Workingstudent Stories

"Don't fall in love with me." It was one of the first things Cairo Laurent ever said to Ari Reyes. He never explained why. And she never planned on listening. Between hospital duties, sleepless nights, borrowed books, and conversations that somehow changed the way she saw the world, Ari slowly discovers that some people don't come into your life to rescue you. They come to help you become someone who no longer needs saving. A slow-burn story about growing up, healing, chasing impossible dreams, and finding love in the quietest places.

Elijah Navarro only wanted three things in life: To survive college. To help his mother. And maybe... eat peacefully for once. But everything changed the moment he met Lucien Moretti. Cold. Tattooed. Untouchable. The kind of man people feared without explanation.

"Review? Review? Ano ako, bobo?" 'Yan ang paborito kong linya tuwing may nagtatanong kung paano ako nakapasok sa UP. Akala nila may sikreto akong study routine. Akala nila may color-coded reviewers ako. Akala nila may 5 A.M. productivity vlog akong nakatago. Ang totoo? UP lang ang inapplyan kong university. Hindi ako nag-review para sa UPCAT. Working student ako. Ang pinakamalaking academic strategy ko ay magdasal, magdala ng lapis, at umasa na hindi ako maliligaw papunta sa exam room. Pero hindi ito kuwento ng isang "effortlessly smart" na estudyante. Ito ang diary ng isang babaeng sinusubukang pagsabayin ang pangarap, trabaho, grades, pamilya, at ang kanyang obsession sa kulay pink. Mula sa nakakatawang application mishaps, nakakahiya pero totoong college moments, hanggang sa mga gabing gusto na lang niyang sumuko, bawat pahina ng diary na ito ay nagpapatunay na minsan ang pinakamalalakas tumawa ay sila ring pinakatahimik ang mga laban. At kung naghahanap ka ng UPCAT review tips... Isara mo na 'tong libro. Wala kang mapapala sa'kin. Maliban na lang kung gusto mong matutunan kung paano mabuhay gamit ang dasal, delusyon, strawberry matcha, at isang mapurol na lapis.

Unfortunately, nobody warned them that the hardest part of fake dating isn't pretending to fall in love. It's realizing that you already have. And with graduation approaching and a future waiting for Daniel thousands of miles away, time is running out for both of them.
