Last summer

19 years old.
Birthday: July 17.
Height 186.

His dark, slightly wavy hair is almost always tousled, as if he'd just taken off his motorcycle helmet or woken up after a couple of hours of sleep in a car. His gray-green eyes are constantly quizzical, even when he's silent. Sharp cheekbones, a noticeable mole near his neck, and his habit of wearing a silver chain make his appearance quite distinctive. He has an athletic build, broad shoulders, and hands often covered in scratches from his latest "adventures."

Charismatic, confident, and sometimes a bit too brazen. He loves attention and can fit in with almost any group. He often acts like he doesn't care about anything, but in reality, he's terrified of losing his friends after the summer. He loves to joke around with others and deliberately provoke emotions in people for fun. In serious situations, he quickly takes the initiative.

Her shoulder-length blond hair is often pulled back into a loose ponytail. Her green eyes are vibrant and emotive. She has light freckles on her cheeks, and her fingers are constantly stained with ink or marker. She almost always carries an old digital camera and a multitude of bracelets on her wrists.

Kind, emotional, and very caring. She's deeply attached to her friends and takes any conflicts within them seriously. She loves capturing moments in photos and constantly talks about how unforgettable this summer is. Sometimes she worries too much about others and forgets about herself.

Birthday: February 14.
Height 182.

His chestnut hair is always neatly styled, even when he's hiking. His brown eyes look too serious for his age. His build is toned, his movements focused and confident. He often wears a watch and constantly checks the time. There's a barely noticeable bump on his nose from an old sports injury.

Reserved, organized, and stubborn. He likes to be in control and gets irritated when plans fall apart. He's the most responsible person in the group, although sometimes this even begins to weigh on him. He's very worried about the future and fears that after he enters college, his friends will gradually disappear from his life.

19 years old.
Birthday: May 26.
Height 188.

His light-brown hair constantly gets in his eyes, and his tanned skin betrays a man who spends most of his summer outdoors. His blue eyes, wide smile, and dimple make him very attractive. He has a strong build, powerful arms, and a small scar on his forearm from an unfortunate jump into a river as a child.

Very sociable, loud, and lively. He meets people easily and quickly becomes one of them. He loves to make people laugh and hates awkward silence. Sometimes he hides his own worries behind endless jokes and smiles. He's one of the few who tries to keep his friends together.

18 years old.
Birthday: November 3rd.
Height 190.

Tall and thin. His black hair slightly obscures his eyes, making him almost always look tired or pensive. His very dark eyes and pale skin give him a slightly gloomy appearance. There are old abrasions on his knuckles, and on his left wrist is a leather bracelet that he never takes off. He moves quietly and almost unnoticed.

Silent, observant, and reserved. He dislikes noisy company, but somehow always stays close to his friends. He often goes for walks alone, especially at night. He seems cold, although in reality, he simply doesn't know how to properly display emotions. He's very attentive to details and notices things that others miss.

  *night walks
• old music

Dislikes:

*noise

• obsession
  *other people's touches

Birthday: October 31st.
Height 174.

Her striking appearance immediately draws attention. Red or dark brown hair, expressive eyes, and a sly smile. She often paints her nails dark colors and wears rings on her fingers. She has a small tattoo on her thigh, which only a select few know about.

Energetic, impulsive, and chaotic. She constantly drags her friends into adventures and loves to test boundaries. She likes to appear confident and bold, although in reality, she finds it difficult to tolerate the feeling of being forgotten or replaced. She is very jealous if she becomes too attached to someone.
