He was the town's star basketball player-charming, popular, and the exact boy my mom dreamed of for me. But to me? He was just someone I didn't care for. Until things got messy: my own sister fell for him too. And while everyone waited to see who he'd choose, Kian vanished without a word-leaving only silence behind. Three years later, life moved on. I'm graduating soon, set to take Political Science, and there's Granty-my classmate, my constant companion, the boy who makes my heart race... but only ever gives mixed signals. Everyone swears we're together, yet we keep calling ourselves "just friends." But far away, Kian never really forgot. Even as he became a top student, a leader, and the team captain-with girls lining up for his attention-his thoughts always drifted back to the girl he could never have. This isn't a story of destined love. It's about tangled feelings, hard choices, and the quiet truth: sometimes the one everyone thinks is yours... was never really meant to be. HE WAS JUST A PLAYER I DIDN'T LIKE. UNTIL HE BECAME THE ONE YOU COULDN'T HAVE-EVEN IF YOU NEVER WANTED HIM TO BE YOURS

Hanggang WHAT IF nga lang ba? Isang OA na pogi na mahilig din sa pogi, at isang walang pake sa buhay pero pressured sa academics. Random, 'no? Love story pa ba 'to? Grabeng slow burn 'yan, hindi mamatay-matay ang apoy. Ang goal ko talaga sa story na 'to is something light and simple. Yung romcom na may slowburn trope, friendship, at high school feels na very Filipino. Gusto ko yung vibe na habang binabasa niyo, parang bumabalik kayo sa mga happy moments. It's also about growing together - kasama 'yung kilig, ka-8080-han, at lahat ng kulitan. Yung tipong parang nagka-cram kayo for an exam kasama ang tropa, sabay tambay sa canteen, kwek-kwek at lugaw food trip sa uwian. Main character na simple lang at realistic? Si Via na yan. 😏
