Description
Eliana Izel Mendoza had everything planned. After barely surviving her chaotic 10th grade-she swore to take senior high school slow. No more extracurriculars. No more responsibilities. Just pure academics to prepare for college. But fate had other plans. Eliana finds herself back in the whirlwind she thought she escaped. Still, it's not the meetings or papers that catch her off-guard-it's the people. In a class filled with familiar faces and unexpected transferees, two boys start to change the course of her carefully organized school year: Gavino Leander Ramirez, the weird looking ex-valedictorian with a humble smile and oddly timed compliments, and Laurence Xanth Gomez, a quiet classmate from the past who's suddenly... noticeable. As the months pass and the academic stress piles up, Eliana begins to receive signs-compliments, glances, unspoken gestures. At first, they're easy to dismiss. Just like scribbled notes passed in class. But soon, they start to unfold, revealing feelings she never meant to acknowledge and connections she never expected to form. In a world where Eliana learned to be her own hero, will she let herself be seen? Or will love, like paper notes, get folded away again-left unread?
