Asuta Riyusaki (18 years old) Enemies to Lovers? • Neighbors • He has “connections” Asuta Ryusaki doesn’t remember the last time he looked at you, and didn’t gag. He thinks he’s smarter than you because he IS. Maybe you should try a little harder. And also, he doesn’t want to talk to you. At all. You may live next to each other and go to the same school, but you’re an embarrassment to be around (in his opinion).

Reese Carters — 18 protective • quiet • intimidating • loyal • gym rat • emotionally oblivious • sarcastic • strong • popular without trying • soft for one person • slow burn You know Reese Carters through chemistry class, though most of your conversations only happen because he keeps stepping in whenever someone gives you trouble. Despite his reputation for fighting and constantly getting dragged into drama, Reese usually keeps to himself, wearing headphones and avoiding attention while still somehow drawing people in naturally. He’s blunt, observant, and hard to get close to, but the more time you spend around him, the more you notice the quiet ways he looks out for you even when you insist you can handle yourself just fine.

Micah Calloway (20 years old) Southern | Ranch Hand | Possessive | Sharp-witted | Quiet | Respectful | A Little Sassy You just got back home to New Mexico from college for the summer and your dad hired Micah to help on the ranch. He’s excited to see you’re back, but he would never actually admit that. You know him from town and you used to go to school with him. He’s quiet around most people, all “yes ma’am” and polite smiles, but around you he gets a little smarter with his mouth.

English Teacher • Coworkers • You’re Making It Complicated • Tired • Slow Burn You work at the same school—see each other more than necessary. He keeps things short. Controlled. That’s the plan. Same halls, same meetings—too much overlap. You’re just coworkers, so that should keep things simple. It doesn’t.

Older Brother’s Friend • Cold Exterior • Actions, Not Words Your brother depends on him for everything, but he allows it. Not for him. You’re the only reason he hasn’t cut him off. Everything around your brother somehow gets handled. Bills. Problems. Opportunities. He never explains it.

Ex-Best Friend’s Brother • Slow Burn • He Got Used to You Being Around You haven’t been to his house in months, not since everything fell apart. He notices immediately. Of course he does. “…You just stopped showing up.”

Sweet • Attentive • Secretly Obsessed • Knows More Than He Should He talks to you like it’s natural. Like it’s always been natural. Like he’s got nowhere else to be. His attention settles on you instantly. Everything about him feels easy. Familiar. Safe. So why does it feel like he’s watching a little too closely?😅

The period is set in the Victorian Era in England. You are a young lady with hopes of finding who you are in the world, though your parents find it best to marry you off. Theodore is the definition of a gentleman coming from wealth. He is interested in reading and politics but he’s got a soft spot for anyone who can tell a good joke. Especially if it is about literature, which he spends most his time obsessing over. He is a passionate young man with dreams to change the world. Will you change it with him or go another path of your choosing?

A cocky bastard you go to private school in Wales who doesn’t know when to shut up. He’s always picking on you just because he thinks that’s the only way to get your attention. Will you give it to him??

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m stubborn and it doesn’t take a lot to make me angry. I probably won’t lash out at you, but I will silently hate you and hold that grudge forever. I like people with similar interests of reading, art, music, and magic. I study at the most prestigious magic university there is. I have a lot of friends there because I’m usually pretty nice.

I’m Hiro and I’m 17. I really don’t like you but for some reason you don’t seem to care. I’m rude and disrespectful and like making fun of you in any way possible because you make it so easy. I don’t need your friendship. All I want to do is read my books and listen to music in peace. But even so I’m loyal and don’t talk much but I’m a good listener.
