Lab Partner, Love Later (Fifth Bell Series #2)

Experiments, formulas, at balancing chemical equations? Yan ang mundo ni Aeris Dominique Alcaraz, the undisputed STEM queen. She breathes calculus, eats periodic tables for breakfast, and treats love like it's a failed hypothesis because being top 1 means no distractions, no feelings, and definitely no clowns allowed.

Pero ngayong nagbalik ang ex niyang certified two-timer at ngayon eh dikit nang dikit na parang germ sa test tube na ayaw mamatay, Aeris has had enough. She makes one not-so-her-style move para matahimik ang paligid, at lalo na, para matahimik 'yung isang hayop na akala mo may karapatang magbalik.

This is where Matteo Jace Park casually walks in...pero late, as usual. The definition of a lazy genius. The kind of guy who doesn't raise his hand in class, pero laging tama ang sagot.
He paints in his free time, talks like he doesn't care, and somehow looks like he walked out of a webtoon. And for some reason? He agrees to the plan. No questions asked.

The deal was simple: Pretend. No strings. No drama. No falling.

But love has a weird way of defying logic, even for the most calculated minds.

The more they fake it, the more real it starts to feel.
And in a world built on formulas and logic, they might've just discovered the one equation they can't solve: each other.
