so before i leave the mix i just wanted to write a little story about lerato dlamini, a second year college student in havenbrook college studying btec level 3 art & design. heres her profile:
Name: Lerato Dlamini
Age: 17
Second Year
Subject: Level 3 BTEC Art & Design
Physical appearance: Dark-skinned and has black hair with dark brown eyes. She stands at 164cm and has scars all round her body from fighting.
Personality: Known as a bully in secondary school, she takes her reputation very seriously and will do anything to uphold it even if it meant manipulating others. She's also quite intelligent as she got high grades in her GCSEs including a 9 in art, hence why she is taking art & design in Havenbrook College. This means that she is a creative person despite her evil intentions.
Backstory: Originating from South Africa, her and her family moved to Bristol when she was about 4 years old and from then on she displayed signs of conduct disorder, bullying other classmates and involving herself in risky situations. She got diagnosed with conduct disorder when she was 12 years old since she committed a crime which involved bringing a bladed article into her school with the intention to cause harm. For this she was given a 6 month youth conditional caution which will stay on her criminal record for life, along with her being expelled from mainstream school and sent to a PRU (Pupil Referral Unit) where she stayed there for four years due to bad behaviour. At the age of 16 she then enrolled into Havenbrook College to study art & design and has been there ever since.
and heres ten fun facts about her:
) her hobbies include drawing, painting, sketching and causing chaos throughout havenbrook college.
2) she wants kids someday mainly so that she can call her future child a "mini lerato", not because she actually wants to raise the next generation of people.
3) she regularly picks fights with other people in the college, causing security to regularly separate lerato and her opponent.
4) her father's name is kagiso dlamini and her mother's name is ayanda dlamini.
5) she dislikes her younger sister retha because she believes that she's too soft for the world, in fact she could even go to say that she despises her.
6) she also dislikes retha because of her future career choice of being an engineer, and says that she should pick something more feminine and realistic.
7) her favourite genre of film is horror. she laughs at the jumpscare scenes instead of screaming.
8) she wants to be a freelance artist after college.
9) her favourite colour is black.
10) her favourite food is chocolate.

ok lets actually start the story now:
The story begins with a young woman named Lerato Dlamini who was standing outside of Havenbrook College with a knowing smirk on her face, "Second year, here I come," She mumbles to herself as she walks into the campus. She goes upstairs to the art & design department and would sit down in her classroom. She would then start doing the work which involved sketching a picture of herself.
Later on, Lerato would be in the hallways when she got into an argument with one of her classmates which turned into a full on fight. Someone would grab her arm trying to deescelate the situation, "Calm down Lerato-" They would get cut off by Lerato glaring at them.
"Don't touch me," She snaps with her earrings on, causing them to let go of her.
"Okay okay chill," They would say before walking away.
Security would separate Lerato and her opponent causing the staff to call her parents. But she wouldn't care. She would just manipulate the situation all over again.
(i didnt make the picture btw, chatgpt did because im horrible at making art).
part 2 coming soon!

Lerato was in bed that night deeply asleep after successfully manipulating her parents and had a dream. She had a dream that she was on the throne.
"Ha! This is exactly what I imagined my future to look like!" Lerato would smirk, looking down at her loyal subjects, "Don't disappoint me."
Her loyal subjects nodded in agreement, rushing to get done with the next order of hers.
The next morning, Lerato would wake up in her bed satisfied, "That was a lovely dream," She would mutter to herself with another smirk, but this time it was an evil smirk.
Later on, she was at college again but this time she was in the library doing her work when Kelechi a boy below her year sat down opposite her with his laptop on the table, typing away at some code, "What's your name?" Lerato would suddenly ask, already knowing that she was going to manipulate him.
"Kelechi," He muttered shyly, glancing at her briefly before getting back to do his work.
"My name's Lerato," Lerato speaks up, leaning towards him maliciously, "What are you working on?"
Kelechi pauses. A beat. Then he frowns and responds timidly, "Just some college work."
"You must be pretty smart then," Lerato then states, "But you know who's smarter?" She questions.
"...Who?" Kelechi asks.
"Me of course," Lerato says confidently in her bravado, "Follow my lead and we'll get along just fine."
