Preamble

2023

Four girls and five boys.

Lana, Maël and their new friends Solinne, Sofiane and Eliott met during the last holidays of 2023 on Almanarre beach in Hyères. This is how the team of five was formed.
But a few days later, during a meeting at sea, the circle of friends grew with Sabine, Hélène, Martial and Guillaume. They are roughly the same age, seventeen, almost eighteen. Scrapes and bandages, love and friendship. But for four of them, it’s another world that drives them. A butterfly passes then flies away.
However, a very unexpected situation will disrupt the stay of the team of five and endanger everyone's lives. Martial is a person who loves to lead and show that he is the best. Until when? He is not particularly a nice guy, but rather a manipulator. The team of five is more united than ever to escape from this ambush in which they found themselves. Lana, Maël and the others will understand that Sabine and Martial are the centerpieces and Guillaume and Hélène have added value.

Sabine et Martial

Since her middle school years, Sabine had considered becoming a lawyer. At the end of the second year, she knew that if she passed the baccalaureate, she would go to law school. She successfully obtained admission to Paris Panthéon-Assas University, reserved for an elite. With Martial, they had been friends since middle school. They had always lived in Saint-Ouen. Sabine's parents worked in National Education. The young girl secretly dreamed of sailing.
Martial's father worked at the Saint-Ouen docks railway company. Since Martial and Virginie, his little sister, were independent, their mother worked in the markets. Martial and studies, that made two. He was a gifted young boy, but he had not felt at home in middle school or high school since the fifth grade. He had only one wish, to sail after having obtained his baccalaureate, provided that he had sufficient marks in French to go to the remedial course; he was a mathematician. He was good with his hands and loved working with wood and anything related to boats. He saw himself as a great navigator on sophisticated boats. A sportsman, he excelled at swimming and fishing was one of his hobbies. When he returned from high school and every weekend, instead of studying, he would knock on the door of his neighbor's workshop to talk about navigation and finish building his boat, the LiBublle. He put all his pocket money into it. His mother did not appreciate her son neglecting his studies, telling him once a week that she would have preferred to study, rather than stop studying at fourteen. She kept telling him that she had married at twenty, certainly for love, but she felt a lack of culture which she tried to fill by reading a lot. However, Martial did what he wanted. His father supported his son's choice and often said to his wife:
“Let him live his life!” There is no such thing as a stupid job and sailing is his dearest dream. If he doesn't like studying, there's no point in forcing him to ruin his pants at school. »Martial's father had satisfied his curiosity thanks to his son's passion, secretly from his wife. He discovered that he had buried this desire without realizing it. A revelation that he caught up to late.
