Love Beyond Codes and Classic

Mitrina Aiyesha Espera, a HUMSS student with a quiet heart, had never imagined falling for someone she barely knew. Yet there was Ross Ivan Figueroa, an ICT student-who had unknowingly captured her attention from the moment they both transferred to the same school for Senior High.

Their worlds had barely touched until one random day when they ended up sitting side by side in a crowded jeepney. The noise, the chatter and laughter of passengers, and the daily chaos around them faded into the background as Mina found herself stealing glances at Ross. She never expected to feel so drawn to someone she barely knew. The feeling was new and strange, a fluttering in her chest that made her breath catch. It was the kind of crush that didn't require words or explanations, just a glance-a simple, and fleeting moment that felt like the beginning of a story she'd been waiting to live.
