The crowded UST Grandstand was a blur of faces, but one stood out to Kael. A girl, laughing with her friends, her smile bright even from across the field. He only caught a glimpse, but it was enough. Weeks later, feeling restless, Kael posted a casual message about dating on their online forum, the UST Freedom Wall. He didn't expect a response. But then, messages started appearing. To keep things casual, he created a dummy account. The online conversations began, light and easy. He didn't realize it was her until weeks into their exchange. He couldn't bring himself to reveal his identity, so he continued hiding behind a fake name. His heart ached with a mix of excitement and fear; he saw her every day at school, knowing she was curious about the mysterious person behind the screen.
