Ashanti has always been the girl everyone admires. The girl who moves with grace, speaks with certainty, and never falters under the weight of expectations. She is everyone's pride, their standard, their perfect girl. But when the world isn't watching, she exhales deeply and wonders about a lot of things. Because beneath the perfection everyone perceives her to be, she is just a girl who badly wants to rest, to breathe, and to be seen beyond who she is supposed to be. Then there's Ukiyo Naz. The happy-go-lucky guy, gentle and God-fearing. He doesn't look at her with expectations, but rather as someone to be understood. He notices the way her shoulders tense before she speaks, the way her gaze last long on open skies as if searching for something she longs to have. And when she meets his eyes, she finds something she never expected... a place where she can be herself. But others say the love they had was delicate and easy to break. So when a flood of expectations clashes with a love that asks for nothing but pure honesty and sincerity, Ashanti was left with one question... "Am I brave enough to choose a love that allows me to be free?"

Some love stories have no clear beginnings because no one was brave enough to write the first line. *** Adrasteia Caezaria Agnarosa has always known no world beyond academics: top of her class, consistent achiever, and studious to the core. For Adra, distractions mean destruction: one misstep, one emotional detour, could destroy everything she had worked so hard to build. But that belief began to collapse the moment Sanjiro Raeden Bonifacio, a silver-lilac-haired guy who was a complete opposite of her, set the butterflies in her stomach free from their cage... only to ghost her afterward. Like a story that started too early, theirs had a lead, a beginning, but it never made it to the middle. Maybe they had it too soon, and poured their hearts into the first few lines before either of them was ready for the rest. Now, Adra is left wondering: Was it their story that was wrong? Or just the timing? Devastated by being left without warning, Adra convinced herself to move on. Yet, fate seemed to be playing her within its palm. In their first year in senior high, she found herself seated in the same classroom with the guy who once made her believe that love didn't need a label to be real, only the courage to feel it. Will a spark of affection rekindle, leaving their love for each other undefined, or will they take a risk and rewrite a new lead-one that's clearer, braver, and honest this time? ⋇⊶⊰❣⊱⊷⋇ The Lead I Wrote Too Soon Written by: Clypeusthetic
