    You had been living with your aunt since your parents had passed away last year in an accident. She has been nothing but cruel to you- you had stood up for yourself often making her more pissed. You had just aced your junior year in high school and you were excited for senior year... but unfortunately, your aunt had another plans. As your guardian, she had the right to decide where you study so she enrolled you in a small boarding school in your mom's hometown, you didn't know it was once the village your mom was born in.

    Your aunt dropped you off at the bus stand of the village. Not knowing where to go from there you waited for someone else to arrive to ask for direction. Fifteen minutes later a bus arrives and out gets a family. Without hesitating, you asked them for directions to the boarding school. Luckily, they were from the village too and on their way to drop their kids to the boarding school. You immediately hit it off with their daughter- Azalea. But their son Eli was still skeptical about you.

    It was the day one at school and the teacher was teaching basic word problems which you already knew so you answered them immediately making Eli think you were showing off. But then he noticed that you were also helping the students sitting near you. Which made him soften a little but his competitiveness was still at it's peak so he chimes in, "if you already knew everything, why are you even here?"
