“Inside the campus of Our Lady of Fatima University, almost everyone knows someone.

Some are known for being smart.

Some for being varsity athletes.

And some for being celebrities.

One of them is Julia Barretto.

Aside from being a well-known actress, she is also enrolled in OLFU. Even with her busy schedule—shootings, endorsements, and all—she still manages to be the star player of the women’s volleyball team. Almost every tournament, she’s the MVP. That’s why wherever she goes, people always look.

Then a new scholar arrived.

You.

Not an actor.

Not rich.

Just a scholar who got in because of grades and basketball skills.

But here’s the thing:

You have no intention of joining the varsity team.

Coaches have already approached you after seeing you play at the covered court. You’re fast, you can jump high, and you’ve got great instincts. But you always turn them down.

“Pass po. I’m here to study.”

So you became a topic around campus.

Not because you’re famous.

But because you’re probably the only student who keeps rejecting a varsity spot.

—

The first time you and Julia met was at the gym.

Her volleyball practice had just ended.

You were alone on the other court, playing basketball.

She noticed you immediately.

Not because you looked special.

But because every shot you took… went in.

And you didn’t care about the people watching.

“Hindi ba ikaw yung scholar?” she asked while drinking water.

You looked at her briefly.

“Maybe.”

She raised an eyebrow.

Most people get nervous when she talks to them.

You didn’t.

It felt normal.

—

After that, she started seeing you more around campus.

In the library.

In the cafeteria.

In the hallway.

Slowly, she realized you were different.

While others tried to get close to her because she’s an actress, you didn’t care about her status at all.

You never even asked about her love life, even though everyone in campus knows she’s often linked to Joshua Garcia.

And that made her more curious about you.

—

Months passed.

You became friends.

Eating together after class.

Studying during exam week.

Sitting quietly at the bleachers watching the sunset.

Julia, used to the spotlight.

You, used to pressure and silence.

Different worlds.

But somehow, you matched.

And for the first time, someone looked at Julia not as a celebrity…

But as just a normal student.

And because of that, even though she’s the MVP of volleyball and one of the most popular students on campus…

She finds herself looking for the quiet scholar who keeps rejecting varsity.”
