// works with me!

Lexi had never taken a train to school. It was a really odd way of getting to and from places if you were used to buses, cars, or even airplanes. Both her parents accompanied her to the trainstation, and while they were debating quietly in Spanish (Lexi's mother was Latino and her father took Spanish in high school and college; therefore Lexi grew up bilingual), their daughter was keeping an eye out for a pale boy with blonde hair and his...well, she didn't exactly know what to call the two boys that accompanied him, but she was pretty sure that the word 'friends' wasn't the correct term to use.

Lexi had kept her makeup and outfit to a minimum today, deciding that she shouldn't go all out on her first day of school. Already people would be starring at her a lot because she was a new older student, and she still had to get sorted, and if she looked extra she would have a harder time fitting in. They would think she was stuck up and no one liked someone who thought too highly of themselves. Smirking to herself, Lexi realized that no one liked a Malfoy.

Lexi wondered if today would be the day that the two families were officially introduced to each other. Lexi hadn't mentioned meeting Draco to either one of her parents yet, and all her mother had told her was that Lexi was to treat the Malfoys with the utmost of respect when they were introduced. Not that Lexi ever made one of her parents clients mad before, as she was an easily likeable person to most people, it was more of a 'I don't know anything yet' phrase that Lexi had been told.

Luna was normally dropped off to the train station by her father, but because he was busy working on the Quibbler magazine, Luna fetched a ride to the train station herself. Her goodbyes to her father until her next break was short and brief, which made her a little sad because she wouldn't be seeing him for a while, but she knew she was older now and that she shouldn't be so attached to her parent anyway.

She sat atop her luggage, boredly reading the Daily Prophet. Not that she believed much of what was being told inside it, but she had nothing better to do, and she got it for free from a magazine stand who was offering them free of charge. She wondered if she would see Sandy again on the train. She hoped so. That girl was very nice. Just thinking about her brought a smile to Luna's face. She looked up for a moment, her bright blue eyes scanning the crowd for the familiar face, but she didn't see Sandy so she went back to reading.

yes!! that was my favorite one on the list lol. do you want me to make the thread or do you want to? and should we make forms for our characters or do you prefer to jump in with a faceclaim, name, age and disease?

name: jonas habernathy

age: 17

brief personality traits: sarcastic, jokester, goofball, confident/cocky, hotheaded, brave, loyal, smartass, friendly (to some), outgoing, outspoken, etc think sirius black

here's a small quick form i made of my character! how should we start??

that's fine! i can make the thread and ill put my character's form on it and send it to you once its done c: have fun doing your volunteer work!

if you wanted to leave a door for their childhood open, maybe cassandra's parents and jonas parents worked together for business which made jonas and cassandra close for a while, but after they did their work and stopped working together, they kinda grew apart like their parents did? we could start on the first day of a new school year where they end up seeing each other a lot or something??

so do you want to start or do you want me to?

here's my character + the thread!!

when i wake up [ private ] i'm afraid

Another school year, another school day. Jonas was looking forward to his first day back since summer break. Perhaps not the classes themselves - god, those were dreadfully boring, but being with his friends and bringing chaos to his high school is what motivated him to get up this morning and prepare for the day. He normally didn't enjoy waking up so early just to shower, get dressed in his usual leather jacket, dark pants and boots, eat, brush his teeth and ride his motorcycle to school. Jonas blamed his excited jitters on it being the first day back in a while.

The weather wasn't looking too bad either. Sure, it was hot as hell since technically it was still the summer season, but since it was the morning the heat wasn't too bad. Besides, the breeze from him riding his motorcycle cooled him off. Jonas noticed there wasn't a cloud in the sky and decided that with the sky as blue as can be and the birds chirping away, this was going to be a good day.

He pulled up to the school parking lot and was relieved to find that there were some parking places still open right next to the sidewalk of the school. He pulled up, shut off the engine, kicked down the stand and hopped off his ride. Jonas then walked around to the front of the school where the buses got off, in search of his friends.

Except, he wasn't sure where they were? Jonas did realize he was a tad bit early, and figured that maybe his lads were just running late. So he sat on one of the benches by the sidewalk and waited.

//ah, sorry it's such a crummy start!

aweeee ari is so cute i love him!! and yea idk where they are either lmao i just picked a state at random and rolled with it

how should we start???

dude me too. i can see maybe when they meet its a little rough but once they ease up to each other theyre like really cute a a a a a

sure! what somewhere are you thinking? i see that hunter and ari are both young enough to be in high school, but also they could both be in the hospital or something?? or did you mean meet as in they are already familiar with each other and they're going out somewhere??

sorry i ask a lot of questions. also headcanon i just made up; hunter studies spanish and once he finds out ari speaks it he has a million questions about madrid because hes always wanted to travel

its good lol, i love characters like ari

that works with me! i could see hunter roaming the halls while he waits for his chemicals to be mixed and ready for chemo. do you want to start or should i?

poor hunter is like a little kid when he gets excited...ari is in for some fun with this one lmao

It would be an understatement and a very obvious lie to say that Hunter was not freaking out, that he had his cool and that he wasn't scared about his recent diagnosis of cancer. All he had done was check in and he could already feel the sweat gathering on his forehead, his palms shaking and the familiar ball of anxiety clinging onto the inside of his stomach. He was very far from fine, and he had no one to confide in because his parents worked and his older sister had to go to cheer practice. Each and every one of them offered to cancel their plans to stay with him, but Hunter didn't want to make things worse. He already knew the hospital bills were going to be a hefty amount and he didn't want to be any more of a burden than he was already beginning to be.

So there he was, alone in a hospital, waiting for his chemicals for chemotherapy to be made. It was about an hour's wait, but he didn't feel like digging out his laptop in the bag he brought with him, carelessly tossed over his shoulder, or using all his phone battery (although he had brought chargers for both the laptop and his phone) texting people who probably wouldn't respond anyway. Hunter decided that if he was going to be at this hospital so much, he could at least try to learn the ins and outs of the layout.

But it was so huge. He had even grabbed a map, and the place was still confusing as hell. If he wasn't having an internal anxiety crisis over having cancer, he was having one about how hard the map was to read. All he knew was what the nurse told him. To be back at the lobby he checked in at in an hour, then he'd be taken upstairs to the cancer wing to get checked up and hooked up to a machine and sit in it for long, agonizing hours before he went home and puked his guts out.

Alright, maybe she didn't say that last part, but Hunter heard that the side effects of chemo wasn't going to be great. He did some research online to figure out how bad it would be, and it sounded way worse than having a cold or the flu. There was going to be a lot of vomiting, and he was going to feel cold the entire time he was receiving chemo which was going to suck. And his hair might fall out! He'd have to shave off all his hair! Forget about being tired and weak all the time, if he didn't at least have his hair going for him while all that happened he'd definitely look sick too.

Hunter huffed softly in annoyance, flipping over the map to look at the layout of the first floor. Maybe he was holding it upside down or something? Seriously, how complicated did a map have to be? He was considering giving up, but walked right into someone in the midst of playing with his useless piece of paper that was supposed to guide him everywhere.

Hunter looked up in surprise, and took a step back away from the person so he wasn't so close. Eyes wide, he quickly apologized, "Oh gosh, I'm sorry, are you okay?" he asked, running his hand through his hair in stress, feeling his cheeks turn bright pink in embarrassment. Great, he just got here and he was already off to a bad start.

//lmao ur good

Hunter flinched at the strong voice that came from the opposing boy, and squeaked out another apology, shyly looking up at the boy again. At the guy's question, Hunter relaxed and shrugged a little bit.

"Anything," he replied. "I have to wait an hour before my oncologist can drug me up. I figured I'd try to learn the layout of the hospital, but the map," he could feel himself getting annoyed again, and it showed a little bit, so he inhaled and continued speaking, this time more calmly. "the map is so confusing. I've been to like five hospitals and if I had a brain tumor that took over every inch of my head I'd still be able to read their maps."

Hunter had thought at first that perhaps maybe he was looking at the map wrong or that he was dumb, but the instructions and the drawings on the paper made no sense. Hunter would know about maps, he liked to draw houses and design them when he should be doing his math work at school. Either the hospital had some renovations and forgot to update their maps or whoever designed the map had no idea of the layout of the hospital.

"It'd help if I could find the cancer wing, but this place is huge and the map is useless so I guess I'm just walking around." he admitted with a small, shy laugh. He hoped that his stress wasn't showing through his words or body language, but he'd always been a bad liar. Hunter ran his hand through his hair again and looked up from the map to the boy.

My my, this was an attractive one. Hunter was already drawn in by that nice foreign voice of his, but his looks confirmed that yep, Hunter was very gay. Nice and easy on the eyes, although he could already tell that the same couldn't be said for the personality of the male Hunter was looking at. He wondered what the other boy was here for, but Hunter didn't want to be rude and ask outright, so instead he went quiet.

Lexi knew that she wasn't going to be there when the two families were introduced when her parents sent her off to board the train. The young girl hugged her mother and received a kiss on the cheek from her. Lexi received a pat on the back from her father, but she knew both the kiss and the pat were just for show. After receiving a quick scolding in Spanish, which their daughter replied with a simple, "Si, mama..", she turned and began walking towards the train.

Only to bump into a boy with flaming red hair.

"Oh, gosh I'm sorry," Lexi apologized quickly, giving a smile to the boy and resting her hand on his forearm. "Are you alright?"

She noticed he was joined by another boy with black hair and glasses and a bushy haired girl who was looking at her with curiosity.

"Who are you?" the redhead asked. Lexi removed her hand to move her hair; it was more of a nervous habit than an actual need to groom herself.

"I'm Lexi, I'm an exchange student from-"

"America," the girl breathed, amazed. "I'm Hermione Granger. This is Ron and Harry." The girl pointed to each person in turn. Ron offered a smile and Harry nodded his head in greeting. In return, Lexi gave them all bright smiles.

"It's nice to meet you guys," she replied. "Um, I have to go do something, but it was lovely getting to meet some classmates. I'll see you guys around?"

The trio smiled and nodded their heads. Lexi could tell that she at least hadn't made them mad at all, which was good. She then turned and began walking towards the train, not yet noticing Draco Malfoy to the side of her.

Luna looked up from her copy of The Daily Prophet. Her disgusted face turned into a bright, cheerful smile when she saw Sandra standing in front of her.

"Sandy!" she exclaimed with joy, crumpling up the newspaper and shoving it into her trunk that she had been sitting on. "How are you?" she asked as she tugged the bag open, shoved the paper in and forced it shut. She turned to look at her friend.

"I got here a couple minutes ago, but I didn't have anything to do so I was just reading." What Luna decided not to say was, 'I got here a bit ago but I didn't have anything to do so I picked up this trash written with lies called the newspaper and started reading all the crap they put on it'. She figured it wouldn't go over as well with Sandy as it would've with Luna's father.

"A Mudblood?" Lexi asked, clearly confused by the slang term. However, her eyes narrowed at the fact that Draco thought that being poor was what made someone awful.

"What's wrong with being poor?" she demanded. Draco had hit a hot spot with her, and he was about to get an earful. "I myself am not poor, but in my loving country, poor people are the backbone of what I call home. They do nothing but work to provide for their families and anyone who is willing to work a job they don't like for hours everyday just for themselves and their family is honorable. Poor people are what built my country and what keep it standing still today. If you dare think that someone is less of a person just because of their income I don't think that we will get along as well as I thought we would."

Lexi crossed her arms and glared at him. She could see that some people had started to watch and were starring. She didn't care if it was because she was handing Draco's ass to him or if it was because her accent clearly showed she wasn't from here. "However, if you apologize to the poor one and the - what was it, blood-mud? - maybe I'll reconsider where you stand with me."

She doubted he would do it, but it was the excuse she needed to give him the cold shoulder. She was scared to even guess what a Mudblood was. He was already an idiot for trying to insult someone for being poor around her. She heard the train whistle, and turned away and began walking to the train, assuming that Draco wasn't going to apologize.

~~~

Luna grinned and sighed an air of relief. "Yeah, this trash," she agreed. "I was good before I started reading it. What about you?"

She heard the train whistle and nodded at Sandy, picking up her things and motioning for the girl to follow. Luna snaked her way through the crowds onto the Hogwarts Express, walked on the train until she found an empty compartment, and stepped inside. She moved her bag to above one of the two benches and plopped down on her seat when she was done, huffing slightly because her bag was heavy.

"The same as usual," he replied around the apple piece in his mouth. Finishing chewing and swallowing, he gave his friend an even look and asked, "but you look a little down today. What's on your mind?" he asked.

Out of the corner of his eye, he thought he saw someone familiar. Turning to look at them, he was surprised to find Leo. He gave her a small smile before focusing back on Archie. Once his friend was finished talking, he would invite Leo to join them, but he was putting his best friend first. It looked like he had some serious stuff on his mind. Archie gave Jughead a home; the least he could do was let his friend talk it out.

~~~

Violet was having a rather easy first day. A lot of the people here already had their group of friends, but lots of people were willing to invite Violet into their groups and be nice to her (minus some jocks and preps, like this one intolerable redhead girl she had met last period; she was very nice to Violet until she made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with Cheryl).

So it was no surprise that when Violet went to lunch, there were a few groups of people that invited her to sit with them. She decided on a group she had met her first period, a mix of boys and girls, and joined them at their table and began eating and talking with them.

Violet glanced over and saw Archie; she gave him a bright smile before turning back to her friends.

Jonas soon saw his two best friends arrive, and a happy grin quickly covered his face.

"You didn't take the bus?" one of the boys asked teasingly, knowing full well that Jonas would rather die than take such a public transportation to and from school everyday when he could get his own ride.

"Oh shut it, I don't want to hear anything from someone who eats a sandwich with the food in a napkin," Jonas shot back with a laugh.

"Yeah princess," the third boy joined in, sharing the same smile as Jonas and his other friend. "do you lift your pinkie when you drink too?" He mimicked drinking a tea cup and got slapped on the shoulder, which made him laugh harder.

The three continued joking around and laughing, making their way inside the school and went into the cafeteria, taking their place by a much quieter group of girls.

//oops! sorry for the delay, i thought i had replied already

its okay dont worry!!

Jughead frowned. "You and Veronica are taking a break?" he asked, a little surprised. He hadn't noticed that, and as a writer and being an observant boy, he was shocked that he hadn't caught on sooner. Now that he thought about it, the two were butting heads a lot recently. Jughead then realized he was living in his own world for a while, and that he needed to snap out of it for Archie.

He saw his friend smile, and Jughead glanced over and saw Violet. Muttering quietly to Archie, he said "We'll talk later but something says you want to talk more to this other girl." He then tried to wave her over. Jughead turned and motioned for Leo to join them as well. He wasn't sure if she saw though; she was talking to another boy, he noticed. He tried not to let it mean anything to him, and he quickly turned to look back at Archie.

"Just don't be too flirty," he reminded quietly. "If Veronica hears something like that she'll be pissed."

~~~

Violet was in the middle of listening to a story one of her new friends were telling when she got elbowed in the side by one of the boys sitting next to her.

"What?" she asked, turning to look at him. He simply nodded in the direction of Archie and the other boy, who was motioning for her to join them. Surprised, she looked over at her friend, who ushered her out of her seat and handed her her food tray with a wink. Cheeks going pink (because she knew very well what the boy was implying about her and Archie, she had heard teasing all morning about it), she walked over and joined them, taking a seat next to Jughead.

"Hey." she greeted, taking a bite of her fries.
