Back then, he was nothing more than a name whispered in hallways.
Caiel Lucian Villafuerte - rich, quiet, untouchable. The senior everyone admired but no one really knew. Rumors followed him everywhere, and Vivian Alcantara never cared to find out which ones were true.
She was too busy living her own life - playing games, skipping reviews, laughing with friends. Just an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams.
But a lot can change in a few years.
Now in college, Vivian's glow-up turned heads, but her heart? It's been shattered too many times. Love, she decided, wasn't worth it anymore.
Until fate throws her right back into the orbit of the one person she never expected to see again - the boy she once brushed off as "just a rumor."
And this time, he's not just a name.
He's real. He remembers.
And he's everything she's been running from.
"You were just a rumor," she said.
"Maybe," he smiled, "but I'm standing right in front of you now."
