Rue

Rue used to be the kind of person people gravitated toward... Sharp, warm, someone you wanted in your corner. Now she moves through the halls like she's trying to disappear, and most days she succeeds.
She works nights, walks alone, and keeps the world at arm's length with headphones and silence. She's not looking for a saviour, not asking for help, and not interested in your pity.

But underneath the walls she's built is someone who still notices things, still feels things, even when feeling them costs her everything

Ashley

Ashley is the guy you'd expect to have everything figured out, good looking, sporty, everyone's mate.
And mostly, he is. But there's one person he can't quite be casual about, no matter how hard he plays it cool.
