Unfortunately, I haven't spoken to JJ about acceptance and we've been asked to hold off until later tonight by two people. Because of this, we'll be pushing acceptances back until tomorrow afternoon.
You gotta live your life how you want to live it. Screw society’s expectations. You need to do what makes you happy. Because if you’re not doing what makes you happy, then what’s the point in doing anything at all?

MY STORY…
Coming from a rich Upper East Side family, it was thought that Valentine Smythe, as head of the family, would grow up to become someone powerful and successful, just like her parents. But while Mr. and Mrs. Smythe were out constantly at work and social events, their daughter found her calling at a young age. It started with finger painting and coloring in books with color outside of the lines. With the help of some supportive nannies, though, young Val learned how to become better at art. It was when she was only six that she asked her parents for art classes. That night had been one of the few that they were home for dinner, so Valentine had took the opportunity. After some discussion, her parents agreed to put her in to art classes, and after the first one she never missed a single class for the several years she continue to take them.
No one really cared about her growing artistic talent in school, though. All the teachers cared about was how Valentine’s grades were some of the best in her class, and all her peers cared about was who she was friends with and what the latest gossip was. There wasn’t really much gossip when it came to Val, since she was only middle school then. The biggest scandal that happened with her was when she kissed Mickey Johnson during a game of spin the bottle, and then the next day they started dating. That only lasted two weeks before they mutually broke it off. Some people considered Valentine boring since she never had anything really interesting for them to gossip about. All she was really good for was fun shopping sprees and awesome sleepover parties.
But that was middle school. High school would have been much different if she had remained in Manhattan. But for high school, Valentine had moved to Millard Academy. It was easy enough for her to get in, since by then she was showing great talent with her art, and her parents social and financial status could easily get her in to any school of her choosing. So Millard would be where Val would spend those four precious years of high school, and entering the campus on day one was enough for her to know she wanted to be on top. So Valentine joined the cheerleading squad and got some instant reputation points for just that. Over the course of freshman year, she worked her way up the social ladder by befriending a bunch of people and getting her name out there.
But she reached a higher social status in her sophomore year. That Halloween, Val threw her first party and it was a hit. Everyone who had been there talked about it to all their friends, and soon enough Valentine was throwing parties every month. She was notorious for supplying the best booze, and even some drugs, thanks to some suppliers she came to an arrangement with. But of course, she never had her parties on campus, not wanting to get in trouble for having alcohol and drugs on campus. Well at least, that anyone knew of. After winter break of that year, Val started keeping her own private stash for when she wanted it. Only a few people knew about it, and those were the people she had sussed out to be genuine friends of hers that she could trust.
It seemed that year by year, Valentine just kept on doing more things. Freshman year was gaining social status, sophomore year was when she became known for her parties, and it was when junior year started that she started sleeping around. At her parties Val was known to make out with some people, but she’d never gone further with anyone until she and one of her male friends had decided to hook up. She wasn’t too fussed about losing her virginity, it wasn’t really a big deal for her. And after that night, Valentine found that she actually quite liked sex. As time passed she also found she didn’t mind what gender the person was, so long as they were attractive and proved to be a good time. Some people whispered behind her back about it, but Val didn’t care. She wasn’t easy, and she didn’t see anything wrong with what she was doing.
Honestly, what she did feel was wrong was the slushies she threw at the new people. Due to her popular status and position on the cheerleading squad, it was expected of Valentine to be one of the people who threw slushies at these new students. When she had first been asked to and hesitated, her friends had all given her weird looks, so Val had given in to the peer pressure and served up her first slushie. After that first one, she always made sure to aim for people’s collarbones so it wouldn’t get them directly in the face. Every time she feels a pang of regret, shame and guilt, but with her friends watching her like hawks every time she’s dared to slushie someone, she knows she has to go through with it. Valentine’s actually afraid that if she doesn’t go through with it, she may end up on the receiving end of the slushie cup, and that certainly isn’t something she wants. But with each slushie she throws, her heart yearns more for her to stop.
Obviously, Val cares about her reputation. It’s hard not to when she’s built it up so well. But it isn’t the only thing she cares about. While there are many people who call themselves her friend, there are only a few people who are her actual friends. And those people she cares about. Valentine’s loyal to them, and genuine with them, and nicer to them than she is to many people. Most of the time when she first meets someone, she’s indifferent unless she takes an instant liking to them. But she can also be judgmental and a bitch. It’s only if you rub her the wrong way or she knows you’ve done something she looks down on that she’ll be a bitch to you. But as she gets to know someone and they know her, if they manage to get on and stay on her good side, she can be known to be fun. Whether Val’s bringing you to her next party, inviting you over to eat pizza and marathon television series or movies, or if she needs you as a model for her next painting, she can generally be a friend worth having.
What is this feeling taking over? Thinking no one could open the door. Surprise! It’s time to feel what’s real. What happened to Miss Independent? No longer need to be defensive. Good bye, old you, when love is true.
MY STORY…
Growing up, Catalyna always wanted to be like her big sister; which wasn’t hard, considering how much she loved performing arts and how much Kitty loved cheer and dance. Of course the girls weren’t the same person, there were some differences. For example, Kitty tended to stick with the classic traditional side of dance, while Cat took various classes which included the ones that Kitty took plus some others, like acro and lyrical. But Cat’s favorite style of dance is hip-hop. They were both cheerleaders, but still, not the same. Kitty was basically all about dancing, while Cat liked the singing, dancing, acting trio. Nonetheless, when they were young, their behavior was very similar. Cat honestly had no idea what exactly her own personality was; she thought the way Kitty was was cool, so she followed in her footsteps. While they did bicker, most of the time, the girls were picture perfect little blondes. Seriously, they were freakin adorable. Coming from a Catholic family, Catalyna knows very well what’s right, what’s wrong, and everything in between. And she had always stuck to the good side of the spectrum. Even once she got into teen years, Cat had stayed a virgin. She didn’t have many boyfriends. She never cursed either. She could definitely be rude sometimes, but during those rare occasions, her sister’s sweetness would make up for it.
Fast forward a few years. It’s a few months before the girls would be leaving for school, and they had been at a sleepover at their friends’ house. Kitty was best friends with Julie, and Catalyna was best friends with Julie’s fraternal twin, Melanie. It ended up being the scariest sleepover ever, and not because of the late night game of Bloody Mary. The reason that the sleepover was scary was because it was that night that Julie and Melanie’s older brother had forced his way into her big sister’s sleeping bag. Catalyna knows what happened. Because, although Cat had only saw the end, she had seen enough to know what had happened.
Catalyna wanted to talk to Kitty about it. She wanted to tell her parents. She wanted to beat her best friend’s brother to a pulp with a crowbar, but would settle for having him arrested. But she couldn’t bring herself to do any of it. She knew that she was the last person that Kitty would want to know what had happened. Besides that, Cat had no idea how to approach her sister. She tried multiple times. In the end, she just had to tell herself that Kitty obviously thought it was for the best to keep her mouth shut, so like usual, Cat did the same.
Two months later, the girls arrived at school. Cat had planned ahead by booking herself an audition for a show, which she auditioned for the very day they got to school. Next thing she knew, it was three weeks later, she had nailed her audition, had gotten a good role, was the understudy for an even better role, and was packing her bags to go on a National Tour for Legally Blonde: The Musical.
While on tour, Catalyna got close to a guy on the tour with her named Lathan, who became her boyfriend. After a few months, a different side of Lathan started to show itself, and very gradually got worse as time went on. Blinded by her feelings, Catalyna figured that he was just like all other guys. Sure he had his flaws, but then again, so does everyone else on the planet.
Flash forward to present time. It’s the beginning of March, she hadn’t been at the school long enough at the beginning of the year to really know anyone at the school, and her sister has barely even heard from Cat since June. Catalyna has fallen completely head-over-heels for Lathan; after all, he is perfect. There was nothing he could do that would ever make Cat think otherwise of him; which is why she is blinded by love and is in total denial of the presence of the abuse she receives from Lathan. While it is limited to verbal abuse for now, if it keeps heading down the same track, it won’t be that way for long.
Like most people in denial, somewhere in her sub sub conscience, Catalyna is aware that she isn’t exactly in a relationship that her sister, or that anyone else for that matter, would find acceptable. In the back of her mind, Cat knows that if Kitty were to find out the nature of the relationship, things wouldn’t be pretty. Cat and Lathan are both actors, so they can easily have a perfectly normal relationship in front of people. Well, everyone except for maybe her sister. No matter what anyone says, Cat knows that the whole ‘big twin connection thing’ is no legend or over exaggeration. There had always been one person who, if she was curious or worried enough, could see through Cat’s act. That person is Kitty.

Coming from a rich Upper East Side family, it was thought that Valentine Smythe, as head of the family, would grow up to become someone powerful and successful, just like her parents. But while Mr. and Mrs. Smythe were out constantly at work and social events, their daughter found her calling at a young age.
