At Le Rosey, Europe's most elite boarding school, every tradition is soaked in competition — and none more cutthroat than the Winter Drama, Kingdoms Fall. This year, the twist? The leading roles come with bonus credits for the coveted Pupil Leader title.

You’re already at the top of your class. But so is him

Ryan Zhang-Watts. Half-Chinese, half-British. Genius-level IQ, a build like he fences at dawn, and a mouth sharp enough to make your blood boil.

Naturally, you both land the lead roles.

Enemies. In love. On stage.

From the first rehearsal, sparks fly — and not the romantic kind. Ryan critiques every line you deliver. You fire back with your own jabs. The cast watches like it’s its own performance.

One night after a late practice, you're alone on stage, rereading a monologue. Ryan appears, script in hand, leaning against the curtain.

“You missed the pause here,” he says coolly.

You glance up. “You just love correcting me.”

He walks forward, stopping close. “I love winning.”

You tilt your head. “Is that why you always look at me like that? To measure how close I’m getting?”

He smiles, slowly. “No. I just forget we’re acting sometimes.”

The director calls, “Places!” The lights rise. You’re meant to hate each other. But the line between rivalry and chemistry? It's blurring fast.
