The Equation Of Us

Let's be real-school isn't easy for everyone. Some people are born for it; they breeze through exams, ace every subject, and seem to have a secret code to surviving quizzes without breaking a sweat. But for the rest of us? We study 'til our eyes hurt, only to get red marks in return. We try, we fail, and we wonder why it's so hard to keep up while others make it look so easy.

Gianna Rye Medina lives that struggle every single day. With her average IQ, Math feels like a never-ending nightmare she can't escape. Failing grades? Already part of her routine. Pasang-awa scores in other subjects? That's her definition of "victory." But just when she's ready to stop trying, here comes Zion Blaze Zamora-their class's golden boy. A Math major. The school's academic archiver. The guy who probably dreams in numbers and wakes up with formulas in his head.

They couldn't be more different-she's always lost in class, and he's always on top. But when fate (and maybe a few group projects) start pulling them together, Gianna wonders: is Zion there to remind her of how far behind she is... or could he be the unexpected answer to the equation she's been failing all along?

A story about falling, failing, and finding the kind of connection that no grade or formula could ever predict.
