not-yet-titled Story 'Introduction' to the Characters

AN (Author's Note): I decided that I would write a story based on events that occured between now and January... related to a certain guy I 'went out with' for nearly 6 months. Nothing absolutely horrible occured between us, nothing absolutely incredibly amazing, and nothing all too dull either. This is only BASED on the situation, though... eh, I'm the author, I have the creative liscense to do whatever I want with it. Yet, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stick to mostly 'facts'...

Main Characters
*names have been changed; and are subject to change again...

Kimberlee (Kim, Kimi, etc.)- Main protagonist; goes to a youth retreat, comes home with a boyfriend. She lives in a town near the church, and attends school in her 4000 poplation town, with a k-12 school.

Rose- Kim's best friend who attends the trip with her and is totally amazing. She is insightful, brilliant, and is somewhat obsessed with vampires. She goes to Kim's church, and goes to a school in that city.

Jared- A boy from school Kim used to 'go out with'; one of her closest guy friends. His feelings for Kim haven't changed much since they 'broke up'

Marcus (Mark)- 'Hot emo guy', was the name Rose and Kim once gave him, back when he was just some kid who was a year older than them that went to their church, and Rose's school, was rather quiet, and had awesome hair. Weelll... until Kim went out with him that is.

Kristen (Kris)- Another one of Kim's close friends who goes to Rose's school. A bit of a tomboy and would rather like to avoid guys, due to her having 3 brothers, one 2 years younger than her, one a sophomore in high school, one a freshman in college who visits occasionally. Has a 'deep hatred' for a guy named Larson at her school... mwahaha.

Marsella (Ella)- Another good friend of Kim's who goes to the school of Kris, Mark, and Rose. Once a self-proclaimed 'emo without the cutting', whom still quite enjoys Hot Topic and disliking preps highly. She love writing and reading fanfiction and listening to music. (Kim and Kris introduced her to Linkin Park... once into that, you can't get out. ) Despite the fact that Kris is Ella's best friend... she is currently crushing on Larson.
