Curiosity Chronicles

Tahimik. Matalino. Misteryosa. Si Xyrel Rivera—ang bagong transferee sa San Rafael High—ay hindi katulad ng iba. Habang ang buong klase ay abala sa mga ingay ng kabataan, siya’y laging nakaupo sa pinakadulong upuan, nakatingin sa labas ng bintana… at tila may tinitimbang na lihim na siya lang ang nakakaalam. Para kay Prof. Ederson Nolasco, si Xyrel ay isang palaisipan. Sa una’y awa lang ang naramdaman niya—hanggang sa dahan-dahan itong nagbago. Ang pagnanais niyang tulungan ang dalaga ay nauwi sa pagkagusto, at ang simpleng curiosity ay naging panganib na di na niya mapigilan. Bawal. Mali. Pero bakit tila mas lalong humihigpit ang tali sa pagitan nila sa bawat titig, sa bawat lihim na sandali, at sa bawat salitang hindi dapat marinig ng iba? Sa isang mundong hinuhusgahan ang bawat maling pag-ibig, pipiliin ba ni Prof. Ederson ang tama… o ang tanging taong nagparamdam sa kanya ng tunay na damdamin?
