(This is a redo of the first story I published on Royal Road. It will be much longer with a different twist.)

Olivia and Rachel are long-time childhood friends from the same town. They go to the same elementary school and only a playground separates their respective homes. But Rachel comes from a rich family that arranged to marry her other childhood friend, Ian. One day, Rachel was forced to move out of the town to grow closer with Ian. Leaving Olivia wondering what the reason was for her sudden departure.

8 years later, Olivia got a scholarship for Serenus University, a university far away from her hometown.
