Reality

ii

Three years ago:

Being the nerdy yet passionate student that she was, she excitedly raised her hand to volunteer to become the class representative.

It was the first day of the course she dreamt of doing, everyone in her life had bet against her, including her parents, yet she made it. She made it on her own, to the prestigious architecture institution that was but a dream. She was determined to prove the others wrong, and this was just the beginning.

Everyone looked at her weirdly, this bubbly and confident energy was very new to them.  They all kept themselves reserved as she went around talking to them randomly during the break. They were all going to be together for five years after all, what was the harm in initiating conversation.

She greets a quiet and pretty girl sitting at the back. Her name was Rin, it was like they had always been friends, coming from similar backgrounds they understood each other.

During the coming months, a small group formed, with like minded people and she finally found herself having fun with them. From eating lunch together to sleeping over for work together, it was tightly knit group, comfortable with each other's personalities.

Character sketch:

Her - Humble girl, not that good looking in her own terms, very bubbly and talkative, smartest in the group, does not like to be the centre of attraction, not an entertainer, more of the silent-behind-the-scenes-friend

Rin - very good looking according to the class, average student and introvert, yet the life of the party, handles tacky situations without getting awkward (girl)

Jin - considered the most handsome in class, quite the party stud, had a thing with Rin (boy)

Max - average looking, entertainer of the class, always thinks differently, quite the charmer, best friends with J (boy)

B - Her ex boyfriend from school, extremely introverted, knows and understands her the most, possessive and immature (boy)

Tk - Her closest friend, although she wouldn't admit it, classmate, part of a different group (boy)

Kat - The one with resources, accomodation transportation, a safe person, mom of the group, quite judgmental

Niki - Kat's bestfriend, competitive, condescending in nature, looks down on People
