University Affairs #1
🏀🗂️
-
In this university love between student affairs rises.
Icent Therese Gomez, the student council president who runs on deadlines and discipline, and Jaze Louis Smith, the newly crowned basketball captain.
That evening, Icent should have been mourning a failed major exam. Jaze celebrating their championship victory. Yet in behind bleachers, a single shout broke the quiet Icent, a voice usually silent, letting herself be seen. And in that fleeting moment, their worlds collided. No introductions, no promises. Just a pull neither could explain.
A single moment out of place.
A meeting neither expected.
(COMPLETED) Bradley Teo Lauchico
High school friends fell in love with each other.
Haunted by a traumatic upbringing and a cruel false accusation that once drove her into a lonely life in Washington, Rome struggles to believe she is worthy of the Lauchico name or the future Bradley so desperately wants to build for her.
Bradley, ever persistent, chooses to dismantle his perfect image to prove that his love isn't a cage of expectations, but a safe space where Rome's brokenness is cherished.
The two trade the pressures, finding their ultimate healing in the realization that a home isn't defined by a status, but by the choice to stay when the rest of the world walks away.
