Now she's at the end of her education and is looking forward to what lies beyond. That is, if she can make it to the end of the term in one piece. In a bid to bring in more students, the academy is going co-ed, and has brought in the boys early to test the waters. Among them are Charlie Bingley, a cheerful boy with a soft spot for Beth's best friend, Jenny. His companion William Darcy isn't at all pleased with the situation, or with Beth for that matter.
