Lira’s life takes a turn when Zayn Monteverde, a mysterious new student, transfers to her class and is assigned as her seatmate. From the start, strange things happen—Zayn asks about Room F, a place surrounded by dark rumors. Despite his cold and unpredictable nature, Lira is drawn to him, sensing he holds secrets.

Meanwhile, Jace, Lira’s longtime friend, starts showing more than friendly concern for her. This doesn’t go unnoticed by Mara, Lira’s best friend, who secretly has feelings for Jace. When they are assigned a skit project, Lira and Zayn team up, while Jace and Mara work together. During rehearsals, Mara realizes Jace might like Lira, making her jealous. Out of frustration, she does small things to sabotage Lira.

As Lira tries to distance herself from Jace, he only gets closer. Zayn, on the other hand, seems jealous yet protective of Lira, confusing her even more. By Chapter 14, Lira realizes she likes Zayn more and tells Mara—without mentioning Jace. However, Mara misunderstands and thinks Lira is deeply in love with Jace. In response, she decides to make Lira jealous by getting close to Zayn, even though she still likes Jace.

Throughout all this, Zayn reveals fragments of his past, including a missing student from his old school, hinting that it all connects back to Room F. But many mysteries remain unsolved, and Lira is determined to uncover the truth—about Zayn, about her own feelings, and about what really happened inside Room F.

The Guardian of Room F (ongoing)

The entire classroom buzzed with excitement as Ma'am Rivera clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.

"Alright, class, as part of your final project, you'll be performing a skit based on historical events," she announced. "You'll work in pairs, and since I know some of you will just partner up with your best friends, I've already made the pairings for you."

A collective groan echoed across the room.

Mara leaned over and whispered to Lira, "I swear, if I don't get Jace, I'm going to lose it."

Lira giggled, but before she could respond, Ma'am Rivera started listing the pairs.

Mara's entire face lit up, and she barely suppressed a squeal. Lira smiled at her, knowing how much she wanted this.

Lira's breath hitched. Of course. She should've expected this.

She turned to glance at Zayn, who was leaning back in his chair, arms crossed. He smirked when their eyes met.

"This should be interesting," he murmured.

Lira swallowed. Why did her heart just skip a beat?

Jace, sitting next to her, leaned in. "Looks like we're stuck with them, huh?" His voice was casual, but there was something in his eyes—something unreadable.

Mara, meanwhile, looked like she had won the lottery.

"Jace and I will kill this project," she said excitedly.

Lira sighed. Between Zayn's mysterious aura and Jace's sudden closeness, she already knew this project was going to be complicated.
