Apricity [a-PRIS-i-tee]: The warmth of the sun in winter Briar Elizabeth Maddox Became a social outcast over the summer and now her used-to-be friends treat her no better than the dirt under their shoes. But no matter what she's been through, she's still our sunshine girl, always treating life with a positive attitude. Roman Dean Castro Well... he's definitely got an attitude.
