Prologue : How it has always been

Havenbridge University is a prestigious institution that welcomes only the most gifted prodigies. It is divided into three majors: Sports, Arts and Science/Technology.

While every student at HU is remarkable in their own way, there are always a few who stand out.

"Hey, Ben! Pick up the pace or leave. We don't need slackers on this team!" The booming voice of the football captain echoed across the field from the bleachers.

"Sorry, sir! It won't happen again!" Ben shouted back, panting.

"It better not!" the captain barked, his glare unwavering.

Meet Alexander Romanov-better known as Alex, Rome, or, if you're extremely close (or you will be made unconscious), Sasha. He's the captain of the football team and the undisputed king of Havenbridge Sports.

Known for being egotistical, hot-headed, and a shameless flirt (yes, with both women and men), Alex is nonetheless a brilliant leader-or so his team insists.

Now, on to-

"Guys! He's here!"
"Oh my God, he's so hot!"
"Did he get a new tattoo?!"

Before I could finish, the hallway erupted in whispers as Lorenzo Rossi-or "Enzy," as he's called-made his grand entrance. A star artist and actor from Havenbridge Arts, Enzy was fully aware of his magnetic charm-and he basked in it.

"Hey, ladies. How's it going?" he said smoothly, grabbing a random girl's hand to plant a kiss on the back of it before winking at her group of friends.

Not waiting for a response, he sauntered away, leaving the gaggle of girls swooning in his wake.

The bell rang, signaling the start of class. Students scrambled to their homerooms until a deafening crash froze them in their tracks. The sound of the school bell being smashed reverberated through the halls.

All heads turned toward the source of the noise. A figure, soaked in some unidentifiable substance, stood by the ruined bell, their presence sending chills down everyone's spines.

"Where the fuck is Romanov?!"

The figure growled, pinning a random boy to the wall.

"I said, WHERE THE FUCK IS ALEXANDER ROMANOV?!"

The trembling boy pointed a finger toward the double doors leading to the football field.

The figure shoved him aside and stormed through the doors, slamming them open. Stomping across the bleachers and onto the field, he headed straight for the footballers, who parted like the Red Sea.

The figure stopped in front of Alex, whose trademark smirk didn't falter even as their eyes met.

Before anyone could react, a solid punch landed square on Alex's jaw. The football team stood frozen, knowing better than to intervene.

"That's a strong punch, Aki," a voice said, laughing at the display.

The figure's fist hovered mid-air as he turned toward the voice.

"Don't worry," the figure snarled. "You'll get some more, cause there's no way Knuckle-head over here could've thought of this on his own."

The figure jabbed a thumb at Alex, who pointed to himself mockingly.

"Me?" Alex scoffed. "Why the hell would I need Sparkles over there to help?"

"Sparkles?" a voice cut in sharply. Enzy.

"This is Louis Vuitton, you uncultured musclehead!" he snapped, glaring at Alex before turning to the figure. "Aki, you should know me better than to think I'd stoop to something this childish."

He gestured to the mess, exasperated. "If it were me, you wouldn't be walking right now, Hiko."

"I don't care whose idea it was," Hiko muttered darkly. "I'm leaving."

"Aww, Aki, don't worry," Alex taunted. "I'll give Rome a spankie for you-oof!"

His words were cut short by another punch, this time to Enzy's face.

"Call me 'Aki' again," Hiko growled, leaning close. "And this fist will end up shoved up your ass. Oh, wait-you might actually like that."

Enzy, fuming, grabbed Hiko by the collar.

"Careful," Hiko chuckled, his voice dripping with mockery. "Your hand's near my sweet spot. I might just-hngg" He let out a breathy laugh as Enzy shoved him away.

Hiko turned and walked off, leaving Alex laughing on the ground and Enzy seething.

---

That, ladies and gentlemen, is Akihiko Matsumoto-the ruler of Havenbridge Science/Tech. A genius who rarely speaks to anyone, Hiko has a knack for getting under both Rome's and Enzy's skin. If you ever need to create chaos in their lives, just call him, and he'll come skipping your way.

And that, in a nutshell, is Havenbridge University. Just don't try to change the routine-unless you have a death wish.
