Dreams are only earned, not given. This is what Anika Ysobel Miranda taught to herself. She may not be the smartest in the room but she is relentless. And in a world where success is measured by ranks and recognition, she knows that hardwork was her only way forward.
Then there's Sebastian Mikael Racelis who has always been the star everyone looks up to. Top of the batch, disciplined, and destined for greatness, his future seems to be written in ink.
Quietly, their worlds collided through shared dreams, late nights, and unspoken understandings. She falls first. Slowly. Surely. In the way you fall for someone you never plan to confess to.
But as high school ends and life pulls them in different directions, she is finally forced to face a painful truth: not all stars are meant to be reached. Some are only meant to be admired from afar... only meant to guide, not to be held. And some stars shine brightest only when you let them go.
