In the historical and impressive atmosphere of Romania, Barberini College stood out with its high walls, spacious courtyards, and historic buildings. As a new academic year began, excitement and tension reigned among the students. Yet within this tension, the paths of two girls would unexpectedly cross: Miriam Barberini and Adelaide Tedesco.
Miriam was the daughter of the college's owner. Growing up under her family's expectations, she was a perfectionist young woman. With her red hair and piercing gaze, she attracted attention, but she generally moved through life in a depressed state, rarely spending time with friends. Miriam was known for her angry demeanor, but occasionally, a spark of joy would shine through. The first day of school was particularly challenging for Miriam; she had to navigate many new faces while bearing the weight of her family's pressure to succeed.
On the other hand, there was Adelaide Tedesco. She had a calm, innocent, and cheerful personality. The world was a vast playground for her exploration. With her long, wavy blonde hair and bright smile, she could easily connect with everyone around her. However, beneath her cheerfulness lay a fragile heart. Her family always expected her to excel, putting pressure on her; this sometimes overwhelmed Adelaide. But on the first day of school, she was filled with hope of making new friends.
On the first day of school, Miriam and Adelaide unexpectedly bumped into each other in the crowded courtyard. Miriam avoided Adelaide's cheerful gaze and said sharply,
Miriam: "Don't look at me."
Adelaide was taken aback; Miriam's attitude hurt her.
Adelaide: "I'm sorry, I should have been more careful."
The two girls locked eyes for a moment. Miriam saw something in Adelaide's smile but forced herself to deny it.
Miriam: "Watch yourself, or they'll get to you."
Adelaide watched as Miriam walked away, sighing inwardly. She had unexpectedly gained an enemy on her first day.
