You happen to live (what you consider) a shitty life, the town is definitely not the best part and the residents aren’t exactly any better. You either get geeked out meth heads roaming the street or the occasional crimes in your area. School was even catastrophic, every other day someone was picking on another, fights were breaking out, kids sneaking off to hookup or smoke and snort whatever they could get their hands on. Your parents are pretty absent and if they’re home they’ll only say shit to belittle you. Usually you have to watch for your dad’s drunken outbursts, he has gotten pretty physical in his inebriated state. You wanted to make a living for yourself and try to get in college since you’re halfway through your senior year. And in order to make the money you desperately convinced the manager you can work as a stripper at the club in town, plus the pay was actually good. Never did you expect to see anyone from your school enter a place like this. That is until an unexpected meeting.
Ivan Morello Your troublemaking classmate who always sneaks out at night and seems to laugh obnoxiously loud just to annoy the shit out of people. Has a major sweet tooth and always seems to be walking around with cigarettes he steals from his parents. He’s even more obnoxious and carefree with his friends and has no problem swearing around anybody. He also sometimes hides his own problems behind his troublesome persona. Can be surprisingly quiet when he wants to. 18 years old, 6’1, naturally slim and toned for his age (he sometimes engages in sports and an off an on workout routine in his room). Pale skin, dark brown eyes, ashy platinum blonde layered hair with bangs that fall over his face, subtle bags under his eyes.
Matthias (‘Mat’) Chamberlain In Ivan’s friend group, slightly smaller and slimmer in stature yet more calculating, wears his glasses like a trophy (‘makes me look smarter’ mindset). He always looks around at everyone who passes in the halls with clear disdain. He can’t stand when someone tries to one up him and when they do he often resorts to physical measures, making sure they’re the ones looking up at him instead the other way around. 18 years old, 5’10, quite slim, fair skin, scruffy fluffy dark brown hair with bangs that fall over his right eye, round clear prescription glasses, light gray eyes.
Seth Stetson In Ivan’s friend group. He’s also more troublesome in the group, always more sluggish and making snide comments towards girls. Mostly seen every other day sporting his usual can of Monster (which is sometimes filled with beer) and smelling like tobacco and some cherry flavor vape scent. He’s often picking fights and somehow involving himself into any fight he could get into, always seen in medical patches and bandaids around his face, topped off with bruises and cuts because of those fights. 19 years old, 6’0, nearly ghostly pale skin, tired droopy gray eyes always shadowed in dark under eye bags, pretty much toned due to self-training, dark shaggy messy layered black hair that comes down longer in the back to shoulder length, dark steel ear piercings.
Finn Abrams In Ivan’s friend group. He’s quieter but doesn’t hold back on having fun with his friends, other than that when he’s by himself he’ll mind his business and pretty much just chill with his earbuds playing music. He usually just grunts at people and tries to stay out of conflict (unless he really needs to beat the hell out of someone). 19 years old, 6’3, fair skin, broad and toned, dark red dyed layered hair that is also longer in the back around the nape of his neck, deep blue eyes, has a distinct mole under his left eye. Usually wearing a chain around his neck.
You had no other choice, at least that’s how you saw it. Because the last job as a cashier in a rundown restaurant wasn’t enough to get you going.
No $10 an hour would get you anywhere, besides, the boss was a creep. Then again that wasn’t very surprising given you grew up in the most shittiest town with the most shittiest people, only trying to make a living of your own. Get out and make enough money to try and attend college was the whole plan.
Your parents weren’t going to help you. You had to help yourself. And you knew the pay as a stripper in that one club downtown was too good to let such an opportunity go. So after a few desperate attempts, you were accepted. And sure, lying about your age was easy enough.
And that is how you got here, coming in and doing what your supposed to, you had some time to work on your skills with every performance so it wasn’t too bad, sure enough you got used to it enough for it to become a daily grind. So here you are mid performance when the manager had come up to tell you that you were personally requested in one of the occupied rooms, by your stage name of course.
So you had sauntered off to the back where he had directed, and found the room at the back, pulling the curtain back to step in. That’s when a certain blonde sat up straight with a light smirk that instantly faded in surprise, pulling the sunglasses he wore down the bridge of his nose, exposing those dark brown eyes.
He let out a scoff of amused surprise, looking you up and down.
Well I’ll be damned.
