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

Chad drove us into an old apartment away from the campus. It was a poorly lit, eerily quiet neighborhood with dilapidated houses and a thick balete tree, and if it wasn’t for the Christmas song playing on the radio, I would’ve believed I was in a horror movie–although, the combination wasn’t really far-fetched considering the movie festival entries of the season. I shuddered as we walked the rest of the way to the farthest room on the first floor. I was wondering why the previous rooms looked abandoned until I heard a loud, discordant sound as we stepped inside. 


“St. Beatrice in the house! Oh, yeah!” a guy in the living area hollered as he tapped the edge of the table with his pens. “On my right? Reverend Gomeeeez,” he dragged on like an announcer in a boxing match. “Wait, where is he? Where is everybody?” He twisted from his seat, only realizing the fact that he was practically alone at the table.
