THE SIMPLE FACTS surrounding boston,
huh? we are literate website ranging from intermediate to advanced writers. 600 words is the minimum. what? yes, this is a high school website and we only accept students that attend the high school. but, most of the role-playing is done outside of the school and more in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. the school just provides a nice, familiar setting so that we can have a similar age range in the characters. where? this role-play takes place in the city of Boston, Massachusetts and surrounding neighborhoods. all of the areas listed are real places in the city of Boston. why not? why did we not choose hollywood, new york, chicago or miami? because even though our characters may be pretty & rich, but we try to keep them from being too much like the extremely beautiful, moral deprived, stereotypical kids over in those regions. keep in mind, they are just in high school.

how old? because this is high school, here is a list of typical ages:
we will, however, make exceptions for students who are advanced, or who were held back a grade or two. pm staff for permission. times? school starts at 7:30 AM. each class is forty-five minutes long, and there are five minutes between classes. this means that school gets out at 3:00 PM. GPA? grade-point average. it is a measure of how a character is doing in school. For regular classes, it is A- 4.0, B- 3.0, C- 2.0, D- 1.0 F- 0.0. There is also a weighted scale for AP classes. A- 5.0, B- 4.0, C- 3.0, D- 2.0, F- 1.0. Highest possible without AP classes is 4.0, highest with a mixture of AP and normal classes is 4.5, and highest possible with all available AP classes is 5.0.
