Prologue

“Happy birthday to you… happy birthday to you…”The soft, lilting melody of children’s voices filled the room, their faces lit by the flickering glow of a single candle. At the center of it all stood Limstella Andrienne, her eyes wide with excitement as she watched the tiny flame atop her birthday cake. She was seven today, surrounded by her friends—Jayde, Ren, Rex, and other children of their age whose families shared deep ties with her own.“…Happy birthday, dear Stella… happy birthday to you.”As the final note faded, Stella leaned forward, closed her eyes tightly, and blew out the candle. The room erupted into applause, her friends cheering as she opened her eyes with a wide, toothy smile.Jayde was the first to press a gift into her hands, a large, carefully wrapped box that seemed almost too big for her to carry. “Andie! Here’s my present. Open it!” she exclaimed, her face alight with anticipation.Stella opened the box, revealing a soft white teddy bear, adorned with a pink ribb

“Selena? Anak? Halika dali!”Selena stepped out of her brother’s room, carefully closing the door behind her. “Nay, bakit?”, she asked as she followed the voice of her mother from their living room.“Halika, anak. Tignan mo 'to. May sulat ka galing sa Wynnford. Buksan mo na.” Excitement radiated from her mother’s face as she eagerly handed her the letter.Selena’s brows knitted together. “Wynnford? Bakit naman po nila ako padadalhan ng sulat? Hindi naman po ako nag-apply d’un?”Sobrang mahal kaya ng tuition d’un. she thought, Ginto ‘ata mga libro nila, her heart beating a little faster.“Nakita ko na may scholarship program sila, kaya ipinasa ko ‘yung requirements na hiningi nila. Form 137 saka diploma lang naman.” A proud smile tugged at her mother’s lips.Selena hesitated, gripping the envelope tighter. “Mataas ang standard nila. Baka ‘di rin ako pumasa.” Doubt was evident in her voice.“Kaya nga buksan mo na para malaman na natin,” her mother urged, eyes twinkling with anticipation.

Selena slowly opened her eyes, blinking at the white ceiling above her. A faint heaviness lingered in her head as she blinked up at the white ceiling, the familiar scent of antiseptic confirming where she was—the school infirmary. Carefully, she pushed herself up, pressing a hand against her temple.“Feeling better?”The gentle voice made her turn to her left. Lei, the school doctor, was watching her with a small, knowing smile.Selena gave a slight nod. “Okay na po pakiramdam ko.” The throbbing had dulled, and she figured the short rest had helped. Still, a nagging question tugged at her thoughts. How did I even get here?“Pa’no po ako napunta dito?” she asked, her voice quiet but laced with curiosity.“Mr. Fontanilla rushed you here earlier,” she replied matter-of-factly. “Hahimatay ka habang paakyat ka kanina. Buti na lang at hindi ka nauntog sa sahig.”Selena felt heat creep up her neck. Fontanilla? That could mean either Alexis or Alexander. Sino sa kanila? The thought made he

“Salamat sa paghatid,” Selena murmured as they reached the gate of her dormitory, gratitude lacing her soft voice.Alexander handed her bag back, and she accepted it with a small smile. “Sige, papasok na ‘ko,” she added, turning to go inside.“Wait.”She halted mid-step and turned back to him, curiosity flickering in her eyes. “Hmm? Bakit?”“You mentioned earlier na may trabaho ka pa,” he reminded her, recalling their earlier conversation.“Ah, oo,” she sighed, rubbing her temples slightly. “Kailangan kong pumasok. May naiwan pa kasi akong trabaho do’n.”His brow lifted. “Sa’n ka ba nagtatrabaho?”“D’yan sa coffee shop na malapit dito,” she answered, pointing in its direction.His brows arched slightly in recognition. “MoCafé?”She nodded.Alexander sighed, “Kung ako tatanungin,” he suggested, his voice firm yet gentle, “mas okay kung magpahinga ka na lang muna.”Selena frowned, shaking her head. “Hindi pwede. Baka maalis ako sa trabaho kapag ‘di ako pumasok.”“You have a valid reason

2nd of Spring - A Sudden Interest (P2)

Marga walked into the Fontanilla estate without saying anything to the maid who welcomed her. It's common knowledge that she visits the mansion to see either Alexis or Alexander, but most often the former.She went straight to the library, where Alexander spent most of his time. He was seated on the study table, reading a book, when she found him. She slammed her palms against the table. “Who is that girl you were with? ”Alexander flipped a page on his book, not bothering to look at Marga. “Pwede ba, Jayde. Hindi lahat ng babaeng makakausap ko or ni Ren kailangan kilala mo.”“I have to. Baka mamaya pera lang ang habol n’un sa inyo,” she said, her voice raised an octave.“She’s not like that.”She crossed her arms “How would you know? You saved her from falling down the stairs. Isn’t that enough? Kailangan pa ba talaga na ihatid mo s’ya?”Alexander closed his book and looked at Marga. His eyes were stern. “Stop this. Or I’ll hate you as Ren does.” He stood up and left the library. Ma

“How are you going to play with that kind of injury, ha, Fontanilla?” Mr. Herrera, the basketball team's coach, asked, his forehead creased.“I’m sorry, coach,” was Alexander’s only answer. “Sorry? How could you hide such thing?” He massaged his temple. He sighed. “Hindi ko pa malalaman na may injury ka kung hindi ko nakita ang reaksyon mo nung mabangga ni Simon 'yang kamay mo. Pa’no na lang kung lumala ‘yan? Ano na lang ang mangyayari sa team?" His coach said continually, his tone hadn't changed.He didn’t say a word. He let his coach talk, words were only passing by his ears. Besides, he didn’t see the need to explain anything.“Ang mabuti pa,” Mr. Herrera continued, not even noticing that he was already talking to air, “humingi ka kay Miss Lei ng medical certificate, para maipaalam natin sa administrators na hindi ka muna makakasali sa practice. At para na rin maipahinga mo ‘yang kamay mo,” he said, pointing to Alexander’s wrist. “Mahihirapan kami sa Intramurals kung wala ka du’n.

Selena fixed her gaze on him. Totoo ba ‘tong naririnig ko? Inaaya n’ya akong lumabas? ‘Di ba ako nananaginip? “Wala. Walang gagawin. Libre ‘yan pagkatapos ng klase natin, ‘di ba?” Kringle interjected. She elbowed her friend beside her, unsure whether it was Lucy or Sharmaine. Sharmaine, as the one who was elbowed, felt compelled to speak up as well. “Tama. Tapos naman na lahat ng gagawin namin kaya pwede na s’ya.”Lucy didn’t say anything, but she nodded in agreement with what the two had said.Alexis simply smiled and waited for Selena to respond. “Selena?” he asked once more. “Huy, Lena. Kinakausap ka ni Prince Charming. Sumagot ka naman,” Kringle whispered in her ear. Selena recovered from the shock. She wanted to say something but was very happy to respond so she said nothing but nodded at Alexis.His princely smile grew bigger. “It’s settled then. Dadaanan kita dito sa room n’yo, next Friday after class. Sige, see you.” He waved to her before walking away. Selena and her fri

Selena left the café the moment her shift ended, something she rarely did. Usually, she’d stay a little longer, picking up extra hours whenever possible. But today, she didn’t have the luxury of time. She needed to find Alexander and talk to him—now. They would see each other later at the Student Council meeting, but her nerves wouldn’t settle until she’d told him. Next Friday was her date with Alexis, and she couldn’t let Alexander find out the wrong way.She searched all over the campus, her anticipation mounting. She checked the basketball court, hoping he’d be practicing, but there was no sign of him. She went to the council room, hoping he might be handling paperwork early, but it was empty. She even peeked into 2A’s classroom, and, when that turned up nothing, stopped by the infirmary, just in case he was there for his wrist injury. But every search led to a dead end.That left only one place she hadn’t checked: the rooftop.She felt a prickle of anxiety as she looked up at the s

4th of Spring - Scattered Thoughts, Sensible Plans (P2)

The moment she started, her friends quieted, leaning in with eager curiosity. Kringle even propped her chin on her hands like a little kid, and Lucy gave her a more serious nod, waiting for Selena to go on. Selena explained the whole situation, starting with Alexander’s request. She hadn’t thought much of it until Alexis had invited her for dinner on Friday. Then later, Alexander asked him out as well, on the same day.Bakit ba kasi maiisip nilang magyaya, sa parehas na araw pa? Kambal nga talaga sila. The dilemma gnawed at her. Alexis was the one she liked, the one she’d dreamed about for ages, but Alexander had helped her when she needed it most. Both invitations felt meaningful in different ways.“Hindi ka rin naman swerte ‘no, bestie,” Kringle reacted, her eyes wide. “Akalain mo bang yayain ka ng dalawang gwapong nilalang na makipag-date sa kanila. At sa parehong araw pa!” She said it like it was a fairytale scenario, but Selena’s sigh told a different story.“Hindi nga ‘yun date

Selena and her friends were on their way to their classroom. They were chit-chatting happily when someone caught their attention. "Psst. Selena. Tignan mo 'yun, oh," Kringle said as she pointed to the boy standing by the wall. "Si Prince Charming ba 'yun o si Knight-in-shining-armor?" She asked. Selena looked towards the direction Kringle was pointing to, identifying in her head who it was. Sharmaine tilted her head to the side. "Anong 'prince' at 'knight' pinagsasasabi mo d'yan?" She asked."Ah. Wala lang naman. Binigyan ko lang ng nicknames ang mga lalaki sa buhay ni Selena," Kringle answered, grinning. Lucy raised her brows at Kringle. "Eh, sino nga si 'prince' at sino si 'knight'?"
