The amazing banner was made by Kydila. Great, isn't it?

The prestigious St Colette's Finishing School is in the rural countryside of England, in an idyllic old castle and vast grounds, complete with maze. Do you have what it takes? Can you survive ya year at St Colette's Finishing School, rise to the top? It's time to Sink or swim.
The reason that places are limited is so that it doesn't get too confusing.
Weekly activities.

If you want to be one of the additional/original characters, then write a small paragraph with your application form 
The uniform is blue, with a white shirt/top
Characters up for grabs:
1 - Emilieelectric
She starts the trends, she sets the scene. She's best friends with the sucessful Neriah and together they rule the school. For a long time she has been Queen Bee, but is that about to change?
2 - Miss B
She's stuck up and used to being in charge, but she is being lorded over by Emilie and Neriah. How long will she stand by and watch before she decides that it's her turn to rule the school?
3 - Saphire99
She's dainty and lives in vintage. If Stepford existed, she'd be at home there. From a troubled family, St Colette's has become her home and finally, free of distractions, she is starting to settle. She's set to come out on top this year, but could the new boys college next door be the biggest distraction yet?
4 - Lalabuggie
She's the bright star, the belle of the ball. She's set to go places. She's spoiled and sassy and everyone on the staff is on her side. She's good at sports, a winner, and she's getting offers from model agencies left right and centre.
5 - Thisiscake
She's trouble. She's on her last chance at St Colette's, one more strike and she's out. She can't go home to that evil step-mother, bent on destroying her life, but will she behave for long enough to stay at St Colette's until the end of term?
6 - Emilily
She's the new girl, the one with no identity. Will she grow in to her own or be drowned by the personalities at St Colettes Finishing School? She's here to make a new start and no one knows her past.
7 - Isabella-Alice
She is the American transfer student and she's here to cause trouble and get to the top. She's not one for this school, isn't a fan of Tea Dances and sewing hems and etiquette. How will she cope when she's thrust in to the middle of this quintessentially English finishing school?
8 - SexyEbb
Her family is very conservative and for all of her life she has lived under their collective shadow. Now she's at St Colette's Finishing School and it's her chance to shine. But will she get what she ultimately wants at the end of her stay, or will she follow in her mother's footsteps?
9 - Eve Kelly

Username:Eve2Kelly and in the roleplay her name will be Eve Kelly 
Character:Character 9, my own character
She is clearly the teachers' pets, kissing up to them without them even realising. Seems to be the school gossip (and takes pictures of people too), and if you tell someone a secret, she will somehow find out within a week. She is always smiling, and is nice to everyone, although some people feel that she doesn't mean a single thing that she says. Nobody really knows what is going on through her mind, despite her being friendly to everyone she meets.

Hello
just felt like trying out for this.
Form
Username: Emilily
Character: 6
Dressed ready for her first day Emilily studied her uniform, 'ick' she thought but it'd do. She doesn't look horrible, doesn't look brilliant. She has a plan of attack (so the saying goes) try hard in lessons, make some friends, don't get in too much trouble. Fingers crossed ...
I hope that was ok

Read on for the first activity.
"Girls. Welcome to St Colette's. I'm the Head Girl and I'll make your life hell if you annoy me. You can call me Corazie. There are a few rules that I'm supposed to tell you, but I'll just tell you the basics and let you figure out the rest on your own. God forbid, you could actually read the student handbook.
First off, and I see some of you already have it, your uniform is dark blue. Just the skirt needs to be dark blue really, a white top too. I'm all dressed up for the first day, and I'll be all dressed up next week too, when term starts. It starts to relax after that, but keep the skirt and shirt on."
I looked around at the rag tag of girls. This year was going to be fun.
"There's a new boys college next door, so I expect you to play nice. Just be back for six in the morning as that's when the demon headmistress does her rounds. That's all really. come see me privately if you want the handbook."
I turned and took a few steps towards the imposing building. The familiar thick walls and ancient wooden windows comforted me. I was home.
"Oh, yeah," I stopped and turned back round. "Three to a room, pick your room mates. You'll be with them all year. And come down to dinner dressed nicely. We make an event of the first nights back before the official start of term and lesson. Meet in the central courtyard and I'll show you to the refectory."

"But i dont want to share a room" Isi sulked and contemplated calling her father but instead she decided to man up about it "fine ill share with anyone as long as they don't touch my stuff. Can i share with emily and tic i think wed get on well.
my outfit for tonights dinner.
Offline

While the Head Girl was talking, Eve had been secretly taking pictures of the other girls around her. She groaned when she heard that uniforms consisted of blue skirts. The poor girl looked awful in blue. She would have to talk that head mistress and make her bend the rules a bit for her.
So many beautiful girls.....which ones should she choose as dormmates? Which ones to taint?
Eve's version of the uniform

i looked up from my blackberry to see a young girl "Hi my names Isabella-Alice but you can call me Isi. I like your earings they are very gold." I went to shake her hand but before i could i was momentarily blinded by a flash of light from what looked like a camera.
Offline

Eve chuckled when the blonde girl named Isi squirmed at her camera's flash. What a cute girl.
"I like these earrings too," she replied. "My name is Eve."
She leaned forward and stared into Isi's eyes....How interesting, they were ice blue. They looked like they were chipped off of a diamond.
Eve lifted up her camera and took a snap again. "For future references, is all," she declared sweetly.

"great" isi turned and walked towards the door "so are we actually going to do anything or are we just standing round starting into space" she turns towards the head girl "so ill share rooms with eve i suppose" she gave a sweet smile and turned back to her blackberry.
Offline

I looked at Isabella. "That's fine. You just need one more person. Why don't you go and decorate your room? There aren't any sheets on your bed, you'll have to do that yourself. I suggest you do too, as the first dinner always lasts for hours. Best to get unpacked first."
I'd reminded myself that I too had to unpack.
"I get a room to myself. Tea a biscuits at five if any one is interested. I should have unpacked by then."
I turned and walked away, finally, through the great archway to the inner courtyard with it's apple trees and short green grass.
Offline

Eve dropped her stuff in the dorm she was going to be staying for the rest of the school year. It was all bright, with fuchsia walls and an orange floorboard.
Oh my lord, she thought to herself. The two colours I hate the most.
But she smiled at Isi and said, "Oh, no it's perfectly fine. But I do hope I have a place in all of this."
Offline

"Oh dont worry ill keep it to my side of the room" Isi smiled sweetly "Oh this is going to be so much fun, back in america i was home schooled so don't mind me if i look a little baffled at times"

I walked in to my new room. For the past two years, I had shared with to other girls and as I glanced around at the old fashioned wall paper and the cold wooden floor, I missed the comfort of my old friends. They had both left.
I had a lot of work to do and I slid my phone open, sending a text to the porter. In less than ten minutes he was outside my door with my boxes and cases and I thanked him. He winked at me before he left: we weren't supposed to use our mobile phones in the school.
I started pulling things out of my boxes and cases, piling everything up on the floor. I knew it would have been easier to do it methodically, but this was tradition. I made my bed and stacked my books, pulled a squat coffee table out of the wardrobe and exchanged it for my clothes. I pulled out sweets and bottles of iced tea and diet coke and lemonade and set them on the table. I hauled the old TV out from under the bed and put in in the middle of the desk.
It took a few hours, but I think my room looks pretty good. It certainly isn't sparse. Now all I have to do is wait for any new students to come by for tea and biscuits, and perhaps the student handbook. I pulled out my copy of Wicked by Sara Shepard and settled on my bed to read while I waited.

Eve had managed to locate her bed in the room, and she rolled out her sheets on it.
After taking a picture of the room and putting all of her clothes in her part of the closet, Eve decided to go visit the Headgirl's room, where they were apparently going to stop for tea.
Offline

The contrast in Isi and eves room was inevitable the outburst of colour was fighting against the soft white and blue tones on eves side if only we knew what our other room mate would do to her bed she got up and followed eve to the head girls room shed never had afternoon tea before.
Offline

"Don't worry," Eve smiled at Isi. "Afternoon tea isn't anything too special. It's like drinking pop and eating chips. Or, is that what you do back there in America? Well anyway, tea and biscuits are something like that, only much healthier. I personally prefer Earl Grey tea."
Offline

"Marchellos?" Eve repeated. "Erm....I dunno what that is. But I guess it's something like that.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to England in a month or so," Eve assured Isi. "It's alot like America, other than the accent and the way we drive."
