Alice had never attended school, never sat at a desk, and never heard the ringing of the bell. From a young age, her mother taught her at home, away from the typical noisy classrooms filled with the atmosphere of ordinary school life. Her mother was a woman of strong character and unwavering belief in her ideas. She always believed that knowledge could be acquired outside of school, and in her home, learning turned into an exciting journey. Alice spent her evenings with books in her old room, imagining that one day her life would be as bright and eventful as her sister's.

Alice's father was a hardworking man who took on several jobs to provide for his family. Despite his fatigue, he always found time to support Alice and her sister, sharing captivating stories of his adventures. His dedication and commitment to the family inspired Alice, and she dreamed of making him proud one day with her achievements.

Her sister had moved to the capital, conquered the bustling, glittering city, and even opened her own business - an accomplishment that Alice had dreamed of since she learned to dream. She always admired her sister’s success, her courage, and how easily she seemed to achieve her goals. Sometimes Alice would hear neighbors say, "If only Alice were like that." Those words became something more than mere comparison - they pushed Alice, inspiring her to strive for her dreams.

As soon as the opportunity arose, Alice headed to the capital. At first, she lived with her sister, who welcomed her with open arms, but it wasn't without its challenges - the big city turned out to be not as simple as she had imagined. Alice enrolled in college, but it was a real test. Because of her home education, she found it difficult to get accepted, and after a long search, they found a college with somewhat strange rules. To study there, she had to sign some mysterious contract, which placed additional obstacles in her way.

Thus began her journey of self - discovery, a quest to step out of her family's shadow and face the big world filled with dangers and unexpected encounters. Alice was full of hope and determination to overcome all the difficulties that awaited her in this new stage of life.

Alice: Lily! You have no idea how happy I am to see you! It's been such a long time!

Lily: Alice! I'm so glad too! You've grown up so much! How do you feel?

Alice: I feel a bit nervous. I've been dreaming about coming here and seeing you all this time.

Lily: I remember you said you wanted to study and live in the capital. How was it?

Alice: Oh, it was tough. I was homeschooled, and getting into college was a real challenge. But now I'm here, and that's what matters!

Lily: You did it! I knew you could! And what do you think of our city?

Alice: It's just amazing! Everything is so bright and noisy. I can't wait to start exploring it!

Lily: Yes, this is just the beginning! We have so many interesting places to explore.

Lily: Come on, let me show you the house.

Lily: Come on, I'll show you the house. Let's start with your room!

Lily: This is your room. I decorated it in light colors so that you would feel cozy.

Alice: It's so cute! I just love this color!

Lily: I knew you would like it. Now, let's take a look at the bathroom.

Alice: Oh, it's so spacious here! And what a nice bathtub!

Lily: Yes, you can really relax here after a long day.

Alice: I agree! Now show me your room!

Lily: Here is my room. I fuck guys here sometimes.

Alice: Oh, really? Um... that’s... interesting...

Lily: Yes, I try to keep the romance alive when I can.

Alice: That's great, I'm happy for you...

Lily: Thanks! Now let's check out the kitchen.

Alice: Oh, there's so much light! I love to cook, and this kitchen is just perfect!

Lily: Yes, we have all the necessary supplies. We can cook together!

Alice: Sounds great!

Lily: Now, the last stop — the backyard!

Alice: Wow! It's so beautiful! I love nature!

Lily: It's a great place to spend time on sunny days. We have loungers, so you can sunbathe!

Alice: Oh, that’s wonderful! I love sunbathing!

Lily: Yes, we can have a picnic and just relax in the sun.

Alice: I'm so excited! Thank you, Lily, for showing me the house!

Lily: You're welcome! I hope you like it here!

Lily: And by the way, here is your college form and tomorrow morning you need to go sign the contract.

Alice: OK, thank you!

(Now we need to unpack our suitcases.)

(30 minutes have passed.)

Alice's Thoughts: I've sorted out my things, now I can try on my college uniform.

Alice's Thoughts: It’s as if the skirt is too short, but what do I know, this is my first time going to an educational institution.

Lily: I decided to check if my ass fits into the new uniform?

Alice: Damn, you scared me.

Lily: ahaha, I just wanted to say that dinner is ready.

Alice: Okay, I'll change and come

Lily: I'll wait here, what should I do there myself?

(Alice looked at Lily confused)

Lily: Come on, what didn’t I see there, we lived in the same room for 18 years

(After a few seconds of silence, Lily comes up and hides Alice's blouse)

Alice: Hey what are you doing

Lily: Will consider this a new rule, you can’t be shy in this house.

Lily: I'm still waiting in the kitchen.

(Alice changes clothes and goes to dinner and then goes to bed.)

Alice's Thoughts: Lily didn't show me the basement, everything is so scattered here.

Alice's Thoughts: I'll have to ask her about this.

Alice's Thoughts: Need to talk to Lily about the basement.

Alice: Hi, Lily! How are you?

Lily: Hi, Alice! I'm good, thanks. How about you?

Alice: I'm great too. But I have a question. Why didn't you show me the basement when you were showing me the house?

Lily: Well, it's not like there was anything special down there.

Lily: I just thought you wouldn't want to see it. It's a bit... neglected.

Lily: But if you want, you can go down there and clean it up and do whatever you like.

Alice: Whatever I like?

Lily: Yes, even orgies.

Alice: Okay, I'll see what interesting things can be done.

Lily: But if you still do orgies, don’t forget to call me.

(Alice hurriedly leaves Lily's room)

(Alice carefully descended the creaky stairs and looked around. The basement was dark, dampness filled every corner, and the smell of mold mixed with stale air. The floor was covered with a layer of grime and old, dust-covered items, while cobwebs hung from the ceiling, as if time itself had frozen here.)

Alice's Thoughts: I haven’t figured out what I can do here yet, but I think it’s worth cleaning up here first.

(60 minutes have passed.)

Alice's Thoughts: There’s a lot of furniture here, I can’t move it myself, I’ll have to find someone, but for now I’ll leave it all like this

Alice's Thoughts: I can’t take out this furniture on my own, I need to find someone to help me.

Alice: Hi, David! I have a small favor to ask.

David: Hi, Alice. Sure, how can I help?

Alice: I’m trying to tidy up the basement, but there’s so much stuff piled up that I definitely can’t do it alone. Could you help me carry out a few things?

David: Of course, I’ll help! When would be a good time to start?

Alice: Tomorrow after school, at my place.

David: Sounds good, I’ll be there.

Director: Welcome, Alice! I’m the director of this college. We’re glad to have you here.

Alice: Thank you. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m a bit nervous.

Director: That’s completely normal. The first day is always a bit overwhelming. Let me introduce my assistant director, Ms. Jessica Harper. She’ll help you with the formalities.

Jessica Harris: Hello, Alice. It’s nice to meet you. I’m here to answer any questions you might have and to help you through this process.

Alice: Thank you, Ms. Harper. I guess you handle all the paperwork?

Jessica Harris: That’s right. I also make sure all students feel comfortable here. Today, we’ll sign a contract that will outline your involvement in the college’s programs.

Director: The contract is our tradition. We believe each student has a unique path, and this document is the first step. It will open up many new opportunities for you.

Alice: Opportunities? What exactly does that mean?

Jessica Harris: They can vary greatly—from research projects to creative labs. The contract will help guide you to what suits you best.

Director: Exactly. It’s a kind of guiding star. So, are you ready to sign?

(Although Alice didn’t quite like the fact that she had to sign some kind of agreement, she had no other choice.)

Alice's Thoughts: I don’t have the money to go to a more prestigious college, and because I studied at home for free, they won’t take me anywhere except this college.

Alice: Yes, I’m ready.

(Alice approaches the director’s desk, there was already a folder with a contract there. She didn’t delve much into the points that were written there and quickly put her signature..)

Jessica Harris: Wonderful! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.

Director: Welcome aboard, Alice. This is only the beginning of your journey.

Jessica Harris: First lesson tomorrow at 9 am.

Alice: Okay, goodbye.

Lily: Hey, Alice! How did it go? Did you sign the contract?

Alice: Hi, Lily! Yeah, I did. It was a bit overwhelming, but I'm glad I went.

Lily: That’s great! Were they nice to you?

Alice: Yes, the director was really professional, and his assistant was super helpful. They explained everything clearly.

Lily: That’s reassuring! Were there any surprises in the contract?

Alice: Just a few details I wasn't expecting, but nothing too crazy. Overall, I feel good about it.

Lily: I’m so happy for you! What’s next?

Alice: I think I’ll start classes next week. I can’t wait to meet new people!

Lily: You’ll do great!

Alice: Definitely! Thanks, Lily. I appreciate it.

Alice's Thoughts: Today is the first day of college, you must not be late.

(Alice puts on her uniform and goes to college without even having breakfast)

Alice sat down at her desk, feeling a slight thrill — this was her very first class in college. The classroom gradually filled with other new students, and there was an atmosphere of anticipation in the air. She chose a seat next to a friendly girl named Sophia, and they exchanged greetings right away.

When everyone had settled, the teacher, Ella White, stepped up to the front. She warmly welcomed the class and announced that, before diving into their first history lesson, they would start with introductions. Each student was given a chance to introduce themselves and share a bit about their background. Ella shared stories from her own life, helping everyone feel more at ease. This lesson wasn’t just about the past — it was about building new connections, and Alice realized that a world of exciting possibilities awaited her in college.

Alice: Hi! My name is Alice, it’s my first day in your class. I thought it would be nice to get to know someone here.

Ella: Hm, Alice, right? Well, good luck. Everyone here already knows each other.

Alice: I understand, but I’m still interested in meeting new people. What’s your name?

Ella: Ella. But that probably doesn’t mean much to you—everyone in our class knows who I am.

Alice: That’s cool! I hope I’ll get to know everyone soon too. What are you interested in?

Ella: Interested? In a lot of things. But honestly, I prefer to talk to people who at least stand out a bit. So… we’ll see what kind of person you are.

Alice: Got it. Well, thanks for the introduction, Ella. I’m sure we’ll talk again.

Ella: Maybe. We’ll see.

(Alice nods and leaves, noticing a couple of other guys nearby who smile warmly at her. She decides to get to know them, feeling that among her other classmates there may be more friendly guys.)

Alice: Hi! You must be Bella? My name is Alice, it’s my first day in class.

Bella: Hi, Alice! Yes, I’m Bella. Welcome to our class! How are you finding it here?

Alice: Thanks! So far, everything’s interesting, but a little nerve-wracking. It would be nice to get to know someone better.

Bella: I understand. Switching to a new school is never easy. But don’t worry; everyone here is generally friendly. You can always come to me if you need anything!

Alice: That would be great! I already talked to one girl… Ella.

Bella: Oh, Ella. She can seem a bit… arrogant. But that’s just her way of talking.

Alice: Got it, thanks for the heads-up! It’s much easier to talk to you, Bella.

Bella: Glad to help! If you want, you can join us during the break.

Alice: Great idea! Thanks a lot, Bella.

Bella: You’re very welcome, Alice. I’ll be happy if you find friends here!

Alice: Hi! You must be David? My name is Alice, I’m new in class.

David: Hi, Alice! Yes, I’m David. Nice to see you. How's your first day going?

Alice: Thanks! It’s a bit nerve-wracking, but overall interesting. I’m trying to get used to the new faces and the environment.

David: I understand. A new school can be a little intimidating. If you need any help, just let me know!

Alice: Thank you, that’s very kind of you! I’ve already met some of the guys, but I'm still learning to remember names.

David: Don’t worry, that’s normal. I mixed up names at first too.

Alice: Got it. So, what are you into, David?

David: I’m into sports, especially football. We often play after school. What about you?

Alice: I enjoy drawing and reading. If I get the chance, I might show you my work.

David: That would be great! If you want, come play with us during break.

Alice: Great idea! Thanks for the invitation, David. I’d love to chat.

David: No problem, Alice! Looking forward to it!

Alice: Hi! You must be Logan? My name is Alice, and I'm new in the class.

Logan: Hi, Alice! Yes, I'm Logan. Nice to meet you! How is your first day going?

Alice: Thanks! It's interesting overall, but a little scary. I'm trying to get to know everyone.

Logan: That's normal! We've all been in your shoes. If you need help or just want to chat, let me know.

Alice: Thank you, that's very kind of you!

Logan: Yeah, they're great people. What are you interested in?

Alice: I love drawing. What do you do in your free time?

Logan: I'm into science, especially biology. I could talk for hours about different plants and animals! Are you interested in anything scientific?

Alice: Actually, yes! I love drawing nature. Maybe you could show me something interesting in class?

Logan: Of course! I'm always happy to share my knowledge. If you want, we can chat during the break.

Alice: That sounds great! Thanks for the invitation, Logan.

Logan: No problem! I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

Alice: Hi! You must be Ethan? My name is Alice, and I’m new to the class.

Ethan: Yes, that’s me. Nice to meet you. I hope you can handle our high standards.

Alice: Thanks! It’s interesting but a bit scary. I’m trying to get used to the new environment.

Ethan: Don’t worry, that’s normal. Everyone has been in your shoes. If you need help, just let me know.

Alice: Thank you, that’s really nice of you!

Ethan: Yeah, I’m always ready to help, especially when it comes to something interesting. By the way, you’re not the first one trying to get to know me. Many girls are interested in me.

Alice: Oh, really? That sounds a bit arrogant.

Ethan: Well, it’s just the truth. I play sports and live an active lifestyle. It attracts attention.

Alice: Got it! What do you do in your free time?

Ethan: I love basketball. We often play after school. And of course, I enjoy spending time with girls. If you want, you can come join us for a game; I can show you a few tricks.

Alice: That sounds interesting! I’ve never played basketball, but I’ve always wanted to try.

Ethan: You should give it a shot! I’m sure you’ll do great. And if you need it, I can give you a few tips.

Alice: Thanks for the invitation, Ethan. I hope I can do well.

Ethan: No problem! I’ll be happy to help, especially if you become one of those interested in me.

Alice: Hi! You must be Luna? My name is Alice, and I’m new to the class.

Luna: Hi, Alice! Yes, I’m Luna. Welcome to our class! How are you finding it so far?

Alice: Thank you! It’s interesting, but a little overwhelming. I’m trying to adjust to everything.

Luna: I get it! Starting at a new school can be tough. Just take your time to get to know everyone.

Alice: I appreciate that! I’ve met a few people, but I still have a lot of names to remember.

Luna: Don’t worry about it. I was the same way when I first started. You’ll get the hang of it!

Alice: Thanks! So, what do you like to do in your free time?

Luna: I’m really into art and photography. I love capturing moments and creating new pieces.

Alice: That sounds amazing! I enjoy drawing too. Maybe we could share some of our work?

Luna: Absolutely! I’d love to see what you create. Art is such a great way to express yourself.

Alice: I agree! Thanks for being so welcoming, Luna.

Luna: Anytime, Alice! If you ever want to talk or need help, just let me know.

Alice: Hi! You must be Kate? My name is Alice, and I’m new in class.

Kate: Hi, Alice! Yes, I’m Kate. Nice to see you! How’s your first day going?

Alice: Thank you! It’s a bit nerve-wracking, but overall interesting. I’m trying to get used to the new environment.

Kate: I understand. Moving to a new school is never easy. Don’t worry, everyone here is friendly.

Alice: That’s great to hear! I’ve already met some people, but I’m still learning their names.

Kate: Don’t worry; it’s normal! I had trouble with names when I first came, too.

Alice: Thank you for the support! What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Kate: I love music and play the guitar. I enjoy writing my own songs. What about you?

Alice: I like drawing and reading. Maybe if I get a chance, I can show you my work.

Kate: You’re always welcome! I’ll be glad if you find friends here!

Alice: Hi! You must be Emily? My name is Alice, and I’m new in class.

Emily: Hi, Alice! Yes, I’m Emily. Nice to meet you! How’s your first day going?

Alice: Thank you! It’s a bit nerve-wracking but interesting. I’m trying to get used to the new faces and environment.

Emily: I understand. A new school can always be a bit tricky. If you need any help, just let me know!

Alice: Thanks, that’s really nice of you! I’ve already met some people, but I’m still learning their names.

Emily: That’s normal! I mixed up names when I first got here, too. So don’t worry.

Alice: Thanks for your support! What are your hobbies, Emily?

Emily: I’m into theater and love performing on stage. It’s so much fun! What about you?

Emily: No problem! I’d be happy to see you at rehearsals!

Alice: Hi, Sophia! How are you? It’s nice to see you during the break!

Sophie: Hi, Alice! I’m good, thanks. How’s your day going?

Alice: Thanks! It’s a bit nerve-wracking, but overall interesting. I’m trying to get to know everyone.

Sophie: I understand. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Alice: Thanks, that’s very nice of you! I’ve already talked to David.

Sophie: Oh, yeah, David is my brother. He often talks about his friends, especially about sports.

Alice: That’s great! He seems really friendly. What are your interests?

Sophie: I love drawing and photography. It helps me relax.

Alice: I love drawing too! Maybe we can exchange ideas sometime?

Sophie: Of course! It would be great to chat more during the next break.

Alice: Sounds like a plan! Thanks for sharing, Sophia.

Sophie: Anytime! See you later!

Alice: Ella, listen... Do you happen to know where you can get a job?

Ella: No.

Alice: OK.

Alice: Bella, listen... Do you happen to know where you can get a job?

Bella: Ask Ella, her father owns a hotel, she arranged for me too.

Bella: True, a cleaner, if you are not afraid of such work.

Alice: This is certainly not my dream job, but now I definitely won’t refuse this opportunity.

Bella: Yes, I had the same situation, but some clients give very good tips, so this work is enough for me to live in this city.

Alice: Tips? Shouldn't you clean up after clients?

Bella: Well, in general it is necessary after the clients, but one time one of the clients forgot to change the sign.

Bella: I went into the room and there was a naked man there, and in the end he gave me a 100$ tip.

Bella: Therefore, if you do get a job, I advise you to sometimes go into occupied rooms, you can earn good money.

Alice: Thanks, I'll go talk to Ella again.

Alice: David, listen... Do you happen to know where you can get a job?

David: Alice, I'm sorry, but, to be honest, I don't know where you can get a job.

Alice: OK, thank you.

Alice: Logan, listen... Do you happen to know where you can get a job?

Logan: Alice, I'm sorry, but, to be honest, I don't know where you can get a job.

Alice: OK, thank you.

Alice: Ethan, listen... Do you happen to know where you can get a job?

Ethan: Well, we can go to the toilet, I’ll pay 50$, but this is not a job for every day.

Alice: No thanks, that's not the kind of job I'm looking for.

Ethan: Well, you didn't specify which one you were looking for.

Alice: Definitely not like that.

Alice: Luna, listen... Do you happen to know where you can get a job?

Luna: Alice, I'm sorry, but, to be honest, I don't know where you can get a job.

Alice: OK, thank you.

Alice: Emily, listen... Do you happen to know where you can get a job?

Emily: Alice, I'm sorry, but, to be honest, I don't know where you can get a job.

Alice: OK, thank you.

Alice: Kate, listen... Do you happen to know where you can get a job?

Kate: Alice, I'm sorry, but, to be honest, I don't know where you can get a job.

Alice: OK, thank you.

Alice: Sophie, listen... Do you happen to know where you can get a job?

Sophie: I don’t know right now, but it looks like the cafe will need a waitress starting next month.

Alice: OK, thank you.

Alice's Thoughts: You will need to go to a cafe at the end of the month and ask about work.

Alice's Thoughts: But now it would be nice to find a job for at least half a day.

Alice: Hello again, Bella said that you can help me get a job as a cleaner at a hotel.

Ella: Well, let’s say I can, but what will it do for me?

Alice: I don't know, I can do my homework instead of you.

Ella: Homework and also complete any of my assignments.

Alice: What task?

Ella: I haven’t figured it out yet, but you should agree now.

Alice's Thoughts: I definitely won’t find another job before the end of the month, but now I need to get money somewhere.

Alice: Okay, I agree. I hope this will be an adequate task.

Ella: I will think.

Ella: Go to the hotel and talk to the girl at the reception and say that you are from me.

Alice: Thanks for your help.

Ella: Yes yes, go already.

Alice: Hello, I came to inquire about the cleaning position. Do you have any openings?

Administrator: Hello. Unfortunately, at the moment, we don’t have any vacancies. We’ve already filled all our cleaning staff positions and aren’t planning to expand.

Alice: And if I told you that I’m here on a recommendation from Ella?

Administrator: From Ella, you say?

Alice: Yes, she advised me to come here specifically, saying that you offer good conditions and value those who are organized and diligent.

Administrator: If Ella recommended you, that changes things.

Administrator: All right, if Ella is vouching for you, we can give you a chance. We don’t have an open cleaning position yet, but I can take you on for a trial period.

Alice: Thank you very much! I won’t let you down.

Administrator: You’ll need to change in the staff room on the first floor. It’s located to the left of the elevators. There are lockers for employees—take one of the available ones.

Alice: Got it, thank you for the information!

Administrator: Start tomorrow at 1:00 PM. Come by my desk, and I’ll go over what needs to be done.

Alice: I’ll be here. Thank you again!

Administrator: Good luck, Alice.

(Alice changes clothes and goes to clean the room)

(Alice enters a room with an occupied sign and sees a naked girl in the room.)

Anna: Hey, what are you doing here?

Alice: Sorry, I just came to clean up. You forgot to put up a sign.

Anna: It's strange, I think I hung it up.

Alice: I'll go then, sorry again.

Anna: But, you can clean the room, just let me get dressed.

Alice: Okay.

Anna: Do you happen to study at our college?

Alice: I am studying, I entered this year.

Anna: Can I ask you for help?

Alice: Well I think so.

Anna: Last year, one of the girls who studied at this college disappeared.

Anna: The college administration denies any involvement in the disappearance.

Anna: The police could not find either the girl or any clues as to what could have happened to her.

Alice: Yes, this is a scary situation, but how can I help?

Anna: You also signed a contract before entering college?

Alice: Yes, of course I didn’t like it, but I don’t have the opportunity to go to another college.

Anna: And it seems strange to me that you need to sign a contract in which students agree to some unique experiments.

Alice: Well, do the police know about this contract?

Anna: Yes, but they say that this is a college rule and they have the right to it.

Alice: But I still don't understand how I can help.

Anna: We need you to sneak into the director's office and gain access to his laptop.

Alice's Thoughts: I want to help, but what if I get caught? I’ll definitely be kicked out and what should I do next?

Alice: But if they catch me, they'll kick me out

Anna: I'll pay for any other college for you, even if it doesn't work out.

Alice's Thoughts: This is a good chance to go to another college, and even if I stay, suddenly the same thing will happen to me as with that girl.

Alice: What exactly do I need to do?

Anna: We need to insert this flash drive into the director’s laptop, most likely the password is there, so we need to find out it.

Anna: Then you bring me this flash drive and I will tell you what to do next.

Alice: Okay, I'll try to do everything.

Anna: Thank you very much for agreeing to help me.

Alice: I just don’t want anyone else to end up in a situation like that girl, or maybe even me.

Leave
