Highschool. Four whole years of drama, sadness, parties, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, mistakes and remarkable moments. Yeah, that's only what happens in movies, in real life the past years have been filled with work, friends, breakups, fallouts and many more things. Yes, you did have your happy moments, your first kiss, best friends, clubs and sleepovers. Yes, you will never be able to get these years back, yes, you made many amazing memories, but you're ready to leave. It's a week to graduation and the anticipation is building, you can feel it. Though, the wait is still too long, you're tired of all the drama with school, friends and even your family. Then, your chance to escape comes with a car load of friends. Seven others have invited you along with them on a road trip, they say that it'll be the road trip of a life time and you make your decision. You decide to leave this place and escape your over enthusistic friends, your annoying teachers and your nagging family. You decide to escape everything.. You escape reality...

This is about eight teenagers who leave on a road trip a week before graduation. They each got together one night to plan what to bring and where to meet. They will be riding in the runaway's car, which has five seats, and using the rebel's small camper, which can fit all of the people sleeping in there, though some have to sleep on couches. The others will bring a suitcase with things that are a must have and some will be brining along food. The others will bring whatever money they have in thier wallets and some may bring some extra money from bank accounts or other sources. This roleplay will start when they're all meeting at the local park at 10:00pm once thier parents fall asleep. Some can leave behind a note, others can just leave. Once they meet they'll catch a ride in the runaway's car and pick up the rebel's camper and then they're off. They don't know thier destination or even if there is one, they're just going to drive.
***if you have any ideas for where they will go/end up feel free to PM me c:
These eight teens may know eachother slightly from school, but most are strangers and haven't spoken before. So, there will be drama etc. Also, these teens are graduating so they will be either 17 or 18, maybe 19, but that's uncommon.

Niomi walked down the cracked sidewalk, her hands chilled slightly. It wasn't necessarily a cold night, since it was nearing summer, but the wind cause a chill to creep up her spine. The cold blasts were sudden, they appeared out of nowhere and blasted against her skin, causing pinpricks of cold to tingle her sensitive skin. Her clothing was quite warm though, her black shirt with her white cardigan pulled over top and a pair of light blue skinny jeans. The dark-haired girl kept her shoulders hunched and her head down, still in shock of what she was about to do How could I do this to my family? Just leave suddenly with a small note only telling them that I'll be back soon? she thought and dread filled her gaze. The small white piece of paper had been left on the table in her dining room, she remembered each word she wrote because they stick in her mind like water drops clinging to a spiderweb. Niomi had quickly scribbled down a note to her parents and her siblings in her last few moment in her house for who knows how long. For all she knows her parents will call the police and come searching for her. She shook her head, trying desperately to shake her mind of the thoughts as the eerily quiet park loomed ahead of her.

Niomi watched nervously as the dark shadows from the tall trees engulfed her walking form. She remembered meeting with the group while they discussed where to meet. She had thought, but not spoken up, about where they were going to do and if anyone had any plan of what to do, though she didn't speak her mind, she just stayed quiet through the whole meeting. Niomi had only piped up once to say that she could bring extra food, so behind her she carried a suitcase containing her necessities and in her other hand was a large bag willed with all sorts of food, crackers, canned goods, fruits and even a few leftover meals in containers that they could easily microwave. She knew that the camper had everything from a working bathroom to a microwave. She had little time to regret her decision because she jumped along at the last minute and agreed to meet in the park by the parking lot to the west side. That's when she noticed the empty square that was the parking lot.

Niomi neared the parking lot and spotted a bench only two meters to her left. She felt relief fill her face and she walked over to the bench, sitting down and setting her things beside her. Her arms ached from carrying her belongings all the way from her house which is about eight blocks away. The teen brought her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them and hugging her legs close. She rested her chin on her knees and stared off into the distance and let her thoughts wander. I'm the first one here.... Maybe the others won't come... What if they ditched me and met at a different place? Niomi thought nervously, but she quickly shook them away No, they'll come.. They promised. The brown haired girl rubbed her eyes and let her legs fall to the ground once more and she glanced over her shoulder, searching for anyone else from the group that could be approaching the dark parking lot.

Mom and Dad,

If you wake up and I'm not home, don't worry. I haven't been kidnapped or anything crazy. I'm going on a trip with my friends. I don't know when, or if, I'll even be back. I don't know where we're going either, but we'll figure that out along the way. Like I said, don't worry about me. I'm fine.

Love,
Carolina

Carefully, the blonde placed the note on the fridge and sighed. She couldn't believe she was willing to leave everything she knew. Oh well. She probably needed this, anyway. It wasn't like she wasn't going to be alone and they weren't prepared. She had offered to bring money she had been saving for the last few months. It was a wonder why her parents never questioned why she suddenly started working more hours at her lame job. She took in the living room one last time. The grand piano nested in the corner, the many pictures hung on the wall, their husky/wolf mix sleeping on his little dog bed in the corner. She nodded, telling herself it was time to go.

The only things she was bringing with her were her guitar, some clothes, and some money. She didn't need much else. Other people were bringing other necessities along, so she didn't have a thing to worry about. It was a little chilly for it being near summer, but she didn't mind as she pulled the zipper up the rest of the way on her light jacket. She walked on, wondering when she was going to get to the meeting place. She couldn't help but have second thoughts. She pushed them back to the back of her mind, deciding that this trip was going to be good for her. She finally found the park, sighing in relief when she saw that she wasn't the only one there. She gave a small wave to Niomi. "Are you ready?"

.........before graham had left to go meet the others at the parking lot they decided on, he chose to take a shower. a shower? on a chilly night? well, it's not like graham is the poster child for making the best decisions. exiting from the shower, he dried himself off and threw on a pair of jeans and his favorite soccer jersey. it was a worn out dark ocean blue jersey, with his name printed on the back. his chest couldn't help but swell with pride. snapping out of his reverie, he turned to the mirror and decided he was too lazy to even attempt styling his hair. exiting the his bathroom, graham walked to his closet and looked for one of his hoodies to slip on. shifting through his closet, he had to push aside several of his past boyfriends and girlfriend's gifts just to get to his clothes. deciding on a plain black one, with faint peeling white lettering, the printed words long washed away. retrieving his phone from his nightstand where it charged, he shoved it into his back pocket and slowly crept down the stairs. his mom had the night shift at the hospital, so she wasn't home; however, his dad was home tonight. but graham's dad was probably in such a deep sleep, he could rival a bear during winter hibernation. making sure to skip the third step of the stair case [it creaked a lot], he successfully descended down the stairs of his house without waking his dad.
.........graham was reckless, but not cruel [okay, he was, but only a little]. so he decided to write a note. 'i left by my own will. i'll return... sometime...', it read. vague, but effective enough to let his parents know he wasn't abandoning them. graham pinned the note underneath the fruit bowl, knowing his dad's habit of grabbing an apple every morning before he left to work. it would be impossible to miss. making a list in his head, he checked off everything he needed. he had his phone, and an extra phone charger in his duffel bag. he also packed a change of clothes for himself, and some extra money from birthdays and holidays. he took his car's keys off the counter and picked up his duffel bag off the floor by its respective place by the door. his parents hadn't suspected a thing about his full bag, since it was a regular thing to see it stuffed with sports equipment. only this time, it wasn't his soccer equipment, it was his necessities for the trip. taking one last look at the picture of his family, placed by the door, he decided it was time to leave and meet the others. exiting the house, graham was immediately hit by a warm summer night breeze. the blonde smiled, content with the weather.
.........pressing the key on his car's remote, he unlocked the front door and hopped into the driver's seat. starting up the car, he put it into reverse and left his house. a nostalgic feeling washed over graham, but he chose to ignore it instead. graham had to drive to his uncle's house to pick up the camper [thankfully, graham's uncle was just as bad as him, in terms of behavior]. even though his uncle is just as reckless, he would never let graham leave his parents to go on a road trip with 7 other teenagers a week before graduation. which is exactly why graham lied and said he'd only be gone for 2 days with his 'special someone'. it was only around late ten 'o' clock at night, his uncle would definitely still be awake. quickly parallel parking his car by his uncle's house curb, graham jumped out and ran to his uncle's door. after much knocking, and exchanging pleasantries, he was finally ready to get his uncle's camper. much struggling and swearing later, he finally had the whole thing set. now, all he had to do know was meet the others.
.........taking his phone out of his pocket, he checked the address again. graham was sure he knew the way. and as it turned out, he did. within a few minutes he arrived at the designated spot. as he parked, his car's lights skimmed over two shadows huddled together. putting his car into parking and turning the ignition off, graham exited the car. he exhaled, his breath causing a small cloud of white to appear. it was if the temperature had dropped two degrees. hesitantly, he made his way towards the two shadows. he wasn't looking forward to making small talk with strangers, but he had no other option. once he was within hearing range, he mumbled out a quick "hello.", before he fell silent again. graham wasn't the best at socializing with strangers.

avalon stared at the notepad in front of her, absent-mindedly running her finger across the etchings that the previous pens had dug. she had been sitting at her desk, going over and over whether or not she should write a note. if she did, what would she say? her parents wouldn't care for all the lovey-dovey stuff that most people would write if they were running away - why should she other? but avalon felt a small tug of guilt at the thought of just... leaving, without a single word to say goodbye. she picked up the pen yet again, twirling it in her fingers and staring at the glow-in-the-dark stars on her bedroom ceiling. she could be outside right now, making her way to her car, which she had carefully parked a few blocks away, so as not to disrupt her household while driving off. avalon liked to consider herself a quick-thinker, she always looked into the detail of things, and if there was a fault, she would fix it. but when it came to love, avalon had no clue at what to say, or what to do. when boys had approached her for the school prom, or for the graduation dance, she had muttered a hasty 'no,' before quickly walking away and avoiding those guys for the rest of the year. it was no better for family, either. she had been driven down the wrong tracks, not because of her parents directly, but that they never told her where to go, and she had ended up hating them for never taking care of her. she was sick of it, so she arranged this trip.

luckily, five other seven other kids had joined her in the process, and it was the night now, that they would be off to explore the world. the only thing stopping avalon from racing outside was the note. avalon wracked her brains, but her body felt empty, and she couldn't think of anything. avalon drew a little squiggle, then smiled when she recognized it as an infinity symbol. the next minute, she was closing her bedroom door as quietly as she could, and sneaking down the stairs to her kitchen. she placed the notepad on the counter, taking one last look at the large sideways eight she had written on it, before lacing up her converse sneakers and exiting her house.

she had always been an enigma. she couldn't help it. she always spoke in riddles, and if you couldn't understand her, well... you wouldn't understand avalon. so far, no one had been able to dig deep enough for her, so she ditched the ones who called her friends, and started to become a lone wolf, independent and self-taught, and she was away. she was better by herself. she knew that. but she still couldn't help thinking that maybe there was someone out there, that would finally be able to read her language.

avalon started to jog towards her car, a sleek royal blue lexus at the end of the street. she unlocked it, got inside, then drove towards the parking lot they were meeting up in. it was only about five minutes away, so she arrived quickly, glad to see a few others already there. she hopped out of the driver seat, but left the door open, leaning against the frame of the car and crossing her arms over her chest, saying nothing.
