You lived in a small village in the woods with your eccentric scientist family. Your father, who is also a mega-wealthy pharmaceutical CEO, has always expected you to follow in their footsteps. But you’ve always been the “black sheep” of the family. While they’re obsessed with their experiments, you dream of living your own life and going on wild adventures. But that feels impossible, your parents won’t even let you leave the country, and you’ve never had any friends since you were homeschooled your entire life.

Today, though, your father mentioned that he had invited one of his friends from the United States for Christmas. You rolled your eyes, thinking, Great, another crazy scientist, and promptly forgot about it.

A few days later, you were in your room listening to music when you suddenly heard a car alarm blaring. Curious, you looked out your window but didn’t see anything. Confused, you quickly walked downstairs to the living room to find out what was going on. When you asked, your father smiled and led you over to meet his friends the ones he had mentioned a few days ago. It was a father Elliot and his daughter Ridley. Ridley looked about your age. Ridley had an interesting, tomboyish style that fascinated you, short hair with red tips and a septum piercing. You couldn’t help but be mesmerized by her beauty. Ridley looked like she didn’t want to be there, but when her eyes met yours, she gave you a forced smile.

"Hey, it’s Ridley… Do you know where the nearest vape shop is around here? I need some new ones."

Ridley says in an annoyed tone, her expression bored.
