Jocelyn observa en silence tout ce qu'elle regarda se dérouler. Peu après le début de l'altercation, elle avait commencé à se désamorcer. Elle a entendu Brandon dire qu'il serait de retour, et ce n'était pas longtemps avant que Penny et Ronnie aillent dans la même direction; ils devaient probablement vérifier sur lui. Jocelyn a également remarqué qu'Amelia s'était faufilée pour s'habiller. Lance et Marcus avaient disparu du groupe, plus que les chances de faire nettoyer les blessures de Lance. Bien sûr, Jocelyn avait remarqué à quel point le jeune homme avait l'air dérangé quand elle l'a repéré pour la première fois à l'étage, mais a décidé de ne pas demander ce qui s'est passé. Quand Marcus réapparut, cependant, il marcha tranquillement et rapidement dans les escaliers. À l'extérieur, il avait l'air en colère, mais quand Jocelyn regardait de plus près, elle ne pouvait s'empêcher de remarquer les larmes scintillantes dans ses yeux.
Sans une seconde pensée, Jocelyn tourna sur ses talons et suivit son chemin en bas. Elle avait atteint le bas quand elle l'a vu prendre son sac, et presque instantanément a commencé à paniquer. Elle était reconnaissante quand Kai est apparu à la porte et a placé sa main contre le cadre de la porte pour qu'il ne puisse pas passer devant lui. "Ne me dites pas que vous partez!" Lyn s'est excusée alors qu'elle se précipitait vers Marcus. Elle a atteint son côté tout comme il a fini d'embrasser Kai et a enveloppé son bras autour du sien, "Nous venons d'arriver, vous ne pouvez pas aller! Tout est refroidi maintenant. Nous allons nous amuser cet été, n'est-ce pas Kai?"

▾ Name: Jocelyn Nicole Fields
▾ Nickname: "Nickie"
▾ Age: Eighteen
▾ DOB: June Second
▾ In depth Appearance: Jocelyn is a curvaceous, young black woman, standing at five feet six inches tall and weighing in at a little over one-hundred forty pounds. Her skin is beautifully brown. Her soft-curled, shoulder length hair is dense but yielding, and thick enough to lose your fingers in. Although having a head full of gorgeous hair, Jocelyn prefers to wear her hair in protective styles (braids, weaves, wigs), which allow her hair to grow quicker and healthier. There's a certain elegance in the way that Jocelyn holds herself: good posture, long confident strides and head held high. She often looks taller than her height of 5'6, especially since she's always wearing heels whenever she has the chance.
Her eyes are large and almond shaped, the brown of the irises so dark that they almost appear to be black. Her eyes are fringed with long, thick lashes. She has a short, delicate nose and perfectly arched, dark eyebrows. Her face is heart-shaped; she has high cheekbones and a pointed chin. Her lips are full and always covered with a clear lip gloss. When smiling, you can see that she has two rows of perfectly white teeth, a slight overbite present. She has helix piercings, conch piercings, tragus piercings, and lobe piercings in both of her ears. She has a septum piercing, as well. Jocelyn has three tattoos: two on her left thigh and one on the back of her neck. She plans on getting more, despite her parents' disapproval.
When it comes to her fashion sense, Jocelyn always tries her best to "dress to impress." Her wardrobe consists of affordable, yet stunning pantsuits, dresses, blouses, and a wide array of heels, boots, and sneakers. She likes to look her best everyday, and usually spends about an hour each morning making sure that there's nothing out of place. It's rare to see her in a state of disarray, as her mother raised her to believe that she should always look prepared and presentable, especially when she's the most frazzled. When it comes to jewelry, Jocelyn does not like to be flashy. At the most, she'll wear a large pair of hoop earrings and a ring on her index finger. Every now and then, Jocelyn will visit the thrift store to find clothes that she can "revamp."
▾ Ambitious ▾ Stubborn ▾ Confident ▾ Untidy ▾
▾ Personality: The very first word that pops into one's mind when thinking about Jocelyn Fields is determination, and the second, ambitious. Everyone that knows Jocelyn knows that whenever she puts her mind to something, it will get done, regardless of whatever obstacles she has to push through in order to do so. Ever since she was a little girl, she has had a vision of where she is going in life, and will do everything in her power to get there. Despite all the odds, Jocelyn has managed to maintain a solid A average throughout middle and high school. She is intelligent and very articulate, and loves having meaningful conversations and debates with others. Her confidence is shown through her powerful mannerisms. She is, more often than not, very kind and humble, and is well liked by most of her peers. She is generally friendly, unless you give her a reason not to be.
While being confident in both herself and her actions, this is often to a fault. She is very opinionated, has trouble asking for help, and hates admitting when she's wrong. When things don't go as planned or in a positive direction, she can get frustrated very easily. Jocelyn also has a bit of a "potty mouth," and uses profanity even when she isn't trying to. In addition to these shortcomings, Jocelyn is also stubborn and untidy. She has trouble keeping things neat and in order; her book bag and locker all throughout school, for example, were always complete messes. Somehow, however, she always knew exactly where her things were. Despite all of her flaws, there's no denying that Jocelyn is kind and dependable. If you ask her to meet you somewhere, she will be there; if she promises to do something, she will do it; if you ask her for help, she will do everything in her power to assist. Overall, Jocelyn is a kind soul looking to find her place in this world.
▾ Backstory: Jocelyn was born and raised in the "ghetto" slums of Brooklyn, New York. She was an only child, a product of an unexpected and unwanted teen pregnancy. Despite being deemed "not ready" to raise a kid by her family, Jocelyn's mother still brought her "bundle of joy" into this world. After just two long months of motherhood, however, Jocelyn's mother had reached her breaking point. After being forced to move into her baby father's place and fend for herself (and her newborn), her mother had much trouble affording clothes, diapers, and formula for her child. Jocelyn's father dropped out of high school and got a job, but it still wasn't enough to support all three of them. Long story short, the parents decided to put their baby girl up for adoption, and not much later, she was taken in by a beautiful Dominican couple originally from North Carolina.
Growing up, Jocelyn was always very independent and ambitious. In elementary school, she was often recognized and rewarded for her academic and social achievements. Her adoptive parents were both high school teachers, and pushed for their daughter to partake in numerous activities: piano lessons, basketball, spelling bees, volunteer work, etc. From the age of seven, Jocelyn knew that she was adopted as a baby, but had no great desire of meeting her birth parents. However, that did not stop her from figuring out who they were and digging up as much information about them as she could. She took many trips to the area at which she was born, the neighborhood not too far from her own, and even visited the high school she would have attended had the couple decided to keep her.
Before her Sophomore year, Jocelyn's daddy moved the family to a small town in North Carolina because of a job promotion; he would soon become the principal of a local high school. Not being used to living in the country, Jocelyn immediately felt out of place within the town. For a long time she missed the commotion of the city, her friends back home, and even the stray cat she used to feed on her walk to class everyday. This changed as time went on, and she began to make more friends and connections within her new school. She also had the chance to connect with family members she never even knew existed.
▾ Future Plans: After pushing through high school while consistently maintaining an A average, Jocelyn plans to attend Howard University in Washington D.C., and double major in both Psychology and Pre-Med. She plans to minor in African-American Studies so that she can get a better understanding of her history. After Med-School, Jocelyn plans on becoming a licensed Psychiatrist and working until she can open her own private practice. While paying for all of this schooling may prove to be extremely difficult, Jocelyn is confident that her future will pan out the way it's supposed to.
