Chapter 1
Opposites Attract

Waking up abruptly from REM sleep is the worst possible time to wake up. And the worst possible way. You wake up feeling groggy and like your head is in outer space. But as long as they wake up next to her, they know everything will be okay.
This is the story of how two unlikely people met and fell in love. This is a sweet story, and a very bitter one. Telling of hardship and kindness. We start off in the small town of Schenek, Germany. Leslie is a writer who works from home, and the other is Ryan. Ryan works in an office as a secretary.
Leslie is short whilst Ryan is tall. Leslie is voluptuous and chubby whilst Ryan is like a bean pole. They both go to the same college. Polar opposites, foils, completely inverse. Yet you know what they say, opposites attract, and in this case, they do.

We begin here, with Leslie writing a love story, much like this one. However, theirs entails a man and a woman. As that's all they know how to write. However, they’re getting bored of it. So, Leslie decided to scrap it and begin writing a biography. They finished it at Chapter 22, where their life currently stands. They also decide to experiment with their sexuality.
Ryan is thinking of quitting her job and pursuing a full education. College. She already has about 10.000.000 scholarships. Ryan submitted her Two Week Notice and left early. She of course notified her boss and used the excuse of feeling nauseous.
When she got home she began reviewing her scholarship applications. She accepted Schenek. Schenek U was an amazing 5 star school that only the best get into. She believes she must’ve been one of the best. Although she didn’t think herself that smart.
Leslie already goes to Schenek for her amazing writing skills. Heck, she lives in Schenek—You kinda have to, to go to the school. But in Ryan’s case, she lives halfway across the country yet Schenek U still wants her there… That's smart. So now Ryan had to move halfway across the country.
So Ryan packs her stuff and gets a moving company to help her out. She has chosen to move in on campus so she just needs clothes, toothpaste and a toothbrush, as well as other daily necessities. So she puts all her stuff in the moving van and gets going.

At the campus, she aces her entrance exam. And lucky for her, a new semester just started.
She reaches her beautiful dorm which consists of two master-bedroom-sized bedrooms connected by one long corridor. Each one being like its own small apartment minus a kitchen and dining area. Each room also had two beds but based on the size of the dormitory, rarely had two people. She will inevitably have to socialise. Being a giant isn;t easy.
After all, when you're 2,37 metres tall. And to make matters worse she’s an Asian American. She’s Korean.
Ryan heard a knocking on her door. “Hellooooo.” Said the high pitched yet raspy voice, “You in there?” Ryan hurried over to get the door. Almost falling over as she panicked. She opened the door and- saw no one. “Down here.” Said the voice,They giggled, “I’m Leslie, I use they/them pronouns.” They held up a tray of cupcakes.
“T-thank you.” Ryan said. She grabbed the tray and placed it on the dresser beside the door. “I’m Ryan, I-I use she/her.”
“Nice to meet you Ryan.” Leslie replied. Their freckled face being half covered by short, thick, and scruffy hair. Dog ears poked out from the top of her head, and her hands and forearm were covered with fur. They were a Halfling. Ryan gasped, her eyes widened and her mouth agape, “You. Are. Adorable!” she said. Leslie looked shocked.
“I don’t usually receive that reaction.” She said, “Eidoism still runs rampant, especially amongst humans.”
“Well not all humans are like that, come on in.” Said Ryan. Leslie hesitantly stepped in and over a couple of cupcakes, got to know Ryan.

“I’m a writer.” Said Leslie.
“Oh yeah?” Ryan said, “What do you write?”
“I’m writing a biography.” Replied Leslie, “I used to write romance though. Planning on writing LGBTQ+ romance though.”
“You should totally do that.” Ryan replied, “I bet you’d be great.”
“I have no idea how to write LGBTQ+ characters though.” Leslie said
“Write ‘em like a normal character but, gay or something.” Ryan replied. Leslie giggled. “Wanna- perhaps go out with me?” Leslie’s face turned red. “Hehe, you're too cute.” Ryan said, Leslie’s face became redder. “Y-yeah, I’d like to go out… With you…” Leslie said
“It’s a date then!” Ryan replied. Leslie had some cupcake frosting on her cheek. Ryen wiped it with her thumb and ate the frosting. Leslie giggled, “I better be going now.” they said. Leslie got up and went for the door.
“Wait!” Said Ryen. Leslie turned around, “How tall are you?”
Leslie giggled, “I’m 1,52 metres tall.” Leslie replied to the silly question.
