Jackson Ramirez has always followed the rules-his family's, society's, everyone's but his own. Trapped in a life dictated by expectations, he buried his passion and silenced the voice that once made him feel alive. So when Kenzo Adachi walked into his class-blunt, intense, and always acting like he owned the room. Jackson couldn't help but feel . . . annoyed. Annoyed by his confidence. Annoyed by how he said whatever he wanted. Annoyed by how free he was. But Kenzo? He saw something else. He saw a bird trying to breathe through its cage. And Kenzo, the kind of man who lives by his own rules, was ready to go beyond the boundary-just to help Jackson learn how to fly.

Student Series 2: "Bahala Na" Attitude 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 Manifesting a fatalistic attitude is nearly a norm inside a classroom and is often practiced by students who have lost their will or do not have any will at all to make a change in their life. They submit themselves to the Higher Being or anyone superior to them through tough times. Bahala na si Lord. Bahala na si Batman. Bahala na; babagsak din naman. Bahala na; at least tapos na. Aspasia Estiana was naturally born to be competitive for a reason so this kind of philosophy and bad habit is a blur in her dictionary. Alam niya ang sariling kakayahan at hindi siya kuntento sa 'puwede na' kung kayang higitan pa. Hindi puwedeng basta 'bahala na' kung may mababago pa. In fact, she can secure her valedictorian award if only not these two geniuses have to transfer in her school and overtake her place. But instead of feeling threatened, she sees them as some worthy academic rivals. Finally. Eventually, she builds a friendship with the kinder as she secures a special space in her life for the austere one... not realizing she just takes the risk of letting things happen out of hand for the first time. Little does she know, saving him a spot in her heart means taking her life into the pit of devastation.

Student Series 1: The Mañana Habit 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 Delaying tasks is one of the constant poor practices of some students, and cramming is their last hope to atone for their unwise decision. Procrastinators live by the motto: If it is not the due date, it is not the do date. Eleftheria Isra is one of the great examples. She loves deadline hence working in full swing to beat the clock is her favorite habit. Bukod sa hindi madaling tigilan ang isang bagay na nakasanayan, mahirap din para sa kanya ang pigilan ang nararamdaman sa isang tao na hindi niya inakalang balang araw ay kanyang magugustuhan. A real smart cookie with a heart of gold puts her into a heated pan, melting her softly like a butter and stirring it with love. Could this person help her understand that making things ahead of time is always better than putting them off? Or, after making him feel loved and important, would she still do something that deliberately breaks a soft heart that it is too late for her to realize?
