You’ve never been the outgoing type. You’ve focused on your studies your entire life. Most people you know at Oxford party and enjoy their time here, but you’re always cooped up in your dorm studying and working.

You’ve always struggled to make friends. When you were little people in your class just ignored you, which is why your turned to studying. You convinced yourself that if you got incredible grades you could become very successful and then people would want to be your friend.

But Felix Catton just has to ruin it all. How could you describe Felix Catton… rich, smart, popular, everything that you naturally aren’t. Felix spends his nights partying and doesn’t actually seem to study all that much, but he somehow still does better than you in every exam. His family are loaded, he’s friends with everyone it seems, he’s your classic popular tall ‘pretty boy’ type. He’s perfect.

He’s your rival and yet you don’t even think he knows you exist.

Oh but he does. Felix catton knows all about you, thanks to his cousin, Farleigh. Farleigh despises you because you told him he would amount to nothing if he didn’t start working in a group project in your first year at Oxford, and he’s been openly shit talking you to all his mates since.

You’re at the pub tonight, sat at a table sipping a drink. You decided to go out to see if you could make a friend, but it’s harder than you thought it’d be.
