03.2023 | WELCOME BACK! Hello friends old and new! I'm so excited to welcome you all back to SITW! I've made some changes to the plot and added the ability to play supernatural charcaters! So come and check it out! I can't wait to jump back into this little town with all of you!
A strange history surrounds the town, it is a place where mysterious and supernatural things have been known to happen. The reputation of the town reguarly draws in visitors and newcomers alike. While some residents avidly believe in the supernatural, others are far more skeptical. What do you believe?
One might make the assumption that when you attended a school with your last name attached to it, that might mean something. But that wasn’t quite true in Kelly’s case. The sixteen year old boy tried his best to simply be invisible when he was there, it was easier than trying to navigate the heckling and teasing from some of his peers. He had long since gotten past taking offense to being teased over his name, that wasn’t even remotely original anymore.
He mostly ignored what anyone might make jabs about by simply slipping in his AirPods and tuning it all out. And it wasn’t necessarily an everyday occurrence, especially not when word would get back to Jesse, and Jesse -well, he was very protective of his little brother. Kelly counted himself truly grateful to have such an awesome brother. Never once resenting that Jesse had the backbone to fight. It just wasn’t his style personally.
Jeans and an olive green t-shirt, paired with a pair of regularly worn black Vans completed the young man’s look for the day as he walked to his locker to get the day started. He had made it to his locker when an overhead announcement had him being summoned to the office and he frowned, vaguely recalling how his uncle mentioned he would be showing a new student around this week. While he appreciated everything the man had done for him and Jesse, he didn’t care to be volunteered to show new students around. He stepped through the doorway and paused, raising his brow as the woman behind the desk gestured toward a petite brunette female. “Welcome to Hollified High, I’m Kelly.” He extended a hand, his tone soft and his hazel eyes not quite maintaining eye contact, clearly a bit out of his comfort zone.
It was her first day of school in a new town, a new state entirely actually. And it was in the middle of the school year. Great. It would have been much easier to start with everyone else at the beginning of the year but when your mom dies you can't really control that kind of timing. She had considered trying to get her dad, who she had only just met, to let her homeschool or something until next year but she knew she wouldn't do the work and then would fall behind in her credits. Besides, as much as she was enjoying getting to know Harland and Gemma, she had already started to get the itch to be around kids her age again, as uncomfortable as it was being the newbie.
She wore a pair of ripped up washed out jeans and a slightly too big black band t-shirt that she had tied a knot into the middle over her zipper. Her backpack was one shoulder and she adjusted it briefly as a boy walked into the office and introduced himself. Her guide. He was...really handsome but she kind of liked that he seemed a bit uncomfortable because it made her feel less intimidated. "Hey," she said back, shaking his hand a bit shyly before tucking her hair behind her ear. "Kenna."

Kelly wasn’t oblivious to the fact that the girl was gorgeous, though he might have at least felt a touch less timid if she wasn’t so pleasing to look at. He gave her hand a gentle shake, tucking his hand into his back pocket as he nodded. “Well, hopefully you enjoy your time here Kenna. I suppose I should show you to your locker first, which did you get assigned?” He raised a brow, hazel eyes finding her face this time and he tried to offer a friendly half smile.
He wasn’t cut out for guiding new students on tours, he didn’t have the personality for it. But when your uncle was the principal, it seemed a bit useless to try and argue. He meant well, which was way Kelly didn’t complain. He knew the man was just trying to help him branch out of his comfort zone, and give him the chance to meet some new people. “So… transferring in the middle of the school year’s gotta be rough, have you had the chance to get used to the town yet?” Okay, so maybe small talk wasn’t his strong suit.
