Crossed Pathways

In the bustling world of college, where dreams are built and futures take shape, two souls keep finding themselves on the same road-despite having no reason to be.

Libelle Habren, a second-year Medical Technology student, once had volleyball in her veins. But after losing her father-her coach-to a tragic accident on his way to a competition, she abandoned the sport altogether. Now, with her mother forbidding her from playing again, she's caught between obeying the only parent she has left or following the passion that still burns within her.

Gavril Leander, a second-year Aeronautical Engineering student and a fierce taekwondo athlete, keeps his world small. He doesn't waste time on people outside his trusted circle, preferring the comfort of discipline and the sky-high ambitions he's set for himself. Cold, distant, and uninterested in anything beyond his goals, he has no patience for unnecessary connections.

But fate has a way of pushing them together. Through crowded hallways, chance meetings, and unexpected moments, their paths cross again and again. Libelle, with her warmth and unyielding spirit, becomes a presence Gavril can't ignore. And despite his indifference, she finds herself drawn to the rare moments when his icy demeanor cracks.

In a story of college struggles, lingering grief, and the pull of an unexpected connection, Crossed Paths explores what happens when two people, walking different roads, keep finding themselves on the same one.
