Sorry for constantly bugging you!

I just really wanted to give you my character descriptions.....they're long! So sorry!

 Rachel Gold  – Rachel is the new girl at Eastwood High who is a fantastic writer. She has a very witty personality and considers writing her passion but also has a talent in singing. When she was 6 years old, her mom posted a video of her singing in her room and she became an overnight internet sensation! But even though she liked to sing, Rachel never wanted to be a singer and since then has completely turned away from it. Now she has transformed herself into an award winning writer. When she arrives at her new school, Rachel is overwhelmed by the amount of school spirit that everyone has. So overwhelmed that she decides to do something new and join the cheerleading team. She makes it but the jealous head cheerleader, Skylar, is bit a spectacle of Rachel. So, as her first duty as cheerleader, she is told to go steal Westwood High’s 1960 trophy. Rachel accepts the challenge but she ends up being seen Ricky Francis, Westwood High’s popular jock, while attempting to steal it, but he does not rat her out. But soon they get caught by Westwood’s drama teacher, Ms. Bailey. Ms. Bailey makes Rachel sing, recognizing her from her video, and Rachel unwillingly does so. Ms. Bailey forces Rachel to star in the school’s spring musical, alongside Ricky, or she will rat them both out. Rachel and Ricky have no choice but to accept. To keep them from knowing she is an Eastwood student, she tells Ricky and everyone else involved in the production that she is a homeschooled student. Ricky and Rachel seem to clique instantly and develop strong feelings for each other. But soon, when Ricky and the cheerleaders find out Rachel’s little tale, she becomes one of the most hated girls in school for “betraying Eastwood” and Ricky refuses to talk to her since she goes to Eastwood. She soon is kicked off the cheerleading team. Finally, Rachel decides that enough is enough and using her awesome writing skills, she finds a way to bring the two schools back together once and for all so she can loose her reputation as “most hated girl in school” and so she can win back the heart of Ricky.

 Ricky Francis  – Ricky Francis is Westwood’s star basketball player. Last season, during the championship game against Eastwood High, Ricky was pushed down on the ground by an Eastwood player, causing a serious leg injury. Ricky could not play basketball all summer, missing a once in a lifetime chance to go to a major basketball camp. Ever since then, he has resented Eastwood. Now he’s back and ready to play for the Westwood Warriors. But when Ms. Bailey catches him singing in the halls, she has him audition for the school pay, which he opposes to. But when he is seen with Rachel “stealing” Westwood’s 1960 trophy, Ms. Bailey blackmails the two of them into starring in the school’s play. Ricky does and as time goes on, he grows to have feelings for Rachel. He happily goes to every rehearsal just to see her, even if it means skipping basketball practice. But, when he soon finds out she is an Eastwood student, he’s reminded of that awful day and wants nothing to do with Rachel. And after that, he prepares even harder for the game. But will Rachel be able to win him back when she reveals the truth behind Eastwood and Westwood’s shocking past?

 Skylar Venice  – Skylar Venice is the most popular girl in school. Not only is she dating jockie hottie, Jess Nightland, but she is the head cheerleader of the cheerleading squad at Eastwood High. When Rachel comes to Eastwood and tries out for the squad, Skylar can’t help but let her in. Skylar befriends Rachel but truly she is jealous of her. To test her limits, she sends her on a mission to steal Westwood’s 1960 trophy. It’s no surprise to Skylar when Rachel comes back with nothing but what does shock her is Rachel’s constant confident attitude even after she failed. And soon Skylar notices how Rachel misses practices often and suspects she is up to something. Skylar does a little snooping and soon discovers Rachel’s singing past and finds out that Rachel is starring in Westwood’s school musical. Excited to take her down, Skylar exposes Rachel’s secret, making her the most hated girl in school. But Rachel still has some tricks up her sleeves. Has Skylar finally met her match?

 Jess Nightland  – Jess Nightland is Eastwood High’s most popular jock. He plays almost every sport from soccer to basketball to football. He is Skylar’s boyfriend. Even though Jess isn’t the smartest of the bunch, he is very sweet towards everyone but when it’s time to play, he plays hard.
