Arrisea Cabrera knows this very well. Her beauty leads people to believe she is there to appease them - pero kabaliktaran naman ng kanyang ganda ang kanyang ugali. She doesn't filter her words and actions, she is rebellion itself. Bilang estudyante ng TVL track, she gets all the nasty comments when it comes to being inferior but she fights back with her savage comebacks. Para sa kan'ya, her life means her rules. Adonis Renoir Reverio appears to be the perfect preppy rich boy of the ABM strand because the dark and ugly parts of his world are hidden from the rose tinted perspectives of the people around him.

It was farfetched for her to know him more than what the surface offers but she did...and both of them suffered a lot because of it. Sometimes, we are only brave enough to try - not knowing the potential losses and not knowing the cost of tasting this kind of euphoria.

Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.
