Miz, I'm thinking Wren gets charm attacked by Brenden (also called the beginning of her heatbreak XD) soon.


Wren had to hand it to her PA; he had an efficient organizational system and an enviable eye for interior design. Her room had a regal look about it, with its lavish furnishings, all with ornate golden trims. The walls were lined with all of her favorite movie posters as well, all cased in custom-made embellished frames. She smiled at the sight and walked over to the most precious one in her collection, the one that had her mother staring fiercely ahead, poised like the freaking queen. It was the movie that made her mother a legend. She swelled in pride and zeal and determination all at once, as she always did whenever she thought about her mother, then moved on to inspect the rest of her room with a slight giddiness. Wren took a moment to familiarize herself with everything, looking over and sorting through her wardrobe, vanity, and bathroom, before rejoining her new roommate outside.

The rest of the week went by in a flash. Wren fell into routine almost immediately: up by 5:45, exercise, shower, skin regimen, painstakingly choose outfit, breakfast. If she still has some time to kill before she needs to head out, then she would do little acting exercises or reply to some fan tweets (reaching out to the fans was absolutely necessary!). Most of the day was then spent socializing, with Julie or her other friends, and every once in a while, she would have to touch base with her agent or her publicist.

… ★ …


Sunday arrived sooner than she expected, and although the day's festivities got her excited, the sweltering heat that was forecasted was less than ideal. She had to be extra careful under the sun— it was explicitly stated in one of her contracts, which meant she was actually obligated to follow—so constant application of sunscreen was imminent. The weather also severely limited her outfit selection, but Wren took as long to pick out her clothes as she normally would. She decided after careful deliberation to already don her bikini, a simple black set given to her after a photoshoot, and wore form-fitting denim short shorts and a loose pale pink tank top. Wren felt rather short without heels, but anything other than flats would only be an inconvenience today. She planned on enjoying as many activities as she could, and she'll be damned if she let shoes cost her some fun. There was no need for make-up as well, although she had incredibly effective waterproof ones. Finally, her hair was up in a purposely messy bun, with a few wavy strands framing her face elegantly.

Wren smiled at her reflection in approval and then applied the first of many layers of sunscreen. She was embarrassingly super pumped up for this picnic. Was she acting too much like a child? But you can run around with water guns and get a chance to dunk one of the teachers! It was the best way to start a potentially stressful year of school. Smiling again at the thought, Wren grabbed a pair of oversized sunglasses and finally set off.

"See you down there, Jules!" she called as she passed through the living room. "I have to check if the snow cone machine I rented got set up."

By the time she got to the picnic area, there were already quite a number of people there, student and teachers alike. She found that her snow cone machine was indeed set up next to the potluck table, so she was now free to socialize as she pleased. It hurt to admit that her eyes were instantly drawn to the British native hanging around the infamous prank master—because, seriously, what the hell was wrong with her?!—but she immediately looked away and scanned for someone else she could talk to. Mr. Hawthorne was off by the grill with her favorite no-nonsense Australian teacher, and although she hadn't a clue what they were talking about, Wren only had to follow the vice principal's gaze to find out where Acacia was. She giggled when it worked, and was content to find the girl in question dallying by the parking lot with none other than Eliza.

"Hey!" Wren said, already running toward the two older girls excitedly. She hadn't seen them in quite a while! In her haste to join them, unfortunately, she had crashed against a solid frame with a tuft of messy back hair. She barely stumbled from the impact, but in her attempt to save the cornbread she accidentally knocked from his hand, she slipped and fell with a thud.

"Sorry about that, Mr. Aldrin... or is it Principal Aldrin? Mr. Principal?" she laughed a little, clearly a bit disoriented from the fall. "I successfully saved your cornbread, though!"
Ex said
OK, posted! This way Acacia, Eliza, Max and Hayden all get to talk a bit. Hopefully we'll all do that as a joint post, I think that'd be just lovely.

And Eliza wants to see Wren, so that should happen too.


Post imminent! ;) Oh, but first I wanted to add everyone I missed to Wren's RS.
Also thinking of making another antagonistic student. Then maybe we can have an unholy trinity.
Present~ :D

As she scanned through her feed, pointedly ignore the hate tweets that popped up every so often, Wren started picking up on the music playing outside. It was a familiar sound, something she'd heard often during her freshman year. Oh! It really was Vlad outside, wasn't it? She had been so engrossed with the familiar sight of the dorms that she just walked past the boy with the guitar sitting outside, brushing it off as a fleeting memory she'd just conjured up in nostalgia. Wren always seemed to miss school the most after an extended period of filming, but the same was also true the other way around. It was probably some sort of balancing thing. She needed some normalcy—school or other teenage stuff—after being in character for a long time, or she would probably end up in that character's mindset for quite a while.

Before she could think to get up and greet Vladimir outside, a familiar blonde had walked in the dormitories looking just a smidge troubled. Wren smiled as she approached, imagining what awkward adventures Julie Scott went through today. She and the older girl didn't get to hang out with each other all that much last year, but she knew her well enough to know about her frequent social missteps.

"Hey there, Jules," she greeted, standing up and waving amiably. She and Julie ended up greeting each other at the same time, but all Wren really comprehended was what Julie said, blurted out more like, next. Roommates. Well, that mystery didn't last long. She laughed a little at the irony of her purposely waiting outside in order to prolong and dramatize her roommate reveal, only to have said roommate meeting her there by chance. It sort of counted as an exciting reveal, though. She totally didn't see it coming. And besides, it was also pretty good news. She dreaded for a moment that fate would try to mock her and assign Alice Profit as her roommate, which had been the only she was really against, just so she would break her promise to her brothers. Julie was good… no, even better than good.

Wren noticed that her new roommate seemed to be emitting some awkward signals, so she thought her first act as most-awesome-roommate ever should be to make her feel comfortable around her. It wouldn't do for Julie to constantly look like she's berating herself over trivial conversations like these. Smiling, she tried out some words she learned in French, hoping the multilingual girl would feel more comfortable in the area she knew the best."Um, is it c'est merveilleux nouvelles?" she said, in an exaggerated accent that was undoubtedly wrong. She tried again, this time with a slightly better accent, then giggled playfully. "Well, however you say it, it's the truth. I hope we'll have some fun roommate adventures in the future!" she said with a wink and a genuinely excited grin.

It was then that another student walked through the dormitory entrance. He was all too familiar, with the jet black hair and the telltale guitar slung across his back, even though the glasses sitting on his nose was something new. Luckily, he was too far to charm her dignity off her, because she didn't want Julie to get the wrong impression. She can't go off looking like a silly schoolgirl, now could she? She contemplated on calling out a greeting, but he was in a rush to go somewhere, so she let it go. Better she didn't tempt fate. She turned her attention back to Julie; in fact, her whole digression took place so fast, Julie probably wouldn't have noticed she'd momentarily gotten distracted.

"So, wanna check out our room? I haven't gone there yet.” Ignoring any personal boundary standards Julie might have or what her answer would have been, Wren liberally hooked her arm around hers and began leading (or rather, almost dragging) her to the right wing, where all the girl's rooms were.

She made idle chitchat as they walked along the hall, asking her about her summer and what classes she had for the year, until they reached their room. 222. By then, Wren had released her, as nonchalantly as possible, noticing belatedly that her controlling side was kicking in again. Was Julie even on her way to their room? She assumed she was because she entered the building, but to be honest, she'd just dragged her here on a whim! What if she start thinking she was annoying and overbearing? That was the exact opposite impression she was hoping to make.

Wren tried to laugh her blunder away, but she had enough humility to look sheepish. "Sorry, Jules, got a bit carried away. The first day back always gets me overly excited. I hope you don't mind." She pressed her hands together in a cutesy apologetic manner, but her words were sincere. To make up for her earlier pushiness, Wren presented the lavishly-designed, as expected only from Caelbury, door to their room with a theatrical gesture and an impish grin.

"After you?"
Abigail was like a storm, but Cecily was having fun trying to keep up. When Abigail had locked her in a sudden tight embrace, she was physically unable to reciprocate. The purple-haired girl's hold on her was so tight that she couldn't move a muscle. It wasn't long before Abigail released her, but immediately after she gripped her hand and shook it rather vigorously. She didn't even try reciprocating this time; she knew there would be no use. Still, the whole ordeal made her incredibly happy. No one back in Vaniville would even dare treat her so… normally. Everyone else sidestepped and tiptoed, so afraid to get close that she started wondering if they actually thought she would break into tiny pieces if they did.

The Togepi standing cross-armed beside her wasn't paying attention to her or Abigail at all. It seemed to be engrossed with the events unfolding behind him, where tensions were certainly rising. Cecily didn't notice what was happening with Andre until Abigail did. She wasn't sure what was happening, but it was easy to see that something had riled up the amusing boy with the poor, unwanted Igglybuff. He was spewing insults and heated tirades left and right, something about Romans and sexual harassment and asses. Cecily was yet again amused by his antics—she'd never seen someone in real life turn red out of anger before, and it made her wonder whether smoke would actually blow out from his ears—but Abigail didn't seem particularly happy with him.

Right beside her, she could see Abigail turning from super sweet and hyper to super mad and hyper. Cecily didn't have experience with these kinds of things, so her interest was only piqued. She watched, entirely too engaged, as things seemed to get more and more heated. How exciting! She wondered what usually followed. Would it be an all-out actual fist-to-fist brawl, every person and Pokémon for themselves? That's what happened in that book she recently read, where the main character was this hotheaded manly man, not unlike the Igglybuff trainer over there. Or would the bickering parties go in for a battle? She idly hummed the upbeat battle music that played in one of the TV shows she saw while hospitalized, excited to see how everything would turn out.

"Oh!" she exclaimed, eyes wide as she watched Abigail grab Fi and actually threaten Mr. Grumpyface. What a plot twist! She didn't expect things to escalate so quickly, and now it seemed that there was a chance blood would be shed. Oz the Dragonsbane was on the edge of his shell as it watched, clearly hoping for things to get worse. Is this what usually happened when you're not under 24/7 supervision? No wonder her family was always paranoid with her.

Andre, despite the one on the receiving end of Mr. Grumpyface's wrath, was one of the calmer ones in this whole ordeal. He brushed everything off with a smirk and a wink and continued being his happy, overly touchy self.

Now Cecily was confused and just a tiny bit disappointed. So was there a battle happening or not? Did Andre fix everything with his superstar powers? Things seemed to calm down a bit afterwards, but Mr. Grumpyface was still understandably wary about Abigail and Fi. He spewed even more profanity that made her laugh a bit in shock because it wasn't something she was used to hearing. Which was a good thing, of course, because hearing her grandparents say 'dildo' and using the f-word every three seconds would be a bit strange. Anyway, before things got even worse, Mr. Grumpyface's Igglybuff seemed to finally sense the danger in the situation and started hiking up its trainer's body until it came at eye-level with Abigail. Tears formed in its eyes in an adorable display of pleading that made Cecily go 'aww' and Oz the Dragonsbane to roll its eyes.

At this point, Cecily burst out in a fit of giggle. "Mr. Grumpyface, you're amazing," she said between breaths. It seemed a little rude to laugh at his misfortune, but everything happening to him was so unlucky it seemed like the world was conspiring just to piss him off. Not only was he protected by the person he originally blew up at, but even the adorable Pokémon he was so ready to throw away had more chances of protecting him than himself. "It's the first time I've met someone with such crappy luck!"

Perfectly manicured fingers (today, her nails were a bright pink with a slight hint of glitter) gingerly wrapped around the smartphone charging on her dock, turning the alarm off before it began to buzz and ring. The still groggy brunette let her eyes slowly adjust to the light, hesitating momentarily before scrambling off the bed with a stifled yawn. Catherine Sinclair had to resist the urge to jump back on the warm inviting bed, her bed, fluffy and soft and hers. It was one of the things she missed when she had to shoot on location, which had been for most of the summer.

As soon as Caelbury had let out for the summer and up until a week ago, Wren had been working on the first installment of a planned trilogy. It was an answer to the young adult, dystopian, book-to-movie hype. There was a lot of debate that had come up after she was announced as the lead, so Wren was naturally beyond motivated to prove any doubters wrong. She worked her ass off these past few months, and didn't allow herself to relax until after the wrap party four days ago.

It wouldn't be the end of the world if she slept for a few more minutes, right? Wren looked at the clock (only 5:45!) and back to the bed impishly, weighing her options before diving back on the bed like a child. "Just five minutes," she assured as she closed her eyes and indulged herself just this once.

… ★ …

This time, she woke up to the unfamiliar blaring of her second alarm. Wide eyed and slightly panic-stricken, Wren hopped off her bed once again and headed straight to the adjoining room. Her closet, just as big as her bedroom, was filled to the brim with clothes and shoes but she developed an infallible organization system to easily sort through them. Wren quickly navigated to what she labeled as the 'fitness corner' and grabbed the first pair of workout clothes hanging. She would normally be more meticulous with her choice—they were dependent on weather and type of activity, naturally—but it was already 6:25 and she was behind schedule.

Wren had to do a shorter but more intense workout to make up for the lost twenty-five minutes, but she was back in schedule by the time she finished showering. Choosing an outfit normally took longer, but she had been so excited to go back to the academy that she already planned out everything. For today, she would be wearing a simpler piece: a beige lace back playsuit and white leather pumps with two inch heels. She went with a natural look for her makeup and styled her hair in a neat braided crown. Wren checked the mirror for the umpteenth time, checking and rechecking if the ensemble worked, before smiling in approval and heading down to eat. Breakfast with her family was as delightful as always. There were always funny work stories to share and hilarious, nonsensical hate mail to poke fun at. Her brothers went home for the week just to spend some time with her, so the day was even better.

With morning preparations over and done with, Wren was finally ready to go. Her suitcases would be handled by her PA, so she didn't have to worry about settling in her dorm room. Like last year, everything would be arranged for her before she even entered the room. It made her feel a little (okay, a lot) pompous, but she hated unpacking so she didn't mind too much. She bade her parents farewell and promised to check in with them at least every other week, and gave her brothers a long hug. They would be going out of the country for a few months, so she won't get to see them for a while. After another mirror check in the living room mirror, she was off.

The drive to Caelbury took only thirty minutes. She was free to stroll around campus before most of the students arrived, although she was certain there were already others unpacking in their rooms. Instead of heading straight to her room, though, Wren decided to walk along the dormitory building's foyer, before the building split into the girl's and boy's side. Finding out who her roommate was going to be was one of the surprises she liked to hold on for as long as possible. It was a bit silly, but she liked the reveal part. There was something about the first time you make eye contact with your roommate that appealed to her sense for drama. After a while, Wren sat on one of the plush velvet sofas available and pulled out her phone, checking her twitter feed as she waited for other students to arrive.
