Holiday pleasures

June, Summer 2011, Brian Chew is 50, Jamie Lopez is 56, AJ is 18 and Aaron and Adrian are 6.





"So, when we go on vacation you and mommy will be getting married?" Aaron asked, looking up as his day.

Getting it done

It's late May, Spring 2011. This is a combined post. I had more pics of my uni. students, but for some reason the camera only took what I have posted. *figures*
(graduation/prom)



University of Riverdale


Richard was down in the dumps returning to campus from spring break. And Jasmine seized the opportunity and took full advantage. She had been waiting for her moment since he arrived on campus.

Can't fight the feeling

May, Spring 2011, to see the list of students look here!
(elementary/high school post)


Riverdale Elementary School



Bri Burrego hangs out on the monkey bars before school start, scanning the play yard. She is so over this place. She's almost 12, has started her first growth spurt and can't wait to leave these little kids behind for greener pastures (ie. Riverdale Jr./Sr. High School).

But until next month she is still a sixth grader here at school. Which completely blows!



"My mom says that marriage is a sacred institution. And when you're married that's when you get to have sex!" Anan shares with the table. "And, since I am the oldest out of all of us, I will be getting married first!"



Bri goes on and on about how grown she is now, how over this school she is. That being a pre teen is super awesome. That everyone here wishes that they were her and super awesome too. She even has to wear a training bra now!



Nick just wishes that she would shut up. And what in the world is a training bra? He gets a mental image of a bra with training wheels. He stops himself from giggling and shoves more salad into his mouth. That way he doesn't have to respond to Bri.



"Well, I'm never getting married." Aaron offers. "So I won't have to worry about anything that comes with having a wife!"

Anan only glares at him then rolls her eyes. One day he'll see that they belong together. Or maybe not, she is older than him. But for the time being she can imagine them getting married.

Riverdale Junior Senior High School

It's the middle of May, prom and graduation is almost here. And some students like Lilly Sanchez hurry to put the final touches on last minute school assignments. Extra credit is never a bad thing!

And other students sit pouting at their monitor in the computer lab. Mary just found out that her boyfriend, Marchon Cunningham, won't be able to make it to her prom. Which bits! Now she'll have to dig up a date to prom and, she has to wait until Marchon's prom to be with him.

She slumps back in her chair with a sigh. This long distance thing sucks!



Cameron has just realized that the basket balls she uses during gym are the same sweaty balls that the basket ball team plays with. She screams at all the nasty body sweat that has dripped on it and, lets the ball bounce away from her.

"Gross much!" She yells before running for the closest bathroom to wash her hands.



Suni pays her no attention, Cameron is a drama queen, and over reacts to the smallest thing. Suni's mind is focused on the hoops she's trying to shoot. She's doing anything and everything that she can to keep her mind off of what happened last month.

She and AJ have only spoken briefly since then. She's not sure what she wants to do. She loves him, and she wants to be with him, but, if he can't fess up to the wrong he has committed, is there anything to save between them?



The bell rings and she exits the gym to head to the locker rooms when she bumps into the least person she wants to see.

Suni's eyes narrow as she passes Lilly. It's all that ho's fault. If it wasn't for her then AJ never would have strayed away from Suni.

In truth, that was her biggest fear. That AJ would cheat on her or leave her for someone older, some one his age. Someone who would get naked with him. And her fear did come true. But it wasn't her fault that she wasn't ready. If he had truly loved her like he said he had then this never would have happened.



And it just rubs her the wrong way how Lilly acts as though she doesn't even exist. She didn't even blink towards her.

"Slut." Suni mumbles as she passes Lilly.

"Bitch." Lilly fires back. She rolls her eyes. She is so over this place. She can't wait until graduation.



The bathroom isn't much of a haven either. Lilly runs into Cameron Smith. She's been trying to avoid her all year. The girl only talks about herself, about how pretty she is, how perfect she is, how everyone wants to be like her.

All she wants to do is use the bathroom and pee in peace, but here comes the storm front known as Cameron.

***

AS if Mary's day couldn't get any worse, they decide to have a junk food day at lunch. Doughnuts, burgers, pizza. Ugh! Mary signs. She'll go with the least bad of the three, the burger with avocados.



Suni sits with her friends, saving a spot for AJ, hopefully he'll sit with her during lunch.

Marcus is talking about how he can't wait to go on his first date. His parents said that he and his twin brother Oliver can start dating next year. He's very excited. He doesn't have any romantic interest of yet, but he's sure once he's "available" they'll start coming out of the wood work to be with him.



Suni wasn't paying any attention to the conversation, she was to busy glaring at Lilly.

Oh, my, God! Did anyone see the shoes Lilly's wearing? Please, they are so lame." She says. That's when she realizes that Ye has sat in AJ's seat.



But before she can ask him to move she hears AJ behind her, asking her if they could talk.

She gets up to face him and her heart drops. She can tell by the look on his face that he's not going to apologize for what he'd done.



"Ive been giving this some thought, and I really don't think this is going to work out between us." He says.



Suni is taken aback. She can't believe that he's breaking up with her... in the cafeteria... at school... during lunch! But he is. Suni can't speak. The words are there, but she can't get her mouth to work.

Lilly is watching the whole scene unfold with a smile on her face.



She can't help thinking just how hot AJ looks!



"Why? Why are you doing this, AJ? Is it because of her? Because I won't be with you? You can't do this! We can make it work!" She pleads.

He only shakes his head. "It's not you. It's not Lilly. I think we've out grown each other, Suni. And it wouldn't be fair to either of us if she stayed together." With that he walks away.



She can't believe it. He's gone and what they had is over. Suni starts to cry. She's thinking she'll spend the rest of the day in the nurse's office.


Brooke watched the whole thing and she's really hating her sister right now! Suni told her about that party and what Lilly did. Brooke is so angry she could slap her sister. She wonders how their parents would react if they knew that Lilly wasn't a virgin anymore.


AJ stand behind Lilly, nervous. He hopes she knows he's done all this just for her.

(notes from GB) This was actually hard to do. Before AJ hooked up with Lilly he had to fear of breaking up with Suni, and all that good stuff. And here is Suni's wants. As you can see she wants to fall in love with AJ, this is after the night of the party. She still wants to be with him.

But he's broken off things with her to be with Lilly. But I'm not sure where Lilly is with all of this, how she feels about AJ. She swoons over him, but that's just lust. lol

Cameron really is a drama queen and talks about herself all the time. I'm glad that she thinks she's a gift to all sims. But hopefully she'll grow out of this stage soon!

Denial is not a river in Egypt

April, Spring 2011, Nashira Sanchez is 28 and Taffi Snowden is 55
Another mini update




It wasn't uncommon to have light snow fall in April in Riverdale. But what was uncommon was Nashira and her procrastination. She waited until the last possible moment to finally come to turms with the truth... almost truth. Because things still hadn't been confirmed yet.

So instead of relaxing on her day off, Nashira found herself logging the 30 minute drive from Riverdale to downtown... in the snow. Okay, light dusting of snow. She mumbled as she flipped through the radio stations finally finding something worthy of listening to and, continued on her way.



She arrived at the hospital and headed up to the gynecological floor. There were only two reasons to visit Doctor Snowden, and she wasn't here for a yearly pap-smear.

Taffi greeted her as she entered the exam room a warm smile on her face.

"So, what's seems to be the problem, Nashira?"

Nashira groaned inside. If it were for the patient confidentiality law she would be here, knowing that this would get back to her mother by night fall.

Taking a deep breath she voices her fears and concerns. Taffi never once frowns or shows any kind of negative judgement. Which make Nashira all the more unnerved.



Taffi tells her to lay back and relax and, explains everything that she plans on doing. Still doesn't make Nashira fell better. She already knows the answer, even if it's not what she wants to hear.



Once the exam is over Nashira meets Taffi in her office.

Taffi smiles warmly, it's her "doctor" thing. It puts patients at ease, most of the time.

"Well, as you know the results are positive."



She could have sworn her heart jumped into her throat. This was not happening. It was time to face facts and come back from her little trip to Egypt. The Nile was nice all year but it was time to pull her head out of the sand and grow up.

"So, there's no way you could be wrong. Do tests go bad?"

"No, Nashira, you're pregnant. I did the internal myself."

This was not supposed to happen. Rupert was fun, a lot of fun. But he was out of her system now. She was over him. He wasn't supposed to leave a parting un-gift for her, dammit!

"So what do you plan on doing?" Taffi asks.



"I don't know. I still haven't gotten past the part where you said that I was pregnant."



"Well I suggest you make up your mind soon. You'll be entering your second trimester within the next week. Once you hit your fifth month, there really isn't much options left for you."

"What do you think I should do?"

Taffi sighs. "It's not my place to tell you what to do. You need to do what's best for you. For Nashira."



"I shouldn't have teased Fatima with all those beach ball jokes, huh?" She laughs a little.

"You just call my office when you've made up your mind."


Nashira pulled out of the parking lot and onto the main street when she noticed her mom walking towards the hospital. She had left just in the nick of time. She really wasn't in the mood to explain to her mom why she was at the doctors that afternoon.

***

Denial couldn't last for every. And if the morning sickness wasn't enough the missing of a period was the dead give away. So Nashira is preggos with Rupert's love(?) child. She's still on the fence though about what to do.

And the hospital is a community lot, I have no idea why the mail box stayed when I rezoned it. *shrugs*

One night over dinner

April, Spring 2011, Brian Chew is 50, AJ Christian is 17 and, Aaron Chew 6
This is a mini update.





"I did it! I actually had sex!" AJ blurts out at the dinner table.

Brian almost chokes on his steak. "I don't think this is the best time to discuss this." He says, nodding his head in the direction of his son.



Aaron places his fork down on the table and turns to face his brother. "We talk about this topic all the time at lunch."



"Well, not me. I'm there to learn. It is a school. But the girls, all they talk about!" He shakes his head.


"It hurts my heart. I'm only in the first grade!"



(notes from GB) I thought this was hilarious. I popped into their house to get AJ his tux for prom and decided to play a little bit with aging off. Well this was their topic for discussion over dinner. So if anyone remembers the back to school thread, then you'll get this joke. Well at least I thought it was funny. lol
