Before the stories unfolded, before the friendships deepened, there were names, dreams, and first impressions.
This character companion introduces you to the 11 hearts behind the story of "7:11"-a special circle of friends formed in Grade 7 whose bond continues to shine beyond the classroom walls.
These characters are the very core of the University Series, a collection of stories that will follow each of them as they grow, love, and discover themselves in college. For now, only one of them-Emilio Arthur Miguel Dizon-has taken center stage in Book 1. The rest of their journeys are still waiting to be told.
Get to know each of them in this prelude: who they are, what they love, and the sparks that make them unforgettable-even before the bell of Grade 7 officially rang.

Unspoken Feelings
What if the person you're helping fall in love... is the one you're secretly falling for? Zafirah never expected tenth grade to bring her closer to Killian. He used to be the loud, volleyball-loving bestie who once identified as gay. But now? He's different-calmer, more thoughtful... and somehow, the person her heart always looks for. They both claim to like someone else. They both help each other pursue these "crushes." But behind every laugh, every shoulder bump, every late-night kwento... something's changing. They don't say what they truly feel. They pretend. They lie. But the truth? It's in the unspoken moments. Slow-burn. Soft tension. Silent heartbreak. Two best friends. One truth they're both afraid to admit. Welcome to Grade 10 - St. Lorenzo Ruiz. Where the chismis is real, the feelings are confusing, and the friendships? Possibly life-changing.

Until one day, she met Ericka... and then, Hanz. Si Hanz, ang lalaking akala ng lahat, okay. Masayahin, charming, palakaibigan. Pero hindi nila alam, he's been carrying his own ghosts. Habang unti-unting bumabalik ang kulay sa mundo ni Rose, bigla namang umatras si Hanz. Timing, trauma, takot-lahat 'yon, sabay-sabay. This isn't just about love. It's about blooming kahit masakit. About holding hands kahit may takot. About learning to stay, even when everything says walk away. Because even when the world didn't believe in her, she bloomed anyway. She bloomed with silence, courage, fear, hope, doubt and a heart that never stopped. Disclaimer: This story touches on healing, trauma, and the quiet pressures we carry. Written in Taglish, it captures the raw and poetic moments of growing up.
