Rosewood wasn't exactly a very desirerable city to live in. It was old and it only had the basic necessities like a supermarket, a pharmacy and a few small restaurants but the building that stood out the most: an old university. Surprisingly it was a prestigous one to attend which was in stark contrast to the city itself.
It stood tall on a small hill, it's surroundings covered in trees and nature. The university beared resembelance to an old gothic cathedral with it's big towers and beautiful stained-glass windows. It had a big library with books that covered every topic imagineable. But the most outstanding fact about the university: the students.
People travel from near and far to attend there, that's if, of course, they even get accepted. You have to know, the head of school only allows very specific people in but no one knows what the critterias are. It's certainly not grades, not looks, not talent. Some say it's purely luck that gets you in.
You can imagine the surprise on Jasmins face when she got a letter in the mail. It looked old. It was packaged in an envolope, sealed with a wax stamp and a lavender flower melted into it. The letter itself had a light brown color and was lined with thin lines, which almost weren't visible to the human eye. The words were handwritten in the most beautiful cursive letters she has ever seen.

Jasmin couldn't believe it. She made it. The university were most people get rejected. But not her. She's one of the chosen and she couldn't be prouder. The letter came with the uniform which when she put it on it fit like a glove. "Weird." she thought. She never send in her measurements and yet it fit perfectly. The uniform was simple but cute. It looked classy, yet modern. It was a black blazer with the emblem of the university embroidered and a white blouse underneath. It also came with a stripped tie and a grey short skirt.
Seeing herself like that made her even more excited for what's to come. They letter was already really mysterious but she could've never guessed what was about to transpire in the next months...
