Judith Drakeyar, a five foot sophomore of Westview high had one goal. To be the best female basketball player and prove to all that her miniature size wasn't a fault to be reckoned in the sport that favoured height above all. Throw in a med college student who loves boycotting his classes and asks Judith to do the same with her practices. Travis hadn't always been such a hard kid but something has made him to start retaliating. And it seems Judith is the only one that can get through to him. But in doing so she's growing further away from the one thing that's giving her an identity. Basketball. Is her dream just a passing passion that could be forgotten or is her drive to be the best player too passionate to let a boy get in the way? After all Judith had always preferred sneakers over heels hasn't she?

Amelia's life is shattered when a tragedy befalls her. All she ever wanted to do was escape from her reality. The trauma she faced gnawed at her, eating up her soul day after day. Locking herself up and starving herself to death wasn't enough to make the pain go away. All it did was hurt those around her. And so she decided to escape to another country. A place where no one knew her nor could bother her. A place where she would be left alone without people constantly worrying over her. A place she could start anew. What she did not expect was to actually find salvation. A reason for her to move forward. Friends as important as life and perhaps a love that could save her from drowning. A roller-coaster ride through the three years of school. Who ever said that high school days were a walk-in-the-park?

Zeesha hadn’t expected to be married off at the young age of twenty. But that is exactly what’s happened and now two years later she is living the life of a housewife. She was a novelist, a painter and a dreamer before her hands were tied with the burden of a ring. “It’s for your own good”, they had said. Was living in the shadows of another what was considered ‘good’? But at long last she got a chance to bring out her passions once more. And to top it off with a cherry, it was in a country she had only dreamt of visiting. Japan, the country of dreamers. Taking the post as a high school teacher, she leaves for the country with her sister tagging along. Only she never expects to enter the heart of a young boy in his teenage years awaiting to experience first love. And she happens to be his first love. All she ever wanted to do was help him face the world to which he had turned his back to. But the secret moments they spend in the lonely library only fueled more attraction and soon all Shukuya could think of was his teacher. Torn between the shackles of an unwanted loveless marriage and the genuine love of a student, all that runs in her mind is, “was it worth begging for freedom?”
