Freesia Mandeville has a habit of writing and doodling anywhere in Collins High School. May it be on the walls, chairs, and even on the comfort room's newly painted doors; even on the seat she's sitting on in their classroom as a silent rebellion against the current Student Council President - Rico Alvarez. One morning, she receives a reply from a student in another section who happens to use the chair during the afternoon shift of class. Out of boredom, she writes again hoping that the same thing would happen. It did . . . at the seat they both sat on.
