The Runaway Princess

To escape a political marriage, Princess Wilhelmina ("Willa") of the Kingdom of Castellane assumes the alias "Willa Wexford" and enrolls in a prestigious school as a commoner. There, she falls for Lord Theodore Camden-the campus heartthrob who is adored by everyone yet is incredibly shy and low-key in private. Their respective circles of close friends conspire to orchestrate a series of "accidents" that create opportunities for the two to be alone together, culminating in the revelation of her true identity at the graduation ball.
