In the dynamic and diverse world of Westfield College, a unique, motley crew of students bound by the threads of friendship emerged from the background. Six individuals, each bearing their distinct characteristics, quirks, and insecurities, were brought together by fate, forming a bond that transcended the confines of a bustling campus and the stress of endless assignments.

Adrien, the athletically inclined African American footballer, effortlessly assumed the group's leadership role. His toned physique and charismatic persona were evident on the field and off, drawing others towards him like a moth to a flame. He commanded respect, not by force, but through his empathetic nature, which bore testimony to his inherent leadership skills. At his side was his best friend, Manuel, an effervescent blend of Asian and Hawaiian heritage. Manuel's infectious laughter and aptitude for playing various band instruments earned him the role of the group's resident jester, a role he cherished and performed with gleeful enthusiasm.

In stark contrast to Manuel's joviality was Tristan, the choir student with a proclivity for rebellion and mischief. His persona was tinged with an alluring danger, a magnetism that was only heightened by his rich, melodious voice. His rebellious charm managed to win over Yuma, the arts and crafts enthusiast with a unique fashion sense that mirrored her punk-rock lifestyle. Her bold, dyed hair and expressive clothing were clear indicators of her free-spirited personality, drawing a clear line between her and the traditional norms.

However, within this diverse group, one individual harbored sinister intentions beneath her radiant smile. Amber, the seemingly angelic sweetheart, had cultivated a malevolent strain of jealousy. It slithered in the depths of her psyche, hidden from her friends, concealed beneath her pristine reputation. Her envy was primarily directed towards Alex, the brilliant recluse of the group.

Then there was Alex, the group's mystery. A brilliant student with grades that would make anyone envious, she was a silent observer. Her quiet demeanor hid the trauma she carried from her past. Raised in an abusive foster family, she had been forced into the role of a model child. This abusive upbringing led to her achieving perfect grades out of fear and necessity, a cycle she couldn't break even after escaping her tormentors.
