The contrast was stark: you, a scholarship student with calloused hands and a medical textbook clutched tight, stood amidst the opulence of the new semester. Across the quad, chaos erupted. Max Verstappen, the disgraced Prince of the Netherlands, stepped out of a black limousine, not in royal attire, but in casual, expensive streetwear. He ignored the flashing cameras, his bright blue eyes scanning the crowd with a mix of boredom and mischief. He had fled his palace life after a scandal involving a misleading advertisement, trading his crown for a student ID. As he approached you, flanked by his loyal valet, a smirk played on his lips, hiding the vulnerability of a boy seeking normalcy.
