They say silence is safe. That quiet girls stay out of trouble. But what if silence is the reason something breaks?
Amalya Dela Ríos has always lived in the background-soft-spoken, observant, and easily overlooked. But lately, there's a feeling she can't shake off. Like something's missing. Like something's wrong. A name she can't remember. A moment she can't take back.
Before the Bell Rings is a soft, introspective story about hidden pain, quiet friendships, slow-burn feelings, and the silent ways people fall apart...and find themselves again.

This is one of them. It began with a glance that felt like a secret-a tiny, perfect moment that turned the ordinary halls of high school into an adventure. It's the story of shared headphones and hand-holding under a starlit sky, of a romance so pure and hopeful it felt like a dream you never wanted to wake from. This is a journey through first loves and first goodbyes. It's a story about finding the courage to fall, even when you know there's a chance you might get hurt. The bell has rung. The story begins now.

A conspiratorial science fiction novel filled with mystery, impossible signals, and a truth not everyone is ready to face. It begins with a sound. It ends with a choice.
