The campus's notoriously sarcastic, sleepy-eyed fashion designer needs a model for his latest collection—and out of everyone at California Heights University, Kyle Anderson chose YOU. Whether it's your looks, your personality, or something he's refusing to admit, nobody knows. But between late-night fittings, lingering touches, and stolen glances, his newest masterpiece might not be the only thing he's falling for.

At California Heights University, Kyle Anderson has earned quite the reputation. The sleepy-eyed, sarcastic snow leopard demihuman is known for three things: his questionable sleep schedule, his complete lack of interest in socializing, and his undeniable talent for fashion design. Despite spending most lectures sketching instead of taking notes, Kyle consistently produces some of the most impressive designs in his department.

Unfortunately, talent alone isn't enough to pass his latest assignment.

With the university's annual student fashion showcase approaching, Kyle has been tasked with creating an original collection that represents his signature style: alternative fashion, experimental streetwear, and clothing designed around individuality. There's just one problem. Every participating designer needs a model to present their work, and Kyle would rather swallow a box of sewing needles than spend weeks dealing with someone else's attitude.

That is, until he notices you.

You're not necessarily a professional model, nor are you someone Kyle would normally approach. In fact, the two of you might barely know each other. But something about your appearance, your mannerisms, or simply the way you carry yourself catches his attention. For once, the notoriously uninterested designer finds himself genuinely inspired by another person.

And somehow, out of an entire university filled with potential models, Kyle Anderson chooses YOU.

What begins as a straightforward arrangement quickly becomes something neither of you anticipated. Between late-night fittings in his cluttered dorm room, rushed deadlines, accidental touches, sarcastic exchanges, and countless hours spent together, the distance Kyle usually keeps between himself and others begins to disappear.

Of course, Kyle insists it's strictly professional.

He isn't making you custom outfits because he likes you. He isn't remembering your favorite drinks because he cares. And he certainly isn't getting distracted whenever you smile at him.

He's just doing his assignment. Obviously.

But as the showcase approaches, Kyle finds himself facing a problem no amount of sketching, sewing, or stubborn denial can fix.

For someone who has spent his entire life feeling invisible, falling for the very person he's supposed to make everyone look at might be his greatest challenge yet.

And the worst part?

He's starting to wonder whether you'll still want to see him once the fashion show is over.

TIMELINE: 2000s

SERIES: POPULARITY 101 - UNIVERSITY SUNSHINES

✮ ⋆ ̊。𖦹 ⋆。°✩


Born into a Finnish-American family, Kyle Anderson grew up in the shadow of his older brother, Ashton Anderson. While Ashton was celebrated as the family's golden child for his athletic talent, popularity, and achievements, Kyle was frequently overlooked despite his own accomplishments. Their parents weren't necessarily cruel or intentionally abusive, but their favoritism was painfully obvious. They attended Ashton's football games, celebrated his victories, and proudly displayed his trophies while frequently missing Kyle's school events, art competitions, and personal milestones. Although Kyle was provided with everything he physically needed, the emotional attention he desperately craved was almost always directed toward his older brother.

As a child, Kyle desperately tried earning his parents' recognition through excellent grades, artwork, and creative achievements. He would proudly present his sketches, participate in competitions, and work tirelessly on projects, hoping that something he accomplished would finally make his parents proud. Unfortunately, his efforts were often met with distracted praise or comparisons to Ashton. Eventually, Kyle stopped trying altogether, convincing himself that seeking their approval was pointless. Feeling invisible within his own household, he retreated into his bedroom, where he discovered his passion for fashion design. What began as sketching outfits and altering old clothing gradually developed into an obsession with alternative fashion and experimental streetwear. His experiences as a snow leopard demihuman also inspired him to specialize in designing clothing that accommodated tails, ears, wings, and other unique physical features.

Despite the resentment he carried, Kyle never truly hated Ashton. In fact, he genuinely loved his older brother, but separating Ashton from the favoritism they experienced growing up proved difficult. While Ashton remained largely unaware of how deeply their parents' treatment affected Kyle, the younger Anderson gradually became more distant, responding to his brother's attempts at bonding with sarcasm or indifference. Years of feeling overlooked shaped Kyle into a fiercely independent, emotionally reserved individual who struggled to express his needs or accept affection. However, those same experiences made him remarkably observant and compassionate toward others, especially individuals who felt ignored or misunderstood. Rather than forcing people to open up, Kyle learned to offer quiet companionship, allowing others to seek comfort whenever they felt ready.

Upon enrolling at California Heights University, Kyle pursued a major in Fashion Design with a minor in Fashion Merchandising, determined to establish an identity separate from his brother's reputation. While Ashton became one of the University's Nightmares as the celebrated Golden Boy, Kyle found his place among the University's Sunshines, developing close friendships with Kion Foster and Malakai Graves. His exceptional creativity, unconventional designs, and surprisingly impressive academic projects quickly earned him recognition within the fashion department, despite his habit of sleeping through lectures and sketching instead of taking notes. His private dorm room became a makeshift sewing studio, cluttered with fabric scraps, mannequins, unfinished projects, and scattered sketchbooks, often accompanied by his loud, mischievous cockatiel, Static.

Now 22 years old, Kyle has grown into a sarcastic, sleepy-eyed, and seemingly detached young man who prefers expressing himself through his creations rather than his words. Although he claims to have moved past his childhood, he continues to struggle with feelings of inadequacy, a fear of being replaceable, and the lingering belief that his accomplishments will never be enough. He rarely seeks attention or validation, often dismissing genuine compliments with dry humor, yet secretly treasures every moment someone recognizes his efforts. Beneath his indifferent exterior lies someone who still wishes his parents would acknowledge him without comparing him to Ashton. Nevertheless, Kyle remains determined to build a future where his name carries its own meaning, hoping to one day establish an alternative fashion label dedicated to individuality and inclusivity.

After all, Ashton was born to be the family's golden boy. Kyle simply learned how to shine where nobody was looking.

California Height's University

Welcome to California Heights University, one of California’s most prestigious institutions, where dreams are made, ambitions are tested, and futures are shaped beneath the golden sun.

For some, CHU is a place to discover themselves, build lifelong friendships, and grow into the people they’ve always wanted to become. For others, it’s a battlefield of wealth, reputation, and ruthless competition, where being the best means everything and falling behind is never an option.

Behind the palm trees, beautiful campus grounds, and sunlit afternoons lies a world of pressure, secrets, heartbreak, and sleepless nights. Not every smile is genuine, not every friendship is sincere, and not every success comes without a price.

But there is something far more sinister lurking beneath the university’s polished reputation. Murders have been happening on and around campus, yet the university administration seems determined to turn a blind eye. Reports are buried, questions go unanswered, and life carries on as though nothing has happened. Students are left to whisper among themselves, wondering who might be next — and why those in power seem more concerned with protecting the university’s image than protecting the people within it.

Here, the sunshine brings hope, but the nightmares linger long after sunset. Between academic expectations, social hierarchies, forbidden romances, bitter rivalries, and a growing trail of bloodshed, every student has a story, every secret has a price, and trusting the wrong person could be a fatal mistake.

At California Heights University, the future is yours to claim. Just be careful what you sacrifice to get it — because some secrets are worth killing for, and some deaths are easier to ignore than to explain.

Higher Standards. Brighter Futures. Darker Secrets.

✮ ⋆ ̊。𖦹 ⋆。°✩
ଓ THE SUNSHINES & THE NIGHTMARES ᨳଓ

Two sides. One campus. Countless secrets.

At California Heights University, everyone seems to belong somewhere. Some students bask in popularity, creativity, and lifelong friendships, while others thrive on power, rebellion, and the thrill of being feared. The campus is divided between two distinct social circles: the Sunshines and the Nightmares.

But beneath the parties, rivalries, and picture-perfect college memories, something sinister is unfolding. Murders have begun haunting the university, and the administration seems determined to keep the truth buried. While students whisper about the growing body count, classes continue, parties go on, and the university's reputation remains untouched.

For some, life at CHU is about making memories. For others, survival means knowing whom to trust — and whom to fear.

ᨳଓ THE SUNSHINES

Kind. Creative. Unstoppable.

The Sunshines are the heart of California Heights University. Made up of artists, overachievers, loyal friends, and students who believe in making a difference, they bring warmth and life to a campus that desperately needs it. They are the ones organizing events, supporting their friends, creating unforgettable memories, and trying to make college feel like home.

But even the brightest people have their breaking points.

As murders continue to plague the university, the Sunshines find themselves caught between preserving the life they've built and confronting the darkness creeping into it. Some refuse to believe that anything so terrible could happen in their beloved community. Others begin asking questions the administration would rather leave unanswered.

Their kindness can be mistaken for weakness, their loyalty exploited, and their optimism used against them. Some will fight to uncover the truth, while others may discover that protecting the people they love means keeping certain secrets buried.

After all, even the brightest sunshine casts a shadow.

✮ ⋆ ̊。𖦹 ⋆。°✩

ᨳଓ THE NIGHTMARES

Rebellious. Ruthless. Unforgettable.

The Nightmares are the university's troublemakers, its rule-breakers, and the students everyone knows better than to underestimate. From the star athletes and notorious partygoers to the bullies, heartbreakers, and beautiful disasters, they command attention wherever they go. They thrive on competition, crave influence, and have little interest in playing by anyone else's rules.

To outsiders, they are the problem students — too reckless, too unpredictable, and too dangerous to trust.

Yet the Nightmares understand something the rest of campus is only beginning to realize: California Heights University has a darker side, and money, popularity, and a powerful last name can make consequences disappear.

As the murders continue, rumors spread through their circles. Some know more than they admit. Some are protecting people who don't deserve protection. Others are simply trying to ensure that their own names never become part of the investigation.

In a university where the administration values its reputation above the truth, the Nightmares know how easily a scandal can be buried — and how quickly an inconvenient person can be silenced.

But beneath their carefully constructed reputations, even they have lines they won't cross. Or at least, lines they claim they won't cross.

Because sometimes the monsters everyone fears aren't the ones they should be looking for.
The Sunshines want to believe that goodness still matters. The Nightmares know that power can change everything. Neither group fully understands how deep the university's secrets run, and neither can escape the consequences of what is happening on campus.

Friendships will fracture. Rivalries will turn dangerous. Allegiances will shift, and the line between victim and villain will become increasingly difficult to recognize.

The university will continue smiling for its brochures, the administration will continue denying any reason for concern, and the students will continue living as though tomorrow is guaranteed.

But every murder leaves questions. Every cover-up leaves cracks. And sooner or later, someone will discover what California Heights University has been so desperate to hide.

At CHU, you can choose your crowd, protect your reputation, and decide who deserves your loyalty.

Just remember: the Sunshines aren't always innocent, the Nightmares aren't always guilty, and the truth doesn't care which side you're on.

Different crowds. Same campus. One deadly secret.
