Journalistxathlete Stories

"Some rivalries start with competition. The dangerous ones start with curiosity." Sa loob ng ST. VERIDIAN UNIVERSITY, dalawang pangalan lang ang palaging pinag-uusapan- Kalix Sebastian Navarro, the STEM Valedictorian, basketball captain, campus heartthrob, at lalaking kinamumuhian ang media. At si Shane Althea Soriano, the campus' best journalist na walang pakialam sa athletes - especially kay Kalix. Academic Rivals. Campus Enemies. Parehong Achiever. Parehong competitive. Parehong ayaw magpatalo. But everything starts changing nang mapilitan silang maging Debate Partner. From hateful headlines to lingering stares... From sarcastic arguments to silent understanding.... Paano kung ang taong pinaka-ayaw mo.... s'ya rin pala ang taong mamahalin mo? And what if the athlete she kept criticizing...... ALREADY FELL FIRST?

CAPTURED HEARTS: Beyond the Final Bell - Book 2 Graduation ended one chapter... but their story was far from over. After high school, Carmel Reyes and Jeremiah Vilanueva finally step into the futures they've always dreamed of. Carmel begins her journey as a Journalism student, determined to tell stories that matter, while Jeremiah pursues his passion for basketball and sports as a college scholar. Different universities. Different routines. Different dreams. But the same promise to choose each other-every single day. As college opens doors to new friendships, unexpected opportunities, and challenges they've never faced before, Carmel and Jeremiah must learn that love isn't measured by how often you see each other, but by the trust, sacrifices, and effort you give, even from a distance. Can their relationship survive the pressure of growing up? Or will the distance between their dreams slowly pull them apart? Filled with heartwarming moments, campus life, long-distance romance, friendship, and the realities of chasing your future, Captured Hearts: Beyond the Final Bell is a story about discovering that love doesn't stop after graduation-it simply learns how to grow. Because the best love stories aren't the ones that end with "forever." They're the ones that choose each other, over and over again, through every new beginning. 📸🏀❤️
