When the Manila Paper Fell
Evelyn never expected her new school to feel so lonely. Everyone already had their circles, their inside jokes, their histories. She was just the quiet, studious girl who kept her head down-until the day the manila paper fell during her report, and Jeremia stepped in.
He was everything she wasn't: loud, sunny, the boy everyone liked. She was the "black cat," he was the "golden retriever." Somehow, fate kept placing them side by side-seatmates, partners, almost inseparable.
Almost.
Because sometimes closeness doesn't last. Sometimes teasing turns into silence, friendship into distance. And sometimes, the person you thought might be yours... becomes someone else's.
Told through shifting moments of laughter, distance, and heartbreak, When the Manila Paper Fell is a story of first crushes, unspoken feelings, and the kind of love that lingers even when it shouldn't.
Is there still a chance for them?
