A <- B <- C <- D <- A = The law of transitivity
A small group of childhood friends now blossomed into high school students slowly find that their affections of love are unrequited. Additionally, they find themselves being a different friend's love interest. Each student must decide if they want to pursuit the ones who seemingly won't love them back, or settle into a new love with one who is pursuing them.
Each chapter brings a new schedule of school events for characters to explore and use as a platform to increase chemistry between themselves and their love interests. It is also encouraged to be an opportunist and take them away from their love interest

Name: Akeya Himeko
Likes: Success, sweet foods,
Dislikes: Messiness, feeling insecure, ghosts or anything supernatural
Best Known in School for: Student Presidency
Bio: Akeya’s parents separated from financial disagreements and it left his mother and him a lump sum amount enough for retirement. Yet, the trauma left his mother to spend in constant income deficit and Akeya to fear and question the dynamic of family and money. He grew an addiction for materialistic thinking and a secondary obsession of weighing the exchanges between his relationships as a marker for its success or failure.
Personality: Akeya is well rounded in his studies and confidence in social interaction. His likability stems from his ability to organize school events, to empathize with student concerns and staying committed to his work. Others describe him as slightly arrogant and stiff. His best friends know his strengths come from his fear of loneliness and being thrown away if he's untalented. The insecurity to not fail propels him to do well in his studies and his relationships. He is soft spoken in his words and lets ambition be his compass to lead himself into decision making. In love, he believes gift giving and actions are the best way to increase chemistry. If these affections aren't successful, he can come off brash and aggressively confrontational, unable to maintain a healthy balance of his emotions and the respect of other's emotions.
Role in the friend group: The serious one who monitors everyone to make sure they are doing well mentally and academically.
What they will do for love: He treats love as another goal and he will do anything to succeed in his methods to win that goal.
Pursuit in Love or Settle?: Pursuit, he will never settle.
Name: Nao Kobayashi
Likes: Singing, Dogs, Movies, Being outside, Dancing, Playing ukelele, Fruit
Dislikes: Reading, Being Alone, Studying, Small Spaces, The Dark
Best Known in School for: Performances at school events
Personality: Nao is a rather special figure who wholeheartedly embraces kindness and optimism as core traits of his personality. Despite not being the most intelligent individual around, Nao is most definitely one of the more carefree up to the point where he is destined to fail without help of others in the shape of guidance and tutoring. Not knowing his way around anything to do with planning causes him to be rather messy and chaotic in his way of working and just his way of life. He values having fun and maintaining strong social connections way above academic success, so a few bad grades won't make him worry that much until he gets dangerously close to failing. To add up to his way of annoying others, Nao is quite easily distracted and can be somewhat oblivious, specifically towards other people's emotions. However, if he does notice someone not feeling all that well in any way he will do his utmost best to cheer them up.
Despite having a little bit of trouble sensing what exactly is going on, Nao does know his way around words and can generally be labelled a social butterfly as he does not find it difficult to talk to anyone regardless whether they are a stranger or even someone he dislikes. He's gregarious at heart, liking the presence of others and being much more fond of doing things in groups rather than alone. He's a bit cheeky/impish, so he might attempt to pull of a prank here and there on some of his friends. It's all just fun and games though, since Nao does not like harming others in any way, shape or form and will feel incredibly guilty when he hurts someone's feelings.
When it comes to love, Nao is not very experienced and thus just experiments with various ways and techniques to gain his crush's attention. From giving gifts to performing songs to just doing whatever the other person wants, Nao will do his best to make things work. He can come off as slightly desperate when nothing works, and will show a lot of jealousy towards those who do get attention from the person he likes.
Role in the friend group: The upbeat, youthful and slightly reckless type who's relatively dependent on the rest of the group to assure his survival at and around school.
What they will do for love: Adapt immensely. He will try to figure out what his crush likes and will gradually try to turn himself into the perfect boyfriend for said person.
Pursuit in Love or Settle?: Pursuit. Nao is a dreamer, one who finds it very difficult to let go of his goals.
Name: Ryouma Ishida
Likes: Cats, Coffee, Sweets, Books, Springtime
Dislikes: Wintertime, Decaf, Minor Annoyances, Closed Spaces, Math
Best Known in School for: Being the leader of the art and literature club.
Bio: Born into an average middle class family. Hardworking and you keep what you earned. It wasn't exactly a privileged lifestyle. He learned honor, family and hard work is what was needed in life. His parents were rather old-school and when they found out that their son was anything but straight they weren't too happy. It was his junior year of high school and he found himself kicked out of the house he grew up in. All because he thought it would be okay to come out to his parents. He managed to scrape up some savings he got from his job and rent an apartment close to his school. With his luck increased when someone approached him on the streets and offered him a job in modeling. It was a shock to him but apparently they were desperate. So began the teen's modeling career. While juggling school, his club and his work. Ryouma is a busy kid.
Personality: At first glance Ryou is soft and well spoken. This is completely true, he's a kid with a heart of pure gold. He doesn't have much to say most of the time, but when he does he's not hesitant to say it. He speaks what's on his mind and heart and doesn't hold back. He means well and instantly regrets and feels guilty if he hurts someone. He's protective over his friends and holds them dear to his heart. They're special to him and they stuck with him even when he wasn't sure about himself. He's rather insecure about himself and it doesn't help with the pressure of the modeling business on his shoulder. Banging it into his head that he has to be perfect. So he spends a lot of time keeping his appearance in check, while it might seem vain to others, he doesn't see it that way.
Role in the friend group: The sweet and doting friend that always has his friends' well being in mind.
What they will do for love: He believes that once he's found the one, he'll do anything to make them happy. Even if they don't feel the same way he'll still tell them how he feels. Gifts and surprises are guaranteed.
Pursuit in Love or Settle?: Pursue, he'll never give up on his goals.
[div style="width:70%;max-width:500px;min-width:200px;padding:50px;background:url(https://www.toptal.com/designers/subtlepatterns/patterns/full-bloom.png);margin:auto"] [div class="bigimage"][/div] [div style="text-align:center;font-size:2.5em;font-weight:bold;color:#555;text-transform:lowercase;padding:10px"]Shouhei Nakatani [/div] [div style="color:#555;font-size:13px;"] [div style="font-weight:bold;padding:3px 5px;background-color:#CA4C5A;color:#fff;width:fit-content"]Personality[/div] [div style="padding:20px;text-align:justify"] If there was one word to describe Shouhei, that word would be 'nosy'. He considers everything to be somebody's business, and that somebody is usually himself. He listens to the gossip network of the school, and in some ways is a major contributor to the gossip chains. He is a meticulous note-taker, and it is rare for him to forget even the most minute details. Generally when dealing with others, Shouhei is rather reasonable and even-handed. Above all, he seeks to keep the peace, whether by means of gentle persuation or through a light whack on the head.
He considers himself to be responsible for the actions of most, if not all, of his friends, and often finds himself fretting over their wellbeing. He is prone to admonishing others for their carelessness, but will nevertheless feel compelled to correct their mistakes. He's not a rule breaker, and usually follows others into trouble, if only to pull them out of hot water should the occasion arise, but nevertheless can be surprisingly bull-headed when he has an idea in mind.
Despite his tendency to worry, Shouhei is supremely confident in himself and his abilities. He's not easily upset by criticism, and will gladly bad-mouth them right back if given the chance. He keeps his head cool in every situation, and it takes truly exentuating circumstances to startle him. He prefers worrying about the future rather than the present, ensuring that he would be prepared for every circumstance. He acculmulates small trinkets like a crow, and sorts out his hoard carefully, reasoning that there's always a chance something could end up being useful. [/div] [div style="font-weight:bold;padding:3px 5px;background-color:#CA4C5A;color:#fff;width:fit-content"]Bio[/div] [div style="padding:20px;text-align:justify;"] The third child in a family of five sons, Shouhei's parents were usually busy at work, with very little time to look after him or his siblings, who vied for what little attention they could spare. While the favored child of his mother, as the middle child, Shouhei was often sidelined for an older, more mature sibling, or a younger one that required the attention. More or less often, he was the one that looked after his younger siblings in lieu of his older and more troublesome brothers, attempting to drag them out of trouble whether by pleading with or threatening them. He often worried about them, particularly since there were no others beside him that looked after them.
School was an experience unto itself. His parents never demanded academical excellence from him, but he enjoyed learning, even if he was not particularly intelligent. He continued to follow his younger brothers throughout school once they started, in order to fulfill what he thought was his duty as the elder sibling, although he never experienced the same from his older brothers. He was, essentially, part of the backdrop, not skilled enough to catch anyone's eye, but not terrible enough to to be surprising, yet he was around when people least expect him, always willing to lend an ear.
In his spare time, he participates in a variety of extracurricular activities, although he isn't particularly skilled in any of them.

It's certain that whomever has attracted his attention will always be under his watchful eye. He'll buy them gifts, help them with whatever they're doing, always remember their birthdays and make sure that everyone else that their crush knows remembers it as well.

School Events:

- White Day
- Free Time Hang outs
It's finally the time for everyone's final say.
Students who fought for their love may have won their heart! Or face bitter disappointment.
Students who decide the one that was always there for them and fought for them was the better choice! But do they still feel the same?
In extension to Chapter 4: Decisions, the students can choose to experience an ending/relationship with the student they didn't choose in 'Decisions'.
How do we decide who chases after who?
All applications selected will have two love interests. Love interests will be decided between all RPers once character sheets and student positions are filled. Additionally, as we RP, we will be able to decide the final pairings where some succeed in pursuiting their original love interests while others fall back to the ones who already love them. In the alternate ending, you will be experience the reverse of that.
Example. Chapter 4 Ending: A&B are a couple. C&D are a couple. Alternate Ending: B&C are a couple. D&A are a couple.
What is the level of commitment?
There will always be one person online to RP with. It is recommended that you post daily with exceptions of busy days. Please be expected to check in at least bi-daily.
What platforms are we using?
A Discord server will be created for this RP.
Questions?
Please ask or suggest. I'm really happy to make things comfortable and good for all of us!
