CTU SERIES 9: Behind Stolen Glances

Taking up BSED Major in English, Shayne Ada Marie Gallarde, brims with excitement as she embarks on her college journey. Wishing to have a simple college life, she sets her sights on making friends, achieving excellent grades, and graduating on time to make her mother proud. With that, she sternly reminds herself to steer clear of any distractions along the way and focus on her studies.

But just when she believes she had it all planned perfectly, Duke Austin Montero-a striking, towering transfer student who's taking up BSHM, suddenly appears. He effortlessly commands attention as he roams the campus, captivating every girl's gaze, except for Shayne, who completely feels the opposite.

Until one day, Shayne finds herself terrified by the way her own heart reacts as she discreetly steals a glance at Duke from afar. Just like the stars she admires every night, Shayne believes that Duke is only meant to be loved by her from a distance.
