Miguel Dela Peña had never failed at anything in his life.

As the student council president of St. Isidro University, he had perfected the art of control-whether in academics, extracurriculars, or even how people perceived him. Leadership, achievements, charm-lahat iyon ay bahagi ng kanyang maingat na binalak na buhay.

Kaya nang mapansin niya si Joaquin Rivera, alam niyang ito ang kanyang susunod na misyon.

Joaquin was different. Tahimik, palaging may dalang sketchbook, at tila walang pakialam sa mga nangyayari sa paligid. Hindi tulad ng iba, hindi siya impressed kay Miguel-hindi siya lumalapit, hindi siya tumitingin, at lalong hindi siya nagpapadala sa natural na charisma ng binata.

For Miguel, that was unacceptable.

If Joaquin wouldn't look his way naturally, then Miguel would simply make sure he had no choice.
