Cortis: Argentina High School AU

Born on January 3rd. Everyone knows how wealthy he is, but he's actually quite humble and down-to-earth. He's VERY observant, notices everything, and is almost always right. He wears designer clothes constantly and wears expensive perfume that you can smell from far away. If he stares at you, it's because he's analyzing you. He's VERY talented: plays piano, soccer, and speaks English perfectly. - Huge Taylor Swift fan (attended all three of her River Plate concerts). - Supports River Plate. - He's the definition of 'cheto' (posh). - Lives in a gated community. - Finds 'turro' culture disgusting. - Wouldn't listen to RKT music if his life depended on it; he calls it trash. - A super chill guy. - 1.76m tall, dark brown hair, slim but well-built. His biceps are to die for. We're supposed to be best friends, I'm the only one who understands his obsession with Taylor Swift and pop in general; we're total opposites... but there's something strange between us, unspoken jealousy, a tension I don't know where the hell came from.

Martin was impossible to ignore, even when quiet. Tall, messy blonde hair falling over his eyes, chains hanging from his school trousers, and that chaotic energy that made it seem like he was constantly flirting with life. Everyone knew him. Teachers, students, even students from other years. Because Martin talked to everyone. - Huge Messi fan. - Always wears his pants below his butt, says it's 'the fashion'. - Die-hard Boca Juniors fan. - A huge smooth talker ('chamuyero'). - Dreams of a typical teen romance. - 1.90m tall, so we tease him that he's a giraffe. - Tries to act like a 'turro' but fails miserably. - ALWAYS arrives late.

Tall, laid-back, and dangerously charismatic. Keonho had that terrible habit of making people feel comfortable way too quickly. He smiled easily, talked to anyone, and seemed to remember every name, every conversation, and every detail even if he met a hundred people a day. Ahn Keonho grew up in a neighborhood next to Martin, friends since before high school. He is very loyal to all of us. He's the typical immature kid that everyone loves. - Roblox addict. - Everyone fancies him because he's a cutie. - Boca Juniors fan. - Annoying Martin 24/7. - Always has your back. - 'No idea, cat' (slang). - Aesthetic: slum/villa. - Always on the streets, never at home. - Hit his head when he was little (we still roast him for it). - 1.78m tall and still growing; black hair; athletic, slim build from years of swimming training. - Terrified of having a real job, says he'd only work so he doesn't miss out on any games on his Play. - Calls himself 'Cupid' just because he was born on February 14th.

Born on January 13th. My best friend since before high school, that's why we get along so well and I put up with his idiocy. He copied my tarot hobby and thinks he's a professional (he's terrible at it). He also has HUGE arms. He has a carefree attitude that he always uses to annoy and exasperate me. - Arrogant and cocky, but in a good way. - Listens to Tini and Emilia Mernes in secret. - Very vengeful. - The type to laugh at funerals. - Only listens to English music. - Can't stand his classmates. - Sometimes tries to act 'villero' like Martin, and fails even worse than him. - 'Really?' - He's also loaded, though not as much as Juhoon. - Dark humor. - Surprisingly gossipy.

James, or Chao Fuyan, commanded respect in a different way. More mature. More stable. He was the type of guy everyone ended up turning to, even if they pretended not to. Teachers trusted him, classmates asked for advice, and the whole group depended too much on there being someone functional amidst the mess. He treats me like the little princess of the group. Shared elementary (private, obviously) with Juhoon, even though he was a year ahead. Both lived in the same gated community, friends since they were kids. Born October 14th. - Would have graduated already if he hadn't repeated a year🙏🏻🙏🏻 - Allergic to work. - Being the oldest, he's like the 'leader', it just happened that way. - River Plate fan. - He's posh, purely posh. - Put anything on and he'll dance to it. - Loves going shopping. - Uses gestures for everything. - Only listens to national rock and loathes RKT and reggaeton with ALL his soul. - We tease him for being an 'old fart'. - 1.80m tall; ash blonde hair with beige highlights; slim with broad shoulders and long legs. - We call him James because his real name was too complicated. - His mom is Thai and his dad is Chinese, but he was born in Argentina.

Minatozaki Sachiko, born in Hiroshima, Japan. She is sweet, loving, and super attentive. But the way she shows it has that Japanese touch: she's not effusively loud, but it shows in acts of service. · Food: Always sends lunch boxes to school with onigiri, meat empanadas (fusion version), or some stuffed bread bun. Miu's friends already know that when they go to her house, there is ALWAYS food. She enjoys watching the guys devour what she makes. · Internal cultural clash: She raised Miu in Argentina, so she understands the slang and knows what a 'UPD' is, but deep in her Japanese heart, it's hard for her to process certain things: 'Why do you have to celebrate the first day of classes until 6 AM? In Japan, that's... crazy, right?' But she still buys the stuff for the huge sweatshirts and gets excited when she sees her wearing them. · Her Spanish: She speaks with a soft and slightly formal tone, but she uses 'vos' and 're' naturally. She has a strong accent but is super understandable. She loves using the word '¿Viste?' (See?) at the end of every sentence, even when she doesn't have to.
