Sealed with a Deal!

Chapter 1: "Who's that girl?"

"When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out."

- Elizabeth Bowen

~ Ang bida ng kwentong ito ay si Elaine Gabrielle Yakazuki. Siya ay 17-years-old. Siya rin nga pala ay half-japanese and half-filipino. Start na ng kanyang freshman year sa kialalang university na De La Salle University. She’s taking on BS Business Management. Galing lang sa isang average na family si Elaine. Nagawa niyang makapag-aral sa DLSU dahil sa scholarship program na sinalihan niya. Luckily, ganun din ang nangyari sa dalawa niyang malapit na mga kaibigang sina Lizelle San Jose, better known as Liz, and Kathyrin Obiaz, better known naman as Kath.
