Nikhoulas "Niko" Varnem loved the outdoors, and going other places. So that's what he suggested. Him and his friends go somewhere. Very far away. (Also drove the first car)
Cameron "Cam" Varnem loved her brother dearly, but sometimes his suggestions were awful. She hated the outdoors and everything to do with it, so she stayed inside a lot. So when the trip was mentioned, she freaked. A beach? That's outdoors with a bunch of weird ocean animals.
Andrew "Andy" Sefflis loved his sister and always teased Niko about how they look alike. So he was all in for the trip to the beach. He only had one tiny problem. It was in Florida, a good 7 states over from where they all lived.
Melissa "Mel" Sefflis. She bugged her brother and convinced him to go on the trip and help out with necessities. She also spread word to Lindsay and Cam, because Niko didn't tell his sister about it. Mel also called shotgun on the first car.
Lindsay "Linds" Ramsay brought the makeup. It was all for Mel though. She also has a secret. She likes Niko, not as a friend.
Kaitlyn "Kaito" Marvens took up most of the back seat with a bookbag full of manga and different types of vocaloid games. She even got nicknamed after her favorite vocaloid singer, Kaito. She called shotgun in second car.
Liam Smith took pride of his normalcy. He was the straight, white dude of the group. The guy who balanced it. Well, that was before Jack became the second. He drives the second car.
Jack Watsons joined the group late. He was scorned by some, but Niko assured his place in the group of friends. He was kind and logical, so when the storm hit, he was the one to calm everyone.
How will the roadtrip and the beach stay turn out after a storm brews on the beach?
