Okay, I'm not sure if my answers will help you or not, but here it is:
1) Since the only thing I really have figured out right now are the opening scenes, I'd like to start with what I know and then completely wing it. In that case, I'd like to start with Allie and Jack wandering around the fair, where they run into Dom, Chase, Kendyl, and the rest of their group. At this time, Dom makes her presence known to Jack and Allie begins to wonder who she is. In the meantime, Finn is hanging out with Shawn, telling him about how a very pretty girl (who is actually Allie) has just moved next door, and that he is excited to meet her. Shawn pays no attention to this and is in his own world complaining about how Jack has spent no time with him, and that he misses his friend. Shawn sends Jack a text, which Jack ignores since he is with Allie. While this is happening, Blair has just learned of a few parties in their hometown and desperately wants to take Allie and Jack to one, even though she knows that Jack will not be interested in it. She decides to send Allie a text about it, and Allie decides that she will later ask Jack if he would want to go. And lastly, while this is happening, Paxton and Asia are discussing the fact that he is taking her to meet his family (Allie, Jack, etc.) and are contemplating telling them about her job, addiction, and lifestyle.
I want to play this whole section out, and then after that, it will be totally free fall, the whole plot could change.
2) I'm not being picky, whatever best suits the situation or your writing style is totally fine. If you want to go far into detail, please be my guest! If not, that is completely fine. Whatever works for you.
I hope this answered your questions? If not I'll be happy to try again, haha (=

Ah, I almost forgot about Pax!
In this scene, Pax and Asia are discussing how to handle meeting his family (Allie, Jack, and their mom) tomorrow morning. They're discussing whether they should lie about their jobs and their drug use.
OKAY, now let it begin!

Okay, then, lets leave Chase the way he is!
I really want to get the ball rolling on this, so for now I will try to kind of shy away from the other characters, except Kendyl (I'll play her as needed), and I'll add tidbits of them into the story when needed, unless someone randomly decides to join as one of them.
But lets begin, I am too excited! I'll start off the plot and setting here and we can launch right into it!
The opening: Underneath the ridge in the town of Suthron, a festival has people from all three towns, including Folly and Chamberlain, wandering throughout the streets full of happiness and excitement. Allie has just moved to Suthron, and knows virtually no one there except for her boyfriend, Jack and his best friend, Shawn. But, Jack decides to take her to the festival in hopes to relieve her stresses of moving and unpacking. Meanwhile, at the festival, Dom, Kendyl, Chase, and the rest of their pack of friends are meandering the streets looking mischievous, for this is there 'pre-gaming' for the wild field party they'll be throwing tonight. The couple eventually runs into the group, and Allie, not knowing any of them, doesn't quite know what to do after she sees Dom flirting and eyeing her boyfriend up.
While everyone else in the town seems to be at the fair, Shawn and one of his buddies, Finn, are hanging out. Finn can't seem to stop talking about a beautiful new girl who has just moved into the house beside his. Shawn, having no interest in girls, only seems to be complaining that Jack has 'no time' for his friends and that he is always with Allie. After complaining about their crumbling frienship to Finn, Shawn finally decides to send Jack a text to ride dirtbikes with him and Finn, but Jack ignores him.
Meanwhile in Chamberlain, Blair, as always, has the invite to the best house parties in her town. She was always a huge socialite in high school and got invited to the most bustling parties. She wants to go, but is desperately missing her best friend, Allie, and wants her to experience a party before she goes off to college. So, in hopes that Allie might come, she shoots her a text inviting her and Jack to a party. Blair knows Allie will be interested and consider, but she isn't sure what the outcome will be since Jack resents anything that has to do with alcohol.
Let it begin!!

Well, in this case, lets make him Britain born but American raised, in the case that his parents have the accent but he does not. Lets change his economic status to about average, and with that he will dress somewhat like the 'skater' type, with skinnier jeans and flat-brim hats. I would still like to keep his love of fast cars and hard drugs, though.
Wooooops, sorry if I offended you, it was unintentional! (The kid I based Chase off of is actually from Britain, so I thought it would be cool to throw that little twist in there. Plus, who doesn't love a good British accent?)
Are you playing as Chase? Feel free to change details about his life! I am very open to new ideas with all of these characters. Since I am basing them off of people that I know in real life and changing their names and physical details, I may be stereotyping them without realizing it. So, as I said previously, change is good! If you want to throw any ideas of change into these characters, the plot, or the setting, please do! I'm actually begging for different ideas and different viewpoints.
Note for the above post: The characters above (Kendyl, Pax, Asia, and Blair) are still very one-sided and underdeveloped. If you play as them, you have more freedom to make lifestyle changes and add twists and turns into their lives. Just throwing that out there! As mentioned previously, this is all an experiment to see how things will go throughout the plot.
Awesome!! We can get this rolling as soon as we get a few more people to volunteer as different characters.
So far we still need a Kendyl, Pax, Asia, and Blair.

Anyone out there? 
Alright, so I'm a little new to this site (bare with me, please).
Basically, I am writing a story for my schooling and although I have the plot and characters created, I'm looking for different view points to spice up my plot and maybe to uncover things that I cannot directly see. I need nine people to play characters, and I will be playing one myself since the story is in first person. I will also give credit to whoever is willing to help me out.
Plot: The story is about a teenage girl who is about to go to college, but is in a relationship and has been for two years. She has just moved closer to her boyfriend from a town a few miles away. But, she starts to see that her boyfriend has taken interest in a different girl, and she is worried yet intrigued but is being pulled in a different direction since her new neighbor is very interested in her. Throughout the story, her boyfriend runs off with this other girl and begins to experiment with drugs and alcohol, and she tries her best to save someone she deeply cares about from a world of addiction. While this is happening, her mother begins dating someone new, her brother also becomes involved in drugs and a stripper, and she has trouble with loneliness since she has moved away from her friends and knows no one in her new town.
Setting: It is summer, current time. The story takes place in an area like Southwestern Pennsylvania (although I will not disclose that in the actual story) in three towns underneath a ridge. Our main character is from the largest city, Chamberlain, which is more of a ritzy area, although she is not rich. She moves closer to the ridge to a town called Suthron where her boyfriend lives, and it is more remote but very prosperous and quaint. The third city, Folly, is a very run-down area with a drug problem, and every here seems to be more "country" than the people living in the bustling towns.
Characters:
Allie Cameron - The main character (I will be playing her). She is 18 and very innocent, she does not drink or 'party' but is open to the thought of it. She is the typical all-american girl and is attending a university in the fall. She has just moved closer to her boyfriend and is very excited about it. She is loving, caring, and very sweet, but craves attention and a male figure in her life due to her parents separation and no father in her life. She is very polite and follows the rules, but loves to be the center of attention and is absolutely head over heels crazy about her boyfriend, almost to the point where she becomes unbearable. She is described as very short, blue eyes, long blonde hair, and a very contagious laugh and smile. She is a typical girly girl, but loves outdoor adventures and fun.
Jack Casper - Allie's boyfriend. He is twenty years old and attends community college in Suthron where he lives, but has somewhat of a 'lazy' or 'unmotivated' sense about him. He loves Allie but does not show his affection well, and begins to take interest in a girl he has known for years (Dominique). Although his parents make good money, he began his life living in a run-down section of Folly where he originally met Dominique. In the beginning of the story, he is straightedge and hates the thought of alcohol, but becomes easily influenced after trying to impress her. He is still coming off of his ego of being a jock in high school. He is extremely handsome, around 6'2" with dark skin, eyes, and curly long brown hair. He also has a contagious smile and bubbly personality. He later gets a job at the same restaurant as Dominique to make their relationship closer.
Dominique "Dom" Jakubek - Dom is the girl who steals Jack. She is also 20 and looks almost identical to Allie, but has a more edgy aspect to her personality. She is from Folly, and has lived a very hard life. Her parents didn't seem to care about her whereabouts and over the years it has shown. She is a waitress at a popular restaurant in Suthron where she makes money to support herself and also attends community college. She has always been an avid party girl and uses hard drugs, which she influences onto Jack. She isn't actually 100% interested in Jack, but just likes to play mind games and manipulate people.
Finn Dunnivan - Finn is Allie's new next-door neighbor. He begins to take interest in her and offers her relationship advice and comfort when things begin to go sour with Jack. He is sensitive, funny, and genuinely cares about Allie as well as Jack, since they went to highs school together. He is twenty years old, at an average height, with red hair that he spikes up. He is attractive, but not a typical catch for Allie. Although he is a good kid, he tries to introduce Allie to a few parties and life beyond what Jack has given her.
Kendyl "Ken" Jakubek - Kendyl is Dom's younger cousin. Although they look very different, they both have the same attitudes. Kendyl is also from Folly and has grown into a partying lifestyle with drugs involved. She does not care about what others think of her and will be the first to tell you how it is. She defends Dom throughout the story and helps her manipulate Jack. She is 18, 5'5" with dark hair and dark eyes, and is rarely seen without her boyfriend by her side.
Chase Larsen - Kendyl's boyfriend. He is originally from Britain and has an accent, but moved to Suthron and went to high school there. Although he is a typical rich kid with a fast car and unstoppable attitude, he got mixed into the kids from Folly after becoming a regular at the party scene and using cocaine, which he got from the Folly. Since he went to high school in Suthron, he knows Jack very well and helps introduce him to parties and reignite the flame with Dom. He is shorter than average, with dirty blonde hair, always wearing a hat, and dresses extremely well.
Paxton "Pax" Clawson - Allie's older half-brother. He is 25, did not attend college, and is trying to make a living for himself cutting lawns and landscaping. He is a very good kid, but hates the thought of work. He has blonde hair, brown eyes, and is also shorter than average. He does not live with Allie, but visits her and her mother often maintaining a very close relationship with them. He has trouble with addiction, and it worsens after meeting his new girlfriend.
Asia Marks - Paxton's new girlfriend. She does absolutely nothing for herself other than strip. She has no personality because it is usually covered up by her constant use of drugs and alcohol. She is a stripper at a run-down club in Folly and drags Paxton down further into addiction and a hard life. She has black hair and is very tall.
Shawn Hibbets - Shawn is Jack's best friend. Although they were very different in high school, the two neighbors have always stayed close. Shawn has no experience with girls, but tries to steer Jack away from Dom's ways. He is very awkward, very backwards and shy. He has brown hair and a brown beard, with dark eyes and a medium build.
Blair Rodney - Blair is Allie's best friend from her first home, Chamberlain. Blair tries to convince Allie to move away from Jack although she knows her efforts will not work. She is a very good friend to Allie and will support her in any decision she makes, although she may disagree and may voice her opinion. Blair loves to drink and socialize at parties but has never let herself sink into drugs and the scum that live in surrounding areas. She has dark curly hair, blue eyes, and is built slightly bigger than average.
I am open to all suggestions! All characters except Allie need to be played, so let me know who you will opt to be, and after we get volunteers, we will begin!
Opening scene: Allie and Jack are at the Laurel Ridge fair, which is popular for all three towns. While meandering around the carnival, Dom and her posse (Kendyl, Chase, and a few other people who are unnamed) spot him.
