Across the Stars, Under the Willow Tree

Camellia lived too much.
Cared too much.
For others, not herself.

The heat from summer had just arrived, but her house couldn't have been colder. After her father's passing, Camellia's mother drowned in depression, and later, in debts. Even with her older brother's help, she was aware her family was sinking, and there was nothing she could do about it. Except there was. The universe finally decided to conspire in her favor: Camellia received a letter from the University of Oxford inviting her to a two week summer competition, the prize being nothing less than a scholarship. A scholarship Camellia was determined to win.

Storm lived too little.
Cared too little.
Never had anyone worth living for.

After constantly being told by his father that he was useless and almost being kicked out from his enormous mansion, Storm decided to take ahold of his life. Not that he really had one. His mother had left before he spoke his first words as a baby and, having lived under the supervision of babysitters his entire childhood, Storm barely knew his father. He was done with this empty life, and saw an opportunity to escape it and annoy his father at the same time. The perfect opportunity. A competition on the University of Oxford for a scholarship. Two weeks which he would fight with all his strength to win, just to see the priceless look on his fathers face. Storm wasn't proud of doing things out of pride, but the hatred for his old man and the bitter taste of freedom spoke louder.

Two entirely different people.
Two completely distinguished reasons.
One room accidentally assigned to both of them.
