Elena Taylor

A 19 year old girl, she came from a nearby City, her Mom decided to send her to study at the City Y instead of where they live. Her Mom believes that it will give her the experience of being independent and being a strong lady. Elena, whom most of her wardrobe is either in black or light black, (is it even a color?), standing 5’5’’ in height, with lighter complexion. Her friends used to tell her that the tanning salon would lose money on her, because she no longer needs one. Elena is a shy girl; she only shows her pearly white teeth with pink braces around her friends. She is not anti-social, it is just she describes herself as a girl who wants to prevent botox. She always says “botox is expensive, so I need to stop grinning ear to ear to prevent it.” Ever since she saw on one of her Aunt how botox made her look good, she swears she will not get it not because she doesn't like it, but she knows she wants it when her face looks like her Aunt and yet she can’t afford it. And damn, she can’t stop staring at her face that day; it really looks good on her Aunt. Her friends tease her that by the time she will need the botox she will be earning a lot of “cha ching ching” already. She does not want to bet on it though. Therefore to prevent fine lines she seldom smiles.

Maddox Grant

He has lived in City Y ever since he can remember. He is 19 year old, same with Ace and Jerry. All three of them stand 6 feet tall give and take, I might need to peek at their bio to confirm it. They used to celebrate their birthday in the Game Zone ever since they turned 10. They always look and smell good too. When they pass by along corridors their masculine colognes linger, hence making the girls googly eyes while watching them. Maddox is the 2nd grandkid of their family. His family owns a fish farm, enough to supply the whole City and its Restaurants. His family belongs to the higher class, but he does not mind attending the State funded University. He said he will be wherever Ace and Jerry will be. That’s why they have the same classes. You can always see the tree of them in a happy mood. They always banter words with each other that only they understand. They have their own codes.
