Quite Playing Game

Aelise Suarez had a huge crush on the guitarist of a famous boyband on her campus-The Beast. Ever since she first saw him during elementary school, she made a promise to herself: This is the man I want to grow old with.The problem, however, was unrequited love. Why would someone like Kyle Damian Tuazon ever notice someone like her? Clearly, his type was the beautiful and intelligent kind-not someone clumsy and awkward like her.

But Aelise was determined to turn her one-sided love into something mutual. She vowed to make KD Tuazon fall for her, no matter how impossible it seemed. Despite everyone on campus knowing how obvious her feelings were, she gathered all her courage and confessed to KD during their JS Prom.

She thought it would be a magical night, the highlight of her young life. But instead of reciprocating her feelings, KD humiliated her. The night she had dreamed of for so long turned into a nightmare. How could she possibly make KD fall for her if, from the start, it was crystal clear that he didn't like her? How could she even continue loving someone so cold-like Elsa from Frozen?

After that embarrassing event, Aelise decided to give up. She avoided KD for weeks, convinced that her feelings were nothing but foolishness. But then, out of nowhere, KD kissed her-a kiss she never expected. That single moment reignited the spark she thought had died.

Was there a chance he felt something for her too? Clinging to that hope, Aelise continued to pursue KD, despite the endless mixed signals he kept sending her.
