A Blossom in the Concrete

In the quiet corners of a college library, Jassiah finds herself drowning in the unsolvable puzzles of both Calculus and unrequited love, painfully trapped in the orbit of her brilliant, teasing rival, Klyde, who openly pines for her flawless best friend, Lina. Jassiah reluctantly plays the part of the supportive bystander, but the delicate equilibrium of this unspoken love triangle is abruptly shattered when a clumsy library collision bleeds into a tense group dinner later that evening. Their waiter happens to be Nicholas, the lanky, charming Maritime Engineering working student who crossed paths with Lina earlier, and his smooth return of her lost belongings ignites an instant, effortless spark between them. As Lina playfully leans into the sudden tension and Klyde is stripped of his easygoing confidence, reduced to a defensive, territorial silence. Jassiah can only watch from the sidelines as the predictable math of her heartbreak suddenly shifts into a wildly volatile and dangerous new equation.
