Everything in Between (Iskolar #1)

Iskolar Series #1

People are not ready to hear that everything you do is politics. Everything is political. From the moment you were born, politics was already there waving at you. The things you buy, the people you surround yourself with-it's all shaped by politics. Lahat ay politikal.

Most people choose to stay away from it. Most of them say they don't want to be part of the noise because it's boring, exhausting, and people end up tearing each other apart just because of the specific colors they support.

And it is really tiring, not just physically, but emotionally.

But for Hiraya Eloise Fuentes, staying aware and staying involved was never a choice she questioned. It was never an issue. She knows that politics has the power to change the way we live, affecting even the smallest, to the biggest details of our daily lives. She believes that speaking up is never a mistake. That even when life gets heavy, nothing is impossible if people start understanding each other.

Dahil may pag-asa kung may naniniwala.

But carrying that kind of weight gets lonely sometimes. And there is only one person who truly listens to her. Ang nag-iisang taong nakikinig sa lahat ng galit niya sa gobyerno, at ang takbuhan niya kapag sobrang stressed na sa kolehiyo.

Iñigo Leon Javier.

Magkasama na sila noong mga bata pa, noong hindi pa man nila alam ang pangarap ng isa't-isa.

Ngunit... sa tuluyang pagbago ng ikot ng mundo, mananatili pa rin ba silang magkasama at magkakampi hanggang dulo gaya ng ipinangako?
