Is This The Class For Falling In Love?
There's a mysterious elective whispered about in the hallways-"Is This the Class for Falling in Love?" Some call it fate disguised as a subject, others just a silly rumor. Zephyrion Suarez, the brilliant and handsome top student, never intended to sign up for it. One wrong step lands him in the class, where he crosses paths with Kaidaira Astrid Juarez (Kai)-a girl admired for her beauty and charm, though not exactly known for being the smartest in academics. Their almost-matching surnames spark curiosity from everyone around them. But instead of a sweet love story, chaos brews. Kaidaira finds Zephyrion insufferably smug, and his constant teasing drives her up the wall. Zephyrion, amused by her fiery reactions, makes a game out of pushing her buttons. Soon, they're known around school as the pair who can't stop bickering, yet can't seem to stay away from each other either. Is this class really about falling in love... or about discovering that sometimes annoyance is just the first step toward something more?
