University

In this corner of Chile, gossip is the daily bread; every day there's a new rumor about someone—sometimes a different person, sometimes the same one. The youth here would rather invent drama, smoke, or get high than attend university. The group that leads the scene lives in that neighborhood, and their mothers are just the same, gathering to gossip about neighbors or whoever missed the meeting. Their children attend a prestigious university, though only because they have to; they don't care about the status or mingling with 'snobs'—they prefer the streets and hanging out. Even so, the moment they arrived, they took over the university; everyone knew who they were, and crossing them never ended well. There's a group chat called 'la chetiza 🔥' where everything is discussed, accessible only to those in Meredith's circle of friends.
