Sabi ng parents niya, kusang lalapit ang lalaki sa kanya basta mag-aral lang siya nang mabuti. Kalokohan. Naka-graduate na siya at lahat pero wala namang lalaking luma-lapit. So, she made a promise na pagpasok niya ng law school ay maghahanap agad siya ng boyfriend. She wanted someone na gwapo dahil naniniwala siya na kung masasaktan na lang din siya, sa gwapo na.

Sino ba naman siya? Ni hindi nga siya kasama sa top 10 ng batch nila. At ang balita ay type nito 'yung matatalino. Ginawa niya na lahat, pero walang umeepekto... until she decided to befriend his best friend Samuel Hayes Fortalejo.

They say the classics never really went away. Like those red doll shoes that somehow manage to never go out of style. My guess is you can still spot at least one of these in this day and age: 1. A vinyl of Billy Joel's Piano Man spinning on your college roommate's desk 2. Love letters scribbled on the backs of postcards (Or) 3. A stack of developed film photos resting on your coffee table For Ian Decalion, his memory of a classic goes like this: 1. A yellow-orange tint spilling over the sea 2. The butter-yellow sundress (And) 3. A haunting seven-year love he never confessed... to a girl who's bound to break everyone's heart anyway My guess again? Some classics are just meant to last and haunt you for a lifetime. Kiss Mary Jane, #0 (Duology) LACED-UP MARY JANES June 2025 Started: June 11, 2025 [Book One] Finished: -- [Book Two] Finished: --
