The Ocean Currents (BOOK ONE)

BY LAW, ALL SCHOOLS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A STUDENT PUBLICATION.

In the quiet coastal town of Daluyon resided a private, integrated school they called The Fishers' Academy Inc., known for producing the best students in town, with some garnering achievements in lands far away from home. No school is perfect, but mistakes are perceived as threats to the academe's squeaky-clean image, which has remained intact for decades.

To put themselves out there, in 2020, the school decided to launch The Ocean Currents, also known as Oceans - the school's new, official student publication - for compliance with the law, to hoard more awards, and to... be their Public Relations mouthpiece, something that wasn't part of what the law provides.

Daria Malanum, a fresh elementary graduate, was thrust into auditioning at Oceans because of her sheer skills and wit in campus journalism. Beneath the busy school lies facades waiting to be unfolded.
