Synopsis:
Leandro Arcell Cruz, a soft-spoken yet resilient Grade 11 HUMSS student, joins the senior high varsity volleyball team, hiding a painful past and a body that draws both admiration and envy. Once a team captain in junior high, Leandro was born to lead on the court-but the real game begins off the court when three teammates unexpectedly fall for him.
Jaxon Reeve Castillo, a middle blocker, falls in love with Leandro at first sight, even before they became teammates. Jared Allen Lozano, the charismatic setter hides his feelings behind teasing smirks. And Ryker Hale, the cold but stunning opposite spiker, silently softens every time Leandro is near.
As Leandro finds himself at the center of an emotional battlefield, jealousies ignite, friendships are tested, and buried traumas begin to resurface. With rumors, bullies, and rivals trying to tear him down, Leandro must navigate heartbreak, identity, and self-worth all while chasing his passion for volleyball.
In a world where the court isn't the only place people play games, can Leandro spike through the pain and find a love that won't reject him?
Eli Tanaka doesn't have time for distractions.
Focused, guarded, and brutally competitive, he's fighting for a future - on the field and beyond. The only thing getting in his way is Luca Moreno: loud, reckless, infuriatingly charming... and very, very off-limits.
They play on the same soccer team. They have everything to lose.
So when a late-night mistake turns into something they can't stop, Eli makes one rule - nobody can know.
But keeping secrets gets dangerous.
Especially when Luca starts looking at him like he means more than a hookup.
Especially when the world - and the team - start watching.
This is not a love story.
Not yet.
It's a game of obsession, touches that don't make it into stats,
and the thrill of wanting something you're not supposed to have.
