[PUBLISHED UNDER LIBxWattpad] erps series #1 complete [unedited] 2# NBS Bestseller under Fiction Philippines Publication [July 2025] If only I knew, would things be different? And if only you knew, will things change? Celest Haeia Ybanez is tired of being the NBSB girl in her circle. Blame the academic workload, the fictional boys, the strict curfew created by her mother, and even the ones who told her they'll wait until she's in college-graduating na siya pero wala pa ring nagpaparamdam sa kan'ya. Idagdag pa na bugbog na bugbog na siya sa katyaw ng mga kaibigan at kamag-anak n'ya na tatanda siyang dalaga. She promised herself that she'll date someone in her last year in college. . .and there she meets Iscaleon Altreano, a meek Architecture student who's also graduating this school year. She had a plan upon seeing him. She knew that Iscaleon was way out of her league; kaya nag-offer siya na magpanggap si Iscaleon na boyfriend n'ya kahit hanggang sa graduation lang nila. For experience, for memories, and for her to have a memorable first boyfriend. Everything was fun. . .if only she knew how things can get hurt if things are bound to get real.

As she navigates the turbulent journey of self-discovery, Wednesday Denise learns that true freedom comes from within. She realizes that letting go of toxic relationships and embracing her own desires is not only necessary but empowering. *** Wednesday Denise's life is a constant struggle to win the approval of her indifferent parents. Despite the obligations she never asked for as the eldest, she can't bring herself to abandon her family. As a founding member of the Anagapesism band, her dreams take a turn when she leaves the group to pursue a nursing career, wanting to find a solid route that will eventually validate her. Having North Barrinuevo beside her, offering her the support and understanding she's been yearning for, is a blessing, as she discovers her voice, the importance of self-love, and the courage to break free from the chains of expectation.
