Taylor Davies. He often gets called Tay or T, especially by his mom. Some of his friends refer to
him as Davies and they tend to drag the word out a lot. He doesn't mind having nicknames, but would prefer to just go by Taylor.
15 years old and his birthday falls on the 30th July.
Taylor generally flies under the radar. He isn't cool, weird or crazy enough to stand out for anything that he does. He isn't
the loudest in classes, and he tries to keep his head down and just get on with it. The way he sees it, his mother pays far too much money for him to fool about in class.
He doesn't have a job at the minute, but he is forever applying to different places and handing his CV out in every store
around town. He sometimes babysits for his mom's friend when he is back home, but would never admit that to anybody. Super embarrassing!
He stands at an average height of 5'8" and weighs 135lbs. He has a very toned body, especially his abs. He works out a lot, trying to keep fit and healthy. His legs are pretty muscly, but his abs are his most defined. He runs a lot and does a lot of core workouts. He is trying to build his upper body strength up slowly but surely. He does wish that he was more into the rough and tumble type of sports that the majority of the boys around here are into, but he definitely could never see himself doing that. He would rather be a supporter of the school teams than out there getting dirty doing it.
He thinks that his eyes are his best feature - they range from bright green to grey, and they look a different colour every day. His mom always refers to them as mood stones. She can always work out when he is upset or angry by the colour of his eyes. He thinks his eyes complement his skin type pretty well, due to his skin being quite pale. He does tan pretty easy in the summer, but throughout winter he stays a very pale colour, losing his tan super easy.
Taylor is generally a happy-go-lucky type of guy. He doesn't care that he isn't the most popular guy in school, or the most attractive or even the most clever guy in school. He lets things go with the flow and hates controversy. He believes that everything happens for a reason, and figures that things will work themselves out if there is a problem. The one problem with him being so against controversy is that he doesn't stick up for himself. If people are rude or mean to him, he will ignore them. But he takes things to heart and can get upset very easily.
He hates being lazy, and tends to be productive most of the time, whether that's doing extra work for his classes, going out to exercise or just hanging out with his friends. He maintains a carefree, cheerful attitude 99.9% of the time, and is a fun guy to hang around with. He can get slightly irritating to some people, and has been described as being similar to a puppy. He has a lot of energy and often struggles to sit still for long periods of time. He can be very loud and boisterous, but he never means harm. He just has a lot of spare energy that he struggles to burn off!
Taylor was accepted into Metric for modelling, but also for his talent and interest in Science. He isn't too interested in the modelling side of things. It's not that he dislikes it, it's just that he prefers academic study more. He is always thankful that he was accepted as a model, otherwise he wouldn't have the opportunity to study the classes he does now. But he doesn't take it as seriously as some as the other students here. He isn't as competitive for jobs like the majority of the models here. He is, however, completely thankful for the amount of work that he does get. Any money that he earns goes into a separate bank account that he refuses to touch until he has left school.
He takes combined sciences; Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The combined science classes are his favourite classes, and he knows that they are the main things he needs to get where he wants to be in life. Biology is by far his favourite, and he is absolutely fascinated by the human body. His main goal is to eventually leave Metric and attend a medical school. Taylor wants to be a doctor more than anything. Unfortunately, you can't attend medical school at the age of 15, but Taylor knows that Metric is the best possible high school he can attend before he is allowed to go to a medical school. He does realise that medical schools come with some seriously high prices, and he understands that there is a very high possibility that he won't be able to afford it, but he saves all the money that he gets from his modelling jobs.
Taylor has never lived with his father, it has always just been him and his Mom, Sarah. Sarah was a prime example of the problems the care system can create. She was taking drugs, constantly drinking alcohol and spent her nights sitting with her boyfriend, completely out of her head. She was only 15 herself when she fell pregnant with him, and his father wanted nothing more to do with her. He was a couple of years older than her, and his parents tried to bribe her with money to abort the baby. Of course, she declined. She realised that he never really loved her if that was what he really wanted, but she didn't have to worry about seeing him anymore as he skipped town with his parents. Taylor entered the world and made Sarah a better woman. For as long as Taylor can remember, she has worked her butt off to give Taylor everything he has ever needed. He remembers seeing her as a child balancing her psychology degree (she continued to study until she had finally gotten it), a job and bringing Taylor up alone, whilst having to pay rent.
Taylor was born and raised in St. Simons Island in Georgia. It was a pretty small town, but Taylor loved growing up there. His school wasn't the biggest, but he met the best bunch of people there. There were always other kids around for him to play with, but his best friend was a girl called Katie. The two were inseparable. They were next door neighbours and the pair would spend all of their time together. When they turned 9, Katie moved out of town, and Taylor has never found a friend whom he is as close to, as he was with Katie. The two still Skype with each other, but it's not quite the same.
When Taylor was eight, he was hit by a car when out riding his bike in the street. The driver had been drinking, and it was by no means Taylor's fault. The ambulance ride to the hospital was the first moment his interest in being a doctor started. He still remembers being in the back of the ambulance and watching the paramedics treat his injuries whilst he was in and out of consciousness. Spending a couple of days in hospital made him realise how amazing the staff were. They treated all of his injuries and made sure he was comfortable and happy whilst he was there. Luckily for him, he only had a broken leg, concussion and cuts and bruises.
From that day on, he had decided he wanted to be a doctor. He wanted to be able to help people, just like they had helped him. Not only him, but the support his mom had to get herself clean, too. He had been looking at Metric from being about 11, and his mom began to save up. He was accepted with his first application, and Sarah couldn't have been any prouder of him. She sent him as soon as he had turned 14, believing it was the best thing for him. She wanted him to have every opportunity that she hadn't had.
