Amara

**Amara** is a sixteen-year-old girl and a major character in I Met you During Spin the Bottle. She is a high school student. Her best friend is Aralynn.

## Personality

Amara is a very caring and empathetic girl. She is always there to listen to what other people have to say but often has a lot to say herself. She's always been a shoulder to cry on for her BFF Aralynn and for others as well. Amara also has a bit of the comedic side, seeing as she often makes up ridiculous responses to questions to be funny.

## History

Amara walks by in the hallway and notices a girl crying. When she turns around, Amara realizes it's Aralynn, one of Cameron and Klara's friends, and nervously backs away, and that she's sorry and she'll leave. Aralynn tells her to wait, and that the truth is that she's not okay. She starts to cry, and Amara runs over to hug her, saying that she's here for Aralynn. Aralynn thanks her and says that she's sorry. Amara asks what's wrong, and Aralynn tells her that she's realized how horrible Cameron and Klara are. They bully people and talk behind their backs, and she's done with them. Ever since that day, Amara became really good friends with Aralynn.

Amara tells Aralynn that she heard a new student was coming in. Aralynn asks if she's sure, and Amara confirms it, and also says that she hopes it's a girl. Aralynn agrees, saying that having another crazy boy in their grade would be horrible. Mrs. Dennis then walks in, and tells the class to listen up. They have a new student, and she expects them all to be kind to him. Aralynn realizes it must be a boy, and thinks that this isn't going to end well. Mrs. Dennis says that he should be coming soon, and then he walks in. Aralynn realizes it's Hayden from when she played Spin the Bottle all that time ago. Out of embarrassment, she tries to not be seen. Hayden asks if he's late and apologizes, and Mrs. Dennis reassures him that he's not. Everyone gets in their seats, and Hayden takes the seat behind Aralynn and in front of Cameron.

After class, Aralynn explains that Hayden was the guy who kissed her during Spin the Bottle. Amara tells her to not jump to conclusions just yet, but Aralynn tells her that it's just awkward. If he figured out who she was, it would be...awkward? Amara laughs and tells her that she shouldn't worry about a stupid boy. She's been bullied by Klara and Cameron and has been in some intense drama. And yet, she's worrying about some stupid thing that happened a year ago? Aralynn tells her that yes, she is, and she knows it's stupid, but she still worries. Amara tells her that there's one way she can clear her mind of concern. Aralynn realizes what Amara is implying and refuses to talk to him, but Amara pushes her over to where Hayden is. Hayden immediately notices her, and Amara tells Aralynn that it's time for her plan to take action. Aralynn tells her no, but Amara is already talking to Hayden. Aralynn yells at her to get away from him, but Amara just "introduces" Hayden to Aralynn. Hayden recognizes her and Aralynn, embarrassed, pulls Amara away. She asks Amara what she was thinking, and she tells her that she thought it's time the ship sailed. Aralynn scoffs and asks why she ships her with that "worm-like creature". Amara, understandably confused, asks her what she meant, and tells her that she's never getting a boyfriend. Aralynn says that she doesn't plan to.

Later, Aralynn calls Amara and tells her that she can't believe what just happened. Amara guessing that she started attacking an old man with a spatula, and Aralynn tells her no, and asks if she really thinks she's that crazy. Amara tells no, which makes Aralynn happy. She then explains (with a few interruptions) that Hayden is her new neighbor. Amara asks if he's the dude she made out with, and Aralynn says of course not, she merely kissed him. Amara is extremely happy, but Aralynn, on the other hand, is not. This is bad news. Amara, however, thinks that her ship has sailed. Aralynn tells her that "the ship" will sink like the Titanic, and that's final.

The next day at school, Amara sees Aralynn waving good-bye to Hayden. She stares at her, and Aralynn asks why. Amara says that something is happening between her and Hayden, and she wants to know why. Aralynn was about to explain, but Amara interrupts and tells her she's in love. Aralynn insists that she's not, but Amara isn't taking no for an answer.

Later, Cameron approaches Aralynn, and tells her that she has a crush on Hayden, and Aralynn asks how that concerns her. Cameron tells her to stay away from him, and that he's her's. Aralynn tells her that he's already been claimed, then realized what she'd just said. Amara is delighted, while Aralynn is very embarrassed. Amara tells her that she's gonna have to convince Hayden to be her boyfriend.

### Cameron and Klara
