In The Best Interest--Intro--
This isn't exactly a chapter, the next few chapters will be a day in the life...like JUNIOR CLIFFHANGERS and then go to when they're being taken to Horizon. This is to just introduce the story line+characters.
**KATIE DOES NOT BELONG TO ME, BUT EVERYONE ELSE DOES EXCEPT COLE AND THE CLIFFHANGERS WHO BELONG TO HGMONKEY017 AND FOX FAMILY [they don't deserve them!] Katie belongs to flamingteen so check out her and Cole's stories!**
Summary: After dealing with the kids from the Summer and especially Cole and Kristin, Peter and Sophie realize that it's not only the older kids or 'special circumstances' kids who need help. So, he sets up Mount Horizon Junior High from funds his father left him. It's not much. Just a few extra dorms near the High School to serve as boy/girl dorms and a classroom. What he didn't count on was a brat, a prejiduced girl, and sooo much more!
This story will be more humor than the others which is why it's drama/humor. I've also tried to differ their stories from the other kids from SOM and the Cliffhangers. I'm not giving ALL their pasts away right away. Some will be mysteries...
All kids are from ages 13-14 so Peter and Sophie are thinking about putting Kristin and Cole in there, but this doesn't go well with them, the CLiffhangers, or the new kids.
**Girls**
Name: Katie Mathis Age: 14 DOB: September 18, 1988 Parents: Mother, Lynn, stepfather David [father deceased] Siblings: older brother Kevin, 16 Record: Was an honor student until she came into middle school. Gets along with all teachers [mainly] except band teacher. Extensive disruptive behavior record, from band teacher and all teachers. No drug use or alcohol use, but has skipped school-particulary band-many times. Story: This is one that I'm not gonna give away right away! But you can kinda sorta get a hint. A basis is that her stepfather pushed her into joining band because he was a star baritone player in high school, so, she did to please him. At first she liked it, blah blah, and then it happened...
Name: Elizabeth "Liz" McCurley Age: 13 DOB: March 27, 1989 Parents: mother Jessica, father Edward Siblings: Younger brother William Record: Pretty clean. Just basically brattiness and annoying and smokes. Story: Liz is known to be very sarcastic, bratty and all-around annoying. She lives in a loving environment, and a pretty rich one, which is mainly why no one would expect abuse. But it's in her past. It's something she can barely remember, from when she was seven. So how's Peter or Sophie going to help her when she can't even remember? The bits and pieces she does remember are to painful already, which is why she acts the way she does, so people will think that she's just spoiled.
Name: Victoria "Tori" James Age: 13 DOB: April 2, 1989 Parents: Mother, Danielle, Father Gregory Siblings: Younger brother Jason and older sister Beth. Records: Known for very racist remarks, and has been suspended from school 10 times and expelled once. Once caught with drugs but was let off with a warning. Story: Tori is very racist as her parents are, too. Beth is the only family member she knows not racist, which is why Beth has never been accepted by her family and often was shoved onto the streets. Growing up in this kind of lifestyle and sometimes downright violent, she has became extremely hostile and prejiduce.
**BOYS**
Name: Mark Wilson Shepard [his story is true; it's one of my very good friends. A lot of these stories are similiar to mine/friends as well as previous characters I've made up] Age: 14 DOB: October 28, 1988 Parents: Mother Staci and Father Richard [lives in foster situiation] Siblings: Younger sister Veronica, and younger godbrother Jayme Records: Ran away many times, usually to best friends Kristyn's house. Steals often and skips school on several occasions. Story: Mark's parents were both abusive but it wasn't until his father was put in jail that his mom started. This was when he started running away. In October 2001, the authorities were notified and him and his sister were removed from the home and placed in foster homes. He's usually very sweet but rude and angry to anyone he sees treating girls bad because of the way he saw his dad treat his mom and his sister being treated.
Name: Samuel Kenneth Campbell Age: 13 DOB: January 24, 1989 Parents: Mother Hollie, Father Ian Siblings: Older brother Max, adopted little brother Kaysen, older sister Amber Jade. Records: Acting out in school mainly was his only issue... Story: Sam is your typical average all-American kid. However, his older brother Max excelled at sports and his older sister Amber Jade excelled at...everything. Kaysen was a South Korean orphan when his parents adopted him so that also made him seem inferior. Seems like your average "Even Stevens" family, think again.
"Day in the lives" coming soon! please review to tell me how the characters sounds so far!
