    Summary

    Grantaire is very good at being invisible. Well, good enough to survive high school, anyway. It’s impossible to avoid the entire football team all the time, but he and Combeferre manage to hide safely in the library most days. Everything is normal and status quo until Grantaire finally stands up for himself, punches the scariest bully in the school, and starts to notice a strange relationship forming between his best friend and one of the jocks. Bad things happen very quickly and Grantaire’s mom decides to move out of town. When he returns for university a few years later, everything has changed and he’s finding it difficult to adjust. The lines between old enemies and friends blur, and Grantaire finds himself wondering whether people really can change after all.
