To Wish Upon a Fallen Star

Tala Brillantes has everything she could ever wish for. She's the smartest student in her class, and her position as top student has been unchallenged ever since she was a child. Praise is a constant thing she has heard from her loving parents, her cousin whom she loves as a sister, her classmates, and her teachers. And to top it all off, she's blessed with a rare magical ability that allows her to harness the power of the stars. The limelight has always been on her.

That is until her longtime academic rival, Noctis Nakagawa, recently bested her in one of their tests. While it shouldn't threaten her that much, Noctis was never one to try and take their competition seriously. And to make matters worse, he becomes her partner for their final group project. If she wants to graduate, she has to convince him to do the project that she knows will get the highest score. But doing so means pulling Noctis on her level, which means she has to work even harder in her classes if she wants to remain in the spotlight.

Despite everything, she's confident this competition will be easy, especially with the stars on her side. After all, she herself is a star. And she intends to stay that way. No matter the cost.
