have read that book on Old English History. When was Jackson from again? He put that and many other questions on hold for that night, Jackson was eyeing every patron in the building, looking more and more distressed. Derrin couldn’t help but be a little annoyed. How was he supposed to show Jackson he was sorry when the guy’s clearly uncomfortable being there? He slammed his hand on the table, catching Jackson’s attention.

“Do you not want to be here or something? We can go somewhere else if you want. I don’t care.” He cared a little. Reservations were not cheap after all, and he was trying to apologize for isolating Jackson. Trying and failing apparently. Derrin had spent a whole month catering to this outdated, pompous rich boy- was it so much to ask for a little appreciation? Was he somehow such an ogre that even the most boneheaded of people couldn’t be bothered to recognize when he was trying to be nice? Did it even matter, then? If he gave a damn or not?

He balled his fist as he looked into Jackson’s shocked, stupid face. Why did this guy make him so angry so fast? Why did he care if he upset this idiot? Why… did it hurt?

“Your Appetizers, Sirs: Enjoy.”

—

“The Risotto was simply stupendous, tell the chef that we are ready for the main course.” Jackson smiled at the waiter, finding his British accent quite comforting as well as his human complexion. A sight for sore eyes as his slang book says. He watched as the waiter took his empty bowl in one hand, and Derrin’s nearly full bowl in the crook of his arm. Said waiter walked off feeling a sharp change in the mood once he was several feet away. Jackson, however, was doomed to sit in the overwhelming awkward weight of the table, trying his best to catch Derrin’s eyes and let him know he was sorry. It was proving to be futile, however, as Derrin was making a sport out of avoiding his gaze.

“You know, in my culture, it is considered rude not to address the other person when he is sitting right in front of you.” He said, tone tipping on irritated and finger tapping on the table.

Derrin slouched in his chair, crossing his arms tightly. This was supposed to make things right. Not worse. He sunk further, unsure of how to even begin to make up.

The air hung thickly between the two men. A quiet rage meaning completely different things to them absorbed by their thoughts.

“‘Why is he acting like a child.’”

“‘Why is he such an idiot.’”

Their eyes met in an electric standoff. Derrin stuck his right fist out over the table and wound up an imaginary reel handle, slowly extending his middle finger until he was effectively flipping him off. Jackson had seen this gesture before and was properly annoyed.

“Oh come on!” He mocked.“ Can we please act civilized?” he added, sounding more fatigued than angry.

“Fuck you.” Replied Derrin cooly, his left hand balling into a fist next to his right, mirroring its expression.

Jackson gritted his teeth, seething on the spot. An idea popped into his head, and he was oh so ready to follow through. Drumming his nails loudly against the drapery of the dinner table, he snidely remarked, “I wonder what Her Majesty is doing this night: probably having one of her maids brush that beautiful silver hair of hers. If only I were the one privileged enough to do so; and what of Lady Anastasia? Her strength is comparable to no one- absolutely no one. Don’t you think?” He eyed Derrin, a smirk beginning to form. He looked off into the starry sky.

“If only she would allow me the opportunity to escort her to a dinner much better than this. Done my way. Perhaps, I could show her a different side to me. Perhaps, she could be mine.”

SLAM!

“If you like her so fucking much, why don’t you go make her your friend instead of me, you stupid fucking piece of shit!”

Derrin launched himself off his chair and stormed out of the restaurant.

Jackson was left stunned in his seat, unsure of what to do. He left a disproportionate amount of money on the table and ran off in pursuit.

[luxorgossip]

who do you think teddy should be with?

Well, there’s three in the running. That’s Ceci, Lennon and Alek. But Ceci also seems like she’s into Jackson. So… Lennon or Alek.

Proposal [Mark and Jaebum]

Remember how it was noted that Jaebum almost lost Yuna? Well this was one of the two times. The first was when she wouldn't even give him a chance to date her. This includes some angst, but not enough to have a trigger (: just a good old punch in the face (don't really punch your friend in the face--unless they deserve it) (:

xoxo

Mark

Christmas was Marcie’s and Mark’s favorite time of year. Not only was it near their anniversary since they began to date, but it was a time they both got to see their families for a big reunion. Christmas in LA was always fun for them as their families would spend the day together as a happy family for the past four years. However, this year, the families spent Christmas in snowy Colorado at Marcie’s and Mark’s vacation home. To Mark and Marcie, family was important which was why they were so important with their next step.

Mark had planned proposing to Marcie for the past six months with the help of their parents. Marcie was on an expedition in the United Kingdom and was due to conclude it a week before Christmas. The distance was what made Mark more sure of proposing. Being away from Marcie was normal in their relationship due to their jobs, but he hated being home alone. Mark also feared that one day, Marcie may realize how much better she was without him and leave him.

Marcie was getting out of the airport with her cart of luggage from her several month long trip. She tucked herself deeper into her winter coat as she looked for her family. Her body was sore from all the bending and digging, but it gave her a sense of satisfaction as they may have discovered more history about Stonehenge.

“Ciecie!”

Her head whipped around to see Mark with a giant poster with her parents and his. Forgetting her bags, she ran up to Mark and threw her arms around Mark’s neck. Her father retrieved her bags as Mark held her tightly in his arms taking in her scent. Marcie loved the adventure her work gave her, but she loved her home with Mark so much more. “I love you” she whispered in the crook of his neck.

“I love you more” he kissed her head before she pulled back and he gave her a kiss on the lips.

The family spent the week before Christmas catching up with Mark and Marcie as well as McKenzie and Changkyun who had stopped in to visit and announce their wedding plans for the following year. Marcie was asked to be McKenzie’s maid of honor which Marcie immediately accepted while Changkyun asked Mark to be one of his best men which he readily agreed. Due to the wedding announcement, Mark debated on proposing after their news, but with a push from both their parents and McKenzie’s not so subtle threat, he pushed forward.

Christmas Eve, the families attended church so that Christmas Day, they could spend it together. Everyone was opening presents dressed casually minus Mark and Marcie who had plans afterwards to go celebrate their anniversary. Done with the presents, the parents cleaned up the wrapping paper and subtly moved as McKenzie grabbed her phone and hit record. Mark and Marcie were the only ones by the Christmas tree and Mark couldn’t help the smile that grazed his lips.

Marcie stood to move, but he caught her hand stopping her as he reached for the final present, “This one is for you from me.” A blush crossed his face as Marcie took the small bag.

Cooly she pulled out the gift paper and found a jewelry box. She smiled expecting another ring or earring to add to the collection Mark had already given her. However, when she flipped open the box, she let out a gasp before looking at Mark who was kneeling before her.

Mark cleared his throat as he felt nervous. “I found the reason for my smile, the day I met you. You complete me, make me, and fulfil me. So will you marry me, Marcie Delilah Addington?”

Marcie’s shaky hand was over her mouth as tears fell down her face. Words would not form and she nodded her head. Mark stood up and took the ring out the box and placed it on Marcie’s finger as the family cheered. He wiped her face of the fallen tears before he kissed her.

Jaebum

To say Jaebum took Yuna for granted was an understatement. It’s not that he meant it on purpose, but he was so used to her being there by his side. At least she had been until she walked out the door of their shared apartment with a small bag of clothes. The slamming of the door was the only noise that was made. Jaebum sat on the couch unmoved from his position. The emotions in him swirled, anger, sadness, betrayal, but most importantly emptiness. Yuna walked out on him. The woman he promised his life to stabbed him in the back-- and it was all his fault.

Yuna wiped a tear off her cheek as she tried to maintain her calm exterior. She was broken inside, but as she walked down the hall past the neighbors she sure heard their shouting match--she held her head up high. She wouldn’t cry. Not there where people would judge her. Where people would assume he left her. Paparazzi would eat up that story and his fans would believe it as they have always hated her. The elevator opened and shut once she was inside. When she was finally alone, her tears spilled and she let out a sob down ten floors of their apartment complex. Her heart felt like it was being ripped apart as she descended down to the main lobby. When she was free from the elevator, she fled no longer caring for the stares of others as she raced out to her car.

A week of silence from Jaebum is what led the others to investigate starting at his apartment. Mark punched in the code to the apartment and opened the door to darkness. The guys rushed inside and saw Jaebum on the couch fast asleep with his phone clutched in his hand. “Jae?” Mark approached him and gave him a shake.

Jaebum shot up, “Yuna!” He exclaimed but his sadness returned when he saw the guys, “It’s just you guys.”

“Just us?” Jinyoung’s eyebrow rose, “You haven’t answered our texts in over a week and that’s your response to us?”

Jaebum rubbed his eyes, “That’s not what I meant… I just--I expected Yuna to come home and she hasn’t.” The men went silent and tension rose. “She left me” Jaebum explained, causing them to exhale as they had feared something had happened to her.

“Why? Out of all of us, we wouldn’t have expected you two to break up?”

Jaebum felt a wave of guilt, “It’s my fault… I told her I didn’t need a paper to tell me we were in love--”

“Oh no you didn’t” the guys groaned their complaints. “Why would you tell her that? She’s been waiting to be your wife since well forever!” Bambam huffed.

“I know, I didn’t think of that when I said it. Of course, I wanna marry her, but we’re so young…”

“Have you even proposed to her?” Mark countered and Jaebum fell silent. A deafening answer to them and they shook their heads. “You haven’t even bothered to make your relationship serious, dude. No wonder she left.”

Jaebum jumped from the couch and caught Mark by his collar, “I AM SERIOUS ABOUT HER!”

Mark swatted his hands off him as his anger grew, “Really? Where? Fuck, Jaebum we’re all engaged or married and you’re still fucking dating.”

“I know that. I was just waiting for the right time to propose…”

Mark gestured around the dark room, “I say the perfect time has sailed. She’s gone, Jaebum. And instead of going after her, you let her walk out!”

“I KNOW--”

Mark swung at Jaebum, punching him in the jaw. The others reacted as BamBam and Yugyeom grabbed Mark from swinging again while Youngjae and Jackson rushed to Jaebum’s side and Jinyoung stood between them. “Stop moping around and fucking do something.” Mark easily shoved Bambam and Yugyeom off him and he turned to leave. “Get your head out your ass. You aren’t the only one remotely suffering.”

Mark left, leaving the others and Jaebum alone. Jaebum’s hand cradled his jaw as his other hand clenched, “I know he’s right.. I just don’t know what to do.”

“I think you do know what to do, hyung,” Yugyeom replied. And the truth was Jaebum did know but was terrified.

Another week had gone by before Yuna heard any word from Jaebum asking to meet him in their favorite spot--the hill that had a view of the sky. At first, Yuna was going to chuck the letter and tell him to go to hell, but she missed him. Maybe she had over reacted that they were still just boyfriend and girlfriend. Yes, she wanted to be his wife. She loved him so of course she wanted to marry him. She reluctantly gathered herself and got her makeup on before she headed out to the meeting place.

Jaebum checked his watch again for the hundredth time as he moved the bundle of pink roses in his hand. A throat cleared and his head shot up to see Yuna in one of her favorite sweaters and skirts. He had a chance to make up with her! Had this been a breakup, Yuna would have gone a full 9 yards to show what he was losing--something she had done with men who never had the fortunate chance to be with her. The words he had practiced for over a week were gone as he stared at his girlfriend.

“Well? I didn’t come here to be stared at” Yuna scowled. “I was going to meet up with the real estate agent” she lied. She saw the flicker of hurt in Jaebum’s eyes and she began to feel guilt build, but she shook it off. We’re not staying with him if he won’t look to a future with us, she coached herself as she crossed her arms.

Jaebum bit his lower lip as he held out the flowers, “I just wanted to talk to you…” Yuna took the roses and pressed them to her. “You were right.”

“About?”

“Everything. How I was selfish about not wanting to get married and how I only thought of myself.” His hands felt clammy as he tried to speak. “You chased after me for so long and compared to that, the amount of chasing I’ve done has been nothing. But I love you, you have to know tha--”

Yuna pushed her hair off her shoulder, “It’s not enough.”

Jaebum’s shoulders slumped, “I know... “

“You can love me now and eventually find another woman who you love more. Someone you’d want to start a family with. I could be too annoying to be a wife to you…”

Jaebum’s eyes met her in a panic, “I was a kid when I said that. I never--” No, back then he meant it.

Yuna took a seat on the bench as Jaebum watched her, “It’s stupid. We were kids, but to have the guy you were obsessed with at one point to say that to you, even as a kid, is a hit to your ego. Who’s to say you wouldn’t feel that way again?” Yuna sighed. “Maybe we should just call it quits? With GOT7 and your work, doing this” she swung her finger between the two of them “is just going to make your work so much harder.”

She gave him one of her fake smiles and Jaebum wanted to scream. He saw the pain he brought her, the uncertainty she had due to him unable to make them official. Jaebum knew this was more than something he said as a child. This was her love language, she needed action. Words only meant so much to her compared to actions and Jaebum failed. “Don’t you see, you leaving me will make my life harder” he shook his head, “I wouldn’t be able to function without you.” Yuna sighed as she went to stand, but Jaebum placed his hand on her shoulder as he knelt in front of her. “I know I suck sometimes. I don’t show you that you’re the only one for me, but you have to believe me when I say that. You’re as important to me as the boys if not more.” He pulled out a ring box from his pockets and opened it. Yuna’s eyes widened as a gasp escaped her lips. “And I know this is a pretty shitty way to propose, but I had to show you that you are the only one I want. Mook Yuna, will you marry me?”

Yuna’s eyes watered as she looked from Jaebum to the ring. “Idiot…” Jaebum chuckled as he took out the ring and placed it on her finger. “You’re such an idiot.”

Jaebum pulled her into his arms as she cried. Her fist hit him in the chest a couple of times before it stilled and her left hand wrapped around his neck. “I still need an answer.”

“You wanna die? You put me through all this stress and you want an answer?” She pulled back with anger in her eyes. “I should kill you! I’ve lost years off my life because of you. You sho--”

“Oh shut up” Jaebum rolled his eyes playfully as he leaned over and pressed his lips to hers to silence her complaints. He could have sworn she cursed him under her breath, but when she kissed him back he knew he got the answer he needed.

[josiebnntt]

☾ * » Is that JOSEPHINE BENNET? Wow, they do look a lot like KENDALL JENNER. I hear she is a SEVENTEEN year old SENIOR who originally attended CARNIFEX Academy. Word is they are an ARISTOCRAT student. You should watch out because they can be IMPULSIVE and STUBBORN, but on the bright side they can also be LOYAL and PASSIONATE. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself.

Hi everyone, again x 2. lol. I’m Lo. CST.

I’m back, again lol. I see a lot of new people, so here’s my intro. I actually have a full time job and go to uni in the afternoons but I won’t have any classes until September. So I’ll be free most afternoons. I’ll try to be as active as I can. Though I’ll be lurking a lot and might reply a bit in the morning since I’m currently doing home office. I’m so up for old plots and new plots. If you want to plot or just chat, don’t hesitate and hit me up or like ♡ this post.

I used to have a lot of RPing experienced, but to be honest I haven’t done it a lot lately. So yes I might be a little rusty, help me out lol.

Here’s a lot more about Josie:

B A C K G R O U N D   S T O R Y

» Josephine Eliana Bennett. Her family and close friends call her J, Jo, Josie, Eli, Elle or Bennett. 

» Born November 2nd, which makes her a Scorpio in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

» She comes from a wealthy family. Her parents travel a lot, so she isn’t really close to them. She’s close to her Tita, which basically raised her and her siblings. She grew up with everything except her parents love and support.

» Her Tita is not part of the family by blood, but she’s always been there for them to help out raised the Bennett kids. She’s pretty old and wise.

» Josie has two older brothers; Jenkin [24], Jacques [21], a younger sister; Jules who died when she was 7 and a younger brother; Jaden [11]. She is closest to Jacques, due to their personalities.

» Her sister died by drowning and Jo blames herself for it, even though she was only 9 at the time and not responsible for it. She believes her parents blame her for it as well, another reason why she isn’t close to them.

» She started doing art after her sister died, at age 9. Her Tita got her some lessons. It helped her deal with her sister’s death. Therapeutic.She's really good at it, but she has never been that serious about it. Not to become a professional artist. She kept on doing it and it’s the only thing she’s pretty much passionate about.

» Her family ancestors have been attending to Carnifex since it opened, just like her and her siblings.

» Her parents are true believers of the Carnifex / Luxor rivalry and that Carnifex is a thousand times better. Trying to get her parents attention and love she joined the Churchill circle. She beliefs in the cause, specially in a way to get her parents approval even though they aren’t aware of it. She would do anything to prove Carnifex is better than Luxor. Though she would play dumb; a true devil in disguised. UPDATE: She’s not part of the churchill circle anymore, but was.

» She wasn’t in school for a couple of months during the destruction of Carnifex and the transferring of the students, due to a family emergency (or that’s what she made everyone believe). Approved by her previous school and her parents. So she basically join Luxor Academy, a few months after the other’s did though she probably already knows a lot of the students. (This was back on July 2020)

L A S T  C O U P L E  O F  M O N T H S

SEPTEMBER 2019 - MAY 1st, 2020:

» She’s been in school but keeps a very low profile. 

» She started dating this college student, Bentley Boem. He really got her into stronger drugs; cannabis, cocaine, etc. So she started spending less time around school and more time with him and his pals.

»  When she was in Luxor you could spot her in class or sleeping in her dorm. She wasn’t a big participant of school events or her classmate events. She stop doing art as well. 

» Her relationship with her parents is worst. She’s pretty sure they believe she doesn’t exist anymore. She does keep in touch with her siblings but they are so far away, sometimes weeks go by.  

» She doesn’t believe she’s a drug addict but she hasn’t try to leave them, so who knows.

» She just broke up with Bentley. She’s not sure if they were actually a couple, but now she’s going to be more active around school. 

P E R S O N A L I T Y

» Josie is super impulsive and stubborn, which kind of makes unpredictable.

» She likes to party a lot, drink and take substances that will make her forget and relax. Her best mood is when she’s in the clouds. 

» She’s not close to people, unless you have won her over. She doesn’t show her feelings much, so she can be really cold to people even in a hard situation. But not mean, unless you ask for it. She does like to socialize a lot in a superficial kind of way.

» She’s bisexual. She has never fallen in love, though she did had a few crushes and relationships before. Finds people attractive easily. She flirts, hook ups a lot and it’s not shy about it.

» She’s super protective over the people that have won her over and loyal to them.  

» She’s independent in every kind of way.

» Even though she’s passionate about the things that she loves, like art and plants. She likes to keep this passions secret, only for her.

» She likes to pretend she’s a good girl, even though she wouldn’t hide the fact that she likes to party. Truly she is mean and capable of doing a lot of things.

E X T R A S

»  She loves nature and meditating and dancing.

» She likes gardening and mixing herbs for fun.

» She can play the piano, really well. Her grandma taught her.

» She speaks fluent, spanish and french as well.

» She’s not afraid of the water and she can swim, but she rather stay away from pools, lakes, the ocean.

» She has two cats, a snake and a tarantula back home.

Oh boy okay. I feel like I’m definitely gonna leave something important out, but here are a few things I can think of off the top of my head.

- Isaac would leave all of his collection of music to Elliot.

- He would leave all of his books to Kenzie.

- He would leave the collection of letters which he’s been writing to himself since he was a kid, to Alekzandria Addington. 

- Everything else, including every penny he has, would be left to Jackson.

@reellykenzie, @elliotgdi, @alckzandria (Even though she’s not here I’m still @ing anyways lol) @urkingbby

[alckzandria]

Is that ALEKZANDRIA "ALEK" ADDINGTON? Wow, they do look a lot like VIOLETTA KOMYSHAN. I hear SHE is a EIGHTEEN year old FRESHMEN who are studying BALLET at Luxor University. Word is they are an ARISTOCRAT student. You should watch out because they can be WILY and  VAIN, but on the bright side they can also be SPIRITED and PERKY. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself.

Hey friends !! Mimi here, bringing back this lovely cupcake: Alek.

For those of you who don’t know, I also play Jackson King. HMU for plots with either but READ ON to learn about my sweet angel child. (There is a “too long, didn’t read” summary at the bottom lol)

PERSONALITY

☆*:.｡. Alek is bubbly asf. She is talkative, she is giggly, she is full of energy, she is always goofing off and laughing about stupid things, she is truly a ray of sunshine

☆*:.｡. At the same time though, Alek can be very devious. The way I always describe her is that she is the type of girl to be dragging you over a “No Trespassing” fence to sneak into the back entrance of a private party, whilst giggling the entire time

☆*:.｡. A lot of Alek’s rebellion is related to the fact that she has had such a controlled upbringing. Because of who her family is, she is always expected to be on her best behaviour and essentially, the second her parents aren’t looking, it’s like she flips a switch

☆*:.｡. Alek loves meeting new people and learning all about them. She is the girl who will get along with the conceited, preppy kids but also a girl who could sit with the loner kids at lunch, and know their life story by the time class starts again

☆*:.｡. I imagine her as the girl who can talk gossip with the gossipers, be bitchy with the bitches and just overall be chill and get along with nearly everyone

☆*:.｡. Although she doesn’t seem to take many things seriously, she is highly competitive and can be very cut-throat when it comes to the things she involves herself in professionally or otherwise

BACKGROUND BRIEFING

(Basics, values, education)

☆*:.｡. Alek is 18, a freshman and is a Libra Sun, Leo Rising, and Aquarius moon

☆*:.｡. She started at Luxor Academy at the same time as the Carnifex/Luxor merge, so she’s been here since May of 2019. Unlike most students who arrived at that time, she isn’t coming from Carnifex Academy, but her family has  traditionally attended Carnifex since the inception of the school and she is well aware of the rivalry between the schools

☆*:.｡. Alekzandria’s family is extremely elitist. She, personally, doesn’t hold these beliefs but she is (among a handful of other family members) an outlier in that regard

☆*:.｡. While Alek doesn’t hold these same values as her family, having grown up around them and around other elitist families, she has grown accustomed to blending in with them when she has to

☆*:.｡. Anyone who is anyone will know Alek’s family in some capacity because they are one of the most influential families in America, in media, entertainment, politics, finance, etc.

☆*:.｡. Alek was expected to attend Carnifex with the rest of her family, but from a young age, she didn’t want to attend such a school for what it would represent (following in her family’s footsteps and being forced to live by their values.) Instead, Alek transferred from Vaganova Ballet Academy, Russia (more on this later lol)

FAMILY HISTORY

(Family, wealth/careers, lifestyle)

☆*:.｡. Alek has a twin brother named Lévi, a younger brother named Éliphas and an older sister named Merri and more than a dozen cousins.

☆*:.｡. Her family is of old money, and the Addingtons, as a dynasty, have been within at least the top 5% of earners, to the top 0.1% of earners in America since the early 19th century, making her family one of the riches families in America (and even having made Forbes’ annual list of 400 wealthiest Americans) Her immediate family making the top 1%

☆*:.｡. The Addingtons could be compared to the Rockefellers or the Kennedys in terms of household names. People may not know exactly what they do but they have at least heard the name

☆*:.｡. The Addingtons have been a part of nearly every influential position in society since the 19th century. Her entire family making up of politicians, public company executives, television journalists, financiers, philanthropists and some of America’s top businessmen. Alek’s mother being a television executive and her father being a politician and philanthropist.

☆*:.｡. Although Alek isn’t necessarily classist, she does tend to be significantly unaware of her privilege. She doesn’t see life at all the way someone from the middle class would see it. She has never known life any different than being able to fly to England for a day trip, be picked up in her mother’s private jet or ordering 20 different custom dresses by the world’s top designers just to test them out for an upcoming event... To put it simply, the world has literally always been Alek’s oyster.

☆*:.｡. In the same breath however, Alek also hasn’t known a life that didn’t involve responsibility. She has always had to maintain her family’s appearance, and ensure that the people she surrounds herself with do as well. She has had to be careful with where she goes in public/where she is seen in public

☆*:.｡.  Alek’s entire life has involved attending social events, opening nights, expensive restaurant debuts, etc. She has always traveled and spent vacations at her family’s condos

☆*:.｡. Alek, along with her siblings, is expected to go into one of these major professions to continue the Addington’s expansion and influence over the country and the world

☆*:.｡. Despite endlessly enjoying her money, Alek has never wanted to fall into the corruption her family has adopted in their years of wealth and power. A part of that resistance had always made Alek resistant of Carnifex Academy. After years of begging her mother to attend Luxor instead, their compromise was being sent to attend Vaganova Ballet Academy in Russia when she was 11 years old.

☆*:.｡. This allowed Alek to be free from her family from the ages of 11 and 16 years old and transferred to Luxor just after the merge between Luxor and Carnifex

TL;DR

☆*:.｡. Alek is bubbly as fuck, she’s a ray of sunshine. At the same time she is devious as fuck and will giddily lure anyone over a “No Trespassing” fence to sneak into the back entrance of a party they were already rejected from entering.

☆*:.｡. Alek loves meeting new people and learning all about them. She is the girl who will get along with the conceited, preppy kids but also a girl who could sit with the loner kids at lunch, and know their life story by the time class starts again

☆*:.｡. I imagine her as the girl who can talk gossip with the gossipers, be bitchy with the bitches and just overall be chill and get along with nearly everyone

☆*:.｡. The Addingtons are rich as fuck. Overall, they make the top 0.1% of wealthiest Americans. The Addingtons’ net worth as a dynasty is enough for them to be wealthier than all of the Luxor families combined

☆*:.｡. The Addingtons could be compared to the Rockefellers or the Kennedys in terms of household names. People may not know exactly what they do but they have at least heard the name

☆*:.｡. Anyone who is anyone will know Alek’s family in some capacity because they are one of the most influential families in America, both in media, entertainment, politics, finance, etc.

☆*:.｡. Alek attended Vaganova Ballet Academy in Russia until just after the merge between Carnifex and Luxor Academy

LIL FACTS & TINGS

☆*:.｡. Everyone in Alek’s fam are multilingual. Alek herself, is fluent in English, Russian, French and knows a bit of Spanish

☆*:.｡. Alek spends a lot of her time outdoors

☆*:.｡. She doesn’t take it too seriously, but she has a cute little book that she uses for attempted poetry as a cute art journal

☆*:.｡. Alek has been begging her mother to attend Luxor Academy rather than Carnifex for Y E A R S. Her mother wouldn’t allow her to, as Carnifex was a part of her family for many generations. Alek’s ballet teacher was meant to be transferring to Carnifex and ultimately got a job at Luxor once Carnifex was destroyed … which, is the only reason she was allowed to transfer

At Kingswood Academy, you may find yourself crossing paths with someone who looks a lot like ANSEL ELGORT, but that’s actually JACKSON KING. HE is a SEVENTEEN year old JUNIOR who lives in the HENRY HOUSE. Word is they are a REGULAR student who is FOR the changes happening at Kingswood this year. That makes sense, since I’ve heard they can be UNSERIOUS, COMPASSIONATE, ESCAPIST, and RESILIENT. Either way, like everyone else here at Kingswood, I’m sure they have their skeletons in the closet.

My lil or quite tall, rather munchkin is Jackson King!

TW: abuse implications??

( I also play Daphne Addington, for anyone who doesn’t know )

The rundown

☆*:.｡. Jackson is the twin brother of Isaac King

☆*:.｡. He has been here since freshman year, so if you want our charas to already know each other, I am 150% down!! Assume connections or hit me up with any ideas. I am literally open to anything. Like this and I’ll come to you (:

☆*:.｡. Jackson and Isaac were child actors. When they were very young, they would share roles due to child labour laws. I think some of their roles might have been Sprouse Twins’ Big Daddy-esque movies, but for the most part, the twins had more so serious roles

☆*:.｡. As they got a bit older however, Jackson had a few roles without his brother. (As did Isaac ofc)

☆*:.｡. He enjoyed acting when he was very young, but upon signing the contract for the Disney show Brady’s Brainwaves, he had a really shady incident happen with one of the producers at Disney that completely turned him off from the industry all together. He and his brother spent weeks begging their parents to somehow get them out of this contract but ultimately, Disney only allowed for one twin to leave the show and thankfully, Jackson left 

☆*:.｡. Since then, Jackson has somewhat had the privilege of doing his own thing and expressing his creativity in other ways, but at the cost of his greedy parents completely favouring Isaac in nearly every aspect of their lives lol

☆*:.｡. This has led Jackson to feel some level of resentment for both his parents and for Isaac, although he never shows it. Their parents were awful to the both of them and because of this, Isaac is the only person that Jackson ever truly had and as a result, he is afraid at his own ability to resent and feel jealous his brother. He tries to push it down pretty much whenever it arises.

☆*:.｡. Aside from that Isaac is the most important person in Isaac’s life. They are literally soulmates, they are best friends, they are silly, annoying and obnoxious together. Everyone around Kingswood knows them for being melodramatic goofballs who are attached at the hip

☆*:.｡. Jackson is extremely artsy-fartsy. He always has been. He s very creative, and from a young age, had always been good at drawing and painting. As he has gotten older, painting has gradually taken up his entire free time, literally painting everyone and everything that garnered his interest or inspired him.

☆*:.｡. Since Brady’s Brainwaves ended, and Isaac began pursuing a career of his own outside of what his parents had always wanted, Jackson gradually began to realize that he still did want to act, but was simply too afraid to even tread closely to that life ever again. His parents had definitely continued to pressure him, and it was through that pressure that he decided it was more important for him that he did what he enjoyed freely, and not under any influence of his parents. He much rathered staying under their radar at all costs.

Personality

☆*:.｡. He generally very outgoing. He almost jumps at the opportunity to say something silly or witty or just generally be over dramatic just bc he finds it and himself amusing

☆*:.｡. He is also typically pretty flirty... not always outwardly; he doesn’t make a big deal of himself but he finds it fun and usually doesn’t flirt with the intention of it going anywhere

☆*:.｡. He has a bit of a bleeding heart but it’s definitely not worn on his sleeve.

☆*:.｡. It tends to be hard for him to be serious bc he’s secretly an emotional wreck and tries to avoid it at all costs – he really can be when he has to tho

☆*:.｡. He’s pretty impulsive – he likes to have a good time – he’s stubborn af

☆*:.｡. He can be kinda awkward and shy at times usually if he’s intimidated by the person he’s speaking with in some way lol He usually hides it pretty decently

☆*:.｡. In the same way he doesn’t like to be serious, he tries to avoid conflict & 95% of the time he’s just a lil puppy

☆*:.｡. unless he‘s being a lil shit ofc

☆*:.｡. I think for the most part, though, his compassion and kindness outweighs it

Lil facts

☆*:.｡. He hates when you call him Jack but hey, if you want’ go for it… life isn’t fair. I can’t imagine close friends call him Jack tho lol

☆*:.｡. He’s a Pisces

☆*:.｡. He has control issues.  Not with other people but he has this thing about making his own decisions sometimes even at the expense, annoyance or dismay of others

☆*:.｡. He is a bit taller and slightly lankier than Isaac, unlike a lot older twins, the two have somehow managed to look alike even as they have gotten older

☆*:.｡. He plays the trumpet for the Kingswood orchestra, he is the president of the arts club and he is a part of theatre’s set design team

SO YEAH,

I am open to literally ALL of the plots. If you think Jackson might fit any of your wanted connections, I am very willing to hand him to you. Otherwise we can brainstorm something together!

A Night to Remember (Part 5)

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

     Derrin sat in his office, knees pulled close to his chest. Tears running down his face. Jackson was right. Jackson had friends, he didn’t. He hated himself for all his life, but suddenly it became so much more severe. He just… Wanted friends. Derrin was physically ill. Not sleeping, not eating, drowning himself in work. Even Ana was a little concerned for his well being.

     Ana, or Anastasia, was the Queen’s right hand. She was the future Queen, and she despised Derrin. Derrin had not common courtesy for anyone except himself. He physically tried to get people to hate him. Though no matter how absolutely terrible Derrin was, Ana wasn’t a monster and she was slightly concerned for Derrin. He looked awful, eyes always blue and puffy, dark purply blue bags under his eyes as well. He heard Derrin’s muffled sobs through his mostly soundproof door. Finally, Ana couldn’t take it anymore.

     Ana made her way to Derrin’s office and knocked on the door. The sobs suddenly stopped and a clearing of the throat could be heard through the door. A low “one moment.” could also be heard. Soon enough the door opened slowly, revealing a very tired and upset looking Derrin. When Derrin and Ana’s eyes met, something flashed in Derrin’s as he slowly stepped to the side, for Ana to step in. Once she was in, Derrin closed the door and sat in his chair behind his desk. Ana sat down, in the chair in front of his desk. She took mental note of the absolute mess that Derrin’s office had become, and Derrin noticed this.

     “I must apologize for the mess Ana, I dropped the papers and was in the process of cleaning them up when you knocked.” Ana’s eyes focused on Derrin.

     “No, you weren’t. Don’t lie to me Derrin, I heard you crying, and it’s very blatant that you were, seeing as how you still have faint tear stains on your face.” Ana’s eyes burned into Derrin, causing him to have to fidget with his hands. Ana’s gaze softened ever so slightly as she looked over Derrin.

     “I want you to take the rest of this week off. You seem to be wrestling with some problems, and I need you to be fully focused and professional while you are here. You also just, looked like you need some time off. I’m concerned about your well being. I may not consider myself a friend of yours-” Derrin visibly flinched. “I most definitely am concerned for you. So, take the rest of this week off, I will give you a few papers that you need to work on while you’re off, but it’s nothing too stressful and you should be able to do them quite quickly.” Derrin only nodded, not making any verbal remark, like e normally would. Ana stood, picked the papers up off the ground and put them into a neat little pile on Derrin’s desk. She went around the desk, put her hand on his back, and gave him a little pat.

     “Whatever you seem to be dealing with, just know that it’s going to be okay. I bet it’ll only be temporary.” Derrin, again, didn’t say anything. He only nodded and gave a low quiet thanks to Ana.

     “I will be back in a moment to bring you the few papers, but as soon as you get them, I want you packing your things and going. You look like you need some rest as soon as possible.” With that Ana left to go get the papers, leaving Derrin to sit in silence in his office. Derrin slowly rose from his chair, and began shoving his laptop into his bag, he sneaked in a few papers in there as well, thinking there wouldn’t be a problem with doing a little extra work while he was off. Soon enough Ana came back with the papers, carefully giving them to Derrin. Derrin nodded, and carefully put them into his bad. Before Derrin could leave Ana grabbed his hand and pulled him into a hug. Derrin’s eyes grew wide but he slowly returned the hug. When they both pulled away Ana spoke.

     “You looked like you needed a hug. Oh, and maybe try talking about whatever is eating at you with your father. You know he would be more than willing to help.” Derrin looked down at Ana.

     “I did need one, and thank you I will. Have a good rest of your day Ana…” Derrin gave a small pat to Ana’s shoulder before leaving and taking a cab to his home. As he was getting driven home, Derrin pulled his phone out, seeing that he got a notification that Jackson was typing a message. Derrin’s eyes filled with tears as he quickly deleted the text thread. Derrin had been trying to delete Jackson’s number, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. It’s just like pulling of a Band-Aid. He got to the screen asking him if he was sure he wanted to delete the number and quickly without thinking hit “Yes”.

     DING

     Number now deleted.

     Oh god, what has he done? Why did he do that? Whatever… I was all for the best I guess. Derrin sighed, rubbing the tears out of his eyes. Soon enough he was home and laying on his couch. He had gotten into a pair of grey sweats and that was it. No shirt, no shoes, nothing. Sitting at his computer he started his work, making it much more complicated than it needed to e, but he didn’t care. It kept his mind off the insufferable ingrate he used to call a friend.

     Hours had passed and he was still working. His body ached and popped when he moved but he just… Needed to keep going. His stomach ached with such a pain it scared him slightly, but not enough to make him stop working. His eye burned and his neck felt like someone was hitting it with a brick. He looked down at his knuckle, remembering the red blood from Jackson all over his hand. The way his teeth hurt from clenching his jaw. The… Fear in Jackson’s eyes. He didn’t realize he was crying until he saw water droplets on the papers before him.

     “I need help…” Derrin hiccupped out searching for his phone, from under all the papers that were scattered around him. Finally fishing his phone out, he dialed his dad’s number and hit call. It rang, and rang until he heard a familiar voice.

     “Derrin?” Derrin’s father’s voice rang through his head.

     “Dad...? Are you busy…?” Derrin’s voice cracked and he mentally punched himself for sounding so wrecked.

     “Der? No, I’m free what’s wrong?” Eric, Derrin’s father, had concern laced in his tone.

     “Can you, maybe, come over? I… I need help.” Derrin’s voice got quieter and quieter as he finished his sentence. Derrin sounded pathetic, and broken. Eric felt his heart twinge. Never had he heard his son this distressed.

     “Of course, I’m on my way. I love you Der.” Derrin’s eyes filled with tears as he began to sob.

     “I love you too dad…” With that, he hung up and awaited his father’s arrival. Derrin sobbed hands covering his face.

     Soon enough, using the spare key Eric had, he made his way into Derrin’s house to find him sobbing on the couch. The sobs wracked through Derrin like giant waves, shaking his body with every sob. Never had he looked so small. Usually Derrin had this strong yet annoying presence. But right here, right now, Derrin looked so broken and torn. Eric closed the door quickly, or so he thought, and rushed over to his son. He moved the computer and all his work away from him, and pulled him into his arms. Derrin sobbed into his father’s arms.

     “Der, you wanna tell me what this is all about?” Eric’s grip on his son tighten, when his sobs got a little louder. Eric rubbed his back, sitting in silence with his son until he was calm enough to tell him what was wrong. Eventually Derrin calmed down and explained the situation. Eric hadn’t realized that he didn’t lock the front door, and both Derrin and his father were too caught up in talking to hear the knock on the door, but there did hear the door open. Eric and Derrin’s heads both shot to the door to see a shocked looking Jackson.

     “Jackson…” Eric’s eyes flashed from Derrin to the man standing in the door. Eric’s face soon turned to an angry expression as he stood up. Derrin didn’t care anymore and he just sobbed into a pillow, his entire body in so much pain, from all the neglection of needs. Jackson stared at Derrin, heart pounding. Eric soon fell in front of him though.

     “So, you’re the jackass that did this to my son. Didn’t he tell you to not approach him? Ever again? I hope you feel good about yourself asshole.” Suddenly the door was closed.

     Shit.

A Night To Remember (Part 6)

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

            Jackson stared at the door frame, blank. He stood there, processing… processing…

            A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead, rekindling his senses. He yelled through the doorframe, “Y-You have a lovely home!”

            “Why are you still here!?” yelled Eric back. Fast, thundering footsteps then came running closer to the door.

            Jackson ran.

            He ran as far as his legs would take him. He was out of breath, out of time, with no remorse for air or for himself. He was lost in this cruel existence and he knew it. Doomed to suffer and suffer and suffer and run. Run. Running away from his problems and desires. Running away from his reality and innate, animalistic tendencies he so craved to relinquish control to. If it weren’t for one thing, however.

            He was scared. He was so scared of what would happen. He was so scared of how he would morph from then on. How he would destroy his foundation and come out possibly worse than before. The chains on his neck getting tighter, a wave of relief washing over him. He cried, the pain in his legs unbearable and numbing. The perverse, flittering imagery of Derrin, undressed, hunched, miserably beautiful smeared itself in Jackson’s vision. Oh wow.

            He was floating suddenly. He was weightless; suspended in hell for ages it seemed. The tears fell, and something broke. Jackson felt it. A deep pinging that called for him to hurt. Willingly he placed himself before his lord for judgment.

            “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

            The world was bliss, the world was pure. And in his soul, he felt peace. Like swimming in his own heavenly sky, he flew. And he crashed. On to flat earth. His face brutally scratching against the concrete again. The nick in the sidewalk, and his shoe a mere 2 feet away. In his craze, he tripped… apparently. His palms were peeling, his knees bleeding, his heart aching. Something in him was burning. He looked around his environment: An empty park. How did he get there?

            Jackson lifted himself up onto his feet and limped away. He needed to keep going.

            As he turned the street corner, a large sign reading “Etcetera Etcetera” pulled him closer. It was the restaurant Derrin took him to on their initial meeting. He was running towards the entrance- when the door opened, a young woman in a black sleeveless collared top stepped out, effectively slamming the door in Jackson’s face.

            “Bloody Hell!!”

            She gasped, “I’m so sorry!” Stepping outside completely and closing the door behind her, she rummaged through her bag, rambling. “I didn’t notice you there, my mistake. Here, I think I have some tissues in case you’re bleeding. Again, I’m really sorry, I should have seen you.” She looked up and immediately froze.

            In that moment he forgot everything. Jackson stared back at her, surprised, to say the least. It was Ana.

            Clearing his throat, his straightened himself. “G-Good Evening, Lady Anastasia. How do y-you do?” Jackson blushed, trying to hide the pain he felt. He hadn’t thought of Ana once since That Night, and now she was here, reminding him of his mistake.

            Ana was more than annoyed to be reunited with her least favorite admirer. She sighed and kept looking through her bag. “I’m fine.” She said pointedly, pulling out a mini tissue box and taking two out. She handed them to Jackson, who was bleeding from his lip, “Here, clean yourself up.”

            Jackson thanked her silently and wiped his lip. He folded the two sheets and tucked them in his inner coat pocket. Combing through his hair, he was antsy to keep moving, the restaurant no longer pulling him in. He could feel a discomfort in his stomach, and he needed to run.

            Ana had questions though. She put two and two together and asked, “So how are things with Derrin?”

            It was Jackson’s turn to freeze. He was speechless. He knew it was her who sent Derrin home; the guards told him as much (along with his address), and so she must have known something was amiss when she saw Jackson was missing from Derrin’s side. She must have known by now and yet, Jackson couldn’t bring himself to confess. He nodded and lied, “Much better now, definitely.”

            “Bullshit. Tell me the truth. Did you guys have a fight?”

            He couldn’t bring himself to say it. Ana rolled her eyes.

            “He hasn’t been able to do his job for two weeks now, you know,” she said, “He was crying earlier today- I had to force him to go home and sleep cause he’s been throwing himself into his work and ignoring his problems. Kind of like how you look right now, you know? Except deserving of it.” Ana couldn’t help the need to insult Jackson. Derrin was by no means her favorite person, but there was something instinctive about her hate for Jackson that made her somewhat protective of Derrin. As if she felt the need to ward off against any form of influencing from the fool before her.

            Jackson was too busy reeling to be hurt. Images of Derrin crying on his office floor, hunched over like at his house were racing through Jackson’s mind. A cacophony of what the past weeks must have sounded like spun Jackson around and dizzied him. He tripped backward and landed against a wall. He gripped his hair, feeling the wretched discomfort of his stomach, expand into a thundering heartbeat that had him hyperventilating. He was on the floor now, dry heaving as memories of Derrin’s smile took their turn at the front of his mind. His vision was blurry, he couldn’t hear, he felt hands but was acutely aware of nothing. Derrin’s laughter soared through his mind like a song. Jackson was horrified. He couldn’t get away, he was being consumed. Derrin’s lingering stare. His Ashy Blond hair. His hands. His neck. His back. His tears. His beautiful, beautiful voice. Jackson screamed. He was suddenly under an umbrella.

            “Count with me. Ten, Nine, Eight…” Ana had covered them for privacy and was counting down in a soft voice. “Count with me, Jackson. Ten. Nine…”

            Jackson was muttering out the words, his breathing steadying out as together, they reached One. He was still shaking, but the blue tint of the umbrella was calming. He was slowly coming back.

            Ana took the opportunity to practice her skills. “What do you need?”

            Jackson couldn’t talk, he was staring at her.

            “Can you move your arm above your head?” She demonstrated the action, moving it up and down several times until Jackson did the same. “Focus on your breathing, stay present,” she added, trying her best to help the man get through his sudden attack. She felt immense guilt at that moment and was adamant about fixing the situation.

            Eventually, after 20 minutes, Jackson was back to normal. For the most part. He was having trouble standing, as his legs still felt like gelatin. He could feel Ana’s glare boring into him, the sweat on his brow trickling down as he tried to fix his clothes. Ana was at his side in an instant, straightening his tie and dusting off his coat. She sighed, looking up at Jackson.

            “I apologize for having caused this. I really am. I let my anger get the better of me, and put you through an awful situation.” She backed away, clutching her bag, “I know you and Derrin were close, I didn’t stop to think that you might be hurting just as much as him. Please forgive me.”

            Jackson tightened his fist, a soft warmth flushing over his chest. He managed to mutter out “I forgive you…” but there was something pressing on his mind; something on the tip of his tongue that he needed to let out.

            “Do you need me to walk you home?” asked Ana.

            No. That wasn’t it. Jackson shook his head, tightening his lips. His eyes fixated on the ground.

            “Are you worried about Derrin?”

            He stopped, head snapping up to meet Ana’s eyes. There was a burning in his throat, and suddenly there were tears. He took a shaky breath, nodding. Ana took Jackson’s hand, holding it firmly in hers. She sighed.

            “Before you came here, Derrin was angry, isolated, and lost. He didn’t have any friends and… as much as I hate to admit it, I was worried for his well being. He was just so overbearing and hot tempered, so I shut him out. I’m still worried for him, but I think there’s a chance for change this time.” She let go of Jackson’s hand, smiling at him for the first time. “He smiles more when he’s around you. No matter how annoying you can be, it’s obvious you make him happy. Don’t let whatever fight’s happening between you two be the end of a good thing.”

            Jackson’s face was practically emitting steam. He was without thought, marveling at the serene expression on Ana’s face. In a flash, he had her hand in his, thanking her over and over and over like a machine. She had to pull her arm away to be free.

            “Go talk to him before he shuts you out.”

            He was back to normal. “I’ve… already attempted that... His father was with him and wouldn’t let me apologize. I don’t think he ‘likes’ me.”

            “Well, then you’ll have to figure out a way to apologize to them both.” Ana leaned in for the last time, whispering, “Between you and me, Derrin has always been a huge nerd for Nintendo. If you want to get him to at least not slam the door in your face, I’d suggest buying him a game.”

            Jackson was rubbing his chin in thought. Derrin had once told him about Video Games, he had even brought his “3DS” to work the next day so that Jackson could play. It was admittedly a bewildering experience, but Jackson was grateful to Derrin for helping him speed up his adjustment process. He couldn’t help the small tint on his cheeks, even if he tried to erase the thought out of his head. “Thank you for the suggestion, Lady Anastasia. I will put it to use!”

            Ana nodded. “Are you okay now?”

           “Yes, I’m fine. Thank you for helping me through this.” Jackson bowed, a genuine smile on his face.

            The two said their goodbyes and parted ways, Ana going home, and Jackson going to the nearest GameStop. There was a weight in his chest that he couldn’t get rid of, but he knew not to let it bring him down again. He combed his hair and pressed onward, brainstorming ways to get Derrin’s and his Father’s forgiveness. The faintest flash of earlier that day appeared in Jackson’s mind, except he didn’t fear it, nor took perverse indulgence. He took a deep breath and erased it from his mind. He had a plan now, and nothing- not even himself- was going to stop him.

            “Wait for me, Derrin… and please forgive me…”

At Kingswood Academy, you may find yourself crossing paths with someone who looks a lot like VICTORIA JUSTICE, but that’s actually DAPHNE ADDINGTON. SHE is a SEVENTEEN year old JUNIOR who lives in the ELIZABETH HOUSE. Word is they are a LEGACY student who is AGAINST the changes happening at Kingswood this year. That makes sense, since I’ve heard they can be EGOCENTRIC, SELF-SUFFICIENT, DECEITFUL, and EASY-GOING. Either way, like everyone else here at Kingswood, I’m sure they have their skeletons in the closet.

Hey, lovies !! I’m Mimi. pls come love me and my bb Daphne down.

☆*:.｡. I also play Jackson King, if you’re interested in plotting with him

☆*:.｡. Daphne has gone to Kingswood since freshman year, so if your chara has been here a while, they likely know each other or know of each other. Hit me up for plots/connections !!

☆*:.｡. Daphne is a Legacy, not because either of her parents attended (however, they did), but because her family has been very closely tied to the secret society (specifically the Illuminati) within government and Hollywood for over a century

☆*:.｡. The system within Daphne’s family, in regard to the power held works very similarly to a royal family; her grandfather holds the most influence and has the final say in the decisions made within the Illuminati despite there being other families connected to it. Her father is next in line, and Daphne would be next, once her father passes away. (If you wanna hear more about this, just ask lol. I won’t go on too much about it here)

☆*:.｡. The combination of her parents’ net-worth is easily over a billion dollars, and they work with a number of other secret elites. Despite all of the active work being done in the background within related societies, they hold an immense amount of power/influence

☆*:.｡. While Daphne knows very little compared to many of her older family members, she is well aware of what her family does and what they have done to survive with such a sinister life

☆*:.｡. As a teenager, she isn’t directly associated with any specific work but she is expected to continue the family legacy when she graduates from post-secondary. If her grandfather was to pass away, she would be given a lot more responsibility despite being under age, but thankfully for her (though not for long lol) her grandfather is still in charge. In the meantime, she is expected to maintain secrecy and friendships/personal relationships with anyone who is anyone.

☆*:.｡. Unlike her family, she struggles to take what she is meant to do seriously. She doesn’t share many of her personal secrets, as that could mean danger for her and for anyone she might tell but she normally indulges in the luxurious and expensive lifestyle she has always been accustomed to

☆*:.｡. She is very free-spirited and is always looking for the next adventure. She has never shied away from any exciting or questionable decisions; having experimented with drugs and slept around, simply because she found it fun, pretty much since she arrived in freshman year

☆*:.｡. She has a very melodramatic sense of humour, and to be honest, it kind of bleeds into her personality quite a bit

☆*:.｡. She is very self-sufficient, in the sense that she has never struggled to figure things out and do things for herself. She prefers it that way, as she has come to know, in her seventeen years, that relying on others gives them access to some sort of power over her and she was raised not to allow anyone that power

☆*:.｡. Her two negative traits are egocentric and deceitful. Deceitful because she is expected to have close relationships with certain people, regardless if she likes them. She has to work her way into a group and maintain their trust, all the while keeping a close eye on them. And egocentric, because she struggles to differentiate between herself and others. ( For example, if one of her friends is down, she wants to help, and feels bad for them, but tends to only be concerned by the fact that their discouraged mood is somehow affecting the quality of their friendship or dedication to her. )

I will likely be adding her to more clubs over time but so far

She is the president of the garden club

She is the public relations director in the student government

And naturally, because public relations deals with events, she is also the president of the events committee

That’s about all.

Please hit me up for plots or connections !! I’m open to pretty much any ideas. Let me love yoooou

[luxorgossip]

Any desires for costumes particular students will wear for halloween? Cade would be pretty hot as a werewolf

Ooh !! What a fun question, Greyface. Cade as a werewolf is definitely fitting, I agree. Something tells me he’s got a good howl in him somewhere. If you don’t mind, I’m going to put this in list format to make it easier on myself. 

Jackson KingHa, easy. Invisible Man or Where’s Waldo. I would literally pay him to give me this. How much will it take, Jackie ??

Kenzie Horton Wonder Woman, perhaps ?? She’s strong and moraled enough to be her. Someone to look up to.

Balo Driskell Anything cute and fuzzy related, like a mouse or kitty. It’s Balo, you know she’s going to do something animal related, and probably with whiskers.

Maxi StephensA cactus, because he’s so dry.

Logan KellerI’d love to see him embrace The Toad. 

Harley SilvaLittle Red Riding Hood. The red would compliment her nicely and she seems so innocent but good.

Teddy MartinezGenie in the Lamp, possibly. I see him being one of those guys that would want his costume to do the talking.

Isaac King A court Jester, just to knock his ass down a peg or two. Plus, he’d look cute in their hats. 

Maia CroftDottie Hinson from A League of Their Own. She’s got the legs for that cute little baseball skirt and it’s sporty, just like her. 

Isak Valtersen Forky, from Toy Story 4. They’re both ridiculously adorable somehow but I can’t put my finger on why. 

Colin Rook Charlie Brown. I mean, really. He’s as nervous/anxious and mildly depressive as him. 

Thomas Scheffer A scarecrow or Jack Skellington, toss up to which. Both would suit that deathly pale, thin body look.

Ronan Burke An airplane pilot. He seems like he’d really enjoy the irony of a good joke.

Madeline Ward Winnifred Sanderson, the best and most craftiest witch there is. She wouldn’t even have to dye her hair !!

Harry Hart Ghostface from the Scream series because he pops in when you least expect. 

Autumn McNealShe’d make an adorable Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Not a sexy version, either. It should definitely be the original blue outfit or possibly the yellow ballgown if she wants to carry that skirt around.

Janie HallI feel like she’s go as something cute but innocent, like a Bumblebee. 

Alek Addington I’m thinking Poison Ivy. It’d suit for how she’s so bubbly and engaging, but isn’t the best influence on you, either. Perfect combo, no ??

Lucy Beaumont-Peters Oh come on, if she doesn’t go as Cher from Clueless, the world has experienced a great injustice. 

Clarissa Carmichael How about Elvira, Mistress of the Dark ?? Push her as far out of her comfort zone as possible, on that one. Or a pumpkin, because she’s as interesting as one.

Elise St. James The Nun. I get the feeling she’s a real fan of black, so it’d compliment her soul. Or lack of one…

Lia Davenport Sally, the rag doll from Nightmare Before Christmas. Does she not give you those same melancholy vibes ?? And just seems so lost. 

Hazel DavenportA female sexy Beetlejuice. She could definitely pull off those stripes and some green streaks would compliment that hair. 

Mary MclearyA female Chucky version, maybe. That would be funny to see.

Avery WoodsMaleficent !! She has the perfect features and hair for it. 

Ian Kim He definitely needs to be David S. Pumpkins. I will accept nothing less. The people have spoken, Ian.

Asher Prescott A pirate, since he’s such a heart plunderer. Plus, he would look hot and dangerous with an eye patch and fake gun.

Veronica Henderson I know you’re expecting me to say a literal wet blanket but, no. I’m thinking Frank N. Furter ?? Might make her open up more, gain some confidence in herself and what she’s working with because trust me, she’s got goods.

Ches Elswood It, the Clown version but sexy. She’s about the only person I think could actually pull this off and do so very well. I’m dying to see a good clown costume and she’d deliver all the frills.

DP Prescott Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad. Girl must have some sort of screw loose and her attachment to that Maxi kid is about as bad as Harley’s attachment is to The Joker. And, of course, hot.

Blake Sinclair That dude from Baywatch. He would probably love the chance to walk around half-naked and flexing those muscles. Surf’s up, dude !!

Adrian Knox How about a walking penis ?? I bet he’d enjoy being such a smartass and use it as a conversation topic.

Raina Ainsworth She gives me a very Tinkerbell vibe because she’s delicate and yet somehow tough ?? I could see her pulling off that sexy green dress, too. 

Charlie Kingery Wouldn’t she make the cutest Ladybug ?? That would be so adorable. No real reason other than she’s cute, the costume is cute.

Nolan Sugg Hmm. I don’t know much about this youngster yet but I’m going to say Donald Duck. He’s loud and abrasive, but I never said that was a bad thing. 

Lorenzo Russio Kenicke from Grease. Best Greaser there is and all the charm and charisma of one, too. And let’s be frank, him in a leather jacket is bound to be eye candy gold. 

Pietro Carrington Michael Myers. I mean, what else did you expect ??

Savoy MortcombeWe could always use a good Dracula around these parts. He’s tall, dark, and handsome. He’ll pull it off well. Or Frankenstein works too.

Sasha BowmanPrincess Jasmine from Aladdin. She’s got that ‘I’m a strong woman’ attitude and will stand up for her principles. I vote she goes for the cartoon costume version, as that pale blue fabric would look gorgeous against her skin.
