Ciel, a 17 year old student from the province, embarks on a new chapter of his life at Aragon University, a prestigious institution where he was accepted on a scholarship. It's his first time in the bustling city of Manila, far from the familiar comfort of his small town. In the heart of the capital, Ciel is eager to discover what life at Aragon has in store for him-new friends, challenges, and perhaps, an unexpected love.
With his calm demeanor, effortless humor, and emotional intelligence, Ciel easily wins over those around him, though his occasional clumsiness and love for strawberries make him even more endearing. As a dancer, he expresses himself through movement, but beneath the graceful exterior is a young man trying to navigate the complexities of life in the city, friendships, and maybe even love. In the midst of it all, the scent of strawberries lingers, a symbol of innocence and the sweetness of his journey.
Will life be tough for him moving from the province to the city?
What kind of life awaits him there?
How will he be able to handle himself alone?
And will he be able to find love?
Well, all that is yet to be discovered.
[BOOK 2]
Diego Santiago was not your average teenager.
He had a loving mother, a great best friend, a beautiful friend, an ex-boyfriend that gave him a traumatic experience, a soon-to-be stepbrother that helped along in that traumatic experience, a friend turned enemy, and finally, a messy slight crush.
It's a handful.
He was no longer a nobody but somebody with a bad name and a target on his head. He messed with the school's king, and he needed to face the consequences, or so they say and believe. Despite all these things that are making his life one big roller coaster, he still wants one thing in life, for his mother and friends to be happy.
Caden Mitchell had a hectic life of his own as well. He was the enemy at first and is trying his best to become a true brother and a true lover. He knew he needed to change, but his old habits keep crawling back. He needed to learn and grow as a person, and for the sake of his mental health, he needed to change fast.
Caden was on a mission, a mission to get back his soon-to-be stepbrother and his lover that meant more to him than he could express in words. He was growing desperate and was ready to do just about anything. Even if that meant leaving behind Victor, who he once saw was the closest thing to a brother he'd ever get.
