The Madrid-Esquival siblings Nora, Fort, and Ansel, find love through their phones...and go from there. *** Nora's crush on her older brother's teammate and basketball star Arch is getting out of hand. Swiping his number without her brother knowing, she texts him every day with encouraging messages and inspiring quotes from her favorite books and movies. She doesn't mind that he leaves her on read, but on an embarrassing rant about pineapples on pizza, what do you know? Arch finally replies. Sabrina was only looking for a good time during a music festival in Manila--she doesn't expect to see and hang out with her hopeless high school crush, Fort, after so many years. Problem is, even though he was the highlight of her high school years, was she his? Did he remember her name? Did he recognize her? Or was this a fresh start for them both? Ansel likes things easy and simple--basketball, school, parties, girls. Scratch that last one when he meets Chie, pink-haired, assertive, doesn't take anyone's crap--even Ansel's flirting. But in tiptoeing the line between friends and something more, can Ansel find it in himself to commit, and can Chie break down her walls for him? Would he also break Chie's heart for someone who broke his--and would Chie let him? DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish. COVER DESIGN: Regina Dionela

SHOOKT 1.0 Nora is a solid fangirl who managed to get her crush's cell number from her big brother (without him knowing). She texted him everyday, sending him encouraging messages and inspiring quotes from her favorite books and movies. Arch, the athlete that's currently dominating the UAAP Men's Basketball season A.K.A. Nora's ultimate crush, never once replied. One night, instead of an inspiring text, Nora accidentally sent him a rant. And what do you know? Arch finally texted back. LIT AF 2.0 Sabrina had expected to fangirl at Wanderland, the annual music festival for indie music in Manila. But what she didn't expect was to fangirl over someone she hadn't seen in years. Her high school crush came back into her life, looking hotter than ever - gone were the boy-next-door features, now a man through and through. But the thing was, even though he was the highlight of her high school years, was she his? Did he remember her name? Did he recognize her face? What if he doesn't even know her at all? WHOMST 3.0 Chie's world has always been crazy. During the day, she goes to class. During the night, she attends events. On weekends, she meets up with friends. Ansel likes to keep things easy and simple. He goes to basketball practice before and after school, he keeps his grades above average, and he drinks his Saturday nights away. Girls? They just come and go. What if one day, a girl came into Ansel's life and stayed? What if one day, the girl who was once his life came back? Would he break Chie's heart for someone who broke his? But the ultimate question is, would Chie let him?

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
