Episode one opens at the send-off party. Oliver narrates that after repeating a year he finally got into his dream school. Alan, his childhood friend, has given him hell since they were small but helped him through the past year; Ethan Holloway is younger, smarter and more patient, basically perfect to everyone around them. Someone brings up the rumor that Ethan once wrote Oliver a love letter, and Ethan confirms it and says he meant every word. Alan claims the letter was hidden a year ago and gets in Oliver's face, until Oliver's body suddenly fails him. The onlookers realize he is going through a late second differentiation, turning from Beta into an Omega; without a mark and soothing ferments right away he could die, and the two Alphas start fighting over who stays.
Episode six settles into campus daily life. Oliver asks Ethan not to waste time tutoring him, but Ethan answers it is not a waste, sits beside him in class and tells him to ask whenever he gets stuck. Their exchange over something sweet draws the attention of Lillian, who reports to someone that Ethan not only let Oliver sit next to him but agreed to tutor him, and orders the room cleared.
Episode ten follows the aftermath of the school-board fight. Word goes around that Lillian is no longer student council vice president; someone saw Alan White walk into the board office. Ethan tells Oliver nobody is going to corner him again and he has nothing to worry about. Oliver figures Alan is behind Lillian being removed, though Alan still blames him for dragging him into the whole affair. The episode closes with the student council conflict closing in on Oliver again.
Curly-haired and late to every social advantage, Oliver finally reaches his dream school after repeating a year.

Our editors' notes on the opening arc — personal picks, not audience feedback.
The differentiation hits at the party rather than in a formal flashback, so the campus story and the ABO stakes arrive in the same scene. The life-or-death mark condition gives the rival Alpha conflict an immediate physical pressure.
His arc from confirmed letter to classroom seat keeps the pursuit steady: he does not fight over Oliver at every turn, he sits beside him and tutors him. That quiet persistence contrasts Alan's years of on-again hostility.
Alan functions as the childhood rival with a long-held grievance rather than a simple villain: he hid the letter, escorted Oliver home, and later pulled the board-office move that removes Lillian. The blame he keeps throwing Oliver's way leaves the triangle unresolved through the opening arc.
Best for viewers who want a campus BL romance with omegaverse heat, two competing Alphas and a slow classroom warmth; if you prefer a settled, single pairing from episode one, the rivalry stays unresolved across the opening arc. Compared with most school romance shorts, this one keeps ABO physical danger and student council politics running at the same time — that dual pace is both its strength and its limit.
