In The Shadow's Glow (ongoing)

Two distinct personalities, Ethan and Erin, stand out amidst the sea of students. Ethan, a paragon of academic excellence and responsibility, commands respect as a natural leader. His gaze is fixed firmly on the horizon of his future career, driven by ambition and determination.

Opposite him in demeanor yet equally captivating is Erin, whose carefree, happy-go-lucky disposition masks a depth of complexity. A perpetual optimist, she navigates the corridors with a nonchalant charm, leaving a trail of laughter and mischief in her wake. However, beneath her vivacious facade lies a labyrinth of secrets, carefully guarded from prying eyes.

Their paths intertwine amidst the whirlwind of high school life. Ethan is drawn to Erin's enigmatic aura, her unpredictable nature contrasting his meticulously planned existence.

Meanwhile, Erin finds solace in Ethan's unwavering stability, his steadfast presence offering a rare sense of security in her tumultuous world.

But amidst their growing connection, can Ethan and Erin bridge the chasm of their differences, from academics to career paths, plans in life, and societal expectations? Are they meant for each other, destined to defy the odds and carve their path? Or will the weight of their disparities ultimately tear them apart, leaving them to wonder what could have been?

"You probably thought my 'I love you's with you were just eight words. You don't get to enter my life and leave whenever you want. My love for you knows no bounds. This love is as steadfast as hell."
- Ethan

"How can I love him right if I can't even reach his dreams? Wala naman akong mailalaban. Lagi na lang akong nauunahan. Hindi ko alam kung paano niya nakikita ang halaga ko sa kanya"
- Erin
