Sunset in Paradise

School 4 Misfits

When Devlin took the assignment given by a former directress of a boys' town school in the Philippines, he didn't expect that he would go back to his childhood memories of being abandoned and neglected. Now that he has a better understanding, he doesn't want to dive into the past and is determined to move on.

But along the way, bits of information from his unnamed mom started to haunt him. Devlin will have to face the challenges not only of becoming the Student President but also the forgotten feelings he thought he lost for a very long time.

Ash is disgusted by the idea of leaving London and going back to Manila since he and his twin, Casper, lose their college fund. Caught into another trouble again, his aunt promised that she would change for the better and at the same time, give back their educational funds produced by their parents who miserably got separated when they were just five.

Ash didn't like the idea of returning knowing he would eventually, inevitably meet their parents once again.

Lorraine is cheerful, friendly and has an optimistic outlook on life. Orphaned at an early age, she didn't feel alone because of the remaining relatives and friends she had. She's a typical girl with a typical dream. It is to enjoy her senior year of high school in her new school.

What happens if these three different individuals, totally different personalities, meet on campus?

Catch Devlin, Ash and Lorraine's journey, together with the people they will meet after entering San Lazarrus Jesuit Academia. Laugh, cry and feel the feels of being a high school and relive some memories of being young.

Umpisa na ang klase! Walang dapat ma-late!

*Lorraine*

It was a beautiful, fine day, a good way to wake up and start the day with a smile. Charot!

English yun ah, nakakatalino at nakakapanibago pala kapag napatira ako at nakasalamuha ang mga mayayaman, nailalabas ko ang pag-e-English spokening dollar ko hahahaha.

Anyway, lagi namang ganito ang araw ko, kasi maganda na ang tinutuluyan ko, feeling ko tuloy, para akong nabigyan ng bagong identity. Feeling ko kasi dati para akong si Cinderella, yung palaging inaapi-api at laging may baon na malungkot na istorya sa bawat araw na dumating sa akin.

Pero noon yun, hindi na ngayon! Yey!

Wala na kasi ako sa poder ng kamag-anak ng nanay ko, ewan ko ba kung paano ko sila naging kamag-anak, eh ang layo ng hitsura nila kay mama, Sumalangit Nawa, ang tanging naging mabait lang sa akin ay ang Lola ko sa tatay na sumalangit na rin, hay.

Bakit kaya lahat ng mababait kinukuha agad ni Lord? At yung masasamang tao, ang tagal ng buhay?

Mula kasi nung naaksidente sa kalsada at mabangga ang sasakyan ng mga magulang ko nung 4 years old ako, ang Lola ko na sa side ni tatay ang kumupkop sa akin. Mayaman si Lola Felicidad, yup, yun talaga ang name niya. Parang Feliz Navidad Charot! Last na yun.

Siya ang kinagisnan kong nanay at tatay, may mga pinsan din ako, dalawa lang naman ang anak niya, yung tatay ko si Renato at Tito Guillermo ko, na tatay ng pinsan ko na si Kuya Justin.

Si Lola Felicidad o Lola Pelyang ang nagpalaki sa akin, siya ang nagpa-aral at nagbigay sa akin ng magandang pangalan, hahaha. Kaya Lorraine ang name ko kasi pangalan yun ng bunso dapat niyang anak, kaso hindi nabuhay. Kaya ipinangalan niya sa akin. Ang sweet 'no?
