~Sunday, August 19;
After the other day's bloody and violent battle between the Morattis and the Kings, Chicago's Mayor Parker is deciding to draw attention away from organized crime in order to host a masquerade benefit gala. Along with beautiful Billie Jameson's help, Mayor Parker is hoping to raise money and support for his second campaign as mayor. Only the best of the best with deep pockets are invited. Did you make the cut?
 
I watched as Robert pulled on his slacks and walked towards his desk, taking a cigar out his case and lighting it with a match. He blew out the match and I grinned, lifting my head off of the pillow and resting it on my hand.
 
Noticing my smile he walked back over to the bed and pushed me down, kissing me passionately, and I sighed heavily as he pulled away.
 
‘Shall we do something tonight?’
 
He shook his head and pulled his shirt back on, fiddling with the collar.
 
‘I’ve got the gala.’
 
I sat up and wrapped my arms round my legs.
‘Well I could come with you.’
 
He frowned at me and walked up to the window, looking on to the street below.
 
‘Satine, you know I can’t. I have to take Rebecca.’
 
I rolled my eyes and pouted, crossing my arms.
‘Right. The wife.’
 
He checked his watch and put his jacket on, reaching for his hat.
 
‘Yes, my wife. I need to go before she gets back. Come over here and kiss me.’
 
I continued to pout but got off the bed and walked over to him.
 
He held my chin up and bent down to kiss me.
 
‘Bye baby.’
 
I sighed and threw myself down on the bed dramatically, mumbling bye into the pillow. I heard the door shut and flipped onto my back.
 
Now I had to think of something else to do, because I was definitely not invited to the gala. I didn’t have enough power or money to be allowed to attend such an event. I used to of course, and the big events were about the only thing I missed about living in England.
 
I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and head down to the Cat Scratch.
---------------------
You could hear the music coming from the joint before you even arrived, and I felt better about my decision to come out alone, and pretend I wasn’t feeling sore about Robert leaving me on my own.
 
I opened the heavy door and looked around. The bar was busy with most people laughing or dancing to the loud music. In the corner a few people looked as if they were having a hushed conversation and I decided to head towards the other side of the bar. A few heads acknowledged my presence as I brushed past a group of flappers giggling and smoking, looking as elegant as ever.
 
I ordered a scotch and attached a cigarette to the end of my holder, holding it against my lips.
 
‘Need a light?’
 
I nodded as the man next to me lit a match and then lit the end of my cigarette. I took a smoke and then a swig of my drink, before I realised he was still standing next to me.
 
I smiled sweetly at him,
‘Thank you so much.’
 
‘Anytime doll. I’m Theo.’
 
I nodded at him with the same sickly smile on my face, silently willing him to leave me alone. For once in my life I wasn’t in the mood for attention. When he realised that the nod was my reply he continued,

‘What’s a pretty girl like you doing out alone? You know it’s not safe, right?’
 
I laughed and took another sip of scotch,
 
‘I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, thank you.’
 
He snorted,
 
‘Right.’
 
I frowned, suddenly insulted by his tone, and finished the rest of my drink. Grabbing my bag I turned to him,
 
‘Well thank you for whatever this was, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to excuse myself.’
 
I faced towards the door and began walking away,
‘But I didn’t catch your name.’
 
I rolled my eyes and smiled at him again before turning on my heel and rushing towards the door,
 
‘That’s because I didn’t give you it.’

Sunday August 19: Family brunch today at the Trump Hotel. Although it may be a little old fashioned, everyone will be there! It is a special get together for the exclusive members of New York.
 

My mother shouted up to me telling me to hurry up. I rolled my eyes and pulled my shoes on, rushing down the stairs because I knew we were late.
 
My jacket was in my hand and I began to put it on and the bottom of the stairs. My mother looked at me in disgust,
 
'Oh, Florence, please don't put that old thing on.'
 
I rolled my eyes again,
 
'We're only going to a stupid brunch. No one will care.'
 
My mother gasped and shook her head,
 
'I will never understand you Florence. Why do you constantly try to make us look bad?'
 
I frowned and walked out of the door. Something had happened between us, and we were no longer getting on as well as usual. I didn't know whether it was me or her, but I liked to pretend it was all down to her.
 
We arrived at the brunch and I headed for our table whilst my parents accepted champagne and mingled with the other guests. I noticed Audrey looking about as miserable as I did and I sighed and looked around for someone else to talk to.
 
I saw Harlow looking over and she waved. I waved back but got up and headed for the bathroom. I was so not in the mood to have my outfit criticised by her, my mother had already done enough of that.
 
I stood in front of the mirror and the door swung open. Meredith and Camilla entered and stood in front of the mirrors next to me. Camilla messed with her hair, which already looked fine, and pouted at her reflection.
 
I reapplied my lipstick and smacked my lips together.
 
'Nice colour.' Meredith said next to me, a slight smile on her lips.
 
'Thanks.' I smiled back and picked up my bag, leaving the girls bathrooms.
 
I grinned when I saw my parents were talking to my fathers business partner, and walked over to them.
 
They looked towards me as I approached them and I stuck out my hand,
 
'Mr Robson, lovely to see you again.'
 
He smiled at me and shook my hand,
 
'And you Florence.'
 
I nodded and excused myself again, looking at the key card that had been pressed in my hand. I grinned again and put the key card into my bag, ready to use after this boring brunch was over with.

Name: satine jacobie
Age: 20
Occupation: socialite
Likes: Chicago, money, jazz, parties, cigarettes, flapper dresses, having fun, being young, being pretty, dancing, clothes, flirting
Dislikes: boring people, conversations about books and art, whiskey, being called naïve, being told what to do, her lover’s wife, her family
Bio: satine is originally from England, and was born into a line of English nobility. However, she hated what was expected of her from a young age and rebelled as much as possible. She planned her escape from her family for four years, and as soon as she was eighteen, she took as much money as she could find and high tailed it to the land of dreams. Once she arrived in Chicago she knew there was no going back, as she instantly fell in love with the glamorous flapper girls, secretive speakeasies and men with deep pockets. She has no contact with her family anymore and has begun an affair with one of chicago’s most prominent millionaires. She doesn’t love him, but he keeps her in nice things and allows her to live the lifestyle she desires. She’s making a name for herself among the Chicago social scene, but finds it hard to have conversations with many of the older party goers, since she finds most things that don’t involve clothes and beauty tiresome. She’s still a kid really, but she’s going to have to grow up fast to survive the streets of Chicago, which are fast becoming more dangerous than she could ever imagine.

Wednesday August 8: the Brooks family is hosting their annual fundraiser at the metropolitan tonight. Dress to impress, and bring your flasks cause tonight will not be a night you want to remember.
 
I teetered down our grand stairwell to where my family were waiting. My mother looked up as I reached the bottom and clasped her hands, her face forming a smile.
 
'Oh, Florence, you look so adorable.'
 
I rolled my eyes at her,
 
'Adorable wasn't exactly the look I was going for.'
 
Her eyes crinkled as she smiled at me again. Why was she smiling so much today?
 
'Fine, very sophisticated then.'
 
I smiled back at her and pulled my phone out of my bag, as my father called for my brother.
 
There was a text from Jacob telling me to bring alcohol as the fundraiser was pretty lame and that I should hurry up because his family was killing him. I replied telling him we were just leaving and we'd see him soon.
 
We walked into the met, past the various photographers and reporters looking for anything scandalous.
 
As soon as we walked through the door Nate walked off to find his friends and I walked off to where Jacob was standing awkwardly, before our parents could tell us we had to stay together and mingle.
 
Jacob smiled at me as I approached him, saying hello to all the people I was passing.
 
'I bought you a present.'
I handed him the bottle of clear liquid and he poured some into his glass, quickly and making sure no one else saw.
 
I didn't care who saw though and took to large gulps straight from the bottom, feeling the liquid go down my throat and heat everything up on it's way.
 
Jacob laughed as I licked my lips,
'Careful Flo. You don't want to peak too soon.'
 
I rolled my eyes at him and continued to sip more alcohol. I'd been to enough of these things to know that they weren't fun unless your brain felt a bit fuzzy.
 
They announced that food was about to be served so, reluctantly, I headed back over to where my family were seated.
 
I sat down heavily and realised that I was swaying noticeably. Perhaps I'd drank a bit more than I originally thought. Before I had a chance to hide it, my father was looking over at me with a frown on his face.
 
'Florence, go outside.'
 
I raised my eyebrows at him,
'What? But I haven't eaten.'
 
'You're drunk and embarrassing us. Leave.'
 
Scowling I pushed my chair out harshly and grabbed my bag. Signalling to Jacob to follow me, I saw him excuse himself out of the corner of my eye.
 
I stood outside and lit a cigarette whilst I waited for Jacob to join me.
 
'What happened?'
 
I took a long drag on my cigarette,
'My dad told me to leave because I was drunk.'
 
Jacob laughed as I continued to smoke with a frown on my face. I through my cigarette end on the floor and grabbed Jacobs arm, hailing a cab.
 
'Come on. Lets go. It's boring here anyway. I wanna get drunk.'
 
I sat in the cab as we drove past the bright lights of New York city and back towards Jacob's house, to drown my sorrows.

August 8th – Slip on your sexiest bikinis and go to Halcyon beach today for some fun. There’s going to be plenty of food, booze, and sun…and once the sun goes down, there’s going to be a bonfire. Cuddle up with your sweetie or go skinny dipping with your friends – it doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you’re too drunk to remember what you did tomorrow morning ;)
 
I'd arrived fashionably late to the beach and there was already a lot of people there. A lot of them in the sea and some by the bonfire, surrounded by empty bottles. Someone I didn't know was lying on the sand passed out already and I shook my head as I stepped over them.
 
Dumping my stuff by the bonfire I took off my shirt and headed straight for the sea, striding past the scantily clad girls with their limbs wrapped around various boys. I rolled my eyes as they reminded me why I didn't drink alcohol, I liked to be in control of my emotions, even if people called me boring.
 
I dipped my toes into the water, which was surprisingly warm, and closed my eyes feeling the setting sun on my face. Until I was suddenly interrupted by my brother grabbing my arm.
 
'Maria, stop being such a girl.'
 
He pulled me further into the water. Shocked by the sudden pull my legs tripped over one another and I fell face first into the water.
 
Spluttering and trying to wipe salt water out of my eyes, I resurfaced to the sound of my brother laughing, until he saw the look on my face and began to run away from me.
 
'BENJAMIN YOU ABSOLUTE SH.IT'
 
I screamed not caring who was looking at me, chasing him through the water and back onto the beach. He was a lot faster than me and I quickly gave up, stopping to get my breath back.
 
I noticed Sterling sauntering up to me and frowned as I began to wring the water out of my hair.
 
'The wet look suits you.' He said with the smirk.
 
I scowled at him and picked up my things,
'Go away.'
 
'Maria, don't be like that.' He said as he reached out to touch my shoulder.
 
I looked down at where he was touching me and continued to frown at his hand. My heart began to beat quicker and the skin underneath his fingers goose pimpled as I looked up into his face. Oh, why did he have to be so good looking.
 
I quickly scowled again and shrugged his tanned hand off me before muttering,
'I'm just leaving.'
 
I practically ran off the beach and back towards my car, throwing my stuff in and driving away angrily.
 
Beaches were stupid anyway. And so were boys.

Decided to make a storyboard for Maria.
 
Maria - Though she's a bit prissy, Maria is a genuine, kind and caring girl who likes to think she's a lady. Although she does enjoy the odd break. She's also very accident prone, so tries to keep herself out of trouble.
 
FAMILY
 
Camille Bonfamille - Charlize Theron
A french socialite who gave up her lifestyle as soon as her three children were born. she's kind and caring but moved back to france after her marriage to their father ended and now lives with their step dad. Maria loves her mother and enjoys the short time they have together when she visits.
 
Thomas Casey - Jude Law
Maria's stepfather who feels more like her real father now. She has no contact with her real father so he's the main father figure in her life. he's a hot shot american lawyer who now lives in france with their mother.
 
Benjamin Bonfamille - marlon teixeira
One of Maria's triplets. He's more quiet and timid than Theodore, but equally as mischievous. All of the triplets get along well and are all very similar in their mannerisms. Benjamin is an intern at Halycon law.
 
Theodore Bonfamille - Max Motta
Theo is the most laid-back and easygoing of the triplets who tends to live life as it comes. He's currently working as a lifeguard, unsure of what his life aims are, and flirting with all the girls in tiny bikinis.
 
LOVE INTEREST
Sterling Holloway - Beau Mirchoff
Sterling is very loyal and friendly. He's friends with the majority of the male population of Halcyon and very easygoing. He's worked his way into Maria's life, much to her despair as she's finding him very attractive.

+ bio; Flo’s family are from old money. Very old money. She’s been rich for as long as she can remember but that doesn’t mean she’s been bought up as a snobby rich kid. She’s spoiled but that’s common practice for all the kids on the upper eastside. She’s always found it easy to get along with people, because she’s charismatic and people find it easy to confide in her. This means that Flo is keeping a lot of secrets, and people are beginning to worry that the nice girl act is just that, an act, and that maybe she’s just saving all these secrets for when she really needs them. What they don’t know is that she’s actually keeping a few family secrets of her own that are just waiting to get out.

+ story;
Pulling on my heels, I ran a hand through my hair as I searched my bedroom for my iphone.
‘Where the hell are you?’ I muttered under my breath as I threw my pillows off my bed, and looked around my room bemused as I still couldn’t find my phone.
 
Paris, my white kitten, meowed as she jumped off the bed, leaving my phone covered in cat hair from where she’d just been sleeping.
 
I sighed, picked up my phone and ran downstairs to where my brother was waiting. I was late for school again, and I’d consequently made my brother late.
 
‘Finally. If I have to stay after school I’m going to be so pi.ssed.’
 
‘Oh shut UP, Nate.’ I yelled as he marched out of the door to the car.
 
I checked my phone as we sat down for the ten minute ride to school. There was a message from my ex, begging me to take him back another time. I rolled my eyes as I read through all the usual apologies and statements about how much he loved me and needed me in his life. I was surprised he hadn’t stood outside my window singing love songs yet.
 
I deleted the message and texted Jacob letting him know I was running late and I’d just have to see him at lunch.
 
Just as I was about to put my phone back in my bag, it vibrated again bringing up a message from an unsaved number. But I knew exactly who it was and a smile crept across my face as I read quickly through the message.
 
‘What are you smiling at?’
 
My face returned to neutral and I ignored the comment from my brother as he smirked at me.
Replying quickly I deleted the message. No one needed to know who I was texting but me. And no one else could know.
