Seventeen-year-old Selina has always felt like a quiet shadow in a world that never quite noticed her. While others label her the "serious girl" or the one who's always lost in her notebook, Selina wrestles with a deeper question-Who am I, really?
When her literature teacher assigns an essay titled Being Me, Selina is forced to confront the parts of herself she's kept buried: the silence, the fear, the dreams, and the deep desire to be seen for who she truly is. As she begins her journey inward, navigating her home life, personal thoughts, and social expectations, Selina starts to uncover fragments of her true self. But each discovery leads to more questions, not answers.
Just when she begins to write her truth, Selina stumbles upon a secret-a family revelation that threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about where she came from... and who she might become.
And now, the real question is: can she tell her story truthfully, if she's not sure it was hers to begin with?

Ms. Maldini
Professor x Student | wlw | Age Gap | Genius Girl x Academic Enigma Maya is a brilliant mind with a past her memory chose to bury. She's eighteen, but she's not starting college-she's wrapping up her Master of Science in Quantum Physics. She enrolled at fourteen, a prodigy who moved through equations, theories, and sterile labs where everything made sense except, maybe, herself. Her focus is fixed on the path ahead-a PhD, more research, more certainty. But that fragile balance begins to shift after one unexpected encounter. During a routine session with her therapist, she meets a woman who, without warning, walks back into her life as a professor in a class Maya was never supposed to attend. Coincidence, consequence, or something else entirely? Quantum physics doesn't offer answers for the way a soul trembles. This is a story of blurred boundaries and buried memories, of forbidden tension and the quiet gravity between two women on opposite sides of a classroom. A slow burn. An ethical tightrope. An impossible pull that feels just as chaotic, just as precise, as the laws that govern the universe itself.
