JOURNAL SERIES 1 *** Most of the romantics believe that love, at first sight, is real. Like, they suddenly felt the spark of love, and that's how they knew that they were meant to be. However, it does not make sense to a girl who labeled herself as 'no romantic'. She does not easily believe anything unless it is proven. But, a stranger proved her that one can also believe through a person's own experience, and that experience with a stranger, served as the key for her to unlock the romantic side of her.

I wrote this fun bit of fiction on a lark after listening to The Railsplitter Podcast. Jacopo della Quercia, the author of The Great Abraham Lincoln Pocket Watch Conspiracy challenged the audience to write something using his characters. I fell in love with Archie Butt in his story... so behold!

Character: Jay Alvarez - Grade 12 STEM student at University of Santo Tomas. Smart, quiet, a bit guarded, secretly loves photography. Isaiah Cruz - Grade 12 STEM student at De La Salle University (DLSU)'s main campus (senior high). Outgoing, witty, but has a hidden loneliness behind his cheerful mask Jay, a quiet but determined STEM student from the University of Santo Tomas, never thought a random night along España would change his world. That's when he met Isaiah - confident, outspoken, and a fellow STEM senior from La Salle. What begins as an unexpected encounter slowly turns into something more: late-night study dates, secret hangouts after class, and unspoken feelings neither of them can ignore. But their worlds don't just collide in the streets of Manila - they clash on the UAAP volleyball court, where pride and rivalry run deep. As the cheers grow louder and the stakes get higher, Jay and Isaiah must learn to balance rivalry and romance. Because sometimes, the hardest battles aren't the ones fought on the court, but the ones inside the heart. 🏐 Rivals by school. Partners in secret. A love that defies the game.
