Thread: A genius gets the girl.  (dkitty&hunglilboyforrp)

Chris jumps out of the taxi and watches as the three older girls leave him behind, the hot sun beating down on his dark skin, there's already a couple beads of sweat forming at his hair line. Ever since they got to the airport earlier today, it has felt like he has been the outcast of the group, which isn't out of the ordinary. He's always been an outcast due to the fact that he's flown through grade school with ease. Now in college at the age of 15, he thought being in college there wouldn't be any bullying. However, with him being such an easy target, even higher education doesn't leave him immune. Even away from school he's adopted and a part of a white family which includes siblings who are biological children to his foster parents. No matter where he goes he feels out of place. That is, until he met Beth. One their first day of Intro to American History, Beth had come in late, with the only seat open in the entire hall being next to Chris, she ended up next to him. At that point, Beth had been the only one who went out of her way to have a conversation with him and from then on they were friends. They would often have lunch together or have study sessions in Chris' dorm, most of the time he acted as the tutor despite Beth being 6 years his senior. Chris viewed Beth as a protector, a friend, and a confidant. And of course as when such a young boy sees a pretty girl who is nice to him, it didn't take much for his heart to grow around her. So when one day Beth was talking about going somewhere nice for Spring Break rather than the usual spots that are played out, he didn't hesitate and got to researching. Doing more work at trying to find the best place, for the best deal, at the best time that no one else would even bother doing, because he enjoyed it, and maybe Beth will be impressed. But here they are in paradise and she's running along with her friends, he can see as he straggles behind that they're looking at the muscular, tanned guys with their shirts off for some reason, Sure, it's hot out, but they don't need to have their shirts off... he thinks, ...they're just meatheads who have nothing better going for them. Which was true, none of them could have the deep, intellectual conversation with Beth like half of the ones her and him have had, it certainly didn't keep her from staring. He can hear the girls giggling amongst each other and then Beth looking back at him. She's giving him that look, that smile she gives whenever she is defending him, but he doesn't let on that he knows that's the case, he just forces a smile back at her and speeds up a little to catch up, puling his rolling suitcase behind him, catching up with everyone as they get to the front desk. Chris Age 15 Height 5'0 Physical Characteristics Chris is short and skinny for his age, his muscles haven't had to chance to become toned, the years of him sitting in libraries rather than in parks or playing fields shows. His skin a dark caramel color, not entirely dark, but also not being fair skinned either. He wears glasses in front of his dark brown eyes, but with a thinner frame that he convinced his mother to get him so he didn't look like the nerd he had been called for so many years. His black hair trimmed tight that Beth had convinced him to get a few months back, previous to that he had a very short, not well maintained afro.
