Mika Salamanca used to have it all-money, friends, and a perfect reputation.But after being accused of cheating and getting expelled from her prestigious school in Manila, everything fell apart. The worst part? She was framed by her own best friend.
Now, she's starting over in a quiet provincial school where no one knows her name-and she plans to keep it that way.
Brent Manalo is the exact opposite of the world Mika came from. He's cold, quiet, and focused on his goals as the school's top student and president. He doesn't care about drama, and he definitely doesn't care about rich girls with baggage.
But when their paths start to cross, Brent begins to see the truth behind Mika's silence. And Mika starts to see the cracks in Brent's walls.
They weren't looking for each other.
But sometimes, the people you're trying to avoid... are the ones who end up saving you.
