Game On!
Wayne Academy -
"WELCOME TO WAYNE ACADEMY!"
The sound of cheering students echoed through the vast courtyard.
Some were taking selfies by the fountain, others sat under trees studying their schedules.
Others - mostly freshmen - looked utterly lost, clutching maps like tourists.
It looked like a normal first day of school.
But if you think this is just another ordinary school day...
Think again.
Because when Wayne Academy opens its gates for another memorable year.
Meet the main characters of the new school year.

Zatariel Wov - The Golden Boy
Inside a luxurious mansion north of the city, a young man adjusted his neatly pressed uniform in front of a mirror.
Zatariel Wov, Top 2 of the Green Garden Program - brilliant, famous, ridiculously handsome, and the kind of guy who looks like he was written by a romance author with too much imagination.
Golden hair. Blue eyes. A smile that could cause fainting incidents in the hallway.
But behind his flawless image hides a quiet strategist - someone who prefers to plan ten steps ahead than bask in popularity.
He fixed his tie, glanced at his reflection, and smirked.
"First day of Green Garden, huh? Mimi... you better be ready."

Miexha Wayne - The Heiress
Meanwhile, in the Dom Mansion, a girl stood before an antique mirror.
Miexha Wayne - Top 1 of the Green Garden Program and heir to Wayne Academy itself.
She fixed her hearing aid carefully. Her condition never defined her - if anything, it made her stronger.
"This is it," she whispered, glancing at the guitar leaning by her bed.
"Mama, how can I survive this year?"
Is she ready for the chaos waiting for her this school year?

Jayson Dom - Wayne Academy's resident tech prodigy.
His room looked more like a futuristic lab - holograms floating midair, glowing monitors stacked in rows, and at the center, a tall boy in headphones typing nonstop since last night.
If something needs hacking, Jayson's your guy.
He's a genius, but not exactly talkative - his silence speaks louder than his words.
"Jay! Hurry up! You'll be late!"
Asha's voice echoed from the door.
"Wait," he mumbled, eyes still glued to the screen.
No one could tell if he was excited for the first day - but knowing Jayson Dom, one thing's certain:
This year won't be boring.

Thyron & Ofreigha Sebastian - The Sibling Duo
Across town, two redheads got ready for the day.
Thyron Sebastian - Top 3 of the Green Garden Program, varsity heartthrob, and heir to the Sebastian name.
He pocketed a photo of him and Miexha from years ago before grabbing his car keys.
"Let's go, little boo," he told his sister.
Ofreigha Sebastian - the newly returned international celebrity from Amerina, fiery-haired, dazzling, and dangerously charming.
As the car sped toward Wayne Academy, Thyron caught her eye in the rearview mirror.
"This year... I'll make sure Miexha finally looks my way."
"Good luck, Kuya!" Ofreigha teased, trying to hide her grin.

Marie Duke - The Scene Stealer
Outside the two storey apartment, Marie Duke entering in the black car.
Her father, Damian Duke, on the driver's seat, visibly nervous.
"Relax, Dad," Marie said, flipping her hair dramatically.
"I'm the protagonist here. Main characters don't lose."
Damian just sighed.
When the car stopped in front of Wayne Academy's massive gates, Marie stepped out, bag slung over her shoulder, strutting like she owned the place.
"Good morning, Miss Duke," stammered a guide.
"Orientation's in the Grand Hall."
Marie winked.
"Thanks, sweetheart. Oh, and don't get lost - I wouldn't want to break your heart this early."
Mission one: Leave an impression. ✅
Inside the hall, she spotted her target - Miexha, clutching a book, looking calm as ever.
Marie's lips curved.
"Bingo. Target spotted."
"Hi!" she greeted, voice sugary-sweet.
Miexha sighed.
"Marie, please. Not today."
"I didn't even say anything yet!" Marie laughed.
"But seriously, I can already tell... this year's going to be fun."
"Excited, huh?" Miexha smiled shyly.
Marie leaned closer. "For the romance, obviously."
"Marieeee-"
"Relax, I'm teasing! But come on, darling-this is Wayne Academy. There's always drama. And with me here? Expect extra."

While the girls talked, unseen eyes watched them.
Zatariel Wov leaned against a column, lost in thought.
"We're living under the same roof... like newlyweds," he muttered, smiling to himself like a lovestruck fool.
Across the hall, Thyron smirked.
"Enjoy it while it lasts, Wov. This time, Miexha's mine."
And somewhere nearby, the faint sound of a camera click - a quiet girl observing everything.
---
Kyliah Vargas - The Silent Player
A girl with glasses, a neat ponytail, and a long blazer holding a camera entered the Grand Hall unnoticed.
She scanned the crowd with sharp eyes.
Everyone looked happy, but she could see through it - secrets, rivalries, unspoken tension.
Her gaze landed on Miexha and Marie... then shifted to Zatariel.
"This might be my last mission," she whispered.
She smiled faintly.
In her mind, a single thought formed-
"Let the game begin."
---
Cue the school bell.
Laughter, chatter, and chaos filled the air as students rushed to class.
Above them, the Wayne Academy banner fluttered proudly in the wind, sunlight gleaming on its golden crest.
And just like that-
A new school year begins.
New faces. New rivals. New love stories.
New mysteries waiting to unfold.
