Rhett Andrew Fitzgerald
twenty/college student/single
" i act like i am experienced, but I'm still a virgin "
Highly intelligent. Nerdy. Shy around girls. Thinks highly of his intelligence. Excels at science, biology, and mathematics and technology.
Rhett is Rhine's twin brother and family genius. He displayed an above average intelligence all his life which grew as he got older resulting in his 205 I.Q. He is a brilliant person who, despite being so intelligent, is majorly lacking in the social arena.
Rhett doesn't know how to communicate well with non-geeks or brainiacs, having little to no interest in most of the movies, tv shows, and music that today's kids listen to. And since he has an advanced vocabulary it comes as no surprise that he has a hard time just communicating his thoughts sometimes. He's still very friendly and eagerly tries to make people feel welcome and accepted. He is also very shy around girls, especially pretty or popular girls. Rhine often tries to set him up with girls from her classes but nothing really becomes of it. He excells at math, biology, and science in particular and his goal is to someday become a famous scientist as well as a science professor at Columbia. Rhine is very overprotective of her twin brother and spends a lot of time with him.
Rhine is proud to have such a smart brother though sometimes becomes irritated when he uses large vocabulary and scientific terms to explain things. It's not as though Rhine is stupid, in fact she has an above average IQ and is quite the brainiac herself. Rhine knows that it's hard for Rhett to fit in but thankfully her small group of friends has folded him into their conversation. Everyone assumes poor Rhett is totally as experienced as any other college kid. But to be perfectly honest the poor kid is still a virgin and hasn't even gotten to second base except once by accident. He brags like he's had a load of experience, his share of sexual adventures, but they're all lies.
Erick Kye Charles
fourteen/freshman/single
" The doctors say I don't have much time left. I don't want to waste it. "
Erick has been battling cancer for most of his life. He had managed to get into remission twice before... but just a few months ago it came back. The doctors really don't think he'll win this time.
Because of the cancer and the kemo and all that, Erick has been in and out of hospitals a lot. He never really got the chance to make a lot of friends. He has no siblings and the stress his medical issues put on his family is probably the reason his parents divorced. His father didn't want spend any time with him when he was sick. Erick knows it's because it hurts his father too much knowing his son is that sick. Though they had been managing shared custody for a few years, when Erick got sick again his dad signed over full custody to his mom. And then his mom moved them here, something about the fresh air being good for him.
Though his parents are having a tough time with this, Erick himself seems to be dealing with it alright. He just wants to use the time he has left to it's fullest extent, and because of this, and his limited experience in social situations he can often come off as weird and quirky.
