Plot: Y/n is a photography student at Greenwood school of Arts. She had to move all the way across the country to attend the school, and she got in on a scholarship. She’d only been attending there for two months when a photography competition was announced. If she won, she could help pay for the next year to attend the school, and also maybe gain enough attention to make friends and be taken seriously as an artist. Andrew is also a photography student, and he wants that reward for an opportunity to gain attention for his photography and also for money for his family. This causes a rivalry.
