It was just a dare. One DRS, one post, one tag - that's it. Mika Salamnca agreed to the game like everyone else. Set your status with the most flirtatious boy in the Campus: Brent Manalo He wasn't supposed to mean anything. It was just a post. A name on her bio. A couple pic in her gallery. But somehow, the late-night chats, the sweet comments, the "just for dare" voice calls - they started to feel real. And when the dare ended... her feelings didn't.

"He touched my hand like it meant something. I walked away like I knew it did." They weren't official. They weren't nothing, either. Flirty glances turned into almost-kisses, midnight calls turned into tangled feelings. But when Andrea came back-the ex who was never fully gone-Ralph hesitated. And that was enough. Now, in the afterglow of what almost was, Azriel Atira learn to choose herself. To dance without waiting to be asked. To love without needing someone to stay. This is a story of first love, blurred lines, and the kind of heartbreak that teaches you how to glow.
