Thank you for clicking on my story! This section will be completely about introducing our main characters and setting.
I will be including a Pinterest Collage that shows the vibe, and look, of all of them. There will also be a few representing the vibe of their relationships with each other.
If you don't prefer to imagine them the same way that is perfectly okay! If you're not interested you can either skip right past and figure things out along the way, or just read about their name, a bit of their backstory and traits, and ignore the pictures.
The boys all have someone I put as their character portrayal, but the girls are all faceless.
For our main girl, Emory, I have provided a few pictures that show similar body types to her because that is how she'll be described, but, as always, feel free to picture any of them differently!
Please keep in mind this story is rated mature. It will have mature language, mentions or descriptions of abuse, and intimate scenes. There will not be a warning before these occur. This is also a why choose. Meaning our main girl will have multiple love interests and she may not have to choose between them. There may be drinking, partying, smoking, and plenty more that may not be suitable for younger readers.
The college they will be attending is Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York.
I will be doing everything I can to make this story as accurate as possible to the real world, but please remember it is fiction. Some things may be changed to better fit the direction of the story or the characters.
Emory Jones (Em or Emmy) ; Brunette; 20
Transferring from small hometown college in FL.
Bad home life; Abusive father.
Introverted/Shy but very fun once she's comfortable.
More inexperienced/Sheltered because of her father. Wasn't allowed to go to friends' houses, didn't have the opportunity to drink and party like everyone else. Wasn't allowed to date or be alone with boys. Her father was very controlling over what she wore as well. She wasn't allowed to wear tight or short clothing and she often had to hide bruises from him in school.
Spent most of her time from the age of sixteen working in her local restaurant and saving tips in hopes of moving out at 18. Managed to get scholarships but couldn't yet afford to move out of state, so she stayed for the first two years at a local college with her father to secretly save scholarship money and her tips from waitressing.
The scholarship's remaining money rolled over each year and she managed to save enough to move to New York when she got accepted for her junior year at Syracuse. All her tuition, housing bills, and meal plans are officially paid by scholarships until she graduates as long as her grades stay above average.
