The Random Adventures of Random Hill High School Preview!

Meet David Ramirez

David Ramirez is a Junior at Random Hill High School, located in the fine town of Random Hill.  As a Random Hill High Rhino, David is expected to abide by the school's motto of "Rhino Pride.  Rhino Strength.  Rhino Tradition."  Live most rhinos in the real world, David can be stubborn and adventurous, yet lazy and always incredibly hungry.  However, one thing that David does not lack, is imagination.  And it is this imagination that gets him in, and out, of many awkward, unusual, and sometimes "typical high school" situations.  But then again, what usually happens at Random Hill is anything but typical, and extremely...random!
There was that one time David convinced his counselor that he was allergic to the plants in his period six Math class just so he could be transferred to the Period 1 Math class that his best friend, Johnny Tran, was in.  It worked, despite there not being any plants in his period six math class.  Of course, that math class was Pre-Calculus, and David did not know much about derivatives and absolute values.  But, using sneaky methods, as well as directly copying Johnny's assignments, he was able to fool most of his classmates, and the teachers, into thinking he actually belonged in the class.
David lives with his Mom and his little sister, Esme, who is starting her Freshman year and Random Hill High School.  Growing up in a single parent home, David spent a lot of time looking over his sister while their Mom was at work, so he was a little protective of her.  But at the same time, they had a healthy rivalry, one where Esme was allowed to make mistakes, just so David could laugh and gloat (he could have easily once told her that the chilaquiles she was about to take a bite out of were steaming hot, but he wanted to see her eyes light up in shock from the heat in her mouth).
While athletic, David never really got into organized sports teams.  He played on the Novice Soccer team as a Freshman, and plans on trying out for the Varsity team this year after a one year hiatus.  But his job flipping burgers at the Bun Hut may get in the way of practices and games.
There is one thing, though, that he does have his dedicated eye on.  Melanie Rivera.  Melanie is one of those smart, beautiful girls that come once in a lifetime.  And David knows this.  Of course, being a smart girl, she finds herself more in the AP courses with Johnny, and in leadership clubs with some of the more socially forward students at the school.  David knows he will find a way to win her heart.  He just needs to have a plan.  And a big part of this plan is Johnny.

Johnny Tran lives with his parents a few miles down the road from David in the nicer part of town.  He is one of the smartest Juniors at the school, and spends his free time listening to very obscure music, as well as perfecting his skills on his guitar.  Both his parents work long hours, so the only time he really sees them is in the morning when his Dad takes him in the family Lexus to school, and in the evenings when after gets picked up from either school or David's house in a rush.  They day he bonded with David, he was trying not to look like bad during a middle school PE soccer game.  David, seeing Johnny struggle just to kick the ball straight, gave him some pointers in exchange for answers on a math test.  Since then, he has been a big part of Johnny's life, and a regular guest at the Mexican dinner table.  Johnny has his heart set on making it to a great college, as well as finally having the courage to speak to Stephanie Sanderson.  Stephanie, one year older, miles ahead in the social spectrum of high school.  A cheerleader, a constant face on the homecoming podium since her Freshman year, yet one who never let any of the attention get to her head.  Johnny once saw her reading a very obscure indie book, and from that moment on, knew she was "the one."

Junior year is about to start at Random Hill High School.  David, Johnny, and Esme are ready to take on the new experiences they will encounter this year.  Little do they know that one of them will find a time traveling cube that could only be used three times, that there is a classroom at the school that held the world's most comfortable tissue paper, that they would discover how to find a never ending sports drink bottle in the middle of a hot day, and that opening an old Dictionary from the 18th Century would lead to a new, yet very old, friend, as well as possibly a new romance.  There are the adventures these three will have.
These are the random adventures at Random Hill High School.  Coming soon!  :)

  1. That's quite a set of diverse Characters there. Seems like a fun project, just make sure to give it a clean edit next time (look at sentence 3). I love that you've incorporated Juanito Du into the story... you should also add a security guard character in the series ;)
