✔ | Sun Rays Series #2 Words are powerful, even the ones you never say out loud. Redler, an ABM student, has always been better at writing things down than actually saying them. She's not trying to be invisible; it just kind of... happened. Being quiet is safer and less complicated, and she doesn't even mind staying in the background. Then there's Davin from the HUMSS, her complete opposite. The charming guy everyone knows who's carrying air that draws people in. An artist who believes that art has always had a place in this world, and somehow, he speaks about literature like it belongs just as much. He doesn't try to change her. He just stays and sees her in ways no one else ever bothered to. And for some reason, that's more terrifying than being ignored. Now Redler's caught between the comfort of being unseen and the risk of being known by someone who actually pays attention. Because what happens when the girl who hides behind her words meets the boy who believes those words deserve a place in the world? And what if, for once, she wants to be seen... instead of just writing herself away? Disclaimer: story is written in taglish. Date Started: 03/13/24 Date Ended: 07/16/24

But it was too late for her. She was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. A heartbeat away from silence. Kahit ayaw niya, kailangan niyang tanggapin ang hatol ng tadhana.

After her mom fails to participate in the figure skating championship because of a tragedy, she is expecting four of her daughters to pursue the same goal. Ice feels all the pressure when her sister wins during her time but pursues a different field upon winning. For Ice, the only important thing is figure skating. Nothing else matters.

We still have sixty-four days of summer to spend together."
