Elaine Villamor isn't the type to make a scene. As an ABM student, she moves through her days with a quiet composure-calm enough to avoid drama, pero hindi sobrang calm na parang wala siyang nararamdaman. Medyo insensitive sa mga nangyayari sa paligid, she often floats through her school days without making waves. She's average smart-enough to stay on the honor list without killing herself over every grade-and hindi naman siya super pretty, pero may charm na nakakakuha ng attention ng ilan. Her life? Simple, predictable, ordinary... just the way she likes it.
Until he came.
He's the type that makes everyone notice without even trying. Smart, good-looking, toned body na parang hindi lang basta gym-goer, mysterious, and somehow, effortless sa lahat ng ginagawa niya. Friendly pero may aura ng hindi mo basta-basta maiintindihan. Sometimes, insensitive-pero in a way na nakakaintriga. And kung tatanungin ka kung may girlfriend siya? Wala. Never. Ever.
Elaine didn't plan to care. She didn't plan to feel anything at all. But little by little, she started noticing the way he laughs, the way he gestures when explaining something smart, the subtle kindness he shows only to those who matter. Minsan, nakaka-frustrate siya-kasi parang laging may distansya siya sa iba.
She catches herself thinking about him more than she wants to admit. The once manhid, indifferent
Elaine slowly begins to soften. She starts smiling at things that used to annoy her, looking forward to seeing him in class, even defending him silently when she sees someone underestimate him. And the weirdest part? She's starting to care... deeply.
Paano kung ang tao na akala niya ay basta stranger sa school life niya, yun pala ang magbabago ng lahat-from being insensitive to falling, unguarded, completely in love?
