Highly inspired by Extraordinary You
Imagine this: your world is a stage, a script dictating your every move. You wake up, attend class, speak your lines, and follow the storyline as if it were your destiny. But one day, a subtle shift—like a breeze carrying whispers of forbidden truths—leaves you unsettled. The realization dawns upon you like an unwelcome sunrise: you are a character in a high school storybook, a marionette bound by the invisible threads of an author’s pen.
The roles are unmistakable: the "poor girl" struggling to navigate the halls of wealth and privilege, the brooding villain casting shadows in every scene, or the overlooked side character lingering in the background. You play your part without question, drawn into a rhythm that feels natural, yet unnervingly mechanical.
But then, a flicker of autonomy. A missed cue. A thought that doesn’t belong to the script. And suddenly, you are no longer just playing along. The glossy sheen of the world dulls, revealing cracks in the perfect illusion. Minor characters shuffle about, blissfully ignorant, their eyes glazed with the haze of a preordained plotline. Yet, for those of you breaking free, the truth looms: this isn’t real.
What happens when you step outside the boundaries of the script? When you defy the roles assigned to you? The memories of others reset, but yours remain sharp, etched like forbidden markings on the pages of a book you were never meant to read. In the heart of this unraveling, you and others like you begin to search for answers, piecing together fragments of a world that is both yours and not yours.
The question is not just why this is happening. The real question is: *what happens when you tear the pages of the story?

The Poor Student [TAKEN]
Luck seems to walk hand in hand with her destiny. Despite life’s relentless weight pressing down on her shoulders, she has worked tirelessly, refusing to yield. Born into a poor family, her unwavering kindness has often been overlooked or exploited by those around her. Yet, the gods seemed to have smiled upon her, bestowing a glimmer of fortune—a scholarship to the most prestigious school in the nation.
Naturally gentle and compassionate, she carries herself with grace. But within the hallowed halls of privilege, where envy and cruelty masquerade as strength, she becomes the target of relentless bullying. Each day, she holds herself together, only to crumble in the privacy of her home, the cracks in her heart deepening with every whispered insult.
But what happens when the weight becomes too much? What happens when kindness is no longer enough, and she shatters the image of herself that the world has taken for granted? What lies beneath the surface when she breaks free of the character she’s been forced to play?
The Principal's Son
He’s the most flamboyant, sought-after figure in the entire high school—a whirlwind of charm and notoriety. With a snap of his fingers, the world bends to his will. Whatever he desires, he acquires without delay. Blessed by the gods with striking good looks and the fortune of a wealthy family, his life seems effortlessly perfect.
But his attention has shifted, fixated on an unexpected subject: the quiet, impoverished student who dared to defy him. She had struck him—an audacious punch—when he cruelly pushed her friend to the ground. It was a moment that shattered the facade of his untouchable authority, and to his surprise, it intrigued him.
Now, he has a new target, a challenge unlike any before: her. What begins as playful intrigue may lead him down a path he never anticipated, one where power and privilege mean nothing in the face of resilience and integrity.
The Wealthy Villainess Heriess
As the only child of one of the wealthiest families in the world, she has grown up with the world at her feet. Spoiled beyond measure, she has been showered with luxuries from the day she was born. Her sharp, commanding demeanor is enough to scare maids and acquaintances away in fear—but their opinions don’t concern her. All that matters is her ability to live life on her terms.
Yet, beneath her polished exterior lies an emptiness she cannot ignore. Her parents have always been absent, leaving her to be raised solely by her devoted nanny, the only constant figure in her life. Perhaps it’s this void that fuels her insatiable need for attention, a hunger that knows no bounds.
But there’s one thing she cannot seem to claim: the attention of the Principal’s son. Despite her relentless efforts, his eyes are locked on someone else—the poor student, whose quiet strength outshines her wealth.
Consumed with jealousy, she sharpens her focus. If she cannot win his affection, she will ensure her rival pays the price. The poor student, already enduring so much, now faces an even more ruthless adversary in this wealthy heiress.
The Devil student [ TAKEN ]
He hails from a wealthy family, though not as affluent as some of the other students at the school. Still, he’s made a name for himself as the ultimate troublemaker, infamous for his reckless antics. Whether it’s starting fights, skipping classes, or clashing with teachers, he thrives on chaos. His presence is enough to send shivers down the spines of those who cross his path.
Yet, beneath the reputation of a delinquent, there lies a strange twist of fate. In a rare moment of chance, he saved the poor girl from the villainess—an act of heroism that came not from any sense of duty, but sheer coincidence. His actions remain shrouded in mystery, even to him, as he continues to play the part of the outcast, isolated by the very reputation he’s cultivated.
The other students whisper behind his back, calling him "in pact with the devil," a superstitious phrase fueled by fear. They avoid him like the plague, uncertain of what dark forces might be at work. Yet, all of this is just a story—one woven from rumor and the truth they refuse to acknowledge. For beneath his troubled exterior lies more than the students could ever imagine.
The Side character
She is, for the most part, a quiet presence—always in the background, rarely noticed when the main characters weave their stories. A mere side character, a shadow in the grand drama unfolding before her. Yet, her life is far from simple. Born into a family of wealth and love, she should have everything she could ever wish for. But fate has other plans.
Despite countless surgeries to repair her fragile heart, it remains a ticking time bomb, threatening to break at any moment. The doctors have done what they could, but no one can promise her safety. Her life is a constant battle against her own body, a war she may lose at any time.
As if this burden weren't enough, her betrothed—a cruel and callous man—treats her like little more than an inconvenience, a mere pawn in a game she never agreed to play. His heartlessness cuts deeper than any illness ever could, yet she endures it, because what other choice does she have?
She walks through life, surrounded by beauty and wealth, yet haunted by the constant knowledge that time is not on her side. Her future is uncertain, her fate as fragile as her health. Only time will tell if she ever finds a way to break free from her torment—or if the hands of fate will claim her long before she can.
The Fiance
He is the fiancé of the side character, but the bond between them is one of disdain, not love. From the very first moment their engagement was arranged, he despised her existence. To him, she is nothing more than a burden, a weight he is forced to carry due to the dictates of his family. His resentment towards her runs so deep, he often wishes she would simply disappear from his world, freeing him from the shackles of an obligation he never wanted.
But beneath his hatred lies a darker truth—he is the product of a broken home. His father is abusive, a tyrant whose anger knows no bounds, leaving scars on his soul that run deeper than any physical wound. His stepmother is a woman consumed by greed, using him as a pawn in her pursuit of wealth and power. In this toxic household, he has been raised to view relationships as transactions, and love as a weakness.
The hatred he harbors for his fiancée is not just born of their arranged marriage, but from the bitterness and hopelessness that have taken root in his heart over years of abuse. He lashes out at her, channeling his frustrations and anger, unaware that the true source of his pain lies not in her, but in the suffocating grip of his family’s cruelty.

The story our "characters" are in.
(A parody of "boys over flowers"/"Hana yori Dango")
Nestled amidst manicured landscapes and grandiose gates stands one of the nation’s most prestigious high schools—a haven for the elite. The halls echo with the confident strides of students whose families’ names are etched in legacies of wealth and power. To enter these hallowed grounds, one needs more than just intelligence or talent. Money, influence, and an almost mythical stroke of luck are the unspoken currencies that secure a place here.
This year, however, the rules shifted. A new policy promised an unprecedented opportunity: one spot for an ordinary applicant—rich or poor—chosen not by lineage but by merit. The lucky individual would need to possess razor-sharp intelligence, relentless determination, and an almost preternatural drive to succeed. It was a chance to bridge a chasm most could scarcely imagine crossing.
For the students already attending, life in this opulent world is one of privilege and indulgence. Grades are often negotiable, discipline is lax, and many of the wealthy stroll through their school days as though on a perpetual holiday. After all, what consequences can touch those shielded by gold and status?
But when *she* walks through the gates—a girl from a world far removed from luxury—her presence sends ripples through the social fabric of the school. Surrounded by classmates who wear their privilege as armor and wage silent battles behind gilded facades, her very existence becomes a disruption. What happens when someone who has fought for everything steps into a world where most have never had to fight at all?
In the face of scorn, indifference, and the unspoken rules of a world designed to exclude her, this girl must navigate a battlefield where wealth and privilege reign supreme. Yet, unknown to her, even the lives of the rich are rife with struggles—hidden wars fought in shadows, hearts burdened by secrets, and masks slipping in moments of vulnerability.
Will she find her place in this glimmering, cutthroat world? Or will her very presence expose the cracks beneath the polished surface of this so-called paradise?
