"Love in the Shadows of Sunset"

Prompt: AFTER HOURS A High School Euphoria-Inspired Drama by Delilah Ivette Serra “Love doesn’t save you here. But it sure knows how to ruin you.” ⸻ In Miami, the parties are louder, the secrets run deeper, and the teens grow up way too fast. At Coastal High, everything looks perfect from the outside — palm trees, ocean views, popular cliques with designer backpacks — but behind the scenes, it’s heartbreak, betrayal, hookups, and spirals hiding under the glow of sunset and red Solo cups. Welcome to AFTER HOURS — a messy, emotional, coming-of-age rollercoaster set in the world of fake friends, real feelings, and nights you can’t take back. ⸻ 💔 THE MAIN GIRL Delilah Ivette Serra Puerto Rican-Cuban | Libra | 16 Curly brown hair, brown eyes, nose stud, baby tee and low-rise jeans energy. She’s loud. She’s fire. She’s fragile when no one’s looking. She’s the girl people call a hoe just because she’s fine and confident… but she’s never even had a real boyfriend. Her first kiss wasn’t some dreamy moment — it was messy, fast, and confusing. She plays tough, but her heart’s all tangled up in Martin, the boy she still loves, and Jungwon, the one who might actually love her right. She doesn’t know who she is without the drama. But she’s starting to figure it out. ⸻ 💋 THE GIRL GROUP: SYNQ Solei – The leader. Got her top and bottom belly button pierced. Calm on the outside, emotionally wrecked on the inside. Soft spot for James, but too scared to admit it. Tuti (Jocelyn) – Delilah’s ride or die. Leo. Loud, funny, fine. Publicly boo’d up with Vince even though their relationship is toxic af. Straight hair, nose studs, and a big heart. Sage – The main rapper. Attitude like fire, mouth like a weapon. She and Niki have the most complicated “are we even a thing?” relationship in the group. Noa – Quiet and observant. Dancer girl. She and Jake are the soft, shy couple you root for in silence. Imani – Mysterious, classy, always in her head. Still not over Danny, her older ex who left her for being too young, but her feelings didn’t leave with him. ⸻ 🐍 THE RIVALS: KATSEYE Lara – Indian. Baddie. Belly piercing, nose ring, ready to fight. Might steal your man. Manon – Ghanaian + Swiss-Italian. Septum piercing, goth-pretty, mean but deep. Sophie – Filipina leader. Knows she’s that girl and acts like it. Megan – Chinese-Singaporean + American. Born in Hawaii. Pretty and chill but doesn’t miss a beat. Yoonchae – Korean. Quiet but deadly. Danielle – Cuban-Venezuelan. Looks sweet. Will wreck you. ⸻ 👑 THE BOY GROUP: BHNBG Martin Edwards Park – Half-Korean, half-Canadian. The one who still has Delilah’s heart. Protective, layered, intense. Not toxic — just emotionally guarded. James – Half-Thai, half-Taiwanese. The class clown. Everybody’s favorite flirt. Lowkey deep and super loyal. Juhoon – Korean. Quiet jock. Strong and observant. Low drama, high presence. Seonghyeon – Korean. Sweetheart, funny, soft-spoken. Girls love him without even realizing it. Keonho – Korean. Youngest, bold, always talking back. Has that mischievous lil brother energy but will still break hearts. ⸻ 🖤 THE NEW MYSTERIOUS TRANSFERS: ENHYPEN Jungwon – Leader. Calm, careful, observant. Has feelings for Delilah he hasn’t said out loud. The only boy who sees all sides of her. Heeseung – Big bro of the group. Laid back, secretly going through stuff. Jay – American-Korean fashion king. Loud, sarcastic, slick with words. Jake – Sweet Aussie. A literal golden retriever. Slowly falling in love with Noa. Sunghoon – Cold on the outside, anxious on the inside. Keeps his business very private. Sunoo – Bright, bubbly, and always down to help. His joy hides sadness he never talks about. Niki – Emo skater boy. The youngest and most chaotic. Acts like he doesn’t care. Definitely does. Sage has him in a chokehold and doesn’t even know it. ⸻ 🎬 THE STORY AFTER HOURS is a raw, realistic teen drama told in full scenes with deep emotions, slow burns, and intense character arcs. ➤ Girls fight in the hallway. ➤ Boys sneak out at 2am. ➤ Hearts get broken over texts left on read. ➤ Beach nights.
