Winter. Good old winter. Winter is the best time to visit family, and most importantly, start up a relationship. Welcome to North Dakota. It doesn`t get much colder in this state. It snows up to 3 inches per day. It is very windy, and a perfect time to be with your partner. These teens have all gotten a month off to be with their families. But in this little town, they have all moved out, and either are living with their partner, or are living with a roommate. None of them live on their own. With a perfect season for cuddling, drinking hot chocolate, and being with their partner, say hello, to Winter.

So....I guess this is the part where I tell you how fantastic I am? How great it is to have a name like Serenity? Yeah, my parents thought that my name would help me to find peace but, having an odd name doesn't help with anything. Serenity is, as you can tell, a very peculiar name; not something every parent would chose for their child. The kids at school used to call me strange serenity, maybe I was a bit of a curious child; always on my own plus the angels who speak to me didn’t help but...they didn't have to be so mean about it. Anyways, on the day I was born -September 3, 1995- my mom was alone at the hospital; my father was being delayed by his work and other stuff -that we might get into latter- so my mom delivered me in the hospital but, unlike in all the movies she wasn't the first to hold me. Actually my grandmother had that privilege, she held me while my mother slept -something she does a lot of now- and thought I looked serene, peaceful; I was actually the only baby that didn't cry and I am very proud of it! So when my dad finally got there the next day my grandmother convinced both my parents to name me Serenity. Well that covers all the basic stuff, in short; My name is Serenity Rhodes, I’m seventeen years old and a girl.

I have pale skin, I don’t tan in the summer because I feels that it’s too much of a bother just to make myself look attractive. Besides how do you think people get skin cancer? While I don't like spending time outside I will wear sunscreen, better pale than cancer.My face is small, with full lips and a small nose the most important feature is my eyes, duh, my eyes are hazel with a light ring of warm chocolate brown surrounding the pupil. Now I'm not one to obsess over my looks, in fact I don’t even like to look in the mirror and will avoid it, but I do like my eyes. I always say that it’s my one acceptable feature. Framing my face is an abundance of wavy white/platinum blonde hair. I have never been able to tame my waist length mass of curls, unless it involves three cans of hair spray and an expert hair stylist, it’s almost like it has a mind of it’s own, you know? Don’t get me wrong, I like my hair but I just wish that I could straighten it in less than three hours. If I’m drawing or painting I usually put my hair up in a bun where I can stick all sorts of brushes or pencils in and remember where I put them. My body type is slim and feminine and I hate it. When people see me they automatically assume that I’m a delicate flower that needs someone to take care of me for the rest of my life but they couldn’t be more wrong. I’m not a delicate flower and my arms and legs are strong from all the swimming I do but does anyone notice that? No, of course not. I do have one tattoo, designed by me so even if someone has a similar design it would never be the exact same design, tattooed on my back are two wings, they cover my shoulder blades and part of my shoulders on each side.

What I’m like? Good traits? Bad traits? Inside? Outside? Oh, well let's start with what I'm like with other people; I'm quiet. I don't like being the center of attention, it's just not...me, and while I don't think it's a bad thing to be an introvert I do think that in a group I won't be all that fun to hang around, well. In a large group that's what I'm like, I hang in the back of the group and don't voice my opinions even if I know I'm right. In a smaller group of two or maybe three people I regain some of my voice; I’ve always had a quirky sense of humor, maybe I got it from hanging around my grandma on the reservation too much, most people don’t get my jokes but who cares? I think I’m funny and in a small group I definitely show it. I can also express myself more. I know a lot of stories, my grandma always tells me about sedna the sea witch or how the earth was created and I can recite them with the ease that comes with knowing every syllable. I guess that’s another thing about me, I have an amazing memory not quite perfect but almost. It’s actually quite funny, I remember the small things like your favourite color or where you put your blanket but I have trouble remembering what job you give me or what your name is. I also have a really bad temper, while not many things set me off, if I am angry I’ll scream and yell and sometimes I even throw things.
That was what I’m like with people, this is what i’m like when I’m alone. If I’m completely alone I feel so much more free to express myself how I want to express myself. I draw, sing, play my flute and even talk to myself. Even if I love to dance, sing and play my flute, those aren’t my true talents, this is the only thing I will admit that I’m talented in; sculpting. I have shelves full of small shoebox scenes of people and places buses, cafe’s even parks. I know it sounds like I’m crazy right? Well, I guess I am a bit crazy…I have a weird way of thinking and seeing things that, to others, would be simple black and white. Maybe this is why I’m always quiet, I just don’t want people to think I’m crazy even if I think I’m crazy because I hope I’m not crazy…does that make any sense?
When i look inside myself I can’t find the good things, all I see is an insecure and scared girl who can’t even start a conversation with someone because she’s too afraid they’ll reject her, that they’ll say she’s crazy. Maybe I’m too hard on myself but…you wanted to know what I thought about myself so it’s really your fault. I guess I doubt myself and what I can do more than I doubt the people around me; people have always thought of me as weak, crazy and pathetic. I’ve heard them talk about me behind my back and what cuts deepest is that, I can’t help but agree with most of what they say. I’m short and thin, I can’t carry really heavy things and with my stride I can sometimes slow the whole group down. My parents are ashamed of me so what have I got to be proud of? Sometimes I wish that I wasn’t living this life, that I could live in a different place and make friends but…how likely does that seem?

Ah, here comes the horror story, no really I’m just kidding it’s not really a horror story just…a regular one I guess you’d call it. Anyway you know the day I was born and you know about my cooking accident when I was five, those are all important but maybe you’d like to know about my mother and father? So my fathers a cheating, workaholic pig who’s either at work or somewhere else with someone else. I figured this out when I was all of nine years old, so I think my mom knows to. All she does every day is cook, clean and sleep. All the sleeping she does might be helped along with the few pills that I’ve found in the bathroom cupboard. This is what my life’s been like so far, I mean, my grandma is my real family. I spend a lot of time there, more than I spend at my actual house. Not that my mom notices. Me and gran do everything together, but she’s always telling me to get out of this town. Once upon a December.

Welcome to love and heartbreak galore! In the last few years, Adriana has had a fair share of heartbreaks. The only guy she broke up with, was a 17 year old when she was 15, because he moved to Indiana. Other wise, Adriana hasn`t broke up with anybody. Right now, she has no crush of boyfriend. Children and getting married, is certainly out of the question. And, sorry ladies, she is straight.
