In my idea there are four characters. The story is told from Carls perspective and focuses mainly on his relationship with Jess and then Kat. Mark is introduced at the end and is a very important character despite rarely seeing him.
Carl - Carl is 21, is 6 foot tall and has dark brown hair. He is a local lad attending university, hates his part time job in a clothes shop but loves a night out at the end of a long week of studying and working. He is a normal guy, friendly, confident, has a lot of friends, has good family values and respects those around him. All of this changes when he has one too many drinks. He becomes the opposite of his normal self, argues with all of his friends, gets touchy with his parents and is rude to everyone. He has a girlfriend named Jessica, that he always calls Jess, who he loves and has been with for nearly two years since meeting her at University. Carl often spends nights out with Jess treading on thin ice, but makes up for his behaviour the next day, usually with gifts and a lot of apologising. Before meeting Jess, Carl had a thing for Kat who he has known since early years of secondary school, but it never turned into anything more than flirting and texting.
Jessica - Jess is also 21, is shorter than Carl, has long brown hair and also lives local, she goes to the same uni as Carl and met him at the start of her first year. She is quite weary of Carl when he drinks due to past events and arguments. She knows Carl doesn't mean what he says when he is drunk and is usually won over with the gifts he buys her afterwards, but she no longer wants to be put in the situation where she is scared of her own boyfriend. She is quite timid and doesn't like confrontation, meaning her nights out with Carl often end with her leaving early or/and in tears. She is begin inn
Kat - Kat is 21, is around the same height as Carl, has long blond hair, blue eyes and knows she is attractive. She is mature for her age in terms of looks and could easily get the older boys in school. She often dresses to impress even if she is only going to the shops, and often appears as a very forward, confident and flirty girl despite being in a relationship with Mark. Kat went to the same secondary school as Carl, and the pair were interested in each other when they were younger. Kat has a secret soft spot for Carl and often wonders if her first love feels the same. She sees Mark as more of a comfort figure than a serious boyfriend, running to him when she needs him to get her out of trouble. He is more of a fashion accessory to her as he can drive, spends lots of money on her and is older than she is by a good few years. Now she has left school, she uses him for the things she used to find attractive.
Mark - Mark is 24-25, is 6 foot 2, broad and muscular. He was seen as one of the popular boys at school by the younger students but since leaving school has become an outsider. He is obsessed with Kat and doesn't really have many friends because of the time he spends trying to control her. He doesn't know Carl or Jess personally but they are acquainted and have crossed paths in the past. When Carl, Jess and Kat were in school and Mark had finished, he would often wait outside the school and pick her up in a rather controlling manor. He thinks he is in a serious relationship and is in love with Kat, despite constantly arguing with and confronting other boys for flirting, talking to or even looking at her. He is often dismissed by Kat until she needs him yet will never let her down. He gets jealous of the way Kat acts when he's not around and has resorted to following her a few times in the past to see what she gets up to. Even when he does find her flirting with other guys, he takes it out on them and never her as he is too scared to confront her incase he loses her.
