Not every first love is meant to last... but some stay with you forever."
Ariana Mae Villanueva only wanted one thing for her last year of senior high school to graduate with honors and make her parents proud. Love was never part of the plan.
Until the school's quiet new transferee, Nathan Elijah Reyes, was assigned to the empty seat beside her.
He was the kind of boy everyone wanted to know but no one could truly understand. Behind his calm smile and perfect grades was a secret that made him believe he wasn't meant to get close to anyone.
What started as awkward conversations, shared notes, and late-night study sessions slowly turned into something neither of them expected.
But senior year doesn't last forever.
Between friendships that will be tested, dreams that pull them in different directions, family struggles, painful choices, and the countdown to graduation...
Will their story end with the final school bell?
Or will some promises be strong enough to survive beyond the classroom?
Because sometimes, the person who changes your life is the one you were never supposed to meet.
Before We Graduate is a heartfelt story about first love, friendship, growing up, and the bittersweet reality that not every ending is truly goodbye.
