SINISTER HEARTS

CHAPTER 1

Olivia is a kind and gentle 20-year-old girl who is also a working student. She's not very tall, and her hair is a pretty brown that falls softly over her shoulders. Her eyes are a warm and friendly color, like honey, and they sparkle with curiosity.

Every morning, Olivia wakes up early when the sun starts to shine. She wears comfy jeans and a cozy sweater, and she looks forward to the day ahead. Her small home is filled with postcards from faraway places, and she dreams of visiting those places one day. Her pursuit of a degree in International Relations was driven by a fervent desire to make a difference in the world, to bridge cultural gaps, and foster understanding between nations.

 She was sitting by her window, with a steaming cup of tea in hand, and gaze out at the rolling hills that surrounded Bordeaux, envisioning a future that transcended borders. it was soon enough when Olivia found herself engrossed in conversation with her two closest friends from the university, Marie and Pierre, during a rare moment of respite. 

They gathered at their favorite café, Café des Reves, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the gentle hum of conversation created an atmosphere of intellectual camaraderie.

Marie, with her fiery red hair and an affinity for spirited debates, was pursuing a degree in Political Science. Pierre, a computer science enthusiast with an easygoing demeanor, had a penchant for making people laugh with his quick wit.

"Olivia," Pierre exclaimed, flashing a mischievous grin, "Have you ever considered that International Relations is just politics on a global scale?"

Olivia chuckled, savoring the warmth of her cappuccino. "Perhaps, Pierre, but it's more about building bridges than walls, don't you think? It's about finding common ground amidst the diversity of nations."

Marie leaned forward, her eyes alight with passion. "That's precisely what we need more of in today's world. Your field might just be the key to unlocking solutions to some of our greatest challenges."

Olivia nodded, her gaze distant for a moment as she contemplated her chosen path. "I believe that understanding, empathy, and diplomacy can change the course of history. It's not an easy road, but it's worth every challenge."

Their conversation was interrupted by the distant chime of a church bell, a reminder that time was fleeting. Olivia's shift at the café beckoned, and the trio reluctantly gathered their belongings.

As Olivia prepared to leave, Pierre clapped her on the shoulder. "Keep inspiring us, Olivia. Your dedication is infectious."

Marie nodded in agreement; her eyes filled with admiration. "And remember, we're here to support you, whether it's studying late into the night or just sharing a cup of coffee."Gratitude welled up within Olivia as she bid her friend's farewell. Their unwavering support had been her anchor during the tumultuous sea of academic and work-related challenges.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a palette of warm hues across the European sky, Olivia Martenez stood at the crossroads of her working student life. Her path was illuminated by the unwavering friendship of Marie and Pierre and her relentless pursuit of knowledge. With each passing day, she moved closer to realizing her dreams, determined to make a difference in a world that desperately needed bridges of understanding to span its divides.
