Welcome to the revised edition of "Between: Part 1". I am thrilled to have you join us on this journey, whether you are a returning reader familiar with the original tale or a new reader just beginning to delve into our story's universe.

Those of you who have journeyed with us before will find familiar faces. I'm delighted to reintroduce you to our main characters— two individuals who couldn't be more different in appearance or personality. This time, however, we delve deeper, peeling back layers to reveal more about their characters, their motivations, and their interactions within the vibrant settings they navigate.

In this project, just as I always love to do, I've brought together two main characters with intriguing appearances and distinct personalities, each offering their unique perspective and contribution to the story. These individuals, along with a cast of supporting characters, meet in a specific setting, leading us to ponder the serendipity of encounters and the unpredictability of life.

"Between: Part 1" primarily focuses on the characters' high school life, setting the stage for what is to come in "Part 2" which will explore their university years. It's a journey that promises to be filled with countless twists and turns, laughter and tears, trials and triumphs, heartache and love. As an author, I have provided a structural roadmap, but the characters drive the narrative. They will make their own decisions and face the consequences of those decisions, making the storyline feel organic and real.

To our new readers, welcome. We hope you fall in love with our characters and their stories just as much as we have. To our returning readers, welcome back. While the essence of the original story remains intact, this revised version aims to enhance your understanding and enjoyment of our characters and their journey.

Thank you all for being a part of this story. Your comments, feedback, and support are invaluable to me as a writer. As we embark on this adventure together, let's be patient and kind to our characters, just as we would be with real people.

Enjoy the journey!
