Aralynn

**Aralynn** is a sixteen-year-old girl and the protagonist of I Met you During Spin the Bottle. She is a high school student and is dating Hayden. Aralynn has a mom and a twin brother named Devon. Her best friend is Amara.

## Personality

Aralynn is shown to be a bit of a tomboy and quick to respond with a sarcastic remark. However, she is a caring and sweet girl overall, being supportive towards her mom when she got a promotion and always trying to see the best in everyone. However, that leads to her being a bit naive, shown when she kept believing that her old friend Cameron could maybe return to how she used to act. Aralynn also sometimes doesn't think before acting and gets embarrassed easily.

## History

Aralynn and Devon's mom calls her kids into the living room. Devon asks what's going on, and their mom tells them that she got a new promotion. Aralynn congratulates her, but then their mom breaks the news: they have to move. Aralynn and Devon are shocked, and Devon is especially sad. Their mom apologizes, and Aralynn says that she understands, and that it might be cool to start a new school and meet new people. Devon complains about how he'll miss his friends, but Aralynn tells their mom not to worry and that they're happy for her, and to just ignore Devon.

Time skip, and it is now the first day of school. Devon and Aralynn walk in, and Devon comments on how he can't believe Aralynn is wearing a skirt. She tells him to not even start. They arrive inside the school grounds, and Aralynn pulls out her phone to check where her schedule is. Cameron, Aralynn's old friend, walks by with Klara and recognizes Aralynn. She taps Aralynn on the shoulder, and Aralynn squeals in excitement and hugs Cameron. Cameron tells Aralynn that she missed her so much, and Aralynn agrees. The two catch up, and Cameron explains that after Aralynn had moved away, Cameron had moved here a year after.

After school, Cameron introduces Aralynn to her friend Klara. Klara asks who Aralynn is, and Cameron explains that they have been best friends since kindergarten, until they both eventually moved. Klara comments that she looks pretty enough to join their group. Klara says that since the spring dance is coming up, she was thinking of going to the mall to shop for a dress, and that they'll all meet up at the mall tomorrow at 1:00 PM. She then walks away, and Cameron apologizes, saying she can be a little salty sometimes. Aralynn tells Cameron not to worry, and that Klara will be better once she gets used to her.

At the mall, Klara is disgusted by Aralynn's outfit and asks what she's wearing. Cameron agrees, saying that they look like boy clothes. Aralynn laughs and says that they're actually Devon's, and that she forgot to do her laundry so she took some of his clothes. Cameron says that they should just start shopping, and the three head into a Gucci store. Aralynn isn't excited, but Cameron and Klara certainly are. They all try on new clothes, which Cameron and Klara love, but aren't really Aralynn's style. She comments that they look pretty in them, and Cameron exclaims that she's really excited for the spring dance.

Time skip to the dance, and Klara mentions how many people there are. Cameron adds that there are also boys, and giggles. Klara tells Cameron that she's going to go get a drink, and Cameron decides to come too, adding that while they're there they could ask some cute boys for their Snapchat. Then the two leave, Aralynn all by herself. She stood there for an hour waiting for them, and when she couldn't wait anymore, she left the dance. Aralynn headed to the bathroom, where she found Cameron, Klara, and three boys who she didn't know. Cameron says that she can explain, and Aralynn tells her that she's fine, but why are there boys in the girls' bathroom? Cameron says that she met these boys at the bar, and that they were about to play Spin the Bottle. She tells Aralynn that she could join them, and she admits that she doesn't know how to play. Cameron reassures her that they'll tell her how.

Klara begins to explain the game. They spin the bottle, and whoever it lands on has to kiss whoever it landed on before. Aralynn is a bit unsettled by the thought of kissing one of them, but the game has already started. The bottle lands on Hayden, and then lands on Aralynn. Aralynn is shocked and says that she's not doing this and she doesn't want to kiss Hayden. Cameron exclaims that it's about time she had her first kiss, and tells her to "stop acting like a little girl" and do it. She tells Hayden forcibly to kiss Aralynn, and they do. Aralynn tells Hayden to get away from her, and runs off, promptly falling on her face. She wonders pitifully what Cameron has become.

Aralynn stayed friends with Cameron and Klara, even though she knew they were bad for her. They were obsessed with boys and too mature for their age in general. For months, she let them push her around. Aralynn didn't know why she didn't leave them. Maybe she was scared. Scared to leave her "best friend". Maybe in her tiny hopeful head, she was hoping, hoping Cameron was still in there. Loving, caring, funny Cameron. The one she looked up to. Inside she kept hoping. But deep down, she knew she couldn't be saved.

Back at school, Klara is gossiping to Cameron about a girl named Diana who died her hair black, saying that it looks disgusting. Cameron agrees, saying she should have kept it blonde, and the boys were swooning over her then. Now they think she looks like a witch. Klara and Cameron laugh, and Aralynn walks up to them. Cameron asks her if she's seen Diana, and Aralynn says she has, so? Aralynn thinks she looks good. Cameron says that she looks like she came out of a garbage can. Aralynn tells them to just not bother her, she needs to get to her next class. Cameron is taken back by Aralynn's cold demeanor and says, "Fine, be mad at us. But FYI, you look like a pig without makeup and a push-up bra." Aralynn just tells her that at least she's beautiful on the inside, unlike someone. She leaves, leaving Cameron stunned.

In the hallway, a girl turns to Aralynn and asks if she's okay. When she turns around, the girl realizes that she's 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 the girl runs over to hug her, saying that she's here for Aralynn. Aralynn thanks her and says that she's sorry. The girl 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, the girl, who's name was Amara, became really good friends with Aralynn. But little did she know, her drama with Cameron would only become worse.

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.

Back at Aralynn's house, she's listening to music when Devon walks in and opens the door outside. Aralynn asks where he's going, and Devon tells her that their mom told him to go greet their new neighbors. He asks her if she wants to come, and she says sure. When they arrive, Aralynn is shocked to see that her new neighbor is none other than Devon. Aralynn is shocked to see him, and excuses herself, leaving Devon with Hayden. Devon asks him if he wants to play Super Smash Bros.

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.

When Aralynn opened the door the next day, she found Hayden waiting for her outside, which surprised her so much that she fainted. Hayden apologizes and asks if he scared her, and Aralynn says yes, but thanks him for helping her up. She asks what he's here for, and Hayden tells her that he wanted to walk her to school. Aralynn, although a bit confused, says sure, and the two set off.

Once they arrive at school, it turns out they made plans to meet up at coffee shop that afternoon. Aralynn waves bye to him, and later finds Amara staring at her. She asks why, and 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.

At the coffee shop, Hayden tells her that the shop looks really good. She asks, very red in the face, if he could be her fake boyfriend because of the problem she got herself into with Cameron. Hayden agrees, and the two began to "fake" date. They started hanging out more, and playing around like best friends. Soon, they developed real feelings for each other, and now, it's safe to say he's Aralynn's.

## Relationships

### Mom

Aralynn and her mom have a pretty good relationship. Although she isn't seen very much in the Mini Movie, Aralynn seems to be supportive of her mom's choices and they love each other very much.

### Devon

Aralynn and Devon, being twins, have a very strong bond. They are good friends and often tease each other. The two attend school together and Aralynn seems to enjoy her brother's company, although she sometimes is annoyed by him.

### Hayden

Aralynn and Hayden first met at the spring dance when they played spin the bottle. They had to kiss each other, although Aralynn did not particularly want to and refused to. Cameron basically shoved Hayden across to Aralynn, and they were both very embarrassed. A year later, Hayden started attending Aralynn's school, and Aralynn was still so embarrassed from what had happened that she tried to hide from him. Amara was having none of that and "introduced" the two. After Hayden became Aralynn's new neighbor, they became good friends. Cameron began to show interest in Hayden, and Aralynn accidentally told her that she was dating Hayden to spite her. They started to "fake" date, but eventually they grew real feelings for each other and are now dating for real.

### Cameron

Aralynn and Cameron were best friends when they were younger. However, they both moved away and lost touch. They reunited when Aralynn moved and started attending Cameron's school. Cameron and Aralynn became friends again, introducing her to Cameron's new BFF, Klara. Aralynn realized that Cameron had changed: she was now obsessed with clothes and boys. However, Aralynn kept holding on to the idea that she might be able to bring Cameron back, but it was clear that Cameron wasn't changing. Eventually, Aralynn ditched Cameron and Klara, and their friendship was shattered.

### Amara

Amara is Aralynn's best friend. They first met after Cameron had teased Aralynn and left her in tears. Amara comforted her and they quickly became friends. Amara often teased her about Hayden, but they maintain a good relationship. They're always there for each other and they don't care what other people think.

### Klara

Aralynn didn't particularly like Klara from the start, but since she was Cameron's friend she acted nice to her. However, Aralynn hated Klara's attitude and they way she gossiped behind other people's backs and only cared about clothes and boys. Aralynn was happy to ditch her and Cameron for Amara.
