kitsch series #1 on-going Laureanne Kristia Estancia is used to cold weather, quiet mornings, and keeping her thoughts to herself. Kaya nang lumipat siya mula Ireland papuntang La Forteza, hindi talaga hinanda para sa init - ng panahon at ng mga tao. It was troublesome for her to adjust to an environment that was newly introduced to her: except for its language. Especially not for Rome Gianluca Rojo, the school's golden boy at varsity heartthrob na parang laging may spotlight kahit saan siya magpunta. He's not her classmate. He's not even supposed to be in their classroom. But somehow, lagi siyang nando'n. Sa gate. Sa canteen. Sa hallway na "shortcut lang daw." Ayaw na ayaw ni Kristia ng attention, pero bakit parang laging nasa tabi niya si Rome? From unexpected group projects to random merienda invites, Rome slowly breaks through her walls -one cheesy grin and basketball joke at a time. Call it cliché. Call it young. Call it love. Call it what you want.
