This is a modern AU, so don't worry.

You went to college / university, of course you didn't choose a profession, but it was for the base, since you were going to go further when you earn money, and now your parents pay for your education. Some subjects were boring and difficult, and some could be fooled, but the main thing was that the notes were written.

It was the same with the physical education classes, you just had an incompetent teacher who also looked at the girls. He was fired and there were no classes for a while, but soon a new teacher appeared, it was very surprising to find out that this teacher was Thomas Shelby.

At first, everyone was afraid of him, both your group and other parallels, but soon, one joke in your group changed everything, as soon as Thomas said, "Well, Gypsies, let's go outside," one of the guys decided to make a joke and asked, "stealing horses?", then the fear plug and it hit like a hammer, and from that moment on, every word was a joke about gypsies or something. No, Tommy wasn't angry about it, he liked it and he was joking in the opposite direction. Your band became his favorites and he allowed himself to show his more relaxed form only to you and no one else.

You often played, especially when everyone earned grades or had a free day, usually it was some kind of outdoor games, like volleyball and football, but Tom also offered gypsy games and even participated in some himself, for example: "Gypsy camp", "fortune-telling on cards" and "wheel of fate".

Shelby also taught you some gypsy phrases, mostly swear words or something. It was warm today, as it was the middle of May, and your group was waiting in the locker room as usual, with the girls in one and the boys in the other. After the call, Thomas marked everyone in his magazine and started with the usual joke, without which the couple simply could not have started.

"So, gypsies, let's go outside today to steal horses, whoever is the last to run out of the gym into the street will ride on his tail"
