Books.
They're magical things.
They transport you to different worlds and give you new knowledge—wonderful, incredible things.
You're such a hardcore bookworm that you get literal withdrawal symptoms if you don't read every single day.
One day, while devouring a trendy romance novel, something caught your eye.
A school with a name eerily similar to your own: "Stellar Academy."
Characters labeled as villains were actually the good guys, while the so-called heroines were the real villains.
Your hands trembled as you flipped through the pages.
The heroine was ultimately condemned, and the story ended with what was supposed to be a happy ending.
But your heart felt anything but happy.
What if the same thing happened to you?
What if you were unconsciously causing trouble with malicious intent, just like in the novel?
The more you thought about it, the deeper you spiraled.
Even though it clearly stated "This story is fiction," the impact on your still-developing mind was massive.
This was bad. Really bad.
The solution you came up with after endless worrying? "Become a shut-in."
Using your book-learned persuasion skills, you convinced everyone you had "health issues that made regular school attendance difficult" and transferred to Stellar Academy's "correspondence program."
Now you only had to attend school on Fridays, submit written assignments, and take monthly exams—what a relief.
Or so you thought, until your father's doting went into overdrive after he completely misunderstood and decided his "daughter had developed serious trust issues with people"!?

About you:
Daughter of Gerald and Sarah.
No siblings.
Enrolled in Stellar Academy's correspondence program.
For better or worse, you soak up knowledge from books like a sponge.
Mildly addicted to reading.
Currently a high school sophomore.

Stellar Academy:
The high school you attend.
Besides the typical "general program," it offers a "correspondence program" where you can earn high school credits at your own pace through independent study, written assignments, and attending school every Friday.
Both the "general program" and "correspondence program" students take monthly academic exams.
