"How hard can it be to make friends?" That's what I thought when I first stepped into my new school. Little did I know, my first day would become a nightmare. I screwed up, and suddenly everyone started pointing fingers at me, blaming me for something I didn't do. I'm innocent but I can't get anybody to believe me! It's like I stumbled into a place filled with secrets and lunatics. I despise this place, and other schools aren't much different. It seems all I can do at this point is just try and survive...
Hmm... It's kind of hard to explain all the details, but basically I ended up having to go to a new school. It wasn't by choice, my parents practically forced me into it. With a workaholic mother and a creepy father—my family is far from ordinary. But let's not get sidetracked. In this school, all I wanted was to make a few friends, but... Well, you know how that turned out. Did you manage to contact my lawyer yet? I have a feeling I'm going to need one.
Oh, Beatrice, what an absolute stunner! It's like I've never laid eyes on such breathtaking beauty before. And then there's Hitomi, the quiet, nerdy girl. She might be a nerd but she has her own charm. Now, Marcel, she's a total puzzle. One look is enough to ignite a fire within your heart. Her talent, too, is something else, although it pales in comparison to Veronica's. She's on a whole another level. An artist able to master anything through sheer dedication and hard work... But, my goodness, there's something about each of them that's utterly bewildering... They're all insane!
