International
At 15 years old, y/n is living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, attending a prestigious international school while staying with a vetted expat guardian family on a secure compound. Her mom sent her there for what she called “global opportunity”: elite education, cultural exposure, and greater future options. But to y/n, it just feels like being sent away from home — away from her childhood, her two close friends back in Virginia, and the life she knew. She’s introverted, insecure in social spaces, and hyper‑aware of how she’s perceived, always cautious not to come off as lonely or awkward. She stays observant, reserved, and polite, navigating a world where everyone else seems confident and put‑together.
