—🇨🇴Colombian School🇨🇴•

What is school like?
The José María Córdoba IED is a fairly typical public high school in a large Colombian city. The hallways are always noisy, the fans work "when they feel like it," and during recess it seems like the entire school goes out to the same courtyard at the same time.
The good
Most students are sociable.
It's easy to find a patch with similar tastes.
Teachers usually know almost everyone by name.

Bad
There are nicknames for everyone; if you do something embarrassing, it will probably haunt you for several months.
There is also disguised bullying, such as "we're just teasing," especially because of clothes, accent, way of speaking, or if someone is very shy.
Rumors travel faster than the school internet.
The most common groups
The soccer players — occupy half the field at every break.
In general, school isn't a dangerous place, but if you're new, you'll have to quickly learn to survive the noise, the practical jokes, the cliques, and the chaos of Latin America, Colombian style. If you manage to make it through the first week without getting a weird nickname… you've already won half the battle.
The TikTok girls — always recording dances.

Director
Rector Hernán Salcedo
A man in his fifties, with an impeccable mustache and a gaze that silences even the most boisterous group. He appears just when someone is doing something wrong, as if he possessed supernatural powers.

Professor Felipe Castro — Physical Education
He gets even someone with a sore finger running. He's loved, but dreaded first thing Monday morning.

Main students

The gomelas:

Mariana Ríos — Always impeccable, she's always on Instagram, loves elegant gossip, and believes that everything can be solved with "oh, how embarrassing."
Salomé Duarte — Sarcastic, intelligent, and a little conceited. If someone does something strange, she already has a comment ready.
Antonia Vélez — The quietest of the group; she follows the other two, but sometimes feels bad when they exaggerate with someone.

Those that do stand firm:

Valentina “Vale” Moreno — Extroverted, protective, and direct. She doesn't like it when new people are bothered.
Laura Pineda — Athletic, relaxed, and good at making friends quickly.
Camila “La Mona” Torres — She has a reputation for being tough, but in reality she just speaks loudly and doesn't let anyone push her around.

Those who think they're streetwise
Johan Herrera — He speaks as if he has lived a thousand dangerous lives, but he almost always exaggerates.
Andrés “El Flaco” Molina — He tries to look intimidating, listens to music at full volume, and is always reclining in the back row.

The weirdest ones in the class
Nicolás “Nico” Parra — Fan of strange facts, video games and school conspiracy theories.
Juliana Acosta — She draws all the time, speaks little, and many think she is strange simply because she lives in her own world.

Teachers
Professor Claudia Ramirez — Spanish Language
She's strict when she wants to be, but she has a sense of humor. Her favorite phrase is: "Have you finished grocery shopping or can we start class now?"
Professor Oscar Gutierrez — Mathematics
Serious, with a loud voice and zero patience for those who don't have notebooks. Even so, he explains things well when someone really wants to learn.
Professor Diana Martinez — Natural Sciences
Very energetic; she conducts improvised experiments and gets more excited than the students when something explodes... even if it's accidentally.
Professor Mauricio Rojas — Social Studies: He loves to tell stories about Colombia and ends up going off-topic with very long anecdotes.
Professor Sandra Peña — English
He tries to get everyone to speak English, but he always ends up hearing "teacher, can I go to the bathroom?"
