I Didn't Expect (Fall Duology #1)
FALL DUOLOGY #1 Reivelloise Rivas Lacuesta College was supposed to be another peaceful chapter for Reivelloise Rivas Lacuesta. Yung tipong gaya ng elementary, junior high, at senior high niya: puro aral, bonding with friends, gala, at memories na iiyakan sa graduation. Simple and predictable. Pero biglang may papasok na bagong category sa buhay niya: love. After years of thinking "bata pa ako para magkacrush," Reiv finds herself falling hard for someone. Ang problema? Yung taong gusto niya, may ibang gusto. Wala siyang ibang pinansin kundi ito... pero ang crush niya, wala ring ibang tiningnan kundi ang taong hindi siya. So what will she do? Will she do everything just to be seen, or let fate decide what's meant for her? If it's meant to be, it will be. If not, then maybe it never was. In the middle of unreciprocated feelings, tahimik na kilig, at mga tanong kung "susuko ba o lalaban pa?" Reiv starts to see herself in the stories she used to only watch from afar. Minsan, habang iniintindi natin ang kilos ng ibang tao, hindi natin namamalayan... tayo rin pala, may sarili nang kwento na unti-unting nabubuo. What if ganoon si Reiv? What if the ending she never expected... was the one written for her all along?

Save to Heart (Student Series #2)

In fact, she can secure her valedictorian award if only not these two geniuses have to transfer in her school and overtake her place. But instead of feeling threatened, she sees them as some worthy academic rivals. Finally.
