ida lopez. 16. aspiring lawyer. control issues to the max. nyc transfer to harwick. "you're afraid of me, because you can't be me. i see you cowering, because you can't come for my crown."
“...What was that about?” Ida asked the person she was walking around with, when one of the other students gave her something she deciphered as a weird look. New school and new rules aside, the girl didn’t like being looked at. At all. “Seriously though, do people here like like to be creepy and stare?” @harwickstarters
denver looked over to the person who had taken a seat next to him, “were you sitting here because you needed to buy something?” he asked them as he looked over his backpack. “i mean.. i do sell more than just drugs.” the boy teased. “valentines i coming up, i think i have some chocolate deep in this bag.” he said with a chuckle.
@harwickstarters
“No offense dude, but your whole marketing strategy is pretty weak. And no, I’m not looking for pills, thank you very much.” Ida had chosen this spot because it was relatively further from other students, and she was still fidgeting with her yogurt from lunch. “...I don’t eat chocolates.”
class was so boring for memphis. he was an idiot, honestly. he didn’t understand half the things that the teacher was saying most of the time anyways. so naturally he had fallen asleep on his desk. not paying one bit of attention to anything going on around him the boy drifted to sleep on top of his binder.

You could say Ida was having one of those days, where everything and their mothers were starting to get on her nerve. Back in Manhattan, she would just knocked out a few binders and felt better, but in a new school, she was basically just fantasizing of it instead. The boy beside her was...well, he was fast asleep, and as the teacher passed out work papers, she decided to be a good Samaritan and just poke him. Besides, it was still fun for her to bother someone. “Hey dude...” Choosing the rubber end of the pencil in her head, she poked his arm.
nathaniel had been practicing his free throws for the game all night alone and he had been so focused that he hadn’t noticed someone come up to him until they had spoken to him and he jumped a little as they did. “jesus christ, don’t fucking scare me like that!” he replied before then looking over at them. “what’s up?” @harwickstarters
Maybe Ida needed to stop walking so silently. She couldn’t help that her footsteps were so sneaky, and she hated drawing attention towards herself. “I was just saying...” She was almost amused by Nathaniel’s reaction to her appearance. “...you have good form.”
Poppy had been trying to finish Pride & Prejudice for her English class when she had gotten a text alert from a phone number she didn’t recognize, she then turned to the first person she could find and showed them her phone. “Did you just text me?” She asked them before then pointing to the text on her phone. @harwickstarters
“Uhh no? I’m looking up notes for debate club.” The answer was curt, and she wasn’t all too pleased that her attention had been diverted by some concern. “I don’t even text people anymore. It’s Messenger or bust.”
Duke enjoyed looking at the whole school from top of the cathedral, it was especially nice at night when everyone was in their dorms instead of walking around. The place felt more peaceful, hearing the sounds of footsteps echoing behind him along the stone he took a breath unsure who it was so he did a pleasant-sounding, “Are you looking for me?” He had a persona of a helpful and understanding class president and even though it didn’t matter to him if it came out that he wasn’t he just didn’t have the energy to tell people himself. @harwickstarters
“Not really, and I’m not looking for conversation either.” Ida had taken it upon herself to go on midnight walks, when her head felt too heavy and the demons came back. As much as she liked to pretend she was in control, that feeling of things slipping from her grasp did keep her up more than she’d care to admit. Standing next to the banister, she let the cold wind hit her square in the face. “I see why people like this place so much...even though it’s at a height.”
He was bored, so he did what he normally did when he was bored. Go outside and do parkour-type stuff. He wanted to get faster at climbing buildings, so he went slightly back, bouncing around on the balls of his feet, preparing to get a running start. He started running, but as he was running he noticed too late someone walking in his trajectory. He had built up too much momentum, but reacted as quickly, quickly vaulting over the person, twisting in midair. But he was too close to the wall of the building to perform the maneuver properly, his momentum causing him to continue to move, off of his feet. He quickly caught himself in a handstand, before pushing himself onto his feet.
“You good?” He winced slightly as he wiped his hands on his pants, his hands a little bit scraped.
@harwickstarters
Ida was watching him doing his thing; recently, she had taken up this thing called people watching, in which she just studied people and picked them apart to make herself feel better. But when the boy kept coming closer in speed, she ducked immediately, only standing up when she was sure she wasn’t going to get kicked in the head.
“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be? Between the two of us, I’m not the one who ran into a wall...”
“You know, last time I ate sushi, some stuck up lady came up and ‘suggested’ that I should stop eating or it would go to my hips.” Yeji sighed as she picked up a small sushi roll. “Was is offensive to tell her to stop getting botox because she was looking like a bitchy trampoline?” She looked up and asked the person sitting across from her. @harwickstarters
This was a tense situation to be in, and at the mention of that interaction, a shudder went down Ida’s spine. “Ya no, you should have totally given her a piece of your mind and then some. How dare she talk to a developing teenager like that? I bet her hips are even thicker.”
[ ━ alexa demie. cisfemaile. she/hers. ] my name is IDA LOPEZ, i am a 16 year old JUNIOR transferring in to harwick academy. people always say i’m CONTROLLING & VINDICTIVE but i think the fact that i’m DISCIPLINED & INDUSTRIOUS makes up for it. they also think of me as THE SMART ALECK but i’m not sure why. there is one thing that nobody knows about me, though, and it’s that I RELAPSED WITH MY EATING DISORDER. [ mabel. 19. gmt+2. she/hers. ]
Mentions of eating disorder down below!!
ida comes from a successful line of lawyers back in nyc. both her parents are lawyers and there is no other career field ida sees herself going into.
back in manhattan, she was something of a queen bitch, definitely had her own possey, and she’s incredibly smart. she might lead you think otherwise, but beware because she’s listening to your every word and dismantling you as an enemy.
when she was 14, under the pressure of doing better than she already was, she started developing an unhealthy relationship with her body, which led to her developing body dysmorphia and led to her eating disorder.
by the time she was 15, she had starved herself to an inch of her life and had to be hospitalised, thereby throwing a curve ball into her plans while she fought for her life basically.
ida did bounce back and get better, but she didn’t stay better. once she was out of the hospital and back in school again, she was starting that toxic cycle with her body and her mind.
transferring to harwick was more for saving face than anything else. her parents assumed that if she went somewhere that wasn’t as cutthroat and competitive, ida wouldn’t relapse. but life is funny like that, and she did.
she’s a control freak; wanting to have control over everything drives her and everyone around her insane. but she can’t stop.
ida is mean and frosty and cold, even though she doesn’t mean to come off that way. everyone is an enemy to her.
she is bisexual, but she’s definitely more into girls than she is into boys. but who has time for romance when there’s scholarships to be had!
WANTED CONNECTIONS
she’s the new girl, so she could do with some friends, nemeses, people she’s staying with and the works! I would love to talk more before we plot anything out!
