Falling Off The Syllabus

Written in Taglish • Professor x Student • GL, Sapphic •

Ravena Winter Arden thought she had her life figured out: matalino, talagang interesado sa kursong kinuha niya, party goer, a social butterfly, flirt with boys she'll never text back, and survive college without ever falling too deep. Love? Not in the syllabus. Women? Never even considered.

But then came Professor Aureli Kelsey Valencia.

Brilliant, breathtaking, and always composed. Ma'am Aureli is the woman on campus everyone respects and no one quite knows how to get close to. Fiercely principled, deeply private, and already promised to someone else. She's the kind of woman who draws silence when she walks into a room, not because she's cold, but because she never wastes a single word.

Ravena was just supposed to be another student. But one question, one look, and one unexpected moment after class starts to unravel everything Ravena thought she knew-about her, about love, and about herself.

What begins as innocent curiosity becomes a secret she can't admit.
What should've been just another subject turns into the biggest test of her life.

And in a classroom where rules are written in stone, Ravena finds herself falling for the one person she was never meant to love.
