* Ezekiel

Ezekiel Griffin grew up in a happy family with a good income, money coming from his dad’s job - that’s how everyone knows about Ezekiel. He is the son of one of the most famous music producers, Justin, and Dorothea, an unemployed woman that dedicated her life to her family - husband, son and two adopted children. They were a happy family, Justin was Ezekiel’s role model and he taught Zek everything he knew about music and the music industry, how to play all the instruments and produce. That’s what Ezekiel is most passionate about now, and he is a really passionate person. He was often with his dad in the studio, helping him and producing his own music. Ezekiel met a lot of powerful people that way and remained friends with most of them - not like that was hard for him. He is one of the friendliest guys you could meet, his bubbly personality and a smile he always has on could win over anyone.

Things changed when one day he woke up and his father was missing - gone without saying anything. It’s been almost 6 months and he is still missing. That wasn’t the only thing that changed in his life; his mother soon got with another guy, Tanner, Justin’s music producer friend. Tanner and Ezekiel never got along and Ezekiel refuses to think of him as a “family member “. At the very beginning, Ezekiel tried to be nice to him, help him in the studio in hopes to find out something about his dad but that soon had to stop. For one reason or another. Even if he doesn’t like him he is the reason they still have money, plus some Justin left behind.

Ezekiel enjoys connecting with others and has an irresistible charm. Even though he can be private sometimes and a little bit more introverted, he tries to be the life of the party and make everyone around him happy. He is an emotional guy but he guards his feelings and prefers to listen, not to express. He likes to focus on his friends or partners, with little interest in dictating the mood of a situation with his own feelings. Ezekiel can become hypercritical, self-critical but also of others. The image of himself that he seeks to reach can sometimes be impossible, and then he can be incredibly hard on himself. But when it comes to others that’s constructive criticism, often made out of the best and purest intentions. Ezekiel can be rather indecisive and finds it hard to make up his mind - on the other hand, when he does, he can be extremely competitive. With that comes the daring and adventurous side of him. He never says no to new things and new adventures, that’s what he loves to do. So when he heard about the Blue Royalty, that daring and competitive side of him woke up and now he wants to try that. But maybe he is not ready to hurt the ones he cares about.

## Storyline

Ezekiel and Annie Williams's car breaks down in forest, they hook up, the forest sets on fire from Zek’s lit joint, but when police come Annie tells him to leave resulting in only her being arrested. Zek felt terrible about leaving Annie alone but it was too late to go back, so he found himself at the first school party, acting as if nothing happened. He dragged Victoria to the side, noticing his friend had some kind of an accident given by the fact she was wearing a huge jacket covering her dress. The escaped to the ''Sound room" in hopes to get some revenge on the girls that bullied Victoria - they announce some fake news regarding Hera and Charlotte. The night continued with them having fun and Zek confessing to Victoria what happened prior to him arriving to the party.

Arriving late to school and missing some of his classes, Zek leaned against a locker that happened to be Laurel's. Asking how she was supposed to open it when he was blocking it, he joked that he was only there to do it for her. She used to be his first love and things were still a bit weird between them. To continue the conversation and not be awkward, he asked for the notes from classes he missed.

We find out Zek has not been living with his family for some time now. Before the Halloween party he tried to go back home just to see his sibling and do some trick or treating with them. He even had costumes for the three of them in his bag but he was soon kicked out by his mother's new boyfriend, Tanner. Arriving to the party, he was in an assigned group with JP, Lenora and Elio, his good friends. He did not like seeing Lenora with Elio but there was not much he could do about it, he discussed it with JP.

Their conversation ended when Zek noticed Elio and Lenora fighting. Trying to be a good fiend, he stood in between them yelling at Elio for talking to Lenora in a disrespectful way. When Elio left Zek noticed JP was the one now making sure Lenora was alright, and feeling awkward he decided to leave them.

For the past few months his nights were spent at a hotel where he befriended a receptionist named Jenna. He begged her to let him stay for a few more night promising he will pay for it all soon, as soon as he gets money from music he released. He tried to bribe her by promising she is going to be in his next music video. In school he catches up to Lenora, taking that opportunity to tell her she deserves far more and better than Elio. He almost said how *he* could never do something like that to her. He suggested she skipped school today to protect her from whispers about Elio cheating on her with Veronica Parker.

On the day of Jordan and Jezebel’s wedding, Zek had Kaya as his date. The two had been good friends for a long time. The night passes in them having fun and drink champagne. The next day back to school, Ezekiel confronts Annie about not attending the wedding, to which she responding badly, bringing back up the fact that she got arrested so he didn’t have to, and then left him without another word.
