Tumili silang lahat nang sabay sabay naming nakita sa bulletin board ang pangalan ko. Samantalang unti-unti namang napawo ang ngiti ko habang tinitingnan ang listahan ng mga may pinakamalaking QPI. I was sure I did so well. It isn't a question if I made the list or not because I know I will always make it. Kaya nga nakangiti na ako kanina pa dahil siguradong sigurado ako. Kaso ngayon...nawalan na nang tuluyan ang ngiti ko. Because I know that I do not hold the top spot of the dean's list, and to me...this is the worst.

Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022

Madali lang matagpuan ng mga mata ang abot-tanaw. Sa paningin ng karamihan, isa lang itong guhit-tagpuan. It's the line where the sky and the sea meets. It is the thread that divides what's above and what's beneath. But for Prim, it only seems a one look away line, but there's a lot of things hidden beyond it. Known for being a school sweetheart, she can easily be described. Mabait, maganda, kalmado, at... masaya. Palagi kasi siyang nakangiti at maintindihin sa iba. Idris, the school heartthrob is no different because he is as easy to be defined. Magaling kumanta, matinik, bibo... at masaya. Palagi rin kasi siyang nakangiti at nagpapatawa. They're both horizons that can easily be seen, but under their sleeves hide the scars that are yet to heal. In each other arms, they found their hearts' desire. Will they be able to cross the horizon together or are they meant to sail alone? Finished: November 2021
