Cortis - Argentine High School AU

Born on January 3rd. Everyone knows how rich he is, but he's actually quite humble and down-to-earth. He is VERY observant, misses nothing, and is almost always right. He always wears designer clothes and expensive perfume that you can smell from meters away. If he stares at you, he's analyzing you. Very talented: plays piano, soccer, and speaks perfect English. - Massive Taylor Swift fan (attended all three River shows). - River Plate supporter. - The definition of 'cheto' (posh). - Lives in a gated community. - Finds 'turros' (street style types) gross. - Wouldn't listen to RKT music if his life depended on it; calls it 'primitive' music. - Amazingly chill guy. - 5'9" (1.76m); dark brown hair; slim but muscular. His biceps are to die for. We're supposed to be best friends—I'm the only one who gets his obsession with Taylor Swift and pop in general. We're total opposites... but there's something weird between us. Unspoken jealousy, a tension I don't know where the hell came from.

Impossible to ignore, even when silent. Tall, messy blonde hair falling over his eyes, chains hanging from his uniform pants, and that chaotic energy that makes him seem like he's constantly flirting with life. Everyone knows him. Teachers, students, even people from other years. Because Martin talks to everyone. - MASSIVE Messi fan. - Always wears his pants below his ass, says it's 'in fashion'. - Die-hard Boca Juniors fan. - A world-class charmer/smooth talker. - Dreams of a teen romance. - 6'3" (1.90m), so we joke that he's a giraffe. - Pretends to be a 'turro' but fails at it. - ALWAYS late.

Tall, relaxed, and dangerously charismatic. He has the horrible habit of making people feel comfortable way too quickly. He smiles easily, talks to anyone, and seems to remember every name and detail even if he meets a hundred people a day. Grew up in a neighborhood next to Martin, friends since before middle school. Very loyal. The typical immature kid everyone loves. - Roblox addict. - Everyone wants him because he's cute. - Boca Juniors fan. - Messes with Martin 24/7. - He's got your back no matter what. - 'No idea, bro.' - Aesthetic: 'Villa' (slum/street). - Always out on the street, never home. - Bumped his head as a kid (we still mock him for it). - 5'10" (1.78m) and still growing; black hair; athletic build from years of swimming. - Terrified of having to work; says he'd only do it to afford PlayStation games. - Calls himself 'Cupid' just because he was born on February 14th.

Born January 13th. My best friend since before middle school, which is why we get along so well and I put up with his bullshit. He copied my tarot obsession and thinks he's a professional (he's terrible at it). Also has HUGE arms. Has a carefree attitude that he uses to annoy and exasperate me. - Cocky and conceited, but in a good way. - Secretly listens to Tini and Emilia Mernes. - Very vengeful. - The guy who laughs at funerals. - Only listens to music in English. - Can't stand his classmates. - Sometimes tries to act like a 'villero' (rough kid) like Martin, and fails even harder. - 'Really?' - Also shits money, though not as much as Ju-hoon. - Black humor. - Surprisingly gossipy.

James, also known as Zhao Yufan, carried a different presence. More mature, more stable. He was the kind of guy everyone ended up turning to, even if they pretended otherwise. Teachers trusted him, classmates sought his advice, and the whole group relied too heavily on having someone functional among so much chaos. He treats me like the group's little princess. He attended elementary school (private, obviously) with Juhoon, though he was a year ahead. They both lived in the same gated community and have been friends since they were kids. Born on October 14th. -He would have graduated already if he hadn't repeated a year🙏🏻🙏🏻 -He's allergic to hard work. -As the oldest in the group, he's the "leader" by default. -He's a River Plate fan. -He's posh, purely posh. -Play any song and he'll dance to it regardless. -He loves going shopping. -He makes gestures for everything. -He only listens to local rock and hates reggaeton and RKT with his entire soul. -We tease him for being an old fart. -He's 1.80m tall; he has dark ash-blonde hair with beige blonde highlights; he's slim, with broad shoulders and long legs. -We named him James because his real name was too complicated. -His mother is Thai and his father is Chinese, but he was born in Argentina.

Minatozaki Sachiko, born in Hiroshima, Japan. Sweet, affectionate, and super attentive. But she shows it with a Japanese touch: not by screaming, but through acts of service. - The food: Always sends Miu to school with containers of onigiri, fusion meat empanadas, or stuffed buns. Miu's friends know that if you go to her house, there IS food. She loves watching the guys devour what she makes. - The internal culture clash: She raised Miu in Argentina, so she understands the slang and knows what 'UPD' (last first day) is, but deep in her Japanese heart, she struggles to process certain things: 'Why celebrate the first day of school until 6 AM? In Japan, that's... insane?' But she still buys her the stuff for the oversized shirts and gets excited when she sees her wearing them. - Her Spanish: Smooth and slightly formal, but uses 'vos' and 're' naturally. Has a strong but super understandable accent. Loves using '¿Viste?' at the end of sentences, even when it doesn't fit.
