JUNIORS SERIES #1
How does it feel to be in love with your friend?
A life full of what if's, of moments you wish you had said something-done something-before everything slipped away. When you know you can fix it, you can fight for it... but you remain silent. Because silence felt safer than the risk of losing the one person you couldn't live without.
This is the story of Eulalia Seraphine Salvador, a girl born into privilege, pressure, and perfection. Sa pamilya niyang mataas ang standards, she learned early that achievements were the only measure of worth. Everyone saw her as flawless-beautiful, brilliant, talented. But behind her medals and recognition, she longed for something no award could ever give.
At dumating si Gavriel Phoenix Mariano sa buhay niya-her best friend. Her constant. Her quiet comfort.
From long walks after class, shared laughter in crowded hallways, to the soft, stolen moments where their eyes lingered too long, Eulalia realized that love doesn't always arrive loudly. Minsan, dumarating ito nang marahan-sa mga lihim na titig, sa hindi masabing pangungulila, sa koneksyong tumibay nang hindi nila namamalayan.
Pero paano kung dumating ang araw na kailangan mo nang sabihin... but is it too late?
At the end of eighth grade, Gavriel moved abroad without ever knowing the truth in Eulalia's heart. She stayed behind with a thousand unspoken words-and regret that clung to her like a shadow. Two years later, he returns in their tenth grade. Older. Changed. Still familiar. Still the boy she loved.
But can two people reconnect what they never had the courage to name?
Or will they remain nothing more than a bittersweet memory-two young hearts who loved each other silently, but lost their chance to ever say it?
A story of childhood love, missed chances, and the pain of staying quiet when your heart was screaming.
A love they held in their hearts, yet the world never let it be.
