Frosty_Death
Fresh from the shattered pieces of her first love, Jayla Isabelle Cuevas steps into a new chapter of her life-one filled with unfamiliar streets, crowded cities, and the overwhelming demands of college. Lost between who she was and who she is meant to become, she convinces herself that love is the last thing she needs.
But fate has a way of arriving unannounced.
In the midst of lectures, deadlines, and sleepless nights, she meets Marco Lucien Buenavista-a simple blockmate who slowly becomes the reason her heart learns to beat differently again. What begins as stolen glances and quiet admiration soon blossoms into feelings too deep to ignore. Yet in a world where dreams, grades, and responsibilities take center stage, Jayla chooses to keep her heart hidden.
For she does not know if Marco's smiles carry the same meaning, or if she is merely a friend in the story he is writing. Afraid that a single confession could shatter the comfort they share, she buries her feelings beneath unspoken words, choosing silence over the risk of losing him.
As semesters pass and emotions grow between the spaces of conversations and lingering glances, Jayla finds herself caught between hope and fear, love and friendship, holding on to a question only time can answer:
How long can a heart stay silent before it can no longer hide what it feels? When that day comes, will Marco be waiting on the other side-or will Jayla simply become another unforgettable memory from his college days?
