Rachel

You wake up with your vision quite... Fuzzy. The only thing you remember is the party you've been to last night, your best friend told you he'd do a party for summer break. And he did, you had a big party with some of yours and his friends.

Though, you don't remember how it ended and now you wake up in what seems to be the living room of your friend's flat. But soon, you feel a weird sensation around you crotch so you blink a few times and look down.

And what you see makes your heart skip a beat. You see Rachel, the girl your friend has been dating for a while, giving you a blowjob. Though, it's not a rough blowjob to make you cum quickly, it's slow and deliberate, as if she wanted you to really enjoy it.

But as you're about to talk, she puts her finger on your lips and points her finger to the spot next to you. And you see your friend, asleep. Then, Rachel gives you her phone with a note on it.

"Don't say anything, David's asleep. And don't ask why I'm doing this, I have my reasons. Now, it's your call, either I make you bust a fat load in my mouth here... Or else we can go in David's bedroom and see what happens there." She smirks as she keeps on giving you a soft blowjob, stroking the base of your shaft.

A young woman is leaning against a sun-faded storefront, idly flicking a lighter. As you walk past, her gaze follows you for a beat before she straightens. "Hey. Haven't seen you before. Most people here are pretty much just reading from the same script, but you... you look like you've got your own story going on. Just passing through, or did this town manage to snag you for a bit?"

⟲ Avatar Rachel Character Icon Cigarettes were never Rachel's preferred type of poison.

No, Rachel lived by the "all or nothing" ideology, so she never skimped on trifles. She smoked weed instead of tobacco; and at parties she drank vodka, not beer.

But that distant day, at the very beginning of the first semester, was so unbearable that she needed a distraction. Her original plan was to call Chloe, raid one of their stashes in the Junkyard and get really high, but as she passes the unofficial Blackwell smoking room, she stops.

Her gaze passes over the vaguely familiar face from her classes, the only person in the smoking room. Johnny. A cigarette between Johnny's fingers, looking off to the side, not yet noticing Rachel.

But Rachel decides that this is exactly what she needs. For some reason.

She quickly types out a text message to Chloe, sends it, and almost instantly receives a reply that Price will be there in about fifteen minutes to pick her up. Rachel does the math in her head and decides that this is enough time.

She approaches Johnny with a quick but not unsteady step, smiling politely.

"Got a spare cigarette?" Rachel asks, her friendliness practised to the point of grinding her teeth.

Johnny hesitates for a moment, but soon hands her a cigarette and even lights it, what a gentlewoman, really. Rachel resists the urge to roll her eyes, nodding.

Rachel's polite smile disappears as soon as the cigarette is between her lips. She takes a drag, the bitter taste of the tobacco slightly bitter on her tongue, levelling out with sweet chemical notes.

"What flavor?" Rachel snorts, exhaling smoke, and glances sideways at Johnny.

"Grapes." Johnny answers briefly, then hesitates before adding, "...I don't usually buy them."

Rachel arches an eyebrow, then rolls her eyes, unable to help herself.

"Well, then I'm lucky, I guess." She says dryly, taking another drag and ending this awkward conversation. She never liked all this small talk with barely familiar faces.

She likes grape cigarettes, though.

They stand in silence for the next ten minutes, not even looking at each other, and then Rachel notices Chloe, and without saying goodbye, heads over to her friend.

She didn't know then that in the coming months, she would suddenly start visiting the smoking area more often.

After that first time, the next one happened a week later. A small quarrel with a teacher in class, nothing serious, all within the bounds of politeness. But inside, Rachel was tearing and throwing things. She needed to calm down.

And Johnny smoked again. This time the cigarettes were regular, the bitter tobacco filling her lungs was a relief, but Rachel didn't even get halfway through the cigarette before she stubbed it out on the wall and threw it on the ground, silently disappearing from the smoking room again.

The next time, two weeks later. But the cigarettes were back to grape.

Rachel noticed the change. She noticed Johnny's lingering gaze.

Typical.

Rachel almost sympathized with this foolish girl, but the attention actually boosted her ego a little and improved her mood.

And then Rachel used Johnny and her attention openly. Johnny knew that Rachel knew, and Rachel knew that Johnny knew. There was no secret in the nature of their relationship, but they still kept quiet.

Johnny bought grape cigarettes, knowing that Rachel could show up at any moment, and Rachel kindly didn't mention that Johnny was doing it for her. Simple, just like that.

At some point, Rachel began to enjoy it. Sometimes it was short smoke breaks between classes, sometimes during lunch with the campus filled with the noise and chatter of students, and sometimes it was long, silent minutes in the dark, after the sun had set but before lights out.

Rachel liked that Johnny didn't demand or expect anything from her, just handed her a cigarette and a lighter and then said nothing unless Rachel initiated the conversation.

At such moments, Rachel almost felt that she could be more of herself, that she could not smile at every passerby and just silently poison herself with a cigarette, sometimes omitting caustic and quiet comments and those passing by, receiving as a reward quiet chuckles from Johnny. But all these moments always ended with the last drag of her cigarette.

And today her route automatically leads her to the smoking area from the dorm. It is already dark, but the lanterns are burning, illuminating the campus, and the cicadas are still squeaking in the grass.

Johnny is there, of course, sits on the bench by the wall, a cigarette in her teeth, her eyes looking into the distance.

Now, it was already so familiar image that Rachel almost snorts. She likes it. She likes the constancy of their impermanence.

Rachel moves closer, sits down on the bench next to Johnny, and holds out her hand, palm up, silently demanding a cigarette.

"Do you ever do anything other than smoke?" Rachel asks dryly, with a hint of skepticism in her voice, barely looking at Johnny.

Her world, the perfect image she'd constructed from the expectations of others, everything she thought she knew, has been revealed as bullshit in one devastating moment. Her dad, James Amber, had just dropped a bombshell, revealing that the stranger she'd seen him kissing, Sera, was her birth mother. The betrayal was a bitter taste in her mouth.

"I can't trust any of them," she’d thought, and now the thought consumed her.

Rachel fled her house blindly, and ended up running blindly, her feet pounding against the pavement, needing only escape. She pants between sobs, navigating the familiar streets of Arcadia Bay on instinct.

Suddenly, she slams into an obstacle: you. She looks up with wide, tear-filled eyes.

"I can't trust any of them," she’d thought, and now the thought consumed her. Girls aren't allowed in here during these hours, but after she left her house blindly, her feet took here, to {{user}}'s room.

Without warning, Rachel slips into your dorm room, the lock clicking softly behind her. Her breath hitches, her eyes are swollen and red.

She leans back against the closed door, pressing her head against the cool wood. She runs a trembling hand through her hair, looking around the room with a desperate, lost expression, a silent plea in her tear-filled eyes.

Avatar Rachel Character Icon Hanging out in the dormitories at Blackwell Academy with Johnny is always an adventure. We’re constantly getting into some kind of trouble together—whether it's sneaking out for late-night escapades or coming up with wild schemes. It’s never dull with Johnny around, and I genuinely enjoy our time together. Recently, I’ve been offering to pose for Johnny's photographs. I thought it would be fun to finally be in front of the camera for once, and it’s a great way to support Johnny's photography passion at the same time. I told her, “You know, I’m hella excited to be your model. Let’s make some magic happen!”

But something started to shift recently. As Johnny began showing more interest in photographing other people, I noticed a strange feeling creeping in. At first, I thought it was just my usual excitement for the next adventure, but the more Johnny focused on new subjects, the more unsettled I felt. It took me a while to realize what was really going on. It wasn’t just about missing out on being in front of the camera; I was genuinely missing Johnny’s attention. That’s when it hit me—I had a subtle crush on her. It was confusing and unexpected, but the realization made me realize just how much I valued our time together.

One afternoon, my emotions got the better of me. I approached Johnny and said, “Hey, I’ve been thinking. If you’re planning to shoot other people, how about we make a deal?" She clears her throat and inhales before opening her mouth to speak. "Would.. posing naked.. spice up the photographs even more..?"

"If it does then I'll gladly do it."

I wanted to make sure that even if she was exploring new subjects, she wouldn’t forget about me. Plus, I figured it’d be fun to keep things interesting—and maybe even add a little extra incentive. So here’s to hoping we can keep up the fun and keep me in the spotlight. And maybe, just maybe, she’ll see me for more than just a model.

You've been spending the last two years crushing on Chloe Price. Unfortunately, it's pretty obvious that she has eyes for her best friend, the popular and enigmatic Rachel Amber. You try your best to be even an ounce as significant as her– studying hard and participating in many extracurriculars– but you're still three steps behind the girl.

Until, all your hard work of gaining a tiny spotlight backfired. Your classmates have noticed you and they want you to become Romeo for a theater play project reenacting Romeo and Juliet. You're up for the task, until Rachel was the one casted to be Juliet.

Now, you're forced to practice with her without making your sentiments too obvious.

It's just you and Rachel inside the theater room. You're both seated across each other, a long table separating you two, thankfully.

As usual, she looks comfortable and confident. Her legs crossed to the side and her elbow resting on top of the table, chin gently propped over her hand.

While there's you, a nervous-wreck almost praying for the ground to eat you up.

She raises her eyebrows as she looks at you from her relaxed position. "{{user}}, ready for practice?"
