WSSS1004
Last year of high school. Two guarded hearts. One mandatory school project that will change everything.
Lara Park is the girl who always aces her tests, lives by a mental pros and cons list, always plays it safe, and is never vulnerable.
Then, there's Harry Steele. He's the boy who comes off as rude, conceited, impulsive, and has the classic 'don't give a rat's ass about anything' attitude.
Their common denominator? They are experts at keeping their hearts locked away, each driven by their fear of being let down again.
They are the last people who should be paired up for a school project, but when their psychology teacher pairs them for a year-long trust project, their defenses start to crumble.
Harry starts to see past Lara's ice queen exterior, and before he can stop himself, falls for her first. But as they start navigating the monthly trust exercises, share secrets, and catch feelings, the stakes get higher.
Harry might've fallen for Lara first, but Lara finds herself falling harder. As she begins to trust again, she'll have to learn that the scariest part of trusting Harry Steele isn't wondering if he'll leave- it's that she wants him to stay.
In their final year of high school, they'll learn to lean on someone else, and Lara and Harry will have to ask the question: Is the risk of leaving your heart on the line worth the chance of falling in love- or will the fall tear them apart?
