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?

Never Descending
SIS (Social Issue Series) #5: Victim Blaming Why is talking about sex a taboo? What's wrong with sex? Sex is normal. Sex is fine. As long as it is consensual then all else is good. But someone being sexually open does not and will never equate to providing license for slut shaming or sexual harassment. Iris Everleigh is an all-around social media influencer. She isn't your typical dalagang Filipina. Her audacity and exceptionality are what set her apart from the rest. She enjoys things without giving a single fuck to whatever people has to say. Ace Frederick is the complete opposite. A primitive and vigilant guy. Never in his wildest dreams would he want to involve himself to someone who would just make his life complicated. His vision was simple: Be successful enough, get a decent woman to get married to, and start a family of his own. So what could happen if they stumble upon each other? A club probably? Where Ace was just supposed to attend his friend's bachelor party? But ended up crossing paths with the irresistible and drunk Iris? Will he be able to stand by his principles? Or would it be impossible to?Lengkap

FROM FRIENDS TO LOVERS (AND BEYOND)
There are moments in life so small, so ordinary, that you barely notice when everything changes. A glance held a little too long. A laugh that feels different in your chest. A touch that lingers. She became my best friend, my constant. Late-night calls, endless adventures, secrets whispered into the dark. It was always easy with her, natural. Safe. But somewhere between laughter and promises, something shifted. I didn't know it at first-not really. I just knew that when she smiled, it felt like the sun had chosen me. That when she cried, it hurt more than my own heartbreaks. That when she was near, the world made a little more sense. This is the story of how we found each other-not as we were, but as we were meant to be. From friends, to lovers, and somewhere even deeper than that. Because sometimes, the greatest love stories start with a simple truth: it was always you.
