1 / The Shore.

Alice walked up the white stairs to the house that her and central crew would be staying at for he next two an a half months. She really didn't know anyone besides Dare and Glitch. She actually grew up with Dare and Glitch would be there occasionally, she would have to admit that anyone crazy enough to hang around Dare would be crazy enough to hang around herself. Opening the door she felt an sigh of relief , she knew she was the only one there; well so far anyways. As she took time to settle in her new room, which was the furthest room upstairs on the left, she herd the door open downstairs. "Hello?" she quietly walked down the downstairs to see that a brown headed girl had sat her stuff on the floor. "Hey," the girl looked around, "Where are all the rooms?" Alice smiled "Well, everyone has roommates." The girls eyes widened "Assigned to us?" Alice shook her head, "There is two rooms up stairs with three beds in it." Smiling the girls walked up the stairs. "This is the room I wanted." Setting down her two bags "Can I stay here?" Alice nodded, "Of course, I'm Alice Cous'." sticking her hand out, the other girl hugged her "I'm Emilia, we will be great friends." The two smiled from ear to ear.

Emilia knew everyone in the house, she went to school with them. "Hey Mo, this is Alice Cous'. She'll be going to school with us this coming year." An African male moved across the room, "Well, Emilia gave my name away. I'm Mo." he shook her hand, and looked at her "Can you dance?" Alice knew that was something everyone had in the house "Well, Duh." she laughed, "That's the kind of attitude we are looking for." Emilia looked at Mo, "Do you know about anyone else?" he nodded, "Yeah, Taye and her little sister are stuck in traffic, McCoy is bringing Bodie by around noon." He placed his finger on his lip "Angel and Aubrey are on their way, together." he said in a voice that was more surprised than the last, she then remembered that Dare was bringing Glitch "Oh, Dare is bringing her little brother, Glitch." she smiled feeling accomplished, "How do you know Dare?" Mo asked with his eyebrow raised "I grew up with her in England." Emilia looked at Alice "Why do you have tan skin?" Mo nodded his head to one up the question "Well, my mother is white, and my dad was black and Pureto Rican." tilting her head he look her up and down, "So you moved from England for California, and made a trip to New Jersey?" Nodding she heard another car door downstairs. "Alice who is it?" looking out the window she shrugged "I don't know who it is." Mo slapped his forehead, "I'm going to get a room before anyone gets the room I want, are there any upstairs?" The girls nodded as he walked up the stairs next to them.

Emilia gasped as and covered her mouth "Mo its Angel!" Alice heard shuffling upstairs above them 'What is he doing?' Alice looked out the window, it was a Hispanic male with a ginger girl. "The the guy is Angel, and the girl is Aubrey." she sounded like she had rough times with the girl, she said her name with disgust. "What?" Alice turned to look at Emilia, "What is it?"

"Aubrey is a major drama queen, and she's spoiled." Emilia sat on the bean bag in the living room, "Dude, this is our seat." Alice nodded "M'kay." she sat next to the girl, the two that were already there knew her ethnic, she was curious about Emilia "What ethnic are you?" They stared intently at the door; almost like a killer was going to prance though the door. "I'm Brazilian." Alice smiled "Really, that's amazing!" When she was little she went to Brazil, she thought everyone was so pretty, that would explain why Emilia was so pretty. "Thanks." Emilia said with a smile, "here they come." The door opened, "Did you not hear me yelling out there for help?" The two shook their head, "Nope, sorry." Alice really didn't hear anyone yelling, but at least she could truthfully say she didn't hear them. "Who are you?" Emilia looked at Alice, "Don't worry about it," Aubrey looked at her and pushed her head to the side "Would you be a hun and get my bags out the car." Alice instantly knew what kind of person she was, "No sorry, I just brought in my bags." she sat back and ignored Aubrey, then Angel walked in "Why do you have so many bags Aubrey we are going to be here for a month or so." she giggled "I need my stuff, I can't go around looking like a octopus." Emilia and Alice burst out into a unison of laughter. Mo came down the stairs, "Emilia, McCoy." she shot out of the chair to the window, "Come here Alice." walking to her, "That blonde there is McCoy." Aubrey snickered "She has had a little thing for him for the past four years." Alice looked over at the girl, "Really?" she never had anyone to really have a crush on, yeah there were cute boys - "Do think it's a little crush either, its like 'Love'" She interlocked her fingers together and fluttered her eyelashes. "I thinking that Bodie. Lets go help them!" She smiled, "Okay, only for you Emilia." she shot a glare towards Aubrey.

"Hey boys!" she walked down the white stairs the sun was out, so it was hard to see were the stairs started and ended. "Be careful." A voice came from below, looking over the edge she saw another blond "I'm a big girl, if I fall its will be okay." she moved slowly down the stairs. "Do you guys need help?" they shook their head, Alice eyed the boy at the sliver car. "Alice, this is McCoy." she waved and squinted her eyes the sun was in them, as she was looking at McCoy shades were slid over her head "You'll mess your eye sight up like that." The voice said to her, "That's my cousin, Bodie." He smiled a waved at the girls. "He new as well this year. What grade are you in Alice?" she smiled at Bodie and turned to the other male, "I'm a senior." McCoy laughed "You don't look it." Alice nodded "I know I look what, thirteen?" he nodded, "Why don't we take the stuff in a take a walk to down town?" nodding the four walked back into the house.
