Halos perpekto para sa mata ng iba kung titignan ang pamilya Gevouro. Isang tinitingala at hinahangaang Baranggay Kagawad ang haligi ng tahanan, at isang lisensyadong guro naman sa Elementarya ang ilaw ng tahanan. Ngunit sa likod ng halos mukhang perpektong imahe ng pamilya, para sa dalawang supling ng pamilya Gevouro ay isa lamang itong ilusyon. Tanging ang bawat sulok lamang kasi ng dalawang palapag na bahay, ang nagsisilbing saksi sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na buhay.
Para kay Astrea Yachin Gevouro, palaisipan sa kaniya kung bakit gano'n na lamang kastrikto ang kanilang ama pagdating sa kaniya. Idagdag pa rito ang kakaibang pagtrato nito pagdating sa nakakatanda niyang kapatid na lalaki. Halos tuwing nasasaksihan niya kung papaano iparamdam nito ang pagkagsuklam at pagkamuhi sa kaniyang kapatid, ay tila unti-unting pinupunit ang kaniyang puso.
Dahil sa pagiging strikto ng kanilang ama, naging isang napakalaking hamon para kay Astrea ang pakikipagsocialize. Pahirapan siyang makipagsalamuha sa mga taong hindi niya kilala, lalong-lalo na sa mga kaedaran niya. However, this never stopped her from being a consistently high-achieving student.
So, when she stepped into senior high, she knew exactly what she wanted: to be the class valedictorian.
No distractions, no exceptions.
This was her goal, and she was determined to make it happen.
Until the unexpected happened, during Orsem, her close friend Kersten Lyrica Limjaco did something foolish-an act that sent shockwaves through Astrea's carefully constructed world, marking the beginning of the constant crossing of paths between her and Ezhrell Thardeus Villnuevez, a Grade 12 STEM student.
And with every awkward interaction, every shared glance, Astrea couldn't help but feel a strange pull, a flicker of undeniable chemistry blossoming between them.
You are more than your grades. Be kind to yourself, and remember that learning is a lifelong journey, not a destination
