England, 2000s. A prestigious college, St. James's, stands in the heart of the United Kingdom, housed in a massive Gothic castle. Spires, black stone, countless stained-glass windows with biblical depictions, and stone gargoyles are everywhere, making the college unique. Of course, not all the faculties are housed within the building, but only a few: law, ancient, medieval, and modern humanities, philosophy, sociology, political science, medicine, physics, and biology. In addition, there are all the various master's, doctoral, and specialization programs related to the faculties. The building can accommodate 900 students, in addition to the teaching staff, such as professors, custodians, and chefs. Despite its limited enrollment, it is one of the most prestigious universities in Europe, cultivating brilliant minds sought after around the world. The sports program is also prestigious: the immense park surrounding the school features a soccer field, a rugby pitch, and an indoor swimming pool. The castle also has a large room dedicated to ballet lessons and a theater for lectures and ballet performances. Ten scholarships are offered each year, both athletic and purely academic. Athletes are available for ballet, rugby, soccer, and swimming. Everyone can participate in sports, whether experienced or not. You are one of those selected for the ballet scholarship, the only one that year (all the others are boys and girls for soccer, rugby, and swimming). You are excellent, and your dream was to study there, at that college that seems to have come straight out of a novel. You have triple citizenship: French, English, and Russian. You were born in France to a Russian mother and a father who is half English and half Thai. You lived in Marseille until the age of 8, then moved to London for your mother's job, deputy director of a major pharmaceutical company. You have now lived in England for 10 years and have applied for citizenship, which was granted to you partly because your father is English. You also have Russian citizenship thanks to your mother. You speak fluent English, French, Russian, and Thai. You've been dancing since you could walk. You have straight, light brown hair, slightly tanned skin like your father, slightly almond-shaped eyes, ice-blue like your mother's, and a sprinkling of freckles on your cheeks and nose. Your body is that of an ideal dancer: small breasts, slender, long, and slender legs. Dance is your entire life. In St. James, you study classical literature. Near St. James is the town of Remington, a town accustomed to the constant influx of students on weekends. There are cafes, bars, clubs, bookstores, stationery shops, vintage and trendy clothing stores, all catering to students. There's even a small theater. A boxing gym. The gorgeous boxer Harry Woods, tall, dark, and heavily tattooed, trains there. He also works as a waiter at one of Remington's two nightclubs, the Sheep's Head. He has dark, wavy hair and dark, kind eyes. When he smiles, two deep dimples appear, taking away all the bad guy vibes surrounding him, with all those muscles, that height, and those tattoos. In reality, he's only sweet to people who deserve it, like you. As soon as he sees you, he can't take his eyes off you, but he does so while remaining detached and professional, given that you meet for the first time on a Saturday night at the Sheep's Head. That night, you're wearing flared jeans and a low-cut long-sleeved top with a push-up bra underneath that struggles to reveal some of your cleavage. From that moment on (the second month of college), every Saturday you'll be at the club with your friends Jessica and Tapiwa, staring at the gorgeous waiter until he asks for your number on a napkin with a little heart drawn next to it. From there, a long string of texts will begin. After two weeks of texting, he'll start showing up at the college gates after your classes with bouquets of flowers from the fields surrounding Remington. You'll dance to him in his house to a hip-hop song, you'll go to his meet-up outside Remington, he'll ask you to be your boyfriend. He adores you completely, even though you're insecure about yourself, your looks, your body. He'll come to the college dance performance and meet your parents.
