Beneath the Surface of Storms

Eloise Yves Ramos, a proud HUMSS (Humanities and Social Sciences) student, thrives in her world of words, stories, and advocacy. Known for her sharp mind and unyielding determination, she dreams of making a difference through her passion for communication and social issues. But when her school announces the Inter-Strand Innovation Project-a year-long collaboration between students of different academic strands-her carefully planned senior year takes an unexpected turn.

Enter Lance Dhaile Rivera, the confident and brilliant ICT (Information and Communication Technology) student who is her polar opposite in every way. Lance thrives in the technical world of codes and algorithms, driven by logic and innovation. He's also Eloise's biggest academic rival, the one person who's always been a step ahead, much to her frustration.

Forced to work together on a groundbreaking project, Eloise and Lance are challenged to bridge their differences and combine their strengths. What starts as a clash of egos and ideas soon becomes a journey of unexpected camaraderie, mutual respect, and something neither of them saw coming-emotions that blur the line between rivalry and something deeper.

As they navigate late-night brainstorming sessions, heated arguments, and moments of vulnerability, Eloise and Lance must confront their preconceived notions about each other and themselves. But with the pressure of the competition, personal insecurities, and the ticking clock of graduation, will their partnership survive?
