sexuality;; straight
personality;; colton is all for living in the moment. you never see him w/ a frown on his face. he's reckless and impulsive, and lets his heart rule his decisions. thinking things through is a concept foreign to him- he wants what he wants, and he wants it then. this often leads him to getting into trouble and making poor decisions. he could be described as a free spirit- he doesn't have much interest in girls, as he feels that it would be tying him down and restricting his freedom. he's a goof and loves to make others laugh; he has a genuinely kind heart, and if someone is down, he's the first one there to bring them back up. he loves w/ every fiber of his being, and is never, ever cruel to anyone. colton wants to experience life to the fullest- even if that means making a few bad decisions along the way.
history;; colton is recently moving into town from a small town in texas, where he grew up. he has two younger siblings, matthew and katherine

Maggie remembered the day when her new neighbours first arrived. Only several days ago she had been in her room when she spotted the huge, white moving van show up in the driveway of the house right next to her's. She walked over to her window, curiosity getting the best of her, and she caught sight of the family: her new neighbours. There were three kids, two younger (she couldn't guess their ages) and one who was older and seemed to be around her age. At the time, she didn't think much of it and wandered back over to her desk to continue working on her homework, but maybe she should've paid more attention to how her parents reacted. Sure, her mom seemed excited, but that was normal, right? Plus, her mother got excited over everything. Well, it seemed as if her mom got a little too excited this time around. When she walked down the stairs and entered the kitchen only a few days after her neighbours got all moved in, her mom was wrapping a huge basket, loaded up with different gifts ranging from baked goods to candles, in a translucent sheet of shiny wrapping paper.

The curly-haired girl walked up to her mom with an eyebrow raised questioningly, "What's this," she asked as she sized up at huge wicker basket. Her mom smiled proudly as she finished wrapping it and stepped back to admire her work, "It's a gift, for our new neighbours," she said excitedly, clasping her hands together, like a little kid on Christmas morning. Maggie always liked to say that her mother was more child than adult. She laughed lightly and poked at the gift, "Mom, you do know that people only do these kinds of things in movies, right?" she questioned and received a sharp glare from her mother, "Margaret-" and she interjected, "Maggie, mom.. It's Maggie," she said in exasperation. Her mother scowled, but you could tell by the light in both of their eyes that they were both being playful, "It's called being friendly, Maggie," her mother finished proudly as she scooped up the gift and called for her husband: Maggie's father. "Get dressed, we're going over there now!" her mother called back towards her in a sing-song voice.

So, that was how Maggie's Sunday morning had gone up until this point. She had gotten dressed, wearing her simple black jeans and her infamous dull, blue t-shirt and paired it with her old, worn out black converse. Then she had joined her parents as they trekked a few feet to their neighbour's front door. She stood there now, waiting behind her parents as they rung the doorbell, her father vainly trying to tell her mom to act calm and collected. They're probably going to think we're odd, who actually brings their new neighbours a present? Saying hi and introducing yourself, sure! But... A gift? she thought plus, I still have homework to do that's due tomorrow.

Colton ★ 17 ★ Senior

"Katie, get out of my room!!"

"You took my headphones, Matthew!!"

There they went again. Colton's younger siblings were arguing for probably the umpteenth time that day; ever since the move, Katherine and Matthew had been at each other's throats. Colton groaned, and ran a hand through his soft dark brown hair, still messy from when he'd awoken less than an hour ago. He didn't like the fact that they'd had to leave their hometown of Hubbard, either; but did they really have to make everyone else even more miserable with their constant bickering? Colton certainly didn't appreciate it, and he couldn't imagine his parents did, either.

"Guys..." Colton sighed as he stepped out into the hallway between them, "Can you please just stop?"

"He took my headphones!" Katie, a girl at the age of 15, grumbled. "And he won't give them back!!"

"C'mon, Matt, just give them back to her," Colton sighed as he turned to face his younger brother, who had just turned 13 a couple weeks before. God, he could be so immature.

"Fine," Matt growled, and pulled the small white headphones out of his pocket and tossed them to Katie. With that, he turned and stormed back into his room, and slammed the door loudly. Katie grinned to herself in satisfaction, and went into the kitchen.

Colton started to turn back into his own room, when the doorbell rang and their dog, a german shepherd husky cross named diablo, started barking to let his owners know someone was at the door. "We have visitors!!" his mother called as she went to the door. "It looks like our new neighbors. Colton, Matt, Katie, come out!!"

For the umpteenth time that day, Colton sighed; this wasn't exactly a great time. Yesterday, he'd been crazy busy, enrolling at his new school and taking a tour, and getting everything ready for the week ahead; he'd been hoping to catch up on his much needed rest today, but that didn't look like that was going to happen. Despite that, he put on a smile as he went into the foyer with his mother and stood right behind her while she opened the door.

A deep barking came from within the house as the doorbell went off and Maggie peered out from behind her parents to howl fully catch sight of the dog. But it was hard to see around her parents, who were standing shoulder to shoulder and blocking her whole view of the front door. Soon enough, the door opened to reveal the two parents, she saw the two younger kids looking at them with confusion in their eyes before they caught sight of the gift in her mother's hands. She chuckled lightly as their eyes lit up and they stared at the overflowing basket, eyes mostly gazing at the sweets that were packaged safely inside. She glanced at the parents and, thankfully, they seemed happy, not weirded out. It was when the small family of three was invited inside when Maggie caught sight of the eldest child. He was standing to the side, smile plastered on his face, she gave a friendly little smile and a small wave before the dog, the one she heard barking earlier, came running up to greet the guests. She smiled and reached down to stroke the big dog as introductions were said. She only stopped petting the dog when the large group shifted and began moving towards the kitchen where the large basket of goods was placed on top of the island.

Maggie followed after the adults and stood beside her parents as the adults spoke. That's usually where she stayed at gatherings like these. Right by her parents while the younger ones went off to play. The dog came up to her again and she smiled as he sat down and stared up at her pleadingly before she pet him. She wished she had a dog, they were adorable. But, she had to admit, she was more of a cat person than a dog person and she did have a cat of her own. A grey tabby cat with little white paws, a white muzzle and a white chest named Misty. She got her for her seventeenth birthday and couldn't be any happier.

It only took a few moments for her plans to be foiled and she tuned back in on reality when her mother turned to look at her quickly and nudge her arm. She looked over and mouthed the word 'what?', shaking her head in confusion as her mom tried to discretely point something out with weird hand gestures and tilting her head to the side. Her mother sighed and then spoke softly, "Go on, you should go talk to that boy. He seems to be around your age, maybe he goes to your school, have you seen him there yet?" Maggie chewed on the inside of her cheek and shook her head slightly at her mother's question and threw a quick glance towards the boy before she slowly walked towards him, only after an encouraging shove from her mom.

Standing in front of him she offered a polite smile, "Uh, hey," she began slowly as she rocked back onto her heels, "I'm Maggie, what's your name? Have you applied for school yet?" she asked, rambling only slightly before she fell silent.

Colton ★ 17 ★ Senior

Colton sat down in a chair in the kitchen nearby while the parents talked; he knew if he left, his mother would simply call him back, so he just figured he'd wait it out. He glanced at the girl curiously, wondering if she was open to conversation; however, when he saw her just petting Diablo and not paying much mind to anything else, he figured she wasn't. Oh well. Normally, he'd be outgoing enough to approach her anyway; but today, he was just dead tired, and couldn't work up the energy. He scrolled through his phone absentmindedly, silently willing for the meeting to end soon so that he could go back into his room and rest. This whole week, they'd been going and going and going nonstop- would he ever catch a break? Probably not, seeing as his first day of school in this new town was tomorrow. And if it was anything like Hubbard, people would be bombarding him with questions and rumors would be flying by third period.

He was broken out of his thoughts when the girl approached him, much to his surprise. He set his phone down, and turned to face her, so as to give her his undivided attention. "I'm Colton," he said, and extended his hand for shake, giving her a slight, friendly smile. Some people thought it was weird when he introduced himself like that, but he believed it to be the polite thing to do. "Yeah, I just took the tour yesterday. I start tomorrow. Kill me please." He grinned slightly at that, hoping to get a laugh out of her. Apparently he wasn't tired enough to not try and crack a joke like he always did.

Maggie piped up slightly when the boy acknowledged her and was kind enough to place his phone down. She knew other people who would just continue scrolling on their phone and have a conversation without making any eye contact. She even had tried to speak with others who would just not pay attention to her words. She was just happy that he had the decency to be polite in that way. She shook his hand when he introduced himself and she nodded slowly, "Colton," she repeated, testing his name out, "Well, it's nice to meet you," she finished with a small nod.

At Colton's next words she laughed lightly and grinned, "I know," she agreed with a small sigh before she spoke again, "School sucks. But, it is a pretty nice school, at least. Plenty of clubs and sports and classes to join, most of the people are friendly as well. The teacher are like all teachers, of course, but some are worse than others," she recalled as she moved to take a seat on the chair beside Colton's. Maggie gave a small shrug as she turned to face him, "At least it's pretty early on in the year. It's not like you're coming right before mid-terms or finals," she offered optimistically. There was a few moments of silence and the parent's conversation filled the room. It seemed as if they were getting along, which made her happy. Their last neighbours weren't as friendly. The curly-haired girl turned her brown gaze back to the brown-haired boy, "Have you got your schedule yet? Maybe we have some classes together. It always helps to see a familiar face," she asked.

Colton ★ 17 ★ Senior

"Yeah, I have actually," he said as he picked up his phone and opened up his camera roll. He opened up the picture he'd saved of his schedule, and set his phone down on the counter in front of her so that she could take a look. Already he was starting to perk back up; yes, he was exhausted, but it seemed like he was already making a friend. Maybe this move wouldn't be so bad after all. He'd make the most of it.

He racked his brain for questions to ask her so that he didn't seem all quiet and awkward, as he was sure that was how he was coming across and that wasn't how he was at all; yet, he couldn't think of a single thing. Great job on the whole first impression thing, Colton, he thought to himself, suppressing another sigh. Hopefully she didn't think he was a total nerd right off the bat.

After Colton's response, she waited patiently until his phone was set down on the smith, marble countertop in front of her. She leaned forwards to take a look at the picture. After she scanned over the listed classes she had turned back to him with a small smile, "Looks like we've got English and Biology together this semester," she said and she sat up straighter, "Mr. Jacobsen is the English teacher. He's pretty good as long as you hand in your work, he can go off on weird little rants sometimes, but that can actually be good when you don't want to do anything during that class. Then, Mrs. Bellman is great at teaching, but her tests are pretty big, not necessarily hard, just a lot of questions," she informed quickly. Then, she relaxed her posture and mentally took note of his silence. She wondered anxiously if she was being a bit too forward, talking a little too much. While she was usually pretty quiet and did her own thing, she tended to talk a lot more after a while of opening up to someone. But, now, her over-thinking mind began to wonder if he was overwhelmed by her trying to initiate a conversation. She glanced at the adults, all of them talking and laughing, ignoring the teenagers who sat off to the side.

( ahh, sorry this is so short.. also, I kinda just went with random classes, I can always change it up I you want c: )
