Year 14: [name_f]My[/name_f] friend [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] “Joey” Fontaine from cheerleading invites me on vacation with her family to Mexico. I’m so excited when my parents let me go! I start high school. I fall in love for the first time with a boy in my grade, [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] [name_u]Edward[/name_u] [name_m]Rutherford[/name_m].
Year 15: I go to a [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_m]Swift[/name_m] concert with some school friends. We have an amazing time! I also decide that [name_u]French[/name_u] is my favorite subject, as I love learning about another language and culture.

Year 17: [name_f]My[/name_f] mom gets remarried to her boyfriend, [name_u]Kit[/name_u]. I get to be the maid of honor, my sisters are bridesmaids and my half sisters are flower girls. I go on a school trip to [name_f]China[/name_f], as I’m also learning Mandarin, so we go on an exchange.
Year 18: [name_f]My[/name_f] mom has a baby boy, [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. He’s a bit of a surprise but a very good one! I graduate from high school and head off to college, where I dye my hair pink.

Year 14: [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] is fired from her job as a grocery store worker at Publix. She missed work too many times because she often forgot when she was scheduled. Her beloved friend and dog, [name_u]Ridley[/name_u], also passes away. She is heartbroken for a long time.

Y1: [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] makes a friend at daycare: [name_f]Meera[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Khatri. She’s a petite Indian-American girl who takes to [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] immediately

Y7: [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is diagnosed with ADHD. With her new medication, therapy, and accommodations, she’s now thriving both in school and at home
Y8: [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] starts taking clarinet lessons
Y9: [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] joins chorus at school and turns out to be a really good singer! Her teacher encourages her family to sign her up for voice lessons, which [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] begs them to do, and soon she’s performing solos at concerts and charming all the elderly members of the community who show up
Y10: [name_m]Ed[/name_m] gets transferred to Toronto for work, so the family moves to [name_f]Canada[/name_f]. The sheer fact of moving is a bigger adjustment than the new country for the most part, but [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] struggles with relearning how to spell certain words
Y11: [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] becomes OBSESSED with a new book series about teen witches
Y12: [name_u]Casey[/name_u] and [name_m]Ed[/name_m] split up. [name_m]Ed[/name_m] remains in Toronto while [name_u]Casey[/name_u] and the kids move back to the US to live near her parents

Y14: [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] dyes her hair blue. Her father is not a fan, but keeps his mouth (mostly) shut since he’s not the custodial parent
Y15: [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] gets pregnant and insists on raising the baby herself. On top of the usual stigmas, the fact that she’s bi and has blue hair would make a bad reputation completely unavoidable, so her mom pulls her from school to homeschool her during the pregnancy.
Y16: The family moves to a new city for a new start with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and the baby. It’s not kept a secret, but it’s also not broadcasted, to give [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] a chance at somewhat of a normal high school experience. The baby, [name_m]Colton[/name_m] [name_u]Wyatt[/name_u], looks just like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] did as a baby, except for his shockingly blue eyes.
Y17: The family attends a reunion. The handful of relatives that were gossiping about [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] behind her back are charmed by [name_m]Colton[/name_m] and change their tunes
Y18: [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], struggling to balance school, parenting, social life, and general wellbeing, lucks out and has the most amazing teacher, Mrs. [name_m]Kendrick[/name_m]. She helps [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] realize she can still go to college after all, tells her about a support group for teen moms in the next town over, and lets her know that she’s still the same person. It’s totally life-changing for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

Year 14: Elijah’s new friend becomes me and Brittany’s friend as well. [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_u]George[/name_u] McKinley turns us into the Fearsome Foursome. I start doing volunteer work at the local animal shelter. It’s amazing being around all of those animals.

Year 15: This year for [name_f]English[/name_f] I have an awful teacher. She’s extremely strict and seems to have it out for me ever since I was late to her class that first day. I start to get interested in poetry and find that it’s a great way to express my feelings.

Year 16: [name_f]Brittany[/name_f] invites me to [name_u]Paris[/name_u] for the summer as her parents have a house there.

She provides her with extra lessons in flexibility and balance after school which leads her to move up a class in her dance school!

Year 15
The family go on a vacation to Greece. It’s all the children’s first time on a plane! Although [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] was a bit nervous at first, all the children eventually loved the ride. They had an amazing time in Greece. Violet’s favourite activity was going snorkelling with her dad! Also this year, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] tries out for the netball team that her best friends are a part of. Unfortunately she was rejected! She wasn’t that upset tho because she only wanted to join to be with her friends and doesnt even like netball that much!

Year 16
As [name_f]Violet[/name_f] continues to improve at her dance school she is accepted onto a national competition dance team! She is so excited and her parents couldn’t be prouder. A month into the competition season she performs her first solo and wins in her age category! Also this year, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] goes on a school trip to NYC where they watch a broadway play and see the empire state building. The triplets start secondary school this year.

Year 17
This year starts off very difficult for [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. One of her best friends, [name_f]Joanna[/name_f], is killed in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is devastated but gets through it with her friends and family’s support. To help her feel better, [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] and [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] let [name_f]Violet[/name_f] get violet dip dye in her Hair.

Year 18
This year, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] graduates high school and starts at university in [name_u]London[/name_u] studying dance and performing arts. She moves into university halls and meets who will become her first love, a medicine students called [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_u]Wolf[/name_u] [name_m]Burton[/name_m]! The two soon start dating and become official after a month. Also this year, the family dog [name_f]Iris[/name_f] dies from old age. Everyone is devastated, especially the triplets who haven’t known life without their best friend. On the triplets 13th birthday their parents get them a new dog! Another rescue from the same shelter as [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. They name her Vixie and although she will never replace [name_f]Iris[/name_f], they love her just as much!

-Appearance: Curly [name_f]Strawberry[/name_f] Blonde hair and [name_u]Blue[/name_u] eyes
-Hyperlexia and Non-verbal

Year 14: To try and help her heal from the last few traumatic years, [name_f]Addie[/name_f] decides to dye her hair. She doesn’t want anything ordinary, she wants something that is fun. She decides to dye her hair dark purple with light blue highlights in it. Her mum was upset at first, “Addie! You’re beautiful ginger hair,”. However, once she saw that it improved her mood, she was okay with it. This year she has decided to keep the colours, maybe she will change colours another day or let it go back to her natural colour. Another thing that happened this year is the family’s dog [name_u]Kit[/name_u] died. He was 14 years old and had a nice long happy life. However, he was old and died from natural causes. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] was very upset about it, she has had the dog since she was a baby. She does not remember a time without him. [name_m]Just[/name_m] another thing she will have to get through. She’s going to need lots of hair dye.

Year 15: This year [name_f]Addie[/name_f] experiences something that she never thought she would. It never seemed likely, especially after her accident. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] fell in love for the first time. At the start of the school year (last year), there was a new student. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] found him really cute, but did not think it would turn into anything other than a crush. His name is [name_m]Brodie[/name_m] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Bowen[/name_m]. He has curly light brown hair and dark brown eyes. He has the cutest little freckle above his lip and a tiny birthmark on his neck. To [name_f]Addie[/name_f], he seemed like one of those guys that just fit in anywhere. He played a few sports, but wasn’t a jerk jock, nor was he a brainiac although he was smart. He didn’t seem to fit into one particular mold. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] had been partnered with him a few times and it didn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary. He would try to ask yes or no questions and she would nod or shake her head - a few times she would write her answer if it needed a longer explanation. Not until one day, when they are working on a large assignment - end of the term project - and he signs to her. She responded without noticing until he asks her to sign it again. They become friends and then they start to date. He is very sweet and is learning a whole new language for her. He is even nice to her family. She couldn’t help it, but she fell in love.

Year 16: This year [name_f]Addie[/name_f] discovers a spot, an open field with a little pond, behind the park by Brodie’s house. [name_m]Brodie[/name_m] showed it to her and now she comes here often, mostly by herself. It’s very quiet, sometimes you can hear the echoing of children screaming from the park but mostly it’s birds chirping and other bugs buzzing. It is very picturesque and serene. It allows [name_f]Addie[/name_f] to think and to sort through whatever is on her mind. She finds she can collect herself there. One of the thing she has been mulling over here is her mother’s wedding. This year her mother and her mother’s boyfriend [name_u]Andy[/name_u] are getting married. They have been together for five and a half or six years. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] loves [name_u]Andy[/name_u], he is the best second father she could have asked for and a great father for her youngest siblings. The one thing that is causing her conflict is why her mother has decided to marry [name_u]Andy[/name_u] and never her dad. Was it his choice or was it hers? Either way she isn’t upset about it, but she is curious. She is her mother’s maid of honour and her little sister [name_u]Abby[/name_u] is the flower girl. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] brings [name_m]Brodie[/name_m] along as her date. It was a very lovely event.

Year 17: This year [name_f]Addie[/name_f] decides to learn something new. She has thought about trying something physical, like sports or running, swimming, something active to get her up. However, she has learned that she is not very active anymore and is clumsy. She decides to do something productive. She has been seeing a lot of knitting videos online, of people making clothes or items out of wool. Either they do this for stress or they do it as a business. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] decides to follow the trend and see if she likes it. It turns out knitting is very calming for [name_f]Addie[/name_f], she is so focused on doing something that she is not focusing on other issues in her life. Maybe one day she will turn her new found hobby into a business but for now she is enjoying the peacefulness of it right now. However, while [name_f]Addie[/name_f] was trying out activities she could do, physical activities, she breaks her finger. It was her pinkie on her left-hand. She broke it when she was trying out roller-blading. Definitely not the activity for her.

Year 18: This is an important year for [name_f]Addie[/name_f]. She is graduating from high school! She is so ready to be done with it. However, she still doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life after school.

Year 14: I join an after school yearbook club at my school.

Year 15: I attend a large family gathering on my dad’s side of the family.

Year 16: [name_f]My[/name_f] mother’s boyfriend dies in a car crash. I was somewhat close with him, but my mother and my half siblings (his children) are devastated.

Year 17: I find out I am pregnant with a baby girl. Both of my parents are supportive but the parents of the father of my child are not supportive at all and force him to break all ties with me. After finding out I am pregnant, I have to quit gymnastics, which I had been excelling in and was on track to be a professional gymnast. It is hard, but I know I have to raise my daughter instead. At the end of the year, I give birth to a healthy baby girl named [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u] [name_m]King[/name_m], her middle name in honor of my late half-sister. [name_f]My[/name_f] mother agrees to help me raise my daughter at her house when she is born.

Year 18: I graduate from high school, and my father gets remarried to a woman named [name_u]Addison[/name_u] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_m]Wells[/name_m]. She has one daughter, so I gain a stepsister named [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] [name_m]Wells[/name_m].
