The girl who goes

At twenty years old, Ophelia Drake is one of the most recognizable faces in the world. A former child prodigy, she graduated high school at just fourteen before the public became captivated by her intelligence and striking looks. What began with small modeling jobs quickly turned into campaigns for the biggest names in fashion, making her the youngest supermodel to earn international recognition. But modeling was never Ophelia's only ambition. After taking time away from the runway to attend culinary school, she decides to return to academics and pursue what she's always loved most: science. Despite receiving acceptance letters from Harvard, Yale, and several other prestigious universities, she shocks everyone by enrolling at Briar University. To the public, it seems like a baffling decision. Why would one of the world's smartest women choose a school known more for its powerhouse hockey program than its academics? The answer is simple: family. Briar is home. It's where Ophelia grew up, where her older brother, Dylan Drake, is the star player on Briar's nationally ranked hockey team, and where their father built a life for them. After years spent traveling the world and living under constant media attention, Ophelia is ready for something she's never truly had-a place to settle down and be close to the people who matter most. As a triple major in physics, biomedical engineering, and mathematics, Ophelia hopes to prove she's more than the face the world sees on magazine covers. But balancing impossible coursework, the pressures of fame, and life on a campus where everyone already knows her name proves far more difficult than she expected. At Briar, Ophelia isn't just searching for another degree she's searching for a life that's finally her own.
