Perez Iverson Claveria belongs to a well-known Claveria family, tied to the very name of their province. Growing up, he's got everything he wants, he needs... but growing up too, he realizes not everything he gets. Kasi gusto niya ng girlfriend pero tila ba ilag sa kanya ang mga babae sa lugar nila. Every meet up is a fail. Either siya yung hindi gusto o siya yung walang gusto. Pihikan. Pero pangit naman. He lacks something in the physical department according to some people. Walang dating. Boring. He's too normal and basic compared to his cousins. But then meeting Lianna Lou Arenas changed that whole game for him. Alam niyang wala siyang pag-asa. Pero ano ngayon? There's no way in hell he's backing out without a fight! E siya yung kausap e! Siya yung chinat! He can feel his legs shaking, his tongue numbing, because even with his family's background, even if he's a Claveria... walang kapantay iyon pagdating sa babaeng unang beses niyang ayaw sukuan. He has girls that he likes... but Lianna... she's someone he's not willing to let go. No fucking way. Even if it turns out to be all lies. Kasi hindi pala si Lianna yung kachat niya. It's a different girl. And the teas of Claveria begins.

𝗧𝗮𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 #𝟭 Some people just drift into our lives without us noticing. That's how Arianne Valerio first saw Gian Chavez, like a calm morning breeze. Until her friend started teasing her about him, slowly pulling him into her days. At first, she tries to brush it off but as he keeps appearing, an unfamiliar feeling quietly grows in her heart. With every encounter, Arianne finds herself noticing him in ways she never thought she would. But fate seems to play with them, separating them before anything can happen, only to cross their paths again as if nothing ever changed. And as her feelings deepen, she wonders if she can follow her heart or if she'll let the chance slip away once more.
