Mood-Diary
Paano kung ma-inlove ka sa isang taong may taning ang buhay? Gugustuhin at pipiliin mo pa rin ba siya? Anong gagawin mo para mapadama mo sa kanyang mahal mo siya? Gugustuhin mo rin bang malaman kung parehas ba kayo ng nararamdaman sa isa't-isa?

Lance Fajardo.
The badass, merciless, monster captain of the basketball varsity team and the King of Sta. Maria Academy. He was stone cold and intimidating. He wouldn't tolerate any bad behavior inside the school. Ano ka man o sino ka man, wala kang takas sa kanya. Mapa-teacher man o estudyante, hinding-hindi niya palalampasin at bubugbugin ka talaga niya kapag nagkamali ka ng gawa o ni kahit salita. Worst? Talagang sisirain niya pagmumukha mo because if you become his victim, magdasal ka na lang na sana dumating kaagad ang principal because the moment he'd start beating you, he always go all out, as if he was being possessed by some monster.
He was being feared, at the same, respected by the students. But unlike any other badasses out there, he was a loner.
Then he meet a nerd girl one Monday morning after their practice, that turns out to be a transferee student in their school, and that also happens to be his classmate.
Her name's Sheen. She's beautiful. And nerd. She always stutters everytime you'd talk to her. And she looks very--- fragile. And the moment he laid eyes on her, he already fell in love.
Despite being afraid of experiencing the same fate that happened to him before, the fate of being abandoned, again, he can't stop looking, caring and protecting her.
But each of us have our own demons inside us and in Lance's case, he was his own demon and he's letting it control him.
She was already drawn to him but the moment Lance feared the most, came. She saw and witnessed the demon side of him.
"It's game over. She'll run and stay away from me. She's afraid of me now. She'll--- leave me, too."
