Set in a Philippine high school in the early 2000s, the story is voiced by the introverted, socially awkward, and mystery-loving Irene Sebastian. The story starts on her first day in high school and looking back, she had no idea she would be meeting a girl who was going to change her world unexpectedly.

Day by day, Irene was finding herself getting drawn to her classmate, Yana. Slowly, consumingly, where would these feelings take her?

From solving mysteries to beating bad guys, from making friends to falling in love, Irene had no choice but to face her fears. She was discovering new things the only way she knew how. Especially now that a girl had captured her heart.

The Way I Remember You

It’s always the beginning that gets to be the hardest. Discovering something dangerous. Wanting to tell someone about it. Whom to tell. 


There’s always the worry you wouldn’t be taken seriously; and if they do, what comes next? 


Now I knew what Calvin must have felt when he came to our classroom that day, hoping someone would listen to him. Hoping someone would believe his words. 


There was one person whom I didn’t confide in at that time. This time, I wanted to do differently, hoping that the next events would unfold differently as well… with much more ease, and support, and less action, and drama. 


“Wait… Rin, are you sure? It’s best to think about this first and not jump into conclusions yet,” was what Yana said after I told her what I heard between Evelyn and the suspicious man.
