L'accueil chaleureux qu'elle avait reçu de ses amis était encore quelque chose que Penny n'avait pas l'habitude de recevoir. Ses lèvres tiraient juste dans un sourire quand elle a été tirée dans un câlin, de Ronnie, bien sûr. Elle sentit ses joues se réchauffer à l'étreinte. Ce n'est pas le fait que c'est Ronnie qui l'embrassait - bien qu'il soit celui du groupe auquel elle était peut-être la plus attirée - que ce sont les signes flagrants d'affection qu'elle n'avait pas l'habitude de faire, qui la rendaient un peu mal à l'aise. Mais elle ne se plaignait pas.
Son sourire ne s'élargit que lorsque Brandon entre en vue - son professeur et peut-être son ami le plus proche. Elle a ouvert la bouche pour dire quelque chose, peut-être un salut chaleureux ou un peu de taquinage, mais a été interrompue par Damar presque écraser le gars dans un câlin. Penny a regardé l'échange pendant une seconde, un sourcil astucieusement levé, avant de glisser les yeux vers une travailleuse derrière elle, offrant de prendre ses bagages. Meurtre doux merci, elle l'a laissé prendre ses bagages, presque soupirer en soulageant sans ce duffel ridiculement lourd qui la pesait. Elle s'est retournée juste à temps pour que ses yeux attrapent Eva en s'éloignant, et elle a laissé ses lèvres se taper dans l'amusement. Les choses allaient devenir excitantes.
Cependant, son attention fut bientôt distrait avec l'entrée de Jocelyn. Elle avait l'air magnifique, comme toujours, et là où Penny aurait été jalouse de la fille, elle ne sentait rien d'autre qu'une affection amicale. Mais c'est maintenant qu'elle s'est levée et a laissé le groupe socialiser sans elle, offrant son apport chaque fois que cela était nécessaire, mais autrement rester tranquille. Elle était heureuse d'être ici pour sûr - d'une part, cela la garderait hors des ennuis pour l'été, et de l'autre, elle était avec les quelques personnes dont elle se souciait en fait - mais cette perspective n'a pas réglé le sentiment d'embarras qu'elle ressentait. C'était probablement juste le fait qu'elle venait d'arriver - les choses allaient venir tôt ou tard.
Et juste à cette pensée, une commotion semblait se déclencher. Amelia pleurait, Ronnie se déshabillait, Damar était en chasse pour le coupable, Alex criait la tête, et Lance venait d'arriver. Tout ce que Penny pouvait faire, c'était rouler ses yeux. Parler d'une réaction exagérée.
Alors que les garçons ont commencé à crier pour Eva, Penny a pris la décision d'intervenir. En prenant les étapes deux à la fois, elle a fait son chemin pour se tenir près d'Eva. Elle soupçonnait qu'elle était en fait la coupable, mais sûrement ce n'était qu'une blague?
"Il n'y a pas besoin de mettre tes planches dans une torsion, Alex." Penny a croisé les bras, gardant son ton plat et calme, son accent apaisant, comme d'habitude. Elle a aussi élevé un front sceptique à Damar, qui était aussi déraisonnablement en colère, mais pas aussi furieuse qu'Alex semblait l'être. Évidemment, c'était lui qui pouvait être raisonné.
"Il n'y a pas lieu de l'accuser d'agir coupable, Marcus. C'est probablement juste un malentendu." Son ton est ensuite passé à un autre sur le côté agaçant et indifférent des choses, parce qu'elle savait à peu près pour un fait que ce n'était pas juste un malentendu. "En outre, même si elle les a pris, ce n'est pas grave. Ce ne sont que des vêtements." 
La vérité était que si elle devait rester ici pour l'été, Amelia aurait besoin de se lever un peu - surtout aux mains d'Eva et Penny. Penny n'avait pas de patience pour les gens agités, et peu importe combien elle s'intéressait à Amelia, elle n'allait pas supporter ses pleurs pendant 100 jours. Elle était insensible, elle s'est rendu compte, mais c'était la vraie vie. D'ailleurs, personne ne faisait ça pour la contrarier, mais comment d'autre s'amuseraient-ils?
Name: Penelope Tristan, aka Penny
Age: 18 years old
Appearance: Tall, slender and graceful - Penny stands at roughly 5'7" and weighs around about 120 pounds. She has smooth, porcelain skin that tans well when she's out in the sun. She's subject to a few blemishes every now and again - who isn't? - but her complexion is otherwise flawless. Her hair falls to her mid-back and is light brown in colour, the sun giving it natural highlights to even appear blonde in some lights. Her locks are naturally straight, although hold a curl well and tend to be a frizzy mess when she gets up in the morning.
Penny's features are soft; with sparkling hazel eyes and full pouting lips. She has prominent cheekbones and a slender nose, however she despises the fact that she has such a strong jawline. Her eyebrows are plucked to perfection, with a low arch that softens her prominent bone structure. She wears minimal makeup, but loves a good cat-eye every now and again. It is rare that she doesn't have at least a hint of a knowing smirk present on her face, and she has managed to perfect the art of skeptically raising one eyebrow. She still has the scar on the left side of her nose from where it used to be pierced, accompanied by her septum, ears and belly button actually being pierced. She has no tattoos for the moment, but is trying to persuade her mother into letting her get a couple.
Her sense of fashion has the potential to be very flattering indeed, however she prefers to stick to the comfy side of clothes. Her style can vary from little summer dresses to flannel shirts and biker boots - it really just depends on her mood. Something that she's always wanted is her own signature style, like how Jocelyn always looks ready for a party, and Elizabeth has her pink hair; but she's never quite managed to find it. For now, she's sticking to the clothes she knows suit her well and are comfortable to wear.
Personality: 
Penny's personality is often somewhat surprising to those she meets. From her good looks, it would be easy to assume that she's a sweetheart with a pretty smile. She is, in some aspects, a sweetheart; but not your typical girly, giggly bundle of joy. Instead, it has to be said that Penny is one tough girl. She has a dry, sarcastic sense of humour that is paired with her keen intellect and a knowing smile. She is the brutally honest type - and she will not twist anything to make it seem better or worse. If you want to know the facts about something, Penny's the girl you look for. Many people fail to see past the sarcastic remarks and unfiltered opinions, however, and Penny finds herself referred to as the 'ice queen' in school.
Penelope isn't all smirks and bitchy comments, though, and has a distinct soft side too. Dig deep enough and you'll discover an incredibly loyal, warm soul that is, in fact, very self-conscious and cares a lot more than she may put on. She will go to some extent in order to please those she cares about, often demonstrating reckless stunts to impress and surprise. It's difficult to gain access to this more vulnerable aspect of her, but most will say it is worth the wait. She strives to make others happy, and ensure that they are having the best time possible.
Penny is attractive in many senses, yet often fails to see it. She understands and flaunts the fact that she is pretty, but often doubts her own character. In her shoes, you will find that she overthinks almost everything to the point of anxiety, but this is something that only a rare few know about her. She also misses her home a lot more than she gives away, too. Despite the fact that she adores everyone she'll be spending the summer with, there will always be a part of her that yearns for her true home. It is these weaknesses that cause her to push people away - so be wary if you want to be her friend, or even something more. She's a tricky one.
Backstory:
Penny's childhood was one out of a fairytale. She grew up in Adelaide, Australia and was brought up by her mother and father alongside her older brother, Brodie. It was the perfect life full of days at the beach and barbecues at Christmas, and they were brought up in a somewhat strict Catholic family. On Penny's twelfth birthday, and when Brodie had just turned seventeen, Brodie moved out. At the time, Penny was told it was no big deal, and that he'd be back soon, but after two years of little-to-no contact with Brodie, 14 year old Penny took matters into her own hands. Scraping up the last of her savings, she booked a one-way ticket to North Carolina, where her brother had reportedly moved to, and left her beloved Australia without a goodbye to her parents.
It wasn't until she arrived in Elizabeth City and reunited with Brodie that she realised he hadn't just left for no reason. Their parents, upon finding out that Brodie was planning to marry a girl from a feuding family, kicked him out of the house with just enough money for a flight out of the country. It hadn't taken long for this fiancee to break up with him, but he managed to get himself a decent job and flat in North Carloina. It was upon hearing this that Penny decided to stay with her brother in Elizabeth City, giving her parents nothing more than a quick goodbye phonecall and a Christmas card once a year.
She found little problems with fitting into her new school, despite her giveaway accent and religious background, and made fast friends with a variety of people around the school - some of which might be because of the good looks of her brother, and others due to her superior persona. This included a variety of boyfriends, and her losing her V-card relatively early. Penny also managed to pick up an array of bad habits, including smoking and drinking, and developed a reputation for being a party animal. She acted like she was better than everyone else, so they all believed it. After meeting her new friends, the ones she'll be spending the summer with, she toned down the better than thou act and settled into the sexy, sarcastic girl she is now. She's trying to give up smoking, as well as open up a little more, but it'll take a lot of work.
Future Plans:
Penny as pretty much no idea what to do with her future - perhaps modelling or swimming coaching now that she works as a lifeguard, but one thing is for sure - she wants to visit Australia at least one more time.
