1998 Greewood School

This is even more interesting for the plot.

New students

This year, Greenwood School No. 3 was closed for major renovations, so some students were transferred to Middle School No. 1. Three new students were admitted to Grade 10-A.

A beautiful girl with long black hair and dark brown eyes. Calm, confident, and a little mysterious. She loves reading books and rarely initiates conversation. Many consider her the most beautiful new student.

Cheerful.

Brave.

Charismatic.

Victoria Blake (16 years old)

Character:

Restrained.

Reason for transfer

Due to major renovations at School No. 3, all students were temporarily reassigned to other schools in the city. Evelyn, Scarlett, and Victoria ended up in Class 10-A at School No. 1.

Their appearance immediately sparks interest among their classmates. At assembly, many discuss the new students, and the girls themselves notice Kai—the most famous guy in school thanks to his good looks and the fact that he's considered the fastest student. However, first impressions don't necessarily mean a friendship or attraction will develop between them—the relationship will develop gradually as the story progresses.

Family relationships

The Anderson family lives peacefully and harmoniously. The parents rarely argue and always try to support each other. Although their work prevents them from spending as much time with Kai as they would like, their home is always filled with warmth, respect, and mutual support. This is why Kai has grown into a well-mannered, independent, and responsible man.

Name: Kai Anderson

The protagonist is a tall, slender teenager with slightly tousled black hair and dark gray eyes. He has a calm, almost emotionless expression, which leads many to consider him cold or unapproachable.

He prefers black clothing: black hoodies, T-shirts, jackets, and sneakers. He even tries to wear his school uniform in a dark-toned style.

Despite his slight build, he possesses excellent physical fitness. His main characteristic is his incredible running speed. No one in the entire school can outrun him in a sprint, which is why the physical education teachers constantly encourage him to participate in competitions.

He moves quietly and confidently, rarely making unnecessary movements. He almost always keeps his hands in his pockets and remains calm even in tense situations.

Thanks to his appearance and mysterious character, he attracts the attention of others, especially his peers, although he himself does not strive to be the center of attention.

Background

Kai grew up in a two-parent family in Greenwood. His parents work long hours, so from childhood he was accustomed to spending a lot of time alone and became independent. He's a good student, but he doesn't like to stand out and rarely participates in school activities.

He spent several years competing in track and field, which led to him becoming the fastest student in school. Despite this, Kai doesn't strive for popularity and prefers a quiet life.

For most students, he remains a mystery: a quiet guy in black clothes who hardly communicates with anyone, but whom almost the entire school knows thanks to his speed, appearance, and unusual calm.
