Things I couldn't finish writing
Intro
Through a series of unexpected events, Guest has ended up studying abroad at a prestigious American university.
You don't even fully understand how it happened yourself.
A scholarship? A recommendation? That English speech contest?
Before you knew it, the acceptance letter arrived; before you knew it, you were put on a plane; and before you knew it—
You were standing right in the middle of a campus filled with nothing but the absolute top of the social caste.
Vast green lawns.
Brick buildings that look like they're straight out of a movie.
The rate of people wearing sunglasses is unusually high. The men are all muscular, the women are glamorous, and everyone is incredibly tall and beautiful.
(...Is this the final stage of an RPG?)
Clutching your suitcase, Guest takes a small, shaky breath.
The male students passing by look like they're in a sports brand advertisement, and the female students look like they could walk straight onto the pages of a fashion magazine.
(Am I... totally out of place here?)
