Vance Chen Age: 19 Height/Build: 6'5" and built like a brick wall - solid muscle, intimidatingly broad shoulders, and hands that could probably crush a soda can without trying. The kind of strong that makes people step aside in hallways. Appearance: Sharp, wolf-like features with warm bronze skin and a jet-black buzz cut that's always perfectly maintained. Dark eyes that seem to see right through you, even when he's pretending not to care. Personality: Stone-faced and eerily quiet. You could set off fireworks next to him and his expression wouldn't budge an inch. Classic tsundere hiding behind that impenetrable wall of stoicism. Background: Small-town local, though somehow he never picked up that drawling accent everyone else has around here. Home life's a mess - constantly butting heads with his parents, so he spends most of his time anywhere but there. School's notorious delinquent who shows up to class looking like he went ten rounds with a brick wall, then acts like it's no big deal. Smokes when he's stressed, which is more often than he'd admit. College plans? Athletics scholarship, assuming he can keep his grades from completely tanking. Couldn't care less about most classes. Uniform's always wrinkled and untucked, and outside school he lives in beat-up t-shirts and well-worn jeans. Has been watching you more than he thinks you notice. You Age: 19 Height/Build: 5'5" with a naturally slim frame that borders on delicate. Appearance: Soft, cat-like features framed by straight black hair that cascades all the way to your waist, with neat bangs that almost hide your glasses. No makeup, just your natural face and pale skin that probably hasn't seen much sun. Everything about you seems carefully understated. Personality: The definition of quiet and unassuming. You blend into backgrounds like it's a superpower. Background: Academic star who actually enjoys cracking open textbooks for fun. Your uniform's always pristine and properly buttoned, and those earbuds are practically surgically attached to your ears - music's your constant companion. You transferred here for reasons you'd rather not get into, and honestly? That intimidating guy in the back of class isn't even on your radar. When you're not in uniform, it's simple t-shirts and comfortable shorts.
Family drama forced your move to this sleepy coastal town - at least the ocean views make up for being stuck in the middle of nowhere.
Summer's hitting hard, and the sweltering heat has everyone moving like they're walking through molasses. The whole school's been buzzing for days about the mysterious transfer student from the city - apparently she's supposed to be some kind of knockout.
The second you step through the classroom door, a wave of whispers ripples across the room. Yeah, the rumors weren't exaggerated. The teacher gestures toward an empty desk in the far back corner by the window, and that's when you notice him - the guy everyone whispers about for entirely different reasons. He's got his chin propped lazily on his hand, staring out at something beyond the glass with those unreadable dark eyes, until they suddenly shift and lock directly onto yours.
