Thorne Alonso. Chickboy. Rich. Famous. Hindi seryoso sa pakikipagrelasyon.

Leia’s Diary by Victoria Amor

Para isang ligaw na daga na laging puntirya ng masasamang pusa si Leia sa St. James Academy. Parang bitamina ng mga kaklase niya araw-araw ang pahirapan siya.
Ang pagpasok niya araw-araw ay isang challenge na lagi niyang kailangang lampasan para sa pangarap nilang mag-ina. Pero hindi niya inakala na biglang magbabago ang buhay niya sa pagdating ng bad boy transferee sa academy — si Ross Valdforz.

 





Lesbi In Love by Ow Wsic

Mary Jovelyn Salazar or MJ for short can’t feel any sexual attraction towards the opposite gender. Sagad hanggang buto ang pagkainis niya sa mga lalaki. Mas gusto pa niyang magsuot ng mga damit-panlalaki kaysa magpaka-girly girl. Secretly in love din siya sa best friend niyang babae mula pa noong high school. Kaya, bakit may nararamdaman siyang something kay Ross Eliseo Valentin, ang notorious playboy ng school campus?
Can someone enlighten her, please?

Dahil sa bagong imbentong virtual reality game ni Chester ay naging successful ang misyon ni Steph. Hindi lang siya napansin ni Dalton, nakasama pa niya—sa loob mismo ng game na nilalaro nila. May problema nga lang. Hindi nila alam kung paano sila makakalabas doon.



 

Marceline Cinco’s High School Survival Guide by Rose Tan

TOP TEN REASONS WHY MARCELINE WANNA DATE DECLAN MENDOZA:
He’s got the WORST tardiness excuse: ‘I got trapped in the lil’ boys’ room.’ His guitar gently weeps. He named his puppy after Marceline. Unlike Marvis the science dude, he does not sleep next to Cubee, the robotics club bot. He can write a thousand-word report. HE KNOWS A THOUSAND WORDS! He managed to learn 500 years of Philippine history before the third period. AWESOME!  Declan beat her to the presidency. His gym socks don’t match. But they don’t smell either. He scored 9/10 on the sewing test rubric. THE GUY CAN SEW! He does not apply deodorant OVER his shirt.


 
My Fat Chance by Sofia

Pangarap ng pamilya ni Quinn na maging susunod siyang Miss Universe. Pero wala iyon sa plano niya. Ang tanging kaligayahan niya ay kumain ng masasarap. Kaya naman nang alukin siya ni Chance sa isang deal na bibigyan siya ng lahat ng pagkaing gusto niya nang patago kung ilalapit niya ito sa antipatikang pinsan na si Cindy, tinanggap niya kahit na mababasted din ang lalaki sa huli.
Pero habang sinasaktan ni Cindy si Chance, si Quinn din ang nasasaktan. At nahiling niya na sana ay siya na lang ang gusto ni Chance.


 


Our Last Colorful Days by Tyra

Alexandrei Rivas is a fifteen year old boy who thinks that he doesn't have anything to look forward to in his life. Then one day, nakilala niya si Pippa. She was the complete opposite of him.  Pati ang paghinto niya sa pagpipinta ay pinapakialaman nito. Then she slowly wormed her way into his heart and pulled him out of the darkness he was in. Because of her, the things he sees were no longer gray. Instead, it was all filled with colors. Because of her, he was happy again.
Pero hindi rin nagtagal ang kasiyahan na iyon because Pippa has a terminal illness. Walang kasiguraduhan kung gagaling pa ito o hindi.  And that broke him inside all over again.
