Erin Franco migrated to California from Philippines at age 10, and it has been a life of battling racism and dodging bullies since then. She just never thought she'd have to think about other problems as well in her senior year in high school.. like college applications, love, and breaking the Harvard-bound genius, Silene Rivera's laptop.
Erin, the volleyball player, and Silene, Adler's pride, have always been aware of each other's existence. Funny how the world seems smaller when you're a minority. They just never bothered with it. In high school, jocks hang out with jocks, like scholars hang out with scholars after all. Until senior year. Something always happens in senior year. But how much are they willing to go against all odds, should the universe take back what it said about them being possible together?

Written in the Stars ✨ Elora Ramirez? Walang pake sa love. Wala rin siyang pake sa volleyball. Pero isang normal na araw lang sa eskwelahan, nakita niya si Raven Villamor-pawisan, hinihingal, at mukhang bida sa slow-mo scene ng isang sports anime-at BOOM. Wala pang limang segundo, na-in love agad si baby alien. At simula noon, wala nang katahimikan ang buhay ni Raven. Mula sa matinding stalking, planned coincidences (na sobrang halata naman), hanggang sa pangungulit na parang may utang si Raven sa kanya-Elora is on a mission. Ang problema? Si Raven? Deadma. At kung may feelings man siya, mukhang hindi yun para kay Elora. Eh kaso, may kasabihan tayo: "Kung ayaw, may paraan. Kung gusto, lalong may paraan." Pero hindi lahat ng love story puro kilig. May heartbreaks, may tampuhan, may ex na akala mo wala na pero nandiyan pa pala (pakshet), at may alien threat na dumating para guluhin ang buhay ni Elora. At siyempre, may isang planong kabaliwan na sobrang risky pero baka yun lang ang paraan para makuha ang taong mahal niya. Kasi diba? Sabi nga nila, kung para sa'yo, babalik at babalik yan. Lalo na kung written in the stars ang love story niyo. ✨ At naniniwala po ang ating Baby Alien: "Kapag gusto, may paraan. Kapag ayaw, Buntisin nalang-AY, MALI! HAHAHA, CHAROT LANG PALA!" 🤣👽✨

Superficial Things | ✓
SUPERFICIAL THINGS Trivial drama. Stupid games. Petty deals. Things Fiel never imagined he'd be dragged into, especially not after finally making it to college. He had only two priorities: school and family. That was the plan. But within the first few weeks, reality hit harder than he expected. Overwhelmed and cornered, he found himself making a deal he never thought he'd consider; with none other than the school's infamous heartbreaker. Karson Icarus Silverio. A name that screamed wealth, charm, and trouble. All Karson wanted was to win over Fiel's best friend. And Fiel? He just wanted the cash. Becoming a reluctant wingman felt like a small price to pay...at first. But as the days blurred and boundaries thinned, Fiel began to realize something unsettling: nothing was going according to plan. And maybe, there was more between him and Silverio than either of them cared to admit. Questions started to race in his head. How long could they keep pretending? And when would they admit that these weren't just superficial things anymore? Nonetheless, when a pill is begging to be swallowed, it would be difficult to deny it. Not when it keeps you up until dawn.Complete

Blissfully Chaotic
High school sweethearts. That's how people labeled Cydney Vallescas and Bryle Velleres. Their relationship is an ideal thing for some high school students like them. Paano ba naman... naging magkaklase, naging magkaibigan, nagkaligawan, sabay pumapasok sa school at sabay ding umuuwi, at parehong date ang isa't isa sa prom. Their young relationship is just so ideal for teens like them. It's like a dream. Iyong tipong mapapa-"sana all" na lang ang mga tao sa paligid nila. Lahat ay humahanga sa kanila at hinihiling na sana'y sila na talaga hanggang sa huli. Sila rin naman ay ganoon ang tanging hiling. Kaya lang minsan, kapag nangangarap tayo nang sobra, mas lalong hindi iyon nagkakatotoo. When Cydney and Bryle graduated high scool, that's the time they realized that maybe... they aren't really meant for each other. Maybe it's really true that high school lovers seldom become each other's end game. [The photo of this book cover is NOT MINE. I got it from Pinterest. Credits to the rightful owner.]Complete
