When Kyle Adrien Valerio Cruz, the quiet transferee from San Vicente Integrated School, enters the chaotic world of STEM Section 1 at Del Rosario National High School, all he wants is to survive without drawing attention. But fate - and a curious biology teacher - has other plans.
Shaielle Ysabelle Rivera Dela Cruz, former valedictorian and everyone's "perfect girl," returns to Del Rosario after a rough stint in Manila. She's exhausted, broken by expectations, and just trying to breathe again. The last thing she expected was to be partnered in class... with him.
One microscope. Two awkward hearts.
And a moment that changes everything.

Sometimes, the smallest slides reveal the clearest truths.
And sometimes, love begins... with a lab report.
