    Summary

    In the charged halls of Starling High, Barry Allen is more familiar with pain than popularity. Oliver Queen, hiding from his own truth beneath privilege and parental ambition, isn’t supposed to notice him—until the psychology teacher pairs them for a project and the walls between them crumble.

    Their slow-burn connection is tested by trauma, bullying, public scrutiny, and the pressure of Moira Queen’s high-stakes mayoral campaign. As Barry battles PTSD and a haunting assault, Oliver—and a fiercely loyal supporting cast—fight to keep him (and themselves) afloat.
