Whoa, what a brain twister this was! I needed a whole day to turn it over in my mind.
If it's a school, then the restaurant staff has to be a subgroup -- tightly closed, jealously guarded, viewing itself as superior to the average student -- and one that could realistically have a girl in it. Soccer team?
Gusteau was the beloved dead coach; Skinner is the new coach, formerly the assistant coach, but he's not all that great, and the team is glad he mostly stays in the office schmoozing alumni on the phone for money.
Linguini is a freshman, and kind of hapless, and everyone wonders how on earth he made the team ... well, first, he kicked a goal kind of by accident (with a little help -- more about that later), and second, he is Gusteau's son -- and has control over Gusteau's estate, which provides 95% of the income that supports the team.
Colette worked hard to break into the unofficial boys' club that is the team; when she finds herself having to make Linguini into a little less of a disaster as a player, she's unhappy at first, but finds herself falling for him.
Remy is still a rat, but he's a rat with an amazing talent at soccer. He's the one who redirected the ball into the goal that got Linguini onto the team.
