best memory ,Aaron has quite a few memories that he loves... Most of them are the time he spent with Jaymie and/or his brother; but his favourite is either when he was accepted into Hawthorne or the time he ran all around campus in nothing but a pair of underpants and pink Converse.
worst memory ,Aaron’s worst ever memory is probably when he found out that Jaymie had moved away, without even telling him – it broke his little heart.
history ,Aaron and Jake Ramirez’s life story begins with the meeting of their parents and their lovely marriage. Well, he probably wouldn’t be here otherwise. I don’t care if you don’t care about how his parents met and the birth of his brother; it is part of Aaron’s history and you asked for Aaron’s history. Don’t you get mouthy at me; I’m only stating the truth. So let’s go back, back to before Aaron was even born.
Daniel Ramirez, their father, was American. Amie Antonio, (who, at the time of this story, was actually still Amie Romano) their mother, was English. Many would say that the story of how they met was a cliché, but I’m going to tell you anyway. Danny boy had gone to England for a week with his friends. He met Amie when he - quite literally - walked into her. The cliché part of this, I am hearing you cry? They looked at each other; fell for each other; and as they say, the rest was history. Kinda. Danny spent all of his free time with Amie. But vacations don’t last forever, the holiday soon came to a close and he had to head back home. Even though they were always talking on the phone they still missed each other. Less than three days after he had left; Dan had decided to go back to England. Amie met him at the airport, and they shared a hug that must have lasted at least 5 minutes, sweet nothings constantly being whispered into the other’s ear. There and then Dan proposed to her, confessing how he couldn’t live without her in his life. There’s the cliché part. Luckily for him Amie said yes and they were married later that year, Dan moving to England so Amie could stay with her family. Nine months after their wedding night; the first of their two sons were born.
Their first bundle of joy, Jake, was nearly two when it was announced they would be having another baby. Amie and Dan were ecstatic with the news. They honestly didn’t mind whether it was a girl or a boy, as long as it [it sounds rude to say ‘it’, but there isn’t really any other word] was as pleasant as Jake was. Jake himself, on the other hand, had a different approach to things. Considering he was still at the ‘girls have cooties’ stage of life and wanted a baby brother to play-wrestle with. It seems that Jake must have done some good deeds around that time, because somehow the little dude seemed to get his wishes answered. Another nine months of mood swings and morning sickness passed and little Aaron Ramirez was born. Amie and Dan decided it would be best for all of them to move to America, as the English house prices had started to rise and they desperately needed a bigger house with their expanding family. Aaron and Jake didn’t really seem bothered, although at that age you don’t really understand anything about money, mortgages and all that jazz that followed with it.
As Aaron was so young at the time of the move, he hadn’t lived in England long enough to realise the difference between there and America. Jakey, on the other hand, instantly disliked all of the noise and the pollution that came with living in America, even though it was only New Jersey. He had been there for less than a week and he already wanted to be back in the peace and tranquillity that was Essex. Although; at the time nobody knew that little Aaron would later in life wonder what may have happened if the English house prices hadn't gone up and his parents stayed in England. Maybe he wouldn't have even started Hawthorne. Well, that's nothing to do with what actually happened in his history. I could tell you what would have happened, but then I would go on for paragraphs and paragraphs and you would be none the wiser about what really happened, so we’ll just skip all that dribble. Fast forward a couple years, to Aaron's first day of school. Not his first day of being at Hawthorne. I mean his first day of Kindergarten.
Aaron had heard many great things about Kindergarten from Jake. There was mention of cookies, milk, nap-time, sand boxes, finger painting and a big long list of other activities that he had grown to love over the years. One thing Jake hadn’t told him about was the bullies. Shockingly, Aaron himself didn’t get picked on. But he saw the big evil bullies steal another girl’s cookie – that was all he needed to see. When you’re the age of a Kindergartener you don’t really take into consideration the fact that the bullies were much bigger than him and no matter how hard he tried, they wouldn’t be scared of him. Either way he toddled over; telling the bullies to give the girl’s cookie back and leave her alone. All the bullies did was laugh in his face, take his cookie aswell and give him a wedgie so hard that he couldn’t sit down for several hours afterward. But still, he got a new best friend out of the whole palaver. Most people know that in kindergarten, you’ll call anybody your best friend after only spending a matter of minutes with them. But this was going to be a friendship built to last.
There was little that Aaron and Jaymie didn’t do together after that. Unlike his older brother, who refused to speak to girls while in kindergarten because he seemed to believe that they had ‘cooties’, Aaron’s best friend in the whole world was a girl. Sure, he had other friends. But nobody could come between himself and Jaymie. They always found something to do together, whatever the weather, and there were hardly any secrets kept from the other. No matter how much he was teased for hanging around with a member of the other gender all of the time, he didn’t seem bothered. It was his life and his bestest ever friend. His parents always told him that the people who teased him were just jealous, because he had a friend who would always be there for him and they didn’t. Really, he couldn’t imagine what it would be like without Jaymie to play Cops and Robbers, hide and seek or all of those other crazy games that they used to play all the time. People always said that he and Jaymie were ‘going out’ – something which Aaron didn’t even know the meaning of. He ignored them, carrying on with his cheery little lifestyle.
Aaron and Jaymie grew, as did their friendship. They spent just about every waking moment together and people still carried on spreading rumours about how they were secretly dating – so secret, in fact, that Aaron didn’t even know about it himself. Okay, so he still wasn’t 100% sure what dating meant, but he was still pretty sure that he and Jaymie weren’t. Yes; it was true that he had an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny crush on her. He never dared tell her because he didn’t want to freak her out. If she stopped being his friend because he was an idiot, he would hate himself. He ignored his silly little crush on Jaymie like he ignored the silly little people who were always teasing him. The little guy tried his very best to constantly remind himself that she was his best friend and that was all she would ever be, but failed miserably whenever he tried to wash away his feelings. The only thing that he could do was to face up to those big fat facts: he had a crush on his best friend, one that certainly wasn’t going to disappear very quickly.
Freshman year of high school soon whizzed around. Aaron still had a crush on Jaymie and still refused to tell her; or tell anybody, for that matter. Thankfully their friendship was still going strong and the little dude carried on like nothing was wrong, hiding his crush like he had done before. There was just one problem. During the first few weeks of high school, he looked at Jaymie and... Well. It sounds awfully cheesy and terribly cliché, but he realised that he didn’t just have a crush on her. It was more than that – he was falling in love with her, his best friend. He still wouldn’t tell her, though. What if she only liked him as a friend? What if he told her, she got totally freaked out and never spoke to him again? What if their friendship was never the same again? The list of ‘what if’s’ his little pea-sized brain had managed to conjure up was endless and it most certainly scared him out of even thinking about telling Jaymie how he felt. He never wanted any of the things on that list to happen. He shunned the stupid list and his ever-growing love for his best friend to the back of his mind.
Until along came one night when Aaron decided that he couldn’t take it any longer. He had to tell Jaymie how he felt, no matter the consequences; because he knew that if he didn’t then he would probably burst. So he rode his bike the few blocks over to her house, not really put off by the fact it was chucking it down with rain and he didn’t have any kind of waterproof protection. These are changes you have to take when you’re in love, don’t you know. He knocked at the door and waited. No answer. He knocked again and waited a little longer. Still no answer. The rain was getting heavier and heavier with each passing moment, and the little dude was just about to give up when one of Jaymie’s neighbours stuck their head out of their window; scaring the living daylights out of him. The bloke explained that the Hartson’s had moved away, not saying where they were going or why they were moving. All that the neighbour dude knew was that there had been lots of moving vans around earlier.
The news broke Aaron’s little heart. Not only had his best friend moved away, but she hadn’t told him about it either. It was like somebody had taken his life, shaken it up and turned it upside down, if that made any sense. But everything was different now his best friend had moved away – all those things that they used to do together he had to do on his own, and it just wasn’t the same. Everything seemed to remind him of Jaymie. His grades slipped by miles because he could never concentrate when he was in class or while he was studying, as he was always too busy trying to think why Jaymie and her family would just up and leave without telling anybody. It wasn’t really any of his business, but he couldn’t help himself. Everybody noticed how much Aaron had changed in so many different ways now that Jaymie was no longer by his side. There was only one solution his parents could think of that might help cheer him up and hopefully boost his grades up. Sadly, it wasn’t to find the Hartson’s and beg them to move back to New Jersey.
The one sane solution his parents could think of was to ship their son off to a boarding school of the arts in Los Angeles for his musical talents. His sort-of cousin (his uncle’s step-daughter, which to Aaron made them sort-of cousins) Elouise was currently attending. He wasn’t much for the idea at first – what if Jaymie did come back to New Jersey, and he was in Los Angeles? That wouldn’t be good. Eventually he warmed up to the idea after Ellie managed to convince him by going on about how fun it was. Sadly, just like his brother when he raved on about Kindergarten, she forgot to mention all of the Jocks. Ah well.

overall personality ,‘ i’ve never told a lie, and that makes me a liar. ’
Having been used, lied to and many other bad things throughout his lifetime, Aaron has vowed never to tell a lie unless he really, really needs to. Most people would find something like that pretty hard, but not him. Even when the little dude tries to lie it doesn’t work; because he always ends up in a tangled web of stutters and stammers until he eventually gives up and decides to tell the truth anyway. The only time he can lie successfully is in he needs to for one reason or another, usually because of a surprise party – or something along those lines.
‘ i can’t get insured for the state i’m in. ’
Ah, yes. Aaron has always been a clumsy little dude. No matter how hard he tries [kind of like the whole lying thing] you can guarantee that he’ll trip, hurt himself or break an object of sorts (and in some cases; tripping/hurting other people or even all of the above) at least once in the span of an hour. At times he really can end up dropping himself in it – nine times out of ten, without a shovel –but somehow manages to sort out the problembefore he ever gets into some serious trouble. Considering that, he usually finds some way or another to end up in the principal’s office or the detention room. Although... It’s strange how alot of the things he gets in trouble for are things he didn’t even do in the first place.
‘ do you want to hold my hand? ’
It sounds awfully strange, but Aaron is actually quite the hopeless romantic, without even knowing. You see, the little guy has never known how it feels to have a girlfriend [quite sad for somebody his age, I know] so he doesn’t know how romantic he actually is. I suppose this means that we’ll have to speak metaphorically for a little while. If Aaron ever has a girlfriend, he will always treat them as they want to be treated, tells them what they want to hear (most of the time), and will put her before his friends (again, most of the time). He’s also a faithful little dude – he wouldn’t dream of cheating on somebody. It’s just a shame that most girls either think he’s strange or only like him as a friend. It doesn’t really help that, deep down inside, he still loves his best friend Jaymie even though he hasn’t seen her for years; and the few girls he does have a crush on, he either can’t speak to in proper sentences or like I said, only see him as a friend.
‘ you think that nobody noticed? ’
Aaron has always had a very bad habit of hiding things. His favourite is that if he ever breaks something [which believe me, happens an awful lot; especially when the afore mentioned ‘something’ doesn’t belong to him] then he will usually attempt to fix it in some way and hope that nobody seems to notice that there’s anything different. The sad thing is that people usually do notice. But it’s not just broken objects that he tries to hide, oh no. Aaron is always hiding his feelings, too. Ever since Jaymie disappeared and he doesn’t see his brother as much, he’s never had many people whom he can trust. Whenever he has secrets or something he desperately wants to talk about, he has to keep it to himself. It probably isn’t very good for him to keep all of his feelings bottled up like he does, but when you think about it he doesn’t really have much of a choice.
‘ your cheap shots won’t be able to break bones. ’
For somebody so short, Aaron does get into quite a few fights. Yes, he’s one of those people who has never really been a big fan of violence and thinks that there are more important things to worry about than socking each other in the face. But to tell the truth, he pretty much brings it all upon himself – let’s just say that he has a very bad habit of not thinking before he opens his mouth and not really go into anymore detail than that. Maybe telling some of the biggest and most violent Jocks on the whole football team that they have body odour and a face like King Kong’s rear end isn’t such a great idea after all; but it doesn’t seem like Aaron has learnt that lesson very well yet. There’s always the benefit of the doubt, though; like those times when the Jocks are just bored and have nothing better to do but pick on him. So he fights back and ends up in alot of pain.
‘ like a cold day in august, i was not prepared for this. ’
Aaron is rarely prepared on-time for anything. You can tell him about some kind of event as many weeks in advance as you want to - he'll still be the one who sheepishly falls through the door, half an hour late, hair life he's been dragged backwards through a forest; interrupting everybody's conversations with his so-called 'entrance' of sorts. Whether it's some sort of stupid mistake that happens to everybody once in a while (missed the bus, couldn't find his keys/wallet, yada) or some kind of excuse that really doesn't make you look good in certain situations (woke-up several hours late and completely forgot he had to be somewhere). Even if he does make an effort to arrive somewhere early, then you can make damn sure that there will be something to make him late.

face ,There’s not much about Aaron’s face that makes him stand out it any way. His nose is normal sized, he doesn’t have any piercings, his ears aren’t that large... That’s really all I can say about his facial structure. Oh, and that he also has a very big mouth – so big, in fact, that you really have to see it to believe it. His hair hangs around his face in a floppy mess of highlights, which means he’s always brushing his hair out of his face. Never has he ever changed his hairstyle in anyway – it always looks exactly the same as it did yesterday. The most drastic change he ever made to his hair was getting highlights. Honest.
body ,Aaron is short. He always has been and, unless he has some kind of sudden growth spurt at some point in his life, he probably always will be. Thanks to being short he’s also quite a scrawny little thing, which isn’t very helpful when he gets cornered by the Jocks or tries to stick up for his sort-of cousin Ellie. The strange thing is that he can actually run pretty fast – which helped when the Jocks were trying to give him a wedgie after Aaron had tipped paint on them. Sadly he did get a wedgie in the end... But it was worth it, at least he got his revenge for a change.
distinguishing features ,There’s not really much that makes this little guy stand out. Unless you count the fact that he’s pretty well known for legging it around campus in nothing but a pair of tightie-whities and a pair of Converse singing Hollaback Boy, he’s just like any other seventeen year old dude. Well... He sort-of is, but it would be better for everybody if I didn’t go into detail about any of that.
clothes ,To tell the truth, Aaron wears pretty much the same thing every day. Not in a literal sense – he does wash, you know – but his regular outfits usually consist of the same thing. If he isn’t wearing a t-shirt, a hoodie, skinny jeans and Converse then he’s either pyjama-clad or running around the place in his underwear. If he’s not wearing one of his usual outfits, sleeping or dancing in his underpants then goodness knows what he must be up to. He’s never worn any kind of ‘formal’ outfit in his life. If you’ve ever seen this dude in a tuxedo, then you must have been dreaming. He also wears beanie hats alot, because... well, beanie hats are cool, okay? There are three bracelets he always wears on his left wrist, only taking them off when showering/swimming/some other kind of activity where he might lose them.
